looking New Yorker who came just
liofore ton?"
Makiox "Yes 1 saw Tom Carter
brim; him np. lie is very handsome
bnt Ionics conceited."
Ethf.i "Well, roy dear girl he
talked to me for sometime, bat had to
go to his room, soon afterwards to
drees for tea. After tea, yon know
yon all htnved in the parlor to sing,
but I thought 1 would go ont in the
garden and maybe Mr. Montague
vt hut's his name) wonlj follow after
me."
Mahion "What a designing little
flirt you are, Ethel."
Ethkl swe-tlv.) "Yes, dear, of
;oor.e I am. Well, any way, Mr.
Mcntaguo did come oat. and he aBked
me to take a walk wit i him. Of course
I went, 1 was a little country girl,
Sweet sixteen-and-never-been - kissed'
kind of one yon know."
Marios "Poor m'ntaken wretch!"
Ethkl "Yes, darling, a fool, or
born one. We talked of this place,
(lierkely Springs) and be asked me
how i liked it I don't know what
prompted me, but it snddenly entered
my head to have some amusement out
of the muii, so I said 1 of course thought
it splendid because I bad joet left
school, and bad never been away from
home lefore!"
Makkin (shooked). "Ethel! ! !"
Etnm "Yes, you may be sure I
said it, and looked no vwe tly innocent
all the time. Keally, Marion, you can
form no idea how nngelic I oan look on
some occasions. Mr. Montague (to re
am to my story) smiled a superior sort
of smile and murmured, 'Ah! really,'
and I went on to say, I had always
longed to go to New. York, as I had
heard that the men were so handsome.
Here I paused for a second, then said
in such a soft voi-'e, (looking gently
np into his face and then down at his
feet.) and I can well believe it after
seeing I mean-after-after, then I stop
ped i-hort in maidenly confusion."
Mahion (reprovingly, bnt laughing).
"Ktuel you are simply awful!"
Ethel, "Now don't interrupt,
Marion. You should have seen him!
Child that he thought I was, my appar
ent admiration flattered his vanity,
and he smiled and said, 'Do you
know you are an awfully sweet little
girl?' I pig .-led and said, 'please
dr n't laugh at me Mr. Montague,'
whereat he a sured me he was not
laughing bnt telling the truth, and I
was appeased. After a lot more of
the same talk. I told him I mnst go in
as it was ten o'clock and I bad never
stayed out later in my life. Of course
ho insisted on my staying out a little
longer. (I should have been heart
broken if he let me go in). He told me
the later it grew on a moonlight night,
the nicer it became. I pretended to
be very much surprised at this, and
taid 1 did not quite understand. Then
he atkud me to come aud sit iu a
bench besido him, and he would prove
to me what he meant. After we bad
been there sometime I told him about
the gipsy telling your fortune yester
day, lie asked me las I knew ho
would; if I had mine told and I said
no, thiit the gypsy had looked so
dirty I had hocn afraid of him."
Marion "Hut Ethel he did tell
your fortune"
Em it. "Of course he did you stu
pid thing, bat I wanted Mr. Mon
taguo to o.ler to do it; and be did." He
said, "I don't look dirty, and
I can tell fortunes, let me tell
yours?" I pretended to be very much
pleased and pave him my hand with
an engaging .'.ir of child'ike frsnkDcss.
He held it just like this: Marion, Rive
me your baud so I can show yon.
There! Isn't that a sweet wax ? Well,
he told me 1 was just seventeen, and I
admitted that I was seventeen the day
before, (so I was live years ago). Then
ho eaid I was going to be a gr- at bfdle,
but uould always love the m:tn who
had first made love to me. (I can't re
member who it was now, can yon,
!ear?l I blushed, looked down and
said, I hadn't met hiiu yet. Then Mr.
M. covered ray hand with his other
one and looked right into my eyes
with a really killing New York look,
and told me that 1 could meet him at
once, if not sooner. I mormurol
softly "How," and thon let my child
ish bli;e eyes gaz iuto his New York
ones for fully a minute. He was cer
tainly taken lu, for he looked very
much confused at such innocence,
and said, he would introduce me
to him to-morrow. But I said,
in a swe, lisping voiee, that I would
rather meet my hero to-night. He
looked very much startled for a second,
then be smiled and sni 1, "My sweet, it
is L"
I, of ennrso jumped upinjdismay.and
terror (also hysterics) and said in a
Lobbing voice, you are teasing me,
Mr. Montague and you shouldn't scare
a little girl so, 1 am going to toll my
ma!' With that I tied into the house
and up here before lie had recovered
from the shock." (Ethel finished her
story with a ringing laugh).
Maumv "Ethel, you are a perfect
terror. What do you intend to do to
norrow?" Ethhl "Snub him, of course, he is
o conceited, it will do hi u good. 1
have only treated him as he wished to
treat me. Jack is coming to inorroir,
nnd how he will enjoy hearing about
Mr. Montague."
Marion "Jack is entirely too good
for you, Ethel. How unhappy you
will make him when yoa are iiia

we shall be great friends, I shall quite

Tom is toughing violently, then
in a gasping voice replies: "Ye-ye

Ethel says she has never ha any les

Mont. "Yes, and she also told me

I Tom. Apparently in great danger

Tom. In a smothered voice) "Q jd

Tom. "No, I was just gasping. I

Tom meanwhile falls to the floor,
rolls, howls and gasps, "Oh, Mont
Montagnel Oh! Oh! 'Listen to my
tale of woe!' if yoa please. I have
known Ethel since she was a child.
Yesterday she was twenty-two. Yes,
yoa may stare, but it is true. In the
second place she has traveled all over
the United States, and until this year
she has spent every summer at New
port. Thirdly, she is as big and as
perfect flirt as ever was born. Fourth
ly she is engaged to be married t ) Jack
Crabs, who is coming here to-morrow.
And all told, Mr. Montague, of New

In the fertile brain of Dr. & Welt
Mitchell was conceived some time
since the idea of an antl nicotine
cigar, which Is now In great demand
uruong imeterale smokers, says the
Philadelphia Kecord. The illustrious
neurologist nutnliers among his pa
tients many suITering from nervous
diseases, the result of excessive smok
ing. To these he was wont to say:
"You must, give up smoking alto
gether if you wish to regain your
health. " The patients demurred.
The doctor admitted it was rather
hard, and lgan to look about for
ome. alternative plan. He felt that
rr a cigar could be manufactured from
which all or the greater portion of
the nicotine were extracted the effect
upon the smoker would be practically
harmless. The idea was explained to
a well-known local manufacturer, who
at once bad the ciears made after the
plan suggested by Ir. Mitchell. The
VueltaA'alo tobacco, used for the
Slier, and the Connecticut wrapper
are subjected to what is termed the
"double resweating" process. The
materials are placed in a steamroorn
forfouror Hve hours, after which
they are taken out and subjected to
s natural drying for a day or twa
This operation Is thrice repeated,
after which the tobacco Is considered
practically free of nicotl Many
prominent men have tabooed the
stronger brands of the new clgai
without prescription and through
choice The manufacturer estimatet
his sale for the flr-t three months at
1,000 boxes.
I'Blw Rounomr.
There Is nothing in which the aver.
ge man and woman exercise greatet
false economy than that of time.
They think tosave it by crowding into
an hour the thoughts that should oc
cupy three, and as to duties why if
planning could perform them the
whole week, from Monday morning
to Saturday night, would finish up
the first day.
The true economist plans for to
morrow, allowing a reasonable time
for each duty, while a little margin
for emergencies, and then allows the
matter to rest. The false economist
likewise plans for to-morrow, but
each half hour is crowded up to the
last minute, and three-fourthsof to
day is full of anxiety lest something
w 11 be left undone. To-morrow ar
rives to find the worker half unfitted
through the worry of the day before,
for such work as could have been
easilv performed. So there is a sense
o' defeat a ided to the anxiety for
the next day. Thus the worry ac
cumulates, until nervous prostration
lays its victim low. Then the rest
which should have been taken daily
and hourly, is all taken at once. In
one long stretch, perhaps of weeks,
perhaps of months. Nature will not
be gainsaid, and those who will do
all their work at one time must do
all their resting at one time. She is
just, and will even up the balance.

Says the St. Louis Star-Saying-.
"The letters brought cut by the
death of Blaine and published over
the signature of "Mack;," in the late
issues of the St. Louis "Globe-Democrat,"
are the choicest contribution
to the higher grade of political litera
ture that the newspapers have seen
for many a day. They combine a
style that Is hard to surpass with a
mass of information, much of which
is the result of the writer's intimate
and confidential relations with th
men about whom be speaks. They
are fioiu the pen of Mr. J. B. Mo
Cullagh, the editor of the "Globe
Democrat," and they show conclu
sively that be has not lost one iota
of bis old.time vigor. All we regret
about then is that they were not
published In "The Star-Sayings,"
where they could have that wide ctr
culation to which their merits eo
titloi thetu."

TJaerul Skunks.
A correspondent of the New York
Tribune says that the hop-growers of
Jtsego County have discovered what
aturallsts have long been trying to
nake farmers understand that
.kunks, instead of being their ene
uies, as they former y supposed, are
imong their most useful friends. As
me hop-grower expressed it, "Now
idays we protect skunks as carefully
ts we do song-birds."
Hop-yards, it apiars. are infested
y a certain kind of grub which
;naws off the tender vines at the
oot, and this grub Is tne favorite
ood of the skunk.
As a general thing the skunks sail)
brth at nightfall, but now and then
.hev are to be seen at work in broad,
la light. The proceeding Is an ln
cresting one to watch.
The skunk begins his quest ou the
idge of the yard, where he cocks bin
lead over a hill of hops and listens.
'.t a grub is at work upon one of the
our trailing vines, bis quick car is
ure to hear it. At once he begins
o paw up the earth, and presently he
s seen to uncover the grub and
wallow it with unmistakable relish.
Then be listens azain, and if he
lears nothing, proceeds to the next
till. And so he goes on till be has
lad his AIL
Now that the skunks are no longei
nolested, they have beotne coin
laratively fearless. Sometimes, we
ire told, they keep up their operations
iven while the cultivator is driven
etween the rows.
One man rejoiced In the presence
f a skunk family two old ones and
heir five kittens. The young one
ol lowed their father and mother
tbout the yard In broad day Iiht,
vhile people stood looking on. The?
re re both ornamental and useful: but
me day two strange dogs came along
.nd killed them. The farmeractuallj
hed tears when he saw his seven peti
ying dead on the ground.
Be Joyful.
In that magnificent anthem in
which the line recurs "lie joyful,
oe joyful, my heart ever joyful," lies
t suggestive secret for all true living.
Despair and doubt and depression are
jnhealthfui, are destructive of all
worthy work, are corrosive in their
stlect upon character. The religious
d'nitlcance of gladness is shown all
through the scriptures. "Be glad in
the Lord," we are told, "ltejoice
freatly," "Lift up your hearts."
Tnese are but familiar examples of a
uiulilude of similar expressions. De
pression is such an enervating and
negative state as to lie almost im
moral. One has tria's to meet, dif
ficulties, hardships, even; obstacles
to overcome. What of them? Ii
there not the triumph in overcoming?
Is it not they who overcome whose
n iuics are marked by a white stone?
What am I, what are you, what is
our neighbor, than any or all of us
should be exempt from the discipline
of life? If the suffering burn? out
the sin; If the difficulties we en
counter c eate new energy to sur
mount them; if the consequences of
our faults and fellies teach us to live
aliove such follies and faults in future
shall we not rejoice? Surely, one
is not in love with one's sins, neg
ligences, or ignorances, and the sooner
they are starved out, and driven out,
an I purified, the tetter. Sorrow, too
the loss of friends; the sorrow we
feel, and sometimes the most keenly,
through sympathy with the sorrows
of others; disaster and misfortune
all these come more or less Into
every life with their varied discipline,
their varied aid. What then? Lift
npyour hearts. Rejoice in the Lord.
Let it all tend to the spirltualizatlon
of life. Not because one is sately
boused and sheltered from the storm,
but because he has achieved the
power of living above the storm,
may he say, in the refrain of Buddha
and of the cowherd, in the beautiful
'egend, "Rain on, O, cloud, rain on!"

NUMISMATICS IN CHINA.

Buck 4 SOO Tears.
China is the paradise of tbe numis
Qialist. The collec tions of cash, ao
I cording to Consul Edward Bedloe'i
report to the State Department,
' quoted by the Philadelphia Bulletin,
i are something marvelous. They ar

or silver, ranelne in intrinsic valu
from 1-20 of a cent to 25 cents. The
Oldest ot these coins on record ap
peared about 2,300 & C Over 150,
ooo different kinds of cash are pre
served In collections. Some are won-
derful examples of coinage, but most
of them are clumsy and coarse. Th
numismatist can work all his life,
spend very little money and leave to
posterity thousands of coins. All be
needs to do is to confine his work to
the collection of cash, the small coins
in brass and bronze, whose value
ranges from 1-1 0th to 1-1 4th ot a
cent. Their workmanship varies, but
Is usually very good. Their shape
to day is like that of European coins,
with the exception that through the
center Is a square hole through which
the coins are strung together like
beads. In the past, however, other
forms were employed, Including the
square, triangle, heart, ellipse, shield,
key, sword, and spear. Tbe numbei
of kinds is simply immense. Thej
are referred to in the literature as fat
back as 250 B. G "The earliest that
1 have heard of," says Consul Bedloe,
"dates from the Ts'in dynasty, which
ruled from 225 to 207 B. G From
i that time until to-day these useful
little coins have been used by everj
monarch, no matter whether he was
an emperor of the entire country oi
king of one of the petty principalities
Into which, from time to time, the
Chinese Empire wa9 broken. There
have been, over 1,200 occupants
of the various thrones, rojal and im
perial. In addition to these regular
! 1SUeS ,f 8U.CD the maT
be called,
there have, been special issue? from
time to time and also special local is
sues. A wealthy mandarin in Can
ton is said to have the finest collec
tion extant, containing 29,000 speci
mens of different kinds."
The cost Increases as you go back
ward in time. Tne cash of this cen
tury can be secured at their nominal
face value. Those of the eighteenth
and seventeenth centuries bring from
1 cent to 10 cents each Those oOthe
Han dynasties, from 206 to 100 A. D.,
bring $100 each when in One state ot
preservation. These true antiques
are found in ancient tombs and ruins.
Several hundred were discovered in
Amoy this year in digging a grave,
when the laborers broke into an old
tomb several feet below the surface
or the soil. The coins lay in a pretty
earthenware jar, and were encrusted
with p thin layer of mala bite that
here and there had been changed by
moisture into azurite. The coins
were sold by the lucky coolies in the
next twenty-four hours, and are said
to have brought $1 apiece, an im
mense sum to men working for 12
:ents a day. To succeed in collect
ing cash a person must be a fine Chi
nese scholar. The lalior thereby In
volved is so severe as to preclude
aio-t collectors from Indulging la the
pleasure to any great extent.

the credit of human nature, the
prisoner did not hesitate a moment,
lie plunged in and brought the police

Grentlemen: I desire to make a brief
statement lor the benefit of the suffering. I
had been afflicted with catarrh of the head,
throat and nose, and perhaps the bladder for
folly twenty-five years. Having tried other
remedies without success, I was led by an
advertisement in the Sentinel-Democrat to
try Hall's Catarrh Cure. I have just fin
ished my fourth bottle, and I believe I am
right when I say I am thoroughly restored.
I don't believe there is a trace of the disease
