\Vhrn a look ahead show* you nothing hut the thickest sort of gloom,
When you're worried to the centre of tout »«»ul,

When your plans have all miscarried and proved castles in the air
And you've nothing in your |>ocket* but a hole,
Then’s the time to reason thuawiae: “What a the use to make a row?
Who can tell a oit of diff'rence in a hundred years from now?"
When the pathway stretching *n Iwiae tow’rd life’s slowly setting sun
Shows the lions with their chains all hid from view,
When it seems there's “nothing doing" In the providential line
Ami when everything (except the *kyl looks blue, j
Then is not the time to falter or turn backward from the plow;
Will it make a hit of diif'rence iv a hundred years from now?
* Yet there's one thing will make diff'renro ten long decades iu:\hcr on
* It's the way you bear your troubles <1h7 by day.
If you keep your top lip stiffened ind a finite upon your face
As you stride toward the lions *.n the Way,
Then the worried world will carrj fewer wrinkles on its brow,
Aid 'twill really make some diff’/ence in a hundred year* from now.

DMUND 1)01. RY went
home from the city that
evening by an earlier train
than usual, ami Mrs. Dolby
was out. "Do you know
Mrs. Dolby is. MarthaV’ lie
railed to the girl in the kitchen.
“The mistress went out, air. about
ten minutea ago, and said she'd he
hack in half an hour."
Kdmund returned to the sitting room,
•nd lay hark in the low armchair liy
the tire in gloomy meditation. He hail
been uneasy in his tuliid all day, for
the night before he and Lett}' had
quarreled, nnd It was because this bad
Jeen fretting him nnd he was wistful
it making bis peace with her that be
Sad contrived to get home so much
Jarller than usual. And now she was
M.
The fact that this chanced to lie Ills
birthday gave a keener edge to his stif-
’erings, and made her absence, when
le came yearning for reconciliation, so
Ituch the more inexcusable. He sat,
Hnched In the armchair, brooding un-
!il he began to see a sinister slgniti-
tance In her not being there to wel-
•ome him; it became as clear to him
igain as if it had been last night that
le had been justified in the complaints
le had made, and that her indignation
lad been assumed simply to blind him.
The facts in connection with that
inarrel were, chiefly, these: Edmund's
>ne particular friend In Watford was
Alfred Hilbert and Hetty's one partic-
llar was Nelly Hilbert, his wife. Once
l week the Dolbys went round the cor.
ler and spent an evening with the Hll-
*ert«. and once a week the Hilberts
lame round the corner and spent an
fvening with the Dolbys. Moreover,
(hey frequently dropped in oil each
Itber Informally; the wives occasion-
ally shopped together, the husbands
took Sunday strolls together, and their
friendliness would have been abso
lutely Ideal but for one jurrlng circum-
stance.
There had been a time when Alfred
Hilbert was desperately In love with
Letty. Twice she bad rejected him.
when Edmund made her acquaintance
and they fell in love with each other
at sight.
Alfred resigned himself to the inevit-
able so completely that, a few months
later, being a breezy young man whose
heart was too well seasoned to break
easily, he transferred his affections to
Nelly, who was already Hetty's dearest
friend and had remained so ever since.
Edmund knew all about this from
the beginning. Alfred treated it as a
Jest. After they were all married he
would,speak of bis past infatuation
openly at their weekly meetings, and
laugh nbout it, never seeming to real-
ize that nobody enjoyed the joke but
bimself. a
He was that sort of a man. Instead
of growing Inured to Ills facetious de-
ccriptions of his extluet passion, Ed-
mund more nnd more resented them,
even rebuking Hetty now and then, as
If she were to blame for having been
passively responsible for Alfred's fas
clnatlon.
Last night, after the Hilberts were
gone, he hnd rebuked her with unrea-
sonable Irritation, for he was of a nat-
urally jealous temperament, nnd hnd
gradually persuaded himself that Al-
fred was much too attentive to his
wife, and that Letty’s manner toward
him was unnecessarily gracious. He
told her so in no measured terms, mag-
nifying bis grievances and saying more
than he meant, aB an angry man will.
Letty was disposed at the outset to
answer him laughingly, but her flip-
pancy exasperated him. Finally, he so
lost control of herself that his prepoR
terous hints and Innuendoes stung und
Insulted her. Her cold dignity was un-
abated by breakfast time this morning,
and, as he could not humble himself
and surrender, he had gone off to the
city sullenly, without kissing her.
Away from her he remembered ail
her sweetness and wr,s nshnmed that
his Jealously could so outrageously be-
fool him. He yenrned to be with her—
thinking of tender things he would sav
to her; he would even ask her to for-
give him; and only to Imagine how she
.would lean her head upon his breast
•nd cry brought tears to bis eyes.
He had pictured it all vividly; he had
hastened home to fulflll his happy Im
aginings—nnd she was out.
If she had Bent me n telegram ask-
ing me to come home It would have
been nothing astonishing,” he mut-
tured, bitterly, "but, Instead of that,
she isn't even waiting for me when I
do come-”
There was a piece of crumpled paper
lying in the fender. He hnd noticed It
Idly, directly he sat down, and now,
•Uildcuiy, seeing (here was writing on
It, he picked it up, straightened it ot
and rend it:
"Have got the tickets. Be at my
ofliee not Inter than 7. nnd we will go.
Till death nnd after. Alfred.’’
He sat stunned, rereading it mechan-
ically, as if it meant nothing to him.
Gradually the words seemed to burn
Into his brain. Here, then, was full
and dreadful ronflrmntion of his worst
suspicions. He hnd not been mistaken
last night in thinking there was some
secret understanding between them.
Here was their secret flushed bcwil-
derlngly before him.
He started to his feet and snatched
his watch from his pocket. A quarter
past n. There was a bare possibility
that he might even yet be in time to in-
tercept them, and be must make the
most of that.
As he passed the Hilberts' door a
vaguely forlorn hope tempted him
aside, nnd he knocked till the servant
opened jt.
"Is Mr. Hilbert here?" he demanded.
“No. sir.”
"Where is Mrs. Hilbert?”
“In the drawing room, sir.”
“I want to speak to her. Don't
trouble. 1 will go to her.” He stepped
Inside and closed the door, and Nelly
was seared by the pallor and the tense
expression of his face.
"Why—! What's wrong, Edmund?”
Rhe ejaculated.
He told her. panting and stammering
incoherently.
“Nonsense!” she interrupted. “There
must he some mistake”—
“There is no mistake!" he cried. "I
have his letter to her.”
"Where is it?”
“He gays"—he was fumbling hastily
in his pockets—"he says he has booked
their passage and she is to meet him
at bis office by 7. . . . Oh, I can't
find it—must have left it nt home! But
it doesn’t matter—I've told you what it
says. What am I to do?"
"Oh, dear!” faltered Nelly. “I knew
—I—I told Alfred last night that he
was far too attentive to Letty—but oh!
I never dreamt”-
“The rufflnn!” he raged, wildly. "If
I can only lay bands on him-! But
I can't stop. I want to entoh the next
train to Euston. It's a fast train nnd
may get me to his ofliee just in time."
"Oh, please wait—let me come with
you!”
They reached the station not a mo-
ment too soon. The train stopped no-
where until it arrived at Euston. As
it drew up at the platform Edmund
sprang out and assisted Nelly to
alight.
"Here! What's up? Where are you
two off to?”
They started round and were face to
face with Alfred Hilbert.
"Where js my wife?” gasped Ed-
mund, seizing his arm.
"Don’t tnlk like a fool! Tell me
what's happened.”
"You know well enough”--
"I tell you I don't; I want to know!
And I want to know, too. what are you
two tearing off together like this for?”
Either he was a hardened and ac-
complished hypocrite or he really did
find It hard to realize exactly what he
was charged with, nnd eventually he
was ss battled ns themselves.
"All I can say Is,” he reiterated, “that
note was not from me."
"But it's in your writing," Edmund
insisted.
‘t an t help that. I've never written
to Letty in my life-—not since you've
known her. Ned, anyhow. Where’s
the letter?”
"I thought I had It with me”—Ed-
mund began to search through his
pockets again—"I must have left It.
No, here it Is."
He pulled It out, and the other two
read it over his shoulder.
Yes. that's mine, right enough,” Al-
fred adnYltted. Then, all of n sudden
he broke into a roar of laughter. "It
is mine-”
“It's no laughing matter"-
“Why, mustn't a man write to his
own wife, then? It's the note I sent to
Nell, here, the day before yesterday.”
"It can't be! How can it be?” pro-
tested Edmund. “I found it ut my
bouse—In the fireplace.”
"All right! You ask Nelly."
Nelly glanced at It again eagerly.
"So it is!" she cried, laughing hyster-
ically. "We were going to the theatre,
and weren't sure whether we could get
seats, and Alfred was to try and bojk
them on his way to the city and let we
know, and that’s his note.”
"And you both thought I"_
"Well, but,” Edmund interrupted, re-
lieved nnd mortified nt the turn affairs
had taken, "bow is it that it was in mv
house?"
to fetch her some tabloids, and this Is
the paper I wrapped them In—It hap 1
pened to he in my pocket. I gave Letty ;
the tabloids and threw the paper in the j
fender. If I had thought of it while
you were telling me—aud yet how
could I ?”
“And you bolted in pursuit of Hetty
and me!” chuckled Alfred. “I called
at the paper shop on my way home,
and I reckon you two went by whilst
I was inside. When 1 reached home I
found the girl half off her head. All
she knew wus that Ned, here, had been
shouting, nnd you hail run away with
him, and she hnd hear.l one of you say
you must catch the next train to Eus-
ton. I didn't know what to make of [
it, so I came after you, and just man-
aged to scramble into the last carriage
as the train started. • • • I say,
talk shout running away with another
fellow's wife, though" — he. guffawed
again—“I think it's me thai ought to
do the shooting!”
But Edmund was in no mood to make
light of his humiliation, and by de-
grees the others sympathetically sub-
dued them elves to his humor.
Back again at Watford, they shook
hands and parted, and when Edmpnd
returned home there was Letty waiting
for him.
She met him in the hall, and, before
he could decide how to greet her she
clasped her arms rouud his neck. A
tender mist shone in her eyes, and
everything waseoming aboutas ideally
as he hnd pictured it to himself in his
remorseful dreams during the day.
“I did so want you to come home,
dear!" she whispered.
“I—I was delayed,” he murmured,
awkwardly.
"Martha says you came in and rar.
out again almost Immediately.”
"Y’es. * * * Y'ou were not here.”
"I had gone out to get this for you,
Ned.” “This” was u gold pencil with
his initials engraved on it. She drew
it from her pocket and offered it to
him, shyly. "It was not ready last
night. " * * And I was so—so un-
kind this morning! I never even
wished you”- .
Ho took most of the wishes in kisses.
"And I was afraid, when you enine
home und went out again without see-
ing me, that you”—her voice faltered
penitently—"that you were still angry
with me.”
“No; it wasn't that, sweetheart. 1
wasn't that at all.”
"I was so afraid that, perhaps"-
“No, it was nothing hut a • •
But,, I say, Letty, I'm hungry!” he
said, scheming for time to think how
to make the least of it all. “Let us sit
down, nnd I’ll tell you the whole story
over dinner.”—The Sketch.

Though Sir Henry M. Stanley was a
man of Iron frame and constitution, he
I died nt the early age of sixty-three.
Nature destined him for a long life,

of prodigious toil, hardship and anxie-

man. His hair was snow white ten
years ago. The indomituble qualities
of mind and spirit that made him the

Says the Chautnuquan: Sixteen
States now have officers for forest
work, twelve of them being Forestry
Commissioners. The Federal Govern-
ment has established fifty-three reser-
vations, containing sixty-two million
acres of public forests, protected by
live hundred public employes. This is
a magnificent beginning, but l’rof.
Feruew says that we need six hun-
dred million acres to maintain our an-
nual consumption of three hundred
and fifty cubic feet per capita. We
may, however, learn to thrive with
less, as England uses only fifteen feet
per capita.
Growing Appetite For Oulnine.
Quinine has become one of our sta-
ple forms of food. It is much more
widely and ardently eaten than garlic,
aud It may soon approach the popu
larity of pie. According to a report re-
cently Issued, considerably more than
20,000 pounds of quinine were manu-
factured In India iu 1902, the greater
part in Madras, while Java manufac-
tured nearly 44,000 pounds. In nddl
tlon to this, over 18,000,000 pounds of
cinchona bark were produced chiefly iu
Java aud India, and this was reckoned
to be equivalent to another 860,000
pounds of quinine, so that the total
product of the food for the year was
nearly 1,000,000 pounds. There are
twenty manufactories of quinine in
existence, of which five are iu France,
three iu England, two each in Ger
many and Italy, one in Holland, four
In America, two in Indlfi, and one in
Java. The two principal markets for
quinine are Amsterdam and Loudon,
and the latter has greatly diminished
in Importance since the cultivation of
cinchona in Java has assumed such
large proportions. In fact, nearly
three times as much bark was sold at
Amsterdam in 1902, so that, although
we probably use more quinine than
any other uatiou, the Dutch are taking
the* trade nwiry from all the rest of
us. India has already taken the hint
and is stimulating her growth of cin-
chona.—Boston Transcript.
Locomotives Approved.
It Is reported that a German firm
lias been awarded a contract from Ja-
pan for locomotives only after very
keen competition with several English
firms. Germany, according to a Con-
sular report Just issued by the State
Department from United States Con-
sul Warner, stationed at Lelpslg, is at
present busy upon orders from Italy,
Uussin and Japan. The Consul fur-
ther says: "It has not been so long ago
that a firm of Leeds, England, was giv-
en an order for locomotives by the
Sudanese Kallroad simply because the
firm was prepared to till the order
within five or six months, while an
American firm could not even promise
to do so in twice that length of time.
The Sudanese Kallroad is at present
nslng American locomotives, and with
such success that it was reluctant to
go elsewhere for new ones.” An
American locomotive company liuve
shipped about 100 locomotives to Ja-
pan. The Yankee locomotives In use
on the Sudanese Railway were built
nt Philadelphia and have been found
not only cheaper in their initial cost
than British engines also employed on
the African roads, hut less expensive
in operation, as they consumed less
coni and oil than the Scotch locomo-
tives.—Journal of Commerce.
A Curious Kxrhunge.
A peculiar busluess trnnsn tion was
recorded nt Lebanon, Pa., when Grocer
Johu Light transferred to Baker Will-
iam A. Garrett a fifteen-acre farm in
Berks County for a consideration of
7000 loaves of bread, the bread to be
delievered In quantities such as might
be needed to supply «lie daily demand
of patrons at Grocer Lights store.—

All soldiers aud sailors under our
flag who don't know how to swim
ought to be trained, instructed and dis-
ciplined until they are masters of
themselves in the water In tael, the
ability to save his own life, if by any
acrid- t he dies go overboard, might
well be required from every volunteer
who seeks to enter either .up military
or the na.nl departmert of the service.
It is amazing that so many old salts on
mercantile vessels never learned
take care of • themselves amid the
waves. Swimming is not a mysteri-
ous or a difficult art, and parents
ought to make their children learn it.
A stone monument, weighing fifty
tons, is beiug raised in the Pchor
fleide, Germany, on the spot where
the Emperor stood when he killed his
1000th stag. The stone bears the in-
scription: "Our most illustrious mar
grave and lord. Emperor IV i Ilia ill II,
stood here on September 20, Anno
Domini, 1898, when slaying his lOOOtli
stag of twenty tines.” The Emperor
is so versatile that if monuments were
erected to commemorate his achieve
ments in other lines Germany would
be studded with them. The place
where be wrote bis lOOOtli poem and
where be painted his 1000th picture
should be marked.
A tabic has been prepared nnd issued
by the Department of Commerce and
Labor, indicating that, despite the
great size of the appropriations, this
country is per capita more cheaply
maintained than any other in the
world, with the exception of China and
India, nnd possibly Russia. It costs,
according to this, just $7.97 a year for
each man, woman and child in the
United States to run the government
as against $9.30 for Canada, $9.45 for
the German Empire, *9.54 for Sweden,
$10.09 for Spain, $11.45 for Portugal,
$11.40 for the Netherlands, $12.40 for
Cuba, $12.08 for Argentina, $14.27 for
Austria-Hungary, $17.30 for Paraguay,
$17.40 for Belgium, $17.84 for France,
$21.39 for the United Kingdom, $37.09
for Australia and *38.38 for New Zea-
land. Russia's per capita expenditure
approximately the same as that of
the United States.
Deaths from bites from serpents are
tumerous in Asia and Africa. Dr. S.
Weir Mitchell, of Philadelphia, for
several years carried on researches
of no small importance with regard to
the venom of posionous snakes, and
announced finally that he had dis-
covered no effective antidote. At the
annual meeting of the Association of
American Physicians, ii. Washington,
Dr. Mitchell is said to have Informed
his medical associates that lie had re-
ceived a letter from Dr. Noguchi, of
Japan, who lias been working nt the
Serum Institution iu Copenhagen, set-
ting forth the discovery of a serum
which will cure the sufferer from the
bite of a rattlesnake. Will this nnti-
dote prove efficacious also against the
venom of the cobra and other deadly
serpents? If so, it will be of remark-
able benefit to mankind, especially
j among the natives of India.

The young woman who prides her-
self on saying ibe .happy word at the
happy njomeut was tested the other
day. She wore a pearl-gray gown to
a club reception, and chanced to be
talking art off in a corner with a viva-
cious lady who was sipping chocolate.
Suddenly another woman broke into
the con versa tion.
“My dear,” she said to the vivacious
lady, "it seems that Mrs. Hemingway
Is an old sweetheart of your husband.
.She has been telling us what charming
letters he used to write her, and she
wants so much to meet you. Oh, here
she is now! Do let me present-”
The vivacious lady sprang to her
feet. She would not have showed a
touch of embarrassment for worlds,
nnd in her effort to appear delighted
she poured her chocolate,. with its
whipped cream, ail down the front of
the maiden iu gray.
“Don’t mention it!" exclaimed the
tactful girl, as she mopped the brown
ocean with a lace handkerchief. “I’m
sure its no wonder you were awkward,
the circumstances were so embarrass-
ing! Besides it isn't half so bad for
me as it is for you. I know I should
want to go through the floor if I had
done such a thing. No, really, don’t
make excuses! You mustn’t worry
nbout it at all. Listen! I have n lovely
new gown coming home to-night. If it
weren’t for that I couldn’t have be-
haved so well about this.”
About that time a look on the viva
cions Indy’s face brought the sweet
prattler to herself with a shock, and
she started for home, devoutly wishing
that she had been born mute.
There was another cheerful little
spill at a recent church dinner. The
president of the missionary society,
attired as a waitress and cai^ying
platter of butter-balls, airily poised on
one hand, approached the table she
was serving. No one will ever know
just how it happened, but the harmless
lady in black silk who was sitting at
tiie table suddenly felt a soft shower
of something on her shoulders, and
then realized that the platter it-
self had followed the butter-balls and
landed between her and the back of her
chair. The amateur waitress, with an
exclamation of dismay, extracted the
platter nnd began to ladle out the
misshapen globes of butter, while the
buttered lady tried to think of some
thing kind and comforting to say;
but to her amazement th? waitress, in-
stead of expressing anxiety about the
dress, only exclaimed, “Isn’t that too
exasperating? I don't believe I can
use those butter-balls at all 1**

tat* a Dainty Food.
The cat is becoming a favorite arti-
cle of food. Northern Italy has taken
up the cat as a great dainty, says the
Boston Transcript In Azcglio, in
Venice, in Verona, butchers sell cats
and call them rabbits. For the State
forbids the eating of cats, but the poor
people, who have become the chief
buyers of the inferior kinds of cats
are not deceived by their cheap tab
bits.
The proper way to cook a cat is to
toast him iu an oven until brown,
with onions, garlic, parsley, bay leaf,
and some herbs peculiar to Italy.
When boiled they are not so satis-
factory. Just before Christmas it is
common for a group of young men
In northern Italy to kill some cats,
skin them, and soak them in water for
two or three days. They are then
cooked with great care on Christmas
Day and served up hot about 1.30
p. m„ after mass.
Italy has begun to cultivate the cat
for home consumption, ns English peo-
ple raise rabbits. It is to be done on
the qniet, however, for in spite of the
profit In the business and the demand
for the delicacy, the law has to be
looked out for, and the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Cats is vigi-
lant. Offenses against the law are
visited with imprisonment. Cats are
raised for the market, none the less.

more gas than during the other six
nights. Notice it and you will observe
that gas on Saturday night is hardly
as good as on other nights. This is
because the companies are taxed to
their utmost. The force is not as great
in individual burners on that night.
"Our bad nights are holidays and
Sundays, when shops, manufactories,
saloons and other patrons are closed
down.”
Aged Pedestrian Seeks Rivals.
A place in the history of pedestrian-
ism will b * made for the recent jog
of the veteran walker, Dr. Deigbton
over the classics 1 road between the
two extremes of the British Kingdom,
Laud’s End and John o' Groats. At
the age of sixty-one he has covered the
distance of over 1000 miles In twenty-
four days and four hours, an average
speed of nearly two miles au hour, or
forty-two miles a day. Dr. Deigbton
intends to visit the United States and
challenge any man of his years to walk
across the continent from the Atlantic
to the Pacific.
New Ice.Making Machine.
A new ice-malting machine con-
structed entirely of metal, consisting
of two parts, very simple and com-
pact, has been introduced in Frauce.
One part, hermetically closed, contains
the mechanism, and the other is the
ice producer. The smallest size, which
is a foot by a foot and a half, is run
by hand, or one-eighth horse power
motor, and makes 4.4 pounds of ice
au hour. Oue forty by sixty inches,
with four horse power, makes 220
pounds an hour. The principal fea-
ture of the machine is that the ice is
produced without tiie aid of any in-
gredients or preparations of any kind.
Whatever requisite is needed for its
operation is supplied at the time of its
manufacture. Once the machine is de-
livered it produces ice as long as the
metal work used in its construction
holds out, and this is of such a char-
acter as to last many years.
Meteorological Tipping Bucket.
A tipping bucket attachment lias
been added to the rain gauge of tile
Weather Bureau on top of the Custom
House at St. Louis. It accurately tells
the amount of precipitation. The rain
drained into a double bucket, so
poised that it tips on receiving a cer-
tain amount of water. Every move-
ment of this kind is registered by an
electrical connection.
Foot) nnd Feeding.
Sir Henry Thompson, in his excel-
ut work on "Food anil Feeding," has
put one aspect of the case ns well as
it can he put. "Many a man. ' he
writes, "might indeed safely pursue a
sedentary career, taking only r. small
amount of exercise, and yet maintain
an excellent standard of health, if only
he were careful that the 'intake' in
the form of diet correspond with the
expenditure which his occupations,
mental and physical, demand. Let
hint by all means enjoy his nnuttal
pastime aud profit by it, to rest his
mind and augment his natural forces,
but not for the mere purpose of neu-
tralizing the evil effects of habitual
dletic wrong doing."—Century Magi),
