Union Biunal. THE STORY OF PSYCUE. Tsor.g, loniz aro wlrn tlie world was younger than it now is, and the txtra ordinary was more likely to happen, l! ere lived a k i : ej who ha. aqueeii with golden b:ur. They had tiree children, all iIh nlitcrs , who weie very beautiful. The two elder were (all and stately and the dark 1 eanty of their father, but the youngest princess inherited ber mother's umk-wlil.e skin and thlnlng gold l air. In ail the world there was no other maiden as lovely as tlie golden balred princess Psyche. In fact, she vasso be in! if ul that the people of her father's kingdom said to each other, "why do we worship women ot other lamia and tiuili temples to them and other sacillces? .None of them are to beautiful as the (laughter of our king. Not even Venus, the troddess of beauty can outvie the heavenly beauty of golden haired Psyche.'' Thus they said, though the princess herself was ignor ant of half her loveless and of the adora tion that was pa d to it. Now it happened that the people's sayings were carried (there's always somebody to cany a story) to the ears of Venus who was a veiy powerful god dess Indeed. Her kli gilom was very extensive, and perhaps there was no oiner woman ul iiiai nine wuo nan so many worshippers. But all the fame she was very ansrry to think that there was another woman whose friend dared a-8-jrtwas her equal in beauty. "It there no one," she cited, "who wi! avenge me upon the haughty mortal v. ho dares compete with me to whom was a 'aideil t ;e mee 1 of fairest iu a lull council of the goiln!'' Venus had a son, a handsome, cun Ing, we 1 meaning young man whose chlel fault lay in his disposition to make love to eveiy woman lie met Le she young or old, oi good er bad looking, Hearing his mother's complain' s, Cupid (that was the young fellow's name) a.sked her ony day what she w.iuld have him Co. "Punish (his vi.in young woman who thinks herself bau'iful. Take one of thv arrows which is capable of inflicting such smarts and pierce her bosom Willi It, so that she shall suffer her wound all her life long and be mis erable " Cupid, being a filial son, hastened to obey his mother's ni-thes. lie started one night yvil li l is bow and arrows, (this was before the invention of gun powder) to visit the princess with t.ie golden hair whose beauty had so anger ed Venus, He arrived at the King I'halou's palace late in the night. The doors were all with) open on account of the heat, and the guards who usually stood on duty bad gone into the gardens for trreater comfort. Cupid walked un molested through the courts and cor ridors till he tame t a chamber where a lamp was I nrniug. On an ivcry couch teiiea'ih purple hingln9 lay asleep the most leant i fill wo nan t' at he had ever seen. His mother Venus even could n t match li ir. How con'.d he harm this lovely maiden even if sii was his in itliei's enemv? Btill lie diil not forget Ids promise. He thought to himself, 'I will just pick ber beautiful shoulder, and perhaps Venus will le pacined." He took the lamp in his hand the tetter to see where to sir ke his arrow, and advanced to the beil. He bent over the sleeping beauty and just touch ed the rosy shoulder with Ids arrow's point. It was enough to arouse the princes", w ho sat up in bed and uttered a slight scream. Cupid suddenly bkw out the lhiht and escaped the best he might, but iu the excitement and the darkness be wounded himself with his own arrow, so that the blood ran freely, from that time Cupid never ceased to love the beau'iful Psyche. As forthc princess herself she thought she bad been dreaming, though the ar row's point in tier shoulder might have told a d fleient storv. "Surely I shall never love mortal,'' she siid. "If it was one of the immortals, my visitor will come again.'' And though her two sisters married and went Psyche still remained in the palace of King Phalon. Mauy suitors came, but the' all went ana n, for ln varlabiy the kcI len hairtd princess re fused to be won. At last her father went to the oracle and questional It of bis daughter. This oracle, we may say at once, was in the interest of Cupid, who was plan ning bow be co dd wed the princess without making his niotht r angry, soils priest had his answer ready when King Phalon asked of hit daughter's wel fare. "The ma!dn Is destined for no mor tal lover. On the summit of yonder mountain she will And her huab-.-nd. He is a monsttr whom it will not be wise to offend.' The King was very sorrowful at the tidings and all the young mal ens shed tears as thev pari"'! with their beauti ful companion. lint Psyche, who I ball believe mistrusted who the mon ster wa, bade them all f .rewell, and went bravely to the top of the moun tain. Arriving tlt re she saw a de lightful valley on the other side. Wending her way thither she found a magnificent paUce, around which were groves and fountains and whose rocfs were of shining gold. As she enteie 1 between the marble columns she heard a voice say: "Lnter this thv abode, beautiful princess. All that thou se, st is thine. Thou art its only mistress. Whatever thon wishest thou hast only to name and it is thine.'' Psyche Immediately took a bath and charged her raiment, then she satdown to a Coun'eous repast that was served in the best t iste Imaginable. Servants came at her call, and whatever Bhe asked for was intmtly provided. "When the night came she asked to see ber husband. "1 cannot sh -w myself to yon as yet," answered the voice, "but I shall be with you every night. Trust me and be content, for I love you, and no harm snail come to you." The d;'y and months went by, and though Psyche was as happy as could be expected, she lorged at times to se some of ber old friends. She bad not forgotten her father and sisters, and knew they must lie anvious to learn har fate, so one night she asked her bus rcid as a favor that her sisters might visit her. He granted her wtih, and Psyche sent for t! era at once Of course they were pleased to accept the invitation, for they were desirous to see how their s ster was situated. You can Imagine their surprise to nnd Psyohe living m tut h irai.uiticent state, but they wondered that ihry never saw her husband. At last they questioned ber about him. Psyche cnnfessel that she had never ten bim, but that she believed him to be a handsome young prince who loved ber dearly. ' Hut ber sisters were not jf Ibat nilud. "Do yon not remember that the oracle said that your busland was a monster? Undoubtedly he is treat ing yon well now so that he may devour you at his leisure. If we were you we would anticipate his action. Rome night you bad belter take a lamp and a sharp knife, and If you And him to be the monster that we believe him to be you can slay him." Psyche paid no beed at first to their suggestions, but as time went and her husband did not reveal himself, her curiosity grew excited. One night when all whs still and ber husband lay bes'de her fast asleep, she arose and lighting the lamp stealthily approached the bed. What she saw was a very handsome young man with rosy cheeks and soft golden curls falling down over his neck of snow. As she bent over bim to more closely view bis featurt a, a drop of burning oil fell upon bis naked bosom and awoke bim. He looked at her a moment with sur prise and sorrow, and springing instant ly from the bed vanished without a word. Psyche was so affected that she fainted on the npot. When she revived to consciousnesi the palace was gone and f he found her self In the open llelds not far from her old home. She was lilled with longings to And her husband, and could not re main at rest anywhere. She wandered on in one direction and then in another, till she came to a splendid temple on a hill. It was the time of harve.-t and all around were scattered the implements of husbandry mingled with heaps of grain, plies of straw and the rubbish that bad collected about the temple for many months. Before she went into the building to offer sacriliots Psyche busied herself In sorting and separating everything In its proper place, laboring very earnestly in the warm sun. This so pleased Ceres, the goddess to whom the temple belonged, that she eutertained Psyche over night ' so that she restaa herself ana was another woman when the sun rose the next morning. Before she started anew on her journey Ceres told the poor prin cess that if she wished to and her hus band, sh? had better go to Venus and put berselr under her protection. By do ing ti.uashe migbtdissolve that goddess's angejand ill-will. l ysche accordingly went directly to "Venus and kneeling humbly at ber feet asked that she might serve her. The goddess was somewhat surprised toihid ber rival iu so humilaling an attitude, but ber heart did not relent, she con ducted Psjchu to a huge pile of wheat, millet and barley, col lei ted as food for her doves, and said tj br, "If you would gain my favor, sift all this grain and put this millet, wheat and barley In separate piles.' And so (ha left her. Poor Psyche sat down and cried at what she thought was an impossible task. But while she was giving way to her tears she felt a little sharp bite on ber hand. She looked down an 1 saw an ant. "Weep uot,'.' said the little creature. "We will do thy task.'1 He and his companions went to work at once, and before night tUe ants bad the task completed. Venus next or dered Psyche to go t j a certain meadow where sheep wiib golden fleeces fed without a Bhepherd, and bring her a sample of the wool gathered from their backs. This was a daugerous opera tion, for tue theeo were wild and Uerce, but the river god took pity on Psyche, and told her that If she waited until late in the aftei noon, the theep would wander away, and she could then cross the river and dud all the golden wool she wanted ou the bushes and briars, t-be followed bis inst uctions and re turned before the night with her arms tall of the precious treasure. Venus was not yet pad fled however, and giving Psyche a box or Jasper stoi.e she told her to go to Proserpine and ask i er for a little of her beauty, and ou no account to tarry after she had received it, but to bring it directly to ber. This was the severest trial of all, for she bad to penetrate to the lower region to the kingdom of Pluto where Proserpine was queen. But she successfully accomplished her errand and was returning with tbe box of beauty when again ber feminine curiohity nearly c aused her destruction. Sue was tempted to open the box, and wnen sne aid so a vaporous cloud of Stygian sleep escaped and she fell into a deathlike slumber in the midst of the highway. Here she was round by Cupid, who revived her and told ber who he was. At his instruction she returned to II tiles and secured a second gift from Prosperpine which she carried to Venus. Cupid then made interc: sslon with his mother, and the whole court of the gods, and he was given a cup of nectar, which was pouted by Hebe's own hand, the cup bearer of the gods. This he can led to Psyche and sail! : "Drink or this nectar, dear Psyehe, and thou sbalt be immortal. Let it also be a phdge that I am thina and thou art mine forever." So the beautiful princess became at ' last a goddess, and Venus had no fur ther power to harm her. Fred Mtros Colby, in The Eastern State. Cleaning Stampi. " Probably every collector has been annoyed at his inability to procure clean specimens of certain stamps. If he is at all fastidious he objects to having the beauty of his album marred by having a very heavily can celed specimen beside an unused or lightly canceled one. In most cases, however, there is a remedy which, with care, may be employed to clean the face of the obnoxious specimen. The necessary apparatus consists of a fine paint brush and some white un prinled blotting paper, and in a few cases a little soap, for which purpose Castile is best. Lay the stamps on a smooth piece of wood or marble and begin by brushing the face with cold water. If after repeated application this has ro effect try the soap. After washing the stamp, lay It between two sheets of white blottiug paper (colored or printed paper is apt to stain the stamps), and shake it gently a few times, then allow it to remain under a heavy weight for two hours to smooth out the wrinkles. Jfever employ acids nor alkalies. I It is next to impossible to clean em bossed stamps, but If they are quite rare or very dirty, pulverize a little chalk, or procure some plaster of Taris and fill up the embossed design on the back, and clean it as much as possible by lightly using an eraser. The Russian or Cashmere stamps cannot be cleaned. With care and a little practice ordinary stamps, as tiiucK aa poor lampblack and grease can make them, cun be turnet? out as fairly good specimens.

Good Jn'iges say that one of the next lo ealltie to achieve distinction by jumping from a substantial town to a thriving me tropolis in a few years will be the city of Superior, Wisconsin, and this, too, with out the effort and struggle through which inferior towns have pafcsel while ef fecting the same result. Until a year or two ago the average man did not stop to think that Superior as a monopolist of tha water and rail termini at one end of the lakes U in the same position as Buffalo at tbe other end. Figures are uninteresting unless riven briefly, but comparisons are alwavs iiniortant This llttla Su- perior, credited by its last census with oniy ,uuu people, Dandled mora coal last year than did Chicago; of grain it shipped nineteen million bushels, of flour sixteen hundred thousand barrels, of wool four million pounds and of merchandise to the value of thirteen million do.lars. Of all lake cities this business was second on v to C'hicatro in maenitule. I There is an economical reason for this ! condition of things. It is that tbe rat! rate on freight sent west of Lake Michi j gan is one cent per ton per mile, while j tbe water rate is one-tenth of one cent per I ton per mile. This position at the ex treme western end of Lake Superior is what gives the city of Superior its prestige, I and is making it grow faster than ; Chicago ever did. Besides one hundred and ; one smaller industrial concerns, KupTior has located twenty-eight large manufacturing ' enterprises in the past eighteen months, in 1 eluding the American JSteel Barge Com j pany, the builders of tbe famous j " whaleback" Tessel, which is revo I lutiomzing the lake ami ocean freight carrying trade. Tbe twenty-eight Institn i tions atvve mentioned inc tide Iron and steel ' plants, flour mills, stove foundries, wagon . tiictories, pump makers, ship builders ani ' saw and shingle mills. Tbe most conser vative business men in the Northwest believe that Superior will grow faster in the next ten yean than any other city in that prosperous section of tbe country, and many of them claim that Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis and Mil waukee have never seen the r i 1 growth that will come to the beni ot the great chain of lakes and the city of Superior.

My doctors said your remedy might help me for a time, but that I would not be here a year hence. I took Swamp-Root for nearly twelve month three times a day, and when tbe rheuma tism set in on ray shoulders and arms I used your U. & O.

No otnar manifests Itself by so many different symp toms, and Is consequently mistaken far soma other disorder. No other has more serious results If selected, and yst no other Is more easily cured than so-callal Indigestion. It occurs with babies and teeth ing children and with grown persons particu larly In consequence of a cold on the stomach, (catarrh) caused by wet feet, Improper diet or ntemperance In eating ordttnking. The u.s of Icy beverages Is particularly dangerous la this respect. It manifests Itself at first by I cut of appetite, aversion to certain kinds or food, a desire to vomit, coated tongue, parched Hps and sharp pains Just above and between ths eyes. If the troub e continues for any leogth eftlme, the patients grow thin and weak, au and in consequence become peevish ana rose. If Ihe disease Is confined to the stomach It ts usually accompanied bv constipation, li It extends Into the Intestines, as Is often ths case Ith children, diarrhrea sets In. which it extremely weakening. If the disease Is neglect ed in the beginning ihe pain over tbe eye in creases to i-ucli an extent with grown persoot that the symptoms ri smble those of Inflamma tion of Ihe bowels or of the brain.
