LIFE AND DEATH.
So bo dies for his faith. That is fine?
More than most of us do.
But say. can you add to that line
That ho lived for it too?
In his death he bore witness at last
As a martyr to truth.
Did his life do the same in tho past
From the days of his youth?
It is easy to die. Men have died
For a wish or a whim?
From bravado or passion or pride.
Was it harder for him?
But to live?every day to !ive out
All the truth that ho dreamt,
While his friends met his conduct with doubt
And the world with contempt.
Was it thus that he plodded ahead,
Never turning aside?
Then we'll talk of the life that he led.
Never mind how he died.

t ; The Usual Ghost Ji

x Bt Hale Howard Eichabi s:>2i. * j
We were talking about ghosts and ;
psychical phenomena in general when
Lithgow volunteered a story.
"I don't repudiate the ghost business.
boys, but this is my nearest approach
to an apparition. It was down
in Rio "
"Then it was lizards," interrupted
Gammons, disgustedly.
Some one fetched him with a chunk
and Lithgow proceeded,?
"It was down in Rio just after the |
rebellion, when the navy bombarded j
the city. I was there surveying on a
projected railroad, and had hired a

.All I needed was a rocm, but the price 1
asked was so low, and the little gar- I
den with one or two orange and pa- I
paw trees looked so inviting, that I
took it The house was in bad repair,
only one of the rooms down stairs being
habitable by my standard. The
other room was only floored in part, j
but would do excellently for my pony, j
"What was upstairs I didn't know, j
as the steps of the rude"stairway had
been removed, and the opening above
boarded over. The neighborhood ;
seemed respectable, and there was a
small barraca opposite with several j
companies of soldiers.
"The first night, strange to say, I !
slept undisturbed, but may be I was ;
used up from an unusually hard bit of :
work. I was dimly conscious in the 1
morning of remembering that my {
hmse had been restless during the I
' night, and of having accounted for it j
by flies. The next day was pretty j
warm even for May, and the night |
failed to acquire its accustomed cool- ;
ness. I kept awake a long while. !
Then I noticed an increased restlessness
in the pony, and while wondering
what I could do for her comfort; some i
one began stalking in a deliberate ;
fashion across tne paruy uoarat-u i
floor. I expected to hear a voice, but J
my unknown visitor held his tongue, j
but maintained a mark-time sort of
% pacing to and fro.
"I jumped up without much attempt
at silence, ran to the door and flung it
open. The moonlight was sufficient to
show an empty room, save for the
quaking mare. The street door was
; securely barred, and I closed the window
shutters, although it seemed impossible
that any one could make a
speedy exit by them. Then I went to
bed again, speculating on the wherefore
of the intrusion, but soon fell
asleep.
"However, on the following night !
the same monotonous and slightly harassing
pit-pat was resumed. The
ghost did not keep schedule time, that
is the conventional midnight, but had '
a great faculty of perceiving the mo- 1
ment of my falling asleep. I arose
cautiously, pistol ip hand, and stood
listening by the door. Stamp, stump
?a somewhat irregular light and irregular
step was certainly sounding from
the other s'ide. I could hear the mare
dribbling out her breath as shetisaa-^"

"But the pony was all alone. The
moonlight streamed in the windows,
for it had been too stifling to close
the shutters. Daisy kept her head
turned with frightened eyes toward a
corner of the room, but there was nothing
there. Somehow I felt loth to linger,
and after soothing the trembling
pony, went back to my room and shut
the door carefully. Then I lit the lamp
and read and thought and dozed till
sleep overcame me altogether.
"Feliciano, the lieutenant opposite,
said with a shrug of his delicate shoulders
that no one stayed in that casa
very long. He wouldn't stay five minutes?after
dark. So I invited one of
the boys to the theatre and to stay
with me all night. We had hardly
blown out the light before the walking
began. Donovan started up.
" 'Who's your restless neighbor, Lithgow?'
" T don't know. Maybe two of us
can find out,' I answered in a ^hisper.
'You pull open the door and I'll jump
in.'
"But Donovan wanted the honor of
jumping in, and I readily consented.
We listened till Donovan whispered.
If 'Now let me at him!' and in he sprang.
" "By George! I heard him right

S There's been bloody murther! Let me

"We didn't sleep much the rest of
the night, because Donovan insisted on
relating hair-raising ghost stories. I
chaffed him into coming again. We
made ourselves comfortable in the
room with the horse. A game of euchre
passed the time until 11 o'clock,
and perhaps we took several swigs of
Dutch courage. We blew out the light
and lay down. I know I felt considerable
suspense, reclining there right on
the ghost's stamping ground, and Donovan
was breathing heavily.
"The suspense lasted long enough to
make us a little sceptical of our apparition.
Donovan turned over with a relieved
grunt, and I relaxed myself for
slumber. Suddenly Daisy gave a little
snort and we were wide awake. The
stump, stump, of the ghost's footsteps
sounded resonantly through the room.

a cold sweat. The step seemed at the
very bedside. The moon had gained
the zenith and left the room in shadow.
I sat up.
" 'D'ye see it?' said Donovan, hoarsely.
"All I could distinguish was Daisy,
with head turned toward the corner
she had indicated in her alarm the
night before. Indeed now that my attention
was directed the sound did
seem to come from there. I threw the
small club I had viciously toward that
quarter. Something intercepted its
flight before it reached the wall, and it
clattered to the floor in company with
something else.
"I struck a light and Donovan
jumped up.
"'By George!' he said. 'The ghost
has dropped his walking stick!'
"He gingerly picked up a light bamboo
pole about nine feet long. Simul.
\
tanoously we peered upward; I held
the light higher.
" 'Shure. he dropped his cane going
through that crack,' commented Donovan.
indicating a narrow space between
the boards covering the stairway opening.
"We cocked our revolvers.
" 'Come down, ye luney spalpeen,
commanded Donovan, as brave as a
lion now. 'or we fill your foggy carcass

"The boaids were displaced.
" 'Don't shoot, senhors! I descend

dropped through and stood bowing before
us.

expressive side glance toward the liquor.
He responded quickly to my n??.

LANDS WITHOUT COLONIES.
Only n Single Latin-American State Hat
Acquired a < olony.
One of the most interesting facts
that will occur to any one who examI
ines a map of the colonial possessions
of the world, is that, of all the LatinAmerican
countries occupying about
cne-half of the Western World, none
has acquired any lands outside of its
continental domain except the little
Republic of Ecuador. The Galapagos
Islands, which form a little world
" ** ' 1 _ _ A - ^ O 4 V\ \ TY> _
apari iar irom me coast ut ouum America,
belong politically to Ecuador.
These 15 islands are really worth developing.
though Ecuador has done
scarcely anything for them except to
occupy them in 1832. Their settled
population, concentrated on Chatham
Island, is now less than 300.
All the other Latin-American countries
have had so much trouble at
home that they apparently have not
cared to acquire possible trouble
abroad. At all events, their territorial
ambition has been confined to the
mainland, where most of them are
still claiming more land than their
neighbors concede to belong to them.
Argentina, to be sure, still asserts
that the Falkland Islands belong to
her by right, but Great Britain has
never conceded the claim and is in
full possession of the islands. The
misunderstanding is still unsettled,
and seems to have been pigeon-holed
without any agreement. It is years
since Argentina filed Ler last protest.
Chili maintains the most southern
postoffice in the world at Punta Arenas.
There are settlements further
south where mails have irregular distribution.
but Punta Arenas is included
in the postal system of the country
of which it is a part. But this settlement
on the Straits of Magellan is
as much a part of Chili proper as Valparaiso.
The time was when Chili,
if she had been so disposed, might
have acquired seme of the Pacific
groups, for they were open to the first
comer, and Chilf, being nearest to
them, had considerable influence
among them. Even today the Chilian
silver dollar is current two-thirds of
the way across the ocean between
Chili and Australia. It is found in Samoa
and the Tonga group and barely
misses the Fiji Islands. But Chili lost
her chance. She has been absorbed by
home boundary disputes to the exclusion
of all the early opportunities
to acquire Pacific islands.
France, in fact, is now the only
Latin country that may be called a
colonial power of large importance.
The Canary Islands are today the
most valuable remnant remaining to
Spain offcer former vast colonial empire.
"J^rtugal's African possessions
^?re*'large, but she is depending upon
foreign capital and enterprise for most
of their development, which is as yet
very small in proportion to their great
population and extent. Italy's territory
on the east coast of Africa has
I been an expensive luxury and has
involved her in the humiliation of
being the first white power in Africa
to be decisively defeated by a native
foe.
The European powers that have no
colonies are the Kingdom of Sweden
and Norway, which has long seacoasts
but small population; Austria-Hungary,
j which has a very short seacoast but
large population; Switzerland and Sen
j via, which have no sea coasts, and all
j the other Balkan states except Turkey,
some of the outlying parts of
whose empire enable it to take rank
among the colonial powers. All the
Asiatic possessions of Russia bear the
relation of colonies to the central
government. Belgium, to all intents
and purposes, is responsible for the
Congo state and may declare it a colony
when she chooses to do so.
Japan entered the colonial arena
with the acquisition of Formosa, and
China would have stepped out of it
by the loss of the same island if It j
had not been for possessions in Central
Asia which she still holds. The
Chinese are great colonizers along the
coasts of Asia and in the Malay Archipelago;
but when they leave their native
shores they have to go to foreign
countries. Siara, Persia, Afghanistan
and Corea, which are counted among
the independent countries of Asia,
have no colonies.
The regions of the world that rank
as colonies are far greater in extent
than all the states that have no
colonies; and some of the colonies
such as Canada, Australia and India
are of far more importance than most
of the independent states that do not
hold foreign possessions.?New York

The recent census of Ireland shows a
marked decrease in population, which has
been attributed to their recent famine, causing
thousands of people to emigrate. If we
are to live and enjoy life we must havo plenty
to eat, but after all it is not the amount eaten
that gives strength but the way it is digested.

To Wash a, Print Drew.
The washing of a print dress well is
not nearly such a simple matter as
might be supposed, and it is of considerable
importance that it should be
done well, for, although it is not.expensive
material to buy in the first
place, still its making and details cost
as much as if it were, and nothing is
uglier than a print dress with half the
color washed out of it. The water
should not be too hot, and into it must
neither soda nor any washing or soap
powder be put. A lather must be
made as for flannels, and but little
soap used on the dress, and it should
only remain in the water long enough
to bring out the dirt Next it must be
rinsed in cold water slightly salted,
and to which a little vinegar has been
added. The former fixes the colors,
and the latter brightens them. Next,
wring tightly and dry quickly, but not
ir. the sun, or the colors will fade, and
if dried slowly they will run. Wearers
of print dresses should not let them
get too dirty before washing or the
color has to be sacrificed to cleanliness.
A Cheap Sitting Room.
"We are furnishing our sitting room
on the go-without-system plan," said
a careful young housekeeper. "This
is better than any hire or purchase
system yet invented.
"The sitting room is the room between
our small drawing room and the
still smaller kitchen, and it must be
used as both dining room and our
workshop. The centre of the floor is
covered with a square of linoleum,
and there is a deep border of staining
round the rest of the floor. The stain
is of a rich mahogany color. It is effective,
serviceable and cheap. Here
is the recipe: One pint of the cheapest
varnish, about a nickel's worth of
burnt sienna, and about a nickel's
worth of brown umber. Mix the sienna
and the umber in the varnish until
a good mahogany Bhade is obtained
and paint evenly with a rather large
brush.
"We got two good boxes from the
-i t on
grocers, au incnes ions, l\> imuro mw
and 16 inches deep.
"Jack screwed these two boxes together
lengthways and hinged on
strong lids.
"Then I made two mattresses to fit
the top.
"First I made what might be called a
'model mattress' about six inches long,
four inches wide and two inches deep.
This is of strong ticking stuffed with
flock and 'buttoned* in quite a professional
way. After stuffing the ticking
I sewed it in places through and
through with a darning needle and
strong thread.
"The miniature mattress was then
covered with a remnant of pink brocade,
the edges bound with narrow
pink ribbon, and little tufts of thick
floss silk at regular intervals, as on a
real mattress. Here I had a charming
and novel pincushion, that is also very
useful.
"It will hold hat pins as well as
small pins.
"After making the 'model mattress'
I found it an easy matter to do the
. same work on a large scale. I find that
the real secret in making a good mattress
is in the buttoning. I stuffed a
ticking made to fit the top of the boxes
with 'flocks' and put my sofa mattress
on the floor, leveled it as though making
a bed, and sewed through and
through each place where the buttons
go with a packing needle and fine
twine, taking care to finish off the
stitches securely.
"The valance is of terra cotta serge,
double width, and has a tape run
through the top, which is caught on
small tacks at intervals and fastened
round two small nails at each end of
the couch.
"The top cover is a width of the
serge edged all round with ball fringe
and shaped at the corners to fit the
mattress."?Washington Star.

THE JACKET OF GRAY.
Written for the Morning News by Mrs.
C. A. Ball about 1864 or 1865.
Fold it up carefully, lay it aside.
Tenderly touch it, look on it with
pride?
For dear must it be to our hearts evermore,
The Jacket of Gray, our loved soldier
boy wore.
Cau we ever forget when he joined
the brave band,
Who rose in defense of our dear
Southern land.
And in his bright youth, hurried on
to the fray
How proudly he donned it, the Jacket
of gray.
His fond mother blessed him, and
loosed uy auuve,
Commending to Heaven the child of
her love;
What anguish was hers, mortal tongue
may not say,
When he passed from our sight, in
the jacket of gray.
But liis country had called, and she
would not repine,
Though costly the sacrifice placed in
its shrine;
Her heart's dearest hopes on its altar
she lay.
"When she sent out her boy, in the
jacket of gray.
Months passed, and war's thundrers
rolled over the land.
Unsheathed was the sword and lighted
the brand;
We heard in the distance the sound
of the fray,
And prayed for our boy, in the jacket
of gray.
Oh! vain, all, all vain, were our prayers
and our tears;
i The glad shout of victory rang in our
ears;
But our treasured one on the red battle
field lay,
While the life-blood oozed out on the
jacket of gray.
His young comrades found him, and
gently bore
The cold, lifeless form to his home by
the shore.
Oh! dark were our hearts on that terrible
day,
When we saw our dead boy in the
jacket of gray.
Ob! spotted and tattered and stained
now with gore,
Was the garment which once he so
proudly wore.
We bitterly wept as we took it away
And replaced with Death's white
robes, the jacket of gray.
We laid him to rest in his cold, narrow
bed,
And 'graved on the marble we placed
o'er his head,
As the proudest of tributes our sad
hearts cold pay,
"He never disgraced the jacket of
gray."
Then fold it up carefully, lay it aside,
Tenderly touch it, look on it with
pride;
For dear must it be to our hearts
ever more,
The jacket 01 gray our soldier boy
wore.

The Assassination of Alexander II,
Shall I ever forget It? It was on a
Sunday about two o'clock. We were
rehearsing, a new play. Some of us
were In the green-room, when the Emperor
passed, escorted by his Cossacks.
We were standing at the window,
and with a smile he gave us the <
military salute we knew so well. He
had hardly turned the corner when
we heard an explosion. We looked
at one another, and the same thought
crossed each mind?an attempt on the
Emperor's life! We rushed out, and
arrived at the corner of the street just
in time to see, 200 yards from us
the explosion of a second bomb, which
proved to be the fatal ono. The first
had killed two Cossacks. While they
were arresting the assassin, the Czar,
deaf to the entreaties of his coachman,
wnu wttuieu iu uiive uu wiui an speea,
came out of his carriage to say a word
of sympathy to his dying soldiers. He
took their hands, and addressing their
murderer, h.e said: "Wretch, see what
you have done in your blind fury!"
After a last look of pity at his faithful
servants, he was about to re-enter his
carriage, when a man standing at the
door, dropped another bomb, which he
had kept concealed in his handkerchief,
and that one not only killed the
nihilist himself but mortally wounded
the Emperor. In a moment the
street before deserted, was crowded
with people coming from every direction.
Sleighs were going to and fro,
and all we heard was, "Thank God,
the Emperor lives!" His carriage being
damaged, he was placed in a
sleigh and driven to the palace, where
he expired a few hours later. His
legs had been shattered.?Mile. Rhea,
in The Century.
MODIFIED EGGS.
The "drummer," whose route took
him to the lumber districts of Maine,
went down to the breakfast table at
the hotel one morning to find that the
chief dish was to be scrambled eggs.
The rosy-cheeked waitress was gone
a long time after his order and finally
appeared with cheeks rosier than ever.

"I am perfectly well," t*.
says Mrs. Martin, of

Mrs. Anna Martin, 47 Hoyt atreat,

" Perunadtd so much for m<J that I

I others who may be similarly afflictcd.
About a year ago my health was
I comuletelv broken downi had back
ache, dizziness and irregularities,
and life seemed dark indeed. We
had used Peruna in our home a* a
tonic and for colds and catarrh and

my pains had entirely disappeared,
and I am now perfectly
well."?Mrs, Anna Martin.
Miss Marie Johnson, 11 Columbia, East.
Detroit, Mich., is Worthy Vice Templar
in Hope Lodge No. 0, Independent Order
Good Templars. Miss Johnson, as 90 many
other women also have done, found in Peruna
a specific for a severe case of female
weakness. She writes:
"I want to do what I can to let the
whole world know what a grand medicine
Peruna is. For eleven years I suffered
with female troubles and complications
arising therefrom. Doctors failed to cure
me, and I despaired of being helped. Peruna
cured me in three short months. I
can hardly believe it myself, but it is a
blessed fact. I am perfectly well now, and
have not had an ache or pain for months.
I want my suffering sisters to know what
Peruna has done for me."?Miss Marie
Johnson.
Miss Ruth Emerson, 72 Sycaidore st.,
Buffalo, N. Y., writes: "I suffered for two
years with irregular and painful menstruation,
and Peruna cured me within six

It is no longer a question as to whether
i Peruna can be relied on to cure all such
cases. During the many years in which " r~j
Peruna has been put to test in all forms
and stages of acute and chronic catarrh
no one year has put this remedy to greet'
er test than the past year.
Peruna is the acknowledged catarrh remedy
of the age. Dr. Hartman, the compounder
of Peruna, has written a book on
the phases of catarrh _peculiar to women,
entitled, "Health and Beauty." It will be
sent free to any address by The Peruna
Medicine Co., Columbus, 0.
If you do not derive prompt and satisfactory
results from the use of Peruna,
write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a
full statement of your case and he willbe
pleased to give you his valuable advice . -vi
