LIFE AND DEATH.
I.ike unto day, from morning until eve,
Is Life, and, as all days do vary, so
Is each life different And, as we kuotv,
Not what the day will be, and yet believe
'Twill pass as have others, that the flight
lloes but forerun another day more bright.
So ia't with life: we may not understand,
Yet, trusting Him, we treud the pathway
To Death; and find upon his darkened
shore
A Heavenly bark, by Heavenly angels
manned.
Which bears us swiftly o'er the dividingsea
To perfect life beyond -Eiernity.

AFTER ALL
Tom Barclay and Elizabeth Murray
never understood each other very well,
and yet they had been engaged for a year.
They had known each other long before
the engagement, too, but although a
man seldom quite understands a woman,
Tom was even more dense in this respect
than most men; and Elizabeth, more
difficult than most women lor any man
to comprehend, unconscious of the fact,
wondered at Tom's many failures in this
direction.
They were very good friends, how
ever, and thought they loved each other
—had even said so in strict confidence;
and, as I said, were engaged to be mar
ried. In fact, Miss Murray was already
at the mercy of dressmakers and milli-!
ners, for it was December—late Decem
ber—and the wedding was set for the
10th of January.
One night, the dressmakers and milli
ners having kindly waived their claims
for a few hours, Mr. Barclay called to
see his prospective bride. He was not
in the best possible humor: an ugly cast
wind drove the sleet iuto his face as he
walked the few blocks from the cable
ears to Miss Murray's home, for Tom
thought too much of his horses to take
them out on such a night; a man had
failed him in au important business ap
pointment, and it is quite possible that
he was a trifle bilious; at all events, he
was about as cross as he ever allowed
himself to become.
Now it happened that Elizabeth was
nearly worn out with the turmoil incident
to the preparations for a fashionable
wedding. She was nervous and irritable;
probably the east wind alTected her also.
She needed some one to smooth her hair ;
talk tender, comforting words—in short,
pet her until she was rested; for the
woman never yet lived who did not
like occassional petting.
Now Thomas Barclay was not a demon
strative man, and petting was somewhat
out of his line. How was he to know,
especially in his unamiable mood, that
the young girl soon to become his wife
was in no comdition to meet impatience
patiently?
"Thank fortune," he said ungracious
ly, kissing her as a matter of course,
and dropping into a chair, "this dress
making row will soon be over. I've
scarcely seen you for a month. I won't
have a dressmaker on the place after we
are married."
Mr. Barclay did not mean anything by
this speech; it was simply an ebullition
of. temper, and Elizabeth should have
met it as such. It suited her mood, how
ever, to retort with:
"Indeed! 1 mean to have a dress
maker in the house all the time."
"I wouldn't if I were you," disagree
ably, "especially against my wishes."
"And if I should?" she returned de
fiantly.
"Well—" then common sense asserted
itself, and lie laughed. "Do you know,
Beth, wc arc just ready to quarrel about
nothing? My wife will probably do as
she pleases."
Miss Murray did not smile. She was
morbidly sensitive, and an ugly thought
had lodged in her brain. .She said
quietly,—'
"Tom, I don't like that remark of
yours at all. I wonder if it is possible
that after our marriage you would at
tempt to coerce me in the least?"
Tom was obstinate. It would have
been better not to have asked the ques
tion. He said:
"A woman promises to obey when she
marries."
"Not always: the word is frequently
left out of the marriage service. It would
be better left out of ours."
"Do you mean that you will not
obey?" asked he, looking at her cu
riously.
"Just that."
"A man is the head of the family; it
is a wife's duty to obey."
"Sol have heard. I never thought
of marriage in this light before—a bon
dage. It seems to mc that a woman's
freedom is something not to be given up
lightly. I have never been dictated to
by any one since I left school, and do not
believe I should take it kindly. Tom, I
don't believe I want to marry you or !
anybody ; why," with a sudden flash of
passion, "if you laid a command npon
me after our marriage, I really believe I
should hate you! "
It crossed Tom's mind that it might be
as well for a man to curb his temper till
after the wedding day. lie rose, walked
across the room, pushed aside the heavy
curtain, and looked out. The prospect
was not j(leasing; the sky was black, and
the driving sleet pelted against the plate
glass. lie came back to where Miss
Murray -at looking into the lire and ap
parently lost in thought.
" Elizabeth, I thought you loved mc."
44 Did you? I thought so too, though
I have been told often enough that 1
didn't."
"Who told you so?"
' Mamma for one, Aunt Clare for an
other. You see, mamma married papa
for love when he was a poor man, and
Aunt Clare's husband died before the
honeymoon was over. She mourns him
yet. They always said that I didn't
know the first principles of love; per
haps they were right."
Mr. Barclay was never so thoroughly
astonished in his twenty-eight years of
life; he asked, rather stiffly
" Will you kindly state why you en
gaged yourself to me?"
"Well, Tom, I always liked you.
We've known each other for years. Our
families arc intimate. What more nut
ural than that you, the only son, und I.
the only daughter, should marry? Be
• sides," with a little break in the clear
voice. u until tonight I thought you
loved me."
Tom pulled his chair close to Eliza
beth's and drew her head down to his
shoulder. He ought to have done that
earlier in the evening Then he said.
44 My dear, what possesses you? You !
kuow I love you."
For an instant the yellow head rested
where ho had placed it; then Miss Mur
ray drew herself away and rose to her
feet.
44 No, Tom, it is too late to make me
believe that. We arc not fitted to make
each other happy ; I am quite certain of
it. Let us break oil our engagement."
44 And all on account of that speech
of mine nbont a dressmaker I" he cx
claimed savagely.
"Not entirely that. I feel that you do
not love me, and something tells me
that I ought not to be your wife.'"
Mr. Barclay, man-like, loved the
woman who was slipping away from
him at this moment, better than ever be
fore, and he had loved her always in his
way; he hud made a mistake in not
showing his affection more plainly.
"Beth," he said. 4 'forgive me. I
didn't mean it. I was a brute. As my
, wile you will be free as air; you must
know that. Think a moment; it is not
an unpardonable offence, is it?"
"I tell you it is not because of what
you said," she reiterated. "It is because
I know you do not love me, and that I
am not sure that I love you."
Mr. Barclay's temper began to rise
again, lie remarked:
"This is a nice statement for a man to
hear three weeks before his marriage!"
"Much nicer than it would be three
weeks after," she retorted. "The in
vitations are not out; no one outside of
our families kuow that the day was set.
I will take my finery," she added, with a
smile, 44 and go to Italy. Take your
ring, Tom, and say good-by," drawing l
off the diamond.
Mechanically Tom dropped the circlet
iuto his pocket. Suddenly lie took a
step toward her, caught her in his arms,
kissed her once—twice—three times, with
all the passion of a man who loves, then,
releasing tier, turned and left the room,
while Miss Murray, white and trembling,
sank into her chair, liid her face and
cried bitterly.
Much to Elizabeth's surprise Mr. Bar
day made no attempt to see or speak to
her again. She explained, where it was
necessary:
"Mr. Barclay and I have changed our
minds."
A month later she and Aunt Clare were
outward bound, with Italy for their goal, j
The remainder of the winter and the fol
lowing spring and summer were spent
roaming from place to place; then one
of those financial cyclones called a panic i
swept over the I'nited States, and Miss
Murray and her aunt were called home. <
Thsmas Barclay, though a young man,
was a large dealer in coffees, teas and
spices. His was one of a dozen firms
that failed that autumn. Dishonest and
unfortunate creditors had cost him a
hundred thousand dollars. But that cut
no ligure in settling up his own affairs.
He cleared his stables, sold every inch of
real estate, and when his own creditors
were paid dollar for dollar, Mr. Barclay
had a clean conscience, a stainless rec
ord, and five thousand dollars in cash.
lie went West, and Miss Murray heard
no more of him. ller father, an impor
ter of silks and foreign fabrics, curtailed
expenses, and, aided by a generous
loan from Aunt Clare, weathered the
storm.
< >ne summer two years later, Elizabeth
and her mother joined a party who were
going to make a tour of the northwest,
penetrating even the wilds of Aluska be
fore their return.
It was in Portland that Miss Murray
met with an accident, and a treacherous
banana peeling was to blame for it.
She had gone out alone to make some
small purchases, and stepping on the
deceitful peel fell to the ground.
A crowd was gathering. A gentleman
offered his assistance, and Elizabeth was
taken to the nearest store, while the
gentleman called a carriage and then
accompanied her home. It was Tom
Barclay.
In spite of the pain, Miss Murray could
not help looking at the man who was to
have been her husband. That individ
ual met her eyes and said:
"Well?"
Miss Murray blushed painfully, con
scious that she had been staring.
44 It is so long since I have seen you,
and we used to be such good friends,"
she replied gently.
44 Whose fault is it that you have not
seen me for so long?" he demanded; and
then, noting her fading color and pule
lips, he said. 44 What a brute I am to
question you so, when you are suffering
such pain! I was never gentle enough
to win your love, Beth."
44 Did you ever try, Tom?"
44 1 thought I did."
44 Did you take everything for
granted—that you loved me, and that I
cared for you, and that in the course of j
human events it was natural and proper
that we should get married?"
44 Perhaps so," he answered quietly; J
and then the carriage stopped, the driver
was at the door, and Elizabeth was j
carried up to her room.
It was an ugly, obstinate sprain, and
held its victim a prisoner for six long !
weeks. The party went on to Alaska,
leaving Mrs. Murray and her daughter
at the hotel, and quite as a matter of
course, Tom Barclay called often. lie
was wonderfully gentle toward the
woman who had refused to be his wife.
Elizabeth did not know that he was try -
ing to win her love, but Mrs. Murray
was well aware of that fact, and well
satisfied, too. Tom was established in
the old business in Portland, and again
on the road to wealth. She had always
liked him, and shrewdly suspected that
his presence on this planet had some -
thing to do with her daughter's strange
indifference to certain brilliant matrimo
uial chances.
As for Elizabeth, -he was utterly con
tent and happy during the period of in
validism that confined her to the house.
What cared she for the beauties of
Alaska, of which her friends wrote such
glowing descriptions? Did she not have
long talks with Tom every other even
ing. Though she took care that he
knew nothing of her quickening heart
beats and bounding pulses whenever he
approached.
Elizabeth had been able to walk for a
week. Her friends were .due in two
days on their return trip, and she and
her mother were to join them and start 1
immediately for home.
Mr. Barclay asked the convalescent to
take a ride with him. lie was thirty
one, Elizabeth twenty-five. Mrs. Mur
ray did not think a chaperon necessary;
neither did Tom. They went alone.
They were fur better acquainted than
in the days when they were engaged.
Miss Murray admired the honest courage,
the persevering independence, with
which her friend was rebuilding his
fortune, and Tom loved her as he always
had, as he ulways would, and had
j learned to show his affection in many of
the thousand ways that delight a
woman's heait.
They talked of the scenery, of her ac
cident, and then of the coining parting.
Suddenly Tom exclaimed:
14 Oh Beth, my darling, give me a word
of hope before you go! You were mis
taken in the old days. I always loved
you, and now that we have met again, I
cannot let you go out of my lite forever."
44 If you always loved mc, why have
you beensilentall these years?" inquired
Elizabeth.
44 Because 1 was stunned that night
when I left you, realizing that by my
own stupid blundering I had lost you.
Then I set myself to do a penance. I
said, 4 I will wait three years; if another
wins her I shall know that she could
never love me; if not, I will try again to
gain her love. Perhaps I shall know her
better.' You know the rest. The
I crash came. I had to come West and
> begin over again. lam not as rich as I
i was then, but there is every prospect
that I shall be, and I know, Beth, that
i inouey makes no difference. I can give
you ever thing you want, even the dress
maker; and indeed, indeed, darling,
• that speech of mine was only the out
- come of bad temper, and" (hesitatingly)
"perhaps I understand a woman's moods
[ little better now than then."
There was a short silence, whiA Mr.
Barclay, having made his plea, waited
for the verdict. At length Elizabeth
said softly
'•Perhaps I loved you then, Tom. I
could never care for any one else. I
always compared cthermcu with you, to
their disadvantage. If you care to come
after me, some time, 1 will be your
wife."
Out of an inner pocket Tom took a
tiny morocco case, and opening it, Miss
Murray saw the solitaire that had been
her engagement ring.
t4 I have always carried it with me,"
he said simply, "because you had woru
it."
Somehow the tears sprang to Eliza
beth's eyes when he slipped it on her
linger.
Mrs. Murray was not at all surprised
when her daughter announced with a
blush, that she was going to marry
Thomas Barclay.
"I always thought you would," that
lady replied calmly.
The next winter Tom went cast after
his bride. They are happier than they
would have been without that quarrel, a
blending ot comedy and high tragedy,
but it does not follbw that any one
should go and do likewise. ( Yankee

WONDERS IN BONES.
Some Curious Facts in Osseous
Structure Little Dreamed Of.
Exhibited in a glass case at the Nation
al Museum there is a bone—a human
tibia—tied in a knot. It has been ren
dered thus flexible by soaking it in acid,
which has dissolved out of it all its
mineral parts, leaving ouly the animal
portion. This portion makes about one
third of the bone, which fact might sur
prise some people who suppose that their
bones arc almost wholly lime.
"There arc funny things about bones
other than funny bones," said an oste
ologist connected with the Smithsonian
Institution to a writer for the Washing
ton Star. "For example, the bones of
birds are hollow and filled with warm
air from the lungs, so it may be said
that a bird breathes down to its very
toes and to the tips of its wings. In
fact, if you break off the wing of a duck
the animal can actually breathe through
the broken end of the bone though you
hold its head under water. Some of the
gigantic reptiles of the mesozoic epoch,
which some scientists claim to have been
the aucestors of man, had hollow bones
similarly filled with air from the lungs,
for the support of their bodies in the
water while they browsed upon seaweeds
near shore, their massive and solid leg
bones serving them as anehors, in a
depth about sufficient to cover their
backs.
''People continually imagine that their
bones are of solid mineral construction,
without any feeling in them. No one
who has ever had a leg or an arm cut off
is likely to indulge such a mistaken no
tion. Comparatively speakiug, little
pain is felt when the flesh is being cut
through, but when the bone is attacked
by the saw, oh, my!
44 You see, as a matter of fact, there
are blood vessels and nerves inside the
bones, just as there are on the outside.
Any one who has purchased a beefsteak
at the market knows about the marrow
iu the bone. It is the same with other
animals than the beef, including human
beings. Through the marrow run the
nerves and blood vessels, entering the
bones from the flesh without by little
, holes, which you can see for yourself any
• time by examining a skeleton or part of
one. When the discjise called rheuma
tism, which no physician understands,
affects the nerves within the bones, no
j way has been discovered for treating it
• successfully. It does not do to smile
when a person says lie feels a tiling In
his bones.
1 "Nature adapts the bony structure of
various animals to their habits in a very
I interesting manner. Sluggish creatures
| like the sloth have solid bones, whereas
j the bones of the deer and the antelope
j are comparatively light, so that they
| may run fast, and the leg bones of the
j ostrich are hollow. You will find in
the bones of any skeletou the applica
tion of mechanical principles which have
only become known to man through the
processes of laborious and long-consid
ered invention. In your own shoulder
you have a most beautiful and perfect
illustration of the 'ball-and-socket
joint,' while it yonr elbow there is a
combination of the hinge and ball aud
socket which in its way surpasses any
thing that human invention has been
able to accomplish thus far. But these
arc simple things compared with the
hand, the bones of which exhibit the
most perfect and complete apparatus, in
its adaptation to the purposes for which
it is intended, that has ever been imag
ined."
Eskimos Save a Ship.
A number of years ago one of the ships
of the cryolite fleet got nipped in the ice
off the coast above the Arsuk fiord. The
captain in a panic abandoned her and
lied ashore in the small boats. Next day
some Eskimos, fishing with their kayaks
off shore, saw the ship drifting there and
boarded her. Then they lifted the
hatches, and finding some water in her,
took some sort of an instrument and
marked on a stanchion the height of the
water in the hold. Then they went on
deck and went away fishing again. Af
ter a time they went bark and looked at
the water-mark and found the water was
not gaining perceptibly. Now, in every
settlement there are men who can steer a
ship, and oeveral in this party were able
to do so. They also knew how to loos
en the sails, but did not know how to
sheet home. So they loosened all the
sails and let them hang and then
the wind being fair, headed her
tor the fiord and brought her in.
The captain and his crew were in another
settlement, but near by, and soon heard
that the shin had been brought in. So
they boarded her again, pumped her out,
went to Ivigtut, loaded and sailed for
Philadelphia, making up a story the while
to excuse the panic. '1 ho facts were re
ported to the colonial department in
Denmark, as everything done in Green
land in, and after awhile the owners of
the ship, Messrs. McKay & Dix, of New
York, received a letter from that depart
ment which politely referred to the case,
and said that a just regard for the inte
rests of the Eskimo wards of the nation
demanded that some effort be made to
obtain a suitable reward for the men who
saved the ship. Did the owners of the
ship think that a thousand kroners would
be too much to give in the way of such
a reward ? The owners were as ready to
pay the reward as the Danish government
. was to ask it, and the Eskimos got the
I money or its equivalent.—[Goldthwnite's

FACTS ABOUT TEETH.
MAX NOT A CARNIVOROUS ANI
MAL BY NATURE.
Various Purposes to Which Different
Kinds of Teeth Are Put—Creatures
That Have Teeth on Their Tongues
—Fangs of Poison Snakes.
"You will often liear it said that man
is by nature a carnivorous animal, as is
shown by the incisors or so-called 'ca
nine' teeth with which he is provided,
but it is not true. Human beings are
carnivorous only by habit, and not by
nature." It was Osteologist Lucas of the
Smithsonian Institution who said so to a
writer for the Star, and he added:
"You see, it is always from an animal's
teeth that the diet intended for it by
nature is judged. Hut the fact that it
has incisors does not prove that it is
carnivorous. There are plenty of purely
vegetable-eating beasts which have
well-developed incisors. Take the mon
key, for example. Monkeys'incisors are
much more developed than those of man,
but they are exclusively fruit eaters, the
incisors being merely useful lor lighting.
We, who are descended from anthro
poid apes, still have the canine teeth,
but, for the reason that we no longer
employ them for combative purposes,
they have become smaller. Man was
originally frugivorous, presumably,
though the time when he first began to
eat meat must have been very far back,
judging from the remains of extinct
mammals found in the caves among the
ashes of his cooking lires which burned
hundreds of thousands of years ago.
"It is by the teeth of mammals that
they are most readily classified, inasmuch
as the dentition illustrates the food of
the animal and the general habits which
necessarily depend upon its manner of
procuring food. The teeth by which
these things are determined are not the
incisors, but the molars or grinders. A
mammal usually has several kinds of teeth
in its jaws. Take the monkey, for ex
ample. Its front teeth are for catching
up and nipping little things. With
them it catches and kills its parasites, as
does likewise a dog. Its incisors are for
fighting, although in the carnivora they
arc employed to pierce the ficsh deeply
so as to open the veins and bleed the
victim to death. Thus you will find that
a tiger will know by instinct where to
strike the jugular vein of au ox, of the
location of which 1 dare sav that you
yourself are not very definitely aware.
Behind the incisors in the monkey, as
well as in man, are found the pre-molars,
which are for cutting up what is to be
swallowed, while the molars themselves
perform the grinding process.
"The tusks of an elephant arc the
upper incisions of the beast. They arc
not intended for chewing, however, but
for defense. You find all through creation
the most astonishing adaptation of the
teeth to necessity. You are familiar, of
course, with the mighty ivory lance of
the narwhal, ten or twelve feet in length
and strong and sharp enough to be driven
through the side of a ship. That lance
is simply the left upper incisor of the
mammal. Once in a while by a freak
both of the upper incisors will be devel
oped in the narwhal so that it is c|Uippcd
ped with two spears instead of one. The
tooth in this case is designed for a
weapon in fighting. The female has no
lance. Look at the swordtish. The en
tire length of its saw, which is a prolon
gation of the nasal process, is fringed
with teeth. Again you have a weapon
merely, the manner of the creature being
to strike right and left for the purpose
of wounding its prey. In mammals,
however, the teeth are restricted to the
jawbones. Lizards and snakes have
them on the bones of the palate as well.
True bony teeth arc peculiar to animals
which have backbones. The most elab
orate dental apparatus known belongs
to the sea urchin, whose jaws are com
posed of forty pieces, moved by forty
separate muscles. Snails have a sort of
ribbon with which they rasp their food
as with a file. An tenters, though they
are mammals, have no teeth at all; but
they get there just the same, having no
need to chew their prey. The whale
bone whale is another mammal that has
no teeth, its practice being to swallow
its food whole.
"The biggest of fresh water fishes, the
'arapaima' of the Amazon in South
America, which grows to six feet in
length, has teeth on its tongue, so that
the latter resembles the file and is used
as such. Some kindi of trout also have
the same peculiarity. Fishes that swal
low their prey entire have their teeth so
supported on flexible bases as to bend
backward but not forward, in order that
their victims shall not escape after they
have been once seized. In ages gone by
there were ferocious sharks, such as
would make a mouthful of you without
blinking, seventy feet in length. Plenty
of their teeth have been found which
arc five inches long, whereas the biggest
of the teeth belonging to sharks that
exist at the present day are one and a
half inches long.
"Certain animals have teeth which
grow during all their lives. The rat
and the squirrel are examples of this.
Our own teeth are developed from pulps
which are absorbed and disappear after
the teeth are grown, but in a rat's tooth
the pulp is perpetual, and is continually
secreting material by which the incisor
gains length. Therefore the animal is
obliged to gnaw all the time to keep the
tooth ground down to the proper length.
It is commonly imagined that the rat
keeps gnawing from pure cussedness,
but such is not the case. Sometimes it'
happens that the beast's upper and lower
incisors do not meet properly, so that it
is unable to gnaw, and its teeth keep
growing around in a spiral. Cases have
been known where a rat's tooth grew in
this manner through its skull so as to
pierce the brain and kill the unfortu
nate. The biggest teeth I know of are
those of the mastodon, which wo have in
the shape of fossils. One advantage
about teeth is that they are harder than
almost anything else in nature and will
last longer, so that they may be picked
up in an excellent state of preservation
ages after the animals to which they ori
ginally belonged are dead.
You often hear of rendering a rattle
snake harmless by pulling out its fangs.
Then again you read of coses where a
serpent so treated has bitten persons fa
tally. The reason for this is that a poi
sonous snake is deprived only temporar
ily of its venomous powers by extraction
of the two incisors in the tipper jaw, at
the bases of which are the poison glands.
Of course you know that the fangs are
hollow, so that when the animal strikes
the venom gushes through them into the
person struck. Now, by drawing the
two teeth the snake may be rendered
harmless for a few weeks, but after a
short time the two teeth just behind the
o.iginal move up and take their
places, making connections with the poi
son glands and thus becoming poison
fangs as good and effective as the old
ones."—[Washington Star.

Gents: In praise of Kendall's Spavin Cure I will
say. that a year ago I hud a valuable youug horse be
come very lame, iioek enlarged and swollen. The
horsemen about liero (we huve no Veterinary Sur
geon here) pronounced his lameness Blood Spavin
or Thoroughpln, they all told me there was no
cure for it, he became about useless, and I con
sidered him almost worthless. A friend told me of
the merits of your Kendall's Spavin Cure, so I
bought a bottle, and I could see very plainly great
Improvements Immediately from its use .and before
the bottle was used up I was SATISFIED that it was
doing hlin a great deal of good. I bought A second
bottle and L>efore it was used up MY horse was
cured und has been in the team doing heavy work
all the season since last April, showing no mora
signs of It. I consider your Kendall's Spavin Cure
a valuablo medicine, and It should bo in every
stable In the laud. Respectfully yours.
EUGENE DEWITT.
