At least we can see something before we get expelled.’ “Unfortunately the Chancellor caught my meaning. “ ‘If you try to see the peasants by yourselves,’ he said, 'you will not only be watched by the police, but some at least of the peasants to whom you talk will be our spies. We have tele phones to every village, and in two hours at latest we shall know not only whom you have seen, but also what you yourselves havt said.

Sham CucKoo. By E. HenniKer Grant. “And it’s only March 15th, and not nearly time for the cuckoo to come,” and Patricia Greystone looked tear fully across the wide expanse of park, where as yet the bare branches of the trees showed no sign of spring. “Is Aunt Nannie worse, Patricia?” asked Derrick Esmond, her cousin and fiance. “No, about the same; but you know Dr. C. gives no hope, and, oh, Derrick, if you had seen her face when site asked him if she would live till Y 16 spring. I knew what she meapt. Every year it has been the same—al ways the longing to see the spijng flowers and to hear the cuckoo. »he would just live at this window, and never seemed happy until she heardfit. Derrick, I begin to hate the cuckoo; it is dreadful to see the wistful look'on her face.” “Yes, I know, I’ve seen it; but Patricia? I never could quite un stand.” “Nor I; she would never say; I have an idea it is connected wither early love story; she was engaged Bd he died in the spring, when they Y erP to have been married. Oh, Derrick, can’t we do something to quiet ■ her mind?” “I can’t make a cuckoo come, PLt, dear,” and Derrick laughed. “Well, she will fret herself to deith,” and Patricia turned slowly away pom the window. Derrick stopped “I have an idea,” he cried Invent a cuckoo until the comes along.” “Derrick!” “I mean it; if the dear be pacified without a cuckoo she shall have must, J)e tne cuekoo.j[ Patricia looked at “Look here, Patsy, seriously; “joking apar 1 dreadful for Aunt Nannie to be embittered when a less deception ” • “But is it harmless, Derrici shall be deceiving her when dying, and we’ve never kept a s ecret from her except—well ” “Except our engagement, Patsy, which we thought we kept from her for about two hours ” “And she found it out, as she will find this out,” cried Patricia. ‘ Der rick, I can’t do it; besides, how qould it be managed?” “Easily enough; your trainin^as a singer should be quite sufficient t^ fill the woods with cuckoos,” laughed Derrick. “We will go down to I the copse, right away from the house,^and practise. Don't forget that the uotie of a cuckoo is not a true major third in terval but something just between I would do it myself but even Aunt Nannie, with her lifelong experience of cuckoos, has never heard a baritone bird.” J “Derrick, my boy, did you Lear that?” And Miss Nancy Austin tiirn- ed eagerly toward the window the 4ext day. Very frail and pathetic knd feeble was the reclining figure on the couch. This poor, failing old lady, with the sorrowful blue eyes had bieen lying quietly, mentally reviewing ( the past, while her nephew Derrick (sat watching her from behind his paper. Aunt Nancy was very patient, very grateful for all the love and devotion given her by the two beings she loved so well. Only once that morning had there been a sudden whisper from her, “Will the spring never come? Shall I never hear the cuckoo’s note again?” And now her face was transformed and any doubt for his deceit that Derrick had left were for the moment set at rest. Pat and he had done the right thing. ‘‘Dear Aunt Nannie, it is too early, isn’t it, to hear the cuckoo?” said he, deceitfully. “I am not mistaken,” declared Aunt Nannie. “Open the window—no, it will do me good. Ah, Derrick, the beautiful bird is here at last! Hark!” And softly in the distance came the flute-like notes of spring’s harbinger. Aunt Nannie listened in an ecstasy. “Where is Patricia?” she cried. “She loves the cuckoo almost as much as I do.” “Oh, Pat has gone to the village!.” said Derrick, unblushingly. He felt fully repaid for the morning rehearsal —Patricia made an excellent bird—.is he saw Aunt Nanie’s tired eyes c’O'C and watched her as she contentedly dropped off to sleep. And day by day the cuckoo brought content to Aunt Nannie. The two con spirators indeed were at times far from happy. They were guiltily conscious of deceit toward one who had been a mother to them and yet—could it be wrong to make Aunt Nannie's last hours happy? Every day Pat declared she would go down to the copse no more, and every day found her guiltily stealing thither, while Derrick did his best to parry awkward questions and to explain her absence. It was not al ways easy’. “Derrick,” Aunt Nannie said one morning, “Where can Patricia be? 1 cannot understand her; I do so want her to hear my bird. Do you know she has not once been with me when it sings. She used to be so sympa thetic! It almost seems as if she does not care.” Poor Patricia, an eighth of a mile off, making the woods resound with cuckoos! Derrick felt that it was very bad on her. Why could not the real abominable article come along? *•••*•• “Dr. C is quite wrong, thoug. he is a naturalist! He said the cucko# is never known to sing so early. I told him he was quite mistaken, for I had heard it myself. He said nature never made a mistake, and got quite excited over it until he saw that I was excited, too.” “Don’t, auntie,” said Patricia gently. “It isn’t worth It; you know we heard the cuckoo.” “We haven't heard It today, pet— for the first time. I hope it has not forgotten me,” wistfully. Patricia’s eyes filled with tears as she bent over her aunt. “It will come again, dear,” she said, while Derrick turned away. The sands of life were running low; Aunt Nan nie was dying. Day by day the sham cuckoo had dutifully sung its spring ode, though sometimes its note was tearful. But neither Patricia nor Derrick could leave Aunt Nannie. And yet—she wanted to hear the cuckoo once more. Would the read cuckoo never come? Suddenly, afar off, but quite clearly —there was the cuckoo at last! Aunt Nannie heard it and smiled. “Yes, there it is again,” she mur mured. “But it has a different note; it must be another, Patricia!” Patricia could not reply. Aunt Nan nie went on dreamily: “I always loved the cuckoo, Patricia. It is my wedding bird—my wedding which never came to pass. You and Derrick must hb married when the cuckoo sings—in memory of Aunt Nan nie.” And even while the cuckoo's note grew louder and more persistent, with a sigh and smile Aunt Nannie feU asleep.—New York Weekly. EXPLOSIONS OF DUST. Some Particles That Have Caused Great Disasters. Coal is the carbonized remains of tree mosses. Oddly enough, these mosses were the big forefathers of the moss we know as lycopodium, which in a powdered state is used to produce flash signals. This will help to give an idea of the intensely in flammable nature of coal dust. Some of the best coal in the world is cut from what is known as the Merthyr four foot seam, and this seam is one of the dustiest in the world. It is a terrible fact that over 1,600 men have lost theier lives on this seam in the last half century. Some years ago one of the inspec tors of mines conducted a number of experiments on the explosive power of coal dust. A disused shaft 150 feet deep was chosen for the purpose. Samples of dust from differ ent collieries were collected for the purpose. When two hundredweight of dust was emptied down a shaft and a charge of gunpowder fired the result was startling. Huge tongues of flame sixty feet in height shot up from the mouth of the shaft and enormous columns of smoke rose high in the air, forming a great black pall over the scene of the explosion. On the other hand, when high explosives were used no effect at all was produced on the dust. But colliers are not the only work- rs who have to dread dust dangers, ost every kind of dust which is iosed of ^afiammable material explode when u. ucKetT by a hakeff Maltsters are often heavy suf- erers in this way, for malt dust is shockingly explosive. One of the big gest disasters of this kind in recent years was the complete destruction of the premises of the Ipswich Malt ing company. These were six stories high, 700 feet long and 50 wide, and they were completely gutted by a malt explosion, w’hich set fire to them. There were 20,000 quarters of grain in the building at the time, and the damage was estimated at £50,000. Messrs. Whitbread suffered in a similar manner, a large building near the Barbican used for grinding malt having been badly damaged. In this case the cause of the fire is said to have been the spontaneous combus tion of the malt dust which was sus pended in the air. The careless housemaid who uses the contents of the sugar basin to light the fire knows that nothing burns more easily than powdered sugar. Proprietors of large sweetmeat fac tories have learned that there is dan ger from this source. In 1898 a serious sugar explosion took place in a Boston candy factory. It originated in a room where marsh mallows were being made. These sweets are coated with finely pulver ized sugar, and the atmosphere was hot and dry, and laden w r ith this fine ly divided dust. Two girls were badly hurt and the premises fired by the explosion. In the manufacture of linoleum no unprotected lights are allowed in the mixing department. This is on ac count of the great danger of explod ing the cork dust floating in the air. An additional danger in linoleum making is that the mixture of cement and cork dust has the unpleasant property of spontaneously igniting if left in a warm place. It is therefore, customary to mix the material, a sackful at a time, in order to reduce the risk of an explosion.—Pearson’s Weekly. PEARLS OF THOUGHT. Opportunity is the measure of ob ligation.

Recent news from Heligoland, ac cording to the London Standard, speaks of further encroachments by the sea on Heligoland, in the North Sea. Since the island was ceded to Germany, in 1890, in exchange for Zanzibar, it has lost a considerable area, not alone through the collapse cf the sandy cliffs which surround its shores, but also through a definite sinking on the south side. Engineers have been at work since the ces sion in a continuous endeavor to safe guard the island from demolition, and considerable work has been perform ed in filling crevices in the rocks, while breakwaters have been built to break the force of the sea. It has been found, however, that the very sea floor on which these are con structed is without stability, and it is believed that the work can only serve to delay the encroachment of the sea on the friable cliffs. It has now a circumference of a little less than three miles, as against three and three-fourths in 1890. The island has little Importance and is known chief ly as a watering place.

Murphy, a locomotive engineer on the Burlington’s fast ex press between Hanibal and St. Joseph has been making observations on the speed of various birds and in sects. Many birds, he says, make a practice of flying beside or in front of his engine and w{hen the weather Is clear and there is no ^ind he opens the throttle and races with them. He finds that the chicken hawk and a crow can make twenty-five miles an hour. A turkey buzzard flies at the rate of ♦wenty-oue miles an hour. The pigeon Is one of the fastest birds in the United States. It makes a speed of forty-six miles an hour with ease. When chased by an eagle it can beat the Burlington’s St. Louis express. The wild duck is traveling at the rate of forty-four miles an hour while the hunter is pumping the con tents of a repeating gun at it. The blackbird, rebin, dove and other small b\rds travel at a speed of thirty- eight m’les an hour. The humming bird can and dees excel a speed of a mile a minute. Murphy says that a humming bee the other day flew in and out of his cab window while he was going at the rate of sixty- three miles an hour. The perform* ance lasted while the engine traveled a half mile.—St. Joseph News. CURE THE GRIP, IN ONE DAY WRIP1NE ms wo ANTI-GRIPINE IS GXJAR.ANTERD TO CUR.IL GRIP, BAD COLD, HEADACHE AND NEURALGIA.

Now I am free, thanks to Postum Food Coffee. “After finding out what coffee will do to its victims, I could hardly stand to have my husband drink it: but lie was not willing to quit. I studied for months to find a way to induce him to leave it off. Finally I told him I would make no more cofiY'*. “I got Postum Food Coffee, and made It strong—boiled it the required time, and had him read the little hook, ‘The Road to Wellville/ that comes in every pkg. “To-day Postum has no stronger ad vocate than my husband! He tells our friends how to make it, and that he got through the winter without a spell of the grip and has not had a headache for months—he used to be subject to frequent nervous headaches. “The stronger you drink Postum the more food you get; the stronger you drink coffee the more poison you get.” Name given by Postum Co., Hattie Creek Mich.

How often dowe hear the expres sion, “I am so ner vous, it seems as if I should fly;’’ or, “ Don't speak to me.” Little things annoy you and you can’t sleep, you are unable to quietly and calmly perform your daily tasks or care for your children. The relation of the nerves and gen erative organs in woman is so close that nine-tenths of the nervous pros tration, nervous debility, the blues, sleeplessness and nervous irritability arise from some derangement of the organism which makes her a woman. Fits of depression or restlessness and irritability ; spirits easily affected, so that one minute she laughs, the next miriute weeps ; pain in the abdominal region and between the shoulders; loss of voice; nervous dyspepsia; a tendency to cry at the least provoca tion-all these point to nervous pros tration. Nothing will relieve this distressing condition and prevent months of pros tration and suffering so surely as Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. Mrs. M. E. Shot well, of 103 Flatbuah Avenue, Brooklyn, N. Y f , writes: “I cannot express the wonderful relief I • have experienced by taking Lydia E. Pifrk- 1mm's Vegetable Compound. I suffered for a long time with nervous prostration, back ache, headache, loss of appetite. I could not sleep and would walk the floor almost every night. “I had three doctors and got no better, and life was a burden. I was advised to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and it has worked wonders for me. “I am a well woman, my nervousnew Is all gone and my friends say I look ten years younger.” f Will not the volumes of letters from women made strong by Lydia E. Pink- i ham’s Vegetable Compound convince all women of ita virtues ? Surely yon cannot wish to remain sick, weak and discouraged, exhausted each day, when you can be as easily cured o« other women. nainpa accepted. 10 p for 50c worth of Issdinir IHN nov-ltlo* Jn Choto. 1* eat Garden Seeds. 81’*, worth of Uuiverwl tto- wftuD Coni,)ns free with every order bULGIAXO'b fcLVD HTOKK.
