Sweet Miss Margery
With a little laugh Vane put her band
on his lips and flitted away, walk Stuart
hilted to a gardener and ordered the
pony -males° to be brought round.
Vane was down again almest immedi-
ately, her face nearly as pale RS her
outdo's. It Was but a few minutes be-
fore the carriage appeared, yet to Stuart
they eeented hems. He tried to laugh at
the absurdity of the report, yet a pre-
sentiment of trouble posseeeed him.
"It cannot be, it cannot aei" Vane
heard him mutter again and again; and
then he approached her.
"Tell me once more the messages she

hall just as they were (starting.

"To the village 1. shall be bacle soon,

sought the squire's room, and, in a chat
over by -gone years, lost for awhile shis
anxious, restless expression.
Stuart sat silent beside his cousin as
they bowled along the lane to the
lege; and Vane glanced now and again
at his pale, pained face, wondering,
when he knew the truth, what, his op-
inion would be 'of her.
The village reached, he broke the eil-
ence by asking Vane to drive straight to
the little cottage by the Weald; and,
without a word, she complied. She drew
up the ponies on the brew of the hill;
and Stuart, heedless of bis aching arm
and weakness, alighted, and walked down
to the gate he knew's° well. It was just
such an afternoon as that on which he
had parted from Margery, and the me-
mory of her beauty and sweetness lent
strength to his faltering steps and fed
the eagerness and desire In his heart. He
pushed open the gate and enterea. The

every effort. He greW faint and cold, and

breeze seemed to whisper to him a sense
of lila loss in all its bitterness.
Margery was gone! But why—and whi-
ther? He turned and walked down the
garden, his head drooping dejectedly on
his breast. Margery gone! What could

him He closed the gate behind
him and turned away. There was a
inan standing at the gate of the next
cottage, and at first Stuart determined
to pass him; but a sudden impulse
seized him, and he stopped and. spoke
with forced lightness.
"Ah, Carter—lovely v:eather for the

'Good afterecion, quire. Hope I see'

Stuart's left hand grasped the gate.
"Bather sudden, isn't it? he ques-
tioned, trying to elear his voice.
"Well, sir, it were, rather; but you

"And he las gone alone ir asked
Stuart, every nerve in his body quiver-

Sir Hubert and my lady ain't coming

why Margery went, 'cos she belongs like

Stuart murmured a few vague words
in reply, and then passed on.
"Good arternoon," said Carter; and

when he'd have made her his wife,

Bright loosened Stuart's hand, and
with a respectful salute to Vane, passed
on, something like a tear twinkling in
his eye.
Vane loked straight ahead, pretending
not to see the quick, hurried way in
which Stuart bent his head for a mo-

BEST ENGLISH.
The Met essential toward. the Recur -
ate use of Englieh is to know the real
meanings of words, and then to choose
the right one to express the idea, What-
ever is expressed to Engliehemealting
people should be in the English tongue,
with no foreign phrases introduced. It
is always better form to the the fa-
miliar names of familiar things and
ideas, to use shuttle Englo-Saxon words
that belong less to literary language
than to living speech. and are more
readily understood, that the longer
words of foreign origin. A short word
saves time for both writer and, reader,
and, our ordinary speech should. not be
burdened with the high-sounding words
necessary for the treatment of most
subjects remote from ordinary events
and simple feelings.
Let uattherefore, "read" the morning
paper, and let the pedant "peruse" it.
Let us "see" the beauties of the sea, and
sky, and not "discern" or "witness" a
sunset. Let us "build" a "house" and
make of it A 'home,' allowing a crown
prince to "erect" a "residence." Let us
"oversee" our household, not "super-
vise" it, Why should we drop so hearty
a word. as "kinsman," adopting the
vague and misty substitutes of "rela-
tion" and "connection," forced upon us
by elegant people? Nothing is gained
and much is lost, for the latter are both
general, terms. Men have relations of
various kinds, and connections are of
still wider distribution, whereas a man's
kinsmen are „only those of his own blood.

Then Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
Wrought a Lasting Cure
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have made
so many remarkable' cures in serious
eases that people are liable to over-
look their value as a tonic for the
blood and nerves in debility and
general rundown conditions, That
such conditions are the cause of much
misery and unhappiness is fully
known to those who suffer from them
and the ;mad of curing them is ite
vital as is relief iron diseases with
higher sounding names. We com-
mend the following statement to any
one suffering from weak, thin blood,
or shattered nerves. Airs. Mae Ala-
cabe, Gleichen, Alta., says: '-ek few
years ago I became run doitn, not
seriously itt, but just tired and weak
all the time. I consulted our family
doctor, who gave . me tonic after
tonic, with no effect. I gradually got
weaker and weaker until I could not
do ray work. Then I went to another
&dee, who pronounced. my case one
of deoline, and recommended a wann-
er elimatg, with complete rest-. This
1 could Tot afford, and I began to
worry and fret until I became a
complete 'nervous wreck. One day,
while visiting a neighbor, an old gen-
tleman who was taking Dr. Williams'
Pink Pine for partial paralysis re-
commended them to me. I sent out
and got three boxes, but without
much faith that they would help me,
kit before they were gone 1 noticed
an improvement, and 1 eontinued tak-
ing the Pills, constantly growing
stronger, until I hall taken seven or
eight boxes, when 1 WRS completely
cured. 1 could do My work as easily
as ever 1 had done iu my lifeaand the
doctor told me that he could scarcely
believe the change in me, as ha had not
had the least hope that 1 would be
strong again. Now I always keep the
Pills on hand, sad if 1 feel fatigued or
weary take them for three or four days,
so as not to get run down/',

AMALGAMATION OF FLOAT GOLD
A patent Inc a process of amaIgama.
tion of float gold has been taken out in
France. By a kind of capillarity parti-
cles of gold are not wetted in washing,
and remain, in spite of their density, on
the surfate or hi suspension, and they
also resist the action of mercury. To
prevent this capillarity it is sufficient to
add a caustic su.bstance to the water to
clean the gold, moans atamonia, lithia,
potash, and soda, or salts of these alka-
lies. The gold particles not wetted by
pure' water are reached by alkaline li-
quids and obey the law of gravity. The
solution hag also a favorable influence
on the bath of mercury, keeping the sur.
face clean.

IN THE PHILIPPINES.
One of the Hottest Fights Li General
Funston's Career.
In order that I might be able to exer-
cise some influence on the firing line
as a whole, and not get mixed up in
a local fight where I could aeci only
one or two-etempanies'I remained about
two hundred yabehindrds ehind the line for
the time being. Here I was joined by
the well known correspondent, Mr, Jas.
Creelman. I had sent Sergeant-Major
Warner and Trumpter Barshfield away
to carry orders, and was glad to have
company. The noise was so overwhelm-
ing that it was difficult to think, for
the whole brigade was fighting as hard
as it could and the woods were filled
with the rear. Oreelman and I sat on
our borses for a while, and then unani-
mously dismounted, the idea teeming to
strike both us at the same time. Com-
panies E and H had struck the woret
of it, being opposite the most formid-
able trench, and Oreelman and I were
directly behind them. A natural ten
denoy of the Filipino, and for that mat-
ter, most people, to ehoot high made
our position one of the warmest places
I have ever been in. Only once, and
that at Caseorra, in far -away Cuba,
had I seen bullets thicker. The two
companies were right on the river bank,
and as the stream was not more than
forty feet wide, and the Filipino
trenches were on the opposite bank,
the two firing lines were not more than
fifty feet apart. The river looked deep,
but ae yet our people had not overcome
the comity's fire sufficiently to allow
the matter to be tested.
Captain A.dna G. Clarke, now a cap-
tain in the regular army, was in com-
mand of company H, and I could see
him standing erect in order to better
direct the fire of his men, who were
lying down. In a short time I saw him
erumple up and go down with a wound
from which I believe he has not fully
recovered to this day. Majors Metealf
and Whiteman were cicee up to the
river bank, their two battalions being
most hotly engageti.—From "up the
Railroad to Malolos," by Brig. -Gen.
Funston, in the August Seribner (fie -
tion number).

WATER -POWER IN NORWAY.
Nature has endowed Norway with im-
mense stores of power which were but
little utilized before the advent of hy-
dro -electric plants, but which are now
making el that country an important
.centre of various kinds of manufacture.
A tow estimate of the total available
water -power of Norwayels from 5,000,000
to 7,000,000 horse -power. The manufac-
ture of nitregen from the air will this
year employ from 170,000 to 180,000
horse -power, and in the course of a
few years 11 19 hoped that 300,000 horse-
power more will be utilized for this pur-
pose. Electric smelting of iron and steel
promises to become an important indus-
try in Norway. The country has the
peculiar advantage of possessing a great
number of lakeslying in deep valleys,
with contineted outlets whieh render
them easily convertible into reservoirs.

The flies that are now in your
kitchen and dining room were
probably feasting on some in-
describable nastiness less than an
hour ago, and as a single fly of-
ten carries many thousands of di-
sease germs attached to its hairy
body, it is the duty of every
housekeeper to assist in extermin-
ating this worst enemy of the hu-
man race. Wilson's rly Pads
