There are only about 1000 German!
in the whole of Mexico.
Chicago has a jxyiny savings bank
for school children, inaugurated by
the Civic Federation.
The chemist of the agricultural de
partment in Washington thinks that
the oil made of sunflower seed, which
he says is a perfect substitute for olive
oil, is the coming salad oil.
Southern California has a popula
tion of about 320,000 comprising
64,000 families and the railroad
mileage is equal to one mile of road to
about forty families. The population
is increasing at the rato of from 16,
000 to 20,000 families a year.
By the provisions of a new Texan
law, bond and investment companies
doing business iu the state must de
posit with the state treasurer $5000
and ten per cent, of net premium re
ceipts yearly until the amount to their
credit shall reach to $100,000.
According to the government return
just issued there are in Scotland 9237
agricultural holdings of one acre and
under, 20,150 of from one to five
acres, 83,921 of from five to fifty
acres, 25,568 of above fifty acres aud
seventy-six of more than 1000 acres.
"Within the last twenty-two years
our southern iron product has in
creased 800 per cent.," declares theAt
lunta Constitution, "while that of the
north and east has increased less than
400 per cent. In 1880 the south pro
duced only 3,700,000 tons of coal. Ten
years later.however.the product of our
mines reached 24,000,000 tons, aud in
1896, 30,000,000 tons."
The local branch of the Boston loan
and trust company iu Kansas City has
received notice from its head office
that heareafter loans may be taken on
first-class properties in northeastern
Kansas. Huh is said to be one of the
first orders of the kind affecting Kan
sas property that has boeu given by a
loan company in years. The, order is
limited to Douglass, ,AAbisoa, Jeffer
son, Brown, Nemeha and a few other
counties in the portion of the state
named.
Thongh the tomb of General Grant
in New York city is now practically
completed, there yet remains some
work of ornamentation to be done. It
is intended to place upon the cap of
the pyramidal top of the monument a
colossal statue of peace. General
Porter says that provision has been
made for the erection of this statue,
and that work upon it will soon begin.
There remains in the treasnry of the
association $12,000. The statue may
cost $15,000, but there is no fear that
there will be difficulty in raising a few
thousand to complete the tomb.
Vaccination against typhoid fever
seems to be an assured resource in the
war on disease. Two professors con
nected with the Army Medical school
at Netley, England, have elaborated a
process of antityphoid vaccination.
Cultures of the bacilli are used iu the
process. Observations were made
upon a number of persons, mostly
medical men, with satisfactory results.
A medical journal says the vaccina
tions can be practiced without risk,
and their adequacy, also, cau bo easily
controlled by examinations of the
blood. Persons exposed to the risk
of typhod infection may secure immu
nity, through this process, if the pres
ent degree of success is maintained.
On a railroad aiding four miles
above Hollidaysburg, Penn., stand
thirty-two Pullman palace cars, closely
guarded day and night by watchmen
whose only duty it is to see that no
one interferes with the process of de
cay and despoliation which the ele
ments have inaugurated. The cars
are the property of the Pennsylvania
railroad company, and represent an
outlay of $400,000. These handsome
coaches have been dragged through
the slow and tortuous processes of liti
gation for over five years. Both the
railroad and the Fulman company
have claims or thecars, and until a
final decision is rendered in the courts
these magnificent vehicles of travel by
rail are left to rot and crumble in the
open air, exposed to all kinds of
weather, and will soon be unfit for any
use except kindling wood and old
crap iron. i '"

A Mysterious
Q Disappearance.

fS) T3y BOPHIE BWETT.
H, I should like
to go as far as
the pasture wall
once more. I
expect the black
berries are be
ginning to be
ripe; and how
thick they used
to be along that
wall!" Mrs. Leafy Todd, as she spoke,
leaned back in her rocking chair on
the vine-shaded piazza and looked wist
fully across the summer fields.
"Perhaps you could go if you tried,
mother," said her daughter Penelope,
hopefully. "You walked as for as the
clump of sumacs, you know, last
week."
Mrs. Todd shook her head until her
wiry block ringlets quivered. "I've
foiled since then. 'Pears strange to me
that you don't see it, Penelope. But
there's considerable Todd to you; you
don't feel for folks like some."
"Ls, Leafy, you just spunk up and
go! Take the short-handled dipper
and bring home a mess of blackberries
for tea. You'll feel a sight better for
it," spoke Mrs. Scliua Todd, the in
valid's sister-in-law, fut, comfortable
and blunt of speech, as she loid a shill
ing tin dish on the piazza seat at
Leafy's band and disappeared within
doors, after winking slyly at Penelope,
who sat upon the doorstep.
Penelope did not respond to the
wink; instead, the pucker deepened be
tweeu her brows--o deeper pucker
than it was pleasant to see between
eighteen-year-old brows. Penelope
was dutiful nnd conscientious, and she
was not so sure as her Aunt Helino that
nervous prostration was, in her moth
er's cose, only a new-fushioned suy
onym for being spleeny.
"Perhaps you'd better wait till I can
go with you, mother," she said, anx
iously. "Now I must go and give lit
tle Persis Dowd her music lesson."
"I'm used to waiting," said the in
valid, with bitter patience. "I haven't
any real expectation of getting as far
as the pasture wall again. That walk
I took last week came near bringing
on a numb spell; and I felt consider
able as if I was going to have one just
after I got up this morning."
The pretty pink color drifted out of
Penelope's cheeks. Those "nnmb
spells" were the terror of her life. Her
mother was sure they meant heart dis
ease, and Penelope bad thought that
the doctor had looked grave over them.
Penelope kept watch and ward to
prevent the occurrences which were
sure to bring them ou, such as a visit
from old Mrs. Polly Nesbit, who told
her mother that "she looked full
older'n her mother did at her age,"
and "if she wos pindlin' she ought
not to be surprised, for the Pingrens,
her mother's folks, wa'n't apt to live
to be more'n forty-five."
Then thore hnd been a numb spell
after the call of Penelope's friends,
Ham and Lizzie Nute, from Orinoco.
Penelope couldn't understand why
these callers should conduce to numb
spells, but her mother explained
vaguely that there had been some
trouble about a mortgage between the
Nates and the Todds, in olden times,
and that with her sensitiveness she
knew- she should never be able to heal
th e sight of a Nute.
"Cot's foot! Aro you as blind as a
bat, Pouelope Todd?" was the remark
which Aunt Hclinn had made when
the explanation was repeated to her.
Hut Penelope would have felt tin
dutiful to harbor the least compre
hension of what Aunt Helino meant.
Of course Bam Nute was not quite
like anybody else, and they had
thought a good deal of each other ever
since they were children. That was
the way in which Aunt Selina con
nected Sam Nute with tho numb spells.
Perhaps Aunt Selina was, as Penelope's
mother said, a trifle hard, and lacking
in fine feelings.
Penelope went off heavily burdened
to little Persis Dowil't music lesson.
Sho wished she could have helped her
mother, now that the rore impulse
was upon her to take a little walk
that might do her good. But every
thing depended ou her music teach
ing, and she must not neglect a pupil.
The invalid hy bock with her eyes
closed ; thou she opened them suddenly
and looked ugain wistfully across the
summer fields. Sho gazed around her
furtively ; no one was in sight. She
arose aud walked feebly down the steps.
Midway she turned and reached back
for the dipper. "I used to be one that
liked to have something to go for," she
said to herself.
It was pleasant to her even to cross
the stubby field wheu the grasshoppers
were thick, aud the locusts shrilled
monotonously, and the afternoon sun '
was hot.
She raised her hand suddenly to her
head. "I've got on Seliuy's old shade
hat," she murmured. "Once I
wouldu't have worn it even wheu there
was nobody to Bee me."' . .
The sun dazzled her eyes and her
head felt a little giddy. It was long
since she had walked so far; but she
persevered. Along the wall of the
stubby field grew a tangle of vines; but
they werea-sspberry vines -that had al
ready shed their fruit," and traveller's
joy, and here and there, a red gleam
Ot ivy. .
"Across the railway-track, along the
pasture-wall, there's where the ' black
berries grow," she said to herself. i "I
haven't been.bj-'i for twb years, but I
remember just a well 1 ' Here's the gap
la tho wall where I used to go through.
OS
I
I s'pose I better elimb across one of
them cars instead of going around the
end of 'em all. It'a just scandalous
the way railroad folks leave cars stand
ing ou this siding most every day till
they want them for the suburban folks
evenings aud mornings."
The sun glinted through the chinks
in Selina's battered hat a man's hat
bought at the store for ten cents in the
haying season and Leafy was near
sighted at the best. She listened. No
locomotive was in hearing. The short
cut was across a car platform. When
she Climbed up to it, she said to her
self, "I feel a mite dizzy I guess I'll
sit right here on top of the steps and
rest a little."
Tenelope had gone with a heavy
heart, as has been said, to little Persis
Dowd's music lesson. Penelope was a
responsible person as well as a deeply
affectionate one, and since her father's
death she had felt herself to be in an
especial sense her mother's keeper.
Old Doctor Bemis, a little puzzled
by uen-ous prostration, which was less
common in North Goshen than in
places where people have more leisure
for it, hod said very gravely that his
patient must not be crossed; and Pene
lope felt guilty that she had even been
tempted to cross her. The temptation
had been dutifully resisted; a letter of
many poges to Sam Nute now lay
heavily in her pocket and still more
heavily upon her heart.
It had required many pages to tell
Sum that what he had asked her could
never be, because her duty to her
mother forbade it. She had set forth
fully and pathetically her mother's sad
and dangerous condition, the more so
that sho suspected Aunt Seliua of hav
ing mode light of it to Hani.
Penelope hod to go a little out of her
way to reach the postoffice, and at the
turning of the road she halted, her
resolution weakened by the tugging at
her heart-strings. Little Persis Dowd
really ought not to be obliged to wait
ten minutes for her lesson; aud to
morrow would be soon enough to send
that letter. Old Captain Dowd, Persis's
grandfather, drove Penelope homo
around by the river-rood, so the letter
was still in her pocket when she renched
home and found Aunt Selina frantically
tooting the horu aud ringing the diu-uer-bell
to raise an alarm.
"Bo calm, Penelope, be calm!" im
plored Aunt Seliua, hysterically; "but
little Aaron Scattergood says he saw
her going across the field in the middle
of the afternoon, aud my big hat and
the short-handled dipper uint any
where, nor she aint! I thought she
was taking a nap in her room, aud I
didn't ring the supper-bell, waiting
for her and you () Penelope, don't
look like that! It's most likely she
has just gone to oue of the neighbors."
The two women stood looking at
ench other, Penelope's white-lipped,
dry-eyed silence iu strong contrast
with Aunt Selina's feverish excitement.
They both knew that Leafy never went
to the neighbors.
Penelope had heard that nervous
prostration sometimes developed into
The thought was too dreadful to en
dure iu silence! "The pond! Aunt
Selina, the pond!" she gasped.
"Now don't you go to thinking of
that, child! I haint let myself think
of that!" sobbed Aunt Seliua. "Oh,
poor old Leafy! I don't know as I bad
feeling enough for her sufferings
though I did know they wa'n't all
vain imaginations."
Penelope felt the letter in her pocket,
an awful witness to her guilt. She
thought that her mother had probably
discovered that Sam had written to
her, nnd anxiety for the result had
driven her to some dreadful deed.
"Oh, my poor suffering mother!
Could you think I would be so heart
less as to leave you?" she cried aloud,
her self-restraint giving awoy sudden
ly. Then she arroused herself to
action, on seeing little Aaron Scatter
good standing, highly entertained and
curling his bare toes with excitement,
iu the gateway.
"Bun, Aaron, to every house in this
neighborhood and ask if my mother
bin been there or been seen!" suid
Penelope, imperatively.
"I've been, and she haint, "answered
little Aoron, concisely. "Nobody saw
her go herryin' but just me. Mubbe a
bear cat her," ho said, cheerfully;
"only there ain't none." Little Aaron's
head drooped dejectedly with a sense
of the tameuess of life, and he medita
tively essayed to pick up stones be
tween his bare toes.
"Aunt Selina, the pond must be
dragged at ouce! I'll go and give the
alarm."
Penelope sped down the hill toward
the village, and at the foot she met the
messenger boy from the centre with a
telegram for Miss Penelope Todd,
which she opened with shaking fingers.
"Your mother safe with friends.
Will return soon."
The telegram was unsigned. It came
from Orinoco.
Penelope . drew , a . long, sobbing
breath of relief; but the mystery op
pressed her. - Her mother must have
wandered away, and that implied a
much greater degree of mental weak
ness than she had hitherto shown.
"I am going to Orinooo at once,"
she declared, when she had carried the
telegram home to Aunt Selina. -
"But it's a large town, and you
haven't a mite of a duel I'd just wait
patiently, seeing you know sWs safe,"
aid Atrat Selina. " "''-
Fenelope, when ih grew calmer,
felt that this was good advice, and
waited; but the monotonous "one, two,
three" of her small piano pupils seemed
to pound upon her brain.
But her mother did not return, and
the. next day Penelope set out for Or
inooo. There was no train until after
noon. On her way to the station aha
stopped at the postofnee to mail her
letter to Sam Nute. She had a vague
feeling that it was a propitiation of
fate, this sacrifice which was so bard.
Without it her mother would not be
returned to her. Before she could slip
the letter into the box the postmistress
handed her one, addressed in the
loose, wavering hand that had been
her mother's since her illness, and she
went directly out with it.
Penelope sat down upon the grass
by the wayside and opened it, her
heart leaping at the 'dear, familiar
words.
Mr Diab Dacohtib: I want you to send
me my best bonnet, right off. And you
might send, too, your little lace cap that
you think is so becoming to me. They
want me to stay to tne county conference,
and as there are things about It that seem
kind of providential, as you might say, I
don't know but I shall. And Lizzie ls real
stylish, you know. I'm wearing one ot her
hats, and they say It isn't a mtte too young
tor me.
I torgot that you don't know how I came
here, but I suppose you must have kind of
guessed by this time. I went serous the
ueid to tne railroad track, thinking to pieic
a few blackberries. My head flow round,
but I kept right on, for I never was one to
give up easy. I went to climb over the
empty passenger-ears that are most always
mere in tne daytime, and l sat down to
rest; and I guess I must have fallen asleep,
for first thing I know there was a jerk, and
cue train was moving.
I thought at first that I was only dizzy,
and the noise it made was in my head: but
when the atone walls begird to slip along
backward I knew what haaMiappened.
I got up to go inside. ut the door was
locked, and nobody saw or heard me till
the conductor come along and unlocked
the door. I told him I must bo put off, but
he said they couldn't, for they were behind
time. Hi was saucy, anyhow; when I said
I couldn't go to Orinoco which was the
first stopping-place he said, as cool as
could be, "Madam, what will you do? And
wuon i HHi'i i snonid ai pejore I got mere,
he said, as polite as a basket of chips. "In
that case, madam, I will sen that your re
mains aro sent to your friends!"
He gave mo a comfortable seat I'll snv
that for him and there I sat in Hellna's
old baying hat, with the tears triokling
down my cheeks and him and two brake
men staring at me. When I got off at
Orinoco I was trembling in every limb, for
I hadn't any money, I couldn't bearto ask
nny questions, nftoirthoblood-curdling wav
that that conductor answered me. Ilut 1
declare, I don't know but it kept me up to
bo so mnd as he minle mo!
While I was standing on the platform of
the Orinoco station, wondering what I
should do. who should come driving up but
Hnm and Lizzie Nute! You know I've hnd
kind of a feeling against Nutes, but I didn't
think of it then, I never was so glad to
see any folks in all mv born davs, and I
said so right out. They took me right
home with them, and here 1 am.
It seems queer that I should have been
carried off so to the county conference,
that I never expected to go to again. The
ltev. Orslno Cheney is stopping here at
Deacon Nute's to attend the conference.
Your Aunt Hellna will know who ho Is. lie
used to kind of keen company with me
when I was a girl. Tliey say be has come
home Tor a wife, and Lizzie keeps teasing
me; but, of course, that is ridiculous. Not
but what I should feel equal to laboring in
tho Lord's vineyard wherever He was
pleased to call me, after what I stood yes
terdav. That makes me think that I don't know
ss .you've treated Ham Nuto Just right.
Maybe you've thought too much of that old
difficulty between the two families. Folks
ought not to treasure up such things. If I
should have to leave you and the most
unexpected things do happen in this world
I should like to think that I loft you with
such a protector as Ham Nute would be.
lOl'U IjOVINO mother.
P. 8. Before vou send the bonnet vou
might get two little sprigs of those blue
Mowers that you thought were so becoming
to mo and let the milliner pin them in.
Penelope laughed a little and cried
a little, sitting by herself on the grass
beside the rood. Then she tore the
long, hateful lotter to Sam all into lit
tle bits and tossod them into the air;
and the winds of heaven swooped
down upon them nnd bore them afar.
Youth's Companion.
Husband and Wife fur Eighty-Seven Tears.
Mr. aud Mrs. Jacob Killer, who
live near La Grange, Ind., have just
completed eighty-seven years of mar
ried life, and both bid fair to live a few
yeors longer. Mr. Hitler is now 107
years old and his wife 105, and the
little frame cottage they occupy has
been their home for nearly eighty-five
years. This house consists of one
room, and this room contains all the
aged couple's earthly possessions.
Mr. Hiller is a vigorous looking man
for his extreme old age. His band is
as strong and his step as firm as those
of a man of forty. His eyes are bright,
and his long hair falls in unmixed
whiteness almost to his shoulders.
His wife has long sinoe passed under
the spell of old age. She is bent al
most double with the weight of her
years and is totally blind. "It'a a
caution," says Mr. Hiller, speaking of
his age. "I never counted on . living
so long or anything like it." He tells
how he was born in Jamestown, near
Kingston, Canada. He was twenty
two years old when the war of 1812
came along, and he describes Canada
as a very wild country in those years.
The first year of the war he and his
wife left ' Canada and settled near
Marine City, and went from there to
Emment, whence they came to their
present home. They were married
when Mr. Hiller was twenty and his
wife eighteen. With his old age have
come symptoms of a second childhood,
the most amusing and amazing of
which is the cutting of two teeth lately.
The old couple have eleven, children,
the oldest eighty-two and the youngest
fifty-seven. Chicago Times-Herald.

Transmuted Through Hnrrender.
It you enter the Turner Gallery ot Art In
London, you are at once arrested by the
flaming picture ot unrivaled magnificence.
Yoa have sunrises that coma blushing o'er
the incense-breathing morn aud sunsets that
seem to open the very gateways of glory
suns la their meridian splendor, suns
shining through the rifted clouds, giving
exquisite shadows, turning the water Into
silvery sheen and clothing the heathery hill
sides In purple robes. If you examine what
gives brilliance to those pictures jewels and
all precious stones, think you? Nothing of
the kind. The genius of Turner took the
worthless metallic oxides and pigments
which were pulverized, cleansed and assimi
lated sacrificed, If you please and then
bandied to Incarnate on the canvas the Ideal
creations of his n.lnd.aud now the worthless
pigments are transmuted into n value which
the wealth of a Vanderbilt could not pur
chase from the nation. How tine is the
analogy here! If the surrender of these
worthiest pigments to tho bands of a Turner
lifts them to such peerless value, making
them the milliliters of bounty through the
ages, tho surrender of any soul to God gives
tho services of that soul an inuoneelvable
preclousness. George? Douglas, 1). 1)., in
"The Sacrifice of Herviee."
Inscrutable Though Not I'nlntelllglble.
It is vital Christianity wheu the believer
can say. "I live, yet not I, but Christ liveth
iu me. This is not a shadow which we
pursue, nor a dream of the night. Tho
union of sunlight with flower, of heat with
lire, of life with the body, Is not more roal.
There is a lite which is bid with Christ in
God for sinful, helpless men and women;
not a fancy of the mystic in his solitude, not
n prize for him who lias leisure nnd learn
ing, but a reality for all believers amid their
temptations, troubles, duties, cares. Man
has a body; ho is a spirit. Spiritually he
may be joined with Christ and become a son
of God. Ilut this union does not destroy
personality. It is. however, vital the life
of Christ within the believer as distinguished
from external influence or assistance so
that the apostle says, "He that hath tho Hon
hath life. ' It is inscrutable though not
unintelligible. Wo cannot fully comprehend
it. but may know it by experience. It is
increasingly revealed to every faithful dis
ciple. "Of His fullness have all we re
ceived, and grace for grace." ltev. Herbert
W. Lathe, in "Chosen of God."
A Prayer for Preparation.
We present ourselves to thee today, our
father. Prepare us for what thou seest to
be waiting for us in the valley of the

A brittle thing Is our earthly happiness-

nnd neither anxiety, nor sorrow,, nor the

oak-cleaving thunderbolt, can slm.ter a
thing even so brittle as the earthly happi
ness of our poor little homes, if we place
that happiness under the care of God. But
though neither anguish nor death can break

Lie sadly stranded on a sandy beach,
Beyond the tide's kind reach:
Within Its murmur of lumeutlng speech
Long she lay there;
Until at length
A mighty sea arose In all Its strength, .
And launched her lovingly.
And thus, alas! our race
Lay stranded on the Deaon ot numan sin
And misery,
Beyond all help, until God's gracious graee,
