r.ot one of them declined. In the mid?
dle of the meal Wainwright, senior,
declared he would never come again
to Widow Jurdle for another farthing
of rent.
She was as good as her wora, ana
her secretly ndopted daughter became
the possessor of riches. This romarka
ble act was diffused abroad, and the
attitude towards her was changed
permanently from the hour when it
was credited and realized as a truth.

What She Wanted.
1 "Is there anything you want?" asked
'the butcher of the little girl with the
soulful eyes and fawn-like air.
"Oh, yes, sir," lisped the little angel,
timidly. "I want a sealskin sacque, and
'a di'mond ring, and a trotting hor6e,
and a steam yacht, and a foreign noble?
man, and a pug dog, and a brown stone
house, and a box at the opery, and lots
jof other things; but all ma wants is
ten cents' worth of bologna sausage for
dinner, and won't you please trust her
lor it till Saturday "night?"?Judge.
A Queer Lighthouse.
: On Arniish rock, in the Hebrides, a
illghthouse without any light has been
?established. It is some 500 feel from
;ehore. On the shore a light is estab?
lished, and its> rays are projected to
:the structure on the rock. There they
lore received by a mirror which reflects
jthemin thedesired direction.?Youth's
janion.
Mistaken Generosity.
Because it is easier to milk when
the cow's bag is full and a full stream
will flow, and also because the saliva
in the calf's mouth makes milking un
ipleasant for the milker, it is the habit
of many farmers to draw what milk
they want for the house and let the
:calf take what is left. This is a mis?
taken generosity on the part of the
?farmer, and terd? 1? rufn the cow, as
Ia 0x6 time the calf gets to the strip?
lings it is tired of suckling, and will
isever drain cut the last drop, as? the
good milker always does.?Dakota
Tield and Farm.
He Did His Best.
The distinction between the parish
rector and the curate in the old days
is Migrated by a story of an old rec?
tor. Returning to his parish after his
autumn holiday, and noticing a woman
at bcr cottage door with her baby in
her arms, he asked: "Uas that child
been baptized?" "Well, sir," replied
the courfesying mother, "I shouldn't
like to say as much as that, but your
young man came and did what he
could."?San Franciso Aroronaut.

Cash Argument.
Some people pay their bills, some pay them
after many months, some never pay at all. Note
the leakage through bad debts. It requires addi?
tional book-keeping, postage and stationery,
money, time lost looking after collections. See
the needless expense. We have always summarized
these expenses., added them to the original cost;
we had to, or lose money. We are avoiding this
needless expense, by selling for cash. And this
expense we deduct from the price of what we sell.
To do this, we exterminated credit and put cash
in its stead.
To see how much we have deducted from
former prices, come in and read the new
prices On Our wares.
56-piece decorated Tea Set for $3.42, former
price $5. This is only one instance of what cash
does. Cash talks here.

CAN THE QUEEN ABDICATE?
Victoria's Retirement AVoald Have a
nad Effect on Many of Her
DUtnnt Subject*.
There nrc not only pecuniary nnd
constitutional difficulties in the way of
abdication, says Harper's Magazine
The queen, however, is not only queen
of Great Britain and Ireland, she is
also empress of India, reigning sover
tign over more Moslems than the grand
Turk and more Africans and Asiatics'
than nn}- other civilized monarch. Ab?
dication would be misunderstood b\
most, misrepresented by some and re?
sented by all of them. Death they
know; a living ruler they understand.
What is abdication to the border tribes
of the Hindoo Koosh. to the lake-dwell?
ers of Nyassaland, Uganda or the
fierce tribesmen of the Soudan? From
an imperial standpoint a scepter
dropped from the hand of the great
white queen can be borne aloft in hei
lifetime by no successor.
In man}' parts of the world the
Rritish raj is personified in the little
lady who. 00 years ago, said to those
who told her that she was a queen: "I
will be good." In some parts of India
die is actually worshiped ns a goddess.
Tn her lifetime the native races of the
empire will either look to the queen
as their ruler or they will assume that
something has happened that saps and
neutralizes British power. These im?
perial considerations ns to Hie effect
on Asiatics and Africans were also in
(he minds of the ministers when they
unanimously refused to ndvise the
queen to rest from the crushing bur?
den of the crown.
THE MONKEY BREAD TREE.
Itv Frail Is I Bed to Prepare tue
Aciilulous Drink to Care
Fevers.
Cnpe Verde?that is. Hie Green Cape
is said to owe its name in part to the
foliage of the Adamsonia digitata.
which adorns the whole of Senegambia
and Guinea with its green elliptic
arches; a full-grown tree presenting at
a distance almost the appearance of a
forest, says the Philadelphia Press. Ac?
cording to Adamson, trees are met with
havinb a diameter of 30 feet, although
the height of the tree is moderate, vary?
ing from 50 to f>0 feet.
The lower branches, however, ihcot
out to nn incredible length, at first in
a horizontal direction. These are cov?
ered with an immense foliage, which,
from its weight, causes them to bend
toward the ground, nnd thus there is
presented a huge hemispherical mass
of verdure, 120, 140 or even 150 feet in
diameter, and perhaps CO feet in height.
The fruit is an oblong, dull green,
downy body, eight or nine inches long,
containing several cells, in which there
is a number of hard shining seeds, im?
mersed in a soft pulp, which is scarce?
ly juicy. From this pulp the native
negroes prepare nn acidulous drink,
much used in the fevers of the country.
The bruised leaves In a dry state
form a substance called halo, which
they mix with their food and imagine
it useful in checking or counteracting
the effects of profuse perspiration. All
the soft parts of the tree are emollient
or mucilaginous.
CurzoT?'s Had Wrltlug.
It is said of Mr. George Curzon, the
new governor general of India, that his
handwriting became quite illegible at
one period of his Oxford career. At
this time he wrote two letters, one to a
relative, one to a chum with whom he
always discussed the faults of their re?
spective relations, and accidentally put
these letters into the wrong envelopes.
He was about to write a profound
apology to his relative when he re?
ceived the following note from him:
"Can't read a word of your four pages,
but guess you want some money, jrou
young rascal." Inclosed was a hand
some "tip.". ._
