Sir William McCormack, the presi dent of the Boyal Col lege of Surgeons, makes a most interesting report in the London Lancet as to the aston ishingly small injury done by Mauser bullets as shown by his experience in the Boer war. He tell of seventeen cases which by his past experience he would have diagnosed as l'atal but which showed speedy recovery. The Mauser bullet makes a very small wound, and the entrance and exit holes rapidly heal up, there being generally no mangling of tho flesh. Lungs are generally pierced through, and in many similar cases where it would seeia certain that some inter nal organ must have been injured, there is easy recovery with compara tively little inconveuieuee. Altogether the modern weapon is pronounced very "humane." Tbi Klondike River aud Dawson City are both in British territory. THE KERVES OF WOMEN Lydia E. Dnkhma's Vegetable Compound l'cllflvi'3 tli<!

Through the meshes of winter she slipped —a day From out some radiant south; Khe breathed a spell from her llower-shaped month. And the round world dreamed of May. flie birds dreamed softly of nesting-time, The bare eurtli dreamed of flowers, The brook's glad dream wasa merry rhyme, lint the busi of the dream was ours. For the song of the wind swept into our ken, From the ilrst pink dawn it blew. And we dreamed we laughed ia the sunshine then. When joy and the world were now. but the day passed by on folded wing, And our dream is ashes of rose. Till over tlie threshold of winter snows She shall smile from the hfart of Spring, -Alice Katharine Fallows, in Harper's Bazar. lissTHfliETmi Lawyer Northbrooke had just driven away from Glenthorne, and Elizabeth Everill stood for a moment on the broad terrace, and then, with a sigh, turned and entered the house. Only that day her aunt, Miss Matilda Thome, had been buried, and Mr. Northbrooke had comedown from Lon don tore id the dead wo nan's will. It was simple enough, and those who hal Icnown Miss Thome intimately hardly wondered at its wording: "To my niece, Elizabeth Everill, provided she marry a man of title, J will aud bequeath all my worldly pos sessions." "And if I do not marry?" Miss Everill had asked. "You retain your inheritance," the [ lawyer answered with a smile. "Miss Thome die v up tho will herself, and it is deficient on that point." Elizabeth's mother, Miss Thome's sister, had run oil with Paul Everill, 1 the organist of tho church, before she was lfl. Her f.itlier ha 1 forbidden her name to be mentioned in his hearing, and at his death (ilenthorne had passed to Matilda unconditionally, j She had held no coininuni. aiion with her married sister till she read in a newspaper of the death of I'aul Ever- j ill, aud then she had paid one visit to the dismal London lodging where Mrs. Everill lay dying. There had never i been much love between the sisters, 1 but Miss Thome was willing to take her sister's daughter under her care. So, when the organist's wife was laid beside him, their only daughter had ; been brought to her mother's home. Ma-tors and governesses had been employed to perfect her education, and j her aunt had never wearied of instal ling a love of wealth and power, and a horror of poverty into the girl's mind. That her words had not fallen i on barren ground she would have tin- j dorstood could she have known her niece's thoughts that evening. She was thinking of a scene that had taken place there just live years before. Some old paiutings had been sadly in need of the attention that only a skilllul hand could give, and Miss Thome had heard Ralph Crosby favor ably spoken of, and had asked him to ; do tho work. Elizabeth had been much ! in tho long portrait gallery while Balph Crosby talked and painted, and at length lie hud forgotten that he was only a struggling artist and she the niece of the wealthiest woman in the country and ha l spoken his love. Miss Everill could still remember the haughty stare and mocking smile of her aunt whou she spoiie of her love for Balph. "Love! Your mother loved Paul Everill, I suppose, and you know something of her life. But make your own choice. Marry this young man if you will, but not one farthing of mine will be yours." And the girl had lain awake till day break thinking of the sordid sur roundings amid which her childhood had been passed, and of tho poverty for which she had such a horror, till at last she resolved to answer "Xu" to her lover's pleading. She winced even now as sho re called the grief that struggled with a contemptuous pity for her reasoning when she told him the next day that she could not bo a poor man's wife, and remembered the few bitter words that fell from his lips as he turned away without seeiuiug to see her out stretched hand. In the last few duys sho had thought once or twice, in a vague way, that if (Henthorne should chance to be hers she would find a Vvay of lettiug him know that she loved him still,that she had lo\ed him always. •"And now—and now," she said to herself, while the shadows grew deeper in tho corners of the wide library, "an insurmountable barrier divides us." She clasped her hands tightly, aud, with eyes that were dimmed by tears, gazed into the glowing embers. "Oh, Aunt Matilda, your very kind ness is but cruelty. I wonder where Balph is now? Oh, I almost wish I was a poor girl today. Aud yet, no— I couldn't bear that!" And the latter reflection was con stantly passiug through the gill's mind as time wore on. It was very pleasant to bo mistress of the great house aud to li ive money to command. Under her rule (Henthorne became a very pleasaut place indeed; and be fore the year was ended it was whispered that Lord Arthur Kendal was very much in love with her. Elizabeth heard Balph Crosby's name mentioned sevei al times later, when she went to London. Ho was occupied upon a work that was to make a name for him, some said. Others hinted that ho w. s illjaid Miss Everill wondered that he- heart should boat so quickly at tho sound of his name. She had resolved to accept Lord Arthur. He was rich—much richer than she—and quite at the top of tho social ladder. Certainly she did not love Lira; he was hardly a man whom any woman could respect. Au.vhow she did not respect him, and yet she would marry him. They wore uncongenial spirits, she knew, but what of that? In such a mood she was goiug o.ie night, to a great ball given by one of the most fashionable women in Lon don. Lord Arthur would be there, and probably she would say "Yes" to his pleadings that night. She rather thought she would as she stood be | fore a mirror when her maid had given I the finishing touches to her toilet. Blie had on a new white dress, and | pearls were on her neck and amid ! lior dusky liair; she was radiantly i I oautiful. ".Six years ago!" she muttered. ! "Six years and more since the day Ralph Crosby said " She turned away. Now and again a feeling came over her that she could nut understand-—a feeling that her wealth and her beauty were not to bring her happiness; and she had grown impatient with herself for feel ing so. Generally at such times she was even gayer than usual, and when, some hours later, Lord Arthur sat by her side in a convenient recess in Lady Javenell's conservatory, he felt that he could almost die for her. There was something in her beauty that night--a sadness in the dark eyes behind their mirth—that he could not understand. "Elizabeth," he whispered, "say 'Yesl' " and just then the sound of voices reached them. "And Crosby, th? artist, you know, is blind." ".Blind!" "Quite. He consulted Reynolds yesterday, his case is hopeless." "I'oor beggar! What will ho do?" "I don't know. He hasn't a penny. Fie has never steadied himself to work for years. Somebody told me of a gill who jilted liuu, or something." Miss Everill rose. "Lord Arthur, [ hope you will no 1 , or speak to me lilto this again l " Lord Arthur bowed. He knew that further pleading would be useless. Very early 011 the following morn ing Miss Everill's carriage stopped at Ralph Crosby's chambers, and Eliza beth was informed that he was at home. Hie gave 110 name, but entered the room where 110 was. "Ralph!" "It was a voice that he had not heard for six long years, but he le coguize I it at once, and tinned his sightless eyes toward her. "Elizabeth!" he cried rapturously, opening his arms, and in an instant she was folded 111 them. "But you must not, Elizabeth," he said later, "you must not sacrifice all for me." "it is 110 sacrifice," she replied, composedly; "but I am dreadfully afraid that 1 had to ask you to marry me! I wonder what Mr. Nortlibrooke will say when he hears of this?" and she laughed. "What fools women are!" was what the old lawyer said 011 being apprised of it, and ho drew a large envelope from among a number of papers that were in a large box before him. It was addressed, in Miss Thome's very masculine cnligraph, to himself, and wiitteu in one corner were the words: "To be opene 1 in the event of my niece's marriage." Inside was a will, properly signed and witnessed, and the old lawyer's face cleared as lie glanced at it. These was also an open letter addressed to Miss Everill. "If you have sold yourself, my niece, tako the price of your slavery. If you have been honest enough to marry for love, take your reward. In either case Gleuthorne is yours." "Heaveu bless me!" the lawyer ex claimed, "Heaven bless me! There's 110 understanding a woman! I'm heartily glad, anyhow; and now I must tfo and tell these two that they won't bo beggais after all." An Enormous Yoeal Repertoire. My mother's love for music was so great, says Sarah T. Meigs, that she could sing anything that was called for, from the old Scotch and English ballads, through the entire raugo of Italian opera, down to the modern German Lied; or play anything, from Cleinenti to Chopin. All this 111 any key, and with an exquisite taste and enthusiastic enjoynieut that was ir resistible. Oil being asked once how many pieces she thought she knew, sho re plied: "About 1000." My father said: "I'll give you s"> if you will write down the names of 500." "Very well; I'll do it." A blank book was se cured and the only sound heard in our sitting room was the scratching of a pen. On my father's return he asked what progress was made. The answer was:"l wrote until I was tired. If there are not ouougli names, don't think I've exhausted my repertory, for I can write at least two hours longer." The juveniles crowdol round to watch tlie counting, and when the last column was rea-hed there was just 800. "How am I to know that yon really know all these pieces?" "t will sing them to you," was the undaunted reply. My father laughingly said: "I am quite willing to take your word for it, my dear," and paid over the money amid the cheers and laughter of the delightod family.—lndianapolis Nows.

It is well for the housekeeper to remember the different possibilities in sandwich making. There are peanut sandwiches that some persons fancy and that are made bv mixing finely chopped peanuts with mayonnaise dressing and spreading the mix- j ture 011 buttered bread. Lettuce; sandwiches are simply refieshing. 1 Celery sandwiches require finely i chopped celery seasoned with grated cheese ami mixed with whipped cream. j Then there are sardine sandwiches, and nut sandwiches, the latter made by using e jual parts of prated Swiss 1 cheese aud chopped English walnut meat seasoned. To make jelly sand wiches use quince or auy chosen jelly, 1 spread it 011 buttered bread anil sprin kle with chopped hickory nuts. Crackers iu place of bread are used for Russian sandwiches. Spread them with cream cheese, aud cover with i chopped olives mixed with mayon naise dressing. Even the simplicity of sliced fresh bread and grated hovse- 1 radish is good. Household Hints, Whipped cream is more easily di- ! gested than plain cream. Bronze articles are best cleaned with a paste made of powdered chi cory and water. Cold tea may be saved for the vine- ! gar barrel. It sours easily and gives 1 color and flavor to the vinegar. Stale an del food may be made into a palatable pudding by steaming it aud serving with uiarshmallows melted for sauce. When cow's milk is fed to babies with enfeebled digestion, it must be largely diluted with warm water. I Overfeeding is frequently the cause ! of infantile dyspepsia. An excellent way to improve the condition of frozen game is to lay it in a bath of sweet milk for 24 hours, changing the milk twice. Roast the birds in the usual way. A new sort of brush for the very 1 highly polished table or piano is the I foxtail brush with a small silver han- J die. The whole thing is ornamental aud rather useful as well. Kerosene applied with a soft cloth, preferably one of old silk or linen, should remove the marks of hot dishes from the polished suiface of a dining table. If it does not, rub each spot with spirits of camphor and after wards with furniture polish. An appreciated change from stewed chicken is made by dropping oysters* into the stock left iu the pot after the chicken has been lifted to the platter, and a moment later pouring all over the meat. This is a Rood way to eke out the service of a small chicken.
