The humor spread all over my legs, back and arms, A Tout Ma»tt of Sores, twollen and Itching terribly, causing Intense pain if the skin was broken by scratching, and discharging constantly. It Is impossible to describe my suffering In those years of agony and torture. I spent Thousands of Dollars In tattle efforts to p>-t well, and was discour aged and ready to die. At this time I was unable to lie down iri bed, had to sit up all the time, and was unable to walk without crotches. I had to hold my arms away from my body, and had to have my arm«. back and legs bandaged by my faithful wife twicea day. "Finally a friend who was visiting at our house, urged me tn take llood's .Sarsaparilla. I began by taking half a teaspoonfnl. My Stomach IVas All Ovf of Order But the medicine soon corrccU-d this, and In six weeks 1 could see a change in the con dition of the humor which nearly covered my body. It was driven to the surface by the Sarsaparilla. the sor. f soon healed, and the scales fell on. I was soon able to give up bandages and crutches, and a happy man 1 was. I had been taking Hood's Harsaparilla for seven months; and since that time nearly two years, I have worn no bandages whatever and my legs and arms are sound and well. The Delight of myself arid wife at my recovery It Is Im possible to tell. To all my business friends in Boston and over the country, I recommend Hood's Sarsaparilla from personal experience." 8. G.

The very horses hung their heads as fliey stumbled along with their heavy loads. It was in the great city of the "world's fair," and I was then a mod est little womau in a literary way on one of the big newspapers. The ex citement attendant upon the work fas cinated inc. and, as I had always led a rollicking, jolly, bohemian life, I was in my element. I hud wandered about aimlessly for a greater part of the forenoon, finding nothing of interest, when I was sum moned back to the office by a fellow re porter whom I met on the street. I was betrinning to lose my temper. Everything had gone wrong that day. I lit.il awakened with a severe headache and the intense heat had aggravated it to such an extent that my b.-ain seemed to Ii •on fire. I had missed seeing Jack in the morning. Jack was tny sweet heart and he was going away that day to IK- gone ever so loug. 1 knew he was | obliged by business interests to leave at any cost, and so I carried with juc the consciousness that he had left with ! out saying good-by and that it was the first tine- in the five years that I hail known him. Musing iq this unpleasant way, I sv. nng open the portals of the great gray doors with much more energy , than a small woman should exhibit, to j find the editor, notwithstanding all tlie , heat , looking as fresh anil happy as the ' cool violets that used to blossom under the -.pre ad ing branches in the old home i of which I sometimes dreamed. It was refreshing, truly, and when ; he detaile d me to do a bit of work that | took me out into a country town my restlessness vanished, and I lieeamft once more rny happy self. I walked down to the station with lighter step, and armed with a tablet and other articles of journalistic war fare- I ensconced myself op the shady side of the car and relapsed Into a state ot delightful semi-unconsciousness. How long I remained thus I do not know, but I gradually became aware, with that indefinable iustinct with which one sometimes becomes pos sessed, that I was the object of n steady gaze. I raised my eyes, and as I did so an irresistible impulse impel!cd me to look across the aisle. Have you ever seen a den of snakes that writhe and cling with their bodies together, their hooded heads raised to strike, and those awful serpentine tongues darting in and out? Did you ever stand transfixed by the brilliancy of those glittering eyes? It was such a fascination that possessed mo. Yet ill the man's outward appearance there was nothing that should have repelled mo. On the contrary, I found myself uncon wlotwlr RrtmDrtufftiUpowerful physique the sinewy suppleness of his bcily, the finely shaped hand, with Its Rllstoulug 1 almond nalla, rind the general appear ance rind 1 that indicated the gentleman. lie was looking at me Intently and his eyes possessed a peculiar glitter that I had never seen in human cye§ before. As my glance met his he seemed about to rise and cOmo to me. t tried to break the spell. I could not until, after what seemed to me ages, the tralo shot under a bridge and the darkness Immediately surrounding closed out those bulls of Are with their red flashes. 1 sank down almost lifeless in my beat and placed my hands to my throb bing head. I tried to fancy it a hallu cination, but 1115- bettor sense predom inated. A thousand thoughts flashed over rrie and when the darkness cleared i!i i? r 1 I UJOHIIII AnotlT MK. tiway and I was once more In the day light, hy a mighty effort and without venturing another glance, I look a seat in a different purt of the car and re versed the cushion. In vain I tried to shake otf the impression. It was stronger than I, so I gave up trying and endeavored to reason away my fears. What had I to do with fear? Was it like me to be afraid'/ Where was the courage necessary for future under takings if I could be so distressed by a single pair of eyes in broad daylight? Itca.sonliig thus I reached my station and ordered a rapid drive to my des tination. Out of the car and away I felt l<ctt«r. I tried to think it was all a piece of folly, but I could not forget those terrible eyes, and I remember with what actual dread I looked into the face of the first person with whom I talked. As time passed I began to feel more myself, and as I dined just preparatory to my return I had shaken the feeling from me and could laugh at what I waa rlcaocd to term the fancies of a brain Vcrtaakcd aud heated. It wi»s late when I arrived in E , and after a stay of four or five hours it was Just gathering dusk. "Tho nlnklutf sun A mass of I/M and furxiln In th'; west— Th': flsecy clouds Were burjklbg down to r< »t." As I reached the depot an I heard in the distance the roar and rumble of the approaching home ward-bound train I wondered us it came In, snorting and shrieking like a thing of life, if we were not more than human, a race whose bruin could fashion such ponder ous tnuchlnery that a single stroke from one of the wheels would crush out of Its own creators all semblance of immunity. As 1 ascended the steps a tremor seized mo for which I could not ac count- It brought back tlie scenes of the day, but determining not to let this silly weakness get the better of mo I turned resolutely to my freshly cut magazine and soon became Interested in hidla scenes and Count Tolstoi's worn through Siberia and Knssla. I read until I grew tired and until the flickering lights In the car threw dancing shadows on my l»ook, when I turned my /ace wearily ami looked out of the. window. The heated flay had merged into a cool night with signs of a storm in the heavens.

A strong breeze was rising, which Vrought to me the fresh scent of hay fields, and I could almost hear the drowsy twitterinps of the birds. The sweeping foliage of the trees as we shot by bowed and &wayed in the nifrht breeze, like dark phan toms, pausing just long enough to salut«> each other in a grand courtesy before the revelry of a wild night dance. It brought to me the lines: •• The day la merging into the night. Frotu the purple Into the gray, An<i along the cattle trail over the hills. The flocks are wending their way The heather nods Itself to sleep, Hocked by the breeze of the nlifht. The swaying boughs have assumed strong forms. In the weird fantastic light" We whirled by farmhouses standing ip the shadow, am? fields heavy with fruit waiting for the sickle. The soughing of the wind had played upon my ear until it seemed my window had become transformed into an .Eolian harp that was playing the story of my life, and with the silver moon, and the trees like tossing plumes, and the shadows—l listened. The soft melody of the tender, witch ing strains was the tiny fingers of my childhood as they twined about my mother's heart, and then they incrensed and grew as they passed from child hood into girlhood, losing the subtle sweetness and jwirc note, but increas ing in the volume of grand sound and harmonizing chords—ever increasing, ever changing, shifting, restless and longing. Then a strange, weird striin swept across the strings, so intensely bweet with wild imaginings that tke very air seemed to grow thick and warm and the strings quivered and wavered and sobbed and moaned in an agony of pain, anil cried out in anguish and seemed to break into a ghostly dis cord as we reached a wild prairie waste. The moon was out silvery white, banked by durk clouds, while a low, rambling farmhouse stood silhouetted against the plains. The train shot*<n. Station after sta tion was passed until we were almost home again. 1 had grown drowsy, and throwing my heavy traveling wrap about me. I rested against the cushion. Suddenly I raiser! my head and looked around tlit car. 1 cannot describe the force that compelled me. but I am quite sure that had tny life been weighed in the balance again .t my inclinations I could not have done otherwise. I saw the same terrible eyes fastened UJK-IU me with that awful glitter, and tliey expressed more than mortal tongue could have done —hatred, revenge, cru elty, flendishness. I grew sick at heart. I could under stand now the fear that must possess the poor little animal the prey of the larger. My limbs trembled. Sly head reeled. My teeth chattered like ca»- tcnets, and it seemed to me that the beating of my heart could be heard all over the car, above the roar and din of tlie rattling train. A desperate thought flashed through tny mind. I would speak to the conductor and ask his pro tection, or that fatherly looking gentle man in the corner who resembled a "physician. But what should 1 say? Tell him I was afraid of a man on the train who was looking at me? (#0 to the fatherly looking Old gentleman with a blanched face and trembling limbs, and beg him to protect me from some one wlio had done nothing to molest me? What would they say, or saying noth ing, what might they think? My mind was a chaos of conflicting emotions. I looked around the ear." c,vuieutly the occupants did not notice my agita tion—those who were awake; a great many were in various stages of repose, and I can remember the half frantic thought that came to me, imagining how they would wake from their slum ber in wild affright should I do what I was most sorely tempted to do—lose my control and give volco to my nervous ness in a truly feminine shriek. How absurd it would be! I would do nothing. If the very heavens fell I would not place myself in such a ridicu lous position. 1 tried to think of all the bad things I had overdone. They were too many and 1 gave it up. It is claimed by tliat class of people termed enthusiasts that actual dissolu tion is not unpleasant, but is preceded by a state of coma, so deliglitfiU, in fact, that people who have walked hand in hand with death almost to the shores of the other World have rebelled U|M»II be ing awakened. 1 think I must have relapsed into a state something very much akin to this, for when the train steamed into the depot I was forced to arouse myself, and I made my way rapidly through the ear to the outward entrance. It was very dark. The wind blew a gale and the air llad grown chill. I hastened rapidly through the depot without encountering a familiar face and picked my way over the pavements under the gaslight. There was neither a cab nor a car in sight, and after some little delibera tion I decided not. to wait. Uathcrihg my skirts alxml me I disappeared down a dark street. There was always a policeman on that corner I knew, and j could ap|»-al to him I had been out many times before at night witliont ex periencing any alarm, but now I was timid and I looked In vain for the policeman's familiar form. The very lamp |«>!its seemed to stretch out spec tral arms that were mocking my fear, and the massive buildings on either side of the street looked glim and foro bodiug. It might liavu IM.-eu a city of the dead, everything was so silent not a soul 111 sight. The gas lights had grown dim. I looked about IUC nervously and rec ognized with horror a form that had grown to me terribly familiar, f threw self-control to the winds and htarted to ruu. There were only two blocks more and 1 felt sure 1 could reach the end of the way. On, oh, 1 sped, my heart beating with such rapidity that it almost suffocated me. One block more and I would be safe. With a courage born of despera tion I made the final effort. I looked around. Tht; form was gaining U]K>U mc rapidly. Would I ever reach it? At last my foot was on the step and I '" —L MV UK AI) WAS 11 EST IIA('KWAQJ> clutched at the balustrade, .lust at that moment I felt a clutch upon my shoul der.

I closed my eyes resolute ly. At thst moment I wiut stronger than I had ever been. T thought of my mother and the dear friends who had all been MO good to me.

The shock was so great that it had event ually unsettled his reason and he was constantly pursued by the fear that she was trying to murder him. He had met me, of course, accidentally, and the re semblance that I bore to his wife was SO Strong that with all the cunning a madman will sometimes exhibit he had his opportunity until the l>est time to retaliate.

Works That Show Great Spirit and Hkltl. Japanese art is supreme in wood and ivory carving. Sir Edwin Arnold de clares in "Seas and Lands" there ia nothing known to him in Europe that comes near what Japanese workmen can achieve. A specimen of ivory carv ing was shown to him which repre sented a bag of rice with two or three dozen rats In and upon it. Every rat was as individual in character, position and uetion as if a special portrait had been taken of him; and the web of the bag, the glistening grains of rice and the sleek fur of the rodents could not have l>een better expressed in painting. At an art store in Yokohama lie ex amined a piece of wood carving repre senting two life-sized wrestlers strug gling in the ring. Every muscle and every vein was delineated, every ten don and ligament was anatomically i>er fect. It drew a constant crowd, and a policeman informed the proprietor of the store tliat if he intended to continue the wrestling ou his premises, he must engage a posse of policemen to restrain the crowd. He was invited into the store and melted into smiles when lie saw that the wrestlers were carvings in wood.- -Jewelers' Circular. On an luglUli Cunal llnat.

In such cases some boat men take the poor beast to the side of the lock and unceremoniously tumble him in.

They uri? secured where they cross by ls-ing tied by a piece of small annealed wire. The wire framework can be covered with old newspaper* or strainer, or cheesecloth costing three or four cents per yard. When put on, a little soil on the edges in several places will prevent the wind from blowing It off. The strainer cloth covers might, lie sewed fast to the framework, but rats and mice are apt to make nests among them when stored away. These protectors can l>e made of several sizes. For tomato plants they might be a few inches taller than for melons. They can be made to order by tinners anil win:workers at £1 per hundred.

After the morning sermon I read the notices for the week and then an nounced the closing hymn - Nuinlier So and-so. At that moment I saw one of the deacona coming down the aisle and paused to hear what he had to say, which was that I hud forgotten to tfive a notice of the ladles' uieeting. I gave It accordingly, apologizing to the congregation for my forgetfulneas, and again announced the IIIUUIMT of the hymn and proceeded to rmul it.

Drnurre taui Ton can prevent «w»rming In yonr apiary by following my plan and with proper handling yonr surplus yield will be larger than by any other rneth-«l maW kiinwa I prevent swarming an<! in crriw by a single simple manipulation right at the cuauueocrnwut of iwarm ing. i transfer the comb* containing brood from the brood chamber to an upper story above tbe qneen excluder. One comb containing unhealed brood and orgs is left in the brnod rliaa ber as a start fi* the queen I All out the brood chamber with empty com ha. Fnll frames of foundation. or even starters ma; be ibril \Vl»eu the man ipulation is completed, the eot.»ny haa all of its brood with the queen, only it* condition is somewhat altered The queen has now a new brood nest below the excluder, while the comlis of brood are in the center of the super, with the aides filled ont with empty combe abova the queen excluder. In twenty oim days all the brood will be hatche-! oat above the excluder, and the bees will begin to batch in the queen's chamber below it; so a continuous of young bees is obtaine.l. For cxtri.v'hr.t honey I tier tip with a surplus of ex* 1 trading combs as fast as the colony needs the room to store surplus, l.'snal ly the combs above tbe excluder will be filled with honey by the time the bees are hatched, and no other system is as sure to give one set of combs full of honey for the extractor in lh« very I* »-rest season. The great economy of this system is that all tbe colonies pro duce nearly alike. If I want fancy comb-honey I tier the section cases on the super containing the brotal, and push the Iters to start all the comba they can; at the close of the sc:tson 1 extract the honey from the combs in the super, ami feed it back to property prepared colonies to have the partly filled sections completed. This system also works perfectly If applied imme diately after a swarm Issues The only difference iu the manipulation in this rate is that no brood or eggs is left in the brood uest, where the swarm ia hived back.
