Lathrop could not understand why an
other- woman refused to leave nw home. It wa evident that she wanted to have the eare which Mrs. tiathrop could give ber, but she could not be persuaded to leave. The truth came out finally. A brother, who had been noticed around the little tenement, had spinal trouble and had to be supported. If the woman left home her husband would not support him. So the woman, in her own sickness and misery, refused to be aided at the expense of her brother. Other women have children and perhaps drunken husbands a miserable home, but it Is a home, the children are there, and if they nre once put Into institutions it Is doubtful if they can ever be brought together again.

A NATION OF DYSPEPTICS.
From fho Mountaineer. Walhalla. N. Dakota. The remorse of a guilty stomach is What a large majority of the people are suffering with to-day. Dyspepsia is a characteristic American disease, and it is frequently stated that "we are a nation of dyspeptics." Improper food, harried1 eating, mental worry, exhnnstir-n; any of these produces a lack of vltnlity in the system, by causing the blood to lose its life-snslnin-ins element. The Wood is tlie vit.il element in our lives, nnd should be rnrefully nurtured. Restore the blood to its proper condition nnd dyspepsia will vnnisli. For cxnmple, in the comity of Pembina, North Dakota, a few miles from Walhalla, resides Mr. Earnest Snider, a man of sterling integrity, whose veracity cannot be doubted. He says:

A MATTER OF SUPPORT.
Tlie Two Men Did Not Mean tbe Pnrao
Way.
The young fellow, with a lraslness
which was netting him about $4,500 a
year and growing slowly bnt surely arrived in Washington one day from the
thriving town of Chicago, and at once proceeded to the northwest part of the city, where a very charming young lady lives with her father and several other members of her family, all very nice
people and extremely well-to-do, and
all of them very friendly to the young
man, except the father, who Is one ol those fathers all of ns know about, who always seem to have got into the fam
ily by mistake. The old man is ambitious socially, and would rather his daughter would marry a diplomat on a week than the sharpest young busi
ness man in ten StKtes. It is rather remarkable that such men remain Ameri
can citizens, but they do. About two
hours after the young chap hnd gone into Joint conference witli the young lady ho begged to be excused, and carefully proceeded into the library to have a talk with papa.
Being somewhat of a hustler it was
not a great while before the caller
stated his case fully, notwithstanding
he had not been cheered on by an ad
miring father.
"Can you support my daughter, sir,
the older man said with pompous dignity, "in the manner to which she has been accustomed?"
"I do not recognize your authority to
ask me that question," replied the young man stiffly, and the older one
nearly tumbled over.
"What do you mean, sir? he in
quired, jumping up.
"Just what I say. I will never be
called on to support your daughter. She will be my wife, and if I don't support
my wife in a manner to which she lias been accustomed It will be her privi
lege to object. She has not been ac
customed to anything as my wife, but that Is no sign she won't lie, nnd nil you need to do Is to give us a chance."
It almost floored the father by Its
novelty, but the argument won, and

In his folly, carried the matter so rar that the cloud of blossoms he ord' rt -i shaken down over one of his banquets actually suffocated some of his friends.
The Romans, during their meals, reclined on cushions stuffed with rose leaves, or made a couch of the leaves
themselves. The floor, too. was strewn
with the lovely blossoms. Cleopj.ira, at
an enormous expense, procured roses
for a feast which she prepared for Antony. They were laid two cubits thick on the floor of the banqnet-room and
nets were then spread over the fragrant bed to give an elastic footing. Glasgow Mail.

stretched out his hand eagerly. "One moment, Herbert! There are one or two things to tell first." Itapiilly. .vet with a prudence which was almost inspiration, she told of the curious mesmeric power which Kgerton had gained over her sister, of her dread that Callander might lie suspicious, of Mabel's confession of her nnhappines8 and fear of Kgerton's violence should she show aftVctioa to her husband. "Then she determined to end this wretched, contemptible state of things, and wrote this, which I was to give to him, but I never had a chance, for she died dreadfully a few days after." She took the note from Its outer cover, and gave it to Callander. He took it and looked curiously at the address with dilated, horror-struck eyes. His hands trembled while he tore it open. She watched him eagerly as he read the contents, every word of which was engraven on her memory all fear, all personal feeling, lost in the intense desire to clear the two creatures she loved best from the terrible accusation In which
Callander believed. "I cannot liear my life," so ran the letter, "if you continue to exercise the extraordinary power I have let you gain over me. I told yon this before in the last lines I wrote. Now I will break my fetters, and dare to act as my heart and conscience dictate. My husband loves me: in spite of all yon say, 1 believe be loves me, and I really love him. I only fear you, Randal, and 1 cannot understand how yon gained the power over me which you have. I am determined to resist it If you ever eared for me. If you have any principle, any sense of honor, leave me to regain peace and happiness. You can never persuade me to leave my dear, good hosband. I shudder to think I ever listened to yon for a moment. Show that you have some real regard for me by going far away, and earn the gratitude of
M. C." Callander's chest heaved. He drew his breath In gasps. When.be came to the end he looked np with wild, angry eyes, and crushing the paper la his hand, said, In fierce, quick tones: "Egerton was your lover he wanted to marry, you?" "He pretended it!" Callander dropped Into a chair as if shot, sitting upright, motionless, like a creature turned to stone. Dorothy was terrified at the effect of her confession. What should she do? "Oh, Herbert! speak to me." He started at her as if not understanding what she sakl, and covered his face
with his hands, leaning forward until ins brow almost touched his knees. Then he stood up, began smoothing out the letter, and kissed it. "She loved me," he said brokenly "she loved me still. I cannot speak to yon, my poor child. I must go. I dare not speak. To-morrow to-mor
row!" He staggered toward the door. "Oh, Herbert! Let me call Collins to go with you; you are not fit to be alone, dear Herbert." He made a motion of refusal with his hand. "At least you see that Paul Stnndish is not to blame." "I have wronged him, but I will write. Let me go! For heaven's sake, let me

I did so hope to keep nil a secret, for my nnnr (la rime's sake. Will he attack Dan-
dal Egerton legally, and blazon out the
whole dreadful story? I must oec i-ani, nnd he will be out now. It Is nearly nine

"Dear Nurse, the Colonel has just rushed out of the house, lo such a state ot excitement that I am frightened to death."
"What's put him out?" asked Mrs. Mc-
Tlnch. rising.
"We were talking of of the past, and he spoke of Mabel, almost for the first time since we lost her, and got into a state of despair! I have sent Collins to try and find him. Now I want to see Mr. Standish. Oh, Nurse, I must see him at once; I am going to him. Will you get a
cab for me? I must go."
"Stay a bit. Miss Dorothy, It's just a

she spoke. "I'll bring him back if he is to

A short anneal to Btandisn to come to
her early next day, at eight if be liked, was quickly penned, and then there was
nothing for it but to wait.
Nothing but to wniti wnat a tern
ble task, to be still and helpless while others are casting the shuttle of yonr life
through the threads of inexorable circumstance.
How slowly the minutes went by! She
sat watching the hands of the clock on the mantelpiece. Did time ever drive so slowly ? At last steps approached, the door opened and Mrs. Mcllugh appeared, a little
breathless. "Weil, I've been pretty quick, haven't I? But I am vexed lie was out. He had gone down to some place down the Great Northern line, nnd won't be home till tomorrow evening." Dorothy uttered n faint cry nnd sank Into a chair. "Don't take on so, my dear! I just got his address and sent on yonr note."
"Thank you, Nurse! but he will not get It rtll mid-dav in the country. I roust
telesraidi the first thing in the morning
that Is all I can do." "I suppose so! Write the telegram then, Miss Dorothy. I'll see it goes ns soon as the office Is open. Hasn't Colllua come back?" Dorothy shook her head. 'iDear, dear, that's bad." "Yea, very bad, I fear." "111 go down and watch for him, and send Peggy up. It's tiuio she went to bed." "I think I will go ai.d wait for him In the drawing room," said Dorothy, faintly. "I do hope he will come in before
Henrietta." This seemed a little strange to Nurse, but she made no remark uku it. Dorothy went to get a telegraph for,
and wrote an entreaty to Standish to return at mice. "Don't go to iH'd till I come and tell you what news Collins brings," she said to Mrs. MeHugh. "You may be sure I will not." Then she went away to "wait" again. This time she was not long left alone a little before eleven Miss Oiikelcy returned. "Why, where in the world is Collins r were her first words, "and, Dorothy, what is the matter with you? You look ghast
ly!" Dorothy gave the same explanation she had offered to Nurse. "What n dreadful business! My dear child, he is as likely to throw himself into the river as to go to .his hotel! What In the world did you say to bim to drive him into such a state?" "Oh! it was talking and thinking of the past that upset him. Heurietta, you terrify me." "I am afraid you were not very prudent, but don't tremble so. I did not mean to frighten you. You had better go to bed, you poor little soul."
"Ah, no, Henrietta, not tin i see vilins." "I will go and put on my dressing gown I wonder when that man will come back." Dorothy sat with her head on her hand, her lips moving in silent prayer; she had stirred and rlfn up to seek Henrietta, unable to endure tbe solitude, when, to her relief, Oollius presented himself. A glance at his face showed her that he had no evil tidings. "I've had a rare hunt. Miss Dorothy,"
were his first words. "When I got out
of the door " "Oh. ffood gracious. Collins. Is he safe?'
cried Miss Oakeley. coming in as he
suoke.
"Yes'm, he's all right. I was a-sayin',
as I got out of the door I felt 1 was torlate. I couldn't see a sign of him. May be he's gone to Kensington Gardens,
thinks I, so I went there ns fast as my
lees could carry me, but as 1 saw notn-
ing on the way a bit like him, I thought
there'll be no end of looking for nun under those dark trees, so I returned the other way towards town and got to the hotel. No sign of him! So I went back and up and down, and to and fro, nil to no good. At last I went to the hotel once more, nnd there he was all right, Just come In, and the waiter was going to take him a brandy-awl-soda so I made bold to go up, and ask if he had any commands for ine to-morrow. He was lying back, dead heat like, In his chair, nnd as the man picked up his boots to take them away, I saw there was some mould and grass sticking to the soles. He didn't take much notice of me, but presently he rose up and bid me give him his dressing gown, and as I helped him off with his coat I saw that the back and one side
was all marked with grass and mould, as
If he had lain on the ground, yet he didn't look as if he had had a fit." "A fit! What n notion, Collins!" cried Miss Oakeley. "Did be say he would go to bed?" "He didn't say nothing, ma'am, except when I asked, he said I might come round in the morning, and I'm going curly
and, If you please, I met Mr, Dillon coming out, and he had been down at Pordses. He heard something as took him there, nnd he saw the colonel once or twice. He says, miss, as the colonel would kill himself It he were let go on the way he did. He used to go out bathing in this sharp, cold weather! out iu a boat, so far as I cau make out, with the
old boatman as used to row Sirs. Mc
llugh and the children last summer sometimes he went with him and sometimes without; but he was always saying it was hot, and how it set him up to have a diji."

So do I. In fact, he must come back;

glad to see him."
But. Henrietta: began uorotny nesi-
tatiuulv. nnd nerving herself to secure a
tete-a-tete with Standish, which she felt
to be Indispensable, "I hope yon will not think me unfriendly or unkind, but I must see Paul alone." "Good gracious! Why?"
"Because I must tell him some things oh. some things that Herbert said to me
about Paul In confidence, which I hope
will make them friends again!
"And don't yon suppose they would both

"Oh, very likely! only for the present I want to say my say to PbuI Standish alone. Yon know I have been accustomed

"6h, very well! but of course he will pass it nil on to me. I suppose he cannot be hero much before two! I'll go over and lunch with my aunt, who does
not seem to get over her cold; and no doubt when I return, you will tell me everything." "Perhaps so," said Dorothy, anxious to escape from the subject; but above all, desirous to secure a private interview with Stnndish. Still quivering with the strain and terror of the last three hours, tbe question which Inst occupied her thoughts, above even her deep anxiety about her unhappy brother-in-law, wns: "Can Paul Standish really confide every thought of his heart to Henrietta? Kind ond (rue ns she is,

The application of tbe term gargoyle to these contrivances Is said to be due to the dragon-like character that was at first given to them, coupled with the fact that there wns a particular dragon known by that name that kept the district around Rouen in trepidation. Directly these fantnstlc spouts came into use they were treated as works of art, In so far as two were never made alike. Those who have studied the subject
