The Boots have a beautiful home about a mile north of this city and have to all ^.Mi'a^ces been Tiding happily uut'l a ~ho51 tine ago. Our readers will remember th.it a fo«r v'-ks ago Mrs. Boots^ w't'-'cul. auy spp^arent cause left her home and refused to longer with her husband. The breach was finally patched up and for a short lime they lived together. But it was not ior long. Mrs. Boots is a strong believer in spiritualism, and held many seances at her home. It was during one of these meetings that she got acquainted with one Horace Comey, a spiritualist, p^inler, well digger, etc, who at onco made himself very agreeable io Mrs. Boots. The acquaintance quickly npeiu-ii into f'.ieudship and the evidence during me trial showed that on uiy 4, tbov wer* caught in a very compromising pt sii ion by a relative ot M'V3. Boots.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

By local aopliottiois as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only oue way to cur9 deafnr-s, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of Eustachian tube. When this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is the result, and unless the infiamation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh which is nothing but an inilamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

We will give one hundred dollars for any case of deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free.

A TASTE OF BLOOD.

It was in the Boer war of 18T9. I was sent with a dispatch from Newcastle, on the Natal border, to Standerton, aud lmd to ride through a country occupied by the enemy. We knew from experience that the Boers had parties out on all the roads to intercept messengers, but as I was pretty well acquainted with thoso parts and had a good horse I hoped to slip through, without boinpr noticed, by a cross country route. I had got over more than half my journey when, just about dusk, I saw a solitary Boer riding in the distance. He disappeared almost immediately in a fold in the ground, and so, hoping that he had not in that brief moment discovered me, I stood whera I was, behind a clump of rocks.

My horse and I were both in need of rest, so as darkness? came on I moved down into a grass grown donga below the rocks, where the horse could graze aud whence I could see any one approaching by his being, defined against the sky line. I had had the misfortune during the day to lose one of my saddlebags, thanks to a rotten strap, and found myself in consequence without food and without anymore ammunition than the cartridge in my carbine and two spare ones in my pocket, aud so, for more reasons than one, I looked forward to getting soon to my journey's end.

As the moon rose behind the rocks I began to think of starting on my way again, when suddenly my nerves were put on the qui vive by my horse chucking up his head and staring forward for a few moments with pricked ears. Then, without having stopped chewing, he dropped his muzzle back into the dewy grass and went on grazing as though dewy grass bred no such thing as "horse sickness." Following the direction of his stare I fancied I saw something moving in the shadow of the rocks, and a few seconds later the figure of a man loomed up clear and black against the moonlit sky, moving along the top of the "kopje" in a stealthy, stooping position. Hat, beard and rifle proclaimed him to he a Boer. Time, locality and posture told that ho was searching for me. Mechanically I brought my carbine to the "ivadv." As I did so he stopped and slowly sank behind a stone. Either a glint of my weapon or a sound from my horse had caught his attention. I was in the deep shadow of an overhanging rock, and my horse was behind me, effectually concealed by a projecting corner of the hank. I never took my eye off the spot where the enemy had disappeared. The minutes dragged by like hours as I watched without seeing a sign.

Could he have slipped away from there altogether and perhaps be creeping down behind me somewhere? I dared not take my gaze off the place for a single moment, and the tension of waiting gradually became almost unbearable. My heart was thumping away all the while with suppressed excitement, almost drowning the only other sound audible in the surrounding dead stillness, the sound of my horse contentedly cropping the herbage. At last a movement by the stone I was watching, and I saw his head rise slowly and quietly peer about. It seemed almost like a bad dream to watch this specter so noiselessly exerting all bis craft to find me in order to takw my life.

How steadily he stared into my donga with his head only just above the stones! But he could not see me, his eyes could uot pierce the darkness of my hiding place.

Seeing nothing, he gradually raised himself to gain a more extended view or to look into the ground more immediately under his position, and now I saw his head, shoulders and body clearly silhouetted against the sky, almost under the moon. Quickly I raised my carbine to my shoulder. The barrel shone like a bar of silver as I pointed it for his head. Slowly and steadily I lowered the fore end till the bar was diminished into a single spark shining against the lower part of the black figure. He never moved, and all the while my brain kept repeating those lines of Gordon's:

How strange that a man should miss Whan his life depends on his aim! How strange that a man should miss When his life—

At the right moment hand and eye worked mechanically in unison, and through the roar and red bhizo lluit followed I had a momentary vi:s ci two hands thrown up against the sky and then blank darkness. My horse, startled by the report, first claimed my attention, and then, as I slipped in one of my two remaining cartridges, I wondered what next should be done.

Was the man dead or shamming? Had he friends near who would be attracted by the report? Should I stay where I was or make a bolt? I finally decided to wait a few minutes and watch.

Not a sound. Nothing moved. So tarefully and quietly I crept up the ilonga, and by a detour made my way to the back of the pile of rocks. A movement in their shadow caused me to drop flat among the stones, till I saw that it was only the Boer's horse quietly grazing out into the moonlight. So the man was still there, but was he alive and waiting, or was he dead aud safe? Cautiously I crept nearer and nearer, with my carbine ready. Still no sign. At last I see s6metliing. Is it a^iranch or a crevice? It is a rifle, and its shadow lying across the rocks. Enough I Even if alive he is in my power now. I walk

boldly forward. There, near the rifle, down among the stones, is a huddled he.ap It is the first man I have ever shot. I don't quite know what to do. I push him with my foot. No response. He iis dead. How strange it seems! A few minutes ago this dead bundle was as foil of life as I. Every muscle and nerve, every sensation in fullest working order, and now but one little act of mine, and the whole is thus collapsed.

Only now the moon was looking down on two human beings approaching each other over the wide veldt. A moment later she looks sadly down on one standing beside the crumpled remains of the other.

The two horses are still grazing peacefully on opposite sides of the rocks. I roused myself from my musings and took up the dead man's rifle. It was a Martini-Henry. After appropriating its cartridge, I knocked out the block axis pin and threw the block away, so that it might no longer bo of use to an enemy. And then I thought to replenish my own ammunition from the enemy's store and turned again to the corpse.

I felt a reluctance to touch the poor limp thing, nut. his haversack was partly underneath him and had to be got out. That done, I drew the cold hands down to the sides and straightened out the legs, but could not go so far as to turn the body on its back—I feared to see the face. In the haversack I found besides the cartridges a Bible and some rusks and "biltong" (sun dried meat). The cravings of hunger were reawakened by the sight of food and I was soon munching away at my newly acquired supply, while I still stood in a kind of fascination over the body of my victim.

How strange to be eating the food prepared for ona who had no need for it! To be tasting the flavor, which somehow I did not altogether like, that possibly he would have been tasting now had not all power of taste suddenly gone out of him forever! Then his Bible lying there reminded me that we were both practically of the same belief. Two Christians, whose religica told them to love one another, meeting in the midst of a heathen land—strangers to each other on earth, but brothers in spirit. We meet—to greet each other with peace and goodwill? No, but without even a word of anger one to kill the other.

And a great remorse comes over me. What right had I to take his life? By killing him, in what torrent of grief and ruin may I not have involved a wife and bairns? Did I not fire before there was need for it? In vain I tell myself that had I not killed him he would have gathered me.

All feeling of animosity is drowned in that of pity. At any rate if his comrades find him they shall know that we "Rooi-batches" bear no grudge, but have some good feeling in us. May it help to dispose them more peaceably toward us!

So, after a very short meal, I stow the ammunition and the remainder of the food into

pocket. Then I drag

the body from where it lies, leaving only a black, shining blotch among the stones, into a shallow cleft between the rocks. Here I turn it on to its back and see the pale, dead face, the paler for the contrast with its black beard in the clear moonlight. I close the glassy, staring eye- and compose the limbs in their narrow bed, and then, with largo bowlders, I overbridge the grave and fill up every crevico well with stonec. Little now is left to do. On the highest rock, just above the grave, I build a cairn of stones, in which I firmly plant the rifle upright. I take his Bible, which has writing in its cover that may tell his name, and fasten it, inside his hat, to the muzzle of the rifle, and to the cleaning rod I tie my handkerchief, to serve at once as a scare to beasts and an attracting sign to men. And then I turn and leave the spot.

I reached Standerton all safely with my twro horses soon after daybreak and delivered my dispatches. When I emptied my pockets, daylight showed me that what was left of the biltong and rusk was all besmeared with blood.—Sketch.

Wood Pulp Hollowware.

Wood pulp hollowware is made in molds of any desired shape readily opened and the moisture is driven out by compressed air through fine netting, the mesh holding the pnlp, but permitting the water to escape. After the pulp is shaped, either into inclosed hollowware or other decorative articles, it is treated chemically so as to harden and toughen the pulp. By a special treatment it is given the appearance of china, having also the valuable properties of resisting acids, _a ., which makes it adapted to oil cans, pickle packages and similar articles. The glazed hollowware is intended to take the place of glass or tin for canned goods and for vases, jardinieres aud other ornamental articles in imitation of earthenware, pottery and china. Such articles made of wood pulp will not chip or crack. They can be dropped with impunity and will stand considerable more usage than articicH ot oiher materials. The numerous applications of wood pulp, many of which have been mentioned in these columns, point to the extended use of that material.—Stoves and Hardware Reporter.

Careful of Souvenirs.

The Belgians are careful of their historic souvenirs. In the front of a house situated in the Faubourg de Shaerbuch, in Brussels, there is to be seen half buried in the plaster a cannon ball which was fired from a Dutch cannon at the period of the revolution of 1830 and has ever since been permitted to remain. Recently it was determined to restore and refront the house, and it was decided to make the repairs without disturbing the cannon ball.

To Attract the Bees.

If you want the bees to visit your garden, and if you know anything of plant life you are aware that they are a necessity, invite them by having plants which bear blue blossoms. Sir John Lubbock says they manifest a decided preference for that color.
