i Told In a* I I Country Stoib | What the country store man can not tell you of every passerby and every customer yon are not likely to learn yoursejf. _ Tbat was wpat I was tmnking^as I 6at in Bijah's store,, with the mingled odors of calico print and dried apples, coffee and the straw that crockery is jpacked in fighting for supremacy in my notice. Bijah's broadj back was turned to me, and he w^is sorting the.day's mail with comments that made mo as wise as himself regarding its contents. ; "Mis' Mi-randy Beal," said Bijah. "That'll be abaout her pension, I znas. Ruther efficial lookin', that fs. Mr. Asy Fowler. His son John 'Jlaone down to Pochemouth?he writes tcr him nigh onter every week, an* a nice, clean hand ho writes, does John. Here's a letter fur th' schulema'am. Now, there's han'writin' fer ye ! Putty as she is an' jest as simple like." The latch clicked, and the door opened. Bijah looked over his shoulder and grin?d. I was shut out from sight of more than the vis itor's legs by a slack lino of dan cling towels, aprons and socks, br they were steady, reliable looking legs, straight and strong, clothed in heavy boots and blue overalls. Bijah neither turned nor laid down his letters. He stood there grinning, and whether the person in the doorway was grinning also or plotting my assassination in pupto minic I was none the wiser. The heavy boots shuffled and turned obout, stepped outside, and the door shut. Bijah chuckled to himself ard looked back to his let ters again. "Them papers is fur young Thompson. He's tn' editor uv our paper. He's alive?alive an' kiok in'. He's been out west fur a spell, an' lie thinks we're all dead an' buried, ..in' he has made a great change in th' Bugler, I 'tell ye. Folks say he'll be made ter smart fur the way he musses raound inter, people's affairs; but it's lively, it's lively." The papers went into a separate box, und Bijah resumed the letters. "Mehaly Hopkins,. Bhe's got a heap uv money. 'Mazin' haow fond yer folks is uv ye when yer got a pile arj' ain't no heirs uv yer buddy, she's good fur 'em, though. She's a cute un." "1 suppose it is unusual for any one to make much more than his living anyway up here, isn't it, Bijah?" "Humph I Yes, fur any one, not fur some on 'em, though. Some on 'em is smarter*n greasedTightnin'." He put his head on one side and squinted at the letter he . was hold ing. "Him, now, Jeremiah Wilson, he's a keen un. Nobody ever got th' best uv th' ole man but Jim. lYe saw Jim?come in here jest naow. Ain't no tater bugs on Jim. iWhen he gits up, he's up fur all day." Bijah grinned and wagged his. head. "Jere-miah ? Wil-son!" he re marked and Blapped tho letter into its pigeonhole. The latch clicked again, the door opened, and the same pair of legs appeared in the very same spot where I had seen them before. Bijah grinned. Presumably the unseen grinned also, for there was too much of Bijah's grin not to be offensive, if it were otherwise. "What ye want?" "NothinV "We don't keep that, or ef we do we're jest ao?t uv it." The big boots turned about slow "Sure ye don't want no lamps, are ye?" > : "Gals go with'em'?" ? "Not in this shop." i "That settles it as fur as I'm concerned."' And he went away and closed the door again. * Bijah looked after him and i chuckled. - i "Whafs the joke, Bijah,?" "Don't know &$ I'd orter say 1 an'thing ao?tside, but ye know how 1 it io, Mr. Carson. Ye never seem J no stranger." a "JEand over your story, you old 1 gossip," I answered. "Why, it ? would burn your tongue off if you 1 tried to keep* it in." ,1 Bijah laughed heartily at this pd- t lite cally. "Well, I take fur my te*7 as , Elder Slocum says, that beautiful axum, 'AH is fair in love an' war.' " 8 He came around the end of the a counter and sat on an unopened t sugar barrel, with his legs crossed t and his rough bands' clasped around ' his knee. s "Th* ole man; Jeremiah Wilson, ? that I mentioned-back a spell, bo's 1 a Tartar. He don't know nothin* ? but his own way, an' Mis' Wilson, j: ?he never knowM nothin' but tier ? gin it ter him. Tie's got-a trick: uv d turnin' red'faced.an' lookin' like he f was a-goin' ter Trust, an' Mis' Wil- b son, she was bo neat she couldn't bear ter hev her house mussed, so she jest gin in ter him. , "There wus one galr-Mame her 0i name was?an' they both thought a sight uv her. She wa'n't no more c< like neither uv them than nothin* fit all, an' they both tried projecks with her. . T "Her father wanted her tcr be a ?j bpy> an' he allus felt as of she done li??T when 6he waVt. Be wanted, ter make a lawyer out uv her. He's dead in'love with lowing olo man W?Eon is. But ye might better try ter make a hossrake out uv whalebones an* gristle as ter make a lawyer outer Marne. What th* ole man said was gospel, though. She felt porter like she better not make bin* no, more-, hard, a toll u after not be in5 that boy, he wanted. "Her mother meant her ter be a good housekeeper an' put up p'eerves an* make pickles} an' Mame would stan* at th winder an* sing an' furgit all abaout her mess till 'twas clean spilt. "After Mis' Wilson died, though, Mame done better raound th' haouse. Mebbe ef th' ole man was ter die she'd take ter lawin*. Ye can't tell. She kin do most an'thing. "Jest abaout then Jim Lane be gan ter sleeve raound with Mame Wilson. Smart as a steel trap he is. He runs th' sawmill up th' creek. But th* ole man hates bira like pizen, an' he talked ter Mame till she 'lowed she wouldn't take up with Jim 'less he was willin'. "Jim Lane is th* darnedest good naturcd feller ye ever see. He's allus got a good word an' a pleasant smile fur folks, an' he'll go further out uv his track fur a -friend than most anybuddy I know. "He took it offul hard abaout Marne, au' he reg*ly got mopy an' down in th' mouth abaout it. An' then he got his second wind, an' he tried every witch way ter play it on th* ole man. But Mame, she got putty stuffy, too, an' she declared she'd never 'pose her father, an' there 'twas." Bijah got off the barrel to sell a couple of candy balls to a rosy faced little lass who was so short as to bo visible under the slack line and resumed as she closed the door of the shop. "Th' hull village knew all abaout it, an' they talked it up early an' late. Th' gals, they wasn't slow ter say what they'd do ef they was in her place, an' th' Bugler took a hand, so ter speak, an' nearly drove th' ole man wild. But Miss Peter son, th' minister's sister, she 'lowed that Mame was right ter mind her father. " 'Look a-herc,' says Jim, 'ain't I go. no rights at all?' an' Miss Peter son, she laughed an' said she s'posed so, but he certainly didn't orter ask Mame tor take th' responsibility nv breakin' her word." Bijah chuckled and changed his,] legs -and clasped the other knee. '"Twasn't very long after that ole Wilson went home one night. 'Twas gettin' early dusk, an' he i tole Mame she'd better get th' lamp afore she set down ter tea. Mame was a-goirK through th' entryway with a whoppin' great shade lamp in her * hand when somebody knock ed ter th' front- door, an' she jeBt stopped an' opened it without think in'. "Jim Lane was a-standin' there. *Don't say nothin', Mame,' says he, an' he takes her bodily, lamp an' all, an' tuckf her inter a carrid^e that he had at th*. gate. He didn't fool raound with no railroad train, but jest turned them horses' heads fur^Canada, an' when they got ter th'line Mame was a-settin* there, as still as a mouse without ary hat er coat, an* that big shade lamp s-burnin' jest as peart as ef it was on th' ole man Wilson's table ter j iiome." I Bijah spat at the stove and j laughed to himself. "Fearful thing, th' ingratitoode } uv children, ain't it ? But ye'd 1 orter seen th' Bugler nex* mornin*. ! Every dad blamed colume in it had , a big headline: 'Jim Lane Has Got His Gal.' 'Jim Lane Has,Got His j Gal.' Gosh, that jest proved ole Wilson wouldn't never hev busted when he didn't bust that mornin'. < "He went whoopin' off ter his lawyer ter see what he cud do ter Jim, but Mame, she was uv age, an' she writ him that she went uv her own free wilij so all he cud make any fuss absout was th' lamp, an' they've been a-lawinr an' foolin' an' a-arbitratin' ever since." Self Murder In Hot Weather. It has. .long been a matter of ob servation that a protracted hot spell is always marked by many suicides. The vital forces run low in hot weather, the brain is frequently af fected by the heat, physical weak ness and prostration arc common ind life loses many of its attrac tions. The result is an increase of suicide, which diminishes as the ^mperature falls, the atmosphere secomes purified and- vitality, ener gy and ambition return. The Same Old Story. J. A. Kelly relates an experieuce iuiilar to that which has happened in moat every neighborhood in the Uni ed ?tates and has heen told und . re old by thousands of other*. He says: '!j:u?t summer I had an attack of dy entery and purchased a bottle of lhamberlain s .Colic, Cholera and >iarrhoca Remedy, which I used ao ording to directions and with entire f satisfactory results.

Knot* That Are Tied For Worse, Not For Better. Nothing is more beautiful than tho old age of a man and wife who have grown dear to each other by the manifold experiences of life. So nothing is more grim and hid eous than such an old age when tho long years have heaped up bitter ness and discord only. In many a country household, where wifo beating would be regarded with horror, there is practiced a cruelty no less terrible and even more per sistent. An old couple who had been mar ried fifty years finally separated be cause the man wanted a half bushel of ashes on the hearth and his wifo wanted only a peck. They had ar gued the question unremittingly and savagely for forty-nine years and at last <mded tho bitter sport by a stormy parting. There is a grim humor in many of the countryman's expressions of his domestic irritation and discom fort, but they arc nono tho lesB sig nificant of untold suffering. One night a country doctor was detained at a farmhouse where hus band and wife wore notoriously in compatible. From the "kitchen bedroom" where he was installed he was forced to hear every word of a tirade which the woman poured upon the head of her husband. The victim bore it without a word. At last, tho doctor relates, the farmer rose to go to the barn for his nightly visit to "the critters." With his hand on the latch of the door he flung back over his shoulder, "Waal, Sairey, there's that in yc that nothin' but the ground'll ever take out!" An old blacksmith drove homo from the funeral of his wife with a lifelong friend. As they rode slowly through a winter twilight the wiJ- j ower half soliloquized : "She wac a good cook an' a first rate house keeper. She was savin'. She allers kep' me mended up. But I never liked her!" The grotcsquencss of the inci dents does not cuiiceal their tragedy. That might be made tho. text of a sermon on self control, cheerfulness,, lovingness and the other homely, useful domestic virtues. These samo virtues must be planted and culti vated in the boy and thp girl if mar riage is to be aught but an intoler able slavery for the man and the woman.?Youth's Companion. An American War of One Battle. In the annals of the American navy no achievement of a single commander in a single ship sur passes that of David McDougal in the Wyoming at Simonoseki. Hap pening on the other side of the globe during our civil war this dar ing exploit passed unnoticed at the time. Briefly told, the story is this: A sloop of war of six guns, in a nar row strait, engaged during seventy minutes a force of seven batteries mounting thirty heavy guns and three men-of-war carrying eighteen guns, in all forty-eight guns. Tho Japanese force comprised probably 1,200. men. The Wyoming, unas sisted, destroyed one of the batter ies, sank two ships, disabled a third and emerged from the conflict with a loss of four men killed and seven wounded. Ravages of the Black Death. The beginnings of the black death arose in China about the year-1333 with drought a?? famine in the great rivcr^plaius, which were fol lowed by floods so violent that 400, 000 people perished. Great telluric convulsions occurred over tho same tracts. The mountain Tsinchebu fell in and vast clefts were formed, from which it is said that noxious vapors ascended. Anyhow, flood and famine were followed next year by a terrible plague, which carried off 5,000,000 of the wretched. Chi nese, while in 1337 a still more dreadful famine destro}'ed another 4,000,000.?All the Year Bound. Mastication. , If, your tendency is to gulp down food like porridge and vegetables, :iuitc wet, the obvious remedy is to eat them in a dry state, or else eat tvith them alternate mouthfu?s of Iry bread or cracker. A cracker is ldmirablc to induce mastication, for the reason that it compels ono to eat slowly. The tendency to moisten ;he food continually while eating in ;ome artificial way is responsible for nuch rapid eating and imperfect nastication. His Bu?ineas Habits.

Fxperlenco of a New York Lawyer In the Amazon Valley. A New York lawyer, who has traveled a great deal, had an en counter with an anaconda, which ho describes as follows: "I was riding ahead of my party along a narrow road in ino. Amazon valley. My mount was a large^white mule, whose only ambition in life seemed to bo to bite and kill?every one he encountered. ? do not-know but what he was a more dangerous quadruped than any of the wild-an imals in the Matteo gfosso. On either side of .tho road roso the for est. The branches of tho trees-met here and there overhead, so that the thoroughfare looked more like a verdant tunnel than a country ! road. Suddenly my mule stopped, j dropped his cars and turned his head about. Thinking that this was evidence of a desiro on his part to bite my leg, I was about to whip him "when I noticed that he was shivering all over in an ague. "I looked up and down tho road, and then I shivered. Not more than sixty feet away a huge snake, half coiled around a bough which pro jected over the road, lay swinging and looking at me with a glare that was not at all assuring. I had left my rifle behind on a baggage mule and had nothing with which to fight save a hunting knife. I drew this promptly from the scabbard and with the courage worthy of a better cause used it as a spur upon my luckless steed, which turned and galloped for dear life in the opposite direction. "I reached my party, got the rifle and with my men galloped back to secure tho Constrictor. The reptile end I must have had the samo brand of bravery.- "He had dropped from the bough and vanished in tho I Tfcosses of the jungle."?Nov.- York ! Post. _ Colora Produced In Iron. Investigation as to the cause of the production of colors in temper ing iron satisfactorily eIiows it to be -duo to the formation of thin films of ^xido on the surface of tho metal when it is heated in the pres ence of air. It also appears that the oiido so produced is practically; transparent, first because the se quence of colors is what would be expected in films of a transparent substance when the thickness of the films gradually increases?also be cause of observation on the reflected light, the color of which varies somewhat at different angles?but chiefly because it is found that on increasing the temperature a little above the point necessary to produce dark blue the color gradually dis appears and the surface, though covered with more oxide, becomes almost golorless again. The colors being Tthe result of oxidation, it-is i probable that the nature of thejsur face to bo heated, its freedom from any soiling and the length of time during which it is heated must exert a considerable influence on the shade produced. Only the Truth. * In a town of D., whenever a lec turer can be induced to visit that out of the way place, the audience is, as a rule, kindly disposed. It is said that a chairman, after a de pressing address in the local "insti tute," assured the speaker that his discourse . was "moving, soothing and satisfying." ? When reproved next morning as having commended a dismal fail ure he denied the charge and main tained that he had uttered no appro bation, but oniy simple facts? namely, that the lecture was "mov ing," because a large prop : "tion of the audience fidgeted in their seats and several left the room; it was "soothing" because many fell asleep, and it was "satisfying" because there was not a single person who had not had enough.?London ! Chronicle. Patience Among the East Indiana. Every one knows how the Indian can endure and wait. "Why are there so many people at this rail way station ?" "They are waiting," the official answers, "for tomorrow's train." His patience indeed goes to make that dignity which justi fies the saying, "There is no vul garity in India." He does not strive nor cr}', he does not assert himself by speech or drees. He is not anx ious to seem other than ho is.

Wit and Wisdom. | The Atlanta Constitution hau dis covered a negro presober who seems to be preaching a gospel tbat is calcu lated to benefit bis ratio materially. His name is W. W.. Lucas and he is field aooretary of the Negro Young People s Christian and Educational Congress that will assemblo in Atlanta in August. This youbg negro, who is described as a "Black John the Bap tist," a combination of Mark Twain, Sam Jones and Mr. Dooloy, made a speech in Mobile a few days ago, from which tbe Constitution takes thete extracts: "A great hindrance to tbe progress of the race is the two by four bigoted, selfish, ignorant Baptist or Methodist preacher. He is in every community, opposing every measure of progress. "I have decided that the only, way to get rid of the "Jim Crow" car is to get rid of the "Jim Crow" negro. "If I could use 200,000 bars of soap on the unwashed negroes that travel on trains and hang around depots I would solve the negro problem about 20 per cent. "Lazy, ragged, barcfeet fellows, longing for silver slippers and long white robes and counting tbomselves worthy; neglecting to provide a borne for their families on earth and yet claiming a house not made with their hands in God's heaven! "Tbe white mac is trying to make this earth blossom as a rose and tho negro is getting ready to die. "The white man is organizing busi ness enterprises and the negro organ izing societies to turn out at their funerals! Now, I objeet to a hundred dollar funeral for a fifty-cent negro." Unquestionably this man possesses both wit and wisdom. Iiis talks are calculated to do good. End he should be given the right of way. Hnir aud Grass. There is a major in a certain Eng lish Regiment who has a great con tempt for incapacity of any kind and is somewhat impatient into the bar gain. Some time ago be was in charge of a detaobment of men, and a ser geant complained tbat bo could get no man to undertake tbe duty of barber to tho company. "Is there no gardener in tbe com pany?" ai?ked tbe major testily. "I seem to remember one. Send him to me." The man was duly sent, but ou re ceiving orders to act as barber, ven tured to expostulate. "Great heavens!" yelled tbe major, "If you can cut grass, you can out hair." The man went, but what the otherc Boi? n unprintable. CASTOR IA ( For Infants and Children.

Out in one of the border towns a case was in progress, one of the law yers being an eastern man who was new to the country. "Will you charge the jury, your honor?" he asked. "Oh, no, I guess not," replied tbe judge, "I never charge tbem anything.

A bishop was traveling in a mining country and cnoountercd an old Irish man turning a windlass which hauled up ore out of a shaft. It was his j work to do this all day long. His hat | was off, and the sun poured down on bis head. "Don't you know the sun will in jure your brain if you expose it in that manner?"
