"It seems to me I am always coin- ing to see you," he added. "That," said the girl, . blush pg very alightly, "has at least a resetn 1pnge to the truth." "I have been here every afternoon for three months," said the man. "It was about that I wished too speak • to you," and again the girl blushed; this time the color was vivid and went ae soon as it came. "I wanted to show you this ring. Igp't it pretty?" She held out her left Hand. On its third finger' a ruby surrounded by diamonds gtltetened. "It is almost," said the young man, bravely, "pretty enough for your hand." He was very pale,and the lines about his mouth were not good to see. His voice was husky. "1 suppose you are to be ted?" he continued. "I suppose so. I think so. I am not sure," replied the girl, but her smile was a happy one. "You ought to marry the best the world," said the wean. "I am going to," replied the girl. This time she did not smile or even blush. "Well," said the 'man, drearily, "I think I had better go now. You have been very kind. I hope you will be happy." "Don't go yet," said the girl. "I have more to tell you. Don't you want to know the man?" "No," said the youth, "I do not." " t hope we shall always be friends," she ventured, after a pause. "I hope .I shall never see you again," be replied, earnestly. "Why can't we be friends?'• pleaded the girl. "Yon know that I love you," returned the man. 'iI dont want to be a friend to you. You know I love you?" The girl was silent. "You know I love you?" he persisted. "Yes," said the girl, finally. 'I knew that you Loved me." "And that is why you sent for me to- day? "Yes," she said, gravely, "that is why I sent for yon." Then she laughed sud- denly. It was a gay, careless laugh. "Do you remember„ Teddy, when I first met you?' she asked irrelevantly. "You were suoh a nice boy in those days." "Gbodby," said the toward the door, " You must not go yet," said the girl. "It would have been better if I had never comae," replied the man. "You said then that you would never ask a girl with money to marry yon," went on the girl unmindful of bis in- terruption. "You also said a great many other very foolish things."

Celery Compound the Acknowledged King of Medicines. The Kind the People Need in Order to Restore and Preserve Health. The aoknoyyledged king of medicines in the world today is Paine's Celery Com- pound. Its marvellous puree during the month of January made up a record far surpass- ing the work of any previous month in past years. Hundreds of letters were sent by saved men and women who were truly plucked from thegrave and saved to anx- ious relatives and friends. In thankful, burning words the young and old admitted Mutt without Paine's Celery Compound their oases would have been quite hopeless. Surely, poor sufferer, this is sufficient proof that Paine's Celery Compound is able to meet your case, even though it be serious and desperate—able to give you the new life you so much desire.

The enorrirous ctitlereuch which the trans•fdiberiau railway is certain to make in the freight acid passenger carrying trade of tile wo.1,1 may be seen from the anncunounteut that first class passage will be sold from Moscow to Vladivostook for $hR, second class for j22, says the San Francisco Chronicle. Tho freight reties are to be in proportion. The time required for the journey extending prac- tically froin the Baltic, Sea to the Pacific Ocean—will be nine days and eleven halirs for express trains, and twelve days and fifteen hours for hauls of mer• ohandteo. At the present time. the trip between the two coasts—say from London via Snoz to Yokahaina—consumes thirty- etght days. Something like a week may be saved from -this ttecount by following the American or Canadian routes. From Bremerhaven to Shanghai consumes forty-seven days, and from Marseilles to Yokohama via the Messageries Maritimes line forty days. Taking the minimum time, thirty-one days, and while it is being covered by ship and oar over Brit- ish routes a Russian freight train can leave Moscow and run to Vladivoetook and back again and have five days lee- way. Regarding expenses, the scale is as, much in favor of the Russians as the time pard. For example, n Prat -class passage to Shanghai from Lr •. t,•ivep` coats $390, emend class $24. e,,:,.ing 0.10 as the Russian steamship fare Cram, Vladivostook to Shanghai, and the Game sum to oover the connection between Bremerhaven' and Moscow, the figures in each instance being liberal, and the Russians can out the German -English first -plass rate by the sem of $814. The freight rate will be one-fourth the pres- ent sea rate, Of course, there oan be no competition •with Russia under this bead. and English trade with the Orient will either have to make use of the Rus- sian transportation facilities qr retire from the .field. iA The late W. A. Conchman, of Clark oounty, Kentucky, was the perpetrator of an extraodinary practical joke. Returning from a bunting'trip one evening, he was attracted to a country church where a re- vival was in progress. After watching the service for a while he climbed up on the roof to get a better view through the hole where the stove -pipe was meant to go. In the excitement of the evening one of the con- gregation shouted out: "Gabriel, blew your horn, I'm ready to,ggo!" The temptation was too much for, Cdonchman, and putting his born to bis lips he blew a blast through the flue -hole, and stampeded the congrega- tion to a man. The grand jury discussed the propriety of indicting the sacrilegious hunter, but no proceedings were taken against him. man. "Sometimes one is blind as Well op fool- ! Lely" retorted the girl. "Yon Mean --1?" aald the man. r "Just that," replied the girl. The man said nothing and there was 1 silence in the room for the space of a I mibate, 'Then the girl saki softly:— "Blindness oan be cured sometimes." The man was still silent. He was white to the hair. His lips were mem- 'pressed. I hoped you would like this ring," continued the girl; her 'voice had begun to tremble. She oaantt nearer to him. "It means so muoh to me, you see," she went on. "Good by," said the man suddenly` "You will not ask the name of the man I love?" persisted the girl. "I must go," said .the man. "I want to ask you one more favor before you go.." "You oan always call on me for any - •thing," replied the man. The girl came closer to him. "I want you to stop at ) lank's and tell them you will take this ring which I selected this morning," she said tremu- lously. "You mean—?" cried the man joyously. "That the blind must be taught to see," laughed the girl, backing away from him. , He followed closely and took her in his arms. Then just when the silence was becoming unbearable she looked up, There was a conspicuous moisture about her eyes and her lips still trembled. "flow are your eyes now, Teddy John- stone ?" she said. When Baby was sick, we gave her Castoria. When she was a Child, she cried for Castoria. When she became Miss, che clung to Castoria. When she had Children, she gave them Caetoria.

She tilolight she might bring him to the scratch but she did not want to make it altogether too plain. She thought that under a kind of allegory she might "fetch' hits. So the next time he came be found her in the garden rtolining in the hammock. An open book was lying beside her, her hand carelessly resting upon it: the other band was gracefully posed pressing baok her hair: her eyes were fixed dreamily on the cloudless blue, seen through the interlaoed foliage of the trees. He approached. Ap- parently he heard her not. He looked at the picture a moment while she was steeped in reverie. He spoke. She gave a little start, and gently rubbed her eyes. "Is it you, 'George, is 1t?" she pried softly. "I was dreaming." "Dreaming! And what were you dreaming of!" "It was silly—ridionloua. I won't tell you." "Do tell the." "No—it was so silly.", "Do tell me what it was." "Well, you won't laugh at me," she said coyly. "No, indeed I won't." "I dreamed that I was married, and I was living in a pretty little cottage all covered with honeysuckle and woodbine and roses, and my husband—" "What was he like?" "He was a very nice -looking man. He bad beautiful dark hair and eyes and he was tall." George made no remark. George was blonde and short. "But you know, George," she said, after a pause had grown a little awk- ward, "dreams always go by contraries." George saw the point. Chickens in Boston. In the limits of Boston it is often an offense, punishable with a $50 fine, to 'keep or kill a chicken or fowl of any kind. The same statute also forbids the sale of live fowl on the streets or in the markets. The slaughter of the feathered tribe must all be conducted in one build- ing that the authorities have designated for that purpose. To keep folks from raising chickens -on their own premises seems a bit tyrannical, but the regula- tion was made in the public interest, and done for sanitary reasons. The business of keeping fowls in the crowded residenoe.sections had developed grave abuses. Some of the dealers were in the habit of confining large numbers fe the basements of their dwellings; others cooped them in the narrow and dark passages between two houses. Slaughtered on the premIsss by the hun- dreds, there arose from such planes an in- tolerable stench, and an entire neighbor- hood would be polluted by the foul odors. This gave rise to such frequent complaints, that an iron-olad epegulatton was enacted that puts everbody on the same plane.

I was tenable to dress myself, except with assistance, and could only hobble about by using a cane. I had no appetite, and was assured, by the doctors, that I could not live. The pains, at times, were so awful, that I could procure relief only by means of hypodermic Injec- tions of morphine. I had my limbs bandaged in clay, in sulphur, in poultices; but these gave only temporary relief. After trying everything, and suffering the most awful tortures, I began to take Ayer's Sarsaparilla. Inside of two months, I was able to walk without a cane. In three months, my limbs began to strengthen, and in the course of a year, I was cured.

"Habit" is hard to overoome. If you take off the first letter 1t does not change "o.. bit." If you take another you still have a "bit" left. If you take off another the whole of "It" remains. If you take off another 1t is not "1" totally used up. All of which goes to allow that. if you wish to be rid of a "habit" you Int su throw 1t off altogether. Queer Punishments.

This was muoh more severe than the mere telling would imply, and the young onlprits soon learned to dread it. Another punishment for minor offences was to tie the naughty child's pinafore over its head and rapping the victim with a staff busk snatched out from the bosom of her dress, evidently carried there for that purpose.
