■Strong, tender hands, fond hands!
Such willing hands they never rest;
So patient, ever on the quest
For loving service. Hands that know
Soft ways of soothing pain and woe,
True, loving, faithful hands!
Old, feeble hands, dear hands!
Soft folded they await the will
That soon shall bid them lie more still.
Frail hands just strong enough to bloss;
Pure hands that slip from our caress
To knock at heaven—dear hands!

A THIEF IN THE NIGHT.
There was a large party at the Cha¬
teau de Kerdall, near Vannes.
The Marquis do Kerdall and his
young wife had just returned from a
tour of the world on their yacht, dur¬
ing which they had paid flying visits
to Africa, America and Oceanica, and
they had celebrated their home-com¬
ing by gathering together all their
friends and relatives at their beautiful
country house.
Among the guests was old Dr. Cor
nabuc, an illustrious member of the
Academy of Metaphysical Sciences,
so original, so absent-minded, so ven¬
erable in his blonde peruke and his
costume of the fashion of 1850.
Then there wks Mme. de Lartigues,
an old school friend of the Marquise,
a brilliant and coquettish Parisienne.
And there was Miss Hawthorne, an
English maiden lady with youthful
propensities. And there were many
others, all of whom found plenty of
amusement to their heart’s content at
Kerdall.
Outside of the ordinary pleasures
of life, there were some unusual at¬
tractions. In the first place the host
and hostess had seen and experienced
so much that was novel and startling
that their conversation was always
fascinating. Then the rooms of the
castle constituted a veritable museum,
being stocked with rare and curious
objects from two continents, And,
finally, a menagerie had been created
in one corner of the park and stocked
with the various animals which M. do
Kerdall had picked up during the
voyage and brought back to France
for purposes of acclimatization. There
were gazelles, antelopes, Thibet goats,
Nile ibises, rose flamingoes, opossums,
beavers and an Asiatic ape of the
mandrill species, as mild as a lamb,
but as mischievous as all his kind. An
iron-lattice cage had been built for
him close to the conservatory.
As will be seen, the Chateau de Ker¬
dall was a veritable Eden, but this fact
did not prevent little Mme. de Lar¬
tigues from dreading the isolated posi¬
tion of the place among the wide ex¬
panse of woods and fields.
“I should be afraid to live here all
the year round,” she said.
“/ fraid of what, my dear?” asked
the Marquise.
“Oh, of robbers; they would fairly
revel here. ”
Robbers! In this mansion filled to
the eaves with guests and servants!
Everybody mocked at the young wo¬
man, and old Dr. Cornabuc told hor¬
rible stories about burglars and as¬
sassins until Mme. de Lartigues,
ashamed of her chimerical fears, was
the first to laugh, and when the re¬
tiring hour came, she mounted to her
sleeping apartment on the second
floor supplied with a goodly stock of
heroism. Within a short time all the
occupants of the chateau were in the
land of dreams.
How long Mme. de Lartigues slept
she knew not She was awakened by
a rattling at her window, which she
had left half opened on account of
the heat.
That was her terror when, in the
tie starlight, she saw a form climb
selessly through the window. She
ti ii to scream, but her throat was
parched with fright, and she could
not utter a sound.
THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE IS THE 8UPHEME LAW.
FORT GAINES, GA., FRIDAY. MARCH 2!>. 1895.
The man had entered the chamber.
Then the poor woman buried her head
beneath the bedclothing. Half dead
with fear, she could hear her noctur¬
nal visitor going and coming across
the carpet with muffled steps. It
seemed as though ho must have re¬
moved his shoes in order to tread
softly. and
Bathed with cold perspiration
her teeth chattering she awaited tho
mortal blow from the invader. But it
did not come.
After about a quarter of an hour
she timidly peeped out. She could
see and hear nothing. Slightly re¬
assured she recovered the use of her
voice, and started a series of shrieks,
so sharp, piercing, and terriblo that in
an instant tho entiro chateau was
turned topsy-turvy. Everybody rush¬
ed into her chamber with lights in
their hands, M. and Mme. Kerdall at
the head.
“What is it? What’s tho matter?”
they cried.
She recounted her horrible vision.
They would not believe her; she had
been dreaming. Who could havo
climbed into this chamber, so high
above the ground, without a ladder?
“Did you see him plainly?” asked
the Marquis, with a touch of suspi¬
cion in his voice.
* ‘As plainly as I see you; and it
even seemed---” She hesitated.
“What?”
“It seemed as though I could re
cognizo Dr. Cornabuc in his blonde
wig and redingote..”
Everybody laughed. What! Dr.
Cornabuc! A man of his ago and
character scaling windows at mid¬
night ! It was certain now that Mme.
de Lartigues had been dreaming.
They tried to dissipate her fear, and
she was just about to persuade her¬
self that she had been the victim of
an hallucination, when she hap¬
pened to cast her eyes upon the bur¬
eau, where she had left her jewels.
They were gone! It had truly been
a robber!
The laughing suddenly ceased, and
they looked at one another in con¬
sternation.
All at once another cry was heard,
a piercing shriek coming through the
stillness of the night. It appeared to
emanate from Miss Hawthorne’s
chamber. There was a rush for her
apartment, and the English lady was
found standing in the middle of the
room, with frightened eyes.
“There! there !” she cried, pointing
to the window. “A man! He escaped,
but I recognized him. ”
“Who was it?”
“Dr. Cornabuc!”
The doctor again! This time no¬
body laughed. Cornabuc was looked
for among the persons who had been
attracted by the excitement; but he
was not there. He was the only occu¬
pant of the chateau who was missing.
“Come let us go to the doctor’s
room,” said the Marquis, knitting his
brows. “He will doubtless solve the
mystery for us.”
All followed Kerdall—ths men
carrying candles a weird procession.
Upon the entrance of the crowd,
the doctor hurriedly wrapped himself
in the bedclothes, his wrinkled coun¬
tenance alone being visible over the
top, and this convulsed by anger into
a comical grimace. The candle-light
was reflected from his bald pate,
which shone like old ivory.
“Is this some ill-timed joke?” he
stormed. “What is going on? Is the
chateau on fire? I heard a terrible
outcry, and was just about to inquire
into it.”
“You must come and join us doc¬
tor,” said Kerdall.
“And how shall I do it?” cried the
doctor, furiously. “Some rascal has
run off with my clothing, and in ex¬
change he has left me this,” and he
savagely hurled a white object into
the middle of the room.
“My cloak!” murmured Miss Haw¬
thorne.
“And this!” continued th^ doctor,
wildly brandishing another article.
“My hat!” cried Mme. 410 Lar¬
tigues.
“This raillery passes all bounds,”
howled the doctor, whoso shining
head, with ouo final grimace, ducked
beneath tho bed clothing, 'like tho
clown going through a trap door in
the marrionetto theatre.
They know not what to think. Tho
mystery was growing mori compli¬
cated. It certainly looked as though
a robber had entered the chateau—
perhaps a whole band of burglars and
assassins. Mme. do Lartigues imagined
a troop of brigands armed to tho
teeth.
Suddenly a strange sound was
heard coming from tho ground floor.
It was certainly tho piano in tho re¬
ception salon, but it was surely being
played by goblin fingers, and so
furiously that it seemed as though tho
keys must bo broken.
“This is too much!” cried tho Mar¬
quis, rushing toward tho staircase,
with all the crowd, excepting Dr.
Cornabuc, close behind him.
They hastily penetrated tho salon.
It was empty. Tho mysterious visitor
was gone, but ho could not bo far
away. The crash of china aifd glass
announced his presence in the dining
room. .
Everybody rushed thither, and tho
Marquis, who was in tho lead, dimly
saw a form esc« : ng through tho win¬
dow into the g x don.
“This time we’ve got him!” ho
cried.
The men seized guns and knives
from a hunting rack in the veatiblile,
and started across the garden and
park in pursuit of the fugitive, while tho
women barricaded themselves in tho
salon and anxiously awaited tho result
of the chase.
It was about an hour later, in tho
uncertain light which precedes the
rising of the sun, that a servant dis¬
covered tho mysterious stranger en¬
sconced among the branches of a
large oak. At his call tho Marquis
and his guests hastened to the spot.
“Come down !” commanded M. do
Kerdall, but the bandit only settled
himself deeper among tho foliage and
made no response.
“Come down, or I will shoot!”
And, as there was still no reply, ho
lifted his gun, and already hud his
finger upon the trigger, when tho do¬
mestic hurriedly pulled his arm, ant!
said:
“Do not fire, monsieur. It is Dr.
Cornabuc!”
And sure enough, tho blonde wig
and long redingote could now be seen
among tho leaves.
But at this moment the first ray of
sunlight gleamed in from the east and
the oak was illuminated. The Mar¬
quis suddenly broke into a fit of ex¬
plosive laughter, and, as his guests
gazed up into the tree, they could not
keep from following his example.
“The ape!”
Everything was explained, Tho
animal had escaped from his cage the
previous evening and had managed to
effect an entrance into the chateau.
Animated by his instinct of imitation,
he had first attired himself in the doc¬
tor’s effects and then wandered over
the house at his own free will.
He was put back into his prison af¬
ter some little trouble, and at break¬
fast the party enjoyed a hearty laugh
at the adventures of the night.
But Dr. Cornabuc did not appear at
the table. He left the chateau at an
early hour, furious and without taking
leave.
Since this episode he has never set
foot at Kerdall, and he has never lost
a feeling of deep antipathy to Mme.
de Lartigues and Miss Hawthorne.
“How could they have mixed me up
with a monkey?” he wants to know.—

Boors Made of Glass. I
Two Boston iuvoutors havo scoured
n patent for a process of making glass
veneers which havo many peculiar
properties, This invention relates
primarily to tho production of orna¬
mental glass, which may bo eitkor
K.uni semi trmiKimrcnt tiausparent or 01 onanuc opaque, and ami is is
made to ropreseut highly-polished
wood of any description. It is in¬
tended to be applicable for veneering
wherever required, and particularly ...
is
adapted for vestibule and other doors,
the exterior of the glass having the
appearance of highly polished wood,
while in tho interior of lho houso it
will appear semi-transparent. In car¬
rying the invention into practice, a
sheet of ground or plain glass is taken
of any desirod size and clouded tho
same on one sido with a liquid dye of
the proper color to represent any
desired wood which dye is applied by
means of a sponge for delineating the
grain of tho wood so as to appear
upon the surface of tho glass. The
shading is softened by means of a
badger brush. Photographers’ varnish
is then caused to ilow on the glass, and
leaves the grain clear and fast without
the necessity of using any gelatinous
substance, which would render it lia¬
ble to crack and spoil tho effect. To
complete ilio operation the glass is
then slightly heated, and tho varied
shades of dyes required for the partic¬
ular wood to be represented aro
caused to How over it by means of a
syringo. The glass is heated in order
to prevent tho shadings from merging
into each other. Tho whole is then
made semi-transparent by upplying
another coat of photographers’ var¬
nish, so as to prevent tho dyes from
being effaced, while tho exterior sur¬
face presents tho appearance of a
highly-polished solid wood finish.—

The Supply of New Books.
The Publishers’ Circular lias been
making up its census of new books for
the year... The results are rather ap¬
palling. “Novels, tales and other fic¬
tion” account for 1,315 new books, not
to mention 337 new editions of older
stories and 2!)(> “juvenile works and
tales.” Fancy that! Four new novels
for every working day in tho year and
one new novel every Sunday! Who
writes them all, and who—but per¬
haps tho authors could help 11 s to
answer that question--reads them?
Next to the novels and tales come tho
educational works, which aro increas¬
ing, and then sermons and theology.
History, geography, art and travels
are “firm,” as they say on tho Btock
Exchange, but not advancing; belles
lettres, social philosophy, law and
economics going up steadily. On tho
whole, 5,300 new books were issued in
the year—which, after all, is only one
among every 7,000 of us or so.—St.
James Gazette.
Bed Snowbanks.
One of tho most conspicuous land¬
marks, or, rather, snowmarks, in the
whole of the arctic regions is the red
snowbanks discovered near Cape York,
Greenland, by Captain John Boss in
the year 1818. For miles and miles
the hills are covered with snow that is
as red as though it had been saturated
with blood. Lieutenant Greeley, who
visited that region while on his famous
arctic expedition, rnicroscopicuily ex¬
amined these blood-stained cliffs and
reports the color due to a minute or¬
ganism which he calls Protococem
nivalis.—Chicago Herald.

Caldwell, N. J., March 26, 1805.—(Special.)
~ 1om l>f our P™miuont citizens f
f or «d so terribly from tobaoco tremens, has
made known his frightful experience in be¬
half of humanity, the ladles here are making
tobacoo-uslng husbands’ lives miserable with
their entreaties to at once quit tobacco.
The written statement of S. J. Gould is
attracting wide-spread attention. When
Interviewed to-night he said : “ 1 commenced
using tobacco at thirteen; I am now forty
nine; so, for thirty-six years I chewed,
smoked, I snuffed and before rubbed 1 snuff. In t’ne
morning chewed, used put my pants on,
and for a long time 1 two ounces of
chewing and eight ounces of smoking a day.
Sometimes I had n ohew in both checks and
a pipe In my mouth at once Ten years ago
I quit drinking whiskey. I triod to stop to¬
bacco limn and again, but could not. My
nerves craved nicotine and I fod them till
my skin turned a tobupco-brown, cold sticky
perspiration oozed from my skin, and
trickled down my back at the least exer¬
tion or excitement. My nerve vigor and
my life was being slowly sapped. I made up
my mind that 1 had to quit tobacco or die.
On suffered October 1 I stopped, of and for three days
i the tortures the damned. On
the third day I got so bad that my partner
accused mo of being drunk. I said, ‘No, I
have quit tobacco.’ ‘For God’s sake, man,’
be said, offering me bis tobacco box, ‘take a
chew; you will go wild; - and I was wild.
Tobacco was forced into me and I was taken
homo dazed. I saw double and my memory
was beyond control, but I I still knew how to
ohow and smoke, wiiicli did all day, until
toward night, when my system got tobacco*
mrnked again. Tho next morning I looked
and felt as t hough I had boon through a long
spoil of sickness. could I gave up irt despair, as I
thought that I not cure myself. Now.
for suffering humanity. I’ll tell what saved
my llle. Providence evidently answered my
god a wife’s prayers and brought to her at¬
tention in our paper an article which read:
‘Don’t Tobacco bplt and Smoko Your Life
Away!’
“What a sermon and warning in these
wonls! Just what I was doing. It told
about a guaranteed cure for tho tobacco
Imbit, called No-To-Bae. I sent to Druggist
Hosier for a box. Without a grain of faith
I spit out my little tobacco cud, and put into my
mouth a tablet upon which was
stamped No-To-Bae. I know it sounds like
a lie when I toll you that I took eight tablets
tlie first day, seven the next, five the third
day, and ail the nerve-creeping feeling, rest¬
lessness ami mental depression was gone. It
was too good to be true. It seemed like a
dream. That was a month ago. I used one
box. It cost me one dollar, and it is worth
a thousand. I gained ten pounds in weight
and Inst all desire for tobacco the drat day.
I sleep and eat well, and I I have toll. bean bene¬
fited in more ways than can No, the
cure was people no exception in my case. I know
of ton right here in Caldwell who
have bought no No-To-Bae from Hosier, aud
they have been cured. Now that I realize
what No-To-Bae has done for me aud others,
I know wliy it is that the makers of this
wonderful remedy, the Sterling Bemedy
Company, of New York and Chicago,
say: ‘Wo don’t claim to cure
every case. That’s Fraud’s talk, a lie, but
wo do guarantee throe boxes to cure the to¬
bacco habit, and in case of failure wu are
porfeetly willing to refund money.’ I would
not give a public indorsement if I wore not
certain of its reliability, i know it is backed
by men worth a million. No-To-Bae lias
been u Ood-send to me, and I iirmly believe
it will cure any ease of tobacco using if faith¬
fully tried, and there are thousands of to¬
bacco slaves who ought to know how easy it
is to get free. There’s happiness in No-To
Bae I did forthe that prematurely they old old and men, who think when
as the are that destroys worn out, vital¬
tobacco is thing their
ity and manhood.”
The public should of be warned, however,
against the purchase any of the many imi¬
tations on the market, as the success of No
To-Boc has brought forth a host of counter¬
feiters and imitators. The genuine No-To
Bac is sold under a guarantee to cure, by all
druggists, and every tablet has the word No
To-Bac plainly stamped thereon, uud vou
run no physical or financial risk in purchas¬
ing the genuine article.
