many different medicines but did get relief. In
the meantime to give me relief, the several
bunches around my knee were lanced and later
every effort made to heal the ruunini; sores but
all In vain. Then It was, while confined to my
bed last spring, that my father, Laving read
much about the merits of Hood's Saxsapaxilia,
Sarsapariila
decided to have me give It a trial. I have taken
it regularly, using nearly ten bottles. AU the
sores but two a.-e healed and thee are nearly
well. I have thrown away my crutches as I can

HAND IN HAND.
When spring was young and life wan new,
. Love was our only friend and guide .
Sweet were the bowers he led us through.
And sweet our going side by side.
Then summer came, a golden flood.
And still we followed hand in hand ;
Love was the music in our blood.
And lore the glory of the land.
Rich autnmn fell, and winter drove
The fruity ripeness from the air ;
But w rapped In warm, soft robes of love.
What recked we if the world was bare?
So round again we come to spring,
Strong for another year's emprise ;
The birds are waist to hear as sing.
The sun is dazskd by our eyer.
For, hsnd In hand, where'er we go,
' Earth under foot and Heaven above.
Love la the only lire we know.
And every breath we breathe is love.

Those Yellow Vases.
BY L J. MEADK.
Lucilla was standing ruefuly with her
head a little on one side : she was sur
veying the Jam cupboard.
Locilla's husband, the Reverend Ar
thur Field, was very fond of strawberry
jam there were only three pota left.
"Yon there, my love 7" a masculine
voice called from downstairs; steps were
heard ascending quickly, and Arthur
Field stood by his wife's side.
"Here is a letter for you, Lucy," he
said.
Lucilla opened her letter eagerly and
began to read ita contents ; as she did so
her cheeks flushed, her eyes flashed in
dignant fire, her whole charming face
was transformed. The anger which fill
ed it soon grew to utterance in her voice.
"Ob, Arthur, to think that I should be
treated so. My great aunt Lucilla, after
whom I was named, is dead."
"Is she, indeed, my love?" Foorsoul.
I am sorry when did it happen?"
"I can't tell you, Arthur. Oh, let me
see ; nearly a month ao. Of course the
Vincents, Mary and Ellen, did not want
me to know any sooner. Xo wonder!
Any one could see through their devices
they wheedled, they coaxed, they flat
tered, they petted and they got their de
sires. Oh! I would not be them I"
"Locy, your words quite alarm me
your words and your anger. May I see
that letter r
Lucilla gave her husband the open
sheet of note paper which she hnd been
holding, deliberately shut and locked
the jam cupboard, and then walked past
him into her own room, the door of
which she closed behind her.
He gazed after her retreating form in
astonishment, then bent his gaze on the
letter which bad cau&ed all the disquiet.
He read the following words :
Kkd Cbi8 Hoi-he, May 10.
My Dkar LrciiAA. You will be sur
pribed and sorry to learn that poor Aunt
Lucy pasted away quite suddenly on the
night of the 11th of April. She must
have died in her sleop, poor old dear,
and evidently early in the night, for
whed her maid found her she was cold.
Our rector, Mr. Martin, preached a
very beautiful sermon about her and we
had a verv nice obituary entice inserted
in the Haim, our local paper. The
funeral, too, was both suitable and ex
pensive, and F.llen and I have quite the
proper mourning we are wearing crape
up to our knees.
Well, my dear Lucilla, the will was
read, as is customary, after we had re
turned from laying poor Auut Lucy in
the grave. It waa a pouring wet day,
and I am sorry to tell you our new
crapes, on for the first time, got a good
deal spotted and injured stand. ng by
the open grave.
But to return to the will : Mr. John
son, Aunt Lucy's lawyer read the con
tents to us. Of course, we were not the
least surprised, nor will you be when
you get this letter. We were left every
thing; we knew this would be the case
when you displeased all your relations
by marrying Mr. Field.
When the will was read we found she
had not remembered you at all, except
but I shall come to that presently. I
want, first of all, to let you know how
Ellen and I are left.
We shall, when everything is sold,
have exactly ten thousand pounds apiece
by no means fortunes in these expen
sive days, but still enough to be com
fortable on. To be frank, I did really
think that Aunt Lucy was much belter
olf. She gave herself quite the airs of
wealth, which she had no right to do,
for what is twenty thousand pounds ?
You are not quite forgotten. Do you
remember those yellow jars those
frightful things which always stood on
a shelf over the drawingroom door the
yellow dragons, we used to call them ?
Well you are now the possessor of the
yellow dragens. I think, and so does
Ellen, that this fact, more than anything
else, shows how your marriage wounded
dear Aunt Lucy.
We have decided to take a house in
London, for we feel that after the long,
weary years we spent with Aunt Lncilla
it is due to us to have what fun we can.
I will write again, or perhaps Eilen will
write next, to tell you our new address.
Believe me, my dear Lucilla, your af
fectionate cousin,
Mary Vincest.
Mr. Field read this letter through with
out the smallest change of countenance.
If he felt angry his face did not show it.
When he had read to the very end he
folded the letter and returned it to its
envelope, placed it for safety in his
pocket, and walking across the landing,
tapped at bis wife's bedroom door.
"Can I come in, Lucilla?" he as
ked. "Not now, Arthur," she answered from
the other side of the door. "I am par
ticularly engaged, but I will be down to
give you your tea in a few minutes.''
"Very well," be replied in his gentlest
Toice.
When Lucilia entered the room she
went straight to the head of the table
and poured out her husband's coffee.
She did not say another word about the
obnoxious letter ; her face was once more
pleasant to look at, but there were traces
of tears about her eyes.
Tea was nearly over when there came
a ring at tbe front door. The servant
(they only kept one servant) her name
was Jessie entered the room to announce
the arrival of a box.
'It's prepaid, ma'am," she said, ad
dressing Mrs. Field. "Where shall the
man take it?"
MARCH 14. 1894.
"Let him leave it in the hall, Jessie,"
answered Lucilla.
The maid withdrew. Mrs. Field
glanced at her husband.
"I don't want that box," she said.
"On the contrary, my love, I shall be
very glad to see those dragon VAsea your
aunt was so kind ti leave you," he re
plied.
"Arthur," said Mrs. Field, "you don't
think I am fretting because of the mere
money's loss T'
"Yon can scarcely speak of money as
lost which you have never had, Lucilla,"
replied Arthur FieW, with his elow,
sweet smile.
He took off his coat and made a fuss
about opening tbe box he perpetrated
two puns while be lifted the lid, and
Locilla's mirth was no longer found.
The vases bad been packed evidently
with great care, and Field lifted them
tenderly out of their receptacle. They
were tall quite two feet high their
shape was very pecular, their coloring a
deep and rich amber.
The dragons which claim bed around
the stems of the vases had something
brilfiant about their coloring, which
gave them tbe effect of being set in
jewels. Arthur Field said :
"I never saw any china like this be
fore ; I should not be surprised if it was
valuable. When Power comes I will ask
bim to take a look at it."
"Ob, it is hideous !" said Lucilla; "it is
not the least valuable."
"I don't know that," replied her hus
band, "but valuable or not, it is very
quaint. I think it will give our drawing
room a decidedly unique appearance.
It will just tit, too, on that carved oak
shelf which I put up last week."
Field was a very poor man, and that
thing presently happened to him which
is always disagreeable, but especially so
when it comes in the train of an empty
purse. Arthur Field got into bad health ;
be was not dangerously ill but he began
to suffer from what he termed "the com
plaint of the age" his nerves got out of
order.
The poor man can neither take change
of scene nor do bis cares often slip off his
shoulders. Field was obliged to stay in
town, and whether he liked it or not, he
had to work.
One day Field came in and said with
a shadow of his former brightness.
"By the way, Lucy, I ran up against
Powers to-day on High street ; be is stay
ing here until to-morrow. I asked him
to come in this evening and look at the
vases."
"What vases?" asked Lucilla. She
bad absolutely forgotten her old aunt's
yellow dragon vases.
Those that your aunt left you, my love,"
replied her husband. "The more I look
at them the more certain I am that they
are irresistibly quaint and uncommon.
Powers is a j'idge of china, and X would
like his opinion on them."
At the appointed time the guest ar
rived. He was a little man with red
hair, a keen intelligent face, and a bright,
brisk manner. He and Field had been
at Trinty College, Cambridge, together.
After afew words of conversation, Field
fetched a stepladder, and, mounting it,
carefully removed the two vases from
their shelf. He took out a silk hand
kerchief and dusted them tenderly ;
then he turned to his friend and looked
anxiously at him for his verdict.
Lucilla, seeing the solemn expression
on ber husband's face, began to laugh.
"Arthur is quite romantic over these
lriv.btfi;l things," she said to Mr. Power.
"Pray, put him out of his misery at once ;
it is only merciful to quench false hopes.
The things are hideous, are they not?"
"Not at all," said Powers.
He lifted one of the vases in his band,
turned it to the light, tried to discover
some sort of inscription on the base of
the stem, twitted it round and round,
and finally replaced it on the table.
"Well," said Field.
"They are valuable" said Power, sud
denly. "How valuable I cannot tell
you. I should like to take them to
Christie's."
Lucilla clasped her hands.
"What !" she exlaimed, her color com
ing and going. "Io you mean Jo you
think those those frightful things would
fetch money?"'
"They may," he said, slowly. "Yes, I
am inclined to think they will fetch
something."
"But how much ? Do do tell me."
"It is impoHsible for me to say."
"A ten-pound note, perhaps?" queried
Arthur Field.
Power gave him a lightning glance.
"I feel confident you may reckon on
that sum," he said. "If they are valu
Iess from a collector's point of view, the
coloring is so rich that they are sure to
be bought for purposes of decoration."
"Oh ! Arthur," said Lucilla. She went
up to her husband and impulsively laid
ber hand on his shoulder.
Field made no answer, but, leaving
the room, he returned in a few minutes
with the wooden case in which the vases
had been sent from lied Cross House
some months ago. The two men packed
them with extreme care, and the next
day they traveled np to London under
the care of John Power.
There was a good deal of illness in the
large manufacturing town where field
worked, and he was so bu?y just now
visiting the sick and soothing the agonies
of the dying and of the bereaved that he
quite forgot the yellow vases.
Lncilla, however, who remained at
home, had time to think of them. She
did think of them. Now that there was
a possibility of money being furthcoming
tbrongh their means, she began to build
castles around these vases.
She felt herself growing pale when a
week after the vases bad been sent to
London, the poet brought a letter from
Powers, and Field and his wife were
together at the moment. He opened it
with languid interest, read its contents
and pasted it on to his wife with the
smile which came more and more soldom
now to his face.
"Power says we are certain of oar ten
pounds," he remarked.
"Arthur !" exclairr.ed his wif, "I have
made np my mind."
"Well, dear," he replied, y on often do.
What result have you arrived at at the
present moment V
"We will go to Christie's and see the
vsses sold," said Lucilla.
"My dear r
"Yes." she continued, "Mr. Power says
we are certain to get ten pounds for
tbem. Ten pounds will pay all oar ex
Herald
penses for a week in London ; with
economy it will also enable as to go to a
good doctor and get an opinion about
you. We will go, Arthur. We will start
to-morrow."
"My love," he answered, looking at
her in his tenderest way, "even if we do
get this money, would it not be best to
sive it?"
" We will save it," she answered. "We
will save it by spending it. Im"t op
pose me, Arthur; my mind is made up."
Two days later the Fields found them
selves in lodgings, rather uncomfortable
ones, in West Kensington. They paid a
small price for their rooms, however,
which was a vast consideration in their
present circumstances. Power came to
see them, and spoke hopefully of the
ten pounds.
"You may get twenty pounds ; but for
heaven's sake don't build your hopes on
it," he sai J.
"Oh, I won't," replied Lucilla ; but her
eyes contradicted her works, and Power
found himself obliged to turn away from
their pleading glance.
The Fields went to see a doctor, a great
man, who charged them two guineas,
and gave a considerable amount of ad
vice. Field was to rest, have a complete
change, and as luxurious living as it was
possible to procure for him.
The next morning early Mr. and Mrs.
Field prepared to start off to Christie's.
They were leaving the house when Field
suddenly turned faint and sick. -
"I cannot go, Lucy," he said, and he
sank into a chair in the dingy little lcxig-ing-house
parlor.
"Oh, no, you must not go," she said,
terror in her face and voice ; no, we will
go for a drive instead."
"A drive.1" he said, "my dear, you
forget our nearly empty puree."
"I do not forget," she replied, I will
take the risk. This is a lovely day ; you
shall drive. Arthur we will hira a
carriage and go into the park."
"We ought not to do it," he said in a
weak, low voice.
The LmJa'j turned out a success, and
the Fields enjoyed their drive. They
were out for two hours. They went into
Hyde Park, and for a short time their
carriage occupied a position in the line
of rank and fashion. No Woman in that
gay assembly looked prettier than Lu
cilla in her hired carriage, with her
shabby last year's bonnet on ber head.
It was very late in the afternoon when
the pair returned to their shabby lodg
ings in West Kensington.
Field could not help nttericg an ex
clamation of astonishment when he saw
Power standing on the steps. Luc Li U, on
the contrary, felt no amazement, for one
glance into the little man's face made
her hopes become certainties.
When they got into their sitting room
she turned at once to Power.
"Well," she said, "I know by your
face that you have brought the twt nty
pounds."
"Not exactly," he replied.
Field turned pale when Power said
this. Tbe horrible thought that be had
scarcely money enough in his bank to
pay for Lucilla's unwonted extra vagauces
came to his mind.
Mrs. Field, however, whose eyes were
fixed on Power, had no such qualms at
her heart.
"I know yon have good news," she
sail, in her brightest voice. "Perhaps
the ugly things are really valuable
perhaps they fetched more than twenty
pounds rteriing."
"They have," replied Power.
He put his hand into bis pocket, took
out a book, from which he eitracurcl an
envelope and banded it to Mrs. Field.
Power's eyes looked so fail of meaning
when he said these words, and his voice
had such a ring of assured delight in it
that Mrs. Field found herself suddenly
turning faint and almost sick. She went
to her husband and gave him tlie en
velope, "Open it," she said in husky whisper;
"I can't I I'm afraid."
He obeyed her at once. The envelope
contained a draft on the Bank of England,
payable to Lucilla Field for ten thousand
pounds sterling.
"Good heavens, Lucy ! Lr.cy, you are
dying!" cried her husband. What is it,
what is the matter, my dear?"
He scarcely took in the contents of the
note ; his eyes were fixed on his wife'e
face, for she had read the amount of the
check payable to herself, and the joy had
made her faint away.
"I wish you had been there," said Pow
er a few hours later ; there was quite a
furor over the vases.
Their history had been ascertained and
their pedigee established. I.ehtuann, the
great Jewish china maniac, was preseut.
It did not take him long to prove that
your aunt's dragon vases, Mrs. Field,
were once the highly prized treasures of
the royal house of Siam.
The vases were perfect, -without any
chip or ble nishof any sort, and were
the on'.y specimens known to be in ex
istence of that particular china.
Power told this marvelous history to
the husband and wife late that evening.
When Power stopped speaking Lucilla
turned slowly away and looked at Arthur
Field.
"I always said thoss vases were very
quaint," he remarked. "We shall miss
them out of the drawing room."

Mr. C. E. Bartholomew, Kalkaska,

But it's only reasonable. As a blond

It is lingular that the great laureate omit

it is that the old-time domestic remedies
are generally discarded in favor of the

1-1. by the " Barer."
The "Imrvr." a pest about the siize of
small strawberry, is working great
havoc niuvair the oyster btils in DcU
v iro tr.y and tributary streams, say
the? l'hil-.jdclphia Ledger.
i apt. Mux s Venie. of the oyster
schnr:er White Lily, nays that the de
structive powrrs of the ikot" have
been known tv oystermen only a few
years, fie had followed ojster uitrico;
for nearly thirt---hve years, and the)
flr.t "borer' he saw was about ten
years ao, lut their ravages in the oys
tcr istis were comparatively unnoticed
until last year.
Capt. Ye-ule said that "last year the
number of dead oysters with holes made
by borers in the shell became so great
that oystemien were alarmed. This
year the work of the borers has becomei
a grave? matter, and if it continues
many bays will re depopulated of oys
ters. From one bed we dreJired on this
trip we pot twelve hundred baskets of
oysters, but out of these only two hun
dred were good, the dead oysters hav
inif been killed by borers. A peculiar
th iti about the ravaarea of the 'borers
Is their apparent selection of the best
oyster beds. We have found this to be
true several times this season. Wo
have found a bed of small oysters al-m-xst
entirely free from borers. This
bed will bo separated from another
bed of 'arger oysters by two hundred
feet, but thi latter bed will be ao badly
atiocted by the creature that it will
hardly pay to work it.
-From what I can learn from oyster
men the destruction wrought by borers
is much more severe in Delaware bay
than iu other places.
"The work of the borer this year
makes a double misfortune, for tho
oyster beds were badly damaged by tlie
t: storm in Auj'tt-st and Scptemlcr.
Very few people who are not in tho
oyster dredging" business know any
thing of the methods of sie borer.
When I first took notice of its work I
secured several oysters just after the
borer had f.istened itself to the shell.
When the borer fastens itself it holds
on like a leech, and it is with difficulty
that it ran be removed with tho
tlngvrs.
"Jsouietimes the borer fastens itself
to the oyster shell ner the edtfe anil
then the oyster is not killed When
the hole of the borer is made near tho
center of the shell the oyster is at
tacked in its vital parts and dies iu
three or four days after the hole is first
made."
Some of the bed-owners near Maurice
river have lost larjre sums of money
this year on account of the borer. All
oystermen say there can be no way of
taking away tho borer without de
stroying the oyster beds.
FUTURE OF ALUMINUM.
Roofs for Hooaea and II nils for Testis
Hare to Be Made of It.
Aluminum, which itself possesses a
high decree of specific heat, does not
really absorb heat itself, and thus is
not liable to the chief objection to iron
buildings in hot countries. But apart
from liyht decorative purposes, says
the St, Louis Post-Dispatch, such as
balconies, cupolas, fiuiitls and veran
das, it Is as a rooting material that
aluminum should tie most welcome t
the builder. In plates or scales, two
thirds lighter than copper, nncotTode.l
by air and undimmed even by the sul
phur cf London smoke, it should niiiko
a roof fit for a palace of romance.
The humbler elements of health an. I
comfort in the hou.se hardly le im
portant than it external defenses
against the weather pipes, cisterns,
t::ps and gutters, now made of iron
w hich rusts, r lead which poisons
would be more enduring" and far mora
healthy if made of this light and clean
ly metal, which migbt also take) tho
place of all water-holding" vessels now
made of heavy, brittle earthenware or
painted tin- An aluminnrn bath is
amonjr the probable luxuries of tho
next century. But it is not as a mere
accessory to comfort and convenience
that real development of the new
metal should lie. It is for u-se at sea
that its most marked quality of light
ness obviously tits it.
The marine engineer and the naval
architect, who are already looking iu
this direction for a reduction of the
weight which is inseparable from loss
of eftioacy. whether in speed or carr-j,
cannot ncrloct the possibilities of a
metal, which, when mixed in the pro
portion of one to fifty, gives to aluminum-bronze
a hardness and tough
ness which makes it almost as reliable
as steel, and which, if the proportions
could be reversed and the strength pre
served, would reduce the weight of
ships and machinery alike by two
thirds. That is a problem which
awaits the metallurgist for solution.
The reduction in cost, judging by an
alogy, can only be a question of time
a:v! research.
The best steel now costs little more
than one-half penny per pound, while
aluminum U fifty times that price,
lint aluminum exists in far greater
i;it:tntilics than iron, is more widely
-tribtitfd. and neither the limits ol
time nor the history of metallurgy for
bid tis to conjecture that, as the world
has seen its age of stone, its age of
bronze and its age of iron, so it may
bvfore long have embarked on a new
and cv.'D more prosperous age of alum

A Dominant Force la tbe rolltlee wast So
ciety of Lit tie Delaware.
No resident of a great state can easi
ly gness the feeling of local loyalty
and of almost clannish pride common
throughout tho commonwealth of IK.-1-awarc,
says the New York Sun. When
Wilmington is left out of account tho
remainderof the state is peopled chief
ly by a rural community, native to the
soil and descended from ancestors
often settled for two centuries within
the bounds of the state. There are
many families still holding lands under
seventeenth century patents, lands
that have descended from father to
son all those years without the passage
of title deeds. It is only a few years
since a Delavvarean about to remove to
the west sold a pi--e of Ltnd tliat his
ancestors had purchased from an In
dian chief as the representative of his
tribe. Long descent i: Delaware is
confined to- no self-on"titiitcd upper
class, but is the bott.st of all sorts of
people. There are many ancient
churches in Dv.lav.are. ami probably
every one includes within its congre
ffUvon some families descended f.'o:n
those that took part in organizing tha
church. Rural communities through
out the state are curiously immobile.
IsurnaKies are few, and the region from
which a man comes is casiiv guessed
frm his name.
Family traditions are jealously treas
ured, and family traits reappear gen
eration after generation. There is a
numerous family in the northern coun
ty famous from the fact that nearly all
its male meml-crs, have red heads and
heavy red beards. The character is
said to belong even to distant branches
of the family in the west. Long de
scent, though so common, is highly
prized, and even where a family has
sunk ir.sr, disrepnts the fact of a re
spectable ancestry is held to make iti
members a little better than just every
day newcomers whose conduct is u
worse. Neighbors ia Delaware have
tenacious memories, and old family
scandals are whispered about for gen
erations. An old gentleman of blame
less life and excellent name never
dared to become a candidate for public
oCice because it was recalled that he
hail bevn born out of wedlock. Geneal
ogies are carried in the ha-ads of hun
dreds and old ladies often know the
intricate family relationships of half
the community. According" to tradi
tion, the Du Fonts, who have been
making powder for a century, used to
remember with aatusfactiou that an
early Bayard had been a hatter. Every
community has local traditions of this
sort and every man lives with the
knowledge that his family history is
known to all who have good memo
tu. -
