Tliey covered my face again and left ! me to my own reflections. I had often ; hoard it remarked that meditation was i ' K?>od for the soul, and this was the best j chance I ever had of trying it. An hour must have passed, and the j ' door was again opened, and'two persons j A came whispering along to where I lay, and the voice of my promised wife fell! on my ear. "I dread to look at him.

How mad I got. [ tried to grip or grate mv teeth, but | icvcr a ki<-k or a grate eoulfl I raise. I ! vas obliged to grin and bear it. Bear it ^ had to; but grin I couldn't. Soon my company left, and I was again ntcrtained by own pleasant thoughts, mtil I again felt the cloth gently removal from my face. A soft, warm palm vas laid on my forehead, and the low, ,wcet voice of Minnie Rivers whispered -well, no matter what.

"Of course you are coming to the t-rv \T l-c ?" aid olio of them. "Oli! dcai", yes, surely. I hope it may urn out a fine day, for I want to enjoy he ride to the cemetery." I then lost consciousness, and the next ' heard were the grating voices of Pris i 1 hi. my fiancee, and her mother. Apparently they were brushing, dusting and riving the room a general slicking uj> bebro the funeral. "Is Howard to be one of the palllearers?" asked the voice of my mothern-law that might have been. " lie would be gladly, but he hasn't a iiiit of black clothes," said my sweetest. " Why, Priseilla! my child, don't you emember Smith's black broadcloth: the uit is brand new. I know it will tit Ioward. Call him in, he's sitting in the citrhen. and let him try them on." Now, this black suit was a particular ivorite of mine, a nerfect lit, that set ny person off to great advantage, and it mule by blood boil to hear them talk so oolly of transferring it to my rival, to be vorni at my own funeral. 1 was getting rery mad now. I felt the crisis was ji-ar. and that I should either die or cxdode if they meddled with my black iuit. Priseilla took it down from the ieg?I know it. for I heard the buckles ingle?and made for the door.

The deepest ranee could not have held out against hat suit; with a powerful effort I sprang it) and howled. Pnseilla dropped my lothes, her mother the duster, and both munded out ot the room squealing Jike .hotrabbits. With difficulty I managed o get my clothes, and had just got in;ide of my pants when Mrs. Muffins and icr daughter, headed by the undertaker, leered in at the door; a motley company >f women and smutty-faced children tood in their rear.

A Shark in Sfrnnge Waters. Two or three boating parties had a ;ood 'leal of fun with a shark that strayed nto the Raltimoie harbor a short time urn.

In : loinn so he lost his balance and fell iverboard. lie was soon dragged in by lis companions, and not to soon, either, or just as his last leg was leaving the vater the shark was at the spot and his :reat jaws were heard to snap at the hole n the water which the retreating leg eft. By this time th<> party h:wl got nousih of playing with shark, and, havng disposed of all their lunch, went on o picnic on memories of the big fish and misery stomachs.

When an evening dinner is taken it r00'" should be light if the digestion is at all F H" impaired. low- jn selecting a dietary we mustremember that the greatest amount of nourishment is derived from combinations ol 1 n:" different alimentary substances. For inn ., stance, a pound of meat and a quart of rail- vegetables, if cooked separately, would make only a meager meal; but combined n"w with water and seasonings, in the form ul"'y of a thick soup or stew, would make an ^ll" abundant and wholesome dish. hall jn estimating the value of different l?Y'" articles of food we must disregard their ?ie actual cost and consider them with di-. ilue, rect reference to the degree of nourishex'~ ment which they are capabra of yielding ited, under proper culinary treatment. For instance, a pound of round steak, ,?Q, which costs about twelve cents in market, when cooked by itself does not furapird njsh half as much nutriment its a pound of lentils, the cost of which is about six 878, cents. ?J-ue Water, which is generally consmeren that ias representing no money value, added here to the pound of steak, together with a 'era- few cents' worth of vegetables, greatly '8,- increases the nutritive value of the dish, and This is the reason why combination ided dishes are more healthy :is well as more >97,- economical than joints. Some' importance is attached to the linst class of food called by their advocates 5 in " perfect food," such as milk, eggs and 177, gluten; the use of these foods is injuri189, ous in proportion to the degree of converc stipation which they produce. '65,- Not the least interesting discussion and upon this subject is that between meatarn eaters and vegetarians. i,721 When the diet of the latter includes 137,- milk, eggs and cheese, as it generally 553,- does, it answers the requirements of 574,- health pretty well in temperate and 873. warm climates, but great care must be taken to select those vegetables which ver- j afford all the elements necessary for the ;ven I complete nourishment oi the bony, li.e elo- j choice rests mainly with the cereals and ; of the legumes, otherwise the quantity of nili- ! vegetable matter required in order to nge; I produce the necessary amour, t of nutri2 in- j ment would he so excessive as to greatly ion. overtax the digestive organs. At least :mce j ten pounds of purely vegetable food are 1 al- j needed to furnish the quantity of nutrivar j ment which the eater of a mixed diet deicar rives from three pounds of meat, broad, ern- fish and vegetables. 'the An absolute change of diet should be ifth, ! made only under strong pressure and An-1 with the greatest care, in order that the was digestive organs may gradually become state ! accustomed to the opposite physical acthe tion which attends the digestion and L-ked assimilation of unusual kinds of food und. The fact is generally conceded thai, inze the eaters of a mixed diet are the i in strongest and healthiest; but the mill of mense variety of food products affords rork an unlimited choice, so that no man is eau- ever compelled to accept as his "meat" tfer- that which may prove his " poison." I cannot close without reverting to the innirinns effect of concentrated^ foods. j in this connection I would advise a very I - da- 1 crmtious USR not on^ t'lose * have al ited I r0!wly mentioned,such as eggs and gluten, paoh but also of all canned meats and fish and ' concentrated broths or meat extracts. ncH All these articles should be used, in cononiv necti?n with plenty of vegetables and h wp water, or bread.

Three workmen in a Now York candy fac- ^ tory were terribly burned and dangerously in- 6 jured by an explosion ot superheated pow- J dered starch, in the drying-room of tho es- ? tablishment where tbey were at work.

This c nntnntrrmlin orAatod n. nrofound sensation at t the time, particularly as no satisfactory con- t elusion could bo arrived at as to the origin of \ the fire. A fire marshal made an examina- s tion which extended over several months, and t the coroner also made a searching investigation, but what caused the explosion and lire j remained a mystery. It was believed at that t time that the disaster might have been occa- , sio.ied by the explosion ot a cloud ol finely t powdered starch coming in contact with an ^ open light or heated surface, and, in view ol < the circumstances surrounding this latter ex- j plosion, it is rendered almost a certainty that , the Barclay street fire had its origin in the , same manner. .

A Washington dispatch says the various Republican State associations, which wero disbanded shortly alter the President's Civil Service order was issued, aro now taking steps to reorganize. Tho Iowa Stato Associat ion has already done so. It is understood by the members oi these associations that the President will not object to their reorganization. In the year 1875 the President withdrew from settlement t wo large t racts of land on tho northeast bank of the Missouri river, in the Territory ol Dakota.
