"(.ill, plca-e!" li--s ill. "Epr, Barney;
you t.r;j t«i."
Tho little «1< g sat lip at once, with
drooping paws.
"fc;ur«\ ni< own wire's n;;ri>ey. And
is your ilea's liuine O'Heilly, too?" said
the s ntry.
"Oh, if he is venr namesake," ex-
rlainsrd Maniire, "you laust let him
in! Oh, pee, yon can l;r.!d tiim while 1
go in!" Maurice thonght^ no one could
rt-hist fu'-Ii nn otfi r.
"I'll s«-e," Kai.l the poldier, and he
stepjKd within, and, returning, said,
"tio on."
Maurice yield* d np Barney and
stepped into the hall, went ulcus it and
i'aust il just inside an open door. He
was trembling. A voice said, "What is
your errand?" a voice even, grave and
rather severe.
Maurice raised his eyes. Just Ix-fore
the fireplace stood the great commander.
To the boy's excited thought he seemed
even larger than he wa-». Washington's
hands were behind his back, his hand-
some bead bent a little forward.
"What is your errand, my lad?-' said
he again, with a note of command in
the tone.
"Oh, my father, my father!" ho said.
"I have been lost from him so very
long!"
Something in the thrilling child's
voice, something in the piteous aud for-
lorn expression of his face, went straight
to the warm heart that the general car-
ried beneath his calm exterior. He
crossed the room in quick strides, and,
laying his hand on the boy's shoulder,
said kindly:
"My poor child!"
This was too much. Maurice had
borne bravely the long strain of wait-
ing, the repented disappointments, but
tho unexpected sympathy broke down
bis self possession. Ho put his head in
the crook of his arm aud sabs came fast
—sobs that shock him from he id to foot.
The general drew him aside, sat down
in an armchair, and, taking the little
hanging head in both his own, said,
"There, there, stop crying aud tell me
all about it!"
Maurice choked down his sobs and
told his story. At his fathei's name the
general rose quickly.
"Colonel Terraine's son! Why, then,
your father v. as hero a short time ago.
He may be up stairs now!"
Maurice forgot even the great chief
and sprang for the door. But Washing-
ton caught him by tho arm.
"My dear boy—he does not know—I
will go."
Maurice stood still in the center of
tho room and pressed his hands hard to-
gether. The general went out and up
stairs. It seemed to Maurice that he
stepped very slowly.
Colonel Tcrraine sat in an up stairs
room writing. He laid down his pen
and rose as the general entered.
"Colonel," said Washington, "Ihave
some wonderful news for yon." He
paused. The officer took a step forward
aud opened his lips, but did not speak.
"Comedown stairs with me,"con-
tinued the general slowly, "and remem-
ber as you go that passage in the Scrip-
tures, 'But the father said. Let us be
merry, for this my son' "—Colonel Ter-
raine eaught tho back of a chair—" 'for
this my son—' " went on the sweet,
grave voice, '4 'was dead, and is alive
again. He was lost and is—found.' "
Colonel Tcrraine stood an instant,
with wide, questioning eyes. Then he
rushed throngh the doorway and down
the stairs. The general followed him
quickly. There was a loud cry as the
colonel entered the room, and Maurice
sprang into his father's arms. General
Washington closed tho door and stood
guard over it himself. Barney, having
etcaped from the soldier, tore iu, and
the geueral stooped from his great height
to pat tho little dog. If Barney had
k-^en a man, he would have seen lhat
there were tears in the bright bine eyes.
Heat and Sliver.
To read the inscription on a silver
coin which by much wear has become
wholly obliterated put a poker in the
fire. When redhot, place the coin upon
it, and the inscription will plainly ap-
pear of a greenish hue, but will disap-
pear as the coin cools. This method
was formerly practiced at the mint to
discover the genuine coin when silver
was called in.
The M?ite>T of the Pearl.
The usual source of pearls found
within tho oyster appears to lie the in-
trusion of some small foreign body
which sets np an irritation of cuticle.
The only means of defense open to the
molluBk is to deposit a layer of nacre
aronnd the irritating particle aud thus
cut it off from the soft, tender skin. A
grain of sand or a small crustacean may
slip in between the lips, and, setting
np irritation, provoke the cuticle to de-
posit around it a series of thin films of
11 acre. These are added to from time to
time, the little nucleus is completely
encysted and a pearl is the result.—La-
dies' Home Journal.
Man;
would
money with his
life, and many a
man does this
very thing without
knowing it. There
are thousands of
men who decline
to defend their
lives with their
money. They are
so intent on
money- getting
that they forget their health. The health
cannot be trifled with. The body resents
neglect Little- disorders become big ones
if they are allowed to run on. The man
whose digestion is poor, pretty soon finds
that he is losing flesh. He diK^sn't weigh as
much as he did. He doesn't realize that he
is losing vitality; that he is losing strength;
that ht is losing capacity for work; and that
even his brain must of necessity become
weaker, if it is not nourished. Loss of flesh
means that the whole body is goinc to wreck
It is fatally easy to run downhill. A man
keeps going faster and faster as he goes
down. When health begins to leak out, it
leaks very fast. The time to stop it is right
away. The way to stop it is by taking Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It is
the greatest Ionic and invigorator that was
ever prepared. It is the discovery of a prac-
ticing physician, eminent and successful in
his profession, the head of one of the great-
est medical institutions in the world, Tiie
Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, of
Buffalo, N. Y. It is an almost infallible
cure for consumption, and for all the minor
troubles that lead to consumption, chief
among these are emaciation and general,
bodily debility. The "Discovery" purifies
and enriches the blood, invigorates the
nerves, stimulates digestion, brings back a
healthy appetite, healthy sleep, and a
healthy, natural action of all the organs of
the body. Druggists sell it.
Everyman, woman and child in the United
States ought to have access to a copy of Dr.
Pierce's great work, the " People's Common

AMERICANIZED CHINAMEN.
How Yankee Sign Pointers Sophisticate
Oriental Names.
It is rather amusing to note the enri-
or.s disguises under v. bich Chinese names
appear on the laundry signboards s<>
thickly scattered through our cities. It
is the natural result of t he Chinaman's
inn.: rfeet acquaintance with English
and the sign painter's absolute ignorance
of Chinese.
1m >r in-:!:::;ce, Jehn goes to the pointer
r.rd explains—"Want paint vaihe
wash* "
"All right. What's your name?" a.'.ks
the paint* r.
"Uauui Cha Li Li:ig," replies the
orient;;!, and down it gees on the fcigu,
"Charlie Ling."
It is surprising the number of those
Charlies who wear pigtails, but it al-
ways ee>:uo to pass in the way just indi-
cated.
One sign painter did still better. The
applie*ant gave his name as Cha Ku Li.
This in due time appeared on a square
red board as follows: "Clias. Q. Lee,
First Class Chinese Laundry. "
It is often alleged that the Chinese
never become truly American, but here
was a Chinaman pretty thoroughly
Americanized, one would fancy. It was
from the bumptious sign painter, how-
ever, that he got his naturalization pa-
pers.—Boston Post.

QEK PEOPLE.
Texas is a cosmopolitan state,
but native Americans predomin
ite. The negro population of thi
state i3 small compared to othei
southern states and the "racf
jroblem'? cuts no figure here. The
state is settled largely with imrhi-
rrants from different parts of tin
[Jnion, those from the southern
md western states predominating.
LAWS.
The laws of Texas are made foi
ier own people and are the most
iberal, equitable and just any
*-here.
HOMESTEAD LAWS
Atq the most liberal, and her col
Section laws the most lenient to be
•ound in any state in the Union.
These laws not only provide
igainst misfortune, but give the
family a guarantee against waste
•'ul-extravagance and bad manage-
ment on the part of the husband.
The following extracts from the
*tate constitution will give an idea
jf the protection which the state1
throws around a family:
"Art. 17, Sec. 49. The legisla-
ture shall have power, and it shall
be its duty, to protect by law from
iorced sale a certain portion of the
personal property of all heads oi
families, and also of uninarrieo
idults, male and female.
TAXATION
is light, our state ad valorum tax
s now 20 cents on the $100, ant
our state school tax is 18 cent.1
m the §100. County taxes do not
often reach 50 cents on the $100.
LAND.
Improved lands are worth from
?10 to $50 per acre.
Our lands produce a greater va
riety of crops than (ian lie found ii
almost any other county. They
have the rare advantage of bring
ing both wheat and cotton crops—
something not found in many
places.
ROADS.
Good roads reach into every sec-
tion of the county and substantia;
bridges span all streams.
EDUGATION.
We have ninety public schools
n the county outside the city of
Jainesville—eighty-six white and
four colored. These schools rru
in an average of six month ea<)
/ear.
"Sec. 50.—The homestead of z
family shall be and is hcr^ty pro-
jected from forced sale for pay-
ment of all debts except for the
purchase of money, the taxes due
thereon, or for work and material
ised in constructing improve*
ments thereon, and in this last
;ase only when the work and ma-
erial are contracted for in writ-
cing, with the consent of the wife
<iven in the same manner as is
required in making a sale and
conveyance of the homestead; nor
shall the owner, if a married man,
sell the homestead without th«
consent of the wife given in such
manner as may be prescribed by
law.
"No mortgage trust, deed oi
other lien on the homestead shall
ever be valid, except for the pur
chase money thereof, improve-
ments made thereon as hereinbe-
fore provided, whether such moil-
gage or trust deed or other lien
shall have been created by the hue-
band alone or together with hi s
wife; and all pretended sales of
the homestead involving any con-
dition of defeasance shall be void.
"Sec. 51.The homestead n^t in a
town or city, shall consist of not
more than 200 acres of land, which
may be in one or more parcels,
with the improvements thereon;
the homestead in a city, town or
village shall consist of a lot or
lots not to exceed in value $5000
at the time of their designation as
a homestead without reference to

household.
Section 28 of Art. 16 of the con-
stitution reads: "Xo current
^ages for personal service shall
aver be subject to garnishment."
The statutes exempt the follow-
ing personal property from forced
iale:
"All household and kitchen fur-
niture. All implements of hus
bandry. All tools, apparatus and
books belonging to any trade or
profession. The family library
