We know a truly happy man
I And of him we mast tell ;
His laughter sounds as pleasant
As a boarder's dinner bell.
Be never says an angry word,
He always wears a smile
And ererybody loves him
I For the goodness of his style.
lie's always brave and cheerful
And 19 never looking bine,
lie doesnt growl and grumble
Like some other people do.
He doesnt try to ran the world
Upon a better plan.
He takes things as he finds 'em
1 As a happy person can.
Although he tsnt wealthy,'
He dont worry for a cent
In poverty or riches
He is equally content
He looks yon squarely In the eyrt
And firmly grasps your hand
And any act of meanness
He can nevor understand.
He's never heard complaining
And to "nervous" not at all
He's always glad to see you
And you like to have him call
The birds are ever singing
In his heart forever light :'
And peaceful are his slumbers
When he lays him down o' night.
In business he's successful 3
Tot he's always making friends
ls home it is the sweetest
And its comfort never ends.
His wife can't help but love him
And his children do the same,
His neighbors all respect him
And are proud to spread his fame.
The reason of his happiness
-(Which anyone can share)
We think it right to mention
For the sake ot being fair
This simple man is happier
Than any kings or queens
Because he has the courage
To lve within his means.

HICH of yon boys
is going after the
new teacher?" said
Ephraim Olds.
It was an ex
tremely informal
luet-tin? of the
M'et Cary school
board, held is
Ephraim Olds's
barn for con
venience. The son
of two of the di
reotors had
dropped in.
"Yen, one of you boys has got te
po," Marcus Loring appended. "Tout
dads are too old to be driving over the
country after school-ma'ams."
"Where is she?" WaJo Loring in
qnired, lazily.
Wade had "clerked it" in a largei
town, and wore better clothes thar
any fellow in West Cary, and held i
very complacent opinion of himself.
"Lives down to Trenton," his father
responded.
"And what does she look like?'
Wade demanded.
He was smokiDg a cigarette.
"If she's good-looking, you know,
I might think of it."
Pease hired her," said Mr. Olds,
'and he's the only one that's seen
her."
Mr. Pease was looking at Wade
Jworing with shrewd eyes', which
twinkled a little.
"WaL" he said, drily, "she aln'i
much to look at. A leetle too tall in
the first place, and kind o' bi-j'lnted
yes, kind o bony. Don't .'now as 1
can tell jest how she looks ; I didn't
look at her no more'n I ccnid help.
She ain't no beauty. . Beckon she's
nigh on to forty. Malvina Fletcher's
her name."
"Ex-cuse me," said Wado Loring,
with a laugh. "You'll have to con
vey my deep regrets to Malvtna
Fletcher, Bart, my boy."
Bnt Burt Olds followed him out o!
tho barn, looking anxious. He stood
in some awe of Wade of his self-confident
air, his dressiness, his popu
larity with the girls.
"If one of us has got to go, Wade,
you'd do me an immense favor" hr
began.
"I can't do it, my boy," said Wade,
decisively. ' 'Drive fourteen miles and
fourteen miles back again' with an old
trump? That isn't me I"
- "It will nse up a day about," Burt
insisted, "and Fm so busy with my
onions I can't spare a day. If my
crop's going to amount to anything,
it's got to be' attended to right along.
I know yon aren't busy just now "
"Have a cigarette?" said Wade.
"No? Well,Ican'tdoit,Bnrt. Sorry,
you know, but really I couldn't. "
And he sauntered away.
Burt's father joined him later in hit
faithfully-tended onion field, where
Burt was palling weeds.
"Wade won't go, will he?" he said.
"Wal, I'd go if I could, Burt, but 1
don't know what a twenty-eight-mil
drive would do to my rheumatism. J
can't stand riding lately, somehow."
"I'll go, fathef," Burt said cheel
fully.
He was a quiet, modest young fel
low, who tried to do the right thing,
aqd was not ashamed of having it soes
Jt he tried to.
He raised his handsome blue eyes
and smiled at his regretful parent.
"You're a good boy, Burt," said hit
father, warmly.
The West Cary school was to begil
the next Monday. At two o'clock, on
Saturday afternoon, Burt dfove np a
shady street in Tenton village, and
hitched his horse before an inviting
little house painted in dull green, with
a pretty porcL, and a iittie bed Of
foliage-plants, and a hammock.
A handsome, middle-aged woman
answered his rinjr.
. "Yes, tliis is Mr. Fletcher's," she
laid.
"I come from West Cary," Burt ex
plained. .
"Ah, yes! Malvina has been expect
ing yon," the lady answered, smiling.
"Will yon take this porch chair whilf
roa wait ? - It is cooler here. "
"Malvina's her husband's sister, 1
rappose," Burt thought, and whistled
softly while he waited.
He had but five minutes to wait, and
then a straifge thing occurred
A slonder yottng girl, with chestnut
hair crimped around her delicate face,
with bright, dark eyes and a vivid col
oring, tripped out of the house, and
hook hands' with him in the friendliest
way.
"I was all ready, yon see," she said ,
nd her quick smile made two distfnet
Simple "CJood-by, Tom!' She
bagged and kissed a fourteen-year-old
boy; who had brought out a. big sat

the affectionate, family 'group down the
walk. X He felt dazed.

I-lady kissed her relatives yet again at
the gate, he shook hands with them
both, confusedly. Then be blushed;
bnt the young lady looked pleased.
A tight wind lifted the soft looks ot
her crettr hair, as they drove away.
Burt hardly dared look at her. He did
not find bis voice till be had turned
the first corner.
"So you are Miss Fletcher Malvina
Fletcher?" he said, abruptly.
The new teacher turned her bright
eyes upon him.
"Who did you think I was?" she de
manded. "Nobody I nobody," Burt falt
ered. "Thank you I" Miss Fletcher cried,
laughing ; and Burt laughed.
He was half afraid of this bright
young creature, with her charming
prettiness and her lively ways; and
yet, he felt oddly at ease with her, she
was so cheerful and bo friendly.
He did not know how he did it, bui.
commencing stammeringly, he told her
it the little joke which Mr. Pease had
conceived and successfully carried
through.
"How funny I" Jttajvina xieicoei
jried. - .'And how cute of him I I be
lieve I shall like him. X thought I
should when I saw him. I believe I
can manage him, you know make
him furnish new things for the school
room, and raise my wages a dollar a
week," she declared, merrily, Her dim
ples twinkling.
"i know you can I hum responded
with warmth Burt, the bashful, the
self-distrustfux, "You'll have him at
vour merer, too, for you'll board
there. They always board the teach
ers. We live just round the corner
from the Peases's," be added, more
timorously.
"I am glad, you do," Malvina re
joined, frankly, and without blushing.
"Ire a tennis court," said iJnrt-
"if you play?"
"Oh, yes badly l"
Malvina laughed.
"I am glad you do. Well have some
Am.6s. I'm bnsy just now, but my
onions will be oft my hands before
long, and then I'll beat you eoms
-rames if I can."
Onions 1 How tar away and uninter
esting they seemed !
The eolor in her oheeka was like that
of a rose, and her eyes sparkled with
quick sympathy and girlish enjoy-
nent.
The sun waa waning when they
drove into West Cary.
Bart had stopped and bought cara
mels and bananas, and the half-emptied
bags reposed in a companionable way
between them.
Malvina had taken her hat off, for it
was warm, and her flower-like face
hone forth in all its sweetness.
Therefore, when Wade Loring came
iriving down the street in his new
buggy, and met Burt and the new
teacher face to face, he almost dropped
us lines.
He stared I bis jaw dropped; be
ow red and redder. Bewilderment
was depicted on bis face disappoint
nent, indignation.
And Burt he conld not help it as
ae drove on, laughed.
The new teacher went home at thi
nd of the first successful week of her
labors in the West Cary school, but
she did not go by train Saturday morn
ing. She went in Bnrt Olds's phae
ton, Friday night, after school, and he
lrove back for ner Sunday afternoon.
It was by no means the only time
ihe made a trip home in the same way ;
aor did Burt "hitch up" only on Fri
days and Sundays.
It became a matter of common
knowledge that Burt Olds took the
new teacher driving quite often on
moonlight nights, and that they played
heokers m Mr. Pease s parlor when
;hey did not go driving, and did other
ugnincant things.
"Malvina often wrote to her mother;

Wo have long known Mrs. Jas. M. Todd,
of Long Baplds, Alpena Co., Mloh. She has
been a sad cripple. Many of her friends
know the story of her recovery; for the bene
fit of those who dc not we publish it to-day.
Eight years ago she waa taken with ner
vous prostration, and la a few months with
muscular and Inflammatory rhtrnmatiirm It
affected her heart, then her head. Her feet
became so swollen she oould wear nothing
on them; her hands were drawn all out ot
shape. Her eyes were swollen shut more '

swollen and for eighteen months she had to
be held up to bo dressed. One limb became
entirely helpless, and the skin was so dry
and cracked that it would bleed. During
these eight years she had .been treated by a
score of physicians, and has also spent much
time at Ann Arbor under best medical advioe.
All said her trouble was brought on by hard
work and that medicine would not cure, and
tiat restwai the only thing whloh would
extra her. After going to live with her daugh
ter she became entirely helpless and oould
not even raise her arms to cover herself at
night. The Interesting put of the story fol
lows In her own words:
"I was urged to try Dr. Williams' Fink
rills for Pale People and at last did so. in
three days after I commenced taking rink
Pills X oould sit up and dress myself, and
after using them six weeks I went home and
eommenoed working. I continued taking
the pills, until now Z begin to forget my
erutcnes, and can go up and down steps
without aid. Iam truly a llUng wonder,
valking out of doors without assistance.
"Now, If I can say anything to Induct
Chose who have suffered as I have, to try
Pink Puis, I shall gladly do so. If other
like sufferers will try Pink Pills aooordlng to
directions, they will have reason to thank
God for creating men who are able to con
quer that terrible disease, rheumatism. 1
have in my own neighborhood recommended
Pink Pills for the aftr effects of la grippe,
and weak women w.tU impure blood, anj
with good results."
Mrs. Todd is very strong in her faith In thfc
curative powers of Pink Pills, and says they
have brought a poor, helpless cripple back to
do her own milking, churning, washing, sew
ing, knitting and in faot about all of her
household duties, thanks to Dr. Williams'
Pink Fills.

How Rapidly We Think.
Ilelmholtz showed that a vavn of
thought would require about a minute
to travel a mile of nerve, and Hersch
found that a touch on the face was
recognized by the brain and responded
to by a manual signal In the seventh

He also found that the speed ot
sense differed for different organs, the
6ense of bearing being responded to
In the sixth of a second, while that
of sight required one-fifth of a second
to be felt and signalled. In all these
;ases the distance traversed was about
the same, so the inference is that
images travel more slowly tban sounds
or touch. It still remained, how
jver, to show the portion of this in

Prof. Donders, by very delicate ap

The Paeifio Ocean may be reckoned
lo include 60,000,000 square miles, or
more tban one-third of the total are
of the earth's surface. It extends
through nearly 135 degrees of latitude,
pr three-eights of the world's cireum
ferenoe a stretch of 9000 miles from
north to south. From east to west it
varies from an even greater length to
leas than fifty miles. If confined by
the smallest possible length of boundary
tine, it would form a round pond 9300
miles in diameter. The deepest sound
ing made by the Challenger expedition
was in the Pacific, between the Caro
lines and the Ladronee, and was 4475
fathoms, or 26,860 feet : a greater depth
than the height of any mountain in
the world except three. A still deeper
rounding waa made from tne United
States ship Tnaoarora, of 4000 fathoms,
(27,600,) at the entrance to the Sea of
Okotski; that being probably the
deepest reliable sounding ever made.
The Paciflo Ooean has not been ex
plored nearly so thoroughly as the At
lantic, and generalizations from the
comparatively few statistics available
bay be subject to considerable inaceur
Loy ; but, putting together the recorded
poundings, and taking into account aa
Estimate of the depth based upon the
iwiftness of the tide wave, it seems
probable that the average depth of the
Paeifio may safely be pnt at 8000
fathoms, (18,000,) or nearly 3 miles.
This gives the entire contents of the
Paciflo as nearly 232,000,000 cubio
miles. Some conception of one cubio
mile may be got from the statement
that, if we had a block of buildings of
that size, it would take an hour to
walk around it at a good pace, and a
fairly easy staircase to the top of it
would contain 10,000 steps, while
thirteen cathedrals as high as St. Paul's
sould be piled up on one another with
out reaching to the top.
The cubio contents expressed in feet
b thirty-four trillions, (thirty-four
million million million.) This is a
number it is not easy to realize ; it is
to great that if a million clocks ticked
once a second for a million years their
soinbined tickings would net amount
to it. As each cnbio foot or water
weighs over sixty-two pounds, the
weight of the Pacific is over 2000 tril
lion pounds, or 950,000,000,000,000

A TABLE OP THB WAR.
s Bo mantle Story of tore. Sutterliis and
Sorrow.
Iininediatelypreccdlngtholate wai
the daughter of a wealthy Southern
planter was beloved by two young
men, a So itherner and a man from
the North. She became engaged to
the Northerner, and this so . enraged
his rival that be swore to have bis
life. The marriage did . not take
place, for both young men felt It nec
essary to fight In behalf of tbelr own
sections of tbe country. Tbe young
girl lived on during tbe early days ofj
the war at ber father's house. One!
day a man, worn oat and travel
stained, sought refuge at the bouse
and was admitted into the young wo
man's presence She gave a cry of
rapture, for it was ber Northern lover,
and tben exclaimed with consterna
tion: 'IIow did you get here?
'By crossing the line."
"But If you are found here they
will kill you."
I could not resist seeing you."
Then In an agitated manner she in
formed him that a detachment of
Southern soldiers was encamped be
yond the small wood, and that the
officer in command was bis former
rival. .
"You must go at once," she urged.
"They come here for supplies, and if
they find you they will kill you as
spy."
'I know that," be returned in a
gloomy manner.
At this moment tbe door was burst
ipen and a number of soldiers en
tered tbe room. -
Ah, here is the spy," said a voice.
It was tbe Southern rival.
"I am no spy."
What are you doing here?''
"You should know.
At this the Southerner waved bis
arm to bis men.' "Leave tbe room,"
be said. The men obeyed.
"Now, sir," said the Southerner,
"you are aware what your fate will
be?"
"You cannot take me alive," wat
tbe sullen answer.
Tbe young woman threw herself
before the Southerner.
"You know be is no spy 1 " she ex
claimed. "Well, be will be shot as one."
Have you no mercy?"
"What mercy have you bad for mer
fie shall die like a dog."
"See," she implored, "1 beg on mj
knees. Could you not withdraw your
men, or so arrange it that he may re
turn?" "Possibly I could."
"And you will?"
On one condition."
Name it." -
lie bent over and whispered in hci
ear.
"Never!" she excla'tnaJ.
Then he shall die."
"Not as a spy I" exciaimed th.
Northerner, rushing for the window.
There was a short report. Tbe North
erner staggered, placed bis hand to
his t rcast, and then fell to the floor,
dead, shot by bis rival before tbe eyes
of the young woman who bad been
the occasion of the bitter vendetta.
That strange fate which bad permit
ted the meeting of these two men
under such circumstances bad occa
sioned one more tragedy among the
many remarkable and sorrowful
events of the war. The opportunity
for a bitter revenge bad been offered

Cruelty u a Kid Olove.
It has been estimated that out of
the 65,000,000 people in the United
States at least 15,000,000 are grown
women of an age to wear kid gloves,
and yet, according to tbe Dry Goods
Economist, the import Is about 10,
000,000 pair from France, which is
said to make 24,000,000 pair. When
we realize that one woman of fashion
can easily wear a hundred pair during
the rear it would seem that many of
our women are still to bo converted
to the wearing of that dainty neces
sity, a kid glove. Our large cities are
Immense consumers. New York stores
selling a larger number of kid gloves
to the average woman inhabitant
than any other city, except Paris,
which of course does a large trade
with its floating populace.
The center of the glove trade has
ilways been at Grenoble, a mountain
city of 55, 000 people In France, where
even the streets and public squares
sing of gloves, as one of each Is named
after Xavier Jouvin, a veteran In the
i.innii'ncturin? of k1 pl30i. The
raw sniui manufactured here in a
year are valued at $4,000,000. When
made into 15,000,000 pair of gloves
the value is Just doubled, and tbe
making up of the skins gives employ
ment to 30,000 people.
The skins for the so-called "real"
kid gloves come from Franc. Italy.
Spain, Mexico and South America,
France ranking first where extreme
care is taken with the kids, even to
sewing tbe kid in a cover or blanket
to keep tbe delicate skin in perfect
condition. In the meantime the lit
tle animal grows until the cover in
flicts untold pain, but we never bear
of ladies forming a society to promote
the disuse ot kid gloves, as has been
tried with the Audubon society for
suppressing tbe fashion ot birds on
bats. But tbe birds are not abso
lutely necessary, or a substitute may

Jenner learned that there Is a right
ind a wrong way in which to insert
tbe virus in short, that the operation
is a nice exercise of medical art. Us
discovered that certain eruptive dis
eases occurring at the same time make
the best virus inoperative, and be as
certained that there are many circum
stances that rapidly destroy the vital
ity of the virus when not properly
cared for. He left the fruits of all
these observations embodied in a set
of rules of procedure that nearly a
century of experience and medical ad
vance has not improved upon. Of
course, he could not foresee the won
derful evolution In the methods of the
production of the virus that now puts
such a large and safe supply Into the
hands of the practitioner.
We, who tranquilly enjoy the fruits
of the great deliverance from the hor
rible and universal plague of smallpox,
see and know so little of it as not to be
able to form any Just conception of the
monstrous proportions of the scourge
when unchecked. The average death
rate from It throughout England was
such that if applied to the present popu
lation It would give 70,000 per annum:
In London alone before 1804 the an
nual deaths were 2,013 in a population
of 1.000.000: In 1S90, in a population of
4,000,000, there was Just one death
from smallpox. In the year 1SG0 there
