Miss Perkins was busy behind the jounter oro morning, arranging a xeshly ont supply of flowers, when two roang ladies arrived at the door at Le same instant, and carno bustling n together. "Why, good morning, Miss Clem tnp," exclaimed Miss Perkins, looking ip in surprise. "Good morning, Miss Siwell ; aren't you chicks ont a little ?arly this morning?" "Ob, not at all," replied Miss Ci em ms with a laugh, "you know we're ?arly birds at our house ; I've been to narket already." "Well, dear me!" exclaimed Miss 51 well, who was a rather languid cr-sa ure, "Pm eure you are" an early oro. sow nothing in the world would ti sm .1 y get me out this early, but I have a .erv important pieoe of new?, and I lould hardly wait to get down town to ell it!" Miss Elwell stopped and looked at disa Olemans to see that she was duly inpressed, while Miss Perkins went on irranging her flowers. "Well, nowthat you are here," oaid diss Clemans, "let's have the news. .Yhat is the wonderful pieoe of infor nation that has gotten Miss Lazybones mt of bed before 10 o'clock?"' "I never was more surprised in my ife," said Miss Elwell, "and I know everybody will be completely upset >ver it. Can't yon guess what it is?" "Why, of course I can't! How pro voking you are! Without a hint of ny kind except that it's the most sur mising thing that ever happened !" Miss Elwell seemed to enjoy her ri end's curiosity. Finally Miss Clem ns said : "The most suprising thing that ever ?appened? Ton must be going to get carried !" "Now 6ee here, girls," exclaimed liss Perkins from behind ihe counter, 'that's the way young ladies talk. I lelisve in the comio papers, but it sn't the kind of wit that is considered .ood form in good sooiety ; so Bose, f you have any news to tell, let us lave it, and Blanche, stop your chaf mg. The girls laughed, and Miss Elwell : aid : / "Miss Perkins's curiosity is getting .roused, so I won't keep you in ans ?ense. Mabel's engagement is -roken !" "What I !" oried both her listeners tl once. ' ?Mabel Biohey ?" "Um-umpb," said Mies Elwell? nod-, :ling her head in affirmation. "Ob, you're joking," said Miss [siemans, "she and Harry were just devoted to each other. Why, nothing : ould ever come between them. Mabel told me so." "But something did, just the same, " j leplied the bearer of news, "and that ;om?thing was Mi* Marguerita Daisy >c?Tones of New fork." Mi? Ciernan? exclaimed, "Weil, 1 itere* 1" a'ad Miss Perkins groaned. about it all OTC have warned them about taiam^xo much-not that it would have done any good, but it might have eased my conscience a little." AB she ?ipoke a carriage drove up to the door, and Harry Martin sprang to the pavement and came in. "Good morning, Miss Perkins," he said in his brisk, whole souled man ner. "Some roses this morning? Ah, those aro beauties; how many have you? Three dozen, only? Well, I want them all. Here's my card, which you wi ll drop in the box, and send them lo-" And he wrote an address on a tag lying on the counter. "This address. I've left mother in the carriage and she's afraid of the horse, so Til hurry out. Good-morn ing, Miss Perkins." And Mr. Martin was out and away beTore Miss Perkins had hardly recov ered her breath. She looked at the address he had left: "Miss De Jones, Liberty House, City." And then Miss Perkins lost her tem per. "Why, the impudent puppy !" she cried. "If he thinks I'm going to send those flowers to that-creature, he's mistaken I He's crazy, he is. I won der if his mother knows?" And then out of pure vexation she ?at down in a back room and had a good cry. A few moments later she came out and calmly put the roses in a box, dropped Mr. Martin's card among them, tore into little bits the tag he had addressed, and with a firm hand wrote a new one, which she placed on the box ; then put it with a half dozen smaller packages, which Nero, the factotum of her establishment, would deliver. Then Miss Perkins regained her habitual smile and gentle self possession, and went about humming little scatohes of happy songs and seemed as one conscious of having done a good deed. Harry Martin was not a happy man. Indeed he Ltd been miserable for thirty-six ho- s, for he waB, or had been, deeply n love with Mabel Biohey, and ii ality had never been introduced to . golden-haired girl with the three tioned name, until since the quarr ith his sweetheart. But since that t test nous interview, he had sought, an easily obtained an introduction, and had decided to send her roses for the decoration of the table at the supper that was Daking several Westfield sweethearts jealous and unhappy. i And Mabol Richey was not e happy woman. She had wept all night after the quarrel and gotten up the next morning firmly resolved to die rather than show any signs of weakening. And she had gotten through the pre ceding day fairly well ; the only times that she manifested any unusual feel ing being when the ?am? of Mils time heTsTiraanger o? off to sea. Again, ho frequently baa his traps carried oat to sea and lost in ; the strong undertow. These traps are made of two thick hoops, of willow joined by olosely set ribs of lath, and within them is hung a pieoe of old fish or meat ; the older the better, for the lobster has a strong ?cent, and a stone is placed on the bottom of the tr?p to act as a sinker, while a lon ' line ex tends from the trap to the surface of the water, and to this line a buoy, or marker, is fastened. At either end of the trap a purse net is placed over the willow hoops, and, while it allows the lobster entrance, it successfully bars bis exit. The fisher men work in pairs and set from 103 to 250 traps each day, and their pay at this season of the year will average 850 or $60 a week. One man who followed lobster fisti ng for a living owns several pretty cottages and lives in a fine house of I his own on the shores of .Boston Bay. I But, like the waters about New Tork, I iBoston Bay has long been an un prolific source for lobsters. A greater part of the supply for the New York* markets comes through Boston and reaches there by steamers from Fortland, Me., and from Nova Scotia or Newfound land. As soon as they reach the docks they are hurried into lobster houses, for if a live lobster is left out in the frosty ' air he will shed his claws as fast as a tree will shed its leaves on the ap proach of winter. Within these houses are great steam tanks, and while the liveliest of the crustaceans are placed in floating Hoses out in the river, those that move slowly are loaded into iron orates and plunged into the steam tanks, whence they emerge in the courso of twenty minutes as red-well, as red as a boiled lobster.-New York Presa. ? A Strange ?priug. A mile and a half from Franks, In dian Territory, a very large spring of olear, sparkling water bubbles up through the gravel at the foot of Bog gie Mountain, tumbles swiftly down the hills over numerous falls and runs a big flouring mill at Franks for the Hon. B. F. Byrd. In the water is a substance that attiiohes itself to the j buckets of a wheel, forming a hard, smooth st ono about them that has to be broken off every eix weeks with a hammer. Wood or bone thrown into the water is petrified in a very short time, and many rare and curious for-1 mations are to be seen in and about ! the stream. Near the mill the roots of a large fallen tree, over but not in the oreek, are all tamed into stone. - Dallas News.

Squire Vogelsang, of Kelso Town-; ship, Indiana, heard a onxions case, which maj become as noted as that ol the Iowa oalf. John Kegler, who re; sin es at New Alsace, bet Charles Horn-; beck, of Yorkville, that he could har? ness an unbroken steer to tho latter's buggy and drive it from New Alsace to Yorkviile, two miles. If Kegler won he got the buggy ; if not, tho steer went to Hornbeok. The trial came off the next after no m. The roadway from New Alsace to Yorkvillo was lined with men, wo-i men, children and an army of dogs. Kegler brought out his steer, a little runt, thin and wiry, and so viciously angry that it required a dozen men tx put on the harness. Hornbeok rode a big gelding. A bridle was put on the steer, and the bit made it furious. When it started the crowd yelled. The steer didn't know where the win-' ning wire was, but it went the open way toward Yorkville. The sight as the steer went by, with bulging eyes and tail sticking straight out, while all the dogs joined in the raoe, yelp-, ing at every jump, was a sight to be remembered. The women waved their shawls and capes, and even the chil dren took part in the racket. York-, ville was soon in sight. Everybody followed and the road was packed from fence to fence. Then Hornbeok re fused to pay the bet, but Kegler kept the buggy.-New Hork Recorder. Nye's Favorite Story. Bill Nye's put story was the one as, to how he was oharged $4 for a sand wich in a village in New Jersey. He told the man who sold it that it was a high price for a sandwich, and said' that he had frequently gotten a ten-, course dinner for just making a speech and finally asked the man why he charged $i for a ham sandwich. "Well, I'll tell you," said the sand wich man, "the faot is, by gad, I need the money."-Detroit Free Press, A New Forage Plant.
