Saratoy is a well-built city nf about 125,000 inhabitants. It trade, which was very large, depended mainly on thu river.

Kthnngraphically they nre different nee, he says, but they have acquired the Teutonic t'jnjgue, just ns the Highlanders have received Kns Iish. According to bim, the Uormnn is the vassal of tho Prussian now , as ho ai of the Koinnn in the past. A magazine writer ha lately demon strated by an elaborate array of fact? and figures that it is impossible for a loco motive to pull a passenger train at a faster rate than about seventy miles an bour. In a short time, therefore, cx claims the Chicago Tribune, if some un scientific blunderer comes alon with s locomotive that actually pulls a train 100 miles an hour let him bo suppressed.

' A curious movement of population is noted by the New (trlcans Picayune in Illinois. Sixty-nine cars recently left Peoria for Central Iowa loade I with farm ers, their families and household ef fects. The emigrants are mostly from McLean County, III. Then: were, in all 112 adults and eighty two children. They said that they were moving he eauso their Illinois lands had grown so valuable that they could not farm them with profit, so they sold out and bought j lands equally good but much cheap".' s Iowa. The Christian population of the world? is ascertained to he about five hundred millions, constituting a third of the in habitants of tho earth. It is an interest in'; fart, remarks the Atlanta Constitu tion, that tho increase within a century and n half has reached this number frmii only 200,t)iin,0U0. A year ago the pro- gressive nation of Japan revolutionized j the Government and adopted a moie . popular form. At the first election for i members of their Parliament it was found ; that several Japanese lieli vers in Chris tianity had been chosen by popular suf frage. There are now thirteen Christian Japane'e in the pnrsent Parliament and many offices ol note are hel l by Japanese of the Christian faith. In fact, this beautiful country must soon tako rank I among the Christian nations, and whoa we consider ho. r.e.ir it may be made to j us commercially by the construction of i the Nicaragua Cinal, as well as ! by rapid transit acioss tho American con- j tineut, we may exiect our people of the j t entieth century to become nearly as 1 familiar n ith Japanese as they aru with tutopcaos. 1 IN THE I'AITLE, If a trouble binds- you, brntik it; I.lfe. is often what we make it, U.wvl or III and so we take it; Lot not disappointment fret you, If a scemirr ill beset you.

Hulli liiske turns into the prim little dining room, seals hir.sclf upon one of the straight backed chairs and begins to draw olf her brown cotton gloves. She is an odd little figure, small mid shin, and dressed in a hideous anlhpiate I plaid, with shades of glaring blue and green, jet her fair hair which the wind and rain have milled and made to look hka a halo about her meek, small fact painful curve of her lips, and her slightly ' flushed checks, render her appearance ' not altogether unpleasing. ! She eats her simple tea .juickly, gl inc- I ing from time to tune at a boi' w hich I she has propped up against the milk jug I a book Mr. Stanford mentioned inci- j dentally one flay, and which she has ob tained from tho village library. The next morning Miss Huth gets a letter. She knows the hanchrritiiijj upon the euvelope ix-for h opeua it. 'Parish mat ters, of r ourse," shn say to her-elf. Perhaps, it's about tho school treat, " She opens the envelope, unfolds thu note, within and is rinding it alow V, when suddenly she ullei i a low cry, her breath comei fst nod the familiar world about her grows in a tii'MiicntMian;;e and unreal.

And fro:n sii' li a mm the man whom she has looked up to and reverenced and followed so humbly and mo le.tly ever Kince she first saw bi n! She goes down to breakfast with a flushed face, quiver ing llpaaud radiant eyei. "Miss Cornelia's just on the ramp this morning, miss," says the little maid warningly, as she meets Kuih in the nar row pnasagc that does fluty for a h ill. Miss Kulh nods nnd smiles as if this were tho plnasanlest intelligent possible. Cornelia's diatribes this morning (all nit on heedless, ears.

She reads the letter over eevrrn! times, and then shakes her hetd. "How poorly I hive said it!" she thinks. "Hut he is sokind , ho will un derstand that I mean well." The curate, when he receives the gen tle, humble epistle, is filled with dismay, lie paces wildly up nn I flown his small sitting room. "Somebody has played n cruel, heart less trick upon that poor little woiu in, and I have to face her and tell her so. I would rather he shot." He drinks his se ibling tea in great gulps, and is glad of the pain it causes him. "Hut what am I to do? ib) and tell a woman a kind, gentle, litllo lady coarsely and brutally to her face, that she has been pi tyed with and insulted; that I never dreamed of loving her; that it is impossible for mo to do s ? Oil, cruel and cowardly! How can I strike a gentlewoman, or indeed any woman, such a blow as that (" He rcits his head upon his hands and groans. After ft while he re ids the letter fiver again slowly. He reads between the lines and seens 1 1 seen soul laid bare before him, nnd he realizes ho ,v much that means to her. What a new tloo I of light has been poured suddenly upon that sad, unsellish lllel Ami there is no help for either of them. He must do ill Well, then, let if be "lone at once. Mechanically lie take his hat down from its peg and goes out into the street, walking with his hen I bent down, see ing nothing, hearing nothing until he is close to the little green gate; the:: a child's clear, high voice readies his ear. "My g'aiiuio tuado it," sho says. "Ain't It pitty?'' "It's a beautiful doll," a gentlo voice answers. "Is it a good bi'iy ?'' "Welly duo I," the child siys, tucking tho rag 'loll under oini chubby uriu. "Dive ine a wose, please." Miss Until plucks one of the few re maining June roses, one of the prettiest, and puts it into thu little oulstretche I hand. As he turns to look after tho child Miss Kuth sees him and pauses shyly. Something has to bo said, so ho comes forward. "What a lovely evening!" he exclaims, though he scarcely knows whether it rains or whether the sun shines. "Yes," she answers. "Won't jnu were you will you come in:" He follows her into the house with an intense longing lor something, however dreadful, to happen to him, and save him from what is to follow. Huth takes him into the dining room. He leels vaguely that his task is becom ing more difficult. In the bare, chill little drawing room ho c-.uhl have said his say better. Hut she brought him straight into the sanctuary ot her homo, .and again he feels oddly that her life lies open before him. There is her work lying folded togeth er. What, a tiny thimble! He glance flown at her small bare hinds. She has taken oil her ugly gloves. What a bit of a woman for a strong man to tight! What a gentle life to be marred and shattered by a bitter shame! Still Mi. Stanford floes not sprak, but Htunds there before her, looking very pale. His back is to the window mid rho cannot si e his face well, but tlic light shines full upon her?. "I 'lid not show my sifter your letter," she begins hesitatingly. "I thought I had belter wait that perhaps you would change your mind, think flilfer cutly ah uit it all, and then it would be best that only we two should know." She does not say a word about changing her own mind. She stand J there before him, a sweet, fair woman, in spite of her old fashioned gow 11 and 1 her oddly arranged hair, Sli" looks at him witsb smiling, stead fast eyes, am'. VUm him take or leave her as pleases him best. And his c ourige to hurt, wound, perhaps kill hot, fails him. In a moment. bis resolution is I taken. He strides hastily forward. 'Huth, ilo you lovu inof" he asks, holding out his he.nil.i. And the calm of hT lace break up ns she sinks into his nrn. "Uh, ao much so much!" Ufclmot wihi. "Hut I nm not worthy nf you. You should tnnrry some one ever, ever so much better nnd younger and prettier than I. Do you know," hiding her ashamed fin e and confessing it as hIhi would have cotilcsse I n hii, "I uui thirty thrre." "And I am thirty-four," ho answers. "Dreadful isn't, it?" Whi n Miss Jocelyn lieais the ncws,sho goe-i away suddenly iuini-it bj Homo friend. Three years have passed, nn I Iiura Jocelyn is older, sadder, wpcr. She litis loved anil Biilfered, an I learned lo sympathize with other-. lint she has never seen Mr. Stanford or his old in aid wife iigain. When she returned home the marriage was over, mid they wen; g-iiie to his neiv living, "This was the word, thing I ever did," she says sadly to her-elf. "I will go auti confess, nm! tell bim how sorry I a n. What a horrible thing to have ruined two lives!" So she goes on her penitent errand to the. small town forty miles away. n getting tint of the train she asks lie? way lo the vicirage, an I walks there slowly. A child's laugh startles her from Ic r bitter musings, and she looks up nod iicro-s tin: swiflbiiar hedge thai is in bloom at her sid", foi it is July again.

They will b- in market in the spring time, being in prini" eoiidilioti in tlie la'ler part of April a i l in May. The only part of tin; animal n l is the bind legs. Tho finest quality if flops' logs 1 come from Canada. Tory arc brought to market skinned and re ely for use. All that is necessary is to t'u-i oil their claws. Sprinkle them with salt and pc,i per to hioil them; dip tie-in in sweet oil, squeeze over them n few drops nf lemon juii.e u'jd lay them on a broiler, liroil tin m very carefully, about the minutes tin each side, until they arc a very deli cate brown. They should be s, rved with a maitre d'hotel butter. A more familiar way of co king frogt is to fry them.
