BENEATH TIIE EOFGE

A woman sat at her dressing table, in front of the* mirror, and dabbed cheeks that were livid with patches to pink color. Her maid folded and put away some drapery that had been flung down •en tho bed and watched her mistress furtively. Down stairs thero were preparations for big party, and the daylight fifcong on the silver and orchids on the tSinner table, much as it shone on tho f::eo of the master of tlio house, with the odd puoiror of discontent between Ins brows, ready and waiting in the pretty drawing room. It shone on thoo •obstinate blotches c,f color, which had to bo rei:rv,\'d so often, older to hide tho vrii'f's ashen rs.

There was one child of her first marriage left in its father's care, and hi: Sit tie girl of ten summers was lying L'«igrrouf5ly ill. The glass reflected eyes ibat were stained and wild. She penciled a black line under the lower lid, arid she thought as she did so: "They ought at least to let mo see ix-r. To bo turned away from the house •feus creel, but Charles was always hard. He? ivill never forgive, and then that itfther woman will be bending over her tied, will listen to her poor little weak -•vettee, will nurse her and will make auvich of her, will take my place."

Sii« door opened to admit a guest. T.ucrc wan a young guardsman with 8. fair face who thought Mrs. Marston •JS. ''cjurirl fi'.'ti" and flirted with her des3».'tK{y.:Jy in an elementary fashion. lYk'.ro was a society doctor, with a p&su'ible manner, gray hairs and keen jKH'jtTj'iuent of tho sympathy and interiMst of pretty women. lie sat next a stout jSsdy with a contented smile and placid titoo eyos. Sho was Mrs. Marston's best •Sri5sii and a little deaf. Most of tho •wmeii were fast, and most of the men HFWB horsy, and they all agreed at dinjjara- tJiiit they had never .seen their hostess looking so well. "W« shall meet at ITurlingham toajwrsriww," whispered the guardsman.

Mv was a uico boy, and ho defended JBwsotir.y Marston when her own sex reJicr. •Kho thought, "To Hnrlingham and 3Pjsisy perhaps dying. Aloud she said: ^'.ll come. I can drive you down, if you

Yon had better lunch here first." •"'Charmed, of courso, he murmured. The man on her right asked her if she •won money on the Derby. She acied she heard her maid's voice in dfep If-xll. and she wondered if shohad reitiKzied with any news as she answered: *'I made a little. Lewis was horribly mfimcky. Ho insisted on backing aomo mmfiAj outsider." i»he laughed, sipped her chamand glanced at an old admiror,

half way down the table. A timid little woman at the other end caught the look and hated her for it. The recipient wan the girl's husband. "And now tell me some delightfully naughty scandal, Mrs. Marston said to the horsy man. "Tho latest and best you know.'' "Mrs Graham':" "Oh, she's an old story." "Give you my honor—new edition"— "Really! Goon." "Warn"! oil- the bookstalls" "Well, I'm not a bookstall."

As ho paused she thought: "Marie can't have found Sir John. I wonder if they havo a good nurse. They miaht have let me see her just for ono moment. Children rarely take to a stepmother, but Daisy used to love every one." "So Mrs. Graham has even overstepped the bounds of modernity," she said aloud. "Taken the barrier in one stride. "Bravo, I am always grateful to a woman who gives mo something notorious to talk about."

And she thought: "I wonder if she suffers much. I wonder if she is conscious. Thej* said, 'No better.' Could that mean she was worse? How all theso people would chatter and whisper if they knew the situation tonight! Not one of them would be sorry—yes. Hilda would, poor, frightened, little woman, because hex baby died, although I do flirt with her husband. And my baby— 0 God, how happy I was over Daisy! and now—it's my own fault for leaving her, but how could I know slio was going to be ill?"

The room, with its brilliant lights, its sound ot voices and its laughter, tadod from sight. In imagination she was carried far away to the little bedroom next the nuisery in tho old house. She bent over 1 la1sy, who slept and dreamed of ir.anima—'.he r.l mamma, not her new on!—and she said to tho cold, stern laces around her: "Have pity lot me kiss 1.- :ice. I won't disturb her. 1 won't wake her. rerhsips they might consent and let nor creep away, having seen her ba!\v and kissed her, as in tho old happy days.

Shehcaid tho guardsman ask her a question and replied at random: "Yes, I am going to act as a Greek goddess. It's a queer kind of play, but one can do anything nowadays, and Lady Lane !«eted in it, so that makes the whole thing so eminently respectable. Sho died or dullness, poor old dowd. Her husband's a nice boy—ho got me into tho show.''

She stretched out her hand and pulled an orchid to pieces, and the room faded from sight again.

Sho stood near tho little bed. Daisy was awake and knew her. They weren't angry they wore kind they let her hold her close, let her stay to nurse her, let her soothe her only as a mother, even tho most degraded, can. Charles forgave for tho baby's sake and let her stay just till she got well. .: She pulled herself together and rose to leave the room. In all her dreams she never saw a sad picture, save that it was sad to see tho child suffer. Of courso sho was certain to get well.

As tho footman banded her the coffee when up stairs she asked carelessly: "Has Marie returned?" "An hour ago, mum," ho said.

Sho started. "With no letter for me?'' "No, muni. She said not. "All right. Mrs. Barker has changed her mind and will take somo milk. Hand it to her, plca«e.

So sho couldn't iiear that night. Tho notion made her reckless. Her fair, placid friend shouted some gossip in her ears as is tho manner of deaf people. Thegontlenien joined them, and a singer sat down at tho piano. The song over, amid loud applause a footman opened tho door to admit a gentleman. lie had asked to see Mr. Marston alone, but tho man had blundered, misunderstood him and announced him as ono of the oven-

She smiled faintly tho color in her cheeks did not vary, nor were her eyes dim, but her lips, for somo strango roasou, had turned blue, and her voioo when she answered had a ghastly sound: "IIow funny you are, dear! 'What a triumph,' did you say? 'What a triumph tonight has been!'

They took leavo of her one by ono and left her thero faco to face with her triumph alono.—Sketch.

Tli« Telephone In Korea.

In his work, "Korea," Mr. Henry Savago Lander tolls a talo of tho telephono. Somo months beforo ho arrived in Seoul a foreigner had visitod tho king, soliciting orders for installations of telephones. The king, being much astonished and pleased at the wonderful invention, immediately, at great expense, set about connecting by telephone tho tomb of tho queen dowager with the royal palace. Many hours a day woro afterward spent, by his majesty and his suit in listening at their end of the telephone, and a watchman was kept all night in case tho queen dowager should wake up from her eternal sleep. But not a message, or a sound, or a murmur, even, was heard. Tho king was disgusted, and the telephone was condemned as a fraud by his majesty of Cho sen.

The painted, noisy wife of his old

friend rose to greet linn, and she knew why he was thero as well as if he had spoken. lie murmured some excuse and drew her husband out of the room. I

REV. MADISON C. PETERS DIFFERS

WITH PHILOSOPHERS.

Does Not li^licve That All Truo and Hon

est Men Arc Dead—A Few Tlomarlvs on

Swindling Monopolies—Advises Young 31 en to Remain In the Country.

Three thousand years ago the Prophet Jeremiah said. "Run ye to and fro through tho streets of Jerusalem, pnd see now and know and seek in the broad places thereof if ye can find a man." But Jeremiah was "tho weeping prophet. Philosophers in all ages have complained that human creatures are plentiful, but men aro scarce. But philosophers made their ideal too high, their conception of what man ought to be too lofty. I have no sympathy with the cynic of whom history inlorms us that, being ordered to summon the good men of tho city before the lioman censor, proceeded immediately to tho graveyard, called to the dead below, saying ho knew not where to find a good man alive, or that gloomy sago, that prince of grumblers, Thomas Carlyle, who described the population of his country as consisting of so many millions, "mostly fools, and who could speak in praise of no one but himself and Mrs. Carlylo, tho latter deserving all tho praiso sho got for enduring him so long. When any ono complains, as the famous Diogenes did, that he has to limit the streets with candles at noonday to find an honest man, we aro apt to think that his nearest neighbor would have quite as much difficulty as himself in making tho discovery. If yon think thero is not a true man living, you had better, for appearance, put olf saying it until you are dead yourself.

Whilt lieligion Is Not.

I Religion is not churchgoing. It is not going to a particular church it is not singing out of a particular hymnbook it is not being orthodox and going among men as ortiiodox and sending the people to perdition who do not believe as 3*ou do. Instead of making more noise in the world about our orthodoxy than the Master over did, and elaborate and ostentatious prayers, as to bo troublesome to our neighbor, let us fear God and do righteousness from Sunday to

Sunday, and from Monday to Monday. Ho is the truo believer who is tho subject of high and divine inspirations, so deep and profound that ho cannot utter them and not he who is loaded and clogged with the men theories of dead men on tho subject, that leavo no scope for any tiling else. 'Tis not the wise phylactery, -swats

Jfor stubborn taste, nor staled prayer, That makes us saints. We jud{ E\ what it IJI urs.

Swindling Monopolies.

By a monopoly I mean rich men buying up all competitors and crushing them out of existence—getting control of some commodity, crushing out all fair competition, which is the life of trade, and dictating the price. Any set of men who, by any combination or action, compel us to pay more than tho nominal prices for what wo eat and drink and wear are, guilty of highway robbery. The swindling of these wholesale robbers is called percentage their wrong heartodness, long headedness their duplicity, shrewdness.

your comfortable homo or place in tho country. The chances an?, if you come to the city, you will wish yourself back again in tho country before tho year is over. It is hard for tho country boy to do well in the city now, as our cities are overcrowded. Tho greatest slave on earth is tho averages city clerk. With proper earo and efiort, country life, can be made, as enjoyable and profitable as city life. Spend in the country towns and villages the same amount for concerts, lectures, etc., that you would if you earns to tho city, and you will havo almost equal advantages. h'armors should settle in colonies. Let them live in villages.

C:ids.

A man said to his wife, "Double up your whip."' Ho meant keep your tongue quiet. It must be a terrible thing to bo living with a whip that is always lashing j'ou. A blind man, having a shrew tor a wife, was told by ono of his friends that sho was a rose. Ho replied, "1 do not doubt it, sir, for I feel the thorns daily." Thero is nothing grander than a bright and contented disposition.

I.iving Christians Needed.

The groat want of the present age is not so much arguments sustaining Christianity as living Christians illustrating and oxempliiying it. Thero is a plenty of sounding brass, and tinkling cymbals are not hard to find. Thero is hypocrisy enough in tho world, and there is no need that Christians should increase it by empty talk and vain profession. They best answer tho power of Christ's gospel who in thejj lives exemplify and demonstrate it. Conduct is tho great profession. What a man doos tells us what ho is. A covetous professor, a quarreling church, a ronegado preacher, a dishonest and tricky church official, a corrupt religious corporation, a praying defaulter, a sanctimonious robber of widows and orphans, doos more to make men infidels and keep them away from tho church than the most blatant barroom talker or tho most polished infidel lecturer. The translation of tho Bible most needed today is its translation into flesh and blood, into tho daily walk, works and words of mon, and tho world will not bo able to resist tho evidenco of the divine mission of our Lord. Lot tho light of tho knowledge of tho glory of God blaze out in the liv«s of his children, and an astonished world will mark tho cbango and seek in somo way to account for a revelation so wonderful, so transforming. MADISON C. PETEKS.

NEW VENTILATING DEVICE.

An Inventor Claims It Will Purify the Air In the Foulest Room.

Disease germs, which tho insanitary conditions of buildings foster and multiply by countless millions, need no longer bo feared if the claims of a Chicago inventor prove true. Tho invention is patented and is described as a simplo device for removing foul air and gases from houses, basements, mines or tho holds of vessels, winch the inventor says will revolutionize the sanitary and ventilating systems of the world. The admirable features of the device aro its simplicity and the absolute inexpensiveness of its operation. Applied to a basement or a house there is no need of an exhaust fan to bo operated by steam or eleotric power. By utilizing* natural laws this device is self acting day and night in all seasons of tho year. "Tho device, so far as it pertains to tho method," says the inventor, "depends upon a novel application of a natural law which, so far as I am aware, has never been utilized practically before. This natural law is that fluids, when not under pressure or otherwise impelled, move from the locality of a higher to that of a lower temperature, or, stated more briefly, that air or tiny other free fluid will move from ono point to another when there is a variation of temperature at- the two points. That is observed in the natural phenomena of windstorms or cyclones. Tho difference temperatr.ro between tho •sunny side of a house and the shady side will produce an air current suftieient to operate my appliance and rid the entire house of all impure air and foul gases without the aid of any mechanical power. Thus, you see, alter the first, cost of putting in v-he ventilation, which is very small, there is absolutely no further cost for operation. "I am particularly anrcious to havo apparatus tested tho public schools. So confident am I that it will purity the air in the foulest room witliout exposing tho children to a draft that 1 am willing to put it in ono or two of the worst ventilated schoolrooms at mv own expense, simply to prove its efficacy. I can put it into the foulest tenement house in the city, and the sickening odors will be removed in a few minutes, leavinir the air pure and sweet. Even the odors from garlic and onions will be carried out of the kitchen whor^ they are cooking. Of course theso claims seem preposterous, but I have tested the apparatus thoroughly at my own house."

HOW A WESTERN TOWN GREW.

With the Development of Resources Came Wealth and I'rosperity.

I Ten years ago if aii3" ono had prophI esied that the shanty mining town in southern Colorado called Durango I would today bo the state's southern metropolis and a center of culture he would havo justly been laughed at. At that time Durango was the very center of the deadly cattle feuds between tho outlaw Eldridgo band and the cattlo raisers in northern New Mexico. Fo

business man went out into tho streets without his gun, nor did ho do business unless that same gun was back of the counter or OM his desk. But history once more repeated itself in the case of Durango, and a vnrilanee committee utilized several inviting limbs of a huge pine treo standing in tho center of its main street, and a few of the outlaw band were sent somewhere in space. Then the shanty town girded itselt for a true western hustle. How it. succeeded in ten years is illustrated simply by the fact that today the trolley cars run over the ground where the old pine tree stood.

The period from 1 -S7• 1- to 1N81 marked that primitive growth and development common to tho birth of all western towns. The description of tho Durango of today, with its water supplies, its vast coal deposits, its smelters, ore bodies, railroads and everything essential to an individualized 'Mumping" western city, would take a guidebook.

The heaviest item of expenditure either on the part of local treasuries or out of tho funds of tho state is fur the support of the common schools. Tho first and mo. important end tained by tins expenditure is or should bo to give every child in the state the advantage of a sound rudiniontary training. The pupil ought to bo taught to read intelligibly, to write legibly, to understand arithmetic and to havo a tvnoral knowledge of geography. It will astonish any person who will take the troublo to make an investigation to seo how few of the graduates of even the higher grades in tho common schools can read, write, spell and cipher with any degree of facility or accuracy.
