lung it into tho sea; the pretty white

board; then, taking poor Molly ir

..whore her maid bathed her por lr

there was no pain.

a terrible numbness, which crept

in Iiis frenzy, ho turned on him.
"You scoundrel," he said, going up !
to him, "do you know your careless
noss has killed my wife? If .she dies, j
I'll have you thrown into the sea!"
"Master Harry," said tho staid
Williams, who had been his master
siuco ho wail a boy, "don't hurt the
man; he's a native, and these natives
aro sometimes very clever with medi
cines, perhaps ho can do something
for my mistress!"
"(iod bless you for thinking of it,
Williams," he said in a broken voice;
"you tell him, you can understand his
jargon," and ho wont down again lo
Molly.
William?, explained as well as ho
oould what had happened, and tho
man Avith a glimmer of understanding,
thought ho could see what kind of a
snake it was from tho wound it had
itillictcd. Ho was accordingly shown
into Mrs. Astley' s cabin, and after
looking afc thc punctures, at once hur
ried away, sayiug he would bring some
thing, but he was afraid, he conlided
to Williams, that iL war, too late.

At Inst, after what seemed to tho
worn-out man a perfect eternity ot'

method scorned to Harry alarmingly

merely consisted in putting ti few
drops of a particular juico into thu

Tin; Now York correspondent of thc
Sheffield Telegraph is greatly im
pressed with Ihcovidcnccs that abound
of entire confidence in tho fiscal policy
of the admini: '.ration of President Me
Kinley nml ill the illtimal? stability of
tho conditions of revived prosperity.
Writing under dat.: of December I I tho
correspondent informs his English
renders ot tho ext mord i miry progress
made in the internal and foreign trade
of the United States under tho Protce-j
five system. Twenty years ugo dar j
export? of manufactured commodities!
amounted to only about $100,000,000,j
and in ISS'.l, just priai lo tho ona.:',
ment of tho McKinley I ari IV, these ox-!
ports had increased lesa than ? lu.00(1,-'
000, tho total hoing then ?M38,<?70,?i70.
Tn the fiscal year of 1897 the figures
had increased to $227,285,3?I, hoing
nearly 20per cent, of our total exports.
If to this we should add the product of'
our mines, forests, and lishorien--in
cluding canned goods- -all of which!
employ in their production more or
lesa skilled American labor, wo should'
have a M aggregate probably < : .-ceding
one-third ol' our total exports.
Tlie free trade readers of tho Shef
field newspaper are furlh":- infor.i ed
that "tho world is only beginning tu
have evidence of thc enormous produc
tive power of the United States.'' Tho
correspondent then quotes Mr. Mul
hall, the English statistician, as fol
lows:
"There is a decided tendency in tbo
trade of thc United States to open up
new channels in other parts of tho |
world than Europe. There is an ex
ception as regards Germany, with
which country commercial relations !
have mnde .'triking progress in ton

lt interests Sheffield to know that ;

All this must be extremely interrst

uformationof this character is eagerly
