A DOCTOR'S SEC09D WIFE. 1 Drl Brinsley belongs to the noble armv of martvrs and heroes known as "country doctors." fle was the sort of man you could love if yon loved him; otherwise vou would probably dislike him, for he was very peculiar; every- Vvnlir coid flii finw thATA RT Sftvprftl ways of being particular, and the doc tor's ways were net always pleasant ways unless you loved him, and to her he uau DvCUiVU WUV UiVOV v w v v u e mv suited her and she suited him, and they had been very happy. It must not be supposed that her love had been of a cooing kind. Perhaps the doctor would not have enjoyed that. Darling Becky rejoiced in making, bright, spicy, impu dent remarks to her husband. Remarks rhich made his big brown eyes sparkle with delight; then he would meet her half way, and they would fight the most interesting little duels, followed by the most affectionate reconciliations. Bat it was now three long years since poor Becky bad been resting in her quiet grave and the doctor's friends had de cided that he needed some one to keep house for him. After much persnasion he had been particularly introduced to Miss Delia Swank "What a name!" -thought the doctor, but as he looked at her he saw that she was fair, gentle, healthy and 26. "A good, sensible age; must be neat and orderly," was his verdict. In a moment of enthusiastic selfishness he had pro posed td her, and in a momen of enthusi astic devotion she had aocepted him. They were married. She lived in his house, she poured out his tea and coffee, she entertained his friends, and every body said: "Oh, how much nicer she was than that other woman 1" She was very popular with everybody, but she was not at all popular with the doctor. To him "that other woman" was still all the world and the brightness thereof. So homeless did he feel in the presence of this much nicer woman that his visits to Becky's grave were the only happy hours of his new life. After awhile he became more accustomed to Delia, and then he began to give her free and fre quent lectures on Becky. ' 'She' used to say so and so, she used to do this and that, and as she had been right then, she must be right now and forever, and in everything. Delia had married "from a sense of duty," and deserved to be punished; but it seemed to her that her punishment was greater than sbe deserved. She would not have wished that her husband should forget tho wife of his youth, but she had expected that he would have some regard for the woman he had in vited to preside over his household, , and she had hoped to make him comfortable; to "do her duty' by him," as she ex pressed it. Part of that duty she had performed in the most admirable man ner; never had the doctor's house been so clean; never had his shirt bosoms shone with such lustre; but the heart which beat behind them ' she had been unable to conquer. Was it her fault? Had she not tried to be kind, to be patient, to be meek? Yes, but it was the trying which spoiled it all, and she lacked the sweet boldness which love alone can give. She was almost afraid of that ungracious man, and she was jealous of Becky, much loved, happy Becky. At the end of six months of such a life the doctor noticed that Delia looked pale and thin. "You need a little frsh air," he prescribed, "and I shall take you put as often as I can." Not without soineinward fear, but retired in bor very best, Delia sat in the buggy by the side of her lord. It .'was a balmy spring afternoon, nature looked so fresh, so bright, so happy, that a little of this happiness breathed itself into Delia's sad heart. The doctor must have been touched by these benign influences, for never before had he been so kiod, so attentive to her, so talkative. She smiled several times, . twice she absolutely laughed. She sat a little neater to him, her cheeks bloomed and she was beginning to feel quite com fortable, when, as luck would have it, they happened to ride past a very small cottage, so small that Delia said, "Oh, such look! 1 wonder how people Jive in a tiny bit of a house?" The doctor's brow grew dark. "In such a house as this," he said in his most impressive manner; "in just such a house as this my wife and I lived in the greatest happiness when we. were first married." Had Delia been suddenly shifted from India's coral strand to Greenland's icy" mountains the shock could hardly have been greater. "His wife!" she thought, "then, if she is his wife, what am I?" Peculiar reasoning, perhaps, but Delia knew very well what she meant. AH that evening she sat silently sewing and answering the doctor's remarks with a primness of dignity that surprised him. But he asked no questions and took refuge in thoughts of the old days when Becky sat in that same chair, sewing,too, but with such bright, loving looks, such an interesting way of saying things! And now what a difference! What, in truth, was this woman to him? Not a wife, not even a companion, only a housekeeper. And he gazed at her reflectively. It so happened that Delia, who had been mak ing desperate efforts to overcome her sulky mood, looked up at tint moment and' caught the fall meaning of the doctor's eyes. Had he slapped her face she could not have felt it more, but she gave no sign. With white fingers that trembled a little she folded her work and said: "I am tired, I will go to my room." Delia did not Bleep much that night. "I must leave him," she decided ut last. "I will not live with him unless I am really his wife. I cannot." Leave him; but how? She could not go back to her mother's house -where questions would be asked which she 1 was deter mined not to answer; and besides it was too near. Where could she go? A, few nours aiwrwaru inas question was answered. She received a letter post laarsea -uenvcr, uoioraao, it came from "dear cousin Mamie." and as aha read her letter Delia's face brightened; "it is just what I wanted," she said to herself. One evening, when the doctor came home, Bridget met him at the door and said: "Missus has gone, sir; she' had to go a kind of sudden, but she said she would and tell you." "All right," ans wered the doctor. ''Gone to her mo ther's," he explained to himself . "I sup pose there is some sort of fandango going on there. He make himself very com fortable. It was a cool evening, and he smoked his cigar, put his feet on the stove, with "no one, nigh to hinder." But what the doctor really liked was to be hindered; he enjoyed watching the mild shadow of' i disapproval stealing over Delia's face; if she had frankly and briskly expressed her opinion, then taken it back prettily, he might have fallen in love with her; but Delia always relapsed into meekness, and all was lost. As the days passed the doctor began to miss his housekeeper. "Why does she not write? Cold-blooded creature!" The oold-blooded creature wrote. Her letter was dated from Denver. It said: Deab Sib I thought you would be happier without me, so I came here. I am visiting Cousin Mamie. With best wishes for your happiness, I remain sin cerely, I DEMiA BBIifSIiET. "A pretty letterand 'dear sir' to me! Gone to Denver! ; Who could have sup posed she had spirit enough for that? Little goose! Gone to Denver, by Jove!" The doctor laughed, he blessed him self, he was delighted. The next even ing he was on his Way to Colorado. That same evening, in far-off, lovely Denver, Delia and Cousin Mamie were comparing notes about their husbands. Delia had been very cautions and Mamie was en thusiastic about the doctor. "If he was my husband I would flirt with him and make him fall desperately in love with me," she declared. "Flirt with him!" exclaimed Delia. "Certainly, it would be all right, and so intererting! Now; John is so good uat uted, and always the same, I sometimes wish he would be a little bit cross, just for change." I "What a sadly funny world this is," thoucht Delia when she was alone, "no one is really contented and happy. Then she became very homesick; not only did she miss the doctor, but she also missed herself, sbe had always been so prudent, so submissive, and now she had done such a wild, wicked thing! Had she not promised "for better and for worse?" i One morning there came a tremendous nnjr at the door. Delia knew tnat ring, she heard it all i over her, and turned pale. "Bound to eet in," said Mamie, as she hurried to the door. "Is Mrs. Brins ley in?" asked a big voice. Mrs. Brinsley was in. She came forward smiling, rosy cheeked, collected, transformed. She held out her hand, she was glad to see the doctor; she presented him to Cousin Mamie. They sat down. "Where are vou stopping?" i. "At the Windsor." And she became as deeply interested in the Windsor as if the doctor nad come expressly for the purpose of ending his life tbere. But Doctor I5nnsiey was not altogether defenceless. "I came to ask you ii yon would; take a ride with me. rhe carriage is at the door, uome just as you are. ! "Ohi" said Delia. And she went. The mountains were "perfectly magnificent", as! Delia remarked, but the Doctor made quick work of them. "How soon will you be ready to come home?" he asked quietly. "I don t know.! I intended to stay all summer. 1 think L thinK uut sue could not tell him what she thought She was glad he had come; she wanted to go back with him; she loved him now. But did he love her? If he would only be a little more 'gentle, more lover-Ike. The doctor was not very gentle; his man ner was clear-cut and decided, but if she would only have looked at him. "How soon will you come home.' he repeated. VI want you to come home." Then, slowly, she lifted up her eyes to his. Was this the way he used to look at Beckv? Not quite: no one should ever see that look again in the doctor s eyes But Delia did not know that, and it seemed very good to her to be looked at in this way. "I will go whenever you like, she answered at last J Then the doctor did say something gentle and lover-like. They were married already. JUet us hope "they were1 happy ever afterward.

Detroit Free Press. Why He Married Ber. In the forthcoming fascinating bio graphy of the heroic Lord , Lawrence there is, among many anecdotes, one eminently characteristic of the man, who was as strong in his affection as in his will. He was one evening sitting in his drawing-room fit South gate, with his sister and other! members of the family. All were engaged in reading. Looking up from his book, in which he had been engrossed, he discovered that his wife had left the room. "Where's mother?" said he to one of his daughters, j - "She's upstairs." replied the girl. He returned to his book, and, looking up again a few minutes later, put the same question to his daughter and re ceived the samej answer. Once more he returned to his reading and once more he looked up with the same question. His sister broke in: 'Why, really, John, it would aeem as if you could not get on for five minutes without your wife." "That's why I married her," he re plied. .;; . ; Young Lady Frenchmen?" -"Isn't this child a little Nurse "I cannot tell; the father is j German, the mother is French." Young Lady "Ah, then, we shall not be able to find out nntil the lit tle fellow can speak." TfaA fTnman and thft TossHs. I The woman did not ask for co-education in Columbia College.and that seems to be a reason why she should have no education in Columbia College at all. She modestly asked to slide in at , a side door at stated times and in stated ( ways; but that would necessitate a new system and a new college, and they would cost too much. If she had wanted education along with the man that would have been an easy thing to refuse for precisely what reason nobody knows, since young men and women and old men and women do have to associate, and there is really no harm in the bare fact of association; but that she should ask education in an other shape is equally objectable for very numerous reasons, each as wise as a Biblical proverb. The colleges are managed by very old men. They are men so old that they ought to be chalked on the back'as Noahs or Morgan Dixes. No man or boy, no woman or girl, should appeal in vain for the privilege of getting an education and paying for it. The privilege ought to be as free to .one as another, as -are town pumps and summer showers. There are men who argue that ordinary persons should not be educated above a certain point, ; lest they improve too much and nobody will be left to do the hard work that is necessary to general "comfort. Of the sam e species of logic is thj proposi tion that men should be made wise and women should ba kept ignorant. St. Paul said a foolish thing as to women, and Solomon, who respected women merely as they officiated as concubines, was equally unjust to the sex; and this foolishness and this injustice have come down to the managers oi colleges as a sacred inheritance, without a shadow of reason to make it sacred. What better right has a man than a woman to be educated? The intellect of the one is as good as that of the other, and , it has a right to be as good. Edu cation is in the market, as are commer cial and other advantages. There is a law protecting the civil rights of negroes. It seems to be necessary to have a law to protect the civil rights of woman. A man ana a woman nave equal rights in every grocery, every dry goods store, every place of amusement, every hotel, so long as they, pay equal money; but they attempt to buy an education and the fossils of the college say that the man's money is good, but the woman's is not., l Can anybody imagine anything more unjust than this? Is it political or com mercial or social fair play? What busi ness have the trustees of a college to say that this person shall have an education and that one shall not? What business have they to talk of the danger of inter course between young men and women who seek the advantages of their institu tions i and are willing to pay for them, any more than thev have to talk of the danger of the intercourse that attends the party, the ball, and the more social gathering? Women ask to be admitted to the Co lumbia College, and the privilege is re fused them! This will seem as strange in 1900 as the fact that this country once had slavery seems strange to us of the present period. N. Y. Graphio 11 Perkins on Buying' Jfew York. Diamonds in Since they have discovered diamonds in Africa, they are getting too common on Fifth avenue to be noticed. One young lady, reported to be young and handsome; wears finger-ring diamonds in her hair. A Chicago lady, staying at the Fifth avenue, alleged to have lived with her present husband two weeks without getting a divorce, wears diamond dress buttons; and even one of the col ored waiters an African, too, right from the mines showed me a diamond weigh ing thirty-seven pounds, which he of fered to sell to me in the rough for $4 a clear indication that even the Africans don't appresiSte the treasure they have found. ; This morning a lady from Oil City went into Tiffany's great jewelry store and said she desired to purchase a dia mond. "I understand solitaire diamonds are the best, Mr. Tiffany," she said; "please show me some of them." "Here is a nice solitaire," answered the silver-haired diamond prince; "how do you like it?" "Pretty well," said the lady, revolving it in her fingers. "It shines well; but are you sure it is a solitaire, Mr. Tiffany?" "Why, of course, madame." "Well, now if you will warrant it to be a real genuine solitaire, Mr. Tiffany, I don't mind buying it for my daughter Julia, and. come to think," she contin ued, as she buttoned he: six-button kid gloves and took her parasol to leave, "if you ve got nve or six more real genuine solitaires just like this one, I don't mind taking 'em all, so as to make a big soli taire cluster for myself." y "Yes, madame, we'll guarantee it to be a real solitaire," smilingly replied Mr, Tiffany, and then the head of the house went up to his private office, and in the presence of four hundred clerks sat down and wrote out his official guar antee that the diamond named was a genuine solitaire. As the lady bore the certificate from the big jewelry palace, she observed to herself: "There's noth ing like knowing you've got the real genuine thing. It's really so satisfyin' to be sure!" But that evening her fiendish hus band refused to buy the diamonds "and then this beautiful woman," said Mr. Tiffany,! ."all dressed up in silks and laces, and garnet earrings cut on a bias, sat down in the hotel parlor and had to refuse to go to the party at Mrs. Wither inton's becauso her jewels did not match her polonaise!" "Oh, dear!" said the great jeweler, and in the fullness of his grief he poured a coal-scuttle into a easeful of diamonds and -watches and silver spoons, and a basketful of diamonds and pearls and garnets into the coal stove. . ... 9 ,. .

USE ROSE PILLS. FRUIT SALT. WHlTUITt WRAT IS IT HADE FBOUf SlaveM'a fittest and Beat Discovery Th Coa- ucurauoi i ue Metflelnal lrpertle of XUp California Fruit. ISan Francisco Examiner. Fruit Bait is elaborately treated upon in this issue of the Examiner. What is Fruit Salt? It is the saline properties of California fruit medi cinallj applied to the human system. The rapid growth of the popularity attained by Slaven's "California Fruit Salt" naturally ex cites interest and creates a curiosity which is sat isfied by a perusal of this issue of the Examiner. People dislike to peruse lengthy explanations, and desire a concise plain statement of anv sub ject in which they are interested. This concise and brief statement we herewith propose to give. H. B. SLAT EI, ' The well-known chemist and proprietor of the principal and handsomest pharmacy and drug store in San Francisco, conceived the idea of con densing the many health-giving and sanitary projierties of our much celebrated and luscious California fruit into a medicinal remedy. That California fruits do possess remarkable health- nmmntincp nrnrArtiAa nn nna vail i r fnrm aA will i n j"-t- " ... question or deny. Therefore, when Mr. Slaven utjciueu on iuis ana unaeriooK tue experiment, he de ermined upon a careful analysis of all the principal food fruits native to this coast but more principally and notably the Old Mission grape; the acidous lime, the juice of which is so generally used for anti-scorbutic purposes on the sea; the rich aromatic juice of the apricot and that peculiarly developed California fruit, the fig. in these four fruits, the grape, lime, apricot and fig, were discovered properties which LARGELY. CONTRIBUTE TO THE HEALTH Of those who consume them. After careful analy sis and; scientific preparation a carthartic salt was discovered which differed in many charac teristics from any medicine now in use, and ios sessing among others, the following enumerated properties: First Being a health imparting medicine. Second An excellent, mild cathartic, no as tringent mineral poisons entering into its coin position. ; Thfrd A medicine not debilitating or causing pain, and imparting a tone to the system pro ducing a pleasant and cheerful effect. Fourth Being pleasant to the taste, compara tively very inexpensive and portable, anu par ticularly adapted for use ot travelers, as its worth in combating the efiects on the system of climatic changes is incalculable. In addition to the foregoing, it is an excellent tonic, and as such has received the unqualified ISDOKSKVEHT OK LKADIXQ PHT8ICIAN3 Of this city, as is shown in recommendations published in our advertising columns of this issue. Success has crowned ths introduction of Fruit Salt into every family where it has found its way. Thousands there are of sedentary hab its who have in vain sought health in patent nostrums of doubtful reputation, who now are assured and feel satisfied they have discovered in the use of Slaven's California Fruit Salt a very pleasant, safe and effective family medicine. It produces no deleterious effects whatever, does not debilitate or weaken the system, being ex clusively vegetable in its composition, and en tirely devoid of poisonous mineral properties it is necessarily health-imparting. The discoverer of the salino, cathartic and in vigorating medicinal properties in California fruits, II. B. Slaven is a skilled pharmaceutist, and after years of careiul study as an analytical chemist has perfected several very valuable medicinal discoveries, which are now world wide in their use and very popular, but none are to be compared for intrinsic merit to the CALIFORNIA FRL'IT SALT. The Examiuer fully indorses all that has been said relative to this essence of our ripe California fruit. It is meeting with a most hearty welcome from all portions of the coast where it has been iutioduced. In Panama, Central America and South America it is used very generally, its health-giving and invigora'iong properties being highly appreciated, particularly in the tropics. In conclusion, we might state that as a family medicine it is incomparable, and its use seems invariably to bo attended with the most gratify ing of results. It is a sovereign remedy for headache, constipation and dyspepsia. As a blood purifier its effects arc marked: its action on the kidneys is an excellent one; it cleanses and reinvigorates the liver, and toward all the organs of the body its tendency is to restore them to a condition of public health. Each half-pound bottle of the Fruit Salt contains about forty doses and its price is nominal, putting this excellent remedy within the reach of all. Iu fine, this discovery of II. B. Slaven is one of the grandest triumphs of California skill, and while it is, as he richly deserves it to be, pecun iarily beneficial to its discoverer, it is certainly a laurel upon the brow of our young State, being a California discovery and manufactured entirely from the lu.scious. ripe fruits of our Golden State, That If you are In want of tb'irjughlr reltahte Informa tion about the resources of i iregon, Washington, Idaho and Montana, and the Paciflc .N'orihwettt In general, you should at once A ha:idsomey illustrated and ably conducted twenty four page publication now entering ITS KISmi SUCCRISFUr.
