Dr. Farkhurst says that heaven is undoubtedly a locali ty. "I am uot one of those who think there is great danger in materializing heavenly things," says the doctor. ''Y'ou cannot read tiie Apocalyptic description of iNew Jerusalem without feeling that, with its walls and gatis, its avenues and mansions, it will be aa substantial an allair as the original Jerusalem.

"All such scriptural expressions as the 'new heaven' and the -new earth' fall directly into line with what we are here saying.

Kuunells, sreneral manager of the Pull man car company, today withdraws Irom the company's employ. It is known that tiie hee.a of Mr. I'uilman's corps of legal advisers has for some time wished to re linquish his responsibilities. the pubiic wn: be Hked to believe that Mr. liunnolls' wish to return to the general practice of law is because he finds his wora too monotonous, and be cause bethinks that n. ore varied employ ment wouhl give him wider scope for his abilities. From excellent authority, how ever, it is learned that the real reasons which inspire the lawyer's action are that he is tired of Cieo. M. Pullman's arrogance and that he cannot ive the policy of the con.pany his conscientious approval. 1 be first of these reasons explains itseif to anyone who knows Pullman. The second needs a word of explanation. Mr. Runnells fee;?, that in h.s capacity cf general counsel he is compelled to stand before tne put. lie as an advocate of everything the Pullman company does. In the light of recent events, therefore, he thinks it best to return to tae geueral practice of law. He would Late taken this step last spring, but the strike came on aud the riots, and to have left his post then would have been to have deserted the company in its time of need. TILD ENS Home s old.

KATE CROSS A Voung Man K.ill Himself Itecaune She Wouldn't Many Him. Bcrantox, Pa., Dec. 25. About a year ago Mrs. Kate Cross of Emporia, Kan., j who was one of the Kansas musical di i rectors at the World's fair and one of the I most attractive women of that state, j came here and bought a lonely cettage near the Factoryville tunnel on the Lack I awanna road. j She brought with her an elegant outfit j of furniture and was iu receipt of a monthly allowance from her husband, Charles Cross, the Emporia banker, of j lUO, which was more than sullicient for her purposes in that lonely place. The j women of the neighborhood soon found j that she was an educate and compauiou- able woman and a talented artist. She xiid not seek their society and never re turned their calls. Shortly after her arrival here Mrs Cross secured, more as a body guard thau as a servant, a youaf farmer ot the i vicinity aamed Benjamin C. Ko.sencranz, t and, as might have been expected, lie i fell quickly in love with her. Juntwhat passeu between them will never be kuowu, but his friends learuod that, while the refined lady had reaiiy contracted a warm feeling for the un couth young man, she speedily informed him that there were obstacles to a mar riage between them which could not bo overcom e. In vain the young man pleaded his love aud devutiou to her, but she was ob durate and he conceived the idea of sui i cide. Thou gh Jurs.

OUR SUGAR DUTIES Responsible tor Spain's Retali ation Measure. Gresiiam to Close Our Ports to All Spanish Products. SUGAR WILL GO UP From Three to Six Pound. Cents Per Wasttixgton, Dec 25 Interesting developments are expected at au early day as a result of the strained relations j between the Lcited States and Spaiu i over the tariil. Iu official circles it is not believed that Spain will yield to the xotest of Secre tary Grestiam. In that event, if the secretary carries his threat out. President Cleveland will issue a proclamation closing American ports to the products of tspaiu- The lirst eifect of this will be to shut out tue enormous shipments of raw sugar which Cuba makes to this country. Iu ollictal circles it is said that Cuba furnishes seven-eighths of all the raw sujzar used iu American refineries. The other eighth comes from Louisiana and Hawaii, but it is said that it would be impossible to make up this seven eighths now drawn from Cuba. It is asserted, therefore, by those in no way identified with or partial to the su gar industry, that the retaliation would cut more off from their supplies and close them up, throwing 2,U0J employes out of work. The statement was made by a high of ficial who has had much to do witn the negotiations and who fa very apprehen sive of the results. He added that the ultimate effect of the warfare would be to advance the price of sugar from 3 to ti cents per pound, thus making the public bear tue burden. Tue immediate effect of Spain's action has already proved disastrous to tiie American trade in Hour aud this trade has passed almost exclusively into the hands of Canada. American flour used to be shipped to Cuba in great quantities. But when the United Stales tariff raised the duty on Cuban sugar Spaiu responded by raising the duty on Amer ican fi jur. Her duty on American Ibmr is fL75, while Canada pays $1. Canada thus enjoys an advantage of 75 cents a barrel on hour and this has proved ample to allow Canada to wrest the Cuban Hour trade away from the United States. SHIELDING RUMI10LES.

New York, Dec. 25. The Hallway Age has prepared its annual data of new railway construction in 1 Hi4, and the figures fitly rellect the wretched business surroundings of tran -portatiou interests during the year now closing. The figur-ss are the lowest for twenty years, ard the oniv exceptions in thirty years were 1S75, iMi'j and 1S05. Eighteen hundred ami eiirh ty-seven was the top notch year with 1 o.OOO miles. The figures show Arizona leads the list with l'.i'.i miles, Illinois next with 147 miles and Pennsylvania third with 12S miles. Only one mile of road was constructed in Oregon The total mileage in the United States for 1S'J4 is 1,919: Canada. U22; Mexico, 74. 1 hese figures take no note of the vast and rapidly increasing mileage of light roads, electrical aud others, which now share with the steam roads iu short dis tance passenger travel. In soiue in stances important lines through popu lous regions have been well nigh paral leled. The 20 miles of the New York and New Haveu road, between New Y'ork and Boston, is now thus treated for 150 miles, and much valuable busiues3 has been diverted. The I'ooliaz itilf. Washington, Dec 25.

The people who hud put off buying Christmas gifts till the last minute were much iu evidence last night. The Kansas edition of Santa Claus could more appropriately come out in bloomers with a bicycle, than in furs with reindeers and a sleigh. Apropos of books, the stores that sold books for the holiday trade made a rule that books would not be exchanged; be cause, as one business man explained, "the recipients will read one book and exchange it for another." A man who wanted one of Oliver Wen dell Holmes' books yesterday had hard work to escape from the clerk without buying Lena Kivers. After making his escape he asked for a copy of Daniel Deronda, and that being out of stock, he was urged to take Adam Bede, "be cause," he was informed, "the same man wrote it you know!" And again, speaking of books, the Trilby craze grows, and Triibvmanii would seem an appropriate term, livery body wanted it for everybody else, and there were many pretty editions of it that made most acceptable yifts. One girl received several copies, and one young man carried it hom i to his sister only to find that some o!h"r member of tho family had also bought it for her. The most unhappy wight alive ihis morning is the man whose wife bought him a box of cigars, except perhaps tna one who bougnt him a necktie. it is a tradition of the sex that a m ni.ui Cati't buy neckties or ci.ir. As to the cij-jr-1, a woman fails to see how the same b; t:i 1 he always ues could be diIen-nt because she bought them; and as fur tli s ties, well some men would m akn a. better appearnnc.- if some one did al ways select their lies, at least some v, j meu think so.

OLIVE HARPER SOUNDS ITS PRAISE3 IN TRUMPET TONES. She Also Describes a Lovely Vlsitlcgr Gown That Is Not Suggestive of Hard Times, The Law of Mourning Costumes I'rettJ lamplight Colors. Kew York, Dec. 20. In mourning dresses there has seldom beeu any marked innovation all the difference Le;i;g Eome slight changes in the dis posal of the crape trimming or the shape of the dress. But the nineteenth century modiste has outdone herself and produced a novelty that falls on tha eye like a balm. This consists in having wide bretelles iu front and a eoit of bertha cape in the back, made of white cashmere, braided with black inoliaii soutache. The lore parts of the sleeve are made iu tho same manner. The dress itself is of rich eudora cloth, out princess shape, with a dtruitrain. The A,? 7F 't. 4- v r i i 1 1 MOURNING ri!L?S AD VELVET PKISCnSiJ GO A N. front is opr-u over a pf.nel made of ono breadth of crrtpo laid in a box plait. The balloon tie-eves are of crape and etiflly interlined. The waist is of crape, shirred into the neckband. The pres ence of tho white 011 the heretofore dis mal black is calculated to relieve the beholder of the depression that a full mourning gown usually gives, and it would be w il to copy the design. Among all tho lovely gowns for visit ing of this seaon I doubt if there is one more attractive than that I am about to describe for some clever lady to repro duce. It is of royal purple velutina, cut princess, but so very full in the back that it falls naturally into godot plaits. The front is draped across in teu small plaits, not all together, but at such dis tances and in such placers as will throw a proper form to the seamless front. The gown closes oa the left side and has a row cf gray fox fur all the way down and one cither row on the skirt simulat ing an opening. Another row is around the neck, and another lands the falls to the sleeves. These are lined with gray Fatiu. If a lady wi.-hes to make a gown like this, all sho has to remember is to take up all those little plaits before she trims off the nkirt. The rest is as easy as rolling oil the traditional log. I had intended mentioning another mourning costume, this for a young widow, before speaking of any other gown, but it is not too late now, I hope. There is certainly a growing revolt against tho old set, heavy and shapeless garments that women were expected to wear after a death and most particular ly that of a husband. The revolution has brought the possibility cf a dress quite attractive enough in its way to help console tho widow for iter dreadful loss. The same long princess lines pre vail in this also, though this is of walk ing length. The back is of Priestley silk warp henrietta, and English crape forms more than half the front. Tiie waist portion shows crape as founda tion, with a double bertha of tho henri etta, stiffened with buckram. The sleeves are large gigots. The muff is of crape, with edg 'S of black skuukskin. The bonnet has l ows of crape on each side and a tiny black feather. The veil reaches nearly to tho feet. The white cap i3 the veriest line of white and scarcely shows. One of the French authorities oa fashion lays down tho laws to our la dies as wi il as to those of France. It tells ti at in the morning we must I'INNEP. DRESS AND WIIX)W'S COSTUME. wear tailor costumes, severe and plain, in dark colors, but a fancy ve.-t may be worn. After 12 o'clock a costume of waved wCol may be worn, but it must be combined with velvet or brocade if different color. At 5 o'clock is the tea gown permitted, even ordered, and this must be of velvet or crushed plush of the greatest elegance. It must be ti im rued with lace and with fur, and ribbons may add their grace.. For evening moiie bengaline is prescribed, as it is soft and pliable. The colors should be forge tme not blue, periwinkle and green. They say that these colors are the loveliest of all. Others tell us that maize, prim rose, rose pink and bluet are all p:retty lamplight colors. It seems to me that with euch lucid advice as that it would be impossible for any cue to make a mistake on theciuestion of what to wear and how to wear it. I am tired of being bossed by these foreign folks, and I'll wear what I lik when, where and how I like it. Olive H a RPitii. f CA i X' r y RICHEST TOWN IN THE COUNT. Cdi, 0, Is Little, Wealthy, Contented and Consequently XIappy. Spocial Correspondence. Pittsburg, Deo. 20. It was a com mercial traveler who waa talking, and the Rubject of hia remarks was the little town of Cadiz, O. "There is not another town like it in the world, he declared, with enthusi asm. "Its population is only about 1,800, less rather than more, I should say, but it has four banks with an ag gregate capital of $390,000 and a sur plus cf $175,000. Mind you, Cadiz is not a suburb of any big city. It is an in dependent place by itself, not located on a trunk line railroad and reached from the outside world only by means 1 of a short line, of which it is one ter- j minus, and the only other station ia the i other terminus, Cadiz Junction. "It is years since the place has grown any, for it is not a manufacturing town far from it and the bhick, pall-like clouds of smoke that hang over so many we.-tern towns are conspicuous there be cause of their absence. In fact, there may be some falling off in population, but the Cadiz people elo not worry about tha. They feel coutented in the belief thus they are secure from financial un certainty for years to come, for they say there is greater per capita wealth held iu Cadiz than, in any other town in the United States or possibly in the world. Of course there are some sum- iser settlements and suburbs no larger 1 than Cadiz where there is greater wealth peT capita, but I doubt if there is a place of independent existence where the inhabitants are so uniformly well off. And surely there is 110 great city that can show any such general prosper ity as Cadiz. At least half ef the fami lies are rich, and 110 one is actually poor, except perhaps soma of tho darkies, who comprise probably oiie-cjuarter of the population. "How elid Cadiz come to be so pros perous? Well, the town is located in the heart of the best wool producing region in the United States. So favorable are the conditions for sheep growing in that vicinity that it has always been profit able there. The Cadizi rs are conserva tive, temperate and proud of their place and the prominent men they have sent out into the big world. While I was there I talked with the landlord of the hotel a good deal, and ho pointed out to mo the law ofiice occupied, when a young man, by Edwin JI. Stanton, after- watd Lincoln's secretary of war. The landlord also informed me thatCongress man John II. Bingham was originally from Cadiz, and that Cy Young and both the Bill Watsons (father and son) 1 began life within the borders of the town. I do not know who Cy Y'oung and the Bill Watsons are, but I did not tell the landlord so, and he mistaking my look of uncertainty as to their iden- tity for ono of admiration, 110 doubt, wound up his enthusiastic catalogue of the notables Cadiz has furnished to the world by pointing out two men that had just entered. i "'Them fellers,' he said proudly, I 'played in the band with Buffalo Bill all summer. Cadiz is little, but some of j her folks is in it in most everything i worth while on this footstool. Charles Aitlesee. EXAMINATION AT YALE. Ways That Are Dark anil Tricks That Are Not Always Vain. Spfcinl Correspondence. KewEavex, Dec. 20. Twice a year, in the early part of December aurl of June, a visitor 011 the Yale campus may see, gathered about tho steps of old Alumni hall, a group of students anx iously awaiting the stroke of tho hour. The regular semiannual examinations are about to begin. Tho old hall frowns dow n grim and silent like a feudal cas tle. The studious among the stuelents stand apart iu proud self reliance, dis cussing Greek roots or mathematical in tricacies in a learned way. Questions fly thick aurl fast through the rest of tho group. Anxious faces now show an eagerness to pick up crumbs of infor mation which would have made glad the tutor's heart in months geine by. Some, too, are dealing out knowledge with a mysterious and canning air. The clock strikes, and the eloors are thrown open. Anxiety seems to van ish for a moment, and the crowd pushes forward with cheers. Once inside the hall, every desk is soon taken, and all is quiet. The pro fessor in charge is seated ou a raised platform, while tho watchers pace noise lessly up and elowii the aisles. There are usually five or six of the latter, ajitl their sharp eyes are everywhere to detect any attempt at dishonesty. The penalties for such dishonesty are severe failure in tiie examination, suspeusieni or even expulsion. In face of this it would hard ly seem that cheating would be attempt ed or could be carried thremgh under so many eyes, yet it is. Many and in genious devices are used every year and seldom detected. It is an easy matter to conce al a close ly written slip in the left hand, and muc h information can be carried in that way, or the palm of the hand itself is often written upon. Every year, at Yale or elsewhere, dates ami important facts are smuggler! into the ball on the inside of the cuff or on the edges of a blotting pari. The presence of a watch on the elek excites iiij suspicion, for time is limited, and therefore precious. But the circular piece of paper, parted neatly in the cover, is oite-n much more valuable than time for the successful issue of an exam. Some "cribs," as the-e aiels are call ed, are by no means so simple. One that has been used several times in New Haven, to the writer's knowledge1, was made of a long strip of paper, about the width of a newspaper column, and deft ly fastened to two match sticks, after the manner of a papyrus roih This could be easily worked by the move ment of the fingers of one hand and ex pose only a small portion of the roll at one time. On one that I saw was a full digest of a three mouths' lecture course. A-RTHCK Chase. AN AMERICAN RINCE. times L. Ord, Telegraph Lineman, Claima Descent From George IV. James JL. Ord, a lineman of the West- ern Union Telegraph company and a resident of Port land, Or., is a great grandson cf George IV, king of England, and says he can produce the doc uments to prove it. But for an accident of reli giou he might now be on the throne in place of Queen Victo ria. The story of James L. ord. bis connection with the English throne is an interest ing one. History shows that prior to 17 So the Prince of Wales, who after ward became George IV, was desperate ly in love with Maria Fitzherbert, a young widow of wealth, beauty and good family. Tho prince was 19, and she was 25. Mrs. Fitzherbert frowned upon his suit, well knowing that it could not end happily for the young prince and herself. The prince vowed he would kill himself if she refused to marry him and even went so far as to gash himself with a knife. The result was that the tender hearted widow mar ried him privately in 1785. As 6he waa a Catholic the ceremony was performed by a priest and was not legal iu Eng land at the time. Tho result of this union was a son, who was placed in charge of ono James Ord, who called him his nephew and took him to America. The alleged neph ew was named James Orel, ami although he joined tho continental army he aft erward received numerous gifts from his mother in England and was watched by British agents until ho died in Oma ha at tho age of 95. Of his seven chil dren, the youngest male living is John S. Ord of Santa Cruz, Cab, whose sec ond son -is James L. Ord, the Western Union lineman. When James Ord, the allegerl uncle, diet!, lie left papers show ing that his so called nepheiW was the son of George IV and Maria Fitzher bert. After his marriage to Mrs. Fitz herbert Prince George marrieel Princess Caroline. After her death Mrs. Fitzher bert again lived with George, who was then king, but at length retired to Brighton, where she died in 1S37. It is said that documents proving "James Orel's" legitimacy aro now locked up in Coutts' bank in London. The Western Union prince is 24 years old aid a blond, smooth faced, graceful young man. He seems possessed of un usual intelligence fer one following the calling of a telegraph lineman, and he believes tljat one day tho papers in Coutts' bank will be opened. lie eloes not believe, however, that he will ever assist in running the British govern ment. HE SENTENCED DEBS. Career of Judge Wood at the liar and en the Hench. Judge William A. Woods, whoso trial snel sentence of Eugene V. Debs and his lieutenants in the great strike of the American Railway union have again brought him prominently before the public, has served about three years as Uniteel States judge for the Seventh ju dicial circuit, embracing Indiana, Illi nois and Wisconsin, and has had many years' experience on the bench. There was great opposition to his confirma tion in the senate at the time of his ap pointment, but he pulled through by a vote of 2 to 24. Judge Woods is a native of middle Tennessee, having been born in Mar shall county on May 16, 1837. When he was still quite young, his parents re moved to Davis county, Ia. and a few years later to Indiana. Youug Wooels JUDGE WILLIAM A. WOODS. left home at the age of 12 to seek his fortune. His first employment was driv ing oxen in a sawmill. After assisting to builel an academy at Troy, Ia. by carrying bricks and mortar he entered it as a pupil and in time became one of the teachers. He graduated from Wa bash college and begun the practice of law in Grant county and afterward in Goshen, Elkhart county. In 1SCG he served as a member of the lower bouse of the legislature and in 1S73 was elected judge of the Thirty fourth juelicial district, being re-elected in 167G without opposition. In 1SS0 he was nominated and elected judge of the Indiana supreme court. In May, 1883, he was appointed United States liistrict judge for the district of Indi tna as successor to Walter Q.

A handsome sleigh stood under the pavil ion, tilled with bags of candies and nuts, and ou the platform, blushing in the light, were ruddy Rome Beauty apples and large, sweet Florida oranges.

Uow the Mines are Operateil at the state J'euiteiitiary. Some interesting details are given by Warden Chase of the operation of the state coal mines in connection with the penitentiary at Lansing, Leavenworth county. The institution was located there in 186,5 on account of the prox imity to extensive stone quarries which it was thought would afford employment to the prisoners. In 1S70 coal was found iu sufficient quantity to constitute an im portant state interest, and duriug the past twenty-five years coal has been mined to the amount of 17,7S:3,u02 bush els. The original I'enitentiary tract com prised forty acres, but upon the discov ery of coal the state bought adjoining tracts amounting to li'25 acres, and leased an additional 340 acres, giving a front age ou the Missouri river of three-fourths of a mile by one and one-half miles east and west, including a half-mile under the river bed. The stratum of coal is twenty-three inches thick and 713 feet from the grass roots. Ths state has mined under the whole of the original forty acres and about one half of the first 140 acres of leased b.ud. For the leased ground a royalty of two mills per bushel is paid, amounting to 140 per acre. It is estimated that there is euough left under the ground owned and controlled ly the state to last for fifty years at the present rate of working. About ijoO men are employed under ground during tho year, the product of their labor being b,00O bushels daily more than suilicient to supply all the state institutions. The surplus above that used by ihe state is sold to contractors at 0 2-5 cents per bushel, equivalent to $50,000 a year. The quantity used at the several state institutions at the same price, amounts to i;J0,000 a year, making the total an nual value of the output $S ),U0(). The coal, which is of excellent quality, rests on a bed of fireclay, above whicii is a roof of slate aud on top of that is solid rock. The plan of operation is by a sys tem of alleys, 100 feet apart, with cross alleys every 50 feet. During the entire time of operation not a single serious ac cident has happened in the drifts. As the men receive no pay for their labor the greatest care is exercised and the mine is regarded as one of the safest in the United States. The vein of coal has been traced a dis tance of nearly two miles from the home mine, and it is thought the same vein has been located fifteen miles southwest, at Tonganoxie. In fact, it is the opinion of engineers that the whole triangle com prising the county of Leavenworth is underlaid with coal, aud that the supply is practically iuexhaustibie.

Scornful Jeweler Ki pressed Sur prise That It Had Stopped. A young1 g"irl took her watch into the jeweler's recently and explained that something was the matter with it. While the watchmaker examined it the owner of the fractious watch remarked that she did not see what made it act so. "It is always stopping- or having something- haopen. to it," she sail. "I'ossibly you do not take good care of it," ventured the jeweler, closely regarding- the interior of the watch. "Oil, yes, I da I wind it nearly every ni.rjrht, and I nearly always re member to take it out of my pocket when I take ofT my dress. The p )ok;t in nay gray dress is too largre, though, and sometimes it falls into the bowl' when I am wnshing-." "Water would ruin it if it g"Ofi in side, remarked the jeweler. "That little bit wouldn't," said the g-irl. with a very wise shake of tha head. "It's only falls that hurt them. Once it fell out of the upstairs win dow, but it lauded iu the rose bush, and it wasn't hurt much. The time Johnny queezi;d it by shutting the bureau drawer oa it the crystal broken, thoug-h." By that time the jeweler had covered that the balance wheel out of place and two coif broken. "I don't e how it happened," said the g"-rl in surprise. "It tie w out of my blouso pocket yesterday when I was sinjin dumb-beils, but I don't suppose that was what hurt it." "Those thing's seldom do," said the man, this time with a touch of scorn. was dis-was fMiir f- XfoW. Baker, 1 y. f LV, do vou think (OT-'I the horse?" i "Evident! v 5 --S a A Bow llunjiriao Statesman Keliered Himirlf of People Who Bored Illm. Of the Hungarian statesman, Fran ;is Deak, it is related that he used to rid himself of troublesome visitors by telling- them the following" ttory: "Once, when in Paris, Xapoleon I paid a visit to a hospital for old toldiers. Here he perceived among the rest a man who had lost ona of his arms, and ha entered into con rersation with him. "'Where did you lose your arm?' stsked the emperor. 'At Waterloo, your majesty.' 'Then, no doubt, you curse the emperor and your country every time yon look at your mutilated limb?' D 'No, indeed,' protested the veter an, 'for tha enip'jror and my native land I would readily sacritice my other arm if needs be.' "'I can hardly believe that,' the emperor quietly remarked.and passed on. "But the soldier, anxious to prove that he wan in earnest, immediately drew a sabr from its sheath and lopped oif his other arm." Here Deak would pause and fix a penetrat ing- look on his visitor. "Well, what have you to say of such a man and such an action?"' "A most sublime act of self-sacrifice! A truly noble character!" This was the Btyle of reply invariably given. "But the story has one Saw," ha would gravely add. "What is that, pray?" "It is simply impracticable. How could a one-armed man contrive to cut off his only remaining' arm?" w hat about it is all rig-tit, fcir, answered the trainer, curtly, with true English im pudence. Whereupon M. de i-iovaumont looked as if he thouo-ht "Fortune knows what she owes me." Still, any one that was well ac quainted with him would see that he was nervous from the way his fingers tortured his eyegdass. It was the day before the Grand Prix, and, ncthwith standina; Bakers confide nee, our noble sportsman felt anxious. True, Jasruar was a splendid animal, and had shown such splendid speed at Chantilly that M. de boyatiniout was justified in ex pecting that to-morrow his horse would take the lead from the start, and keep to it, too. itill, the race track holds so unexpected surprises that he could not help feeling just the least bit uneasy. His aristocratic evebrows drew themselves nervously together as he heard a sligdit knock at the door of the smoking room "What is it. Firmin?" "Madame sends word to monsieur le eomte that M. L'erard was very ill last ni "-lit. M. do Loyauinonl's noble eyebrows contracted entirely as he drawled: "1 must see the horse first. After that I will go to M. Berard before breakfast. He did not utter another word, for he was too much put out to trust him self. When he had married M. Berard's niece it was on condition that her uncle should be ionored; and now the tradesman, with the impertinence of a millionaire, dared to be ill in his house whom, very impudently, he persisted in calliny "son-in-law."' Ncthing' less than Jaguar's excellent condition could have put M. de Eoyautnont in pood Lumor again. As he entered the dimly lighted stall Jaguar turned his head toward the door and stretched out his muz zled nose, as though lie were g-oino-to bite. His master lovinodv passed his hands over the animal's satiny neck. The two resembled each other. Both unmistakably showed race and hio-h breeding- in their muscuiar ten derness, grace of motion, and deli cate firmness of limb. M. de Loyau mont passed the remainder of the morning- talking- to the stableman, and listening- to the gossip of the jockeys about the rumors which Jaguar's adversaries were spreading. He had so completely forgotten Uncle Berard's illness that he was fairly startled when, without warning, Fir min said to him, on his entering the house. "M. le comte, it is a stroke of apo plexy." Sure enough, when the count en tered the sick room, he found the in valid stretched motionless on the large canopied bed. His silvery hair, cut close to his perfectly round head, and the whiteness of the sheets, made the naturally red face look purple. His shirt was open at the throat re vealing a massive neck. The fat body raised the blankets till they re sembled a huge eiderdown cushion, while the sufferer's bauds lay inert on the satin counterpane. The dying plebeian business man seemed sadly out of place in the gorgeous bed, and h's agony seemed to Vie watched with disgust by the powdered, wigged and I scarlet-coated gentlemen whose por- traits looked down from the high walla upon the moribund stranger. Disgust, also, was plainly written on IP' "I should at least expect you to evince some concern at your relative's want of tact," and murmuring something- about ''low-bred vulgarians," he went out, slam m i ng the door. Poor Uncle Berard died alone that eveningat 6 o'clock, without having regained consciousness. The heir's felt no fear about the will. The pood man had adopted his niece almost from her cradle, had had her educa ted at a convent with the daughters of the nobility, and all his life had worked to amass an immense dot for her. He had hardly suffered from her ingratitude. He was content to be the lowest step in the monumen tal staircase up which "his Helen" had mounted to her grand social posi i tion. In coming home to dinner and find ing Barker iu the ante-room M. de Boyaumont was Ftartled. Q"Has anything happened to Jag uar?" "No, monsieur le comte." "What then?" "Madame's uncle has died." Not withstanding his usual self-possession, M. de Loyaumout rushed like a whirlwind into his wife's apart ment. "Well," said he. "he has done it." Mme. de Loyaumont wiped her eyes with a little lace rag. "Do not let that prevent your horse from running." said she. "Uncle Brerard never would permit such a sacrifice." Bovauruont shrugged his shoulders. "I do not care for his permission aod I have never asked hira for lessons on etifuettj" he came near saying, "nor you either," but a remnant of rood breeding kept him silent. Mme. de Loyaumont did iso wish to find a way out of the difficulty. "Look here," said she, "My uncle never went out none of our friends know him. Would it not be sufficient if you and I kept away from the race course, Sunday?" Loyaumont sneered. "And let my jockey wear crepe on his cap? I dare say you would consider that good form And as the lady asserted thatyoung de Teramont went to the hunt last year shortly after his mother's death, her husband completely lost hia tem per. "Hunting is permissible during mourning, and those are customs you would oblige tne by learning. By Jove! I really thought you were bet ter brought up." Well, what do you propose doing?" Without replying, M. de Loyau mont pressed the electric bell and said to the butler who answered it: "Send me the cook at once." "When the chef appeared M. de Loyaumont asked: "Casimir, can you preserve a large piece of game on ice?" "A large piece, M. le comte?" "Yes, a boor a bear!" The cook hesitated. "Last week," said he, "I lost some fine game. True, the weather is cooler now. We might try, M. le comte." The master gave a satisfied nod, and explained: "This is the case: M. le comtesse's uncle has suddenly died. If it were known before Sunday night, my horse could not run. Build an ice chest in the old carriage house and try to pre serve the body. You understand? And now, one word more. You know I am liberal. I' count upon your I silence and that of all my employes." i A complacent smile passed over the i face of the chef as with becoming deference he answered: "M. le comte may feel perfectly easy.

There is little doubt that an im mense number of persons habitually sleep on the left side, and those who do so can never, it is said, be strictly healthy. It is the most prolific cause of nigiitmare, and also of the unpleas ant taste in the mouth on arising in the morning. All food enters and leaves the stomach on the right iide, and hence sleeping- on the left side soon after eating- involves a sort of pumping operation, which is anything but conducive to sound repose. The action of the heart ia also seriously interfered with and the lungs unduly compressed. Hence it is best to cul tivate tiie habit of always sleeping on the right side, althoug-h Saudow and other strong men aro said to in variably sleep on their backs. kas CTCV Al U6 5:3".am A Dally.

"tVHAT ABOCT How the ARCHITECT. the Fore fathers Celebrated Joyous A ntuninal Keaion. A story ia told of the husking-bee deviltry in the pioneer day s of Dexter. CaDtain Small, one of the fir st-corners, after he had grown to the dignity of having a big barn, gave a husning to which a large, merry party gathered. While the suf per was progressing, and the coast was clear, some of the "boys" drove one of the captaia's steers into the barn floor, and, attach ing a rope to him lifted him up over the high beams to the top of the hay mow. They were so spry about it that the joke was not discovered. The steer was missed, of course, and a search of all the surrounding country was made without success. The animal was given up for lost, when one day, a week after the husking-, the captain was in his barn aod heard a long- "moo" up in the ridge pole. Looking up, there was the missing steer gazing- calmly down at him over the high beam. Such was the sport the daddies had iu their young days. Modern huskiii;j are more prosaiti. when he JOSEPH mi i ik 'J ki m. 2. i at m dad .led m Architect anil Superintendent. if A V .s w m Thia ia an AdvernseBient Of Suow's I'iae Kxpectorant, guaranteed cure for coughs, colds and ail bronchial troubles.

None of the remedies hud helped. M. Berard's case was hopeless. M. de Loyaumont sei.ed the physician's arm. "Impossible! My horse runs to morrow, and f can't withdraw him." The; man of science made an impa tient gesture. But M. de Loyaumont was not in a mood to be contradicted, 'auJ saving decidedly: "Your patient must not die doctor." he went to find the; couutess.

Mme. de Loyaumont was as an noyed as her husband, and replied bharply: "Am I not as vexe'd as you about it? I have just received my dres for the races a perfect beauty!" Her selfishness, which surpassed even his own, increased M. de Loyau mont's irritation. lie said: "l believe your toilette is all you care for." "Well, what do yau waul me to do?" Too Much Kcouotur. To economize time is a sensible thing, aud yet there are occasions when it brings trouble, as in the case of a Mr. Johnson. Mr. Johnson's law yer, calling one day, found Mrs. John son alone and walking about in a state of violent excitement. He asked what wa the matter. Her only answer was that her husband was "a villain." After a time, she added, with some hesitation: "Why, I have discovered all the love-letters he sent me were the very same he sent to his first wife."
