A national conference of the repre sentatives of the various political re form movements now existing in this country, including Prohibitionists, Farmers, Greeabackers; General Re formers, etc., met at Chicago Jan. 27. Miss Frances E. Willard presided. The object of the conference was to combine for political action, hoping thus to defeat the old parties. It was decided that the representa tives of the various movements hold seperate meetings and decide upon the planks in a joint platform, but when the meeting reassembled and the reports were made it was found that many things insisted on by one party could not be tolerated by an te throw a quilt over the crippled ! child and escape into the hall in her night robe. She made her way half way down the steps leading to the third floor, when she lost her balance and fell. The mother and child were found on the landing shortly after; One of the most painful cases was that of little three-year-old Ethel Piatt, daughter of James M. Piatt of Pinkneyville, 111. Little Ethel was found in bed on the third floor, half strangled with smoke and helpless from spinal trouble. Wrapped up In a blanket she was taken up in the arms of a fireman, carried down to the next floor through the dense smoke and past the roaring flames to the window, and as the crowd gathered below and extended their arms she was thrown out.

Second That they were grown in a section at least 100 miles from any trees believed to be infested with yel lows or rosette. Third That tbe grower of the trees or buds, pits; etc. has not used or bought buds, pits or roots of the above named trees from any. district where yellows or rosette are known to exist within .five years; and also that we will demand such further evidence as shall be necessary to satisfactorily es tablish the place of growth of such trees under quarantine, and that neither trees, buds, pits or roots were grown ! a district infested with yel lows or rosette, and tnat we will bom trees, etc., in quarantine until such evidence is produced. fingers every whir- as long as the fingers of the hand.

This was too much for Barker and he laughed out- j right. Cat cn ing the Utile girl in his arms he kissed her oa both cheeks and left her abruptly. Hd Barker was neither rich nor poor. but his slender s:tl try was far from sat isfying tbe demands of a rather extrav agant nature. He had been the ward of a most indulgent out seii-wiuea uncie, whose vast fortune young Barker would have inherited some day had he not pos sessed an obstinacy equal to his guard ian s. The young man bad married lor love, in opposition to his uncle's express desires. Tue o d gentleman had never forgiven the youth for his independence and since the marriage there had been no intercourse between them. Meanwhile Daisy and her mother had started out to do some shopping. A woman Is generally in a chronic state of shopping, if she lives in a larg city. As Mrs. Barker stood at a counter in one of the large uptown b.iz.iars, D.tisy eradualiv wandered away f ro u her aud lost herself in the crowd. ISO one no ticed the bright-eyed little creature. and she walked along at her own sweet will. The brilliant colors of wares du played on the counters amused her for a bile, but pretty soon, wita the fickle ness of her sex, she turned her atten tion to a woolly little poodle just In front of her, which strutted along ia all the glory of a blue ribbon aud a snon-whlte coat. There iano creature in tbe great metropolis which fares better than a pet poodle. To bi the favorite dog of a wealthy woman is to live in luxury of the most pronounced type. Daisy liked little dogs, and wanted to pat the white wool of the poodle Just beyond her. But her two little letrs could not over take the object of her activity. Down the street wpnt the careless biby. Pretty soon Daisy lost sight of her ignis fahats. The dog and Its mistress uau disappeared. "I'd better do and find mamma," said the little girl to herself ; and she turned around to retrace her steps. A large en trance at one side of the street attracted her attention, and, thinking it was the door of the store she had just left, she walked boldly in. it dldn t seem to tier to be the right place, and she looked about her in a dazed way. Above what seemed to be glas3 cases she could see the tops of men s heads, just snowing over the woodwork. Down at the end of the room was an open door, and Daisy decided to go tnere and ask someone where her mamma was. She was begin ning to be frightened, but had not lost all her oouragi, Sne boldly entered the little room anu round tnere an oia gen tleman, in spectacles, who looked over the top of bis morning paper in aston ishment at the Interruption. "Ioub a funny looking old man. said Daisy with more emphasis than politeness. 'Well, little girl, what do you want here?" asked the old gentleman, in much tbe same tone that Pooh Bah, in the Mikado, says : How de do, little girls how de do." I want to see the animals, said Daisy, forgetting in her curiosity all about her mother. She had taken the glass counters and barred windows of the bank for an improved style of men agerie. The dtgnitiea president iaio down his uewspaper, arose irom nis 'lair and looked into the reception room. "My dear little girl, said the old gentleman, looking puzzled, "where is your mamma t Daisy instantly came to her senses. Mammas in the store," she said shortly, "What atore?" asked the president. " an-i 8010 wn- was. teplled Dtlsy, irrelevantly The old gentleman looSei at her sharply over his spectacles, and then the severe lines of his face relaxed, and he could not but smile on the bright lit tle countenance turned up to his. Calling one of the clerks, he asked 11 he knew anything about the child's en trance. No on in the bank could ac count for It. The president was unus ually moved. He would h-ive stoo I the loss of half his fortune w thou: slowing the least emotion, but there was some thing about tbe lrtle girl that anectea him stransMv. He nondered for a few momenta, while the tears came Into Daisy's eyes. She had be-.ru n to lose her courage somewhat and she was anxious to find her mamma. She knew that she had done wrong, and the thought that her mother must bv this time be wor ried about her began to trouble her aorelv. I want to go to mamma. " she nobbed. Meanwhile the nresident had come to a curious dec:sion. Ho might nave intrusted the little wanderer to a clerk and have resumed his paper with serenity. ' But he was interested in Daisy without knowing why, and he de termined to take her himself to her mother. ' Wait a moment," he said to hpr bindlv. "and vou shall eo to mam ma with me." Daisy dried her eyes and' felt relieved. Putting on bis hat and coat the eccen tric old man took the little girl's hand, 1 and the ' strangely assorted couple passed through th? outer room towards the d oi". While all this was taking place Mrs. Barker had been making a most active search for D t:sy. S had misled dpt soon after the wanderer had left the store, and had aked nearly everyone in the establishment if they had seen the child. Up and down the street she walked hurridly. looking here and there, q-iestionirjgp 1 ice Tien an I endeavoring all the time to keep as calm as she could. S:ie hurried hom as rapi ily as possi ble. Her husband must know at once of Daisy's disappearance. At a crisis like tnat which now confronted Mrs. B irker a woman feels all the significance of her own weakness. S ie naLuralty turns to a man for guidance. Mrs. Barker felt intense relief when she heard her husband s voice answering her through the telephone. It was not a pleasant story she had to tell, but she related hurriedly the main features thereof in as quiet and restrained manner as possible. Ned B irker was a man who always reached a decision in a hurry, but bis judgment wa seldom at fault. l will go to the store ana iron. there to the police station. After that I will come home at once." he called to his wife. ' D nt worry about her ; she will turn up all right." In spite of his cheerful words, how ever, his voice had an unwonted un steadiness about it which was not wholly the telephone's faulf. Mrs. B irker did worry. How coutd she help it? Her own unwat ranted absorption in a petty bai gain had caused her a loss, wh;ch, if permanent, she felt would driv her crazy. And where were little D-ttsy and her conquest meanwhile? On leaving the bank the p evident had easily led the little girl to show him in what store she had left her mother. It was all plain sailing after that. Mrs. Barker, as before said, ha I left her address with the clerks and D dsy's dign fld protector had no difficu ty in learning where to taka his little cha-ge. " W- live In a flat." said Daisy as she trotted a'ong at the great man's side. Wrt's goin t- have a turkey on Tbanks-Tnankp-iivirtg day. We isn't doin' to have Aunt Tate, hut I know Papa would 1 kH to hive you come." Th" old gentleman looked down thought fully at the baby by his side. I "What is your papa's first name?" he asked, somewhat sternly. He had been struck by the name of B trker given him at tbe store and so-nething in the little girl'- face seemed familiar. " P.i pa hasn't any name, but just Papa," said D 1 sy, tnp mtica'ly. "Mam ma calls him Ned. but dat's only Just for fun." His suspicions were confirmed by the child's answer. He was doing a kind ness to a man whom for ye ts he bad re solved to efface from h;s memory. But his lonely old heart was touched, and he resolved to se the adventure to its end. His life ha'l tea very dreary since be had cast Nd Barker from him, anl be felt a growing curiosl'y to see the wom an who had become between him and his nephew. As he entered the elevitor of the ereat apartment hous. t:ie little girl climbed into his lap and put up her face for a kif-B- You s a nic old man, any way," she repeal e I, patting him on bis withered ch-'ek. As tie touched tne Den at Ned Barker's door he heard the sound of sobs within. The door was opened instantly, and Daisy wan in her mother's arms.

Her reference to uer protector roused tier mot-i-r to a sense of propriity. "You must excuse me sir, for delaying my welcome," sne said, smiling, "but X have been so worried that I fear I am not quite myself." And she held out 10 him h"r pretty white hand.

He followed her into tbe parlor and sat down in a chair she placed for him. As they sat there conversing about the details of Daisy's escapade a quick step In the hallway prececal the en trance of Ned Barker. He had learned at the store tnat nis little girl had been taken home aud his face was wreathed with smiles as i.e caught Daisy in his arms and kissed her on both cheeks. "See dat nice old man," exclaimed Daisy, pointing to her rescuer, " He brought me home to mamma." Ned Barker turned quickly and beheld bis uncle. It was a moment of intense emotion for both o thm, but t je sweet est presence of the little child destroyed forever the coldness which had grown between them, and hand in hand they renewed the ties which had been sev ered. "The little girl looked eo like vou. Ned." said the uncle at last, "that 1 seemed to be drawn to her by the force of former years. And you have com pleted the conquest," he said, turning to Mrs. Bark-r. Thus it was that the Barkers had Anut Kate and her husban-J to ea tur key with them and the feast was digni fied by the portly presence of a bank president. And if you a;k Ned Barker now why he is not as short as he used to be he w 11 tell you that it is all owing to the fact that Daisy once got lost. The best of the earliest wood engraving was done in Italy, but in tbe sixteenth cen tury the art took great strides through the example of the great Albert Durer. By the use of strong contrasts in black and white be did away with the use or colorings. He is best known for his four series of Biblical illustrations. The Apocalypse of St. John, the Larger Passion of Our Lord, the Life of the Virgin, and the Smaller Pas sion of Our Lord. Another series, the Triumph of Maximilian, is famous. The herald is a representative piece of this work. The beast on which the herald is mounted has t he hind legs and tail of a ! lion, the body, wings, claws and neck of an eagle, with a lion's face where the eagle's might be. All ie very fantastic, but artistic. Holbein, who flourished a few years ago after Durer, carried the art still further ahead. His " Dance of Death " and " Fig ures of the Bible " are among the monu ments of the engraving art. After Durer, Holbein, and their pu;lls Iin l pi-aed away it declined, and at the end of the sixteenth century was in its lowest state. From that time on it did not flourish greatly until the eighteenth century. Then there were some interesting revivals, including the works of Ho&rarth. To Thomas Bewick, the glorious illustra tor of British birds and beasts, is due the creation of tbe presentart of engraving on wood. He began to work at the eud of the eighteenth century. Probably the best work is done at the present time by Ameri can wood engravers. N. 1. auu. LA GRIPPETV-.

Slocum, ill. C-. 183 Pearl St. M. Y. The Chinese Claim to Have Know II Nearly 3,000 Years Ago. The art of engraving on wood was intro duced into Europe from China by mer chants trading with that country. The Chinese claim to have known the art a thousand years before the birth of Chirst, though that is probably not true it is cer tain that they knew it before any European nation did. Early in the fifteenth century illustra tions of the Bible and playing cards were printed from wooden engraved blocks. These two things were in a way the first to be printed in Europe. From printing with blocks to the use of movable type was a natural step. A full-length portrait of St. Christopher, done in 1423, is one of the earliest wood en It is remarkable for t e attempts at shadinir. Another irood SDe"i nen of early wood engraving is the title paff of a Sal lust printed in 14S1. Sallustis S"n dicta tingtothreescribes,oneofwhou. Toannes rsnuinmcus, uuou oi onuuu, nui mou two bands. The printing of playing cards and of Rihlical illustrations I ecunie so general an industry during the lif Lteenth century that the Venetian Senate, in order to protect the city's own share of it, forlade the importa tion of them. At the same time large num bers of block books, printed by the use of emrraved wooden blocks, were pubiisnea. " Th Foor ireacner s Jtsioie" is among the best known of these. It contains forty pages printed on one side only. Tbe ink is pale brown, and the transfer from the block to the paper was done with a rubber. These hooks immediately preceaea tne in troduction of printing with typebyGutten- berg and Caxton. The text and titles of the illustrations are done in handwriting in the block books. There is no indication on them of the date or place of publication, but most of them were made in Holland and Germany. "The Mirror of Human Salvation" is a book in which the illustrations printed from blocks and the text from movable type. Each process was done separately. The inventors of printing de voted more attention to the printing of Hithes tnan anything else, and many of them were illustrated. The Cologne Bible, printed somewhere between 1470 and. 1475, contains 109 engravings, which shew a strong improvement on any earlier work remaining to us. The borders of the volume are deco Tuted. and the designs often deals with tmmrs far removed from he thoughts of the inspired writers. " The Chronicles of Nuremberg," 1491, contains tbe first exam ple of tbe process of cross hatching, by which color is produced by lines crossing each otaer obliquely. The King Snake. The king snake is the mnsL powerful snake found in tdis country, and is the conqueror of every other sped". He wages a constant warfare upon fa tue snakes, moccasins, vipers, and oil others, and nearly always swalov his victim. Recently a large king says a cor respondent of The Atlanta Constitution, was discovered making a meal of a coach- whlDmucb larger and longer than itself. The coaehwhip was yet alive, but the king was tied around it and nad swallowed its head and about a foot of its body. When the kinir snake was set at liberty it ran around awhile until it struck the track of the other and then darted off in pursuit. Judce Pitt man was tisiung on the bank of a river and saw a coaehwhip swimming aeross from the opposite side. It landed and strucs out tliro'-gh tr.e woods, m little while he saw a king snake in pursuit. which landed at the same spot auu disap peared In the woods oa the track of its game. The mng snaice grows w great size, ana is as strong as an ox. It is black, with small white striprs around the body. Their tenacity of lift- is ma: vlous.

Carlise, Pa, recently designated upon a blackboard the proba ble location of the Garden of Eden. Hit audience was composed almost exclusively of members of the local Methodist Confer ence, and the scene of the lecture was Wesley Hall, where the conference holds -its regular meetings. ' Prof. Bogers disputed the theory that the Garden of Eden as described in the Mosaic history is simply legendary, and by means ot this map he located the abid ing place of humanity's first parent's near tbe ancient site of Babylon, He said thfl word Eden" was of Assyrian derivation and indicated a lowland, thus proving that the " Garden of Eden" signified the " gar den of the valley." Geographical re searches by many of the most eminent historians were quoted in the most Inter esting relation and the changes in natural forms were pointed out with a precision and emphasis that enlisted the undivided attention of the audience. He said the physical conditions of the region are ex actly as described in the Bible. Philadel phia Times. So Deformed CHIaatmea.
