SIR BRIAN'S FANCY.
IT was a boy who awoke her. He
rushed into the room and shouted
at her In the abrupt manner com
mon to small brothers:
"Molly, what do you think? Blr Brim
Rosymore is coming to dinner on Sat
urday." "You're Joking."
"No honor bright!"
"We'll go and look at him through the
window, Bobby."
"I shall, but you're to have a new
frock, made long, and go down to din
ner, because the Baronet saw you In
church last Sunday and told father yon
were very pretty. What are yon getting
so red for?"
"Did he really say he thought I was
pretty?" said the girl in a tone of
breathless delight "O, Bobby!"
For several months past Molly had
been agitating to have her dresses
lengthened, but as there were six girls.
and she was only the fourth, her moth
er hnl firmly refused to allow her to be
come grown up till some of her Bisters
wore disposed of by marriage.
Nature had not Intended Mrs. Thome
for a worldly woman, but necessity
was fast making her one. As the moth
er of nine children and the wife of a
struggling doctor she often found It
diillcijlt to make both ends meet
Molly donned her gown on the im
portant Saturday, and was escorted to
the door by her faithful ally. Bob. She
stopped short on the mat
"lie has come," she whttpered. "I
shnll never be able to go In."
"Nonsense!" said the boy, valiantly.
But Molly rw'used to make an entry,
till her brotker, whose patience was
soon exhausted, softly turned the han
dle and gave her a gentle push, which
had the effect of lurching her into the
middle of the room in a most undigni
fied way.
Her face (lamed scarlet she could
feci all eyes fixed upon her In the great
est astonishment, then her mother's
voice, fnintly reproachful, said:
"Sir Brlnn, this Is my daughter, Siar
garet" Perhaps the Baronet saw that the
girl was unaccustomed to society and
pitied her. He rarely spoke to her dur
ing the evening, although his eyes rest
ed on her face with evident admiration.
Bi't when they met by chance the
next morning In the vilage street he
turned and walked beside her.
She was not so shy now that no
watchful eyes were there to note her
Eoleclsms, and It was astonishing how
easy she found it to talk to this good
looking young follow with the kindly
eyes.
The Thornes saw a great deal of Sir
Brian after that. Almost every day he
found some excuse to call, and the girl
grew to look forward to his coming,
and to feel absurdly disappointed If he
failed to put In an appearance.
"lie must care for the child, else why
Is he here so often?" Mrs. Thorne said
in confidence to her husband.
"My dear," he answered, "I shouldn't
build too much on it If I were you. It's
too good to be true."
But Molly was allowed to go to the
dance given by Lady Conyers.
Brian met them at the head of the
stairs on the eventful evening, and In
troduced them to his aunt
The night passed all too quickly, and
It was already late when, feeling rather
tired, she seated herself beside' her
mother.
"Ready to go home, dear?" Mrs.
Thorne inquired.
"After this next dance, mother," 6he
said, looking at the Baronet's Illegible
scrawl on her program.
Suddenly Lady Conyers' voice In con
versation with some one became audi
ble from the other side of a clump of
palms.
"Preposterous, my dear Mrs. Craig."
she said. "Brian Is engaged at least
he will be when we return to town
shortly to Lucie Mnddox. lie's simply
amusing himself, as usual. lie Is such
a dreadful flirt"
Mrs. Thorne turned to the girl. She
had whitened to the lips; her brow was
burning, her hands were Icy cold.
"O. mother!" she murmured, "take
me home."
"Molly, what have I done?"
"Hush!" she cried. "You have no
right to call me that!"
"Then give me the right; there Is
nothing I desire more."
"How dare you tell me so when yon
are engaged to another woman? Let
me pass, sir. at once!"
"Not till you have explained your
words. Another woman? What on
earth do you mean?"
"You pretend you don't know," she
cried. 1-a- childish voice trembling with
Indignation, "and I heard your aunt
rty last night that you were going to
narry Miss Maddux."
"My aunt must have been tempor
ally forgetful of the fact that her pet
Ireani was not a reality when she
xiade such a ridiculous assertion. You
Selleve me, don't you?"
Apparently she did, for half an hour
iater they walked In together, radiant
with happiness, and a ring was flash
ing on her left hand.
Bobby's lock of surprise at the news
ras explain during the day by a
?lece of advice he gave them, which, al
though It proved useful in the future,
:overed the girl with confusion and
lent Brian Into fits of laughter.
"I say, Molly," the boy said gravely,
"I shouldn't make love In the orchard
1 I were you, because any one can see
rou from the schoolroom window."

started for the school, often feeling
very much Injured because the daj

foot-ball, tho Zulu boy, without anj
breakfast is sent out into his father'i
field, where the crops are growing.
The work assigned to him there doei
not in the least resemble any choref
that a boy might find to do here, foi
It consists in chasing away the mon
keys and baboons which come out ol
the forest and prowl about with de
signs on the ripening pumpkins and
other fruits. This Is lively work, foi
monkeys are notably quick In theli
movements, and unless the youngsteri
are on the alert the monkeys pounce
upon their booty and carry it away
under the boys' noses.
At other times of the year It Is not
the baboons but the birds that must
be kept from the ripening grain. Aftei
a morning of such lively exercise the
boys are ravenous for their noon meal
tho first food that Is given them during
the day, for they only eat twice 1b
twenty-four hours and not so much at
an afternoon tea between times.
The whole aim of a Zulu boy's train
ing Is to make him a dauntless and vic
torious warrior. This being the case,
the most Important of their games If
one In which they learn to throw sharp
ened sticks with skill. It la played as
follows: One of their number ascends
a small hill while the others, with theli
sticks in their hands, range themselvet
In a row down tho side. The lad at tht
top then throws past the boys with all
his force the huge, soft bulb of a large
African lily. This bulb Is a foot In
diameter, and as It goes by the first
boy he flings his stick at it If he falls
to pierce It the next boy, quick as light
ning, throws, too, and If he falls, the
next one tries It, and so on until one of
them sends his stick Into the heart of
the bulb, and 89 a reward he is allowed
to go higher in the line, displacing the
boy above him.
Though they consider It a great hard
ship to be obliged to chase the birds
from their father's crops, the boys will
pursue them from bush to bush and
from tree to tree, until they actually
tire their game out when they knock
the birds on the head and kill them. If
a Zulu boy were told to put salt on a
bird's tall he would not find It such a
very difficult feat
When the young Zulu has become
tired or heated from other sports he
runs to the nearest river, info wh'eh
he dives. It Is not necessary for him
to stop to take off his clothes, because
he never wears any, and at such a
time he must find it very convenient
Zulu boys have been In the water so
much from their very Infancy that
they seem almost as much at home In
It as the fish themselves. Many of
their strokes In swimming differ great
ly from ours, and they are able to make
headway against the swiftest and
strongest river currents. This is very
necessary, because the South African
rivers all flow swiftly and there are
few opportunities for still-water bath
ing. They are especially proud of the
length of time that they are able to re
main underneath the water, nnd they
learn to swim with the shoulders. They
do not use their arms at all, but simply
call Into play the powerful muscles
of their little backs. Chicago Inter

Cured the Cough.'
A Devonshire woman of mature age
went Into a chemist's shop and said to
the assistant:
"I've cot a cruel bad cough, surely.
I've heerd that the bronchial troches

Tho assistant pointed to a small box
on the table, and said:
"Yes, there they are."
"How much Is it?" was the inquiry.
The price was paid, and the old wom

assistant missed a box of glycerine soap
(three cakes). A couple of days after
wards she returned to the shop, and

ST0MES OF RELIEF.
Two Letters to Mrs. Mnlrham
Mrs. Jobs Wimjamb, English town,
N. J., writes:
" Dkab Mas. Pin" kit am: I cannot be
gin to tell you bow I suffered before
taking your remedies. I waa so weak
that I could hardly walk across the floor
without falling. I bad womb trouble
and such a bearing-down feeling ; also
suffered with my back and limbs, pain
in womb. Inflammation of the bladder,
pilca and indigestion. Before I had
taken one bottle of Lydla E. Pinkham'a
Vegetable Compound I felt a great deal
better, and after taking two and one
half bottles and half a box of yonr
Liver Pills I was cured. If more would
take your medicine they would not
have to suffer so much."
Mrs. Joseph Peterson, 513 East St,
Warren, Pa., writes: -- -
"Dkab Mrs. Piskhav: I have suf
fered with womb trouble over fifteen
years. I had inflammation, enlarge
ment and displacement of the womb.
I had the backache constantly, also
headache, and was so dizzy. I had
heart trouble, it seemed as though my
heart was in my throat at times chok
ing me. I could not walk around and
I could not lie down, for then my heart
would beat so fast I would feel as
though I was smothering. I had to
sit up in bed nights in order to breathe.
I was so weak I conld not do any
thing. "I have now taken several bot
tles of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, and used three pack
ages of Sanative Wash, and can say
I am perfectly cured. I do not think

lie was a man of many peculiar char

remembrance by the people of Kan

Adolph Sutro was born sixty eight
years ago In Prussia of Jewish parents,
lie came to the United States in 15vi0,
when the gold fever was nt Its lu-lght,
and was lured with countless others to
tbe shores of tbe PaclUc. It was not
long after that the great Conistock lode
began to turn out Its millions and at
tracted the attention of the world. The
mines soon got down so deep that there
appeared to be no way to drain them,
and the heat was so Intense from lack
of ventilation that the miners could not
work. Sutro, who had studied engi
neering, conceived the scheme of con
structing an enormous tunnel under the
lode which should connect tbe shafts
and relieve them. lie got capitalists to
back him up, and In October, 1ST8, a
tunnel twelve feet wide, ten feet high,
and with its branches over five miles
long had been completed. It proved a
success. The mining companies, bow
ever, refused to share revenues with
the tunnel company. Sutro therefore
closed the tunnel and brought every
body to terms, as the lode could not be
worked without using It

Francisco to buy so much of the "out
side lands" of the city that he owned
one twelfth of the entire acreage of tbe
city proper.
In 1894 Sutro ran for Mayor of San
Francisco and was elected. In spite of
tho fact that the newspapers and all
the big corporations and politicians
.were against him. After his term as
Mayor his mind began to fall and for
months had been a blank. The last
years of his life hnd been embittered
by family quarrels, and It Is possible
that the settlement of his estate, which
amounts to about $5,000,000, will cause

Statea Is now not only at the head of
all other countries, but so far at the

practically ceased to be any serious
comDetltion except in respect to the
supplies sold by certain European coun
tries to their colonies, inreunu
fw markets of the world, wkhout re
strictions established by governments,
tbe United States is the great source
of supply.
The importance of the business car
ried on both at home and abroad by the
United State manufacture of. farming
IniDlements Is shown by the figures of
the last Federal census of 1800. There
were at that time, approximately, l.ow
manufactories of agricultural lmple-
menta in the United States, tbe amount
Invested In this line of manufacture Do
ing nearly $150,000,000, the average
number of persons employed In It being
45.000, the materials used averaging in
value $30,000,000 and the output ?siv
000,000. Since the summer or ltnw tns
American trade In agricultural imple
ments has been subjected to a marked
prostration. The export trade or tne
country In agricultural Implements has
continued large and has even In
creased: '
1803 (fiscal rear) $4,057,000
1804 (fiscal year) O.O.UOU
1805 (fiscal year) 5,410.000
1800 (fiscal year) o.KO.ow
1S07 (fiscal year) 5,240,000
The Argentine Republic has been the
chief customer of tbe United States In
this Item of manufacture, and the
South American countries and West
Indies have been customers to a small
er extent But while the foreign mar
ket has continued, the home market for
American agricultural products has
been curtailed greatly, in consequence
of the failure of some crops, tbe dimin
ished prices for cereals, the accumula
tion, West and South, of mortgages,
and the contraction of credit to farm
ers, who, as a rule, buy their agricul
tural machinery on credit, payments
being predicated on the success of the
crops and of paying prices for them.
As a result of the agricultural depres
sion In tbe West In 1803, 1804, 1805 and
lSitfl, It Is hardly too much iO say that
tho farming implements used during
the past five years In the United States
have been literally wearing out. The
large concerns have been carrying their
customers on credit, and with large
debts outstanding, the farmers, gener
ally speaking, have been awaiting the
return of better times and better prices.
The favorable conditions of a year ago
were not without their effect on this
branch of business, and those of this
year are being reflected in the enlarged
market for farming machinery, reap
ers, threshers, plows, rakes, binders,
scythes and harrows.
At the head of the States of the coun
try in the volume of its manufacture of
agricultural implements is Illinois,
with an Invested capital of nearly $00,-
000,000. Ohio follows, then New York
and then Wisconsin. Ohio supplies
most of the Southern market of de
mand and New York the Middle and
Eastern States. Ot recent years Cali

At first sight a Cuban of the well-to-
do class seems to be nothing but hair.
eyes and shirt collar, says the West
minster Gazette. But on nearer view
you discover him to possess exceed
ingly refined features, often of great
beauty and regularity. A coarse-featured
Ciilvan endowed with a superflu
ity of flesh Is unknown. The Cuban's
figure emulates the skeleton dude's, It
Is so slender. lie has spindle legs, arms
like sticks and a torso like a crane s.
Ills chest Is narrow, his shoulders are
angular, and he stoops, which In his
case Is no sign of lung delicacy or stu
dious habits. Ills complexion Is a clear
olive. You never meet a Cuban who
looks fatuous, or who has eyes that are
not brimful of Intelligence.
They are as fond of Jewelry and
finery as women. They squeeze their
naturally small feet Into smaller boots.
They wear extravagantly high or low
collars and gorgeous neckties. Lately
they have been wearing trousers of
such roomy dimensions that they flop
about their thin logs like sails; whereas
a year or two ago they wore them as
tight as eelsklns. But tbe piece de re
sistance the crowning glory of a Cu
ban male toilet Is the hat. In spite of
the tropical climate. It Is Invariably
black, shiny, hard and narrow, like a
chimney-pot turned upside down.
A Cuban flaneur Is capable of sport

frock coat and white cravat Born in

expectation of coming In for a sugar
plantation, or, at any rate, relying on
support from wealthy relations, the av
erage gilded youth of Cuba regards It
as his metier to ornament the tropics
and gracefully to kill time. lie covers
his soft, thin hands with rings spark
ling with precious stones. His nails
are long and cut In points, after the
fashion of Chinese aristocrats. When
you meet a Cuban going to the station
there Is always a negro boy behind,

Men who are always in a hurry, and most men
are want a soap for the toilet that will lather quickly and
free'lv in hot or cold water. Other soaps than ivory
may have this quality, but will likely contain alkali
which is injurious to the skin. Ivory Soap is made of
pure vegetable oils, no alkali; produces a white foamy
lather, that cleanses thoroughly and rinses easily and
quickly. Money cannot buy a better soap for the toile-

THE PARPEN OF SPAIN.
Tropical Bhoraa and Wlnd-owept In
terior of the Land of the Don.
Along the Mediterranean shore Spain
presents a narrow ribbon of fertile, de
lightful country, says a writer In the
North American Review. The region
Is often called the garden of Spain, and
Its Inhabitants are active and indus
trious. In the province of Valencia,
from the city, of the same name to Ali
cante, garden follows close upon gar
den. Here are grown wheat, wine
grapes, raisins, oranges, dates and
olives. In these regions irrigation Is
successfully practiced. The greater
part of the water of the short coast
streams Is thus employed. Little
rain falls, and what does come Is
dreaded because of the violence of the
storms and the damage done by floods
to the Irrigation reservoirs.
It Is a great contrast to pass from
these tropical shores to the wind-swept
plains of Interior Spain. The level
country, Inclosed by the Guadarrama
and the Cantabiian mountains, forms
In the west an extensive wheat grow
ing region. Toward the east, as the
rainfall decreases, pasturage en
croaches upon arable culture. In New
Cnstlle, on the south of the Guadarra
ma and In about the center of Spain,
the poUtlcal capital has been placed.
The level country In which it has been
dropped, as If by accident Is for the
most part a waterless plain, swept In
winter by the piercing winds from the
naked mountains of the north, swelter
ing In summer from the effect of the
sun's rays on bare rock and soil. The
climate of Madrid has been tersely de
scribed by its Inhabitants as "three
months of winter and nine months of
heU."

The Strand Magazine tells an n mus
ing anecdote- of a well-known Edin
burgh professor, who Is both methodi
cal and absent-minded.
' Professor W. is accustomed to tnko a
dally walk with another old professor,
when they discuss matters quite be
yond the comprehension of ordinary
mortals.
One day, when the walking was ex
ceedingly bad, rrofessor W. was on hia
way to the corner at which ho and his
friend always met, when he encounti-r-cd
a young student whose face he rec
ognized dimly, having soon It every day
for several weeks in tbe class-room. He
accordingly balled his pupil, who tras
wading through the mud to get across
the street
"Have you seen Trofessor S.?" he
asked.
"Yes, sir," replied the student, paus
ing respectfully In the midst of a mud
puddle to remove his cap. "He Is at the
corner lielow, waiting for yon."
"Good, very good!" rcsjtonded the
professor, looking over his spectacles
with his class-room air when well
pleased with a student "I thank you.
You may be seated."

It Is doubtful If there Is any man who
has not at some time In his life been a

The man who has lived only for him

There can be no true and abiding

and grounded In faith.
