A SOUVENIR. I found them in a book last night, These withered violets, A token of that early love That no man e'er forgets. Pressed carefully between the leaves, They keep their color still. I cannot look at them today Without an old time thrill. Ah, me, what tricks does memory play! The passing years have fled And hopes that lived in vigor once, Alas! have long been dead. And this is all that I can say, When all is said and done, Those flowers remind me of some girl— I wish I knew which one! —Exchange. AN AMANA ROMANCE. What led Herr Schweppe to join the Amanites no one knew but the elders. The Amanites did not gossip about it. They were not given to gossiping about anything. Work, duty, God—these were all their thoughts. But the visitors to the close lying Amana villages seldom failed to notice that Herr Schweppe was a gentleman and to wonder how he came to join the Amanites, with their plain clothes and their lives of toil. The mystery was hid in the looks of the elders. There was once a visitor who claimed that he had had a glimpse of the page and saw "Bismarck" written twice on Herr Schweppe's record. The name was "Von Schweppe," too, this visitor said, though it was only Schweppe now. Be that as it may, Herr Schweppe's daughter Annie bore the traits of noble German birth. She was a dark hairred, dark eyed maid, appearing among the other girls of the community like a bit of Sevres ware surrounded by pieces of useful but homely plain white china. Little did the thrifty, godly Amanites care for such beauty. In Amana a yard of blue calico was accounted as worth far more than a dimple. The sorrows of exile killed Herr Schweppe when Annie was a child, before she had grown so beautiful. Annie had never seen a mirror, and no one told her of her beauty. Her mother gloated over it in secret. She loved Annie far better than the elders would have sanctioned, but when the child was near she was silent and cold. The life of repression had had its effect on poor Mother Schweppe. tor come to Mother Schweppe's cottage next day, asking for her famous wine for his patients? "Knowest thou not I have disposed of it long before this time?" cried Mother Schweppe. "I thought perhaps thou mightst be making it again," faltered Hermann. "Make wine in June? What sort of a man!" And Mother Schweppe laughed loudly and unmelodiously, much as one of her cabbages might have laughed. And while her dull eyes were closed in mirth Hermann crushed into Annie's hand a bit of paper, and Annie, child though she was, hid herself among the grapevines before she dared to open it. "Thou art most beautiful! I love thee." That was all. After that it was easy for Annie to climb down by the grapevine from her window, and once she went alone with Hermann far down the solitary railroad track. But Madge loved Hermann, too, in her way, and, being jealous, she told Annie's mother. The next day the elders came to Mother Schweppe's house. No one smiled, and the interview was full of long silences. Annie was taken down the street, an elder in front of her and an elder behind her: They put her in a house, far away from her mother, and gave her a double portion of work. Hermann, too, was taken to a cloister, though he want laughing. Six months' separation, six months' fasting, prayer and hard work was required, and if after that ordeal the two still wished to be married the elders would consider the matter. A week passed. Hermann and Annie had sat in their places at the morning service, and it chanced that they, with meekly folded hands, emerged from the two doors of the church at the same moment. Suddenly each one advanced to the other; they met and walked away together. The elders were so astounded that for a moment no one could speak. There had never been such an audacious breach of the rules. Even the most venrable members of the community were dumfounded. The whistle of an approaching train awoke them all to action. "Disobedience!" the chief elder cried, and all the elders hurried down the street to the railway station. Here they found Hermann and Annie, impenitent and defiant. There was a brief storm of angry torment come to Mother Schweppe's cottage next day, asking for her famous wine for his patients?

Her mother gloated over it in secret. She loved Annie far better than the elders would have sanctioned, but when the child was near she was silent and cold. The life of repression had had its effect on poor Mother Schweppe. In Amana the, elders discouraged lovemaking. Men and women entered the church by different doors, and a line of sawdust box cuspidors marked off the men's side of the house. But among the girls at the Amana gasthans were two persons who did not have the law of Amana in their hearts. They were not Amana girls, but came from outside, for no Amanite would have permitted his daughter to be subjected to the gaze of the strangers in the gasthaus. It was Madge and Nora, alas, who put all the mischief into Annie's mind. June moonlight was falling over the yellow wheatfields, and the fragrance of grapevine blossoms on the wall half intoxicated Annie as she leaned out of the small, square window next the slanting roof of her mother's cottage. It was while Annie was still thinking of the land that might lie outside of Amana that Madge and Nora came along and asked her to go with them to their party. And Annie stole away and went. A ghostly little party it was, of Madge and Nora and Annie and only three others in the hotel kitchen, but as they sat in the glare of the oil lamp reflector it seemed to Annie the wildest dissipation. Two sheepish young Amanites slouched on the bench at one side of the kitchen, nervously pulling their straw hats over their faces if any one glanced at them. The third young man was entirely unlike these. Annie, big eyed and timorous, gazed at him in wonder. He wore such clothes as fitted him. His ruddy hair was brushed back from his ears, not over them, in the fashion of the Amanites. His face was clean shaven, his figure lithe and sinewy, and his merry eyes roved hither and thither while he regaled the company with music. It was a month organ which he played, but no matter. To Annie it was heavenly. She had never before heard music of any kind, for the Amanites attached a penalty even to whistling. Suddenly Annie was trembling and sobbing, and the player, conscience smitten, ceased his melody. He was not a great stranger to her, as Annie had thought. He had not so very many years ago worn the blue jean and straw hats of the community. He was none other than Hermann, the son of Herr Tappan, whom Annie had often seen in church when a child. The community had permitted Herr Tappan to send his son away to a college, for Hermann was to be the physician of the community, their Herr Doctor, as they called him. Hermann understood the timidity of Annie. He too, had once been restrained till all his thoughts were sadness. He bade the girls take her at once to watch her two doors of the church at the same moment. Suddenly each one advanced to the other; they met and walked away together. The elders were so astounded that for a moment no one could speak. There had never been such an audacious breach of the rules. Even the most venerable members of the community were dumfounded. The whistle of an approaching train awoke them all to action. "Disobedience!" the chief elder cried, and all the elders hurried down the street to the railway station. Here they found Hermann and Annie, impenetent and defiant. There was a brief storm of angry words. "We give you but one year to consider," said the long faced chief elder. "You may never show your faces here again if you come not back within the year." "Thon, Hermann, leaveest thy aged father, and thou, Annie, thy mother," said another, more kindly. Annie looked down at her blue calico gown and her rough shoes. "What have they done for us?" she cried. They ascended the steps of the car. "Give them goodby!" called Hermann petulantly. "We come back no more." And the train pulled away. "All the world loves a lover," said Herr Tappan to Mother Schweppe sadly, "but the lover loves one but himself and his sweetheart." So Hermann and Annie went to the city. They were happy, and there seemed to be no ghosts at their fireside. "Father and mother think more of their carrots than they do of us," they would say merrily when they spoke of Amana at all. In May their baby was born. He was a beautiful child, and Hermann and Annie never tired of watching him. Hermann could scarcely tear himself away from baby to attend his patients. Contagious diseases he refused to treat. Baby might catch them. Annie's face grew softer as she looked at the child. For hours they would amuse themselves watching him clasp a lead pencil in his chubby fingers. They cut off a lock of his baby hair and saved it in the Bible. "Whom does the baby look like, Annie?" asked Hermann carelessly one day. "Like you did when you were a baby, I suppose," answered Annie gayly. Suddenly a startled look came into her eyes. The thought came to Hermann at the same moment. He dropped on his knees before the child. "Did they think of me as we think of our baby?" he whispered. Annie was sobbing. "God may yet forgive us," she cried. "The year is not ended. We may still return." The good God had not ended Mother Schweppe's life. Herr Tappan, too, was still trudging among his vegetables when Hermann and Annie came back. "It would have been a year tomorrow already," Herr Tappan said stolidly, but his withered lips went trembling, and he embraced Hermann and Annie and blessed them. And Mother Schweppe paddled back to her cellar with a sly smile, returning full handed. "I have all this time since last autumn kept six bottles of wine for thee, Hermann," she said—Julia Crawford Underwood in St. Louis Globe-Democrat. "That would be heaven on my fellow men," and then with a humorous solemnity: say now, when Robert Ingersoll whether he goes to heaven or I wish him joy!" It is an old story that I have many times, but the death of the agnostic makes it new again. When Ingersoll was thrilling ences with his great lecture onert Burns,” Beecher went to Chicago. At the Palmer he asked him how he liked it. "It was a wonderful entertainment said Beecher." He held his eyes every minute. He is a great man and I should like to write his e-mail. "What would you write?" I said Oh,” said Beecher, as he has two front fingers on his brow, “it would be a short epilogue would simply be: "ROBERT BURNS."

The community had permitted Herr Tappan to send his son away to a college, for Hermann was to be the physician of the community, their Herr Doctor, as they called him. Hermann understood the timidity of Annie. He too, had once been restrained till all his thoughts were sadness. He bade the girls take her at once to her mother's cottage, and he watched them all till Annie had disappeared through the window. But why should the young Herr Doc FEMALE MAIL. That sounds more contradictory than it is, when attention is called to its being a description of the largest mail received by any man in the United States exclusively from women. This "female mail" is received by Dr. R. V. Pierce, the celebrated specialist in women's diseases, chief consulting physician to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N.Y. It is only fair to say that it is not the man that women write to, but the doctor. One of the remarkable features of this correspondence is that years after a cure has been effected, grateful women continue to write to Dr. Pierce, being thankful for health and for the kind and fatherly advice, which was blended with the physician's counsel, and which was so helpful in preserving the health when regained. The offer of a free consultation by letter is extended by Dr. Pierce to every sick and ailing woman. Every letter received is read in private, answered in private and its contents treated as a sacred confidence. To exclude any third party from the correspondence, all answers are mailed in a plain envelope, bearing upon it no printing or advertising whatever. Address Dr. R. V. Pierce, Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N.Y. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, the great remedy for female troubles, irregularities, debilitating drains, inflammation and ulceration, is for sale by all dealers in medicine. Accept no substitute which may be recommended as "just as good" that the dealer may make a little extra profit. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription makes Weak Women Strong and Sick Women Well. The good God had not ended Mother Schweppe's life. Herr Tappan, too, was still trudging among his vegetables when Hermann and Annie came back. "It would have been a year tomorrow already," Herr Tappan said stolidly, but his withered lips went trembling, and he embraced Hermann and Annie and blessed them. And Mother Schweppe paddled back to her cellar with a sly smile, returning full handed. "I have all this time since last autumn kept six bottles of wine for thee, Hermann," she said.—Julia Crawford Underwood in St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Her Sweet Mistake. A short time since the daughter of a millionaire drove up to the door of a jeweler's shop, went in and selected a turquoise and diamond ring valued at $250. She made out her check for that sum and passed it to the proprietor who glanced at it and then looked inquiringly up at the young lady and said, "There is some mistake here. I think." The young lady flushed and asked if the check was not for the right amount. She was told it was, but— "But what?" she exclaimed frigidly. "Do you mean that my check is not acceptable?" The jeweler acknowledged that he knew quite well who the young lady was, but explained that the check was not made out just as it should be, and he handed it back. The girl ran her eye over it and then turned a deep crimson. "Oh!" she exclaimed, "I see!" Then she proceeded to make out another check. She had signed the first one. "Your own sweetheart, Jessie." A Race of Tailed Men. Africa is a continent rich in tailed men myths. There is supposed to be a caudate race of pygmies somewhere in the uplands of Abyssinia. The Main-Mains are a celebrated case. A good many years ago the French government dispatched a M. Descouret with instructions to explore some of the least known parts of Africa and to ascertain the exact degree of truth in the various stories about the Main-Mains. He describes the people as being mostly under five feet in height, ill proportioned, thin, weak and ugly, with short, woolly hair and with an external elongation of the vertebral column, which he says, "in every individual, male or female, forms a tail two or three inches long."—Medical Record.

NEEDDOTES OF INGERSOLL. Perkins Gives Some Reminiscences—UP ON THE FARM AT EATON, N. Y., July 24.—When I was writing my songs of Platform and Pulpit,” Rob Ingersoll kindly sent me what he need his greatest lecture, “Liberty of Woman and Child,” with many other of his most brilliant sketches. In using my speeches,” he wrote. Do not use any assault I may haveughtlessly made on Christ, which I wisfully made in my early life. With man, I believe Christ was the one perfect man. ‘Do unto others’ is the reflection of religion and morality. It the summum bonum. It was loftier in the teachings of Socrates, Plato, Shammed, Moses, or Confucius. It versed the Commandments that those claimed to have gotten from God, for with Christ’s ‘do-unto-others’ there could be no murder, lying, covetiness or war. It superseded Greek briotism, Roman fortitude or Angloxon bravery, for with ‘do-unto-others’ bravery and patriotism would be needed.” Mr. Ingersoll’s arguments were of the reductio ad absurdum kind. One day a talk on the cars with Talmage he had: Then you would like to live in a place, Brother Talmage, where every head had to go to church regularly every day?” Yes, that would suit me.” “Where no man could get a drink and swearing was not permitted?” Yes, that’s the place for me.” And where every man would have keep regular hours?” That would be heaven on earth,” said Talmage, smiling and striking his knee with his open palm. Well,” said Bob, looking over his muses, “you’d better go up to Singing. That’s the way they do there.” Beecher was very fond of Bob Ingersoll. Ingersoll’s Republicanism, anti-heryism and patriotic love for Grant and his soldiers won Beecher. This is why he introduced him to his Plymouth church audience. Still, Beecher was always joking the great antigostic. One day I asked the great divine if really liked Ingersoll. “I can’t help it,” he said. “I love my fellow men,” and then he added with a humorous solemnity: “And I now when Robert Ingersoll dies…” SPECIAL Election Proclamation State of California, County of Orange.

"That would be heaven on earth," said Talmage, smiling and striking his face with his open palm. "Well," said Bob, looking over his eyes, "you'd better go up to Sing. That's the way they do there." Beecher was very fond of Bob Ingerell. Ingersoll's Republicanism, anti-everyism and patriotic love for Grant and his soldiers won Beecher. This is why he introduced him to his Plymouth church audience. Still, Beecher was always joking the great agnostic. One day I asked the great divine if really liked Ingersoll. "I can't help it," he said. "I love my fellow men," and then he added with a humorous solemnity: "And I may now, when Robert Ingersoll dies—neither he goes to heaven or hell, I—wish him joy!" It is an old story that I have told many times, but the death of the loved one makes it new again. When Ingersoll was thrilling audiences with his great lecture on "Robot Burns," Beecher went to hear him in Chicago. At the Palmer house I asked him how he liked it. "It was a wonderful entertainment," said Beecher. "He held his audience every minute. He is a great genius, and I should like to write his epitaph." "What would you write?" I asked. "Oh," said Beecher, as he rubbed two front fingers on his thoughtfulrow, "it would be a short epitaph. It could simply be: "ROBERT BURNS." EL PERKINS. Worse Than Not Stopping. An Englishman traveling in Maryland had occasion to investigate the running time of the trains that passed through the small place where he was stopping. Carefully searching a time table he found apparently that there would be an express train due at 4 o'clock that afternoon. The Englishman was on time with his grip, etc., and so was the express train. The incoming passenger watched it approach and thunder by the station at top speed. The traveler was annoyed, and turning to a colored man who stood near, remarked: "That train didn't stop!" "No sir," replied the colored citizen cheerfully; "didn't ev'n hes'tate." Sweet.

He was riding on a street car one day, relates a Washington correspondent, and had just completed a transaction with the conductor involving the payment of a quarter of a dollar for six car tickets —4 1-6 cents a ticket —when an acquaintance got on board and took the seat next to him. The acquaintance handed the conductor a nickel and turned to open up a conversation with the Massachusetts senator. The senator fidgeted in his seat a minute and then broke in with the remark: "I am glad to see that you are properous." "Prosperous!" exclaimed the other man. "Why.I am poor as a church mouse!" "Excuse me; I thought you must be rich.I am comfortably well off myself,但 I have never felt that I could afford to pay 5 cents for a ride in a street car when I could get six rides for a quarter."

California Fruits Continued from First page. enough. How to attain it is another story. It would have been profitable for the lemon growers of California had they bought up this year's crop of the San Diego Land and Town company and dumped it into the Pacific ocean. It has nearly ruined the reputation of the California lemon in the Missouri river market—for this year, and dealers will be suspicious of it next year. It is a beautiful lemon, thin skinned, full of juice and would be in every way satisfactory, but just as soon as it comes out of refrigeration it begins to spoil. In two or three days there will be four or five dozen out of a box spoiled, and if repacked there will be as many more spoiled in two or three days more. The testimony is abundant and undeniating as to this state of facts, but little complaint is heard in relation to the keeping qualities of lemons from Duarte, Azusa or other lemon districts, although the prevailing opinion among dealers is that the California lemon is not a good lemon for the summer trade, but is unsurpassed for the rest of the year. The notion is entertained also that California growers hang onto their fruit decidedly too long, greatly endangering the keeping qualities of their fruit, although not all the fault can be charged to this, as lemons have been received with green ends that keep no better. But for its poor keeping qualities the California lemon would drive the Sicily lemon out of all markets between the Pacific ocean and the Missouri river. The orange season is now well over, but everywhere the Californian is regarded as the orange. No complaints are made. Our oranges are everybody's friend except when they are rushed into market to be sold on their shape and chiefly for holiday decorative purposes before they are ripe. It has been suggested that the Christmas oranges should be sent south where Christmas is the gala day of all the year, and where at that season they will be bought without stint and will not hurt the reputation of the orange in the northern markets, which must be relied on to consume the mature crop. Just at this time the Mexican summer orange is coming into market and a very solid and palatable orange it is, too, but has to be packed 45 miles on burros to the train and pay one cent per pound customs duty and so cannot compete seriously with the Californian product, but take off the tariff and suffer Yankee enterprise to enter the CASTORIA For Infants and Children.

ANAHEIM BREWERY It has been suggested that the Christmas oranges should be sent south where Christmas is the gala day of all the year, and where at that season they will be bought without stint and will not hurt the reputation of the orange in the northern markets, which must be relied on to consume the mature crop. Just at this time the Mexican summer orange is coming into market and a very solid and palatable orange it is, too, but has to be packed 45 miles on burros to the train and pay one cent per pound customs duty and so cannot compete seriously with the Californian product, but take off the tariff and suffer Yankee enterprise to enter the Mexican orange growing districts and, in the Mexican season the California orange would stand little show. However, this would affect the northern more than the southern citrus belt as the Mexican orange is practically out of the market by the end of January. Some American dealers are buying orange orchards in Mexico. One of these told me that he could buy selected oranges in Mexico at $3 per 1,000. They are packed in the Florida box which, with all the paper needed, is made in the United States and shipped down there for use in packing. Notwithstanding this handicap, and the tariff of 78 cents a box, the Mexican orange will become an active competitor with the Californian in American markets. The cheapness of labor fully offsets the disadvantages mentioned. Mention should not be omitted of one encouraging fact: The orange is no longer a mere luxury in the market, but a staple with the great middle class, and down under this class of well-to-do people is a vast body of wage earners who avail themselves of every considerable fall in price to eat their fill of this luscious fruit. A Mother Tells How She Saved Her Little Daughter's Life. I am the mother of eight children and have had a great deal of experience with medicines. Last summer my little daughter had the dysentery in its worst form. We thought she would die. I tried everything I could think of, but nothing seemed to do her any good. I saw by an advertisement in our paper that Chamberlain's Colic Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy was highly recommended and sent and got a bottle at once. It proved to be one of the very best medicines we ever had in the house. It saved my little daughter's life. I am anxious for every mother to know what an excellent medicine it is. Had I known it at first it would have saved me a great deal of anxiety and my little daughter much suffering.—Yours truly, MRS. GEO. F. BURDICK, Liberty, R.I. For sale by P. A. Derge. Snake Charmers. It is generally supposed that the serpents exhibited by snake charmers have been deprived of their fangs, and this is doubtless often the case, while one instance at least is recorded in which the mouth of the snake had been sewed together to prevent it from biting. The writer noticed at the Coylon exhibition, given some years ago in London, that one of the snake charmers, finding the cobra he was exhibiting becoming too lively and aggressive, seized the reptile by the neck and thrust it hastily into the small round basket in which it was carried, at the same time pushing it with a voluminous white cloth, at which it bit savagely. Having almost closed the lid of the basket, the man drew away the cloth violently, ANAHEIM BREWERY Pure Lager Beer Made from Pure Malt, For Sale by the Bottle or by the Keg.

First and second-class tickets for sale at Anaheim at Los Angeles prices, and bargage check... been deprived of their fangs, and this is doubtless often the case, while one instance at least is recorded in which the mouth of the snake had been sewed together to prevent it from biting. The writer noticed at the Coylon exhibition, given some years ago in London, that one of the snake charmers, finding the cobra he was exhibiting becoming too lively and aggressive, seized the reptile by the neck and thrust it hastily into the small round basket in which it was carried, at the same time pushing it with a voluminous white cloth, at which it bit savagely. Having almost closed the lid of the basket, the man drew away the clot violently, thus doubtless dragging out the fangs which were fastened in it. He then secured the basket and carried it away. This, of course, required a large amount of cool courage as well as great quickness of hand and eye, all of which qualities must be doubly necessary in capturing and taming these deadly reptiles. But if we are astonished at the skill and dexterity displayed by Indian snake charmers, still more must we marvel at the hardihood of the American Indians, who, in their snake dances, not only handle the deadly rattlesnake with impunity, but absolutely carry it about in their mouths.—Westminster Review. Theater Tickets. The fact that a ticket bought for a theater and not used on the date stamped on it is always good for an admittance is not generally known and probably theater managers would take very little trouble to spread knowledge of the fact, but it is nevertheless true. "A man who buys a reserved seat for a theater," said a theater treasurer who handles more tickets every season than any other in New York, "may not use it on the evening for which he bought it. 'Good for this date only' may be stamped on the pasteboard. That would seem to mean that the ticket could be used at no other time. Probably most of the public accept that as proving the impossibility of making use of the ticket, and therefore few make any attempt to get the worth of their money when they are prevented by any cause from using the ticket on the date marked on it. But it could be presented at any time and would be good for an admission. "Any theater manager would have to recognize the holder's right to enter the theater, although that would, of course, carry with it no right to the seat. It is that right which is limited by the printed date. For all other purposes the ticket is quite as good as if used on the date it bears."—New York Sun. Orphans.
