A lovely womau was she, and the stoniest of cynics could not blame her for smiling in admiration of her own beauty reflected back to her in the , polished glass. As she lingered thus there | was a sadden movement of feet in the hull j i below. She listened. "Charley musn't get impatient," ?he j murmured. "I shall not be ready any i sooner." With puff in hand she was enhancing by a deft touch here and there the alabaster j whiteness of the glorious complexion. A knock sounded at the door. "In a minute," she sweetly observed.: "Tell Charley I'll be ready in just a minute." j She was applying the puff with the most! engaging deliberation. The knock was re- j pea ted louder than before. "Run for your life, roared a rough voice j through the keyhole, "the house is on fire." J She was looking archly over her shoulder to gain aside view of her queenly figure. "In a minute," she softly replied. One of the golden tresses had escaped from the restraining pins and hung mockingly beside the shell-like ear. "Dear me," she exclaimed petulantly, "it does seem as if something must be wrong all the time." In readjusting the coiffure she dislodged some of the powder from her glorious cheek. "Plague take it, I shan't "Fire! fire!" rang the distracted shout through the whole house. "In a minute, I say. I do wish tu?y would be a little more patient." Presently the damask of the fair countenance was restored. "Break down the door." It seemed as if many noisy men were gathered at the very threshold of her boudoir. "I'll be ready in a minute," she called in dulcet tones?tones that nature makes her sweetest sound and places in the throat of woman. "The fire is right under you." "I'm coming directly." With a last smiling glance at the counterfeit of her beautiful self, she carelessly threw a cloak about her snowy shoulders and opened the door. "I am ready." They were obliged, tftc stairway being burned, to carry her down a ladder, but the triumph was hers. Neither man nor the elements could make her hurry at her toilet. { A Smart Young Trader.?There was once a worthy Presbyterian minister, who, while sitting in his study, was interrupted by a small boy who had by some way or other gained admission, to sell the good man some young pups. "I do not want any dogs, my boy," said the divine. "But these are Presbyterian pups," persisted the youngster. The old gentleman, however, would not have them and the disappointed boy withdrew. Home days afterward while visiting a friend who was a Universalist, the minister was astonished to see the same boy come in and offer to sell his friend some pups. "Good Universaiisist pups," said the chap. This was too much for the Dominie, who said to the boy, "Are you not the same boy that tried to sell me these pups the other day?" "Yes, sir." "And did you not tell me then they were Presbyterian pups?" "Yes, sir." "Then how can they be Universalist pups, now?" "Because they have had their eyes opened since then," said the little chap. It is needless to add he sold the pups. Not a Proposal.?The young man's fuce was flushed and his manner was strangely agitated. As he addressed the fair girl before whom he stood, a faint tremor was noticeable in his voice. "Miss Blanch," he said, "I hesitated about , coming to you, but my feelings have overpowered me at last. Will it be too much for , me to ask?" "Pray gc on," said the maiden, with heart ] wildly beating, as his voice faltered. Yes, they were coming, the words that she and her dear mamma bad so long waned tor. "Pray go on," she said again, as he still stood, looking at her with burning eyes. "I came to ask you, Miss Blanch?" "Yes," she smiled encouragingly." "If it would be too much trouble for you to write off* that recipe which you said you had for warding off the grippe. I'm sure I am going to have it, and those confounded doctors always charge two prices for a prescription."?Pharmaceutical Era. tST Five-year old Dorothy goes to Sundayschool, and always learns the golden text.

Prkhkrvim; Egos.?The following is among the best methods known for preservhigeggs : Take twenty-four gallons of water, twelve pounds of unslacked lime, and four pounds of salt, or in that proportion accordto the quantity of eggs to be preserved ; stir it well several times a day, and then let it stand till the liquor has settled and is perfectly clear. Draw or carefully dip ofT the clear liquid, leaving the sediment at the bottom. Take for the al>ove amount of liquid five ounces each of baking soda, cream of tartar, saltpeter and l>oiax and an ounce of alum. Pulverize and mix these, and dissolve in one gullon of boiling water, und arid to the mixture about twenty gallons of pure lime water. This will about fill a cider barrel. Put the eggs in carefully, so as not to crack any of the shells, letting the water always stand an inch above the eggs, which can be done by placing a barrel head a little smaller upon them and weighting it. This amount of liquid will preserve 150 dozen eggs. It is not necessary to wait to get a full barrel or smaller package of eggs, but they can be put in ut anytime that they can be obtained fresh. But the same liquid should be used only once.?Southern Fancier. ^ ? ? Rtleh for a Clear Skin. -Don't bathe in hard water; soften it with a few drops of ammonia, or a little l?orax.

"Plow them up, dig them up, or cut them up, or cut them ; down." Not one should mature its seeds. IftjTThe best way to feed corn to fattening j cattle is first to boil it in the ear. If fed whole and not boiled, much of it passes undigested, and if ground it costs ten per cent.j more, besides the trouble of taking it to the mill; and then when cattle are fed heavily more or leas of the meal is not digested. If boiled, both corn and cob are soft and easily ' eaten, and not one particle passes unappro- j priated.

But after she became afflicted with royalty she found that a queen is not allowed to have a great many privileges that the humblest of her subjects can boast. For instance, she isn't allowed to handle a newspaper of any kind, nor a magazine, nor a letter from any person except from her own family, and no member of the royal family or household allowed to speak to her of any piece of news in any publication. All the information the queen is allowed to have must first bo strained through the intellect of a man whose business it is to cut out from the papers each day what he thinks she would like to know. These scraps he fastens on a silk sheet with a gold fringe all about it, and presents to her unfortunate inajestj'. This silken sheet, with gold fringe, is imperative for all communications to the queen. Any one who wishes to send the queen a personal poem or communication of uny kind (except a personal letter, which the poor lady isn't allowed to have at all) must have it printed in gilt letters on one of these silk sheets with gold fringe, just so many inhcH wide und no wider, mi aooni 11.

The queen was delighted with the collection and kept it for three months, turning over the leaves frequently with great delight.

Mountains ani> Vai.i.kyh ok Hai.t.?In Lincoln county, Nevada, on the Rio Virgin river, there is a deposit of pure rock salt, which is exposed for a length of two miles by half a mile in width. No living man knows the depth of the deposit or the conditions which brought it about. It is known, however, that the "vein" is plowed hy the canyons of immense rivers which have furrowed it to a depth of sixty to 100 feet, making for themselves hanks of crystal salt as pure and clear as the clearest ice or glass. The "sand" of these rivers is almost wholly composed of pure crystals of salt.

In breaking the glass she of course cut herself most horribly.

('.: DcarHIr: I liuvc owned u Corbin Mule Jiurrow for several years, and consider U the most useful and economical farming Implement of which i have any knowledge. .Mr. Corbin has done more for the farmer than all the politicians, reformer*, etc., combined. He has done something practical. No fanner can fall to Ikj lienefltted by the uxe of the JIarn>w, and the more it Ik UHcd t he greater the benetlt or profit. It Ik almoKt the only so-called improved farming implement that I have ever seen that would doall IIk manufacturers claimed for It, anil the only one that would do more. Kvery farmer should have one and a man who Ik able to buy fertilizer* for hi* land Ik more able to buy a Corbin Disk Harrow. The time will come when the Corbin I)lsk Harrow will be copsldcred a* much of a necessity on the farm a* the wagon, sewing machine, cooking stove, and I might say, the plow; and the | sooner It comes the better for the farmer. It only I takes a fiirmer, who has lieen accustomed to the old! way of doing things, about one hour to realize how much time and labor he has literally wasted ls*fore | he used the Corbin Harrow) In conclusion, let me 1 say that I would not pretend to farm without It.

All thut Is necessary on cotton stalk land Is to rip up the stalks, sow the wheat or outs on the ground, unu run the harrow over It. I can take a disk harrow and two strong mules and sow six to eight urre* of wheat or outs iiauduy. Now Just think what a suvingof time and lulsrr this Is?the work of at least six mules und six hands by the plan commonly pursued by our farmers! Another jsdnt In favor of the hurrow Is this: You cuu tuke almost any kind of Improved farming Implement, and In order to succeed with It you must have your land In apple pie order, while with the Corbin Hurrow the rougher the land the better the work It d?>os?It usks no favors. I have a great deal of wire gross on the Poor House farm and am sure that by running the harrow over It ubout twice, I will have It in u shape that it will give me no more trouble.
