THE COUNTRY ROAtX
From the busy haunt of firmer-folk
It starts on its winding way.
Goes over the hill, and across the brook.
Where the minnows lore to play;
Beside the mill with the water wheel,
And the pond so dark and deep,
Chen up to the tavern and Tillage store,
And the church where the dead lis
asleep.
Ten would never think that the country
road
From the hill to the store could be
80 long to a boy with an errand to do
And another boy to see.
I on can UTvr dream how skert it Is
From the farm to the fro ten pond,
Nor how Tery much farther it always la
To the school house just beyond.
Oh, the country road at the farther end
It runs up hill and down,
Away from the woods and the rippling,
brook.
To the tolling, rushing town;
But, lest of it all, when you're tired and
sick
Of the weary haunts of men.
If you follow it back. It will lead yoq
home
To the woods and fields again.
rVT THE LAST MOMENT.
THERE are still people wtio talk;
of Wellington and 1815, but It is
now generally understood that
the real battle of Waterloo take place;
every Saturday morning at the station
of that name, when the special trains
start for South Africa. It is a desper
ate stnik'K'Ie while it lasts, and the uni
formed men have an exceedingly warm
time of It, but they hare always con
quered before, and this encourages and
gives them enthusiasm. Mr. John
Bmrte the name was on the leather la
bel of his single portmanteau Mr.
John Bote, down in good time before
the real tussle began, looked on with
Interest. He was a tall, reserved-looking
man, with a short beard and the
brown complexion that comes to men
who have looked at the South African
KUIl.
"No one to see me off," said John
Reste. (A short mother was stepping
on tiptoe to kiss a burly youth, and I :e
sight gave him thoughts.) "Of course
there U no one to see me off," be com
tiuuod arst:ni'ntatlvely. "Why should
there be?"
Mr. John Beste placed his portman
teau in the corner of a first-class com
partment, and lnujrhed a little bitterly
at hU grumbled soliloquy. A light
touch on his arm made Mm wheel
round. The sound of a soft voice made
him flush.
"Mr. Baste:"
"Miss Lanjrham! Are you here to
say good-by to me?"
"That was the idea," said the young
woman, brighrly. "I suppose there are
others. How long before your train
goes?"
"About twenty minutes, Miss Lang
ham." "Only twenty minutes. I am sorry
that you are going so quickly. And
"you will see Mr. Charterhouse, I sup
pose" she stepped aside to avoid a
Juggernaut trolley of luggage "as soon
as you arrive?" she resumed.
"I .can't possibly avoid that. Is Mrs,
Lang-ham here?"
"My aunt does not know that I have
come down. Did you want to see her,
Mr. Beste?"
"Her presence," he said, gravely, "is
not indispenaable to my happiness."
"I'm afraid that you are Inclined to
be a little unjust to her. You don't
knomv her as well as I do, Mr. Beste."
"That Is so. But Mrs. Langham has
made a confidant of me during the time
that I have been heTe, and well, I
think I understand her."
"Tout comprehend e'est tout par
donner." quoted the young lady.
'Not in every case."
"I should like to knw what you
talked alRMit. It occurred to me at din
ner last nljrlit that "
"Upon my word. Miss Iangham, 1
have half a mind to tell you."
"Half a mind Is plenty, Mr. BeMe. I
have a special reason for wanting to
know. My dear aunt has not always
the bt tact In the world."
"That," he said, dryly, "occurred to
me."
"Wps it of me that she was talking,
t wonder? Was I the object?"
"It was of you," he said,
"And my aunt said?"
"Am I bound to answer these ques
tions, my lord T
A band of Jewish financial gentlemen
came along the crowded platform,
forming an entourage to some import
ant individual In their center. With
the enterprise of their race, they forced
the other passengers aside, and Mr.
John Boete and Miss Langham were
soparated In the commotion.
"You are bound," said the young
Portia, returning, "to answer all the
questions that are put to you for the
-net fifteen minutes."
Mr. I-angham," said Mr. John
Be-rt-e, shifting his rug from one arm to
the other, and bending a little closer to
the bewildering hat and the charming
face that it selfishly attempted to bide,
"Mrs. Iangh&in was extremely anxious
that I should convey certain informa
tion to Mr. Charterhouse. As ru.inujrer
to Mr. Charterhouse's valuable mine,
Mrs. l.angham seems to have thought
that I should be a valuable what shall
I say? a valuable fellow conspirator."
"k on." she said, quickly and with
great concern.
"I wonder whether you can guess
what I am going to say?"
"I hope I am not guessing rightly. It
Is too terrible:"
"Mrs. Laugham was good enough to
say that for anything I could say to my
my master, Mr. Charterhouse, that
would assist the object she had In view,
I should be well repaid. This was, of
course, very generous of your aunt."
"k on, Mr. Beste."
The rime was flying. Passengers
were setrtiutr down In their compart
ments, and at every window was a
bunch of heaiis. There were tears, too,
because some of those on the platform
parents saying good-by to sons, and
wives saying adieu to husbands were
sufficiently old-fashioned to possess
emotions.
"And what I had to do was this: Mr.
Oharterhouse is, as you know, a bach
elor." "Mr. Charterhouse may be an old
maid for all I know or care," she said,
hotly.
"And I I was to use my Influence
with Charterhouse which is, I admit,
xmwklerable to induce him to come

"Au l buy her, I suppose," she ex
rlaimed. trembling with exeiteaient,

"I think," he said, apologetically,
"that your aunt Is very anxious that

"These good marriages are 1 bad

"He saw yon once, I think, when jot

"I beg of you, Mr. Beste, to do tbli

"Thank yon."
"And," he went on, with mnething
of a hurry In his manner, "I snail think

Now that you have told me this, I shall
look back upon this visit to England as
one of absolute delight"
"And and you wlQ earn back

He waited a moment.
"I wonder Whether I might write to

"I think," she said, looking up with 1
pUased expression, "that there la no
law against that"
"I was afraid you would consider It
an Impertinence on my part"
"You find that I do not"
"There is something else to explain,",
he said, awkwardly. "I have been
here, to some extent In disguise. I
think, perhaps. I had better write and
ell you all about t"
"There are still five minutes," she,
said, looking at the tiny gold watch on
her wrist "Why not tell me now I"
"I suppose," he said, with some ners
rousneas, "that under no circumstances
would you marry Mr. Charterhouse?"
"Under no circumstances," replied
Miss Langham, decldely.
"He Is very rich," he remarked, "and
( happen to know that he "
"I desire, said the young woman,
with much spirit, "1 desire not to hear
Mr. Charterhouse's name again."
"Your mind Is quite made up?"
"Quite!"
A porter stood patiently at the door
of the compartment holding K open for
the passenger to South Africa.
("There's nothing like a young en
gaged couple," said the acute porter
to himself, "for making trains late.
They don't care.")
"But suppose I were to tell you," he
said, taking her hand and holding it
"that Mr. Charterhouse, who was a
poorlsh man until three years ago,
when this mine was found oa his prop
erty, has been in England lately? Sup
pose I were to tell you that be has
fallen In love with you '
"Even that does not concern me, Ms
Bte."
"And supposing I were to tell you
that, to avoid being pestered by finan
cial people, and to see the little school
girl who has grown so tall and so so
charming, he preferred to call himself,
not Mr. Charterhouse, the owner of the
West End Mine, but Mr. Beste, the
manager of "
"That," said Miss Langbam, her
breath coming quickly, "would make
all the difference."
The porter Jerked his bead toward
the compartment, to hint to his client
that moments were valuable. ' The
client had no need of this intimation,
for he knew better than the porter how
very precious the moments were.
-Do you really mean that?" he asked
quickly.
"I never say things I don't mean, Mr.
B.ste I mean, Mr. Charterhouse." Sue
laughed a little nervously. "I shall al
ways think of you as Mr. Beste."
"But will you always think of me?
May I come back here in three months,
time and ask you formally "
"Now, then, sir," said the porter,
"you'll go and lose the special, that's
what you'll do."
"I mustn't do that, my man. Good-by,
Eva. I must take my seat, I suppose."
He stepped into the compartment.
and the porter, shutting the door, re
ceived a tip that made him whistle with
delight.
"And you won't give me an answei
now, then?" be went on, anxiously. "1
wish there was time to persuade you,
dear, to say 'yes.' But I suppose I
must wait until I return, and we must
talk it over then, and I must try to in
duce you "
"I think," said Eva Langham, looking
up, and drawing her gray veil carefully
up from her Hps, "I think that consid
ering how very badly you have be
haved, the wisest thing you can do la
to is to kiss me."
There was Just time.
"And that means 7" be said, delight
edly. "It means," she said, "that I am very,

PLATE GLASS.
Ireat Care a ad Skill Beqoired in Its
Manufacture.
A visit to a plate glass works reveals
lothlng perhaps more interesting than
.he casting tables on which the heavy
,late glass used in most store windows
cast.
"The casting tables," said the Super-,
ntendent of a large New York plate,
lass factory to a Star reporter recent
ly, "are the most important pieces of
ipparatus in this establishment Each
table is about 20 feet long. 16 feet
wide, and from 7 to 8 Inches thick.
The heavy strips of iron on either side
3f the tables afford a bearing for the
rollers and determine the thickness or
diameter of the glass to be cast
"The rough plate is commonly nin
sixteenths of an inch thick, but aftel
polishing it Is reduced to six or seven
sixteenths. All casting tables are
mounted on wheels which run on a
track made to reah every furnace and
annealing oven in the factory. The
table having been wheeled as near as
possible to the melting furnace, a poYj
f molten glass is lifted by 'means of.
a crane, and its contents poured thlck-l
ly out on the table. A heavy Iron roller
then passes from end to end, spreading
the glass to a uniform thickness. This
rolling operation has to be dene by ex
pert hands quickly, as the boiling glass,
when it comes in contact with the cold
metal of the table cools very rapidly.

NO "WOMAN IS EXEMPT.
Regularity is a matter of importance
in every woman's life. Much pain is,
however, endured In the belief that it
is necessary and not alarming, when
in truth it is all wrong and indicates
derangement that may cause serious
trouble.
Excessive monthly pain itself will
unsettle the nerves and make women
old before their time.
The foundation of woman's health is
a perfectly normal and regular per
formance of nature's function. The

in every city, town and hamlet in this

The Little Girl's Version.
A tiny girl of 7 or thereabouts gave
i dinner party the other day, for which
fwelve covers were laid, and that num-
' ser of small maidens sat down to dine.
! It was a real little girl's dinner, and the
! lttle hostess herself presided, sitting at
:he head of the table. But she was
inxlous, in looking forward to it, to
. to everything as it should be done.
"Mamma," she asked, "shall we say
raceV"
"No," said mamma, 'It will be a very
nformal dinner, and I think you need
lot do that."
That meant one less ceremony to be
tone through and was a relief, but the
lttle lady was anxious to hare all ber
imall guests understand It So, as they
were gathered about the table, she ex
tlalned: "Mamma says this is such an Infernal
Unner that we need not have grace to-

Almost all loose habits are contra ct-
, al without effort. 4 first they might
be easily dropped: but persisted in,
they become second nature. Stop and
think before you form them. Disagree
able habits of the body, scowling, twist
ing the month, biting the nails, contin
ually picking at something, drumming
with the fingers, screwing and twisting
in a chair or whatever you can lay
hands on do not acquire any of these
thing. Learn to sit at ease, like a
gentleman, I was going to aay; but I
am afraid even women fall Into such
tricks sometimes.
Of course, there are worse habits
than these habits which become vices;
habits which convert good men Into bad
one. But I am now speaking of very
little things, which are only annoying
when they are persisted in.
There are habits, too, of speech, with
"you see," or "you know," "now-a,"
"why-a," "sea he," "tell me now," etc.
Indistinct utterances, sharp tones, a
slow drawl. Avoid them all. Stop and
think what you wish to say, and then
let every word drop from your lips
clearly and distinctly.
Have a care about your manner of
walking, sitting and standing. Before
you know It, you will find your careless)
habits have hardened into a coat of
mail, of which you cannot rid yourself
without much trouble. If you do not
rid yourself of It the time will come
when you cannot help perceiving that
your society Is no longer sought for by
former friends; for the majority of peo
ple do not care to be bored by the pe
culiarities of their neighbors.

In the Century Mr. John Sidney Webl

although his name happens to be Leroy
Na)oleon. McQuesten ha been then
for over twenty-five year, engaged In
trading with the Indians for furs, and
keeping a store either for himself 0!
for the Alaska Commercial Company)
and as such he has come In contact
with almost every man who has been In
that country. He has probably support
ed, outfitted, and grub-staked mort
men, and kept them through the long
cold winters when they were down on
their luck and unable to obtain supplle
or help from any one else, than any
person knows except himself and th
company. Hundreds of men to-day
own rich claims, and are reckoning up
their thousands, when. If It bad not
been for a credit given them and good
allowed them by Jack McQuesten, they
would still be tolling amid the mosqul
tos for a living. He has done all thi
from kindness of heart, without any
selfish motive whatever; for if he had
been exacting, or hail demanded even
the share which he would have been en
titled to on a grub-stake agreement h
would rjrobablv be to-dav one of th
; ,chest mrn in that country, which
means a very rich man In any country

"Here, Jim, take these two cakes, and
give the smaller one to your brother."
James examined the cakes carefully,
appeared undecided, and finally took
heroic bite out of one of them, which
he passed over to his brother with the
remark: "There, Tommy, I've made you
a smaller one; they were both the sam
else."

not a first-class one either. But h
was one of the world's greatest sol

. Klondyke Clean-Cp.
In the Century John Sidney Webl
lescrlbes "The River Trip to the Klont
like." In telling of his visit to the EU
Dorado mines, the author says: The)
ilulce-boxee are made of boards, ma-J
nine or ship sawed, and roughly nailed
rp Into troughs or boxes, and fitted to
rether like stovepipes. Cleats are nail
I dlnto the last boxes, called "riffles,"
r, in some Instances, shallow auger
loles are bored into the bottom boards,
rhe boxes are then set up In line on a
tentle slope, and the pay dirt is shovel
id In at the top, and a stream of water,
controlled by a dam, sluices over the
lirt and gold. The weight of gold is so
rreat that It falls, and the dirt and use
ess gravel washes off, the gold being
aught upon the cleats or In the holes
icattered about - In the last boxes
lulcksllver is put In to catch the very
lne gold. When the gold is taken from
lie boxes It Is called 1 "clean-up." On
he day I was there (Aug. 17), at No.
10 El Dorado twenty thousand dollars
ras "cleaned up" in twenty-four hours,
vlth only one man shoveling In the
lirt. Such wonderful results may
nean, however, months of expensive
irork; but "when It comes, it coines
lulck," as the saying Is among the mln
tra. A True Wind flower.
It la said that a flower has been found
In South America which Is visible ouly
when the wind Is blowing. The shrub
belongs to the cactus family, and 1
about three feet high, with a crook a I
the top. When the wind blows a num
ber of beautiful flowers protrude from
attle lumps on the stalk.
Seaweed Is Nutritions.
Seaweed, though not the diet for an

meal or Indian corn in nitrogenous con
itituents, and takes rank among th
moat nutrious of vegetable foods.
Politeness in Animals.
Anyone that has observed the ways
tt animals must have noticed how
bany even insignificant little creatures
save very good manners. You may
iblnk it strange that an animal can give
lessons In politeness; but, after all, po
liteness Is necessary In a community,
ind the animals that live and labor to
rether, that lead any sort of social life;
lave to be considerate of one another's
!eelings. Ton cannot be sociable and
telflsh. both.
Have you never seen a number of
ints working to move a large morsel of
busd to their larder) It would be ner-
! lectly absurd for one ant to try to lug
tway the delicacy by himself, and h
las sense enough not to attempt it. In
itead, he calls as many of his friends as
he can, and they all work with a will,
rhere Is no disorderly Jostling or quar
reling, because that would Interfere
rlth tbe accomplishment of their pur
pose. They politely help one another
tor the common good.
Of course, ants, we may say, belong
to one family, and It Is only natural that
they should be polite. Many animal
ire polite to others that are not of thelt
I pedes. A little girl friend of our waa
lately i --h distressed by th leas oi
ker pet cat. For several weeks nothing
aas heard oMhe cat. Then, one morn
tig, he appe'ied on the doorstep of his
, lome, and seemed so thankful to be
ataen in ana pertea mat n was suppov
rd he had been stolen and kept a prisv
ner.
After he bad been warmly welcomed
y his human friends, tbe fox terrier of
!he family rushed Into the room, show
ing that he had only just learned of tbe
rat's return. The scene that followed
ras the funniest you can Imagine. With
very demonstration of Joy, the little
log ran to the cat, and began licking
its face, as he might have licked hi
waster's band. All that day he never
wearied of showing the cat attention.
He waa Indefatlgably polite.
Very likely the two animals talked to
rack other in their language, which we
ire not clever enough to understand,
ind the dog sympathised with the try
Tig experience that his poor friend had
keen through. We dull human beings
lever found out where that cat had
j keen, or what he had suffered, but
Whether or not the dog understood, he
Ira kind and loving and polite to the
rat. and. In a few days, pussy seemed
ks happy as If he had not a care in th
World. All bis trouble were forgotten
inder tbe Influence of kind treatment

Do not mistake acquirement or mere

things must be digested and assimilat

not wisdom; knowledge is not neces
sarily vital energy. The student who
has to cram through a school or a col
lege course, who has made himself
merely a receptacle for the teacher's
thoughts and Ideas, Is not educated; he
has not gained much. lie is a reser
