Yes, kahominos can De purchased at almost any price. (J. Why then is Alabastine lees expensive? A. In the first place a package of Alabastine. costing a few cents more, will cover double the surface that a package of kalsomiue will. Q. What other advantage has Alabastine thrt kalsoinines do not possess* A. Alaba*tine is entirely different from all kalsonnnes. It is manufactured from a base in itself a cement, and wbeu applied to a wall sets hard. 1 Q. How do kalsnraines differ from this'. u&aff' A. Kslsomines are made from whiting, , ,x _ 'ji* clays, chalks or ioim inert powder for a "t" . (aw, and are entirely dependent on animal glue to hold them on the wall. Q. What are the results? A. In one case the Alabastino beluga cement hardens with age, and the kalsomine as won ns the glue, which constitutes its binding quality decays, rubs and scales off, us it has nothing to hold it on the wall. V. Does Alabastino require washing and scraping off before coatiug? A. No; Alabastine when once applied to a clean surface can lie recoated for any length ot time without having to wash or scrape the walls. Q. Doe>this feature count for much? A.

'?^=s=5p7 ' elevated ground,' while Briar Lodge |y V. nestled in a hollow' But if the two inmates of this abode were snow-bound, that fact trogblcd them little. They were all in all to each other, this mother and daughter, whose kingdom was their home, so t.tey could afford to laugh at the vagaries of the weather. They were very companionable; for whether through the iutluence of Mildred Vicars's healthful flow of spirits, Ot the still unqucnchcd fire of the mother's youth, the years had passed lightly over the older woman's head. Her figure 6till retained its graceful outlines, her soft skin was unwrinkled, her glossy black hafr scarcely showed silver thread. I A woman, one could see, who had carefully husbanded the best years of hei life, so now at the harvest-time there were no disappointing tares among the golden grain. The mother was in the fullness and perfection of maturity, and the dauerh'er iu that sweet. Hr?r youth?iair of face and joyous by nature as a girl of niueteeu should be. Briar Lodge was a tilting bower foi two such charming women. It was the home of Mrs.Vicars's girlhood, where, a.? Madeline Hunt, she had made it tht most attractive place on the hillside. The Prince came at last, invadec Briar Lodge and took Madeline captive, but he died in the tiu3li of happiness. Little Mildred gave warmth to he: mother's life, urging her to cast off th< blighting influence of her sorrow; aud Madeline's nature blossomed afresh, all the better arid stronger for its crucial test. Though many of the old suiton again surrounded lier, the beautiful dohcly woman only twined her affection! more closely about her little daughter. Alter a longer stay than usual, the snow was beginning to melt, and one bright, afternoon M>11 red Vicars armed herself with alight snow shovel, aui sallied forth to nid the sun in his work. From beneath her jaunty seal-skin cap her bright face glowed with the stirring cr;ci c.isc. ami snatches of song rose to her lip?, flouting on the clear thin air down among the frozen hollows and out upon the broad stretch of moorland. .Her eyes | were often turned in this direction, until J a cei ta n dark spot on the horizon took n rnon: definite slupe. Then the color deepened in her ciutks. anil she bent to her voluntary labor as if her daily brtad dcj elide I upon it. Nearer and nearer came tin- hurrying figure of a youug man, I whose steps were bearing directly down upon Biiar Lodge. Heaching the prickly hedge he called softly, "Mildredl Mildred !" Tlie gill dropped hershovel and turned quicklv around, meeting n pafr of ardent eyes that caused her own to fall in some confusion. "I ?I am glad to see you home, Herbert. Wheu did you arrive? As she spoke she c;? ne slowly up to the hedge that divided them, and reached over her little gloved hand iu greeting to the newcomer, who caught and kissed it passionately before he released it. 4 Didn't you know 1 was coming today'!" he asked reproachfully. "1 am sure you expected r.ie, Mildred. Answer me trulj*'. I cannot believe that you have forgotten." "Forgotten! oh, no!" returned Mildred ju ckly. 4,I thought?I imagined ?well if you must nave it?I did look lor you to-day." Herbert Overton's face grew radiant. 4'Have you no warmer welcome for me. 'UV"iW)nisjte9<f "Hfhidefr of her hand, across the intervening barrier. 4'Yes," she ventured slowly, "and? and mother says you may stay to tea if you like." There was a tremor in the soft voice; but Mildred shot a roguish look at him frnnt ?t?wT*?r lion ? ..v... ..mmvi iivi tvu? minus, nuu IUU young man waited for no second bidding. Another moment and he was be j side her. grasping both hands, and trying to read the pretty downcast face. ' What am I to understand by this, uildred?" he demanded in a low, eager tone. She did not withdraw her hands, but with an impulsive movement she nestled closer to his side, and answered almost in a whisper: "Whatever ycu wish, dear Herbert." Then they lost sight of time and place, and fell to planning their future, as only linnny lovers can. Meanwhile, Mrs. Vicars sat alone with her thought', marveling as the short nftcrnoon wore on, at the intricate weav ./? tnuuiiiHiaiiccs wmc;t na<l brought these voting people together She win | thankful that it was so, for it partly ofaced an act of Iter own which him ro*t her many a bitter pang of self-reproach. She had once hi en engaged to Colonel Overton, Herbert's uncle aud guatdiaii; but with the dawn of her love for Ashley Vicars alie felt that she could no longer ..eep her promise. He released her ? it was nil lie could do?for tier happiness ??as his rirst thought. But from tim' nay he never set foot in Briar Lodge. % He spent a good deal of bis time abroad, superintending Herbert's education, but when bis nephew determined to practive law in the city, he took up his residence once more in the old mansion on the brow of the bill. He had never married. He and Madeline met occasionally, but beyond a grave bow on either side there was no further intercourse. Tho young people, however, made up for their elders, nud Madeliue was glud to see the feeling that had grown between them. Not so the Colonel. He listened quietly enough, when on bi? return that evening Herbert asked his consent to It speedy marriage with Mildred Viow!\ let a handsomer man appeal to her fancy, ) and her over-tender conscience will blight your happiness. Withdrew before it was too late. "ft is too late now," burst out Herbert vehemently. "I cannot understand your prejudice against Mildred." "I have no prejudice against the young lady. I do not know her," answered the Colonel. Then, after a pause, he continued, "I am the last person to oppose a true love match, Herbert; besides I know that opposition only adds fuel to the Uame. But this much I ask of you ? leave things as they are for awhile. l ou are both young, and can wait. <io back to the city and your work, and if in the end I find that I can give my full aud free consent I will send for you." "Yes?but?" began Herbert. Colonel Overton smiled rather sadly as he laid a hand on his nephew's (shoulder. "I know what you would say, Herbert. You are of age and quite your own master, lully capable of controlling your own alfairs; but I deserve from you some slight consideration after years of faithful guardianship. The same hot blood flowed in my veins once that now courses through yours, and I will not have its warmth chilled if I can help it. Can you trust me for awhile?" There was a short struggle, theu Herbert held out his hand. "I owe you too much, uncle, to refuse such a request," he said, iu a trembling voice. Colonel Overton grasped the proffered hand, then went slowly and thoughtfully from the room. Just at sunset the following day anther figure made its way across the moorland toward Briar Lodge?a taller, statelier figure than Herbert's. It was the Colonel himself. It was over twenty years since he had taken chat walk, and he hesitated now?almost afraid to ?U> - ? the slumbering passion of his youth. He had fought a loug, hard battle, and if he had not been victorious, he had at least retreated with flying coiors. Why should he jeopardize the little that remained of his future for the sake of Herbert's happiness? The thoughtless boy might be grateful to him for au hour, and then ho would live his life alone; for Madeline's daughter should uot hauut him always with her presence. That would be too much. At fifty, when the sun of youth is forever set, and the twilight shadows creep on apace, he should have peace, undisturbed by the gnawing of a pain which he thought dead. But as he strode along, his fine figure alert with graceful, easy motion, and an eager look iu his dark eyes, one might almost have laucied that the years which had silvered his hair had done no further damage. And ho was himself surprised to ntfd his ueart oeating with toe oia impatient throb, as he traversed the well remembered path. The sun had vanished behind the hill, leaving a misty pink trail, wliou at last Colonel Overton passed up the pretty walk which led to Briar Lodge. How strangely familiar everything looked without. The garden still ureand au unwonted flush came to his handsome face as he said "I am sorry for this, Herbert. Had you confided to me soouer I might have spared you much pain. Such a thiug cannot be thought of, and let me advise you, my boy, to go back to the city. The oniy hope for your peace of mind is to root out this unfortunate love." Herbert looked flushed and indignant. ? ! do not wish to root it out, uncle, you do not know Mildred. She is truth and sweetness itself." "The girl is like her mother," answered Colonel Overton; ll?he lorn t, at lpp^*- .iitr tbfDKs sue does, but on*WM/l noma nannol Kltf at hA OVilWVJS* VIJV DfllllC VI DM IVlj/V^Vl ) ?/HW 1*9 ? was a iinitted he noticed at once the subtle chauge that pervaded each nook unci corner. A blazing log fire cast grotesque lights over the roo n into wh:ch Colonel Overton was ushered, and he stood on the hearth preparing himself for an interview which would surely be a painful one to both. How would she meet him? With the same unembarrassed coldness that had so often wounded him? IIis conj;cturas came to a sudden halt, for Madeline had entered quietly, and now stood before him with outstretched hand and a faint smile hovering on lips which trembled in spite of all her etforts. "You are welcome, Greville," she said, using unconsciously the familiar ni> .1 .?to %w% otii unaltered face, he fell a strange, wild impulse to take hero in his arms and forget the intervening years. Somehow at the sight of him a crowd of tender memories swept .over the deeping heart of Madeline Vicars. A feeling deeper than friendship mads the blood mount slowly into ber check. She withdrew her hand from his grasp, and taid in a low, hurried voice, "I?T will i ring for lights. It is very gloomy here." "Oh, no," answered the Oolouel quickly; "I will not detain ycu long. Surely, after all these years, you canuot deny ine a few momenta." "I have never done that." "True," he interrupted. "It v/as voluntary banishment. I was afraid to ! come here, Madeline. Iain afraid to be here now, but thnt uecessity forces me." "You speak of the children?" she questioned. ? "I apeak of your daughter and toy nephew, who have most unfortunately formed an attachment for each other." "Unfortuuately ?" "Yea, I say unfortunately, for you know from experience how it may end. I caunot allow Herbert's lite to be wasted as mine waa. He is young, ambitious Hud clever. 1 have great hopes of him." The tears slowly tilled Mrs. Vickcrs's beautiful eyes. "You are hard," she ! murmured. "I thought?f thought?" I she paused. "Mildred's happit ess is j even dearer to nic.

But, if you truly wish to mend the breach between us, then it is your place to seek me'?not for Mildred's sake, nor Herbert's, nor even mine, but at tbe bidding of your own heart and desire." He gently disengaged her clinging hand, and left her to ponder his words. So while Mildred sang in the joy of her heart, Madeline went about her accustomed duties, dazed and bewildered. When the twilight came that meant so much to her, Bhe could bear it no longer; she left the lovers to their dreams, and scarcely giving herself time for thought, < she took her way across the moorland, halting? pj. last at the familiar gate.

The deaf ftnu dumb, as even one <uows, "speak'' by means of their ingers. How many words, then, can a ;ood hand-speaker form in a minute. According to the Postal Telegraph Department, the average number of letters per word in the English language is five. Now, a ready hand-speaker can make the English alphabet ten times in a minute?that is to say 260 letters. It is usu* il for him to pause for the space of one letter after each word to show that the word is complete. If, therefore, we subtract from the total just given about onesixth for these stoppages, the total will be reduced to 215 letters. Let this be divided by five, the average number of letters per word, and we shall lind that a fairly expert deaf and dumb person will speak forty-three words per minute.
