Ah, do!" turning upon her the full fire of magnetic eyes, whose power, when he chooses to exert it. the tender s x find it hard to resist. The spirit, being femi nine, hesitates. "How can 1 devote all my time to one mortal when I havo so much to do?" sho said perplexedly. "No; it is impossible! Still," marking Van's de jection, "I can help you.

Van was startled for nn instant, and then it grew clear to him that this was his old soul that he had abandoned foi the Christmas spirit. "Well," he said genially, "there you are!" "Evidently," murmured tho Bonl. "And, no,," pursued Van, "what shall I do with yon?" The soul surveyed him with the ut most uonchalauce. "I think I shall just stav around hero a bit with yon, old man," it said airily. "It will be some what of a relief to move without hav ing to take you along, body." "Oh!" said Van in some alarm, "but that- won't do! No man wants two souls going about with him. I don't need you. I've got a better one now, and I think I'll dispose of you. Tell you what," with sudden inspiration, "I'll g; ve you to old Oolthwaite. He hasn't any soul at all; sold it to the devil, tin y say, long since. " And Van laugh ed content dly. "Will that suit you?" he asked courteously. The soul glanced at him with smil ing contempt. "Well, hardly !" it sneer ed. "It's all very pretty to bo so gener ous, but it is scarcely the part of a man of prudence to give himself away in any sense. Aud you would do it completely.

And why all this unflat tering despair? You'ro nsed to mo now. Yon wouldn't know how to obey any other sort of spirit That new one of yours hasn't half my intellect Come, let us be as we were." But Van, with a mighty effort, flung off the depression that ho knew and hated so well. "Never!" he declared. "I've done my last task for you, old fellow. If you won't go to old (Jolthwaite, you must wander around without a body. You can't have me. I defy you!" "A little rash!" it chuckled. "Yes, decidedly rash. I can make it most un pleasant for yon.

" Van bad gradually become conscious of a strangely oppressed feeling, togeth er with a passionate desire for sleep, but he resolutely fought it off, dreading li-st the threatened conflict between his old soul and the new spirit should take place before the latter had attained snf ficieut strength to withstand thepowcr- J Tiir. sort r.i.ANcrn at n;i with smiling CONTLMI'T. ful old soul, in which event he knew bo was doomed to a hopeless slavery, from which there would be no rscape but death.

Even as he so resolved he was surrounded by light clouds that stilled him. Flashes of r. d light played around him. The clouds grew denser. He ceased to struggle and awaited the cud with calm certainty, ;uite sure that he would be the old soul's captive and not rousing himself to care much about the is-ne in either case. It seem ed to him that ho could actually fool the opposing forces as a heavy, deadly stupor crept upon him.

Newspaper Fr Sweeping. A very careful housekeeper I know say-: '-For sweeping a room neatly there is nothing like newspaper aid. It saves so much labor." This is her method: Take a page of newspaper at a time, wet it in hot water and squeeze it until it ceases to drip. Tear into small pieces of the size of your band, and cast them all over the carpet. Then sweep and most of the dust in the room will be gath ei ed into the paper. On matting use large pieces of pa per, pushing them abend of the broom to take up any fluff there may be, before beginning the regular sweeping. After a pile or other heavy carpet is thoroughly swept, a sponge with anioni and water will preserve its brightness wonderfully. About once a month, after sweeping, take a pailful of warm water, and add to it a tablespoonful of ammonia or turpentine. Two spoonfuls of the latter will do good, as it is an excel lent preventive of moths. Go over the whole carpet with a large, soft cloth, or sponge wrung so as not to drip. It is surprising how- rapidly the water gats discolored. If the carpet is large, and much soiled or dusty the water should be changed once or twice. New York Recorder Wicked Complaining l'erhaps ntver in the history of this country, baa there been so much murmuring and complaining about hard times as during the past two years. It is beard everywhere and among all conditions of our country men, from the pauper tramp to the plethoric millionaire. Employers and employes, laborers and business mon, professionals, merchants and manu facturers have rivaled one another in emphasizing the almost universal complaint of hard times. The times may lie bard, bnt if so, the evidence of it is not apparent in the inability, or at least the unwil lingness of the people to spend mon ey lor recreation. Jliilious were spent last year in sight-seeing in connection with the World's Fair, and other millions are being spent this year at public resorts. Tbe tes timony of the keepers of hostlcries at the sea side and mountain resort is, "We never have been so crowded and never got better prices for entertain ment." Of course where the demand is large as compared with the supply, prices will be correspondingly larger. That labor is not so plenty, nor as remunerative in ready cash as in oth er years that the manufacturer has not received as much for his wares, nor the farmer for his produce, all will admit; but that theie is any good reason for all this complaining about hard limes is not apparent. Iu fact It is sinful. Ordinary grati tude should prompt a recognition of God's band, opened wide to supply all our wants. If Israel's murmur ing was an offense to God, deserving condign punishment, the American people may well question their pres ent relation to Ilim whos9 Provi dence numbers the very hairs of our heads.

The germs of hog cholera, says the report, ara veiy hardy and vigorous, while those of tbe swine plague are very delicate and easily destroyed. The litter are found to be present in practically all herds of swine, bnt the former must be introduced from infected herds. The most efficacious remedy tried by the goverments agents is the follow ing Wood, charcoal, sulphur, sod ium sulpbato and antimony sulphide, one ponnd each; sodium chloride, s ) diutn bicarbonate and sodium hyp osulphite, two pounds each. These are to be completely pulverized and mixed and a daily dose of a large ta blespoonful for each 200 pounds weight of hogs given The medicine may be used as a preventive of these diseases. It should be put into the feed of the whole herd. A Peouliar Horse Case- The caEe against Isaac Frank, a Hebrew peddler charged with the lar ceny of a horse belonging to John Kessler, a Perry county citizen, was tried at Harrisburg recently. Kess ler lost his animal on March 27, 2894. together with a buggy aud harness. Frank was shown to b ive purchased a horse and buggy two days later in Harrisburg from a man he did'ut know, never saw before and has not seen siuce. He took the horse to the lower end of the county. where be left him for two weeks. Afterwards another Hebrew cilltd and brought the horse within twenty miles of Harrisburg. where the ani mal has been allowed to remain tv-r since. Kessl-r identified bis prop erty in the animil and so notified the Hebrew, wh i told him the story giv en above. Frank offered a receipt as evidence for $124 written by Ald- rtaau Kiuneard of Harrisburg, and signed 11 Glick, with his mark. Frauk said Ghck lived at Mulers- burg, but was not able to locate him or find -anybody who knew such a man at Millersburg. several of Frank's witnesses on cross examina tion by the District Attorney made damaging contradictions. Tho jury rendered a verdict for the plaintiff. The Turks treatment of the Ar mcuiaoH iu the late barbvrous raid in Armenia is terrible.

"CI. Hood St Co., Lowoll, Mass. : I feet It a duty to state what Hood's Sara partita has done for me. I was almost blind, being compelled to stay fn a darkened room oa account of inflammation of the eyes. I also suffered with running sores on my body. I was In terrible condition. My mother tried aTftry thing she knew aliout and I was attended by two doctors but without helping me. Finally Hood's Sarsaparllla was roconirnemled and I hail not taken two imtllcs before 1 began to get better. Tbe inflammation left my eyes and tus sores heated, and the result was that I Became Stronger, and was restored to perfect health. At that time I was only twelve years old; now I am nineteen and I hare not siuce been troubled Hood'siCures' with my eyes or noUced any sign ot a return ol the sores on my body. I can recommend Hood's Sarsaparilla as an excellent Mood purifying medicine. Miss Cora Ebert, BarnesTilto, Pa. ' Hood's Pills act easily, yet promptly aaat.
