. MIOM INTENT.
A steadfast high intent la bankable
On this or any other plane.
A fiendish motive, fonnd at last, will tell
The criminal, and prore him sane.
'TIS the red fury in the very blood
That cirea the color to our life.
And the intent, whlcheTer, bad or good.
Begeta the broods of lore or strife.
- Happy for us, if we can, fold by fold.
Unwrap God's universe, aud see
Where refnse only is, and where the gnli.
And which ia best for you and uie?
If there might early dawn on oar dall
eyea
The sweet repose of boundless hope,
80 that the soul serene might realise
Its wondrous destiny and scope?
If its enormous claims would early fire
The high chWalric sense of right.
And marry this to wisdom, we might Utc
Empurpled in the robes of might.
And thus, with quenchless faith in noble
things.
And the infinitude of good.
Our high intent will spread its heavenly
wings.
And mount where whitest saints hare
stood.
Then we ahail herd no more with mur
muring ones.
But cut the sinews of our grief.
And hearken to the sweet inspiring tones
Of an enrapturing belief.
And lire, with room enough for self-de
nial.
And trust enough for each event.
And God enough to cheapen every trial
And glorify our high intent.

I A CLEVER MAKE-UP.
ENRY APFS. of Hoxton, com
pleted the fixing of the wires on
the lawn of Haslelgh Court. He
looked up at the dim light In the dressing-room,
and chuckled softly as be
bent the last yard of wire.
"A trip in time," says Mr. Apps,
"wives nine."
"lie threw the rope ladder gently In
the'alr. and at the first effort it caught
the projecting nalL
"Once on board the lugger," quoted
Mr. Apps, facetiously, as be mounted
the rope ladder, "and the girl la mine."
He opened the window very gently
and soon stood inside the dressing
room. Near the table in the corner of
the room was an Iron safe.
"Well, I'm Jiggered," exclaimed Mr.
Appa. He loosened the fiapa of bis fur
cap and mopped his brow with the
back of his hand. "Well. I'm Jiggered!
If they 'aven't been and left the key
In for me. I might bare saved myself
. a lot of trouble If I'd a knowed."
Mr. Apps swung open the heavy door
of the safe and listened to the music
downstairs. Young Lady Stjileliu:i t
was giving (as Mr. Apps nry we.i
knew) a dance, a fancy drsj dance, on
her return from the continent, after her
term of widowhood.
"I'll Just see first of all," he said,
"that the coant Is absolutely clear, and
. then then for a bagful."
Henry Apps stepped out into the
broad passage. He slouched, with bis
Jimmy sticking out of his capacious
side pocket, a few -steps toward the
stairs. Suddenly a girlish figure turned
the corner.
"Bless my 'art!" cried Mr. Appa.
""Why," how do you do?" said the
young lady, stepping forward. She gave
a, soft laugh that was very pleasant.
"This la really delightful. Do you
know, I recognize yon In spite of the
costume?"
She held the hand of Mr. Appa for a
moment, causing that gentleman to
(asp for breath, and calling one of the
aaids.
"Just bring me a pencil and a card,"
be said. "I must arrange for a carriage
to take Captain Norman back to his
hotel In the morning. I wasn't sure that
be would come."
"I can walk," remarked Mr. Apps,
With restored self-possession.
"I won't hear of It When shall we
ay, now?"
"Say In an hour's time." said Mr.
Api. "I can go upstairs again alone,
Change my togs aud do all I want to."
"And can't you stay longer?"
She gave the card to the maid and or
dered It to be dispatched at once.
"I've got a busy night before me,"
cored Mr. Apps, excuslngly. He thought
mt his dog waiting on the lawn, and
feared It might give an Inopportune
bark. Besides, the safe was still open
sad the diamonds were waiting for him.
Be had noticed with satisfaction that
Lady Staplehurat was wearing none.
"You were always an active man,
Captain."
"Always a-dolng something," agreed
Mr. Apps. "If ft Isn't one thing it's an
other." He shook his bead reflectively.
"I often wonder I don't write a book
about It all."
"I don't believe you will know any
body here. Captain Norman," she said,
as they walked downstairs, "but I
couldn't help sending you a card, seeing
how friendly we were on Peshawur.
Do you remember those evenings en
eleck In the Bed Sear'
She was really a very fine young
woman, and In her costume she looked
extremely well.
"Do I not?" said Mr. Apps, with mocb
fervor. "Shall I ever forget 'em?"
"And then the Journey from Brlndlst,
you know, and that funny little Ger
. man you remember him?"
"He was a knockout, that German
was."
"And the girt who played the banjo,
and "
"It was great," agreed Mr. Apps
"great."
The large ball-room was very full. A
mall covey of brightly dressed young
people flew toward the young hostess
to complain of her temporary absence
from the room, and a broad-shouldered
gondolier shook hands with her and
took up her card with something of an
air of proprietorship."
"I thought I bad left the key in the
excuse me." The young hostess took
back her card from the gondolier. "I
am engaged to Captain Norman. You
don't know him? Allow me."
"Pleased to meet you," said Henry
Apps.
" 'Ow's the world using you?"
"That's an original costume of yours.
Ca; i-iia Norman, remarked the gon
dolier. "I dou't know that I've ever

"Aud it la a capital make-up. Captain

thought you were a real burglar."
"Fancy that now!" said Mr. Appa,
ne was relieved at seeing an obvious
way out of his difficulty. "There's noth

"And." said Lady Staplehurat. with
her fan on his arm as they walked
across the room, "you have got the

She beckoned to the gondolier.
"Captain Norman and I are great
friends," she said In an explanatory
way. "He has not been long home from
abroad, and he knows scarcely any
one."
"Not a blessed soul," echoed My.
Apps.
"Isn't It capital?" asked Lady Staple
hurst of the gondolier, delightedly.
How much more Interesting It would
be if every one would make only talk

effort to Imitate the cockney's accent;
"blow me If this 'ain't a fair take I

you can."
"It's a gift." said Mr. Apps, that's
what It la."
"You doa't want to be Introduced to
anybody here, I suppose?"
"Not me."
"You have beard of " '
She pointed In the direction of the
gondolier.
"All I want to."
"He's really making a big name In
the house, you know. I watch his
career with great interest."
"Thinks a Jolly lot of himself."
"Oh. I think a lot or him, too," re
marked Lady Staplehurat, pleasantly.
"And is that a Jimmy sticking out of
your jacket pocket 1 xnis is, tnaeed,
realism. You don't know how It works,-
I suppose?"
"Well, I've got a kind of hides," said
Mr. Apps. "Look 'ere. You put this
end In and "
Mr. Apps found himself getting quite
excited In the explanation that he gave.
It was a new sensation to meet one
who showed an intelligent Interest in
his profession, and he could not help
feeling flattered. Looking up, he saw
the gondolier gazing at him.
"He don't look 'appy, that chap," said
Mr. Apps.
"Will you excuse me for one mo
ment?" "Wot are you going up tor" he said,
apprehensively.
"I want to speak to him."
"Oh!" (with relief) "I don't mind
that."
While Lady Staplehurat was making
the gondolier resume his ordinary ex-
1 ..stion Mr. Apps thought and thought,
The couple promenading after th
waltz looked curiously at him. J
"You are In the worst fix you wer

"you're a 'aving 'em on toast, you are
but you'lPbe glad to get upstairs agen.
You want them 'diamonds, that's wot
you want' Time means money to you,
'Enery."
Lady Staplehurat hurried toward thi
doorway. A murmur of amuse'men)
went through the room as the guestj
saw a new arrival In the costume of i
police constable, accompanied by a mal
in plain clothes. Mr. Apps, thlnklnj
over his exploits, gazing abstractedly
at his boots, regretting their want of
polish, did not see ftiem until the piatn
clothes man tapped him on the shoul

man.
"Yua," said the burglar, discontented

What a sight It made! Mamma felt

The twins had tired of play, and were
looking at pictures In the corner; each
had dragged a pillow from the sofa to
it on.
Mamma picked up Antoinette, the
ne-armed doll, but on second thought

So she aat down In the midst of con

Joe and Hi Little Do.
1 je teacher of a district school In
Maine tells a story that reminds one of
Mary and her little lamb, only it is of
Joe and bis little dog. ""
Joe was a boy about 8 years old, and
was devoted to a small, lank puppy.
Out of school hours boy and dog were
Inseparable, and Joe apparently could
not reconcile blmcelf to the necessity
of leaving the dog at home. For sev
eral mornings the teacher allowed the
puppy to remain at Joe's feet under the
desk.
Then there came a day when the
small dog could not be kept quiet, hut
frisked about to the delight of the
school and the dismay of the teacher.
"Joe.' she said, firmly, "you must
take that dog out."
Joe looked at her mournfully, but
:lcked up the pup. and with Its head
against his cheek started for the door.
The iKjy's feelings were evidently hurt,
hut he said nothing until he reached the
door, then giving the teacher a re
proachful look, with a pitying glance
toward the dog. he said slowly, "And

MALARIAL LORE.
Statements Made by aa Kxpert en the
Babject of Btoaqaltoea.
The man who kills a female mosqui
to Is a public benefactor according to
I'roressor A. Cell!, as quoted In the
Philadelphia Medical Journal. The
best time to destroy these carriers of
malaria-la In the spring. "For every
mosquito killed." says the malaria ex
pert, "there will be 200,000,000 less In
the following year If eggs are laid four
times, and 20.000.000,000 less when
eggs are laid five times." Petroleum
thrown upon the pools of stagnant
water where they lay their eggs de
stroys the young as soon as hatched,
the oil getting into their breathing ap
paratus when they come to the surface
for air. The expert warns persons sus
ceptible to malaria not to sleep In the
open air, but to remain Indoors at night
and In the early hours of the morning.
If the windows are open no light
should be lit to prevent the Ingress of
mosquitoes. Windows and doors
should be covered with netting.
If one Is obliged to be out at night
In a mosquito-malarious country, the
face and neck should be covered with
a veil and the hands with gloves. Tur
pentine, turpentine soap, lodoformj
menthol, and a paste of valerianic acid
are good chemical protectlves. Senor

Hasty Aboat Burying the Dead.
One night Chaplain Jones, of the
Texas, heard volley firing on the Cuban
coast, which was being guarded by the
blockading squadron, and was told that
marines were being landed from the
Marblehead. The next morning Captain
McCalla came alongside of the Texas
In his launch and announced that four
of his men had been killed, and that
there was still fighting. Chaplain Jones
then approached Captain I'hlllp and
said that he would like to go ashore
and look after the wounded and read
the services for the dead. Captain
Philip gave Instant permission, and the
chaplain prepared to go ashore with a
boatload of marines that was in charge
of a young lieutenant. As the worthy
chaplain clambered over the side of the
Texas the lieutenant looked up from
the boat and called out:
"Where arc you going?"
"Lieutenant," replied the chaplain,
"I am going to bury the dead."
"For goodness' sake, give us a chance
to get killed first," rejoined the officer.
"Lieutenant, I am going to bury the
dead that have already fallen," re
sponded the chaplain, whereupon the
lieutenant quickly replied:
"I beg your pardon, chaplain, I was
too hasty." Buffalo Express.

The test of equality, such as should
exist between man and wife, must be
applied to character, to Intellect, and
to taste. For example. It Is quite con
ceivable that a woman may be more
fortunately placed than the man with
whom she falls In love, that Lr mode
of life when under her father's roof
may be considerably more comforta
ble, or even luxurious, than the life
she can hope to live during the earlier
years of the married- state, and that
her pecuniary resources as her father's
daughter may seem to dwarf the la
come of her husband, and yet the real
Inequality between the pair. In later
years, msy take the form of wifely In
feriority. The husband, by his type of
character, b!s energy, his force of
mind, bis adaptability to work that
carries personal distinction, may rise to
a position which his wife msy fail to
adorn, to even to passably sustain. The
advance of the man may carry bim be
yond the woman, and so difficulties
may grow with the years. The only
safeguards against such results are to
be found In power and adaptability of
character. Intelligence, fine and recep
tive taste, snd general good sense.
Where these exist husbnnd and wife
willjdeveldp together. Woe to them l(
they do not! For love In a somewhat
