ENVIRONMENT,
A lily grew in a garden far
From the dust of the city street.
It bad no dreaw that the universe
Held aught less pure and sweet
Than its virgin sell; so chaste was it,
So perfect its retreat.
When night came down the lily looked
In the face of the stars and smiled;
Then went to sleep—to the sleep of death,
As the soul of a little child
Goes back to the clasp of the Father-soul,
Untouched and undefiled.
A lily bloomed on the highway close
To the tread of tho swee ping throng:
It bore the gaze of a hundred eves
Where burned the flame of wrong:
And cone eame by who tore its heart
With a ruthless hand and strong.
It caught no zlimpse of a garden fair,
t knew no other name
For a world that used and bruised it so
Than a worid of sin and shame;
And hopeless, erushed, its spirit passed
As the evening shadows came.
And who can say but the sheltered one
A sullied flower hal been
Had its home been out on the highw ay close
To the path of shame and sin?
And the other forever angel-wh
Had it blossomed safe within?

The train rolled out of more than
Egyptian darkness and stopped sud-

The flare of many lights, the rum-

oi people in the streets, proclaimed
the station to be a city, and a great
one. :
The passengers whose changing

stream of peonle coming in, for the
train was a through one and the time
limited.
Among the last to reach {he plat-

about her wonderingly, as though
with the commo ion and noise and
confusion she could hardly think.

Mrs, Dorothy Dunning had
the same, and mentally vowed that
the handy Wealthy should forget the
relationship, and keep her place with
the children and mind the housework,
which she could perform with such
dexterity.
So Wealthy found herself

who were employed to
take care of the six Dunning chil-
her charge being the three
oldest, except Lon.
She, being 18 and out in society,
was considered beyonda nurse’s care,
and never turned a hand over to
brighten anybedy’s life.
But there were gleaus of
Wealthy’s life, after all.
Pleasant days she took the children
to the park, and, while she sewed and
winded thew, she could also feast her
eyes on the beautiful trees and green
sward and the blue skies; so blue,
Wealthy thought; skies anywhere else
were never so blue as those, [Little

haps, hers was not such a hard Tot as
it might have been, in spite of the
fact that she was obliged to be busy
at something all the time. She was
thankful for what she had, and worked
and sang and made the best of it.
And so it went on for six months,
July came and Doctor and Mrs.
Dunning and Lou went away to cool
Birchlands,
‘Doctor Edwards is coming to
Birchlands this season,’
Mrs. Dunning at the end of the fort-
night.

Lou matched her pretty eyes with |
prettier ribbons, and when he called |
she rustled to greet him in the fleecy |
raiment that had cost Wealthy hours |
of patient endeavor to think out, and |
fit, and make—a creature of a dream
and fair to look upon, ‘‘as beautiful
as a fancy,” Docter Edwards thought. |
But in the chain of circumstances, {
there were other incidents.
Iy the city the oppressive heat was |
| telling on poor, puny Arthur, and ona
day Wealthy, nurse, housekeeper and
i commander-in-chief, fouud
care on her hands, a sick Loy.
Gently she quieted hm, tenderly

| stood despairingly by hs bedside, with
| the realization that the disease was
beyond the scope of her immediate
prescriptions and fully aware that the
{ boy was on dangerous ground.
{What could she do? Send for her
| nncle? He was miles away, and
Arthur might before his father
| reached him.
Sead for a doctor? Where? Neither
| she nor any of the children knew the
| location of any vhysician’s office in
the city. !
Speak to the neighbors? Yes, but
it is August, and they ave all away.
Completely ba‘fed in this labyrinth
of perplexities, suddenly a bright idea
occurred to her.
Looking hastily out of the window
| she saw a bright light away down the
street on the opposite side.
i “That must be Doctor Edwards |
i that T have heard so much about, 1]
know,” she said. And shortly after- |
ward, Doctor Bernard Edwards, pro
fessional, indeed, but handsome, fine-
eyed and kind, was obeying an urgent |
summons up the street.
He stayed all through the hot night
| with the sick hoy, socthing and help-
(ing him and lightening for poor
| Wealthy what otherwise would have
been aseasun of multitudinous terrors |
—and when morning dawned once
again, Arthur's life was saved.
And during that night he had be-
come interested in the faithful, lovely
young girl,
Doctor Edwards always looked
grim reality straight in the eye, and
he found out what her position was in
that house, and such a distaste for Lou
Dunniug’s frivolous beauty came over |

might never see her again.
He stamped and stormed a little
and in his righteous wrath he spoke

Evidently he had a whole mind to; |
for the next day, before the gray dusk
was fairly out of the sky, and long
before the children were awake,
Wealthy, standing weary and alone
by the chamber window, found her-
| self clasped tenderly in a pair of strong
arms, Lovingly the tall doctor stooped
and tenderly kissed the little girl.
“Wealthy, he whispered, ‘Wealthy |
look at me, darling! I have some-
thing to tell yon, and I want you to
| answer me a question.”
Somehow it took a long time; but
at the end of the narration, though
Wealthy was in a flood of tears, the
i tired head rested against Doctor
Edward’s breast, and with a joy that
| could not be told,she answered ‘‘yes’ |
to his question.
| When the Dunnings came back
there was a heavy gold ring on Weal-
thy’s hand Lut Doctor Pernard Ed-
wards called lL elore they had time to
notice it,
“I have to apologize for not keep-
ing my promise of returning to Birch-
wood, but professional duties prevent-
ed,” he said. ‘‘Perhaps, too, I should
make excuses for falling in love with
your niece, but that, alse, I could not
prevent. ’
And Lefore they realized what he |
was doing he had taken Wealthy away
and married her, and she had left |
them forever.
Doctor and Mrs. Dunning refer to
their niece as “My dear Wealthy.”
Leu does herself, indeed. ‘My
| cousin Wealthy,” she says, in speak-
ing of her, ‘Doctor Edwards’ beauti-
ful wife.”
But it was a corrective for the Dun-
nings. They may not be less self-

livered a lecture before the Berlin Geo-
graphical society, in which he brought
forward the following particulars con-
cerning the peculiar diet of the native
savages of the Transvaal, especially as
noticed among the Basutos, the tribe
which is now threatening to take up
arms against the British, says the Phil-
adeiphia Record. One of their most
characteristic hunts is the mouse hunt.
Twenty to thirty Basutos gather to-
gether; they march off carrying strips
of nets made by them for this purpose
and, accompanied by a large number
of dogs, about whose bodies different
The dogs make
a big sweep round the countryside,
while the Basutos attach their various
strips of nets into one long semicir-
cular barrier, the lower part of which
is pinned to the ground. Then,
crouching upon the ground and holding
their sticks ready, they wait the com-
ing of the mice. These, frightened by
the bells dangling from the dogs, grad-
ually draw nearer and nearer to the
net, along which they are at last found
running in a vain effort to discover
an opening through which they may
cseape. When the number of these
victims is sufficiently great a shrill
cry is cmitted by the chief, the net is
pushed forward all along the line, and
the struggling creatures caught in the
meshes of the net are unmercifully
whipped to death by the jubilant sav-
ages. Monkeys, constitute one of
their favorite tid-bits, which are all
the more appreciated as they are not
so readily caught. Snakes are sim-
ply killed with blows from a switch
and are generally in high favor. Ac-
cording to the missionary their pop-
ularity is well deserved. He himself
took part in a meal in which snakes
formed the chief attraction and found
that this animal could be favorably
compared with ¢ prime eel. Most
popular of all delicacies, however, are
the caterpillars. It is not unusual to
learn of a quarrel which has broken
out among the natives for their pos-
session. The most favorable time for
catching them is the early morning and
late evening hours, when their wings
are heavy with dew and they are un-
able to see clearly. The children ot
the mission, numbering about 400, hav-
ing organized a locust hunt, succeeded
one day in capturing no less than 160
pounds of these insects, which were
consumed with the greatest avidity
before the day had passed. At certain
times of the year the great white-
winged ants leave the earth, and it is
then that a most zealous competition
arises between the Kaffir children and
the chickens of the dorp for the pos-
session of the prized morsels.

were served by the son,
the home of his father, Justice Alex-
ander Kane, where they were ar-
raigned for disturbing the peace. The
widows’ tongues wagged vigorously
end charges and counter-charges were
made. The pent-up feelings of re-
sentment that had so long slumbered
on the altar of love, burst into flame,
and, for a while, there was a very
lively time.
Then an odd compromise was ef-
fected. A joint consultation was held,
and, as a result, Justice Kane, the
father, wedded one of the widows and
his son, Constable Kane, took unto
himself as bride the other widow.
Thus has the feud of love on Armena
mountain been wiped out.
Wool from Many Sheep.
A wool sorter is a factory hand who
stands all day at a table on which
great soft masses of wool are piled,
sifting out the dirt and waste from
this, and sorting the good wool that
remains. In a single tleece (or shear-
ing from one sheep) there are 352
grades of wool. These fleeces do not
come to the sorter whole, but piece-
meal, jumbled together in great bags.
He recognizes their several grades as
a pianist does the keys of his instru-
ment, states the Philadelphia Record.
A good sorter can also tell at a glance
the nationality of his wool, whether it
be Chinese, Egyptian, Persian, Alas-
kan, ete., while in the case of West-
ern, American or Territory wool he
can even hit on the Territory it
from, being gnided by the texture of
the staple and by its color,
corresponds with the color of the soil
on which the Sheep has gr aged:

Trench Process Supposed to Be Filled
with Nutriment.
Bread-making is so important a fact’
of economy and existence that it even
interests the officials of the United
States government. The United States
consul at Roubaix, France, recently
sent to the state department a very ac-
curate description of the Schweitzer
system of bread-making, which is now
being operated at a suburb of Paris,
and which is to be established in all
the cities of France by a society or-
ganized for that purpose. It is claimed
tor the Schweitzer bread that it con-
tains more nutritive nitrogenous prop-
erties than bakars’ bread and double
the phosphates to be found in the lat-
ter. The system consists of converting
the wheat into bread within a short
time after it enters the mill to be
ground into flour. Ati the Schweitzer
establishment the wheat is first treat-
ec to a cleaning process, being brushed
and washed. Then each grain is split
in two, after which ihe wheat goes to
the grinders, which crush it in such a
way as to retain in the flour all the
gluten and other nutritive properties,
the bran alone being expelled. The
freshly ground flour 1s mixed with
yeast, salt and filtered water and car-
ried at once by machinery to the knead-
ers, which are operated by steam. It
is possible to knead 4,409 pounds of
dough per hour. When the dough
comes from the kneaders it is carried
automatically to a room, where it is
cut into loaves of all sizes and shapes.
The bread is then baked in gas ovens
of a peculiar device. By this system
of bread-making it is said to be possi-
ble to get 100 pounds of wholesome
bread from 100 pounds of grain. This
bread is sold at the rate of less than §
cents for a loaf weighing over two
pounds, which is nearly 2 cents a loaf
less than the usual price for bread.
Ten ‘big two-horse wogan loads of
bread are sent out from the establish-
ment twice a day and the trade is
STOWIng.
Cleanliness.
One of the most important factors
in maintaining health in good order
cleanliness. It is comprised in meas-
ures that tend to keep the organs clean
and in proper order to perform all
their functions. The cleanliness of the
skin and the air (purity of the air)
that we breathe in are essential for the
proper keeping of one’s health. Any
fmpurities that are taken in breathing
find their way to the blood, and thus
serve so many centers of disease, and
are the cause of many infectious dis-
Again, i? the skin is not kept
clean the impurities that are to be se-
creted are unduly accumulated in the
bleed and tend to give rise to severe
and often dangerous disorders, such as
skin diseases and blood-poisoning.

GEN. H. GROSVENOR,
| ONE OF THE MOST FORCEFUL
MEN IN CONGRESS.
His Readiness for Battle Is One of
His Leading Tralts—Has Served Near-
ly Twenty Years in the Lower House
at Washington.
There is no more interesting mem-
ber of the present House of Represen-
(atives at Washington than General
Charles H. Grosvenor of Ohio, whose
name, after the retirement of Speaker
Reed, was coupled with the speaker-
ship.
One of the most prominent traits of
Gen. Grosvenor is his pugnacity. He
has been in Congress nearly twenty
years, and has been fighting all that
time. There is nothing he likes better
than a scrap, and there is always fun
in the air when be gets up to speak.
- ZS
GEN. CH ARLES 0 'GROSVENOR.
He is all angles and points, and his en-
trance into a debate is the signal for
the bristling of all the feathers on the
Democratic side. He is as obnoxious
to his oppenents as a cat is to a poul-
try yard.
Grosvenor is one of the most effec-
tive debaters in the House. He knows
political history for the last thirty
vears and he has every man’s political
record tucked away somewhere in his
well-filled brain,
it at a moment's notice.
bim a very ugly customer.
the resources of a great criminal law-
yer in controversy. Before he ever
went to Congress he had a reputation
in his state as one of the best crimi-
nal lawyers who ever practiced in
Ohio—and that is saying a gocd deal,
He is some years on the sunny side of
{ 60, but his appearance is that of a
man older than this. He is of meagre
size with white hair and white beard
and a pair of shaggy eyebrows beneath
which gleam a pair of very bright eyes.
He served all through the war in an
Ohio regiment from 1861 to 1865 and
was promoted from major to colonel,
retiring with a brevet of brigadier gen-
eral of volunteers. In the battle of
Nashville he commanded a brigade.
Since the war he has never ceased to
take up the cudgels for his old com-
rades in arms. There hag never been
a pension biil that he did not vote for,
and he always hits out from the shoul-
der when veterans are under attack.
Grosvenor is not a political manager
or organizer like some others in Ohio,
but he is one of the most effective lieu-
tenants that a great political organizer
could ask for. When Mark Hanna was
setting up the campaign which resulted
in McKinley's nomination, Grosvenor,
who couldn't consent to lie {dle, began
to give out estimates from time to time
of the number of delegates McKinley
had secured. He had no authoritative
statistics, but he took the most favor-
papers, adding a few McKinley dele-
gates here and there, to suit his taste,
and once a week would issue a bulle-
tin which kept the McKinley column
continually on the jump. Pretty soon
people began to take Grosvenor’s fig-
ures seriously. He chuckled to himself
and kept it up. When the convention
finally met there was a landslide and
Grosvenor found himself more than
Justified. Since that time he has en-
joyed a reputation as a great statisti-
cian, although he really cares very lit-
tle about political mathematics. He
has a rich sense of humor, though,
that helps him to carry his reputation
{th a great deal of tranquility.
DAWSON OF 1800.
City Has Changed Greatiy
Past Year.
Dawson of 1898,
the year previous. The thousands of
against the river front, in rows six:
deep and more, and comprising all |
manner of craft from the small canoe |
to sliced sections of scows, have mostly
disappeared, and in their place we now
find the graceful and ungraceful forms
of varying types of steamboat. It is
no uncommon thing nowadays to find
five or more of these larger craft tied
up at one time to the river front, and
the amplitude and majesty of the Mis- |
issippi boats gain but little in com-
parison with some of the larger craft
of the Yukon river. Overhung signs
call attention to the flying queens of!
the river, the Bonanza King, Canadian |
and Sibyl, and thousands are offered |
upon the result of the race to the
White Horse rapids. So here, as in the |
olden days of the Mississippi, the
struggle for supremacy has led to the
opening of the throttle and to the]
scraping of the fire-box. Upward of a
hundred arrivals from down the river
were registered at Dawson during the
season of open water of 1899.—Apple-

The method of making sheet lead for

the feet. The sheet is afterwards
trimmed to suitable sizes and shapes
for soldering and is used for packing.
