NOT MUCH OF A STORY- $2,500 Reward for a Lost Cat. The equivalent in English money of $2,500 was once offered by an old lady in London for the return of a favorite cat which had strayed or been stolen. People called her a "crank." and perhaps she was. It is un­ fortunate that one of the gentler sex should ever gain this title, yet many do. It is. however, frequently not their fault. Often functional derangements will apparently change a woman's entire natuie. Don't blaiae such sufferers if they are "cranky," but tell them to use Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, which is an infallible remedy for "female weaknesses." It will soon re­ store them to their normal condition. It is warranted to give satisfaction in A'ery case, P f or money paid for it will be returned. JT , DR.

SCOTT'S EMULSION DOE8 CURB CONSUMPTION In Its First BY VECMA CALDWELL MELVILLE. "Why have I never married?" Well, I am sure I am willing to tell thee, but it is not miich of a story after all. Young folks nowadays would call it a tame matter-of-fact experience I sup pose, and so it was. To begin it right, I must go back to the little farm in the 'Quaker settle­ ment,' as it was called, in Western Pennsylvania. My father and mother were Quakers of the strictest type, and their large l'amilv of children Avere ex­ pected to walk in the same way. They tvere especially strict with us older ones, Nathan, Hepsie aud I. Nathan and father never got on well after the former came of age, but one day when father forbade him the house if he ever knew of his attending Methodist meet­ ing again, Nathan openly rebelled and packing up his clothes, left in earnest. Mother cried a little but said nothing; ehe thought father could not make a mistake or err in judgment. Hepsie and I cried a great deal at night when in bed, but we dare not let iathnr hear us. We knew the reason that Nathan liked attending the Method­ ist meetings for he had told as he thought Dell Crane^--the preacher's daughter--the prettiest girl he had ever seep. "But it will be awful wicked for Nathan to marry one of those dread­ ful Methodists,'" Hepsie would whis­ per under the quilts; but I was not so meek and easily influenced as she, and so would answer, that there might be good people even outside the Quaker church. I think, in looking back, that our family and church there were es­ pecially intolerant of others; but I know that they thought they were right. It was the Easter after Nathan left in the fall, that my bit of romance be­ gan. A woman in the neighborhood, who • was not a chutch member at all, was veJry sick and of course people took turns in nursing her, watching with her aud caring for the family. She was a widow with two little children. Well it happened (if anything does ?'ust happen in the world) that mother lad promised to let me Spend Easter Sunday with her. I did not want to go, but girls in those days never thought of opposing any little plan like that made by their mothers, so I went. I remember just what a crisp, clear morning it was and h(jw I wished as I went along that I were a bird that I might fly out in the world. I never had been twenty-five mile* from home all the nineteen years of my life. Reaching Mrs. Dane's I tidied her and the children, gave them some more breakfast and then cleaned up the room a little. Our folks did not believe in doing much housework on first day, and especially on Easter. It must have' been about church time when, looking out, I saw Dell Crane coming. As I noticed her bright, rosy face surrounded by a fluffy border of pink, I could not wonder at Nathan's admiration, and when she came into the "fcoom smiling and showing such pretty white teeth, I fell in lovo with her my­ self, and I think I almost coveted the bright, dainty thing she called a "hood," as I carefully laid it up on the bureau out of the way of the children. She had come to stav, too, and I think I had never gnicyed a day so 'much before in my life. Sli6 TV*8 * veritable sunbeam, and yet I soon found •Wis " a Christian !n her way. Of course I could £?t forget the teachings of a life time all at once, and so still doubted if a Methodist, or any one else but a Quaker, could be a Christian in the true sense of the word. After dinner Mrs. Dane asked us to sing. I had never been allowed to sing other than one or two doleful hymns-- thee knows the Quakers do net beHdve in music--so of course declined; but Dell drew her chair ©lose to the invalid, and taking one cuild on her lap, burst forth into what folks call nowadays a "regular revival hymn." How sVe did sing! I never had had such & feeling come over me as there did at that min­ ute. Why it seemed as if there was something in my bosom that must es­ cape and fly away, and I could scarcely keep from crying right out. She next sang something softer and sweeter, but not so exciting. Just as she finished that she saw her brother driving up for her. "There!" Rhe said, "I will just get Arch to come in a few minutes, we most always' sing together. I had never met him, and I found myself flushing unaccountably when she in­ troduced us, and I imagined that he looked amused as his bright black eye took in my Quaker costume. They sang several pieces, and noth­ ing I have ever heard since has sounded in any way equal to those grand Meth­ odist hymns, rung forth in that humble home by those young disciples. At parting they both shook my hand and warmly invited me to visit them. There was noth­ ing for n# to do but return theoourtesy, -- r- ; though I inwt« dly trembled as they promised to accept my invitation. * I said that my sister and I did not get out very much since Nathan had gone away. I thought Dell's cheeks grew a good deal rosier at ti^ mention of his name. in less than a fortnight they came over to spend an evening, which was a common custom in those days. Father was most ungracious and mother dare not be otherwise. Poor little Hepsie was? so divided be­ tween her fear of displeasing father and her fear of his offending our guests, that she was as pale as. a sheet and all of a tremble. There was no other way but for me to defy everything and act the part of a cordial hostess, which I did to the best of my ability and to Hepsie's great admiration. But do the best I could the evening passed off painfully. I did not dare to invite them to come again, nor promise to re­ turn this, with father grimly watching me from under the broad brim of his hat. (The men wore their hats in the house as well as out of settlement.) Hepsie cried herself to sleep in my arms that night. The next morning we were requested to drop all associations outside of our own church. Had I been a boy like Nathan, I am sure I would have taken my chances out in the world from that hour--but I was only a girl, and girls were not near so independent then as now. We rarely met the Cranes after that, for our folks kept us in sight most of the time. The Methodists were having a great revival too and that made flhem more unpopular than over among the Qua­ kers. Meanwhile Hepsie aud I were being energetically courted by two young men in our own church. Father favored these youth, and so cf course mother did; but we--well we dare not snub them nor did we care to encourage them, only Hepsie said she supposed father would make us marry them. "Does thee believe in love, Ruth?" she asked pathetically of me once. Of course I do, child," I replied, "and they'll never get me to marry a man that I do not love just because he is a Quaker. I'll leave as Nathan did, first." "Oh, Rnthie! it sounds dreadful for thee to talk so; what would father and mother say ?" It was early in June that* father was taken sick with a low, slow fever, and sound of muffled sob«. Turning in the direction from which they came I spied poor little Hepsie sitting, with her back toward me, on a fallen tree, moaning and crying. 1 was just goiug to speak when she cried out, covering hejr face, "Oh, Archie, Archie!" Waiting for no more I sped back to the house, and without pausing, on home. I understood it *11 now-- Hepeie's languor and absent-mindedness of late, her restless nights, morning headaches, petulance with me at times, and so on. "It will kill m« to give him up," I thought, "and maybe he will not take her after all, but I cannot accept a life's happiness at such a cost to her." Ah well, no use to linger over all this. I told him "no" on the morrow, almost freezing him with my coldness, nor giving any other reason than that I would not have him; t^en I kept away from the cottage. * - 1 ^ ' Dell had a fit of siokoe3s soon after this and I made Hepsie stav there. It all came out right at last, an4 one doors in our J day early iu summer the child came to me, her pale flower-like face flushed, her soft, blue eyes shining and her whole frame in a'tremor. "Oh, Ruthie," she whispered eagerly, "Arch has asked me to--to--" then she hid her blushing face on my shoulder, murmuring, "tp marry him." . "Just as I had expected," I an­ swered. I made her quaint Quaker trossean myself; and tearlessly kissed the weeping bride. They removed at once to New York, from whence the Cranes had come to Pennsylvania. , I had a long, and they said, danger* ous illidess after that; out I was tired out I guess. Arch and Hepsie are both dead now, and Rollin, the boy 1 am educating, thee knows, is their only child. He came to me when he was fourteen. Well, well I have kept thee listening a long while and, as I told thee in the beginning, it is not much of a story after all. _ Did I never learn to love any one else?" No, never! My "Easter love, as I always called it--for I lost my heart at that first meeting--was the one love of mv life. Don't Believe in Lnxurtefc The "Anti-Luxury Union" is the latest freakish organization of Ger many's Socialists. The object of the society is to oppose all extravagances of fashionable life. Three sets of repre­ hensible luxuries have been selected there was no one to se^'to the farm but | for the disapproval of the union. These Jimmie, then only fourteen, so there I are dinners and suppers which have was nothing could be done but write to ! more than three courses, last more than Pittsburgh and see if Nathan would come home. He came, though by so doing he lost a paying position. I shall never forget the look of horror on mothers face as she beheld him dressed in worldly style. When father assailed him about it he replied firmly: "I have given up a good thing to conle here and care for--for thee, (he was going to say "you," but cheeked him­ self) "and now I will not be told what I may wear or how I must Bpeak. I will try and do an hour and a half, or are served with more than one quart of wine per plate; women's high hats, ostrich feathers, false hair, gowns with trains, and in general every gown which oosts more than $25; men's evening dress, white kid gloves, and opera hats. The union is especially bitter against thA prevalent extravagances of parents in rearing their children. Little girls have too many dolls; little boys too many tops, building blocks, and rail­ way train. Both the boys and the girls of fashionable parents are overfed and overdressed, are allowed to go to too as near like I used to as I can, but not many children's parties, and in a hun- one word of interference will I stand, Father groaned and mother cried, but Nathan went off whistling to see about the farm business, and thus the matter dropped. I told him, at the first opportunity, about the call of the Cranes, and he laughed and said he had heard of it. "How?" I asked in surprise. Then he told me that he and Dell had corresponded ever since he went away. The next Sunday morning he dressed himself with great care, and saddling a horse rode off in the direction of the Methodist meetiug-house. Mother looked grieved and drew the blinds so father could not see. Nathan did not return till after the night meeting. Father finally got better of the fever, but the first time he stepped out of doors he took cold and it turned to rheumatism. Now he was helpless and likely to be. * Toward fall Nathan and he had a talk. He wanted Nathan to take the farm and run it for so much; but thought he'd better take it pn the shares. "One thing more, father," he said; "if , I stay here 1 shall |>ut up a little house ! en" in the maple grove and bring a wife to I 8ave it." "A wife!" father gasped. "Yes, I am going to marry Miss Crane, and of course I can not bring her here." There was something of a scene, only Nathan nipped it in the bud by say- ing: "Thee can take thy choice, do without me or accept the woman I have chosen." Dell was a natural born nurse, aiid it j came to pass that in spite of his preju- | dices, father liked to have her run in | dred other ways are taught to sqander the money of their papas foolishly. The members of the union will be ex­ pected to abolish from their families all the luxuries enumerated in the Union's black list, to inculcate in the minds of their children the Union's principles, and to make propaganda for the anti- luxury movement among their friends. Every member of the' Union will wear a little tin tag on his hat, as a sort of mute apology to his acquaintances for the plainness of his dress, house, or table. May They Stop It! If the conflict going on between his Majesty of Dahomey and the French Colonial authorities in West Africa ends in the permanent overthrow of the desspot who holds the lives of all his subjects at the mercy of his whim, it will be a gain for civilization. Thrf horrible sacrifices of luimau beings at the political and religious celebrations, called "grand customs," have long been known, and within the last few years Nathan ' instances of this savagely have been re counted. The superstition of the Daho- mians, who regard their sovereign as divine, makes it hopeless to expect an of these and other atrocities through the application of some exterior force. France, which has steadily pushed its interests in Upper Senegal aud on the Upper Niger, might do a good work by annex­ ing Dahomey, but it is not certain that England and Germany -would consent. They might even, perhaps, prefer let­ ting the ceremonies of immolation go on to allowing anyb ody to annex Dahomey but themselves.

Oh, how glad I was for I loved him with my whole heart, and I was going to tell him yes when something seemed to stop me. "I will answer thee, to-morrow," I said, "thee knows my parents' preju­ dice." He seemed a little surprised and tak­ ing my face between his hands he gazed earnestlv into my eyes. "I guess it will be all right," he said. "They say if in looking into another's eyes you see your image reflected, then that person loves you, and I see mine iu those brown orbs of vours." Some one was coming, and jnmping up I ran out of the room. "Where is Hepsie?"

All women are in feagne against the bachelor--the married women from sym­ pathy with their samarriod. sisters, aad the unmarried from a desire to lessen the number of spinsters. With this league against him, offensive and defensive, the nnmnrried man may find peace in heaven, but he can scarce hope to find happiness on earth--this Bide of marriage. How­ ever. once married, all the bachelor's troubles a re over. He is no longer the subject of terested or designing inten­ tions--exc. t>t the intentions which pro- o.pod from love. True; the bachelor becomes on his mar­ riage, if not an object of commiseration to the knowing ones, an object of compara­ tive indifference to all women but one; bat the superior love of that one atones for all. and his added dignity and com­ pleteness as a man and citizen make him wonder how he previously existed as one- half of a pair of scissors without the other half. p, iris r Spring Medicine t 1 41 * U m neHMt^r with nearly eiwjtody.
