She opened the door softly, snuffed the air to see if lie smelled of lightning-rods, and then threw it open for him to enter. "Madam I am taking a canvass of the city," he began. - "Ah! sit down," she replied, and *is she began opening his book she con­ tinued: "Thereare five of us in the family, and we paid one hundred down on this place. My husband's name is Peter, his age is forty-two, and he came from a mean family. His father was always having law-suits about dogs, and his mother was th« greatest gossip in El- mira. Have you got that down?" He nodded assent and she continued: "My name is Alvinah Sarah, and I was born in ." "I do not care to know where yon was born, madam," he interrupted. "Well, I care!" she exclaimed; "it makes a great deal of difference whether I was born in Africa or Boston, aad I want it put down. As I was saying, I was born in Boston in 1838 Pat down that I came of a good family." "Madam, you don't understand; yon "Don't I understand that I came of a good family? I'd like to know of a Boston family who carried their noses higher than the Rogerses! Put down that my father was in the Mexican war." "You have three children, .madam!" "I ha vent any such thing, sir! Put down that my mother was killed by an explosion in a quarry. Her father were "How many children have you, madam?' "Have you got mother down?" "No, madam. You see I am taking the census of the city." "Well," she said, giving him a dangerous look, "I had the typhoid fever, at the age of 15, and for weeks and weeks I hung on the edge of the grave. I bore up as well as I was able, and " "Five in the family--how many chil­ dren?" he suddenly asked. " Put down that I broke up," she commanded "And that one night when ^he watchers were asleep I crept out of bed and took a drink of " "This is foreign to the subject, madam. How old are your children?" ' 'Haven t you put down that I hung on the edge of the grave?" "No, madam." ' . ^ "Aren't you going to?" "No, madam. You see, I am simply taking the census of Detroit. I desire to ascertain " "You can't ascertain it here, sir!" she snapped. "If my sickness, which cost over $200, isn't good enough to go in the book, then you don't get a line here!', "Let me ask you----" "No use of asking for any of our photographs, sir! If you get 'em any­ where and put our pictures in that book, we'll make it hot for you! Good day, sir,--good day!" He stood on the step, sighing, and she called through the door: "My grandfather was also bitten to death by an alligator, but I won't give you any of the particulars! You want to walk!" He passed on, sorrowfully wondering if the next woman's mother was blown off a bridge or carried down the river on a hay-stack. Was it A Miracle? "The marvelous cure of Mrs. Rena J. Stout of Consumption has created inten­ se excitement in Cammack, Ind." writes Marion Stuart, a leading druggist of Muncie, Ind.

MI don't take much stock in the theory that the superior tactics til the Boers have been due to their foreign officers," said a confederate veteran in the New Orleans Times-Democrat. "The strategy by which they have out­ witted the British time and ag*ain dur­ ing the present campaign is not book strategy at all. It is the kind of cun­ ning that is developed Jby frontiersmen and pioneers, who learn it from the savages whom they are compelled to fight for existence. In the revolution a great many of our leaders, including Washington himself, were adepts in that variety of warfare, and they rout­ ed the enemy more than once by tactics that upset everything laid down by the authorities. "It seems to me that the entire his­ tory of the Boer campaign shows the handiwork of the hunter and trapper rather than the modern scientific sol­ dier, and whatever credit attaches to thieir successes belongs to the Boers themselves. The foreign experts have no doubt handled the' artillery, but the natives are the fellows who have done the planning and scheming." Waned by a Modklag Btrd. A mocking-bird with military tastes is described by a correspondent of the Daily Chronicle, London, writing from Ladysmith during the siege. He says: "While Puffing Billy was firing I tried to get sight of a small mocking-birdv which has learned to imitate the warnr ing whistle of the sentries. In the Gor­ dons the Hindu Purriboo-Singh, from Benares, stands on a huge heap of sacks under an umbrella all day and screams when he sees the big gun flash. But in the other camps, as I have men­ tioned, a sentry gives warning by blow­ ing a whistle. The mocking-bird now sounds that whistle at all times of the day, and, what is even more perplexing, he is learning to imitate the scream and buzzing of the shell through the air."'

During last May an infant child of our _ neighbor was suffering from cholera in­ fantum. The doctors had given up all hopes of recovery. I took a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diar­ rhoea Remedy to the house, telling them I felt sure it would do good if used ac­ cording to directions. In two days time the child had fully recovered. The child is now vigorous and healthy. I have recommended this remedy fre­ quently and have never known it to fail. MRS.

Men Who have for a long time made a study of the recession of the falls have lately seen evidence of the disintegra­ tion of the rocks. Not only in the close vicinity of the falls is this disintegra­ tion noticeable, but at various points in the gorge between the falls and whirl­ pool, oh the Canadian side, traces of re­ cession are seen. In some places the marks are larger than in others. The Canadian banks below the whirlpool also indicate that the river has widened at some of the curves to a small ̂ -*eSctent. One or two of the small islands near the falls have grown somewhat smaller within the last year and there are strong indications that they may disappear al­ together before many years--Buffalo Express. iVoes Your.
