Thet«3 I >think that will do, consider­ ing I sever lhad any love for her mother and not much for her father. Aud donning street attire, Mrs. Evans hur­ ried forth «nd deposited her letter in the nearest mail box. Den years before our story opens, Mrs. Evans' only brother, Tom May- field, lived in the same town with his widowed sister whom he offended by marrying a young girl who was penni­ less, although of a sweet disposition and highly cultured. Mrs. Evans seldom noticed her sister-in-iaw, and rarely al­ lowed her children to visit their little cousin .Lillian, a delicate child with the name rare grace and refinement of her 'mother. The child was in every <way superior to Mrs. Evans' two sturdy girls. When Lillian was but 8 years old, Mr. Maytield died of pneu­ monia. The young widow grieved bit­ terly for him, for he had been a noble husband, very unlike his sifter in dis­ position. Indeed people wondered how they could belong to the same family. In a short time Mr«. Maytield removed to Glenmorg, her old home, aud within a year received a fabulous sum of money from an nncfc- who had spent much of his life in South America, but who had succumbed to a fever while on hoard ship. Upon hearing it, Mrs. Evans im­ mediately began overtures of friendship which were quietly ignored by Mrs. Maytield. As the years rolled on it became evident that Mrs. Maytield was slowly dying of consumption. From place to place she traveled with her daughter as companion, hoping that change of air would renew life and vigor, but without avail. She graw rapidly worse and quietly passed away, leaving Lillian at 18 an heiress to a vast amount, but as she pathetic­ ally said, "without father, mother, brother or sister." What she longed for was human affection, not money. So it was that Mrs. Evans'* letter came to her crushed and heart- sore, like a ray of suushine after days of continual rain. A vision of home, and devoted friends who would love her for herself, not for her wealth, arose before her. Those who have spent years in travel oft times yearn for the quiet joys of home. But, despite her youth, Lillian was the possessor of good leaving Mrs. Evans' seemed indifferent as to the direction she pursued. Never looking to the left or right, she walked slowly on. Faint and weak tears of disappointment couraed down her cheeks causing pedestrians to gaze curiously at her. Handsome John Ray coming rapidly behind her as he went to dinner thought "that girl is certainly ill." A moment later he felt convinced of it as she fell in a heap in front of one of the house*. It proved to be John Ray­ mond's own home, and not pausing a moment to eonsider of what genus she might be, be lifted her Blight form in his arms and carried her into the house. In a few words he explained all he knew, and his mother with soft gentle hands applied restoratives until there were t-igns of returning consciousness. Mrs. Raymond was a lady in the true cense of the word, innately refined. She accepted the young lady's story without a word of doubt or question. And she not only gave her a tempo­ rary situation in her own family, bat promised to use her influence among others in her behalf. But to return to Mrs. Evans. To her surprise she received a letter from afj>rominent lawyer in Glenmore. in­ forming her that his ward, Lillian MaytieUjU woufd not accept her invita­ tion. No reason was given But a greater surprise «ras in store for her. A few weeks later she learned that Mrs. Raymond's seamstress was her own lovely niece, who had humbly applied to her for assistance. Soon it became noised abroad that Liilian Maytield was not dependent upon sewing for a livelihood, but con­ trived that way of determining who her true friends were. A year later as John Raymond proudly led his beautiful bride to the altar, many there were who envieti him. The old house on the corner is more in need of repair than ever, but it- is not likely that even a small poi Lillian's estate will be a*ed purpose. The elite of the town are gli elude Mrs. John Raymond among friends, but no one is more warmly welcomed in her beautiful home thai Annie Evans. THE WORLD WILL BE HERE. tinaty-Oss Xsttms Accepted the Invitation ud More Are Coming. Twenty-one nations have now Ac­ cepted invitations to participate in the World's Fair at Chicago, and it is known that many other nations will within the next few weeks signify their inteution to participate. Ther« is much reason to expect a successful World's Exposi­ tion at Chicago with proper manage­ ment. Tj»e fame of the Philadelphia Exposition of 1876 still holds among European manufacturers who reaped rich harvests from their exhibits at that place. There seems to be a general in­ tention among all civilized nations to take part in the Chicago Exposition if it is properly arranged. Only a gross misnee of power on the part of the man­ agement will stand between the Chi­ cago Exposition and success. Many of the exhibits, it is now known, will be of great interest Such enterprises as that ot the fisheries exhibit would attract thousands. Everything that can make such exhibitions attractive will be se­ cured. The government alone will present one of the most important dis­ plays ever seen. The Bureau of Amer­ ican Republics has secured or will se­ cure, one of the most complete collec­ tions of relics in connection with the life work of Columbus. The nucleus of ex­ hibits to be formed at Raleigh, N. C., will be transferred by its managers to Chicago, and will there show what re­ sults the colored race have secured in the last few decades.

One day in Feb­ ruary Dr. White, the black rabbit- hunter of Si. Augustine, went over to the island after rabbits, and came back with a rattlesnake. With pleasant pride he displayod his trophy to the admiring crowd of tourists and negroes. Some one measured the ugly beast. From the tip of its unlovely nose to the button on its musical tail there was an interval of six feet nine and a half inches. As a fiuish there were fifteen rattles and a button. A fine specimen, everybody declared; but Dr. White was doleful. "I gwinelose money on dat ar snake !" he sadly declared. "All I git outen um now am de oil.

I hope she won't be long about coming either, we might as well have the benefit of part of her legacy as not." "Maybe she remembers you of old," suggested Jane, the elder daughter, "and does not care to come." Jane always spoke her mind to every one. "Nonsense," was the angry response, '"she was but a child, besides, I never mistreated her." At that moment the conversation was interrupted by a rap at the door. Annie sprang to open it.

Whether the conduct of tke management has been such as to lend oolor to such suspicions is immaterial in this connection. The main idea is to impress upon those who have charge of the World's Fair is that mistrust and suspicion bare existed in the past and have already stood in the way of success. By a greater publicity and a careful abstinence from anything that can be construed into a "job" the directors may insure that success, but by the least tampering with the land speculations and other "little schemes" which have been cultivated since Chi­ cago was chosen as the site they will wreck not only the Exposition of' 1893 but their own reputation as surely as the sun shines. They should bear that fact in mind now and in the future.-- Boston Advertiser. as the violets at her waist. She was ! tervals some stout sudbeaoa writes its plainly attired in soft black robes, while in her hand was a small satchel. Her face had a worn, tired expression as though she had been losing sleep for several successive nights. "I am in aearoh of work," she said in a clear, pleasant voice, addressing Mrs. Evans. "I would like to get sewing in private families."' Mrs. Evans looked at her from head to foot, but eouVd see nothing amiss with her appearance. In a cold voice she asked, "Can you gwse good recommenda­ tions ?" "This is my first attempt at anything of the kind fiecent circumstances make it necessary for me to apply for the situation. Tsa quite sure, however, my work would suit you." "Do give her a trial," said Annie in a low tone, closely observing her mother's countenance. Coolly and distinctly came the reply: "We do not take strangers into our family." The girl looked strangely disappointed as she turned to go. * Won't you rent a little while? You look tired." It was Annie's voice she heard in genuine sympathy. She hardly thought she cared to' rest in that house, but with a grateful lock, she cast her bunch of violets at her feet and was gone. "You might have taken her, mother," cried Annie petulantly, as she placed the blossoms in water. "You can't tell what sort of thing she is," was the reply. "Why should she go among strangers hunting work? She's a pauper of course." Annie made no reply. She had been well ac­ quainted with her mother's whims for many years, and rarely tried to cross her.

It shows the reckless one gazing dumbly at the pulseless form of the girl.

There are several reasons which mili- 'tate against insuranoe for pensions by our wage earners. One is want of ade­ quate security. No working-man can be sure that a society into which he ••^titers at 21 will be able to fulfill its obligations forty-four years later, when he becomes a claimant for a pension. Nothing but a national guarantee ean give such security. Another reason arises from the migra­ tory habits of our working population, -which render it uncertain whether a man will be able to keep up his connec­ tion with any one society during his whole working life. An insurance sys­ tem of a national character would bet­ ter than any other meet this difficulty. iBut greater hindrance than all is the doubt which arises from the uncertainty of employment. A man may contribute for years, and then, owing to depression in trade or other cause, may be unable to keep up his payments, and so lose both pension and contributions. No system of insurance will provide an ef- •fective means of escape from tho old- age pauperism which does not overcome this difficulty. The plan adopted bv the Germans in their new law is prob­ ably as effective as any that can be de­ sired. Each insurer is provided with a card divided into forty-seven squares; each week, as he makes his weekly payment, a stamp is fixed to one of the squares, as is done with our postoffice savings bank cards. When the whole .forty-seven spaces are filled he has thus .made what is regarded as one year's contribution. He is thus allowed five weeks in every year for holidays and broken time. If out of work, he simply •does not get his squares filled up, and when he oomes to claim his pension, the number of vears during which he has been a contributor is determined by the number of cards he has filled; thus, a period of voluntary or enforced idleness does not deprive him of a pension, but only slightly diminishes the amount he can claim. Nothing but a national sys­ tem can well overcome this difficulty.--< Tke Contemporary Review. Good for tli® Babjr King!

A few Sun­ days ago at one of the weekly dances a; whieh he is the host, a pretty girl of 11 years won his little Spanish heart, and he showed his susceptibility by choos­ ing her repeatedly for a partner.

A Goose With a Wooden Leg, There is a goose in Alpharretta, Ga., that walks around on an artificial leg. The goose met with the misfortune to lose a leg somehow. It hopped when, it travelled, but eould not hop fast enough to keep np with the balance of the geese. Its owner took a joint of case and fitted the leg of the goose in the hollow of the cane, bound it to the leg of the goose with a cord, and cut off the lower end of the oane even with the foot that was not injured. The goose now walks with ease, and seemingly without pain. To HAVE God with us in promise is to faif» Ji*m with us fn reality. •is, • IV.altlTS Merchant men. The trade relations existing am<mg the primitive peoples of this country, prior to the historic period, were ex­ tensive. The principal articles of barter •were copper, flint and stone implements, pipes, shell ornaments, pearls and skins; galena, obsidian, mica and small masses of native gold and silver also formed subjects of merchandise. Be­ tween the coast and the interior a constant interchange of commodities was maintained. The beautiful jasper and flint arrow and spear points, stone pipes, discoidal stones and various articles manu­ factured by the dwellers among tho mountains were readily sold to the coast tribes, who gave in exchange for them shells, pearls and commodities native to their region, and held in es­ teem by those at a distanoe. The primitive merchantmen engaged in this traffic were held in special re­ pute, were generally treated, and had at all times safe conduct through the territories even of those who were at war with each other. From the same stone grave in Na- cooche valley were taken an ornamen­ tal copper ax from the shores of Lake Superior, a large cassis from the Gulf of Mexico, and stoqe weapons made of materials entirely foreign to that lo­ cality. The sepulchral mounds and relic beds contain articles brought from a distance, and frequently the finest specimens are obtained at the farthest removed from the spot whence the ma­ terial used in their manufacture was procured. In this circumstance we traoe the intervention of the merchant-;, man, and his inclination, even at that remote peri >d, to find special favor in the eyes of his customers. This early commerce among the North American Indians is a subject full of interest.-- Saturday Night But Vet a Mother. There are no ties that bind as elose as those of mother-love, and none that oost so dear. An example of this was given a few days ago, in the oase of a mother in this city, who lay on her deathbed. She had given up life and the world, and was sinking peacefully into that sleep which knows no waking, when her little daugb t*r who had been away on a visit re­ turned home, in answer to a telegram. The child was led into the room and stood sobbing at the bedside of her dy ing mother. She had b?en told that she must control herself and she tried bravely to smother her great grief, but when she saw the beloved face so white and still on the pillow, her whole soul was wrought into one great cry: "Oh, mamma, mamma, don't go, mamma! Wait for met" Back to eartb and its sorrows drifted the soul that was almost anchored in Heaven. The pale lips that had been speechless for many hours parted iu re ply. as the words escaped like ghosts of sound: "I--will--wait--for-r-you, darling--I will wait till--you--come." And to give this last recognition, and say these few words of Comfort to her child, the mother suffered the agony of a second death. But it is through these divine mys­ teries of pain that God prepares us for His compensation.--Detroit Free Press. Rheumatism la Three ltca, A three-legged man walked into tlie outdoor relief department of Bellevue Hospital at New York, and astonished a <srowd of medical men. He did not come there to exhibit himself, but for relief tram rheumatism. George Lippert is his name, and as he generally carries one of his legs curled up under a long-tailed coat, a doctor to whom he presented himself smiled incredulously when Lippert said that his pain ranged thronghout all three legs. Pretty soon, though, all tbe doctors were around him, and they .would not let him go un­ til he promised to return to be photo­ graphed. The first leg that he presents for consideration is on tbe left side. This is the least remarkable, being simply the normal leg of any healthy 150-poand man. On the right aide, however, he has accommodations for two ball-and-socket joints. This oppor­ tunity is improved by two legs of equal length. His inner right lsg has oulv two toes, but in recompense the outer right leg has six. Iteejr Are <Gajr Deceivers. A well-known contractor invited a well-known city official to take a cigar and both went to a well-known sample- room, where the contractor called for a well-known brand of whisky. After a little hesitation the official called for the same, and then, to the surprise of the crowd, he left the room with the whisky, went into tbe hall and drank the liquor. "I promised my wife," said he with a wink, "that I would never go into a bar­ room and take a drink, and I intend to keep my word. I always drink out­ side." There is a similar scene in Gas Thomas' "Burglar," where the lawyer removes a ring from his finger and takes "wee nippie" with the remark: "I promised my wife I would never let a drop of liquor touch my lips as long as that ring was on my finger.

The Censns Bureau has made public a bulletin on the subject of the bituminous coal production in Pennsylvania. Ir shows the output of tbe bituminous regions in that State to have been 36,- 174,089 short tons in 1889, nearly double that reported at tbe tenth census. The total value of the output is given as $27,953,215, or an average of 77.2 cents per short ton at the mines, against $18,- 5(57,129 in 1880, or an average of 100.8 cents at the mines. The average num­ ber of persons employed in 1889 was 23,780, against 33,246 for 1880, the amount paid for wages being $21,142,- 051. against $10,863,588 for 1880. The amount of coal manufactured into coke during 1880 was 10,190,588 short tons, or 28.17 per eent of the whole produc­ tion. Altogether the report shows a remarkable increase in the bituminous operations throughout the State. A Mew Exploitive. The new explosive, ecrasite, is the invention of two Austrian engineers named Siersch and Kubih.

It emits a thick black smoke, at'd the detonating noise is londer than that of gunpowder, but shorter, sharper and clearer.

" I have been troubled with what I *' call Sick Headache. A pain comes " in the back part of my head first, " and then soon a general headache "until I become sick and vomit. " At times, too, *1 have a fullness " after eating, a pressure after eating "at the pit of the stomach, ana " sourness, when food seemed to rise " up in my throat and mouth. When " I feel this coming on if I take a "little August Flower it relieve® " me, and is the best remedy I have " ever taken for it. For this reason "I take it and recommend it to " others as a great remedy for Dys~ "pepsia, &c." & G. G. GREEN, Sole Manufacturer, Woodbury, New .jersey, U. 8.
