Among the 700 Maccabees of Jan.1,1882, there may have been somewho dreamed of the time when theOrder would namber its 100,000 mem-bers, when it would become a poweramong the fraternal beneficiary organ-izations of the land in their mission ofprotecting the widow and the father-less. This is no longer a dream bat areality. They begin the year 1893with a membership of 99,318, fourthin numerical strengh among the greatorganizations composing the NationalFraternal Congress, and enjoyinggreater prosperity than ever before.The history of this Order has been amost remarkable one, even from thedate of its birth, but the year 1892eclipses all that have gone before, asthe following statement of its businesswill show:

The membership January 1,1S№, was:Supreme Tent, K. 0. T. M »....„_ 24,040Great Camp for Michigan —..«.. -31,112Ladies of the Maccabees ~ .....7,200

Total 62,352The membership January 1, 1898, was:

Supreme Tent K. O. T. II ..39,878Great Camp for Michigan »..^«^......« 46,940Ladies of tbe Maccabees 12,500

Its membership must be composedlargely of young men, as we find theaverage age of the members is about33 years. This is undoubtedly onegreat reason for its low rate of mortal-ity and correspondingly law cost fordeath benefits, and is one of its valua-ble features, one that strongly recom-mends it to all classes.

Its eqaitable plan, careful and con-servative methods, immediate paymentof all just claims, enterprising, yeteconomical management and the zealand ability displayed by its executiveofficers have won for it tbe Command-ing place it occupies today in the es-timation of all who have, become ac-quainted with its work. That it isdestined in the near future to becomethe leading beneficiary order , of thecountry there seems little doubt.—Port Huron Times.

Business Pointer!*

Washington Gardner.

Rev. Washington Gardner, of Al-bion, lectured in the Cong'l churchlast Tuesday evening as was announc-ed, on the lecture coarse. Althoughthe night was very stormy, the chnrohwas well filled with an Attentive audi-ence, who were completely carriedaway with the eloquence of the orator.

Rev. Gardner can picture a battle-field in words so real that.it takes butlittle imagination to hear tbe missiesof death as they fly overhead, see thedestruction, or bear the groans of th»dying. Those wbo beard him will re-member the picture much longer thanif it had been painted on canvas.

99;818

A net gain daring the year of 36,966 members,

Since Jan. 1,1892, there has been anet gain of 674 subordinate branchesof the Order, making the total numberof tents and hives at the present time1,924.

In the Supreme Tent 174 deathclaims have been paid daring the year,amounting to $314,765, and 31 disabil-ity claims, amounting to $6,000.

In the Great Camp for Michigan 198death claims were paid amounting to$295,255.00, and 101 disability claimsamounting to $5,700; while tbe Lad-ies of the Maccabees have paid outduring tbe year for death claims $22,000, making tbe total expendituresduring tbe year for death and disabil-ity claims as follows:Supreme Tent $320,756Great Uamp.... 300,955Ladies of the Maccabees 22,000

Total $£43,711One of the most gratifying results

of the year is, tbat this large amountof money and great number of deathand disability claims have been paidat less expense to the members than inthe year previous, one assessment le.*sbeing called in 1892 than in 1891.The deaths have been less than five toeach one thousand members. This isa very Tow rate for an organization ofits age, and evidences the care takenin tbe selection of members.

The cost to members under 35 yearsof age in the Supreme Tent duringthe past year, exclusive of Tent dues,was $6 for each $1,000 of life benefitscarried; at 45 years it was $9 per $1,000.

In the Great Uamp it was $6 for $1,000 at the age of 35, and $850 at theage of 45.

These figures are less than onefourth what life benefits alone vrouldhave cost in the Old Line Life Insur-ance Companies, while the Maccabeesfurnished disability benefits arisingfrom sickness, injury or old age, inaddition to life benefits, without extracharge—the figures above quoted cov-ering costof all these benefits for theyear. It is little wonder that it hasgrown so rapidly, when it oilers suchadvantages to the people at so low acost.

The total amount of death and disa-bility claims paid by the Order sinceits organization to Jan. 1,189|L* is $1,912,587.75, every claim Wingpaid im-mediately on presentation of* properproofs.

The Order is now established in 29states and provinces, and growingmore rapidly than any other similarsociety of the country, as is shown byits business for December, when it re-ceived over 4,500 applications formembership and organized over 60subordinate branches.

THE MISADVENTURESOF JOHN NICHOLSON.

BT ROBEBT hOVHi STEVENSON.

CHAPTER II—CONTINUED.Ho was a young1 man on whom, at

the highest point of lovely exaltation,there had fallen a blow too sharp tobe supported alone; and not manyhundred yards away hia greatestfriend was sitting at supper; aye, andereu expecting him. Was it not inthe nature of man that he should runthere? He went in quest of sympathy—in quest of that droll article thatwe all suppose ourselves to wantwhen in a strait, and have agreedto oall advice; and he went, besides,with vague but rather splendid ex-pectations of relief. J^lan was rich,or would be so when he came of a#e.Bf a stroke of the pen he mightremedy this misfortune, and avertthat dreaded interview with Mr.Nicholson, from which John nowshrunk in imagination as the handdraws back from tire.

Close under the Calton Hill thereruns a certain narrow avenue, partstreet, part by-road. The head of itfaces the doors of the prison; its taildescends into the sunless slums ofLow Calton. On one hand it is over-hung by the crags of the hill; on theother by an old graveyard. Betweenthese two the roadway runs in atrench, sparsely lighted at night,sparsely frequented by day, andbordered, when it was cleared theplace tombs, by-dingy and ambiguoushouses. One ot these was the house•f Colette*, and at his door our ill-starred John was presently beatingfor admittance. In an evil hour hegratified the inquiries of the contra-band hotel-keeper; in an evil hour hepenetrated into a somewhat unsavoryinterior. Alan, to be sure, was there,seated in a room lighted by noisy gas-jets, beside a dirty tuble-cloth, en-gaged on a coarse meal, and in thecompany of several tipsy members ofthe junior bar. But Alan was notsober; ho had lost a thousandpounds on a horne-race, had receivedvka news at dinner-time, and was now.in default ofany possible means ofextrication, drowning the memory ofhis predicament. He.to help John!The thing was impossible; he couldn'tkelp himself.

"If you have a beast of a father,"said he, "I can toll you I have a bruteof o trustee."

"I'm not going to hear my fathernailed a beast," said John, with abeating heart, feeling that ho riskedthe last sound rivet of the chain th'atbound him to life.

But Alan was quite good-natured,4 All right, old fellow," said he.

'•Mos' respec'ablo man* your father."Aad he introduced his friend to hiscompanions as "old Nicholson, thewhat-cTye-call-um's son."

John sat in dumb agony. Colette'sfoul walls and maculate table linen,and even down to Coletto's villainousoastora-, seemed like objects in amlghtmare. And just then there camea knock and a scurrying; the police,so lamentably absent from the CaltonHill, appeared upon the scene, andthe party, taken flagrante delicto,with their glasses at their elbow,were seized, marched up to the policeoffice, and all duly summoned to ap-pear as witnesses in the subsequentease against the arch-shebeener,Coiotte.

It was a sorrowful and a mightilysobered company that came forthagain. The vague terror of publicopinion weighed gene/ally on themall; but there were private and partic-ular horrors on the minds of individ-uals. Alan stood in dread of histrustee, already sorely tried. One ofthe group was a son of a countryminister, another of a judge; John,the unhappiest of all, had DavidNicholson to father,the idea of facing•whom on such a scandalous subjectwas physically sickening. Theystood awhile consulting under thebuttresses of Saint Giles; thence theyadjourned to the lodgings of one ofthe number in North Castle street,where, for that matter, they might'lave had quite as good a supper^ andfar better drink, than in the danger-ous paradise from which they hadbeen routed. Thore, over an almosttearful glass, they debated their posi-tion. Each explained he had theworld to lose if the affair went on,and he appeared as a witness. It wasremarkable what bright prospectswere just then in the act of openingbefore each of that little company ofyouths, and what pious considerationfor the feelings of their families bo-fan now to well from them. Each,moreover, was lr *\n odd state of des-titution. Not O\Q could bear his

share of the finer not one but evinceda wonderful twinkle of hope thateach of the others (in succession)was the very man wh/> could step into make good the deficit. One took ahigh hand; he could not pay his share;if it went to a trial, he should bolt;he had always felt the English bar tobe his true sphere. Another branchedout into touching details about hisfamily, and was not listened to. John,in the midst of this disorderly compe-tition of poverty and meanness, satstunned, contemplating the mountainbulk of his misfortune.

At last, upon a pledge that eachshould apply to his family with acommon frankness, this conventionof unhappy young asses broke up,went down the common stair, and inthe gray of the spring morning, withthe streets lying dead empty all aboutthem, the lamps burning on into thedaylight in diminished lustre, and thebirds beginning to sound premonitorynotes from the groves of the towngardens, went each his own way, withbowed head and echoing footfall.

The rooks were awake in RandolphCrescent; but the windows lookeddown, discreetly blindud.on the returnof the prodigal. John's pass key was arecent privilege; thin was the firsttime it had been u.sed; and, oh! withwhat a sickening sense of his un-worthines* he now inserted it intothe well-oiled lock and entered thatcitadel of the proprieties! All slept:the gas in the hall had boon leftfaintly burning to light his return; adreadful stillness reigned, broken bythe deep ticking of the eight-dayclock. He put the gas out, and saton a chair in the hall, waiting andcounting the minutes, longing for anyhuman countenance. But when atlast he heard the alarm spring itsrattle in the lower story, and theservants begin to be about, ho in-stantly lost heart and fled to his ownroom, where he threw himself uponthe bed.

In. Which John Enjoys the HarvestHome.

Shortly after breukfu t. at whichhe assisted with a highly tragicalcountenance*, John sought his fatherwhere he sat, presumably in volitionsmeditation ort-the Sabbath mornings.The old gentleman looked up withthat sour, inquisitive expression that'came so near to smiling and was sodifferent in effect.

••This is a time when I do not lik*1

to be disturbed,'1 lie said.•'I know that," returned John, "but

I have—I want—I've made a dreadfulmess of it," he broke out, and turnedto the window.

Mr. Nicholson sat silent for an ap-preciable time, while his unhappy sonsurveyed the poles in the back yree.'),and a certain yellow cat that wasperched upon the wall. Despair satupon John as he jra/ed: and he ragedto think of the dreadful series of hismisdeeds, and the essential'innocencethat lay behind them.

"Weil," said the father-, with anobvious effort, "what is it?"

'•Maclean jjave me four hundredpounds to put in the bank, sir," be-ijfan J'Nhn; "and Tin sorry to say thatI've been robbvd of it!"

'•Robbed of it?" ri-ied Mr., Nichol-son, with a strony rising inflection."Robbed? He careful what you say,John!'

"I can't say anything els«\ sir; 1was just robbed of it," said John, indesperation, sullenly.

"And where and whon did this ex-traordinary event take place?" in-quired the father.

"On the Calton Hill about twelvelast night.:'

•'The Calton Hill?" repeated Mr.Nicholson. "And what were youdoing there at such a time of night?"

"Nothing1, sir," says John.Mr. Nicholson drew in his breath."And how came tho money in your

hands at twelve last night?" he asked,sharply. .

"I neglected that piece of business.''said John, anticipating comment; andthen in his own dialect: "1 clean for-got all about it."

"Well," said his father, "it's amost extraordinary story. Have youcommunicated wHh the police."

"I have," answered poor John, theblood leaping to his face. "Theythink they know the man that did it.I dare say the money will bo rV?-coverod, if'that was all," said ho.with a desperato indifference, whichhis father set down to levity; butwhich sprung* from tho consctousuesaof worsts behind. ^,

••Your mother's watch, too?" askedMr. Nicholson.

"Oh, the watch is all right," criedJohn. "At least, I moan I was com-ing to the watch—the fact is, I amaaharaed to say, I—I had pawned thowatch before. Here is tho ticket;they didn't find that; tho watch canbe redeemed; they don't sell pledges."Tho lad panted out these phrases,one after another, like minute puns;but at the last word, which rang inthat stately chamber liko an oath, hisheart failed him utterly; and the dread-ed silence settled on father and son.

It was broken by Mr. Nicholsonpicking up the pawn ticket: "JohnFroggs, 85 Pleasance," he read, andthfin, turning upon John with a briefflash of passion and disgust, "Who isJohn Frogg's P" he cried.

"Nobody," said John. "It wasjust a name."

"An alias," his father commented."Oh! I think scarcely quite that/1

said the culprit} *4t's » Aorm, theyall do it, the man seemed to under-stand, we had a great deal of funover the nan>y'1 —

He paused at that, for he saw hisfather wince at the picture like a manphysically struck; and again there wassilence.

••I do not think." said Mr. Nichol-son, at last, "that I* a man ungenerousfather. J have never grudged youmoney within reason, for any avow-able purpose; you have just t©come to me and speak: And now Xfind that you have forgotten all de-cency and all natural feeling, andactually pawned — pawned — yourmother's watch. You must have hadsome temptation; 1 will do you thejustice to suppose it was a strong one.What did you want with this money?"

"I would rather not tell you," saidJohn. "It will only make youangry."

"1 will not be fenced with," criedhis father. "There must be an endof disingenuous answers. What didyou want with this money?"

"To lend it to Houston, sir," saysJohn.

"I thought I had forbidden you tospeak to that young man?" asked hisfather.

••Yes, sir," said John, "but I onlymet him."

••Where?" came tho deadly ques-tion.

"hi a billiard room." was thedamning answer. Thus, hadJohn's single departure fromthe truth brought instantpunishment. For no other purposebut to tsee Alan would he have entereda billiard room; but he had de-sired topalliate tho fact of his disobedience,and now it happened that he fre-quented these disreputable hauntsupon his own account.

' Once more Mr. Nicholson digested1 tho vile tidings in silence, and wheni John stole a glanco at his father'sI countenance lie was abashed to see

the marks of suffering.••Well," said the old gentleman at

last, "I cannot pretend not to besimply bowed down. ! rose *vus morn-ing what the world caas iv happy man—happy, at least, in a >on of whom II. thought I could be reasonably

"Dey is a migOuy good temperancesermon in a freight train," s^ys UncleMose. "No matter how much de carsdey gite loaded de ingine w'sit does dework gits along strictly on water."

"So," exclaimed the father to theyoung man who had run oS with hiadaughter and married her and wasreturning to patch up a peace, "so youand that girl eloped together, did you?""Well, yes," responded the younjjfellow in a businesslike tone; "youdidn't think we had eloped apart, didyou?"

Hutfor my part," he cried, bursting into

j tears, "I wish that I'wus deaii!'' andi he fell on his knees before a chair andhid his face. *

i WhetheF"~~h~fs father spoke, andJ whether he remained long in the room,I or at once departed, are points lost toi history. A horrid turmoil of mind| and body; bursting sobs; broken, van*: ishing thoughts, now of indignation,; now of remorse; broken elementary!. whiffs of consciousness, of the smell, of the horse-hair on tho chair bottom;of the. jangling of church bells that

{.now began to make day horrible| throughout the confines of the city;; of the hard floor that bruised his' knees; of the taste of tears that frmrrdtheir way into his mouth; for a periodof time, the duration of which I cannot guess, while J refuse to dwelllonger on its agony, these were thewhole of God's world for John Nichol-son.

When at last, as by the touching ofa spring, he returned again to clear-ness of consciousness and even a meas-ure of composure, the bells had butjust done ringing, and tho Sabbathsilence was still marred by the patterof belated feet. Hy the clock abovetho lire, as well as by these morespeaking signs, the service had not

'. long begun; and the unhappy sinner,if his father had really gone to church,

! might count on near two hours of:j only comparative unhappinoss. With' his father, the superlative degree re-i turned infallibly. He knew it by; every shrinking tiber in his body; he

know it by the sudden dizzy whirlingof his brain, at the m«re thought ofthat calamity. An hour and a half,!>orhaps an hour and three-quarters,

i if the doctor was long-winded, andthen would begin again that activeagony from which, even in tho dullache of the present, he shrank as fromtho bite of fire. He saw, in a vision, |tho family pew, the somnolent'cushions, ttie Bibles, the psalm books, jMaria with her smelling salts, hia |lather sitting spectacled and critical,and/at once ho was struck with in-•donation, not unjustly. It wasinhuman to po off to church, iand leave a sinnor in suspense, un- jpunished; unforgiven. And at the:very touch of criticism, the paternal isanctity was lessened; yet tho pater-nal terror only grew, and the twostrands of feeling pushod him in thosame direction.

THUKSDAY, FEB. 16,189;!.

We received the past week theSuperintendant's report of the

•* Keform School at Lansing. It isa complete report, and all of thework, except binding the books,was done in the printing office ofthe Reform School, by the boyswho are learbing the trade there.

- • •

The secret of success in life isto keep busy, to be persevering,patient and untirirg in the pur-suit or calling you are following.The busy ones may now andthen make mistakes, but.it is bet-ter to risk these than to be idleand inactive. Keep doing, wheth-er it be at work or seeking recrea-tion. Mdtion.is life, and the busyones are the happiest. Cheerful,active labor is a blessing. An oldphilosopher says: "The firo-fiy.on-ly shines when on the wing; so itis with the mind; when once werest, we darken."

The oddest journal in the me-tropolis is the so-called newspaperpublished by the Mongolians ofMott street. It is written \vith aearners hair pencil upou re mil-lion paper, and is pasted npon thewall of No. 16 of that thorough-fare, and on the two telegraphpoles which stand between Chatn-am Square and Fell street. Allday long it is read and studied byalmond-eyed crowds. Even inthe evening a belated lauudrymancen be seen running his eyes overits tea-chest characters. The ed-itors are called scribes, and writeat the order of their customers,charging a good figure for theirskill and brush. The favorite ed-itor is said to make as high as $-0a day but, beyond his editorialwork, he writes cards ard prayer-tickets for his customers.

One feature of this journal incommendable. If one of theirmembers is thrown out of employ-ment, he puts up a notice to thateffect, and every other memberassists him.—Ex.

Someihing- New.

We have heard of all sorts ofcatalogues, but a Poetical cata-logue is something entirely new.In reading Vick's Floral Guidefor 1803, on every page one comesacross happy and appropriatequotation from prominent authors.Whether it takes the mind off ofthe work of making out ar list offlowers and vegetables, or makesthe Guide more iacsinating, willhave to be decided after a trial bythe publishers, James Vick's Sons,Rochester, N. Y. Another novelfeature is the family of pansy sail-ors who appear on the cover andthrough the book. It containsfive colored plates, hundreds of il-lusciations and lists, with descrip-tions of everything required inthe garden. This work is reallygiven free, as the 10 cents askedfor it may be (deducted from thefirst order sent the house.

The Reform School.

The perusal of the ReformSchool report is, very interesting,8tttHays bare many facts to whichthe people are blind to-day. Manyparents do not know, and more,do not seem to care, where theirboys spend their evenings. A fewdollars spent in good books (andthey can be secured now at a verylow price) will save many a moth-er an aching heart and many arestless hour. We take the fol-lowing from the report: /

"To a youth accustomed to theatmosphere of prisons and thehaunts of (Jebauchery which leadto them the foolish discourses of j

a drunken man is more attractivethan the religious instruction of aminister: profanity sounds bette rin his ears than the precepts pfthe gospel; the cup of intoxicationhas more charm for him than theunexciting drink of the BeformSchool; a lazy, idle, dissolute lifeis more agreeable than daily labor;and instruction in evil received ingrog-shops and gambling-saloons,are listeued to with more aviditythan are those of the school-mas-ter and chaplain.'1

The Superiutendant says:"Many of the boys admitted,

according to the testimony of theofficers, the parents, and the boysthemselves,have not been undera healthful parental restraint.

"Neglect, cver-indulgence, un-happy martial re'ations, drunken-ness, and in many cases positivewillfulness on the part of thechild, have opened the door forthese delinquencies, and onceopened it has been beyond thepower of the parent or guardianto close it.

"The boy liecame master of thesituation, and follows the inclina-tion of his own mind, or falls intotho hands of-tlie erafiy ami moreexperienced criminal. He soonbecomes an ndept in the ways ofvice, or fulls into the power of tilelaw. In nntiiy cases the surround-ings of tho home tended to pro-duce the rirst impulses to error,and fostered mid matured thosecviniiiml nets which make bothparent and child amendable."

Bronchitis•'When I was a l>i».v, 1 had a bronchial

trouble of »uch a pursJKtont and stub-born character, that the doctor pro*nounced it incurable with ordinaryremedies, but recommended me to tryAyer'n Cherry Pectoral. I did «o,audone bottle cured me. For the last fifteenyears, I have used this preparation withgood effect whenever I take a bad cold,and I know of numbers of people whokeep it in the house all the time, notconsidering it safe to be without it."—J. C. Woodson, p. M., Forest Hill.W.Va.

Cough"For more than twenty-five yearn, 1

was a sufferer frcm lung trouble, at-tended with coughing HO severe at timesas to cause hemorrhage, the paroxysmsfrequently lasting three or four hours.1 WHS induced to try Ayer's Cherry Pec-toral, nml after taking four bottles, wasthoroughly cured." —Franz Hoffman,Clay Centre, Kaus.

La Grippe"Last spring I was taken down with

la grippe. At times I was completelyprostrated, and so difficult was mybreathing tliut my breast seemed as ifconfined in an iron en%e.

HOWELL MICH.

Washington, TVb. 1«, 18f.):\With tho firing of biij ^nns tnul

to i,ho music of silver and goldtrumpets the silver and the auti-silver army marched up the hill,and then marched down again.Congress has this week been inone respect like the snide travel-ing show, it failed to keep the glit-tering advance promises it hadmade on the bill-boards, and inspite of the liberal use of threats,promises and persuasion, nothing'was done, and the silver law still,occupies its place on the statutebooks.

Senator-elect Martin was inWashington this week, but as hehad some important business inNew York which may Keep himthere ten days or longer, he con-cluded, after consultation withSenator Peffer and other friends,not to present his credentials asthe successor of Senator Perkins,to fill out the term of the late Sen-ator Plumb. There are two rea-sons why his credentials may notbe presented until the closinghours of this session and possiblynot until the extra session meets.First, there are a number of billspending in which Kansas is inter-ested, that for opening the Chero-kee strip ninong them, and Sena-tor Perkins can render more effec-tive service than a new man, un-familiar with Senate proceedings,and lastly there is a doubt as towhether the republican majorityof the present Senate would allowhim to take his seat, while thereis none about the action of'theSenate after the 4th of March.

Representative Bryan, of Ne-braska, says of M. V. Allen, thenewly-elected populist Senatorfrom that state: "He is now uponthe bench, having been elected adistrict judge by the populists.He is regarded as a safe and ableman. He was formerly a republi-can, but as the democrats in thelegislature joined with the popu-lists in electing him, I take it forgranted that he will act with the jdemocrats in the organization of;the Senate and upon the tariff.1'

The opponents of the anti-op-tion bill say that it is dead, andcan never get through the House.It is just as well, however, not tobe too sure about this, as theseare the same people who said be- •fore the bill was passed by theSenate that a vote could not bereached on it before the -A of Mar.It is human nature to see futurehappenings'as you wish them."'

Lack of time may prevent theHouse committee that is invest-igating tho expenditures of thePanama canal company in the U. iS., getting to the bottom of things.It is already clear that an enor-mous amount of money was spentin this country, some think asmuch as £25,000,000, and thatmuch of it was spent for the pur-pose of influencing public opinionwhich was at one time inclined tobe very unfavorable to the Canal,but the receivers of the money areyet to be uncovered. XA credenceis given here to the- rumor thatmembers of the committee arepurposely killing time so thatnothing would be found out.

The House Appropriations com-mittee has agreed to amendmentsto the pension appropriation billproviding for a transfer of thePension office to the War Dept,and the detail of Army offices tomanage it; also for the suspensionof all pensions paid to men havingan annual income of $600 or more,to widows who married since 1870,and except foi total disabilities, tonon-resident aliens. - Chairman

Holmau voted with the republic]can's agaiust these amendments. J

No 'disputes of any kind oc-curred Wednesday when the Sen-ato and Hou3e held a joint sessiona:xl counted the electoral votes.The official announcement of theresult was rather too chestnuttyto create anything like a sensation.

Tlie Quarantine bill is now inthe hands of President Harrison,and will probably be a law by thetime this is printed. It passed theHouse without serious opposition,just as it. originally passed theSenate. The country may nowrest assured that if the choleragets into the United States thisyear, it will not ba for the lack oflegal authority to take the neces-sary precautions against it. Thisbill furnishes another example ofthe fact, sometimes forgotten,'thatthe will of the people, when ex-pressed, is always stronger thanthe will of politicians.

If the democrats in Congresswho are generally credited withenjoying Mr. Cleveland's confi-dence know what they are talkingabout, an early extra session of theFifty-third Congress is now a cer-tainty. There are, however, stillsome doubters. RepresentativeAbbott, of Texas, is one of them.He says, "There is no danger ofan extra session, for Mr. Clevelandhas too much sagacity to call Con-gress together to try to accomplishthe repeal of the silver law, withall the chances against such re-peal." But Mr. Abbott is in theminority.

Negotiations for the annexationof Hawaii are now going on, butthe result is not yet in sight.

.Which party represents freetrade, and which protection? Thequestion seems to b3 pertinentwhen all of! the republican mem-bers of the House committee onways and means vote iti^favor of'abill to put all works of art on thefree list, and with two exceptionsall of the democratic members'

A i*alr of Bohemian Girls Joinednether In On* Body—They Armteen Years Old and VeryDelicate.

GEORGE DO MAUKIF.R, the artist,thinks he has made the discoverythat "women are growing broader,latter and more generally healthy.11

Be are the hats they wear to thetheater, we are told, and so will theirdraperies do anon when crinoline re-turns. ^

AN Oakland girl has set a pleasantpattern by shooting at a man who re-fused to wear with becoming resigna-tion the mitten she had bestowed up-on him. This is much better thanallowing herself to become a target,and the man, after acquittal on theplea of insanity, to marry some othergirl. -

A HANDSOME Nebraska woman hasbeen [sentenced to the penitentiaryfor four years, she having confessedto the killing of a prominent citizen.The evidence showed that the de-ceased only got what he deserved,and the inference that the handsomeyoung1 woman is suffering for nothaving shot quicker is fair.

MAKING due allowance for the rav-ages of thirty years on the memoryand the natural tendency of thehuman mind toward embellishment,the average veteran can tell a prettyloud army story; but he isn't amarker to the average young manborn since the war. when he getsfairly started on his army rem-iniscences.

IN the new role of jack-in-the-box,with the British cabinet pulling thestring, the khedive will be one of themost amusing little potentates onearth. If the land of the Phariohscannot respect its sovereign it musthave the satisfaction of knowing thatIt need not fear him, in which respectit is more fortunate than sonic of itslarger acquaintances.

CANADA is likely to find commercialdiscrimination against the TintedStates an unprofitable policy. Double-dealing and unfairness do not pay inthe long run. It was the distinctunderstanding of our government thatIn the~conference of the dominioncommissioners and our state depart-ment the former pledged the Ottawagovernment to the removal of thecanal tolls.

No LONG EH shall we be able togauge the depth of bereavement bythe length of a mourner's crape if theprincess of Wales is to be the arbiter.She positively declines to wear crapefor her deceased son, and good sensefrom Dublin to Bombay will endorseher decision. Sorrow can never boexpressed by mechanical devices normeasured by the length or durationof the mourning goods. f

"the medical folk all[ o v e r t h e worldi couldn't rest easy

nights tor thinkingup plans whereby

they might cut the ligament whichbound Eng and Chang so that thetwins might be just like anybody elseand lose their job. Hut in the case ofthe Bohemian twins, Rosa and JosephaBlazel, nature seems to have made upher mind that there was going to bet>o such, foolishness. The smartestBurgeon that ever handled a scalpelcouldn't cut Rosa and Joseuha apartwithout killing them or her. Downto the hips they are two separatebodies. Below the hips there are fourlegs, which would be the proper allow-ance for two ordinary girls. But thereis only one woman, and that is whatmakes it doubtful whether it is properto call Rosa and Josepha "her" or"them."

They were born in Skreychow, Bo-hemia, and are now 15 years old. Theirparents, simple country folk, gavethem over to a French impressario,which is the European equivalent forour dime-muse am manager, named jForbe, who first brought them out inParis at the Theater Imperial de laGaiete and is now taking them through jEurope on a tour.

THE rusty ribs of the dead crino-line rattle ominously in the grave.It is feared that they are about to bep«t in flesh, and stalk in circumam-bient horror across two continentsthat had been :onsidered partly civ-ilized.

IT had been hoped that the worldhad progressed beyond the "Not-guilty-but-don't-do-it-again" style ofverdict, but this hope has flown. AChicago galaxy of acumen scared itoff the perch. The verdict at an inquest there was practically that theperson whose tonantless clay had beenviewed had died from causes un-known, but that the druggist who•old the poison better go out of busi-ness.

Thetemple, with a palm growing out ofthe solid stone roof (a curiosity whichis of itself a-'wonder of the Orient) issupposed to mark the last resting placeof the first wdman, According toArabian tradition Eve measured overtwo hundred* feet in height, which6trangely coincides with an account ofour first parents written by a memberof the French Academy of Sciences afew years ago, who also claimed aheight of over two hundred feet forboth of the tenants of the Garden ofEden.

Eve's tomb, which is in a graveyardlurrounded with high, white walls,»nd which has* not been opened for asingle interment for over a thousandpears, 1R the shrine of Thousands of de-roted Ishmaelites, who, according toNotes and Queries, make a pilgrimagelo the spot once every seven years. It(s hemmed in on all sides by the tombsj»f departed sheiks and other worthiestvho have lived out thfir days in thatregion of scorching sun and burningsands. Once each year,, on June 3—which is according to Arabian legends,the anniversary of the death of Abel—the Upon of the temple, which form aCanopy over this supposed to en b of ourIpst mother, remain open all night, inipite of the keepers' efforts" to close•hem. Terrible cries of anguish arelaid to emit from them, as though theciemory of the first known tragedyitill haunted tlie remains which blind%nperstitio» believes to be depositorfeere.

Th« United State* Minuter* at HoaoluluEstablishes a Proteetontte.

The steamer Australia has arrived atSan Francisco and brings the goodnews of the action of United StatesMinister Stevens in entablising a pro-tectorate over the inland, by issuingthe following proclamation;

UXITKD STATUS LKOATIOJV,February l, 1893.

To the Hawaiian people: At the re-quest of the provisional government oiHawaiian Islands, I hereby, in the nameof the United States of America, us-&ume protection of the Hawaiian Is-land for the protection of the life andproperty and occupation of publicbuildings and Hawaiian soil, so far aapay be necessary for the purpose spec-ified, but not interfering with the ad-ministration of public affairs by theprovisional government. This uctionis taken pending, and subject to ne-gotiations at \Vashington.

(Signed.) JOHN G. STKVKNS,*Envoy Extraordinary and Minister

Plenipotentiary of the United States.Approved and executed by G. 0.

Wilts, captain U. S. N., commandingthe United States steamer lioston.

Capt. Wilts repaired to the govern-ment building aud a few moments latera ba tall ion from tho United States shiplioston under Lieut. Swinburn, marchedup the street, entered the grounds anddrew up in front of the building? De-tachments from three volunteer com-panies, A., li. and (.'., were drawn upin line under command of their re-spective captains, Seigler, Guun andCanara. Lieut. Rush read in a loudvoice the proclamation, and amid thebreathless expectancy of all presentthe American flag saluted by the troops [and the cannon of the lioston was .raised over the tower of Aliolani (theroyal) hall.

Notes From Honolulu.The British minister has recognized

the new provisional government.The executive and advisory councils

of the new government formed a newlegislature and repealed the lotteryfranchise act.

Queen Lilioukalani lias spent mostof her time outside of Honolulu but ischarged with returning at intervals toconsult Kahunas in the houses of someof her royal adherents.

News has been received of the deathby drowning.at Hawaii of Miss Stevens,the eldest doughter of the Americanminister resident. The flags on all theconsulates were put at half mast.

Martial law still exists and althoughtheie are no hardships reported yet thepeople, both native and foreign, chafeunder the continued presence of armedmen in the streets, bvtt the usual quietudeprevails. The lioston marines andsailors are paraded through the streetsseveral times daily, but no open aversecomment is made to their presence.

The following is the form of oath forall residents desiring to am'rm alle-giance to the provisional government:"I do solemnly swear, in the presenceof Almighty Uoii, that I will supportthe provisional government of theHawaiian Islam's promulgated andproclaimed on the 17th day of January,1S<*3. Not hereby renouncing, but ex-prossly reserving all allegiance to anyforeign country now owing by me."

tablished an equilibrium of pressures.There wouLd be a point at which theupward pressure of the stream wouldexactly balance the gravity pressureof the bowlder, holding it, the half-ton rock, there suspended.

As to cutting these streams, Pro-fessor Christy says that he has oftentried to drive a crowbar into one ofthem. The stream felt as solid as abar of iron, and although he couldfeel the point of the crowbar enter thewater for perhaps half an inch, thebar was thrown forward with suchforce that it was almost impossible toretain it in the grasp. An ax swungby the most powerful man alive couldnot penetrate the stream, yet it mightbe cut by the finger of a "child if achild were seated on a railway trainmoving parallel with the stream inthe same direction and with the samevelocity. That velocity would beconsiderably more than a mile a min-ute.

Justice Bradley, of the supremecourt, has also tried his intellect uponthe mathematics of the problem sub-mitted by Judge Field. He deliversthis opinion: "I can well believe allyou say with regard to the tremend-ous force of streams issuing from thepipes of the miners under a largehead of water. Of course they wouldproduce instant death if directedagainst a man standing near, andwould probably cut his body in two."

EUY'8 QATARBHCREAM BALM

Redtteld Finds It inSeptember Gale.

In the year 1821 a severe stormprevailed along the Eastern coast,which for many years was known asthe "great September gale." It heldthat title until September, 1869,whenanother and more remarkable one oc-curred, which rather disturbed itaclaim to tho honor. It was a littletime after the first storm that Wil-liam (J. ltediield, the meteorologist,while making a journey in Massa-chusetts, was struck by a curiousfact, says the Popular Science Month-ly. He noticed that in Massachusettsthat the trees prostrated by thewind all lay with their heads to thesoutheast, showing that the galethere was from the northwest, but inConnecticut the trees blown down bythe same storm lay head to the north-west, showing that the gale had beena southeast one.

He ascertained, moreover, thatwhen the wind was blowing south-east in Middlotown, his home, it wasnorthwest at a place not seventymiles from there. It was then thatthe idea flashed across his rnin-d thatthe gale was a progressive whirlwind.That was a great thought. It wasa flash of perception as came to New-ton when he connected the falling ap-ple with the planets in space. It wassuch an insight into the meaning of afact as James Watt had when he sawthe possibilities of tho force that wasrattling the lid of the kettle on hismother's fire.

The development of 1hat idea wasdestined to put Kedtield in the ranksof the great Scientific thinkers of thisday. He made this storm the basisof his investigations, following his re-searches into its movements, by acareful collection of facts in relationto others like it. For ton years hestudied and examinod and comparedfacts before he published his theory ofstorms.

At the Mercy of the "Wind*.Captain. Perkes, of the steamship

Loosok, voyaging between Hongkongand Shanghai, witnessed during therecent gales in that quarter the phe-nomenon (which has often been des-cribed) of thousands of birds and in-socts which had got in tho vortex oftho storm and were driven hither andthither,apparently stunned and sense-less with the buffeting they had re-ceived. Many of the birds fell sense-less on the deck and lay quite still,whilo the insects, though alive seemedto have lost the power to sting.
