She was, as we /l^esaid, a plain, unattractive girl, and ? : 'a^nu;one had ever attempted to flirt with ;-neVsne was entirely innocent of any de t^afirevtb court admiration. On any other occasion Bhe would doubtless have re? sponded to the greeting of this young ; man with scant civility, but she could not resist tho temptation of exchanging a few ; words with somebody after her solitary ^existence of tho past three weeks. The young man addressed her so civfly and respectfully, and was evidently such a Jeuperior youns man?for he wore a black coat, and had a ring upon his finger and ? a goMch w'n across his vest?that the girl's habitual reticence vanished and she en? tered into conversation with him, in course i ; ctfwlrfch:he displayed a highly flattering ? appreciation of her condescension. She mads no objoction to his accompanying to the door of her master's house, after nearly an hour's pleasant chat parted in the most amicable manner, an understanding that the young might by chance be passing that way the same hour upon the following ng. simple adventure was an Important in Ellen's life, for it awakened in breast the first gleam of romance and ?ment that she had over experienced. j^The young man's words had sounded like ? soft music in her ears and had stirred up -the dormant tenderness of her nature. He had not made love to her, as she under Stood the word, there had been no attempt ijp^oarso horseplay which passes for gal lantry among her class. But he hod list? ened with interest to her artless remarks, . bad: told her frankly his position and lpro3pect3 ahd had pointedly inquired ^whether' she was "keeping company." - -Tins' was quite enough to send the girl blushing and giggling to her looking . gloss; there to gaze with newly awakened interest at her homely face, after which sho spent on anxious but happy evening turning over such tawdry bits of finery as sho possessed and fashioning them for the adornment of her uncomely person with tbo ardor and hopefulness of a society ' beauty preparing fOr conquest. The young man came the next evening - and the evening after that, in fact, for a whole week he presented himself at the door as regularly as the clock struck 0 to be received by the girl with increased as - surance and regard. Deliriously extrava? gant as the prospect seemed in sober mo ;ments, hi3 marked attentions left no room for doubt that ho contemplated inviting Ellen to share the'proprletorship of the snug wayside public house which he : talked of buying. Such afuture exceeded /the girl's wildest dreams of worldly pros perity, not-'to mention tho pride and hap? piness of securing the life long affections of the fascinating young man. The only '^drawback to her perfect bliss was that' 'ier d?ty to her mistress compelled her to wound her lover's susceptibilities by . whit he appeared to regard as a want of confidence.. It.must be confessed that a doorstep in a public street is notaroman '^tfo or convenient spot foratrysting place, -and the mildest flirtation under such cir cuxQstances Is apt to attract attention. The young man was evidently sensitive upon this, point, and frequently pressed Ellen either to admit him into the house or to accompany him for a walk along the street*.- But the girl, tame to her trust, notwithstanding that she regarded her admirer with every sentiment of honest respect and admiration, could not he per? suaded either to leave the house or to per? mit him even to set foot inside the door. It is hardly surprising that'the young man failed to appreciate this conscientious? ness, especially as Ellen could not give expression to the strong, innate'sense of duty" wfilch "enabled her to resist his per? suasion and blandishments. However, this trifling misunderstand? ing neve* assumed the proportions of a quarrel, and therefore did not interfere with the girl's new. born happiness. The young man" one evening gave her a present 'of-a pebble"'brooch, accompanying the gift with a few meaning words which thrilled Ellen's soul, for they might fairly have been interpreted into a downright proposal of marriage. Unfortunately a policeman, who happened to pass by just at that ecstatic moment, evinced most in? opportune and unreasonable curiosity at their proceedings and paused to watch ? them. .'This "caused them to separate Bomewhat abruptly, and Ellen retired to bed. in a state of suspense which would "have been absolutely maddening if she had really entertained tho smallest doubt on the subject of her lover's intentions. After a wakeful hour spent in delight? ful anticipations as to what the morrow would bring forth, she fell into a blissful -slumber with the pebble brooch grasped firmly in her hand. Suddenly in the mid? dle of the night she-started up wide awake, withJoud beating heart and trem? bling limbsC. She was not conscious of 'having been aroused by any sound, though such was doubtless tho cause of her alarm, ? for as ehe listened a cracking noise as of splintering wood fell distintcly on her ears.. Thieves! Burglars I This was her first ! and natural suspicion, bat now that the ' dreaded moment which for weeks past she had shuddered to think of had arrived ? her personal fears were overcome by an Instinctive desire to save her master's property. Without pausing to consider or reflect, she rushed from her room and frantically commenced to descend the stairs.. After a few steps sho was seized with a sudden spasm of alarm, and at the same instant?so strangely does the brain work in moments of excitement and dan? ger?she perceived that she stUl held in her hand the pebble brooch which her I young man had given her. Impulsively I she raised it to her lips and kissed it; and 'the action seemed to renew, her strength and courage. . Her intention had been not necessarily I to confront the burglars but to raise an ?alarm; and with this object she directed her stops toward the street door, for in her- fright and agitation she never thought j of the windows. When she reached tho I lower hall,-however, her attention was attracted by a light in the dining room, and sho walked straight in almost invol? untarily. At a glance sho saw that the place had been ransacked; tho doors of the sideboard were open and its contents ? scattered about, and in a corner were two men, one holding a candle while tho other was reaching out a variety of objects from the cupboard. " V: Before she could utter asound tho man with the candle glanced over his shoulder and caught sight of her. - Ho seized his j? companion by the arm, starting violently. Tha latter, at once turned round, and as . the light fell upon his faco Ellen with horror and amazement recognized her j young man! "What aro you doing here?" she cried [ ' "Never mind, my dear; you be off to i bed," replied the young man soothingly. ?'You've no business Here," she re j turned. ."Yes, wo have; and we are just adoing of it," said the second man, with a grin. K. "Cbme," said Ellen's young man, in a ' peremptory t?ne; "this ain't no affair of yours. There is nothing to be afraid of. Leave us alone and go to sleep again." "Richard, yon ain't agoing to toko them things?" said the girl, with a strange, sickening feeling at her heart "Go away ?for my sake!" "But I am going to take 'em," replied tho young man, looking at her coldly and defiantly. His tonp and manner were a revelation to the girl, and sho winced as though she had received a stab. Like a flash of light the truth burst upon her that the young fellow's attentions and protestations had been false. She realized his motives, and recalled to mind how she had innocently furnished him with information as to the contents of the house and the position of ? the articles of value. The fact that he was then occupied in rifling a cupboard which contained plate and silver showed that he had profited by his opportunities. "I'm agoing to take 'em, so you'd best make no bones about it," continued her young man, eying her savagely as she stood staring at him in speechless dis? tress. "You mustn't! They ain't yours! They are my master's!" cried the girl, sudden? ly recovering her senses. Impelled by tho thought of her master's Interest, Ellen advanced as she spoke and seized a ounuie wmcn. stooa on a cnair ready to bo carried off. At the same mo? ment her young man put his hand upon it, and his eyes?stern, wrathful, glitter? ing? looked dangerously into hers. "Leave it!" he whispered hoarsely. "Leave it, or by-" "Help!" cried the girl, uplifting her yolco in sheer terror at his threatening aspect. No sooner had she tittered a single cry than sho felt herself seized fiercely by the throat, and simultaneously a heavy blow which seemed to crash into her brain caused her to fall senseless with a dull thud upon the floor. I When tho girl recovered consciousness she could not at first recollect what had happened. By degrees she perceived that she was not in her own room and was lying upon bore boards. This discovery caused her to grope feebly about in the dark with her hands, which presently en? countered a spilt box of matches. With languid movements she raised herselfand struck a light, whereupon she remarked with mild astonishment that she was iu tho dining room. Observing a candle on a choir close by her, she contrived to get near enough to apply the match to it Then, as the feeble flame grew stronger and ceased flickering, she gazed vacantly around her upr *he open sideboard and the cupboard and the numerous odds and ends of things which were scattered about tho floor. Suddenly, with a thrill of horror and alarm, she realized the significance of the scene, remembered that tho house had been broken Into, that she had encoun? tered the thieves, and that?the fatal re? collection seemed to turn her blood to ice?her young man was one of them I Slowly and painfully, for she was so weak and giddy that she could hardly stand, the girl dragged herself up stairs to her room and commenced to dress her- I self, with the idea of fetching the police. But by the time she issued forth from the house sho had forgotten what her mission was; tho combined effects of the blow, the anguish of having contributed to the robbery, and the shock caused by her young man's infidelity, had set her mind wandering. She stood for a moment aim? lessly upon the doorstep until startled by a glimmering reminiscence of what had. occurred. This sufficed, however, to make her hurry off, panic stricken and horrified, neither turning to the right nor to the left, but plunging straight forward headlong in the darkness, each moment growing more frantically agitated, until she found herself upon a broad bridge, the lights upon which were reflected in the smooth, gliding surface of the swift running river below. ? * ?- ? * ? Mrs. Grosvenor Crescent was very much upset the next morning at receiving an intimation from the police that her house had been found deserted after having, ap? parently, been burglariously entered. Sho came up to town by the first train, entirely convinced that the girl Ellen was a traitor or thief, which is her firm convic? tion to this day. How else was the girl's disappearance to be accounted for but by the supposition that she had eloped with some male accomplice? To be Pure she had left some rags of clothing and her boxes, bnt what were these compared with the heavy booty she had secured. As a matter of fact, Mrs. Grosvenor Cres? cent had taken the precaution to send away nearly all her plate and valuables, so that her loss was comparatively trifling. Bnt she made none tho less of it for that, though she averred that she was chiefly distressed and grieved by the heartless in? gratitude of that girl Ellen, who had al? ways been treated with every kindness, consideration, etc. And the girl has never been heard of since, only one day a policeman called upon Mrs. Grosvenor Crescent to say that tho body of a young woman quite past recognition had been discovered in one of tho lower reaches of the river. In the j rigid hand or tuo poor corpse was found a common pebblo brooch, and the police wished to know whether it had belonged to her girl, Ellen, who had disappeared. Mrs. Grosvenor Crescent, glancing at it with a shudder, declared she had never seen it in Ellen's possession, and tho serv? ants said tho same; so it was evident that the melanchoy relic afforded no clew to the girl's'fate.?London Truth. AN ATHLETE'S CHAT. HE DOtS NOT BELIEVE IN EXERTION THAT TAXES THE STRENGTH. Good Physical Development Should be tho Kulo ltather Than the Exception. Tho Usual Gymnasium Apparatus Fit Only for Kindling Wood. John M. Laflln, tho "model man" of the Vienna exposition, is an accomplished athlete and a champion in several lines. For several years he stood in tho Paris Lifo school for Gerome and many other famous painters of tho human figure, and he has drawings of his form made by them, which show him to bo one of tho few perfectly formed men. In responso to the interviewer's request for a talk on the subject of exercising for health rather than for special development Mr. Laflin said: "One need not train like an athlete, and a man does not require a physique like mine to bo perfectly healthy, but if men and women could bo kept healthy for a few generations physical development like mine would be the rule, not the excep? tion. Nine tenths of tho diseases that now keep the doctors busy would be ab? solutely unknown. No healthy man ever got pneumonia, no matter what the ex? posure. There is no cose on record of a sailor having pneumonia. This is be? cause a sailor's lungs are kept in good order by pure air, and ho gets plenty of exercise: Tho amount of cxerciso neces? sary to keep the body In good condition is less than you might suppose. Fifteen minutes a day rightly employed will do wondero. A person ought to exercise a few minutes in the morning, and. then take a sponge bath in salted water, fol? lowed by vigorous rubbing with hah? gloves or a coarse towel. The movements of the muscles start the impurities to tho surface and the bath cleans the pores. The exercise ought to be light. "I don't believe in exertion that taxes the muscular strength. Heenan and all those old time athletes thought they must use hundred pound dumb bells and trot around with great lead soles on their shoes. That made them heavy and slow, and exhausted their strength needlessly. One pound dumb bells are heavy enough for anybody, and Indian clubs should not weigh more than four or five pounds at the outside. Gymnasts should not use heavy weights at all. What is needed to develop muscle is movement, action?not strain. You don't train a trotter by hitch? ing him to a loaded coal cart and making him drag that around the track. Hanlan doesn't get into a whale boat for a scull race. The lifting of heavy weights is bad for a man, and the men who trained them? selves to lift a ton killed themselves. Overtraining and overexerclsing of any kind is injurious, and that is why college ? boat racing Is not always a good thing." "What do you think of the usual gym? nasium apparatus?" "Well, I think it ought-to be split up Into kindling wood. Young fellows got into a gymnasium and see'an athlete on the bars. They try to do what he does, and the chances are they fall and break bones or strain beyond repair some cord or muscle which they have not been ac? customed to use. All exorcises that bring tho weight of tho body on the arms stretched above the head aro bad. The position is unnatural and strains tho cords of the breasts. Horizontal bars and rings aro not health giving devices. A man wasn't made to hang head downward. He can get all tho exercise he needs with his head higher than his feet and his blood flowing in its natural course. I don't ap? prove of foot racing either, because it i puts too much strain upon the heart and the blood vessels. Moderate running, however, is all well enough when one is accustomed to it. Some people think walking affords all the exercise one needs, but that is not so. It exercises only the legs at the expense of the body. It is good, but it is not enough. Carried to an extreme it is positively bad. If you overdevelop one set of muscles and neg? lect tho rest the neglected muscles and organs deteriorate as fast as tho others develop.. Take ballet dancers, for ex? ample. They get their legs in prime con? dition, and can perform wonders in the way of jumping and kicking, but they grow narrow chested aud thin necked, their stomachs get disordered, and nearly all of thorn die of consumption. "In summer people are more healthy because they cannot help it. They per? spire and wear clothing that is not air tight. In winter they pile on the clothes and suffocate themsolvcs. The skin grows torpid, and dead scarf skin forms, locking up the pores just as the ice look? up a river. And then they attributo conges? tions, torpid liver and blood, colds and chills to the weather. What they need is exercise to open tho pores, rough nibbing to cut away the dead skin and salt sponge baths to clean and harden tho cuticle. Follow that system daily and you will find yourself less and less sensitive to cold. "For women nothing is so beneficial as rowing. Most of them foolishly put the abdominal muscles out of commission by wearing corsets and tight clothes, and all kinds of diseases are the result. Only civilized women have these troubles'. The Indian mother walks about freely with a day old child in her arms. The white lady says that is vulgar and like tho ani? mals, well, a white lady is an animal and usually, a very unnatural and poor specimen of an animal at that. It is the animal in us that keeps us alive, and if we neglect it we pay the penalty in disease, suffering and premature death. Women who are weak, suffering, and un ablo to get any comfort in life could cure themselves by rowing. Small dumb bells aro good also. One can exercise a great many muscles with them, and by using one pound dumb bells tho danger of in? jury that formerly accompanied this style of exercise is avoided. "Using heavy bells is worse than use? less. You can get up all the perspiration you want by swinging a pound of Irop in each hand in lively fashion for a minute or two. Ii you do not perspire freely or ore subject to pains in the joints or mus? cles, or your circulation is sluggish, you can attach a battery to the bells. That is a new idea and a very good one."?New York Sun. Dangers of n Sudden Change. A writer recently called attention to the great danger to tho health of tho human organism by a drop of 50 to 75 degrees in the temperature occurring in an hour or two, and then charges that wo doily pro? duce just such a change in a few seconds by going from a warm room into the cold air of tho streets. I suppose the writer would have each house constructed with a number of compartments, each varying in temperature, and in each of which the person going out must remain from fifteen minutes to an hour, possibly, beforo he gets into the cold air outdoors. Ho ex? hibits very httlo knowledge of the laws of physiology as applied to tho respiratory organs. He assumes that a person leaving a warm room, say at a temperature of G5 degrees, and going out of the house into ono of zero, is doing the same thing as ex? posing his poorly clad body to just such a change of external temperature; that is, that he is bathing the lungs and air cells with this cold air, and thereby subjecting tho lungs, and through them the entire system, to all the effects of a change of temperaturo from C5 degrees to zero. Ho does not know that the lungs once inflated with air are never again wholly free from it, and that.a certain amount of "re? sidual" air always remains in the lungs at each expiration. This "residual air" mingles with tho inspired air, and thus warms it up before it comes in contact with tho delicate air cells. He does not. seem to know that the oxygen of tho cold air ho breathes is part of the fuel which is continually consumed in tho lungs, thus creating a fire which will stand any amount of change in tempera? ture and the individual still go unharmed, if the external surface of the body is well protected.?Cor. Chicago Tribune. Artistic Printing and Commerce. It is not on the holiday trade alono that tho lithographers depend, though it forms tho most important part of their business. Artistic printing has become a necessity in commercial circles, and the^holiday card houses* get a great deal of it. Calendars and business cards are now made after tho fashion of the most elaborate chromos. Pictures by artists of eminence are pur? chased at high prices, to be converted into show cards for soap and silk, for canned goods and cotton thread, for tobacco and cigarettes, and nearly everything else that can be sold on retail. I know an artist in this city who received $5,000 for a picture of a yacht race to advertiso a new style of silk. I know another who painted somo of his thost beautiful and high priced sketches to furnish a lithographer with calendars for insurance companies.?* Alfred Trumblo in New York News. THE GREAT LONDON DAILY. G. W. SrauHoy Talks About Tbo London Times and Its Peculiarities. The position of tho London Times is unique in journalism. Its circulation is ndt stated, but it probaby issues about 75,000 copies each day. This figure, how? ever, does not represent its actual circu? lation, for tho English newsdealers have a peculiar system of lotting out Tho Times. A single copy is sont each morn? ing to four or five persons, each of whom pays a penny for the privilege of reading ?the paper for an hour or two. This cus? tom arises from the high price of Tho Times, which is 3 penco (6 cents), while the other papers are sold for a penny (2 cents) each. The Times, however, has lost nothing by tho prosperous growth of its rivals; indeed, in one sense, the other journals are not rivals, they aro but con? temporaries. The Times has maintained itself in power and circulation, notwith? standing tho rapid growth of the penny press. This may bo accounted for in vari? ous ways. The Times is the oldest of the great English dailies, and tho English? man, as you know, reverences an author? ity which comes with age. Tbe Times has always been the authority in English journalism, and it is almost a religious belief with Englishmen that it must always be so. Then, again, it is tho policy of Tho Times to engage tho ablest writers. Other journals havo Individual contribu? tors as able as those of Tho Times, but it is the policy of tho latter to have tho most and to pay tho most. The Standard, we will say, may havo to-day an editorial on a given topic equal to or possibly superior to that of Tho Times, but, on tho whole, tho columns of tho latter are the best written, como nearest to repre? senting public opinion nnd havo tho most authentic information. The Times keeps nearest the popular movement and the popular opinion; it has its touch on tho popular pulso more surely than its con? temporaries. It may sometimes bo out? done in this respect, but not often and not for long. It is also the great organ of publicity. If the average Englishman has a letter to write to tho press?and Eng? lishmen are proverbial for this?ho seuds it, not to The Telegraph, The Standard, The Morning Post or The Chronicle, but to The Times; if he wishes to keep abreast of the movements of the world he reads Tho Times each morning. Not that he neglects other journals, but whether it agrees with his views or not he looks upon tho Thunderer as a necessity. And yet Tho Times has its faults. It is, for one thing, tho worst sub-edited paper in England. I do not think that we uso the term "sub-edited" very com? monly in America, but I refer to what we call hero tbo "make up" and other details of tho paper. Tho Times matter is not classified. If it contains half a dozen com? munications, or half a dozen items of news, or half a dozen dispatches pertain? ing, to a single subject, thoy will very likely be found in half a dozen portions of tho paper, as if they had wandered in at haphazard. And it is careless about local news. The Times has its peculiari? ties as well. It is a sacred custom, which has never been and probably never will be violated, that seems to necessitate in that journal, however great may be the pressure of the matter or whatever mighty event may have occurred, that The Times shall contain every morning four leading articles, each a llttlo over a column in length. For example, one on English politics, ono on Continental politics, one on an ecclesiastical theme and one upon literature, art, scieno or social matters. ?G.W. Smolley in Tho Journalist. Tbo Bost After Dinner Speakers. The best after dinner speakers In New York ore light eaters and light drinkers. Most of them do littlo more then toy with the choico viands that are set before them at public banquets, and some of them es? chew wines altogether. Chauncey M. Depew occasionally takes a sip or two of champagne with his partridge or canvas back, but tho most observing veteran in Delmonico's corps of waiters has never yet seen Henry "Ward Beecher drink any? thing hut Apollinaris water. "William M. Evarts drinks a gloss or two of vdne with apparent relish, hut he always stops with the second gloss. The witty Horace Por? ter partakes sparingly of each wine as it. is served with tho different courses. Ex Postmaster General Thomas L. James, Judge Noah Davis and Wayno MacVeagh usually confine themselves to the spark? ling, but not exciting, Apollinaris. Ros coe Conkling seldom raises a glass of wine to his lips in public, and tho polished Jo? seph H. Choate rarely empties his first glass. There ore some practical banqueters, it is true, that can "eat, drink and be merry" without losing liithor their wits or their dignity. The guntle stimulus of good Burgundy is sometimes needed to clear away tho cobwebs from a speaker's brain and loose his tongue for action. Tho brilliant "Sunset" Cox lakes his sherry, his Sauterne, his claret, his extra dry and his small brandy in their proper order, but his wit loses nothing of its pungency in consequence, nor does his language trans? gress the laws of decorum. Ex-Senator George H. Pendleton is a champagne drinker, but ho makes a dignified and flu? ent after dinner speech, even after imbib? ing what would put a man of less sturdy stomach under tho table.?New York Times.

Boston, worshiped by its resi? dents as the ono spot on the earth nearest Paradise, has learning, hut after all, New York has more of it. Philadelphia has size, manufactories and wealth, but tho place is dull, slow and monotonous com? pared with New York. Baltimore boasts of its old families and beautiful women, but New York surpasses oven tho Monu? mental City in these particulars. New York is tho ono groat city, the metrop? olis of the Union. London, Paris, Berlin and St. Petersburg are also metropolitan and attract tho money, tho brains, tho so? ciety, tho fresh, strong blood of their re? spective countries. lu New York you con meet any and every one. Tho leading men of all other cities spend much of then* time in New York. Why? Because it is hero they must come to buy if they want a large stock from which to select, if they want the assistance of precedent, style, taste, experience, etc. Hero is to be found tho freshest and best of all things from all kinds of markets, from literature and tho drama to the newest styles of men's and women's garments. Tho wealthy, tho intelligent, aro dependent upon New York all over tho land. Tho jewelry they wear and buy for wedding, birthday and Christmas presents, is manufactured in Now York; tho magazines they read, the illustrated boota which decorate their tables are published in New York. They como hero to buy pictures, bric-a-brac und clothes.?New Yorlt Cor. Cleveland Leader. Tho Eskimo and tho Seal. In tho spring, snOw disappearing from the ice, the seals aro exp?eed to view. Then tho hunter takes another way of getting at them. First of oil he r.otices tho direction of tho wind, and therukeeping his enemy in it, walks to witliiJfcj--^500 yards of him. From t here jjg^ jfouch down and to advance oiM BTeal Is not looking. The v^fl K tho habit of throwing up his head quickly every few seconds and looking about, and so, when within about 200 yards( the native lies down flat upon the ice. It is only now that real sport commences. Seal takes Eskimo, who is able to talk seal perfectly, to be one of his brothers, and, indeed, thero is a great deal of resemblance between the species, for the genus homo is dressed in sealskin, and, living largely upon its flesh, is similarly odorous. The two lie on the ice for perhaps half an hour, keeping up a sort of broken conversation, part of which is conducted in the ordinary way, and part by means of peculiar gestures, until tho Eskimo has crept to within about thirty yards of his outwitted companion. The animal's eye, then being clearly visible, is no sooner turned from the hunter than ho presents Iiis rifle and fires. The seal, if shot through the head, is killed instantly; hut if hit in any other place defeats his enemy by disappearing through the ice.? Toronto Mail. After tho Seven Days' Fight. In addition to what I have already said I only wish to say to tho president that I think ho is wrong in regarding mo as un? generous when- I said that my force was too weak. I merely intimated a truth which to-day has been too plainly proved. If, at this instant, I could dispose of ten thousand fresh men I could gain the victory to-morrow. I know that a few thousand more men would have changed this battle from a de? feat to a victory. As it is, the govern? ment must not and cannot hold me re? sponsible for tho result I feel too earnestly to-night. I have seen too many dead and wounded com? rades to feel otherwise than that tho gov? ernment has not sustained this army. If you do not do so now the game is lost If I save this army now, I tell you plainly that I owe no thanks to you or to any other persons in "Washington. You have done your best to sacrifice this army.?McClellan's Letter to Secretary Stanton. A keen Chcrlestonian is selling samples of carthquako cand for 25 cents.

Now, from off tho ashy stono The chilly midnight cricket crieth, And all merry birds are flown, And our dream of pleasure dleth; Now tbo once- blue, laughing sty Saddens into gray, And tbo frozen river's sigh, Pining all away) Now, how solemn are the times! Tho winter times 1 tho night times! ?Bryan Waller Procter. Filling a Horse's Tooth. Mr. Harry Clement's black gelding Joker, was led to the light and a largo but harmless wooden gag was placed in his mouth. Dr. Kelly now wiped out the mouth carefully and began prodding around tho cups on the upper teeth. It did not tako long to prove that four out of the six needed attention, so with the necessary burrs tho decayed part was soon removed, showing tho good, sound part of the tooth. Tho surface was then smoothed and the necessary notches or elbows made; tho nerve was neatly covered with a com? position, and the real work of filling the tooth began. Amalgam, a white metal, was used, as it would harden quickly and could bo put in place by hand pressure. The tooth was thoroughly dried, and the composition pushed into tbo cavity. It is necessary here to state that tho samo caro was used that the dentists ex? ercise in filling a tooth for a human being, only in place of a rubber protector. a chamois skin kept all the moisture away from the tooth. The work of getting the filling in properly requires some care, and unless great caro is taken it will cause the undertaking to prove a-failurc. It is cus? tomary not to fill the cavity up flush to tho grinding surface, for the composition would not last long against tho surface of the corresponding lower tooth, but to stop when, say, two-thirds through, and then leave a convex surface. This sur? face, when hard, is burnished and finished tho samo as a gold Ailing would bo. Dr. Kelly, while tho reporter was thero, filled four teeth for Joker, and it was amusing to see the intelligent little gelding open his jaws and stretch out his neck as if tho removing of the de? cayed and tho passing of tho file over the good part gave him a great deal of sat? isfaction. As soon as tho job was finished the horse was given a drink and then led away to his large box stall, whero he quickly attacked tho hay rick, eating better, the groom said, than he had for months. This new science will be of great bene? fit to owners of horses generally, and many a cross and ugly driver will bo changed into a quiet, docilo animal.?St. Louis Critic. A French Flower Farm. There is on tl>e ma*itiu:e foot hills, in the di part men I of Var, a flower farm of about seventeen acres, belonging toMme. d? Kootaing. It.is about 2,000 feet above the levol of the Mediterranean, and perhaps twenty miles from the coast. The calcerous soil was naturally thin and poor, and the olive trees which had occu? pied the ground for a century or more previous to 1881, yielded but scanty and unsatisfactory return?, and the land was regarded as practically worthless. In 1881 the proprietress caused the ground to be cleared and prepared for flower cul? ture. It was dug to the depth of four feet, and the larger stones removed. In the autumn of 1881, 45,000 tufts of violets, und 140,000 roots of the white jasmine, were planted. The following spring the remainder of the ground was planted with roses, geraniums, tuber?se-?, and jonquih, and a laboratory erected for the manufacture of perfumes. The location proved to have been well chosen, the flower plant grew vigorously and strong, and in 1885 (the fourth year after planting) the flower farm of Seillans, which hud previously yielded a rental of $115 a year, produces (according to the statement of the proprietress) perfumes valued at ?43,154, and giving a net profit of $7,767.86. Of course the plants and shrubs at Seillans have not yet reached their full productive capacity, but the results of the fourth year illustrate, sufli ciently how lucrative flower farming may become, in favorable location and under good management.? Washington Post. Six Suicides. The Bible gives an account of six suicides: 1.

There was an exciting con? test between the five candidates, all estimable ladies, and Mrs. Lowe did not win until the twenty-fifth ballot was taken. She is the widow of a Methodist minister, who left her penniless. After her husband's death Mrs. Lowe took the money she received from the insurance on his life and paid it over to settle bis debts, saying that "not one blot should be left on the dead husband's name, even for the sake of a living wife and eight living children." Since then Mrs. Lowe has earned a support for herself and fami? ly by the w irk of her own ha?ds. The Tennessee Legislature honored itself when it recognized and rewarded such nobility of character.
