ing tne heated term among the moan
tains or at the seashore will make it a
point to return (or the touraament of
the Carbondale Tennis club, which
will be beld at Farfiew park beginning
Thursday, August 10. The tourna
ments in years past have been highly
successful and a great soclnl drawing
card nnd this year will be no excep
tion, judging from the preparations
which Imre been made nnd tbe prob
ability that galaxy of cracks will
contest.
The chbf eveut will be tbe match
for tbe "Dolaware and Hudson Chiil
lenge Cup" between tbe winner of this
fear's tournament and II. Torrance,
r., of Tenalflr, N. J., who won the
onpin '93. W. V. Johnson, of Orange,
N. J., held the trophy tbe previous
year. It is of sterling silver, ten lashes
high and is to be beld by successive
winners until beld three tiuus, not
necessiirily consecutively, when it be
comes bis property.
The events will be confined to
gentlemen, singles and doubles, and
are open to all comers. First nnd
second prizes in tbe singles and a first
prize in the doubles will be awarded,
best two in three, except in tbe filial,
when Ust three out of five will be

tournament committee.
Tbe Carbondale tourney will be fol
lowed by the Scrsnton Lawu club's
tournament either the last week in
August or the first week of September.
An effort will be made to have the
tonrney cover a period of two days
and to induce players from abroad to
enter. I' 1 to be hoped tbat tne
Scrantoa elnb will not exclude mixed
doubles and certainly sot ladies' sin
gles, as is tbe case in the present ar
rangement at tbe Carbordule tonrney.
There are many expert lady wlelders of
the racquet who can take the best men
players into camp very '' indilv, and

the gentler sex, who uu reaily tbe
mainstays of tbe game, is a mystery.

At Inst the fate of the Welsh disestab
lishment bill has been decided. It ia to be
postponed to theuext sestion. wheu it will
be the first order. But in the meautitne
what may happen? Thj Llberuls have n
ricketty majority and a sudden dissolution
may occur, und one can safely prophesy
that RoBebury will out, owing to uiauy
good reasons, lend his party to victory on
this occasion. The Conservatives will be
in power and will remaiu as long as they
can. and the Welsh disestublisutuout bill
will be shelved. Impartial men declare
tbnt another decade will pass before the
bill is law. If so, tbe churcu will hv,i a
glorious opportunity to gather strength
before the tlnal struggle.
The following extract from the speech
of the venerable Archdeacon Howell at
the Carnarvon eisteddlod is a gem and of
interest to tbe American Welshmeu.
Speaking ot the bards present be said:
"Then they had Uwfa Mou, onu of the
chief aweuyddlon ot the world, whom
English people oftn styled Mr. II ilf-a-Moon-loud
and prolonged luubter
but there never was a greater inutake. co
far from b.dug a m ion, their H .vfa wus a
great sun iu its lull meridian. Cheers.
Clwydlardd. their patriarchal arcLdruid,
wus also there, tbe old Aietbusdnh ot tne
eisteddfod, aud long uiubt he live
again to dely time and death. He
would bye-and-bye at the Gorsedd
wield the sword, but ere long ho would be
carry lug apalin, and instead of keeping u
Gorsedd throue here lie would Boou have
a Gorsedd for liimsulf, and br crowuod
with tbe crown of everla-uing life. Loud
and prolonged cheers. It was one of the
charms of the eisteddfod that it brought
together th eminent men ot tbe uatiou
without doing violence either to their judg
ment or comciense. InEigiand tin men
ot eminence were iu politicians, its
warriors, its scientists, and its men of com
merce, but the eminent men of G walla were
her bards, her men ot letters, ber musi
cians, her hymn-writers, and her preachers.
Cheers. The walls oi their bumble cottages
throughout the bills and dales of tbe coun
try were adorned, not with pictures of
horse racing and pugilistic encounters, but
with portraits of the giants of the Welsh
pulpit, the beroes of the Gospel, tbe war
riors of the Cross, and tbe messengers of
peace, and glory to Uod tbat this was so.
Loud aud prolonged cheers. It was said
of them as a uatiou that they were gettlug
daily more bot-heated in tboir politics, and
that their representatives iu parliament
were getting more noisy even than the
Irish members. Loud laughter. Well,
tbey could forgive them, for it was evi
dently a case of evil couiinuuicatious cor
rupting good manners.
t
The great outburst of loyalty at Carnar
von would no doubt surprise many Ameri
cans who are apt to look upon Wales as the
teaching aud forward hoction in politics.
There is no doubt that if a systematic de
mand was made for a republican govern
ment Wales would be fouud foremost, but
nothing of the kind will occur during tbe
reign of tbat illustrious sovereign. Queen
Victoria, who has been a model wife aud
an affectionate mother aud queen and
woman above reproach.
But tbe escapades of tbe prince have not
been forgotten, Ho presents the picture
ot an old man in the perennial days of
youth, and his baccarat performance at
Tranby Croft was not only disgusting as a
man of high position, but a disgraceful
tarnish upon tbe records of an embryo
king whose previous diaries would not bear
tbe light ot day.
Welshmen are down upon such sicken
ing sights aud kick against supporting a
man whose chief energies seem to be de
voted in gottiug into dishonorable scrapes.
The great popularity ot the priucesa is ber
strong bulwark and tbe wisest course for
the prince wi.uld be to abdicate favor of
bis son, the Duke of York. It would be a
cruel disappointment for tbe Princess of
Wales, hut the welfare of a nation is
paramount to tbe interests of one woinau,
however ennobled and good her life may
be.

Welshmen would be charmed with the
duke aud duchess as their prince and
princess, and if this step were taken the
days of republic an is in would for many
years be outside "the regiou of practical
politics." OWEN.

SAVE THE BABY !
The White Hearse with Its
Tiny Casket.
Infants Are Fast Dying of
Cholera Infantum.
How the Dread Disease
May Be Prevented.
Lactated Food the Best Diet
in July.
Mothers and Physicians
Becommjnd It.
One can hardly take a walk these
days, Bays the Boston Globe, without
encountering a fuueral.
Half the deaths in July are those of
children under 5 years. Year in nnd
year out a third of all who die are in
fants. The effect of the summer heat upon
the health of the baby is rearml.
Yet the Intestinal disturbances,
which are attributed to the weather,
actually arise from errors iu diet, from
luck of absolute purity iu food per
fectly preveutuble causes.
"If all the babies were fed on a diet
sufllciently nutritious and absolutely
pure," says a member of the board of
health, "there would be no such thing
as cholera infantum." The weekly re
turns which physicians are obliged by
law to make at this ofliee show no in
fant deaths from summer diarrhoea
anions babies who have been fed on a
diet of pure lactated food.
Healthy mother's milk is unequnled,
but the mothers who are capable of
nursing their children throughout the
entire uummer are rare, not only in
Boston, New York and the other cities,
but also in the country. When this
uatural food is insufficient, or the
mother not well, or when recourse
must be had to cow's milk, without
personal knowledge of its fitness for
the baby, trouble occurs. When the
breast milk is Insufficient the baby
should be put at once upon lactated
food.
Mothers of large families, and physi
cians of experience everywhere, Bay
that for perfect security against sum
mer complaints, cholera infantum aud
intestinal disorders, there is one diet,
that never fails: Feed the baby on
lactated food during the hot months,
attend carefully to its regular feeding,
and keep all dishes clean and thor
oughly scalded.
Mothers may in this way dismiss all
anxiety, as lactated food itself is free
from auy possibility of contagion, and
will nourish the little ones as nothing
else can.
Thousands of infants whose mothers
have been sickly have thrived and
grown to be strong children upon lac
tated food, which is as pure and healthy
as the air among the Vermont hills
where it is made.
Many a mother, too, has been
strengthened by using it.
The principal element of mother's
milk issugarof milk. This is the basis
of lactated food. With it is combined
the nutritious elements of the' great
cereals, wheat, oats and barley, so pre
pared as to be readily digested and as
similated. The addition of the salts
found iu mothers' milk makes lactated
food a perfect substitute.
Many mothers iind that nothing
else agrees with their children.
Lactated food works marvels with
little ones who are puny and pnle.
A week or two suffices to show its
splendid effect in brighter eyes, fairer
skin, livelier manner aud a steady gain
in weight.
Lactated food saves babies' lives. It
is the surest preventive in the world
of cholera infantum. It is within
everyone's reach, and is bo Inexpensive
that no mother ever had a real excuse
for not using it.

A momentary expression of resistance

"I love Edgar Popham," continued the

HIS REVENGE.
They were sitting apart There was a
frown op Peter's face, but his eyes hod a
pleading look in them, while pretty Sclma
was smiling and glanced roguishly through
her drooping lashes.
Peter and Sclma wore lover and had
been such from earliest ohlldhood. Of
courso they had had their little quarrels,
but whenever Selma chose to bestow a
glance and a smllo upon Peter ho had al
ways been ready to come to her side and
suo for pardon.
Selmrf know her power. Pctor had been
the slavo of her will whenever sho assorted
it, and of late sho had been very ready to
put her influence over him to tho severest
tests. IIo had tried to rebel, but in the
end she had conquered, as usuul, and In
spite of himself he hud found that ho was
powerless to roslst tho wayward whims hor
funcy wovo to annoy and try him.
Tho sun was setting. Through the tops
of tho tall pines tho ruys sifted their gold
upon tho ground at Sclma's feet, where
sho sat on an old driftwood log on tho
bunk of tho river. Tho ferryboat was tug
ging gently at its moorings as tho water
flowed along and formed a little eddy just
below it. The wind seemed to have gono
to sleep, and tho trees stood with uninov
lng brunches, as If listening and longing
for his waking nguln.
Peter wus the ferrymnn. His littlo homo
nestled under tho tall pines on tho bluff
above the ferry landing. It was not a pre
tentious homo, but ho had tried to muko
it as cozy and comfortablo us his means
would allow, and Sclma's tusto had ofton
boon consulted. Now, however, a cloud
hud risen between them, a dark cloud that
would soon bring a storm of ruin and des
olation behind it for ono of them.
"I will not endure this playing fast and
looso with my feelings any longer," said
Pctor, rising to his feet. "If you love uie,
Sclma, you will not flirt with this stranger
any more. "
"I never sought Mr. Windom," Selma
replied. "Ho always comes to me, and ho
novor quarrels with mo."
"That inny be true, Selma, but he docs
not love you llko I do no man over did
or will and I often feci as if I could kill
him with one strong blow when I see you
together."
Uo stood thcro, a giant almost in stature
and strength, his oyes Dashing with anger,
as Selma had novor seen them before. She
could not help admiring him and folt
proud of her power to inspire him with
such passion.
There was no doubt in her heart that
sho loved Peter, and she felt ho would
willingly give his lifo for her If sho only,
spoke tho word. But thuro was a growing
waywardness in her nature, and even
now, whon sho longed to throw herself
into his arms, that very waywardness mudo
her turn to him with mocking words on
her lips.
''You should put a guard on your
tongue, or it will got you into troublo
sooner or later," sho said. "As it is, I
am tired of quarreling with you and don't
want to have anything moro to do with
you. What would tho future hold for me
anyway living penned up thore in that
littlo coop on the blufff" pointing her fin
ger in scorn at tho little home Peter had
made ready to recelvo her souio day In the
future.
Peter stood watching hor hungrily, his
eyes bent upon hor iu silent questioning,
but she did not relent, she did not smilo,
she did not bid him corao to her side. In
stead, sho turned slowljand walked away
from him.
"Sclma!" he cried, but sho did not seem
to hear him. Her feet never wavered as
she wended hor way from the river up tho
bluff to whero tho last ruys of tho setting
sun still lingered, leaving him in the
shudows bolow.
Day after day Peter kept closely at hla
work, brooding over his loss. There were
times when ho told Himself Selma would
return to him, but sho never came, and a
bitter hate against the man who had
stolen his love away from him was kin
dled in his heart.
"I will kill him!" he cried. "I will go
tonight and find him and choke tho life
out of him!"
But he lingered on and on by the river,
hoping against hopo that Selma would yet
return to him. Then hope died away alto
gether, and hate alone filled his heart.
A man, while crossing tho river one day,
told him that Selma had left her home
and gone to tho city with Mr. Windom,
the stranger who had sojourned in the vil
lage for tho lost few weeks.
"I will follow them and kill html" Peter
muttered, and tho man went on his way
fully behoving that Peter would do aa be
had threatened.
But Peter lingered at the ferry. In tho
course ot time tidings caino that Sclma
was Mrs. Windom, and that she was liv
ing in a fine house in the city, where hor
husband was a prosperous man of busi
ness. Peter only ground his teeth and mut
tered, ''I'll have my revenge yot some
day."
The days in ado weeks and months and
years. As the time passed, howevor, Poter
grew more and moro moroso, and tho ha to
that gnawed Incessantly at his heart began
to show in all his deeds and words.
One duy tho littlo homo on the bluff was
on fire, nnd tho peoplo from tho village
rushed thuro to fight the flames and to try
to savo whatever thoy could of Its furnish
ings. Peter was standing atone side, lean
ing against (v of tho giant pines, watch
ing tho destruction of his homo, unmoved,
milking no attempt to savo anything. Tho
peoplo looked upon him wrnthfully, and
some of them, moro daring than tho rest,
upbraided him for uot making an effort to
help put out the tire.
Peter only smiled grimly und would not
even reply to the inquiries thoy mudo
abuut tho origin of tho fire.
It was easy to sea that lis was not n fa
vorite among thum. Tho women espe
cially looked upon hlin with disapproval in
their eyes.
Whon tho houso was burned to the
ground and Poter was homeless, ono or
two of the men approached him and of
fered him shelter at their houses. These
offers ho refused, however, tolling thorn
that ho had already formed somo plans
which mado it impossible for him to ac
cept thoir hospitality, nnd so thoy left him
to tuko care of himself.
''No, nol" ho muttered. "I feel now
that Selma hug forgotten me. Sho is oil
guard, and my time has como to work out
myrovongo."
Had the momory of hor power over him
doterred him all theso years? And now
had sho forgotten hlmt
From the day of tho burning of Peter's
house he was novor soon again by any one
In tho village, and tho old ferry became
the property of anothor man.
For a week tho disappearance of Peter
was the theme of conversation by every
body. In a month it was talkod about by
a few, and in a yoar all had boon forgotten.
Potevllle hod grown Into a town of
several hundred souls In less than a woek.
Peter, in his aimless wandorings among
the mountains, had accidentally stumbled
upon tho richest mine that had been found
in that region for years, and ho named It
"The Revengo." In a woek a town was
located near it and was called Petovlllo
In honor of the lucky Under of tho mine.
A ripple of exoltoment ran through
Petovllle whon It was known that "The
Revenge" had boon sold to a capitalist for
an almost fabulous price, and that tb,e
new owner, Mr. Windom, was coming
there to take charge of it In person.
Mr.- Windom arrived promptly aQd
brought his wife with lira 16 sjiend the
summer among tho mountains.
It was supposed that Peter would leave
tho town then and go to some new field,
but instead ho loitered aroUnd, occasion
ally taking a trip into the mountains
alone.
Ono day Mr. Windom and his wife met
him ujt among tho mountains, where they
had come to seo an underground river vis
it) lo through a deep chasm from above, but
inaccessible from' below.
It was the first time since coming to the
mountains that Petor and Mrs. Windom
hud mot face to face. Peter watched her
eagerly, fur In spite of tho changes the
years had wrought In her appearance sho
was still the Sclma of old to him, and the
old passion that had filled his whole life
with so much bitterness flashed out of his
eyes.
Tho glance, howevor, was lost upon Scl
ma. To her ho wns only ono of tho rough
miners who swarmed among the moun
tains, but to Mr. Windom he was a capi
talist, and as such ho accosted him with a
degreo of fiimillurlty ho would not have
accorded to the others.
They had mot upon the very brink of
the chasm, at the bottom of which the
river was flowing.
"A remarkable place," snid Mr. Win
dom, peering over the edge of tho cliff cau
tiously, "Yes," Peter replied, also peering ovor
tho rock.
"I should llko to find out where the riv
er goes," wild Mr. Windom. "If it were
posslblo to follow Its underground courso,
thoro is no telling what treasures one
might find."
"That's so," mumbled Poter, watching
Mr. Windom closely, hla eyes gleaming
liko those of a wild animal.
At tho bottom of tho chasm the water
could bo seon running swiftly, and a roar
ing sound, ns of a mighty waterfall in the
distance, reached their curs.
Mr. Windom looked up and saw the
Wild gleam in Peter's eyes. Bo tried to
move away, but Peter sprang in front of
him.
"Wo will go down there together and
see what wo will find. Como," he cried
aud threw his strong arms around Mr.
Windom.
Thero was a fierce struggle. They
swayed to and fro on tho brink of the
chasm. In another moment they would
go over it and down to certain death.
Selma sprang forward, and in a voice
that sounded wondorfully sweet uttered
only ono word:
"Peter!"
Ho relaxed his hold In a moment and
looked into hor faco.
"Forgivo mo," ho murmured.
Sohna looked into his eyes and smiled.
She reached out her hand to him, and he
took it in both of his. Tho tears como to
his eyes and ran down his rough, weather
beaten cheeks.
"I have nothing to forgive. But you
must leave us now," she murmured, dis
engaging her hand.
Peter started away, staggering like a
drunken man. Ho stumbled toward the
brink of tho chasm, and before they could
prevent it plunged downward and was
nover seen again. John P. Sjolandor in

Chart of the Sky.
An international congress met in Paris
in 1887 and resolved to make a photo
graphlo chart of the wholo sky. The work
was begun in 1801, and as It Is expected
to occupy about 10 years it will form a fit
ting closo to a century which has boen so
rich in astronomical discoveries. Eighteen
observatories, scuttcrcd over tho world,
are taking part In the work. Similar in
struments and plates of exactly the same
size four square degrees will be usod.
Each photograph is to bo duplicated to
prevent mistakes, and also thuro uro to be
two scries ot exposures, so that some 44,
000 photographs in all will be taken.
A short exposure series will form a cat
alogue of about 1,500,000 stars down to
the eleventh magnitude, while tho other
scries will be exposed 40 minutes and
will forma chart containing about 22, 000,
000 stars down to the fourteenth magni
tude. Tho entire map of the sky, when
finished, will cover a globe 7 yards In
diameter. In two or three generations
astronomers, by comparing this chart with
their ovn observations, will know much
moro ,-iu we do about tho relations and
relative motions of the suns and systems
of space, nnd whither our own little solar
system is bound and with what velocity.

A FORSAKEN IDOL'
Jacob bnrled his gods at Shecbem
CastoS idols of itono and wood.
Well he wot they would ne'er bespeak
him
Further evil nor future food.
Nevertheless he could not treat them
Just like pieces of wood and stone.
When be thought how he'd tried to seat
them
Up aloft on an altar throne.
Once an idol I fondly cherished,
Which was known by the name you
bear,
Brit my faith in Its virtues perished
When I found it was false as fair.
Nevertheless I could not break it
Like an image of worthless clay,
When I thought how I tried to make it
All I ever could hope or pray.
In my heart, down a shady hollow,
Where the willow of weeping waves
Bide falsa gods, I was wont to follow
Out of sight in forgotten graves.
Thero you He with no name above you
With no epitaph false or true
Save tho fact that I used to lovo you
Ere at Shccheni I buried you.

Pure white, deep red and pink,
Tim garden trim was full of phlox
The lingering perfumes sink
Into her toul. 8h slowly rocks
And lists a bobolink.
