j His M,miy Wife j The first beams of a-JUDO sun were shining upon a world of dew and blossoms. Birds were einging everywhere, and which made the di villis t music, the robins in the orchard or the bobolinks in tho meadow, it was hard ta choose. So thought Jimmie Thompson no; hastily rising^from his little bed une er tho eaves of fanner Thomp son s big farmhouse, he prepared hiniself for tho duties of the day. It was a busy season on the farm, for ?hay was to bo cut, end tho ring of the scythes ia thfl women were grinding them to an ?dge on the old grindstone already rose vpon the air. "I wonder what mamma will say to find me lato again?" murmured the youngster as he hurriedly donned his simple garments and tripped lightly down tho stairs. Breakfast was already laid in the big stono paved kitchen, and tho de lie ious fragrance of coffee, mingled with that of frying ham, forecasted a tempting feast. Somewhat timidly Jimmie, stole into tho room and took his place &t the table. He ives, an only son, and, although loved by his stern mother and hui yielding and moro gentle ipirited jfataer withVa love that shrank nt m>. sacrifice in his behalf, there was tuut in the strict disci pline ever maintained by his mother, cQmbined with a naturally sensitive and docil? nature, which had re pressed bur poor Jimmie and given him an air of quiet hardly consistent with his bright eyes and hair of willful shining gold. "Late again, my son, and for the third morning!" . remarked his mother as tho young mon took his seat and carefully tucked the napkin of snowy linen under his chin. "See that this offense ia riot repeated or you may go breakfastless." A mutinous look darkened for a moment tho eye? of tho youth, and he was about'to'speak when a firm, -quick ?tep was heard entering the outer porch, and a sharp .knock smote the panels of the wood shed door., A wp ve of ro&y color swept over Jimrni? Thompson's sweet, face as, v hurriedly rising, he left tho kitchen to answer the summons. "Good"morning, my darling--my rosebud boy in the garden of boysl" ?aid a low voice as a hasty'kiss was pressed upon tho lips of the youth, and he felt himself strained te a womanly breast. For only an instant could the lovers (for such they were) .remain in the outer shed before the stern 'Voice Of Mrs. Thompson bade the .visitor enter.. It was a grand young woman who stepped with uncovered head into Ithe midst of the Thompson house hold and gavo it courteous greeting, One had but to look on the high ; oro wy the steadfast mouth, and thc firm poise of the statuesque, chin tc know that he stood ur the presence .of eue cf nature'^noblewomen. Her garments, although scrupu lously neat, bespoke the working woman, and there was that in th? -clear, sunburnt tint of lier v fact which told of Outdoor toil. There was a brief silence as J?in mie, with a pleading look in th< -direction of nis mother, ^r?sum?e vhis seat. "Good morning, sad Mrs thompson at l?st? somewhat grimly laying aside her fork and reaching ior a toothpick."What brings yoi ?out BO early?" "On, I've been stirring since lon?; before dawn," responded tho.'youm woman. "I have cut the swain] half aero and cm going over on tbj beech meadow now. I dropped ii ; on my way to see if I could get th loan of your horse fake this after ; shall be using it myself/' sah Mrs. Thompson in tones of studio* insolence, ''arid if I were not I don' know that I should caro to lend it." "'Oh', mother i" fried Jimmie" an? his father in reproachful ?nisor "l?ow con yon?" \ Tho young woman who had thu .unexpectedly been subjected to Mri .Thompson's rudo speech, shifted lie position lightly and whiio a- dee; Husk .stole into lier brown cheek rc marked, with an apparent effort a self control: "I dp not understand you, mad -ara. i Wo have been in tho habit c exchanging horse r?kes f|m? othe courtesies.

"Shall I I tell you? No, $eek not to silence^ me, Jimmie I" she exclaimed as the j palo young mon foll at her feet and* . bursting into tears, implored her to speak' r?o further. '**You came, miss, to woo this yovi^ and innocent man! You carno to .whisper hoi rid words into his ear and gather unto yourself tho fresh and guileless de votion of .bis unsopbistic?lecl heart! You, a farm laborer, a moneyless girl without any axpectations-you would pluck this sweet bud of man hood and bear it away from the parent stein, where it has clung for twenty odd years, when you well know that you have net even so much as a delft pot or a pewter vase to put it into! You think the old woman's''eyes have been blind, but I have watched you both, and the game is up ! Jimmie shall go to his Aunt Susan's today and bo close ly guarded until this wild fancy is forgotten. As for you, take yourself from my presence und ne vcr darken my dcors again. Horse rake in deed!

By the love I know you bear to me, speak not that Srofane word!" cried the fainting immio as he drew himself to his mother's feet and clasped her kneer "Your commands/ dear I mamma, aro too lav\ I cannot obey j you and make my homo with Aunt ] Susan, for my lot is already cast, and none but heaven can recast it." i "What mean, you, boy?" cried tho haughty mother as she bent and1 raised the sweet face of her son, looking long and piercingly into the streaming eyes. "I mean,' faltered Jimmie, sud denly rising and hiding his blushing face upon the bosom of his weeping father, "I mean" "He means," interrupted the young woman, who until now had preserved her calm and courteous quiet, "that the laws of the stat? last night gave him into my keeping forever! Your son and I were mar ried last evening by Judge Henry Grover Booth, and I stand here now to claim my lawful husband/' "Jimmie,"- shrieked tho frenzied mother, snatching the man from bis father's arms, where ho. clung, and turning his tear wet face to meet lier gaze, "does ti li bold woman - speak the truth ?" "She does !" cried Jimmie as with, a bound he leaped into the strong arms held to receive him, and the young husband fainted upon tUejfl bosom of bis young bride. But little remains to ba told. A reconciliation was , effected late in the fall, and-erH^wiater snow fell tho noble wife was adopted into bot&lB homo and hearts of lier gentle hus band's parents. Together they soothed the last day6 of the excel lent but somewhat mercenary Wid ow Thompson, long after her gentle|B husband. had been gathered to his rest, and there is no happier couple in broad and blossoming Crane county today than Jimmie Thomp son and his manly wife. Paying an Old Debt. Mr. Davis' som a stalwart-young man, had returned from college. 'Tattier/'-he said, "when I was Cy boy mother used to make your old clothes over for me, didn't she ?" "I think she did; sometimes, Henry," answered Mr. Davis. "Woil, I am glad it is within my power to make some sort of recom pense/' ^said Henry, .. opening his suit case. "Here is an evening suit a tailor, made for me a year or two ago. I have entirely outgrown it, but I think it will just fit you, and ' it's as good as new. Suppose you try it.on?' . Being a sensible man, Mr.. Davis Swallowed whatever pride may have been involved in the transaction and tried tho garments on. They did fit him perfectly. "They're yours, fr?her/' said Henry loftily.--Youth's Companion. VVeddlm' Announcement.

Children. >ar? tho HRH WHEN V Th* Fashions Tnai Usad to Rule ; In * England and France. In King Charles ll.'s reign in England a physician or a judge's ability was gauged by the size ol bis wig. Ladies, had the hair frizzed and adorned with artificial "heartbreak ers" and "lore locks" Later on^ iii William and iliuys time, youths and children wore wigs. In these times combing the wig in public was considered the proper thing. Steele's large black wig cost him 40 guineas, but it was the fashion to have a large wig, and money was no object. Tho Duviller full bottomed wigs were invented by and named after a French barber who made them to conceal the elevation in the shoulder of tho dauphin. Wig makers when short of material would often resort to foul means to obtain hair, some times holding up children and shsar ing off their locks. Will Atkins, Charles IL's gout doctor, wore a three tailed wig care fully frizzed and arranged to foll on each cheek, and for fear of obscur ing part of the beauty of his wig he generally went hatless. Another man of lame was Colonel Dui ni ahoy, whose splendid wig was a theme in popular song of tho time. in tho eighteenth century poi soned wigs were used at times for murderous purposes. A duke of Holstein, being warned, made the wig maker who. offered the wig to him wear it on his own head, with the result that the wig maker sud denly died. . Dr. Samuel Johnson, being near sighted, Was in the habit of holding a candle close to his head while reading, and in that manner often burned tho front of his wig. His expense for wigs must have been no small item. In one of his letters to Sir Joshua Reynolds, Oliver Goldsmith men tions having bought a new ribbon for his wig at Canterbury, and a Calais barber broke it po that he might make an txtra sixpence by supplying the poet with a new one. Scncoc of Animals. j An Austrian scientist, having j studied the special senses of animals, I especially the senses of reptiles and amphibians, concludes that these latter are capable of going directly toward water, which attracts them, so to say, even at long distances. Light acts upon them independently i of heat. In winter they quit warm lairs to go to sunlight. Their sight is generally good and is probably . their most acute Bense; yet their ; vision is very limited. Crocodiles cannot distinguish a man at dis . tances about ten times their length, j'Fish see for only short distances, j The vision of serpents is poor. The ; boa constrictor, for example, can see ; no farther than a third of its own r length. Some snakes eeo no f author : than one-eighth of their length, j Frogs are better endowed arid see twenty times their length. The hearing of all these animals is even i worse than their sight; Mpst rep tiles are deaf, especially boa con strictors. 'Deaf as an adder" may represent a careful observation of our ancestors.--Medical News.. IH I 'l MIPMM. ?? IPI I III ll M I j The Only Way. A kind hearted woman who was j. walking the other day through one of the streets in the vicinity of Fair? I mount park saw a little boy. sitting ; on the curbs tono crying bitterly. I Her heart was at ?' onco touched, j and, going up to the little fellow, she asked him the cause of his grief. Looking up through his tears he ex plained that his mother had sent j him with some "pennies to a nearby 1 grocery store and that ho had lost the money. . ! "Well," said the woman, as she put bei* hand on tho boy's head, i "shedding tears will not bring .back ! your money. What makes you cry that way?" . . " 'Cause," answered the boy, as bo looked at. the ; woman perplexedly, "I r'in't know how to cry any other way.";-jPhiladeiphia Ledger. > A Wst??f monkey. Hov,- many people know what a water monkey is? It is. a utensil quite commonly used in tho tropics and is nothing more or less than a 1 jug of very porous clay with, a small mouth and provided with means for hanging it up. It is always hung in a breezy spot, if ono can bo found, and the water contained in it be comes qomparatively c?ol-*a point ' of much importance in ?'arm coun tries, where a drink of cool water cannot always be easily obtained. |g& - -- . Embarrassment of Riches, In a prebminhry debate over the question of n 'museum - grant for Wales much of the discussion, says the London Chronicle, turned on the fact that Wales is without a capital.

Tho man who seeks notoriety by placarding his name where he hus ! no business to put it merely adver-1 tis es Iiis own smallness. Why is it j that some people mu<it record the . momentous occasion of their visit to a notable placo by chopping initials on tree trunks'or scrawling names with lead pencil wherever a surface suitable for inscription is presented to their restless gaze ? Some years ago there waa a na tional convention of tho knights of something or other held in Wash ington. Besides the eminent sirs there were in tho capital a few peo ple of unexcited station who desired , to go . down the Potomac as far'as j Mount Vernon. They were quite in- { dignant when they found that the tombs of Washington and his wife 1 were covered inches deep with the 1 cards of delegates to the convention and that more cards were for thc om-1 ing in the very face of their protest, while the officials in charge of the grounds smiled encouragingly at the display of pasteboard. You can't go to Niagara without being informed that John Smith and Matilda Jones wcro at the edge of tho Horseshoe on Thursday of last week; nor can you inspect the domo of the capitol at Washington without seeing all around penciled records of distin guished.climbers who have preceded ye?. Wo do not believo anybody has yet defaced the Grand Canyon of the Colorado, ?because it is somewhat dif ficult to write names there so that they can be seen by those who como after, and no one who is enough of a vandal to deface nature would per p?trate the defacement unless ho was sure that somebody else would witness and imitate it. Trees and rocks can't bo easily protected against such outrages, but public buildings can and ought to be through the summary punishment of offenders.-Brooklyn Eagle. No Time. The woes of the suburbanite whe does business in the crowded cit? and resides in- the outskirts have furnished tho. theme for many an anecdote. One of these suburban dwellers was rushing along/ tho street in the direction of tho railway statior. when a friend joined him. "What is . your hurry, Jacobs ?" I asked the friend. "I am trying to catch the 5:40 train," replied Jacobs, "and I don't know whether there is any 5:40 train now or not. There has been a change." "Haven't you a time table in your pocket?" "Yes; but if I stop to look, at it and that train is still on I'll miss it by ten seconds I" And he glanced at his watch and hurried on. Youth's Companion. . Hie Crop of Lego.. A man in a certain New England town was noted for telling extrava gant stories. One evening while loitering in the country store tho Conversation turned upon feats in gunning. Tho man listened atten tively and in silence ? for :? awhile; then suddenly he exclaimed excited ly: "Waal, boys, I can tell yon a queer thing that happened to me tho other day. I went to Bye Beach shooting when I see a mee, large flock of yellow legs. .'Aha,' says I to myself, 'now for a shot at them.' So I crept np near by, rahed my gun to , my shoulder and fired. But I aimed jest a hit too low and they riz up and flew off. AB I walked along the ,beach I found two bushels of their yellow legs that I had shot off."-Iiippincott's. The Baby'a Name. A clergyman in baptizing a baby paused in, tho midst of the. service to inquire the name of the infant;, to whick the. mother, with, a pro found courtesy, replied: "Shady, sir, if you please." "Shady !" replied the mtinister. "Then it's a boy and you mean Shadrach, eh?" "No,, please your reverence, it's a girl." "And pray," asked tho pastor, "how happened you to call tho child, by such a strange name ?" ?: "Why, sir," responded tho woman, "if you must know; our name, is Bower, and my husband said as how he should like her to bo called Shady, because Shady Bower sounds so pretty !"-yL?ndon Answers.

NATURAL HUNGER A 6??DC. But tho Number of Meals Per bay j Depends Upon tho Individual. Discussing the question of diet, j thc amount and kind and the num- j ber of meals per day, the depart- | ment of agriculture advances these propositions : A certain amount of food is nec essary for the maintenance of tho body. This food requirement differs with different conditions of age, sex, health, muscular activity, environ ment, etc. Hygienic economy requires not only that thc food shall meet the physiological demands In respect to quantities of nutriment and energy, but also that it shall be fitted to thu digestive powers and other physio logical peculiarities of tho users. This is of special importance for?in .valids and young children. The comfort and welfare of tbo users are promoted by making the food palatable and attractive., Tho expert refrains from dogma tizing as to whether the requisite amount of food shall be split up?inte bulky meals or in tteseo or four smaller meals. Thc important con sideration is that each individual shall take about the right amount and kind of nourishment per -day to maintain him in the most perfect state of health and efficiency, lcav J ing the question as to tho number ; of meals to the discretion, idiosyh ! crasies, feeding capacity and experi j ence of the individual himself, j In-respect to the number of nicals ; per day, a man living on ? natural 1 foods is not likely to go far astray i by following nature'6 dictates to eat when hungry. "False" hunger is j not likely to attack a man who lives ; simply and naturally upon unstimu j lating foods and drinks. I The one thing many men when . giving advice fail to remember is that the amount and kind of food ! requisite to keep tho fires of vigo\ I ous youth burning brightly would, j if indulged in by liim, serve to I quench the feebler flames of tho . man of -waning years. But tho con ' verse equally holds good and cpn : demns the old man as unreasonable i who would bind his boy by tho same ! rules and habits that ho finds mont ! suitable for himself. - New Ye ri : j Mail and Express. Diagnosed From a Picture. ! Robert Henri, the painter, once i told a story about a Philadelphia 1 physician, Dr. W. W. Keen. I An artist was escorting Dr. Keen ! through an exhibition of pictures. I Before the portrait of a man of j ; middle age the physician stopped. 'Do you know this man?" he . asked. "I believe,", the artist answered, ? "that it is a Mr?. So-and-so." ? "Is ho dead?" 1 "Yes; he has been dead for some I months." "Well," said Dr. Keen, "I would wager that he died from heart dis ease." The artist, Btruck by a skill that could find material for diagnosis in a .picture, inquired into tho death of the por trait's; original .rad found that the man had indeed died of heart disease the winter before. -- Most people stay poor not beoauso they don't make enough but because they spend too much. - Onoe a man was eleoted to pub lic office and stayed straight, but he died before he took the oath. ~- There is some hppe for a man as long a* bo knows how to take a hint. to woman is a term ot ?..ach anxiety,serious thought and sweet anticipation.
