"I love him

Lady Peggy stood by her mirror
thinking about a cabinet minister,
Then site brushed back the strands
of curly brown hair that never Ion
kept the decorous temple waves Into
which her maid trained them, and add
ed, in her thoughts :
"Other girls marry boys, or ordinary
menfolk, and are happy enough, I sup
pose; I've forfeited all that sort of
prospect by caring for Lord Montlel
Ukmi; but I'm glad, and proud not
sorry !"
The last two mental words were ac
companled by a stamp of a small right
foot ; then Lady Peggy tripled down
stairs Into the hall, a triumph of sweet
ness, complexion and pink chiffon.
She patted her mother's knee as they

Lady Melrose sighed.
Directly they entered the ballroom
Pegjry saw Ird Montleithon ; he was
bonding over cynical Mrs. Groombrldge
and ' the expression on his clear-cut
features was, as usual, enigmatic.
Tlie minister, looking up, saw the en
try of the girl in pink chiffon. For a
second Ills gaze lingered well pleased,
then lie frownd. Nevertheless, he came
to talk to her Inter.
frank smile greeted him.
"You are wonderful. How can you
spare time for scenes of this sort?"
"I have a boy's liking for pretty pic
tures." Then the minute ruchings on her
sleeve puffs caught his eye, banishing
his Indulgent smile.
"Sometimes my favorite crusade my
cra7A', as my colleagues call It can be
furthered even In a ballroom. Let me
ask you are you a sympathizer?"
"With poor working women?"
-Yes."
"I would be. If I knew what to do;
mere sentiments are not real sympathy.
I only play with children some Satur
day afternoons and make woolly anl-
jmals for hospitals. Oh, It's so difficult
to te pnnaniuropio, w neu one is poor.
Lord Montleithon:"
He placed her hand on his arm, and
led her out Into the dimly lighted cor
ridor. It was a lace-edged frill he touched.
"No, not at all ; It was a bargain."
"My afternoon has been spent In get
ting up facts for the commission down
In Iambeth slums, face to face with the
results of bargains. Yet, but for wom

SAND AS A SUBSTITUTE FOU ICE.
Bedouins that wander in the destrt have -many rough and uncouth ways,
but perhaps the most unique of these Is the way they doctor fever patients.
They have a rough and ready method of attempting to cure fever caused by
the wounds they have inflicted on those they have captured for sale as slaves.
Ice baths being out of the question, the patients are buried up to their necks
in sand in the hope that the cool soil will allay the raging fever. The victims
remain buried for several days until, indeed.'it is said they are either killed
or cured. Statistics obtained by those who have investigated the matter say
that fully 80 per cent of the prisoners succumb to the treatment. The use
of medicines is almost unknown among the tribesmen who Inhabit the deserts.
"Misquotations."
I When Louis XVI. laid his head be
neath tho guillotine, his confessor,
Abbe Edgeworth, dismissed him from
the world, so history tolls, Vlth "Son
of Saint Louis, ascend to heaven !" yet
! In reality he said nothing of the sort.
The brave defiance, "The guard dies,
but never surrenders," attributed to
Carnbronne when, at Waterloo, the Im
perial guard were ordered to throw
down their arms, has been shown to
have been the fanciful creation of some
historian's mind; and the saying,
"Providence favors the stronger side,"
or, as It has been corrupted, "God is on
the side with the heaviest artillery,"
which has been attributed to Napoleon,
really originated with writers of an
tiquity. Cicero alludes to It aa an "old
proverb."
It would take volumes to contain all
the blunders, small, large and Indif
ferent, that historians have made, and
the lamentable part of it is that the
old blunders are constantly being made
over again.
Carrying It Alonsr.
An elderly and most respectable
looking man was recently brought be
fore a magistrate, says the London
Telegraph, charged with unbecoming
and hilarious conduct.
When he was asked what he had to
say for himself, he mumbled something
about "doing as the Romans do."
"Very good," returned the magis
trate. "Continue to do as the Romans
do. Pay seven shillings sixpence!"

ment even In the calm upper chamber,
went deep into the soul of Peggy.
"Teach me," she pleaded.
"I found a woman ill, probably dy
ing, of low fever merely a nerve col
lapse, brought on by worry acting uion
an emaciated body and brain; her baby
girls were playing on her mattress with
old tins snatched from some gutter.
She told me she had dropped down
suddenly, after finishing the last of
half a dozen chiffon robes. A message
had come for them, but she could not
go for payment."
Peggy gasped.
"The wage would represent not a
farthing a score of tucks, yet some of
this was to be deducted, since, her baby
having died, she had let tears fall upon
a frill of chiffon."
Peggy caught his arm with both her
hands.
"Who were her employers?"
"Messrs. Oakley & Lemereier."
She gave a cry, and the minister un
derstood.
Breaking away from him she leaned
against a pillar, beneath a bust of jus
tice, and there she sobbed, In school
girl-like abandon.
The minister did not forget the wear
er of the pink chiffon; her sweet, tear
ful face came between his thoughts
and nil statistics. Once, indeed, he con
temptuously thrust away the profound
figure proofs that were to convince his
colleagues of the necessity for legis
lation.
"It is woman's soul that must win
this cause or crush It," was his re
flection.
When he next visited the woman of
whose case he had spoken there was a
fire In the room, the baby girls played
with dolls, the mother sat up In bed,
supported by the strong, young arms
of a girl, the descendant of kings, who
had nursed her back to life.
"Lady Peggy!"
"Oh, my lord, she be an angel of
goodness !"
The girl and man came out of the
house together Into the squalid alley.
Ixtrd Montleithon had a cab waiting,
and bellied her In without a word. In
deed, the scene had changed to Bond
street before he asked :
"We siK)ke of tears and misery, but
you have created smiles within that
home Is there the remotest hoie that
you will smile for me, In mine, Peggy?"
"Do you truly wish so?"
It did not seem to him so unnatural
a desire.
"I am an awful number of years
your elder a serious enthusiast but I
love you, dear."
"How beautiful for I lost my heart
to you, oh, long ago!"

BIT OF SWITZERLAND IN IOWA.
tb
Ragged Beauty of a Home on
Blnffa of the Mlaslaalppl.
One of the most picturesque spots In
the vicinity of Burlington, and proba
bly in all Iowa and the Mississippi val
ley, is the Seholer home, says the Bur
lington Correspondent of the Des
Moines Register. It is known far and
wide as the "Swiss chalet," and is in
fact a perfectly constructed Swiss
dwelling place. In every detail the
idea Is carried out in the unique dwell
Ing, not only on the exterior, but with
in, where those who have visited Swit
zerland and been entertained In the
homes of that country may see that
same arrangement of rooms and conve
niences as In the original structures
among the Alps.
Mr. Seholer, who was born in Swit
zerland, and received a good education
In the institutions of that country, came
to Burlington fifty-three years ago, and
bringing with him an intense affection
for the rugged fatherland sought to
maintain the Inspiration in his sur
roundings. He selected one of the most
ruggeu portions or laud just south of
Burlington at that time, and on the
steep side, overlooking the broad ex
panse of the Mississippi River, he erect
ed the Swiss home. He did not dis
turb the wild surroundings of the place
except to tidy it up in the good old
Swiss way, and to train some vines
around the house.
To-day it presents the same rugged
and natural beauty that attracted the
eye of the mountain climber fifty-three
years ago, and Is oue of the pleasantest
views to be obtained from the brow of
Crapo Tark. Indeed, from the most
frequented spots in the park this beau
tiful old home appears like a picture
of Switzerland, with the sweep of the
river beyond appearing as one of the
beautiful Swiss lakes. Mr. Seholer died
the other day full of years and good
works and possessing the regard of all
those who knew him. He left his pic
turesque home to his sons, and It will
long remain as one of the attractive
features of this locality.

A Fine Discrimination.
A Chicago lawyer tells how the most
popular man In a Nevada town got into
diliiculty with a disreputable tough
for a long time the terror of the place
and proceeded to "do him up" in a
manner entirely satisfactory to the
community at large. It becoming nec
essary, however, to vindicate the ma
jesty of the law, the offender was
brought up for trial on the charge of
assault with Intent to kill. The case
soon went to the Jury. When they had
beeu out about two minutes they re
turned.
"Well, gentlemen of the Jury," asked
the Judge in a familiar, off-hand way.
"what have you to say?"
"If it please the court," responded
the foreman, "we, the Jury, find that
the prisoner Is not guilty of strikin'
with intent to kill, but simply to par
alyze, an he done It."
So the prisoner was acquitted amid
applause. Lippineott's.

The Osprey.
Allusion is often made, especially in
fashion journals, to "osprey" feathers.
Few words have been more loosely
bandied n'.jout than this bird name.
The Roman author Pliny's "ossifraga"
(bone breaker) has been identified
with the lamniergej-er, a vulture that
is reputed to break up bones too big
for it to devour whole by dropping
them from a height upon rocks. But
both "ossifrage" and "osprey," a newer
form, came to be applied to quite an
other bird, the fish hawk, which is
now the true "osprey." Yet the "os
prey" feathers more properly egret
feathers, or aigrettes do not come
from this bird, but from the egret, or
lesser whir heron.

SKIM DISEASES
HUMORS IN THE BLOOD
When the blood is pure, fresh and hcalthv. the skin will be soft, smooth
and free from blemishes, but when some acid humor takes root in the circu
lation its presence is manifested by a skin eruption or disease. These
humors get into the blood, generally because of an inactive or sluggish
condition of the members of the body whose duty it is to collect and carry
off the waste and refuse matter of the system. This unhealthy matter is left
to pour and ferment and soon the circulation becomes charged with the aciJ
poison. The blood beq-ins to throw off the humors and acids through the
pores and glands of the skin, producing Eczema, Acne, Tetter, Psoriasis,
Salt Rheum and skin eruptions of various kinds. Eczema aDDears. usuallv
with a slight redness of the skin followed by pustules from which there
liows a sticky Hum that dries and forms a crust, and the itching is intense.
It is generally on the back, breast, face, arras and legs, though other parts
of the body may be aflccted. In Tetter the skin dries, cracks and bleeds ;
