A WOMAN'S REASON (Original.] There was enough of incident con centrated in the wedding day of 1 >r. Dmitri UrbanieiY and Katharine Tons koi, two young Russians of the mid dle class, for a whole lifetime. I'r banielf had returned from his medical studies in Paris with a light heart, for Katharine was expecting him, and they were to be married soon after his ar rival. He found domesticated in the homo of Katharine's father Count Alexle vech, who had some months p.wious appeared In the villi' e near by and ' who had brought a letter of introduc- 1 tion to Tonskoi. Kor what he came j and how long he proposed to stay he - gave no information. 1 Huitri, when he found the young man so intimate with the family of his sweetheart, wastrou- [ bled, but he soon made the discovery that Katharine did not like the count, ! und tlila reassured him. Why she did not fancy her father's guest was a puz zle, for the doctor could see plainly that the count seemed to desire her fa vor. When Dmitri asked Katharine I for a reason for her prejudice she gave him no better one than that Alexicvoeh was "cross eyed." Dmitri laughed at I this feminine reason and thought no : more about the matter. The morning of the wedding day ' brought a shock to the community. A 1 dozen persons In the vicinity were ar- j rested, and the most harrowing fea- | ture was that the young doctor, who ; was to have been married In the even- j lng, was among them. The prisoners j instead of being given a trial were liur- | rled off to Siberia. Count Alexlevech j appeared to be as surprised and indig- \ nant as any one and volunteered to start at once for St. Petersburg, where he claimed to have influence, to pro- I cure the doctor's release. Dmitri was earnest in his gratitude and begged the count to strain every nerve to free him before it should be too late. Kath- j arine could only cling to her lover, de spairing of over seeing him again. After her lover's departure she passed a few hours in an agony of despair. Then suddenly a desperate resolve took possession of her. She distrusted the count's promise. Shortly previous to the wedding day he had left her fa ther's house and taken rooms in the village. Katharine ordered a drosky and drove to his rooms. Instead of j •ending for him to come down she ran upstulrs and knocked at his door. She found hltn walking the floor. "Why are you not on the way to St. Petersburg?" she asked. "I was too late for the 10 o'clock train. There is no other till tomorrow." "There is a train on the other road at 4 this afternoon. You have only to drive five miles to it to catch it." "Eh? Are yon sure? I don't believe there is time." "There is time. Come. I have a dru.sky below. I will drive you my self." The count began to busy himself with preparation, making a great deal of fuss while doing very little. Katha rine saw his revolver lying on a table. "You will need this." she said, taking It up and thrusting it in a pocket of her dress. "Come, we have no time to spare." Aiexievech, cramming some brushes Into a bag, accompanied her downstairs. They got into the drosky. Katharine seized the reins and drove away as fast as the horse would carry them. Ah they were passing through a wood Katharine complained that her fingers were numb and asked the count to take the reins. He had no sooner done so than he felt something hard pressed against his neck and heard the click of a pistol. "Fiend," said Katharine, "I know all. You are one of the chiefs of police and have been ferreting out this plot. You have implicated Dmitri to get him out of the way the better to get me Into your clutches. I hate you, and I am going to kill you." "Katharine! For heaven's sake, of what are you accusing ine?" "Write an order for the release of Dmitri or I lire." "But I have no authority." "Write." The count. who had by this time caught a glance of the girl's desperate face, took out his notebook, tore out a leaf, wrote the order and gave it to her. "Drop the reins and get out of the drosky," she suid. He obeyed, ami Katharine, whipping up the horse, was •oon out of sight. She knew that the routo the prison ers had taken was the one she was on. their conductor intending to take them on the train she had proposed to the count to take. She soon overtook the party, produced the order, which was respected, her lover got into the drosky aud they drove homeward. When ap proaching the village they saw tlie count ahead of them. He was walking with his head bent down on his breast. When they came up to him he looked up as though inn dream. Dmitri go', out of the drosky and demanded sntM faction for the wrong that had been done him. The count looked at Kath arine with a hopeless expression, ask ed her to give Dmitri the revolver and bared his breast Dmitri turned away, got into the drosky and, without • word from him or Katharine to the count, drove on. At the hour that had been announced for the wedding the bride and groom were ready, and, as tin- news of Dml tri's release had spread like wild tire, the guests were assembled. The cere mony passed as quietly as had been expected. When the bride and groom were alone together Dmitri asked: "Katharine, how did you know the man was the cause of my arrest?" "I didn't like the squint in his eyes," was her confident reply. IIKI.LK C. WARREN. Where the (uinel In Fotil»«J. The camel is found in Arabia, Per sia, Asia Minor, Afghanistan, Italu chistun, Mongolia, western China and northern India as well as in Syria, Turkey, north Africa and parts of Spain. The camel is known by the same root word in nearly all these lauds. Not a page scarcely of an Ara bic lexicon but has reference to the camel. The language itself, according to Hammer Purgstall, knows him by 5.744 nanus. The only reason why Scripture is comparatively silent is be cause the topography of the 11..1y Land is such that in most parts the use of the camel is an impossibility.

The German emperor has more serv ants in his employ than any other mon arch. Altogether they number more than 3,000, about two-thirds of them being women. An authority on the subject declares that many cases of defective eyesight are caused by wearing tight collars, which interfere with the circulation of blood to the head. In over 2.t<>o major operations In Egypt upon natives only three cases of appendicitis were met with. This is attributed to vegetarian diet, light clothing and moderate living. In Kuchau, China, with Its million of people, there is not a single pump, windlass or other mechanical appli ance for raising water from wells or bringing It from the river to supply the city. Mrs. Hannah Jones of Conwl Elfed, Wales, has given birth to two pairs of t\\ ins in one year. A boy and a girl were born on Feb. 3, 1003, and two girls, twins, arrived on Dec. 27, 1903. All four babies are doing well. It will be news to Maine people to learn that they are still under English domain.

The German emperor proposes have a castle at I'osen to "conciliate the Poles." It will be his flfty-flfth cnstle. In addition he owns ninety three landed estates, but they bring him a little money, whereas the castles are costly. The Austrian minister of the interior has recently called the attention of medical practitioners to the serious evils caused by Illegible prescriptions lie Insists that every prescription "must be clearly and legibly written in all its pnrts." Japan has a navy of 123 vessels, many of them first class fighting craft. Up to 1865 she never owned a war ship and apparently did not know what a navy was.

The authorities in Edinburgh in or der to Induce people to be vaccinated offered half a crown (00 cents* to every person who would submit to the opera tlon. There was a great rush upon the vaccination depots, with a great rush on the saloons a little later. Three Parisian "apaches," or hooli gans, recently set on a man who was taking his wife home after a perform ance at the Odeon. It chanced that the man was a professor of savate- hand and foot "boxing"—and the roughs were Insensible when the police toot them away. A man with a genius for figures hns counted and calculated the number of grains in a bushel of wheat and makes out the number to he 809,720. The size of wheat grains differs, of course, but a fair conception of what a million means can be had by thinking of the grains in thirty-seven quarts of wheat. A report from Madrid states that at the village of Toregano, in the province of Segovia, four wolves came down from the mountains and, getting into the school premises, killed and devour ed five children, besides wounding seven others very seriously. The villagers succeeded in killing only two of the wolves. James Perkins, a dependent upon the town of Rochester, N. 11., died about a year ago, leaving a curious collection of razors, which the overseers of the poor placed on sale. In the annual re port, recently Issued, it appears that the town treasury was enriched $1G7.28 from the sale of the old razors found In the trunks of the deceased. Canadian exporters are year by year gaining n stronger position In the Scotch market. About half of the ap ples Imported now are from the Do minion.

" . Old I.mtlier Mottle*. Leather bottles, or blackjacks, were common In Europe two centuries ago. The bottles were often made of one | skin doubled up and closely stitched | together, leaving an aperture for the j neck. The thick piece between was in serted for the slip. It was meant to bo , slung at the back, a leather thong pass ed through two loops placed on either side of the neck, and it was sufficiently flat at the base to stand when put flown. The stopper was made of wood, horn or old leather. A good deal of care was required in the preparation of the leather, which had to be oiled j nnd worked with hammers to make it supple and then washed with a lye so j that all the impurity was entirely re- j moved, leaving the leather clean and ' dry. No moisture or air had any effect on It. Blackjacks were, in fact, flagons : made in various sizes. They were ! sometimes pitched inside. ELECTION NOTICE!

INVESTING MONEY, Hi* Sure of Vour lii'forp You HIML. Your MIVIIIKN. Don't tie yourself or your money up. Don't risk all your savings in any scheme, no matter how much it may promise Don't invest your hard earn ed money in anything without lirst making a thorough and searching in vestigation. Do not be misled by those who tell you that It is "now or never" and that if you wait you are liable to lose the best tiling that ever came to you. Make up your mind that if you lose your money you will not lose your head and that you will not invest In Anything until you thoroughly under stand all about it. There are plenty of good things waiting. If you miss one there are hundreds of others. Peo ple will tell you that the opportunity will go by and you will lose a great chance to make money if you do not act promptly. But take your time and investigate. Make it a cast iron rule never to Invest In any enterprise until you have gone to the very bottom of It, and if it is not so sound that level headed men will put money in it do not touch it. The habit of investigating before you embark in any business will be a happiness protector and an ambi tion protector as well. Orison Swett Marden in Success. "it always makes me tired," said «r. old barber, "when a man tells me to quit wasting so much time rubbing In the lather and hurry along with his shave. If In; only knew it, he is laying a sure foundation for a chapped and sore face. The reason for using soap in shaving is to remove the grease al ways close to the skin and on the sur face of the bej'id. This cannot be done without rubbing It well in. Many per sons who shave themselves do not un derstand this and wonder why they have sore faces. They blame the bay rum and change off to witch hazel or something else. Rubbing the soap in well makes the beard soft and pliable. It also lessens the chances of the razor slipping. Always rub the lather well In with the fingers, never with the brush."

Sir Walter Scott, however, in a note | to the "Lay of the Last Minstrel," says, j "To bite the thumb or the glove seems i not to have been considered upon the I border as a gesture of contempt, though so used by Shakespeare, but as a pledge of mortal revenge."
