BY HELEN WHITNEY CLARK. ? "Well," Mrs. FerobiaCymouds laid aside her new poke-bonnet, with ita lavender ribbons, and slipped off her plum-colored alpaca dress, while a smile of satisfaction spread itself over ber rather sharply marked features. "If Deacon Grey don't mean some thing by his attentions then I'm mis taken." It was prayer meeting night, and Deacon Grey had just escorted the widow to her domicile. "This is the third time hand-running that he took me home evening; beside last Sunday was two weeks ago that he walked to church with me." Mrs. Ferobia'p method of expres sion was somewhat mixed, but, ber facts were undeniable. The deacon had escorted her to and from evening prayer meeting on several occasious, and had thus be come the subject of much gossip among the village folks. "Deacon Grey's aspruciu' u^,"they said. "Lookin' round for a wife, of course. Wal, he mont do worse, though the Widow Cymonds is poor as a church-mouse, fur as property's consarned. " They said nothin' of Widow Cy monds' temper, however, which was as uncomfortable to encounter as the barbed-wire fence which surrounded the deacon's well-kept farm. Possibly, the widow had a talent for concealing any little acerbities of tem per from the outside world, and be stowing her ill-nature only on the members of her own household. "Yes," she mused, tapping the home-made carpet with her foot, while a shrewd look shone in her steel-gray eyes-"yes, to my mind it's just as good as settled,and I mean to do over my wedding-dress. I ain't worn it much,and it'll save buyiug a new one. But there's one thing about it"-here the widow put her foot down emphat ically- "that old maid sister of the deacon's has got to do most of the work, if she lives with us. I don't have any shiftless, do-nothing folks abont me; but of course I won't say a word now." "La!" said Miss Letitia Pipes, pop ping her head into the widow's sit ting-room, bright and early the next morning-"la, now, Feroby! is it set tled yet? I'm dying to know!" "Well-ahem!" said the widow, looking conscious and tryiug to blush - " 'tain't oxactly settled-that is,the time ain't set, but it's all understood between us, you know." "Of course," assented Miss Pipes. "Well, I reckoned it was understood, that you are as good as engaged, of course. How soon do you think it'll be?" "Well," said Hie widow, medita tively," not before fall, I don't reckon. You see, I've got a right smart lot of sewing on hand-and some quilting to do, too. There's that piuy-bnd quilt I put together last winter, and a rising-sun Dorcas is making." "Going to keep Dorcas with yon?" "No, I ain't" snapped the widow, tartly-Dorcas was her stepdaughter. "She aiu't nolhiug to me, an' I shan't keep her no louger than to git the sewing done up, au' the apple-butter making an' preserviug over; then I'm a-going to tell her to find some other hone." "Jes' so," assented Miss Pipes. And before night it was all over town that the Widow Cymonds was to be married to Deacon Grey, in the fall -just as Mrs. Cymonds meant it should be. And at last the gorgeous piney-bud and the refulgent glories of the rising sun were nearly finished and laid away in the Mg, old-fashioned chest of drawers in tue best chamber. A ten-gallon keg was filled with translucent, crimson-clear apple-but ter, and the swinging-shelf iu the cel lar was covered with jars of preserves and omber-hued jelly-all made by Dorcas Cymonds'. deft fingers. And now the sparkling frosts of October had turned the dogwood and ?sassafras leaves to red, and the chin capins and over-cup acorns were drop ping on the crisp, brown grass in the woodlands and now pretty, brown eyed,industrious Dorcas was told that she must find auother home, and look out for herself in the great future. "For I expect to be married before long, and *.h.m't want to be burdened with any hangers-on,"said the widow, heartlessly. Teais sprang into the sweot, brown eyes, brit Dorcas turned away to hide them from her stepmother's sharp g..z .. Poo* oreas! Phe kuew no more of the wilie world and its ways than a ha f- edi?.I r bin, but she started ??nt with a I) iveheart to seek he:- lort ?me. ne text fi oin the i ook of Divine Revelations came iuto her heart to comfort her-"I have never Been th? righteous forsaken, nor his seed beg ging bread;" and somehow Dorcas felt that kind Providence had not forsaken, her. Mrs. Cymonds put on her best dress, tied her lavender bonnet-strings in ? becoming bow under her chin, and looked at herself in the mirror with a smile of satisfaction. "He'll be certain to come to the sewing-society today, and who knows what may happen, as we walk home togetherl My, but won't Letitia Pipes be mad! She almost turns green with envy now, when the deacon walks with me." But Deacon Grey did not make his appearance at tho sewing-ch.de> and the widow returned home in a some what different mood from that in which she had set ont. "What in common sense he means by not coming I don't see!" she said, crabbedly. "And that Letitia Pipes was glad of it-looked like she wanted to titter right out, when I had to put on my bonnet and start home aloue." The afternoon had worn away, and the sun was sinking fiery shafts of crimson beneath the far-off western horizon. "Who in creation'sa-coming now?" grumbled the widow,as a lithe,slender figure swuug open the front gate, and tripped up the path to the cottage door. It was Dorcas, her brown eyes shin ing and her cheeks glowing like a full blown Jacqueminot rose. "Back again, like a bad penny 1" cried the widow,crossly. "You'll have to stay all night, I s'pose; but I've told you once I couldn't keep you and I can't!" "I've only come for my things," said Dovcas, demuredly, her cheeks dimpled with smiles and blushes. "The deacon's ont in the buggy wait ing for me." "The deacon?" gasped the widow, astounded. "Yes. I-I'm married to Deacon Grey," exclaimed Dorcas, while her stepmother glowed in wrath and dis may. "I met him at the stile, this morniug, and I think he married me out of pity, for I was crying a little, you know, to thiuk I had no home to" go to. So he took me to the parson age and we were married, and went home to dinner. Aud here's the dea con coming in now for my trunk." "Well,well!" exclaimed Miss Letitia Pipes, when she heard the news. "But r. body might a-known it was Dorcas the deacon was a-courting. But I'll bet a button Feroby is as mad as a wet hen about it!" And so she was. -Saturday Night? MADE LINCOLN TUMBLE HIS HA'R. Medill'a Firmness Giivo tho Country a Correct Idea of the Kailsplitter. The death of Joseph Medill re calls the story of a picture of Lin coln; the one by which he became known to the country. It was very soon after the first nomination of Lincoln for the presidency. The story of the picture is given in Mr. Medill's words as nearly as they can be recalled : "I know him so well that I called him Abe and he called me Joe. He came to see me in the Tribune office soon after his nomination. I think I sent for him. I said to him after we talked of more important matters: " 'Abe lhere are not many people in the country who know how yon look. You must get your picture taken. Get ready and I will go with you.' "Snapshots were unknown then and so were newspaper artists, a? they are called. Lincoln went to his hotel to fix up and I called for him at the appointed time. I think he saw that I was snvprised. " 'How do I look?' he asked. His coat was buttoned from top to bottom. But it was his hair which caused me to look at him. He had evidently wet it and it was stuck to the skin and across his temples as smoothly as if it had been ironed. It was so unlike ? him that he looked unnatural. " Tt will never do,' I said as soon as I could recover my breath. 'Abe you never could be elected presi dent if the country thought you wore your hair that way.' "He looked at me as if he were dazed. He had the heart of a child. He had plastered his hair down iu that way honestly and innocently. It hurt him to think he had done some thing he should not have done. That was his nature. He looked in the mirror, and then that expression of humor which I never saw in any other face came out. He took both hands and shoved them through his hair until it looked like a brush heap after a hurricane. Then he looked at me, and I told him that wa3 more like him. We walked into the photographer's, several blocks, and my recollection is that he scarcely spoke during the time. When he sat before the camera he ran his long fingers through his hair again and looked at me like a child that had been whipped. From that picture all copies for campaign purposes were made, and whatover caricatures and cartoons were made of him during the campaign were suggested by that picture." PEARLS OF THOUGHT.

He Concealed That Fact From His.Wife. Howevet-Once They Lost Their Ser vant and the Cavalryman Filled the Kill and Made a Clean Breast or lt. The young man had never told his wile that ho had done & five-year stunt in the regular army of the United State?, Without any particular re? Bou for it some me? feel a bit shy mentioning their servicb iii the regu lars. Perhaps the fact that, up to about ten years ago, the army was looked upon as the last resource of the ne'er-do-well, may have some thing to do with it. Anyhow this yoting war department clerk didn't happen tomiention it to the girl when he came to Washington a couple of years ago and courted and married her, relates the Washiugton Star, that he had spent almost a iive*year stretch among the yellow, blasted-looking mountains of Arizona, helping his tro p to huut for the elusive Apache Kid. He told her that he had beeu jamming around down in the south west, and he told tho truth} for if hunting that red rascal of an Apach? wasn't jamming around the southwest then nothing is. She considered it odd that he knew so much about sol diering, that he went around the house on Sunday mornings idly whistling the trumpet calls, and that he knew how to spiel Indian talk that Indians understood; Or course, she never stopped to wonder over his habit of going down stairs sideways. She never thought of him as a sol dier, and so she could not know that all men who have been cavalrymen .invariably go down stairs sideways for the remainder of their lives. It is a habit born of their sorvice fear of tripping themselves on stairs with their spurs. They keep house in a pretty little place out in Mouut Pleasant. They have had considerable difficulty in keeping a servant, as a good many Alount Pleasant folks do. Their last Bervant wearied of the "lonesomeness" one evening last week, packed up tho things that belonged to her. and probably a few things that did ot be long to her, in accordance with the rule iu such cases, aud departed, an nouncing that she was not to return. The young wife wept dismally after the servant's departure, aud her hus band, sympathizing with his wife's red nose, endeavored to assuage her grief. "Let 'er go," said he. "I'll stay home from the office tomorrow, and you can bundle off bright and early and get another one. Don't rush yourself to death over it, either. I eau run this shack for one day, I guess." "But if I am away after the noon hour what will you do for your lunch, you poor old monkey thing?" she asked him, solicitously affectionate. "Never you mind me," he said. "I'll get along. You watch me." So, on the followiug morning, di rectly after breakfast, the young wife, with many forebodings as to the rack and ruin she would find, and not a bit of her work done when she re turned, set out for the down town dis trict to beg, borrow or steal a house servant. "It'll be a give away, all right," murmured her husbaud to himself, but I'll do itali the same." So he set to work. First, he washed the dishes. Soldiers of the regular army of the United States wash dishes with a practised skill and a. thorough ness such as few women, with all due consideration, exhibit. He made a nice job of the dish washing and then took a pair of shears and cut a lot of scalloped borders out of old newspa napcrs for the china closet. Then he put the dishware away all neat and orderly. Then he started in at the kitchen. He polished the stove first, so that the kitchen cat raised her back at her own image in it. Then he got at the pans, pots, skillets and so on, and made them look like new. Then he swept out the kitchen, after which he got down on his marrowbones and gave it the most business-like scrub bing it had ever had-a military scrub bing. Thus tue kitchen was all fixed. Then he went upstairs to their room and made the bed. A man who has made up his bunk in quarters in the United States army for any spaco of time doesn't need to get any points from ihe women folk as to how that ?ob should be done. Then he sprinkled tea leaves around and swept the whole upstairs portion of tho house, after which he dusted it thor oughly. Then he descended the stairs aud began tho policing of the dining room, sitting room and parlor. Ho changad the furniture all about, changed the location of some of tho pictures advantageously, gave the piano a better position and cleaned and swabbed the whole outfit until it looked as if half a dozen ordinary servants had been policing it. Lunch hour had rolled around by this time, and so ho went to the kit chen, neatly fried himself some bacon aud eggs, and made himself a cup of coffee on tho gas stove, after which he cleaned np tho dishes he had used and smoked a couple of pipes full of tobacco and reflected. He had ex pected his wife back by that time, but she didn't come. He began to think of how she'd no doubt be worrying about the the dinner theu, and so he decided to get the dinner himself. He , put ou his coat and went out to the I market to buy the dinner. He picked j out a fine, thick steak and the noces- ? sary vegetables, and rather astonished I the niarketman with his workmanlike ! manner of buying. Theretofore he ? had simply been the bill payer at tho ? market store. He had a fine dinner agoing by half after ?. He knew that his wife would not be gone later than 4 o'clock, so at a 3.40 he put the steak on to broil. Then he set the table with a whole lot of neatness, not forgetting the bunch of Mowers that he had bought at the market, for the purpose of adorning the table. His wife walked iu, weary, footsore and ravenous, at two minutes past 4 o'clock. ?he paused at tho thresh hold aud looked about her. The hall had been policed with great thorough ness and she could not uuderstaud. Then she walked into the parlor. Her face assumed a dazed expression. "Why, Jack," she said, "have you engaged a servant yourself?" "Xope, " he replied. "Just been passing the time myself a bit, that's all." When she saw the set dining room, the spotless and shining kitchen, with its glistening utensils, tho broiling steak, and when she went upstairs and saw the miracle that had been wrought there, too, she simply sat down iu a rocking chair and stared at her husband. She was able to speak i after a while, and then she inquired: ? "But where did von learn to clo it i all?-' He grinned, and went to a little old trank of his that was stowed away in the spar? rooni: He dug irita this fop ft while; then ho brought out a parch inent paper. He took it over to his wife and banded it to her. It was an army discharge. The space after the word "character" was filled in with the word "excellent" There was an indorsement at the bottom of tho.dis charge signed by the colonel ' of th? regiment," saying, "This mari is a fine soldier, both in garrison andcanip." "I had to take my turn ns cook of tay outfit, you know," be said after a While, "and all of ns have got to know how to police up and keep things clean." ? .* ..... ' "But why did you never tell me you were a soldier? Don't you know I perfectly adore and idolize Mi diers?" she asked him, and he could only grin and look sheepish. ABSOLUTE ZERO. Some Marvels of Liquified Air-Quicksil ver Frozen as Hard ns Steel. . | The experiments which haye' xe-, suited in the liquefaction of air seem likely to revolutionize our ideas" bi heat and cold. Mr. Charles E. Trip, 1er of New. York is turning out liquefied air by tho gallori, and a;'d?' ' sciiptiou of his achievements -in the Ceritriry is a veritable fairy-tale of science. Faucy a kettle of liquefied air goiug oft'in steam when 'set upon ; aJbl?ck of ice, because the latter.as several hundred degrees Warmer thari the air! It may not be long before the expression "as cold as ice" will cease to be beard, and "as botas ice" adopted. It certainly is surprising to see the liquid air poured upou ice fly offlriss ing like water from hot iron;, bnt ?when one reflects that ice is 344 de grees hotter thau the liquid, it does not seem so strange; or to' seo one's breath blown into tho opea can :of the liquid, sent back instantly, its mois ture congealed into a miniature snow storm. A jet of st?am is frozen as quickly, for steam in the open,air is only 114 degrees hotter thau the breath, while from the temperature of steam to that of liquid air is' a "ter rible drop of 524 degrees! In this freezing effect probably is found the : greatest obstacle to the use bf liquid air as a motive power. The moisture of the air is deposited rapidly as ice ' upon thc machine, especially upon the orifico from which the jet of extreme ly cold air emerges. This soon closes the orifice completely aud stops the ; machine. Auotber surprise is given when the experimenter puts his baud directly into the liquid for a moment. , But the sensation is only as o'f a soft crish- ?j iou of air about the baud: Such- it really is. The heat of the hand forms a layer of vapor or air about tho hand, and the liquid air does not come in contact with the flesh.' Should the liquid actually touch the flesh, a severe injury like, a burn re suits, which sometimes is months in healing. lu au few seconds an egg is frozen so that it requires a hard blow of a hammer to break it. Probably its germ of life is extinct Seeds of grains and . vegetables have been tested in liquid air. These were all natives of the temperate zone; - the seeds of which will pass the wins ter in a frozen earth without loss of vitality, such as barley and, oats for grains, and pease, cucumber, aud squash for vegetables. They are kept . for ono hundred and ten hours *tt 312 degrees below zero, and then slowly thawed for fifty hours. After this treatment they were still alive: On beiug planted, they germiuated and grew. The liquid air boils in a dish till'it has cooled the dish to its own temper ature. Its boiliug-pqiut is 312; der grees below zero. After .this the ; vapor of air which covers the" liqvtid ; so retards e vaporation that it may.'be kept eight or ten hours in a can packed on\f in felt. It bas in this way boen carried two liundrecl arid fifty miles from tho place of manu facture. The cooling effect upon the J air of the room is very marked. The writer gave two lectures in one after noon with liquid air. Said a lady. of the second audience, as she entered the lecture-room, "How cold your room is!" Tho temperature had been lowo ed 10 or 12 degrees by the evap oration of the air used in the first lecture. All other liquids are frozen when put into liquid air. Mercury becomes like iron, so th?t it will drive a. nail, bold up a weight, or serve any other purpose as a metal, so long as if is kept frozen. ',';;? .,%?;<. : Source of the American Trinperniiwn1.

ODD VIEWS OP POLICE DUTY. People Who Want . Postage Stamps, lea Water, Door Keys add Money. "It's easy to criticise the police de partment," said a sergeant in the back room of a station-house, "but the gen eral public has no idea of the many different things we have to do and of thc annoyances to which we are sub jected. When I was on duty in some of the south side precincts people used to come to the station and ask for the queerest things. Hardly a day went hy that some one didn't come around and ask for postage stamps, while in the summer time they used to come In droves for ? drink of ice water. When he remonstrated with them? they'd say: 'Vel, don't ve pay taxes for de ice, and shouldn't ve drink It, what?' As a matter of fact, the ice is paid for by the policemen themselves, but you couldn't make them understand it. "One night about 10 o'clock, when I was on the desk, a big, stout German came in and wralked up to the rail. " 'Sergeant, my vife is gone out mit der key und I am locked oudt,' he said. " 'Well,' I said, Vhat can I do about it?' " 'Vy, sendt a policeman und make me get in der house, dot's vkat' I didn't spend my time arguing with him,, you can bet "But that was not the worst case by any means. A poor tailor living on the top floor of a tenement down that way committed suicide after a quarrel with his wife. The man was dead when the ambulance came. A few hours later the widow sent her little girl around to the house to say that she had no money, and unless some one helped her out the man would have to be buried in the potter's field. The police are often called on in similar cases, so the boys chipped in all around and raised ?19. I gave that to the child and sent her away. Soon after it was time for roll call and another sergeant came on duty. He was busy writing up the blotter when the same girl returned. " 'My mudder says can I get any more,', she said. " 'What?' said the sergeant, who had been asleep and didn't know about the collection. " 'My mudder says can I come around next month an' git some more money,' was the reply. She didn't get any more, and that incident was somewhat of a damper on charity In that ' particular station for quite a while."-Chicago Tribune. Tbc Hundred Year Club. The Hundred Year Club is the latest development of the end-of-the-century mania for societies. These would-be centenarians have quite discarded the 1 idea of a threescore-and-ten limit to human existence. They declare that the life of man "should be normally from 120 to 180 years,' and while they admit that this Increase of days may not be secured by the present genera tion, they expect that the average life will be considerably lengthened. The circular issued by the club enumerates several objects to be se cured in addition to greater length of days. Some of these purposes are rele vant, as, for instance, the decrease In the cost of life-insurance which will come with increased longevity. Others appear to be rather remote from the main project, as when stress is laid on the fact that "there clubs will de velop the faculty of conversation which makes one .appear to advantage in society." After all, this may be an Important feature of the work. If the same people are to be meeting one an other for something like a century, it Is by no means unessential that they should learn to make, themselves . agreeable. It would not be easy to re gard the Hundred Y'ear Club with sat isfaction If through its efforts certain persons should extend their hold on life to the traditional niriety-nine-year lease without improving in the mean time.-Harper's Bazar.
