With proper knowledge of what ü best, each hour of recreation, of enjoyment, of contemplation and of effort may be made to contribute to living aright. Then the use of medicines may be dispensed with to advantage, but under ordinary conditions in many instances a simple, wholesome remedy may be invaluable if taken at the proper time and the California Fig Syrup Co. holds that it is alike important to present the subject truthfully and to supply the one perfect laxative to those desiring it.

Two Great Lrader. Disraeli wit was too much for Gladstone. The great Liberal had but one adjective for his Tory opponent, and that was "devilish.- Never during the year3 of their opposing leadership had the two any social relations. Each made light of the other's literary eftorts. Some one asked Lord Beaconsfield to define the difference between a misfortune and a calamity, and unhesitatingly it came. "If Mr. Gladstone should fall Into the Thames, it would he a misfortune. If any one should pull him out, it would be a calamity." The best of all the Gladstone-Disraeli stories tell3 how once at a London dinner party the ladies at the table were a?ked which they would marry if they had to marry one or the other, the great Liberal or the great Tory. All declared promptly in favor of Beaconsfield save one, who hastened to explain that she had rather wed Gladstone that she might elope with Disraeli and so break her husband's heart. Thi3 happening was of course retold to Disraeli, and so pleased was he over it that he suspended a cabinet debate on the( chances of a continental war in order to relate it.

TT CHAPTER V. Rupert Carroll got up to town in very good time. He drove straight to his own club in St. James street, where he deposited his lag and lunched, and then he sallied forth to try and catch his cousin at the Junior CarieWn Club. But he was unfortunate. Lord Xetherville had looked in there for a moment for his letters, but he had just gone, and so-iie missed him by a few minutes only. He got through the time, however, very satisfactorily, for even on a wet Saturday afternoon there is always something that a man who has been for two months in the country can find to do in London. What with his hair-cutter, and his shirtmaker, and a game of billiards with an acquaintance at the club, it was a quarter to five, and time to start to Victoria, almost before he realized that it was so late. He got to the station in excellent time, tossed his bag into a first-class carriage, bought himself some afternoon papers, and then looked about for Lord Xetherville. There was no great crowd on the platform; a large family of children,' going to the sea-side, occupied the central position; a small sprinkling of passengers were quietly taking their places, but he could see nothing of his cousin. A long way down the train, three men, apparently third-class passengers, were standing together in a group they stood with their backs towards him, and close by him at the bock-stall lingered a thin, sallowfaced toy, who was looking apparently at the sensational pictures on the autsides of the yellow-backed novels. The boy was near enough to see him, but not within hearing. Ferhaps for reasons of his own he did not want to come too near. Rupert saw him as one sees things that make no Impression on one's mind one way or the other, but he did not notice him particularly. Presently a man, in respectable dark clothes came up to him and touched his hat to him. "Mr. Carroll, sir?" "Yes, that is my name. "I am Lord Netherville's valet, sir. He has sent me to you with a message." T never saw you before, my man; how in the world did you find me out?" "Not very difficult, sir," the man answered, with a smile. "My lord and you Is as like as two peas. My lord told me I couldn't possibly mistake you no more I could. If you will allow me to say so, it, it's the most extraordinary likeness I ever saw." "So people say. Well, and what have you come to tell me?" "That his lordship is extremely sorry that he 13 unable to go down to Harvington by this train, but he will come by the next the 7:34." "Does he wantme to wait for him?" "No, sir; he most particularly wishes that you should go on by this train and explain to the ladies that he has been unavoidably detained, and that he is exceedingly sorry that he oannot get down in time for dinner. He will dine in town, sir, so that Miss Carroll may not in any way be inconvenienced by the alteration In his arrangements. He hopes to arrive at the house about a quarter before 9 o'clock." "Very well, you c-xn tell him that I am very much disappointed not to travel down with him, but we shall expect him later." The valet touched his hat and walked away down the platform. Meanwhile Billy had left his post of observation at the book-stall. "That's 'im," he said to the Marquis in a whisper, jerking his thumb backward over his shoulder. ' The three men each in turn, one after the other, but casually, not to appear to be watching, turned half round and took stock of the gentleman at the further end of the platform, and then got Into a third-class carriage. It was nearly dusk when Rupert Carroll got out at Harvington. It was past half-past 6 o'clock, and the days were shortening. The rain had ceased, and there was a red glow in the west, where the sun had gono stormily down from under an opening In the heavy clouds. IIi3 sister's" house was but half a mile by the short cut from the station, and the pony carriage her only conveyance was not usually sent to rneet visitors, but the gardener had come up with a barrow to wheel up the luggage. Carroll explained that he was alone, and that Lord Xetherville was coming by the later train. The old man took his bag an umbrella and mackintosh, and started off by the road, which was rather longer than the field path, and Rupert lingered for a few minutes' friendly chat with the old Stationmaster, who had known him as a boy. Meanwhile, three travelers had got out of a third-ciass carriage at the back of the train, and had passed quickly out of the station in front of him. , "Which is the way to the village?" Inquired one of them of a country girl, who was loitering outside the station yard in the hope of attracting the attention of Joe, the porter, with whom she was keeping company. "Over yon stile, and straight on by the path. You can go by the road, if you like but people mostly goes by the field path It 13 shorter." And long before Carroll had left the station the three men had flung thornselves over the stile, and became lost to slpht in the field beyond. Rup-rt came swinging his stick gaily as he sicpiMHl out of the station. For a moment he paused at the stile, as though uncertain whether to take th? field path or the ro;id. If he had t.tk'n. the latter, his whole life would have been altered, and this story wouhi scarcely have been written, but after a bri.f hesitation, he d -citl'd in favor of the short cut. and jumped lightly over the stile.

against the background of blackness as to be perfectly invisible from the path. Two paces carried Carroll just beyond them. "Now then now!" whispered a voice. Then a sudden rush from behind a cry, a struggle half-a-dozen ringing blows. "Scoundrels! let go!" gasped a choked voice that died away into a smothered groan then, nothing more! Only a lifeless body huddled up across the path that in the next moment was quickly dragged down into the darkness of the muddy ditch and presently it lay there quite alone in the silence of the gathering shades of night. CHAPTER VI. Monday morning dawned, brilliant with sunshine and redolent with sweet sounds and scents. The grateful earth sparkled and glittered after the heavy rain, the grass was greener, the flowers fresher, the river rushed in fuller flood on its way. Irene flung open her casement window and thrust her golden head out into the sunshine. "To-day, to-day!" she cried aloud in a rapture of happy love. "And the skies are blue, and the birds are singing, and the air is full of music to welcome him back! Oh, happy, happyday! that brings my darling back to me!" And then she blushed and laughed over her own rhapsodies she recalled to herself that she was not a lovesick wood nymph, but a matter-of-fact and sober-minded British maiden with many household responsibilities upon her mind. Her aunt was going back to town by the 10:15 train. She must see that breakfast was in good time, and the fly duly ordered to convey her to the station. She must gather a bunch of flowers for her to take with her that time-honored custom of country hospitality, by which the departing guest Is speeded on his way. Lady Carland was safely got off the last good-byes were spoken, the last parcel handed into the fly and, with her bunch of flowers in one hand, and waving her adieux out of the window with the other, Aunt Anna was whisked away down the muddy lane, and Irene drew a gasp of relief as she followed her mother bad; into the porch. "She will be in plenty of time for the train." she sa'.d. consulting her watch. Then she added in an abandon of delight as she flung her arms about Mrs. Garland's neck: "Oh, darling mamma! how delightful it is to be together again!" The mother kissed her child fondly. "My child Is all my own still," she thought, led astray by the loving words; "she wants nothing but her mother nobody has come between us yet!" "I think. Irene, as it is so fine we might go over to Wanstead by the 12 o'clock train and lunch with old Mrs. Soames. It is so long since we have been to see the old lady, I feel we have been rather neglectful of her lately." "Oh, not to-day, mamma! not today!" cried Irene, in dismay. Vhy not, my love? I think to-day will do very nicely." "Oh, mamma! no no!" and then she blushed a bright rose red from brow to chin, "pl'.-ase, dear niamhma, not to-day. Sir. Carroll is coming back, and and he said he would be here for lunch." For a moment Mrs. Garland was very silent. A sort of chill had fallen was it the day? or in the air or was it there in the narrow gap betwixt her. own heart and her child's? "Then of course we cannot go to Wanstead that settles it I had better see about the luncheon, a3 he Is coming," and Mrs. Garland moved away towards the door of the passage that led to the kitchen. Irene walked up and down the little square of lawn that lay between the front door of the house and the road behind. She could see rij?h.t down the Ian' from here, the lane that led to the village, ai d to the "fleorge." and along which her lover must come. She was in a fever of Impatience Why did ho not come? Oh, how could he be so cruel and unkind as to ke; p her waiting? Her mother appeared at this moment beneath the archway of roses and hopeysuckle at the side of the house. "Irene, my dear, why do you stop out in the sun with nothing on your head?" "I am looking out for Mr. Carroll. Oh. mamma! do you I'.ilnk anything can have happened to the train?" "Yoti silly child, the train went by an hour ago! I saw t' smoke along the valley when I was up In my bedroom." They waited till 2 o'clock, .and then her mother refused to wa'.t any longer. They sat down together to the pretty flower-adorned table, with that vacant chair standing there in its place. Perhaps even yet it might be Idled! "Tell Ressy to put on her bonnet and run round to the 'George' and see if Mr. Carroll 13 coming to lunch," said Mrs. Garland to the parlor-maid as they sat down. And Irene's heart revived a little at the words. It was better to know than to be left In tortures of suspense, she thought, yet when they had nearly finished the Kimple meal and the little nvtid brought back word from the "George" that Mr. Carroll had not come back, she almost regretted the suspense that had not, at any rate, bereft her entirely of hope. She and her mother went out in the punt in the afternoon; they took their tea and discussed it under the shady willow bank amongst the water lilies, et a spot where she and Rupert had often sat iilnl talked together, and she ixertel hoi si If to be quite happy and bright and cheerful, so thr.t her mothhIio;:I1 rot see the sinilkst dift'erra e in her spirits or manner. She put up her hand once as they j ?.:t there, and too,: hold of the sam j ! o ;h that Ruperf had h Id the last j ;r; 10 r.ues the exact 3 laeo where : fi;r..' l.ad rested, and to recall ! :.: v ! v .1 ar.d the expression of Iiis eyes, i'.i' :-e memories were sweet to her. ; i!(l they served to console her in her r'ita wj.'iiulnient.

She saw him a long way o,'f come trudging f long tho lane. She ran down to meet him at the garden f.ate. Tho old postman was a long time fvtching them out of thi depths r f his canvas 1 ag. They came out of it one after the other. Two for her mothtr, one Cor the cook, a post-card

for Eessy, two newspapers, then at last, one letter for her! She clutched at it eagerly, letting all the others tumble down together on the grass at her feet It was from her cousin, Mrs. Purvis! The postman trudged onwards along i.:; lane. Ressy picked up the fallen letters and papers that lay at her young mistress feet and carried them into the house, and srill Irene stood there, motionless, pale, frozen into stone, gazing blindly at the letter 'n her hand. Presently she turned and went back slowly into the house, and upstairs into her own room. She did not weep or bemoan herself; only she sat quite still for a very long time upon the edge of her bed, stiring blankly and blindly before her, he mind almost as vacant as her eyes. Her cousin's letter, unopened and unheeded, lay upon the floor at her feet. She roused herself after a time, and went about her duties and daily occupations as usual, until night brought a gleam of hope once more, and she began to long again for the next morning's post But the days went by, one after the other, and the old postman came along the lane morning after morning, and brought her no letter from Rupert Carroll. Neither word, nor sign, nor token came from him to whom she had given her heart; sometimes she asked herself whether it was all a dream, whether Carroll had ever existed, ever told her of his love, ever asked her to be his . ife? At night she wept-bitterly, and was often unable to close her eyes until the grey daylight crept through her shutters. Yet ever a sense of loyalty to her promise made her do her utmost to conceal her anguish of mind from her mother's knowledge. (To be continued.)

NEW WOMEN IN COREA. A Movement AVliiel Mean a Great Change In Live of entler Sex. The new-woman movement, which means that a great ?hange i3 to come in the daily life of the Coreans, Is just at its beginning, writes Frank G. Carpenter. I doubt If its members can be numbered by hundreds. There are certainly les3 than a thousand who have j'et attempted to throw off the shackles of the old customs; and the remainder, numbering millions, are in the same condition that the sex has held for many generat'ons. The customs vary according to the class to which the girl belongs. Corea ha3 a nobility, a middle class, common people and slaves. All of the rich families own hereditary slaves, and the daughter of a slave is a slave girl in turn. This movement mean3 that there p.re to come changes in all matters of love and marriage. Already the Christian girls, of whom there are many, are demanding that they be married in the church after our ceremony, or as near that as Corean Ideals will permit. Today the million-odd maril.iges which take place yearly are as barbarous a3 those of darkest Africa. Children are often betrothed at birth, and a 7-year-old girl may be married to a man of 20, or a boy of 9 to a girl of 19. As a rule, the marriage takes place before the children have reached tho age of pupils of the first class in the high schools, and a girl 13 an old maid at 13 or 20. Among the queer wedding customs I3 the gluing the bride's eyes shut, so that she can see nothing, and keeping them so for two or three days. Another Is that the bride will not speak to the groom for at least a week after the weddli.g, and a third that a fight takes place' between her friends and his on the way to the ceremony, and the one represented by the party defeated is considered unlucky. Neither bride nor groom sees each other until they are married. After that the girl Is practically the slave of her husband and his parents, who may treat her as they please. As she grows older, or when her husband Is tired of her, he brings one or rsore secondary wives Into the house and she has to submit. Dlvorr?3 are easy on the part of the husband, but they are considered disreputable, and domestic troubles usually result In adding a concubine or so to the establishment rather than shoving the old wife out into the cold. I.nkr 3Ilelilmr Sand Dane. Shifting sand dunes are causing trouble on the borders of Lake Michigan. The dunes are formed by the on shore winds, which sweep the beach sand beyond the reach cf the waves. The sand accumulates In low mcund3 about any obstructions, such as stones or bushes; thus started the Inno Is sufficient cause for Its own growth. The wind keeps piling th sand up from behind, the dune grows and the sand on Us crest is blown over to the leeward side of the mound, so thnt the dunes gradually march hi'aml. On the east side of Rake Michigan the dry west winds have heaped up numbers of dunes, ranging In height up to 290 feet. In Indiana the dunes have moved inland across a forested area, burying and killing trees, leaving th dead trunks a3 skeletons behind them in their march onward. A famous Instance of dune migration is that of the Kurische Nehrung,- a long sand bar off the coast of Germany, where a dune ridge marched over a church, burying It for thirty years, at the end or which time It was gradually uncorered by the progress of the dune.

Of Those Who AValk Alone. Women there are on earth, most sweet and high. Who lose their own, and walk bereft and lonely, Loving that one lost heart until they die Loving It only. And so they never see beside them grow Children, whose coming Is like breath of flowers; Consoled by subtler loves the angels know Through childless hours. Good deeds they do; they comfort and they bless In duties others put off till the morrow; Their look is balm, their touch Is tenderness To all sorrow. Betimes the world smiles at them, as 'twere shame. This maiden guise, long after youth's departed; But In God's Book they bear another name "The faithful-hearted." Faithful in life, and faithful unto death, Such souls, in sooth, illume with luster, splendid That glimpsed, glad land wherein, the Vision saith, Earth's wrongs are ended. Richard Burton in "The Book of Life." Close hats of shirred velvet, moire, satin and lace am very popular with the younger followers of fashion. The brim rolls high, either at the back, front, left or right side, and the trimming is piled high. A touch of softness 13 lnt this otherwise severe hat, by the addition of an algret or soma kind of soft fluffy feather. To Pat on a Corset. Much depends on the way in which a corset is put on. The following hints may be useful: Fasten the abdominal hooks first, lifting the body, with a long breath, at the same time and holding the head well back. After the top of the front is hooked draw the looped laces from the eyelets slightly below the waist, pulling the bottom of the corset much tighter than the top. Through this simple means healthy breathing i3 permitted, for bodices are so loose that it is only at the waist and hips the figure needs to be held taut. To Keep Dunn IVeljrht. It Is the fad of women who fear flesh to walk or stand for twenty minutes or so after eating and many affirm that It really keeps down the weight. On that, principle thin women should rest after meals and at other times during the day. Diluted cream is said to be a better flesh former than milk and does not disagree with the bilious temperament. I -'or Ilnm unci Street.

A Inlck Fire. When the gas or oil stove Is not to be used a very easy way to have a quick fire for betting water or getting lunch at a moment's notice Is to tear newspapers in quarters without unfolding. Twist these rather tight and lay them in the grate as you would kindlings, quite close together, then light one end. This is equal to a wood tire and saves any amount of money spent on the latter.

which occasionally are thrown with too much vehemence to be pleasant, some brides go In for substituting the tiniest ladies' slippers as well as horseshoes made entirely of soft silver papers.

The Gentlewoman. f&ds aiici fancier Smoother zibeline and camel's hair are the Ideal materials for a somewhat dressy type of tailored suite. For smart traveling wraps soft black taffeta chiffon Is being used, often lined with delicately colored silk or crepe de chine. Watered eilks are the novelty both for day and evening gowns in various shades, gray, prune and leather tints being highly favored. The three-cornered hat for fall wear is a good street hat shape, and can be filled out with the season's trimmings in a becoming manner Muffs will be worn this season In the evening. Of course they will not be like the ordinary winter muffs; they will be huge creations of chiffon, lace and ribbon, very light and flimsy. Bands of fur appear on house dresses. The bands pass over the shoulders, meet at the waist line and fall to the edge of the skirt A narrow fur band encircles the yoke line. Corded materials are much In vogue. In silks and wools and combinations they lead at the present time. The cord may be anything from a faint narrow line to a broad, well-defined whipcord. On many of the long sealskin coats big black jot buttons appear, but the criticism i3 heard that they are not nearly so artistic or effective as buttons of dull black passementerie, silk thread or fine braid. The London preference for tailored suit materials includes camel's-hair cloth, coarse diagonal tweeds and serges, but for dreasy wear suedefaced cloths and fine diagonal serges will be much in evidence. Bongaline hats with lower portions finished in velvet are most effective when the plumes match the velvet, if not the silk. Bengallnes of every description, In wide and narrow stripes, are used for the very smartest creations. A fashion hint from Paris says that trimmings will be used lavishly. The list includes ribbon in abundance, beads, velvet in every possible form, fur, stiff, old-fashioned niching, lace and some embroidery and braid, but no buttons. Crepes of every variety of crinkllness, from those that resemble yepe de chine, to some as rough as the heaviest mourning crepe, come in an Infinite number of good colors, and are destined to be favorites for dress materials during the winter. An attractive and rather uncommon scarf seen lately was entirely formed of Irish crochet, the ends and border of the heavier guipure, the body of the scarf itself of fine bebe crochet.

Rub the warm bran into the fur again and again until every spot has been gone over several times. When the bran becomes soiled throw it away and replace it. When the furs are clean, brush them well until every paitlclo of the bran has been removed. Hang out of doors for a day or two. ai d the fur will be soft, fluffy and full of life.

life than manners that win friends and keep them. A pleasant "good morning" costs nothing, yet it is as rare In many families as if manners were of radium scarcity. Some people's manners are like bats they only come out at night. To be courteous in the morning may oil the household machinery for the day. Surface manners are not the most desirable, but are much better than none. Like painting the outside of an old house, they at least please the casual beholder. The true good manners are a matter of the heart. They carry a friendly smile for all, a kindly Interest In the small affairs of others that great breeder of patience and a courtesy that is not limited by feelings or favor. Many women let down their manners through indifference; they are self-absorbed and forget the rights of others. These are the women who would be horrified to know their reputation for rudeness. There is less conscious rudeness than most of us credit. Occasionally the snob appears who thinks position is shown by snubs; more often our lapses in politeness are due to over-' work, worry, hurry or ill health. There is a rudeness that springt forth from absent-mindedness. Oddly enough this lack of manners is mora openly resented than most, though th offender is generally gentle at heart and would never wound Intentionally. Whatever the cause, mind your manners. It will pay you a big interest In good-will. New "Wrapped llalrdreaaf n. Not only is the pompadour out of style, but in direct contrast, the hair 13 now banded as flatly as possible around the bead.

It must not be too tight nor too loose' and should be screwed up or down, as the case may be, with , care. Use a fold of the material you are working on, instead of a hem or seam, to experiment with. Thread the machine with silk or thread appropriate to the gown you are making. Shorten or lengthen your stitch as desired; if it draws, the .tension should be made loose. Sometimes It is the upper and sometimes the lower thread that pullB. Find out which before attempting to adjust the tension. A loosely sewed seam is more serviceable than one too tightly sewn, as the latter will' snap and tear at the slightest provocation. In sewing silk goods all seams require the loosest possible tension. This is also true in sewing chiffons and thin goods. Seams on which there is a strain will give more if sewn loosely. 1 Electric Dressmaking.
