Why De Women Suffer
When They Could Be Well?
It is so easy to be well and strong and
able to enjoy life, that it is surprising.
how many women drag themselves
through the day suffering tortures from
lame back due, to kidney
trouble. Mrs, Wilcox
found the way to cure
herself and gladly writes
about it so that others
may be induced to use
the same remedy.

ra Cling. I hadnot seriously consl4
ered it »then,.but now -why, possibly
it was true. I read the lines almost at
a glance, scarcely comprehending at
first,, and then', suddenly realized'' the
base villainy revealed:
"have. the motley and papers, but
•the girl, got away. Will wait for you
at Lone Treo tonight. Don't fail, for
the whole country will be after me
as soon as the news gets out about
Elmhurst, FA,GIN."
So that was the reason for this raid
—Grant's personal affair. He, had re-
turned to Elmhurst, leaving his men
to trudge on into Philadelphia under,
their Hessian officers so that he might
communicate with Fagin. What a pity
it .was I had failed to kill the fellow,
instead of leaving him unconscious.
The papers! Perhaps they were in
the coat also. Surely Grant had 110
time to change or destroy them, as he
must have ridden directly to Elmhurst.
I searched the pockets' of the garment
hastily, finding a note or two, his
orders to escort Delavan, and a small'
'packet tied securely by a cord. I felt
'no hesitancy in opening this, and as-'
certaining its contents. The lines I
tread hastily seemed to blur before my
'oyes; I could barely comprehend their
purport. Little by little IrasPed the;

Without question this packet was the

scarcely one was dated? And what
caused them to be of 'value :to Cap-'.

The answer came la flash of suspi-

!eh plot, well conceived, and Grant
was fully capable of carrying it oplt
to the end. I could realize what the
possession of these papers meant to
him—military advancement, .a d}stri•
bution of the Mortimer estate in which
he would doubtless share, and a fresh
hold on eliaire whereby he could ter
rift' the girl into accepting, them.
I stood there in uncertainty, turning
these papers over and over in my
hands, striving to determine my duty,

father returned, he would doubtless
compel her to accompany him back to
Philadelphia. The best service I could
render was to destroy these notes, and
then seek out Eric Mortimer, in Lee's'
camp, and tell him the whole story.
All that anyone could do now was to
warn the Mortimers against Grant, to
let them know his treachery, and this
could be best accomplished through
Eric. differ in Although different eL arms es,
striving against each other in the
field, there must still exist some means
of communication between father: and
son, or, if not, then between brother
and sister.

found the word "Elmhurst" It was
easy to see how the discoveryof such
communications would tempt an un-
scrupulous scoundrel like Grant to use
them to injure another, and win his
own end, but why had that young Eric
failed to destroy them as soon as re-
ceived?
When the last paper had been re-
duced to ashes, I stamped out theem-
bers of fire under my hoot ?reel, and,
with lighter heart, rode down the hill

often a desire for the best place that

"•I am meek and lowly in heart" (Matt

like, for He mode Himself of no repu-
tation and took upon flim the form of
a servant' (Phil. 11, 7, 8). See also verse'
11 of our lesson.

up in this way? This may seem all
right' for those who know no better
way. But when'ta church work, sup-
posed to be the Lord's work, people
act as if money could be obtained only
by giving a present equivalent in the
form of a lecture or an entertainment
or something to eat, does It not all
seem contrary to our Lord's admoni•
tion to this bost? My own intense con-
viction is that giving or living only for
a present equivalent is all wrong, and

In connection with the resurrection of
the just.
It does not appear from the Scrip-
tures that believers are rewarded at
death, though it is a common saying
that he or she bas gone to his or her
reword. The truth concerning the dead
in Christ le that they test from their
labors and their works do follow them,
but rewards are promised only at His
coming again (Rev. xiv, 13; xxli, 12;
1 Pet. v, 4). Here is a plain reference
to verse 14 of our lesson to the differ-
ence between the resurrection of the
just and the unjust. That there shall
be both Is written in Acts xxlv, 15, but
that there shall be n tenannd years
between them Is just as plainly writ-
ten
ritten in Rev. xs, 5, 0. The hour of John
v, 38, does not conflict with this, for
the hour of John v, 25, has already
Lasted nearly 1,900 years, and that of
verses 28, 20, may easily cover the two
gi
1'eanl'I'aQl1011e at the beginning ening and end
of the thousand years.
His mention of the resurrection or
the jest seems to have lett one of 'the
guests to remark, "Blessed is he that
shall eat bread In tbe kingdom of
Gori'• (verse lee which he evidently
associated with the resurrection. This
,led our Lord to speak of the great
supper and of the way the invitathens
were treated' and of the excuses which
tneu will make rather than accept the
Invitation. He seems to reply to the
remark of the guest that men are more
interested in property and in earthly
enjoyments than in the things of the
kingdom. '
The things unseen and eternal aro so
unreal to most, people that things' seen
and temporal hold all their attention.
Contrast the way of the believers in
11 Cor. Iv, 17, 18. The redemption
which leads to the kingdom is describ-
ed as a great supper fully prepared,
and the invited ones have only to come
and enjoy R. It is probable that the
Invitations of this chief of the Phari-
sees, in wbose b''ouse they were, bad all
been accepted eagerly, but the invita-
tions of welch our Lord spoke were
treated far otherwise. The great sal
vation has been fully prepared by the
life'and death and resurrection of the
Lord Jesus. nothing can be added to
it; but, eh, the co;t of it all to the
Gather who gave His only Son and to
the Son who gave Himself! And all is
offered freely, for "the free gift or
God is eternal life in Christ Jesais our
Lord." "We are justified freely by
His grace through theredemption that
Is in. Christ Jesus" (Rom. vi, 23,;11. V.;
lii. 24). I•Iow often we hear Him say,

NEWSBOYS ON HORSEBACK.
Carriers Make Quick Time to the Sub-
urbs In Montevideo.
Most Ameeican newsboys think
themselves well off if they own a good
suit of clothes, bit in the Urugnayau
capital of Montevideo there are over
lifty newsboys who own horses and
peddle their papers en horseback.
Montevideo Itis 300,000 inhabitants,
but it spreads aver more territory than
au. American rity of tbe same popula-
tion; there are al'tnost no tenement
houses, and there ore several large
parks. .
fAke Amerieaus, the Uruguayans
want their evening 'paper as 8o0n as
possible :after it coupes from the press..
The horseback newsboys supply this
dnmaud with astonishing rapidity. La
Raton, one of the leading eveningjour-
uals, is issued at 6 o'clock. About
twenty minutes, before that hour the
newsboys, mostly young men from
eighteen to twenty-five years of age,
gather ,in the street In front of the
newspaper office. Wben the papers are
brought out the clerk hands a bundle
to each, and away he starts at a full
gallop, All the business in the center
of the town 1s done by ordinary "foot
newsboys:" the horsemen Taco away
to their "beats" 10 the suburbs, shout-
ing with all their might, "La Ramon!
La Ragoni"
A customer who wishes to buy a pa-
per steps to the sidewalk and holds out
his num. The horse knows tbe signal
and pulls up so snort that leis a won- .
der the rider is not catapulted oyer bis
head.
So efficient is this system of egPes-
trian newsboys that a dweller in the
outskirts of Montevideo gets his even
ing paper almost as soon as the man
who, lives in the very heart of the city, .

ORIGIN OF THE TELEPHONE.

is reported to have explained in a lec-
ture how he came to invent 1L) tele-
phone as. follows:
"My father invented . a symbol by
which deaf mutes could converse, and
finally '1' invented an apparatus by
which the vibrations of speech could
be seen, and it turned out to be a tele-
phone. It occurred to me to make a
machine, that would enable one to hear
vibrations. 1 went to an aurlst, and
he advised me to take the human ear
as my model. He supplied me with.e
dead man's ear, and with this ear 1
experimented, and upon applying the
'ear
A found that the dead man's
SWVH3 ear wrote clown,tbe vibrations'.

"I arrived in the conclusion that 1f '1
could make iron vibrate on a dead

more delicate which would 1111.100
those vibrations to be heard: and un-,

cate plec•e of steel over on electric
magnet 1 could get a vibration, and,
thus thetelephonewas completed:
