Beyond a doubt the property had i
been a marvelous bargain. The land j
alone was worth more than the price
fnv tho hnnso and lot together,
with carpets and fixtures thrown in.
The former owner had had greater
business interests in another part of
the world, and having found himself
unable to live in two places at once,
had wisely concluded to convert the j
superfluous house into cash. Mr. Danvers
-had bought it for a ridiculouslv
small rum. and felt that he ought to be
congratulated.
But although good Mr. Danvers was
jubilant over the purchase. Mrs. Danvers.
on her first inspection of the
new house, sat down upon the thrownin
carpet and burst into tears.
The moment she beheld the parlor
wail paper she forgot all else and gave
herself up to grief.
It was really enough to make one
oblivious of other things. Mrs. Dan
woman, who loved pink-and-while
rooms. The late occupant of the house
had been a big red-and-yellow man,
who liked redand-yellow rcoms, and
his taste in wall paper was certainly
deplorable. There was only one thing
in the house worse than the paper, and
that was the carpet.
"What, dc?n't you like the paper!"
exclaimed astonished Mr. Dan vers,
who was not artistic. "Why, that's
splendid paper! It must have cost $3
a roll. Pattern's a trifle large, perhaps;
but just think how it'll wear!
It will last a lifetime!"
But, strange to say, this consoling
information only made Mrs. Danvers
weep the more.
"There's great stuff in that carpet,
fno " sai.} ]\Tr Danvers. eyeing it ap
provingly. "It'll wear like iron, in spite
of the children running over it. Those
big magenta roses stand out well,
don't they?"
Mrs. Danvers shuddered. The carpet
was a calamity.
Reasonable as the price had been
it had taken all Mr. Danvers could
spare to ma"ke the purchase, so there
was no money to be foolishly wasted
in replacing the perfectly good paper
and carpet. Poor Mrs. Danvers, covering
as much of the ugliness as she
could with her pictures and. furniture,
wisely made the best of it, but all her
day dreams for the next ten years centered
about the repapering of the iis
figured parlor.
Her daughter Margery understood
and sympathized with her mother, and
together they would deplore the durability
of the obnoxious paper and carpet.
"It would be such a pretty room,"
Mrs. Danvers would mourn, "if only
something would happen to that outrageous
carpet and that horrible paper!"
"Wouldn't it be glorious," Margery
would say, "if our chimney should get
struck by lightning as the Browns'
rMU? Tho nanor wa? torn off the din
ing room wall, and soot from the chimney
ruined the rugs. The Browns seem
to have all the good luck."
The Browns selfishly retained- their
monopoly of the lightning, and the
hated paper continued to bear a
charmed life. No warning voice was
ever raised when the little Danverses
approached the parlor wall with sticky
fingers; and although Mrs. Danvers
and Margery fairly courted disaster,
none ever came.
At last, when Margery was 17, both
paper and carpet showed unmistakable
signs of wear. *
"Do anything you like about it. It's
your house," said Mr. Danvers, generously,
when Mrs. Danvers pointed out
the defects. "Yes, get anything you
like; all paper looks alike to me. Hardwood
floors? Ye-es, I don't mind. Still
I am a little disappointed in that
carpet. I thought it would last forever."
"So did I," said Mrs. Danvers; but
if she felt any disappointment it was
well concealed.
Then came deligthful weeks. The
house was ail torn up and turned over
to the carpenters and paper-hangers.
Mrs. Danvers and Margery spent ail
their days and part of their nights
studying samples of wall paper. Mr.
Danvers spent all his in trying to
dodge- the pails cf paste and varnish
that lurked in every corner.
At last, however, it was all fiuishel.
to the complete satisfaction of Mrs
Danvers and Margery, who ceased to
covet the Browns' share of devastating
lightning. Indeed, the renovated parlor
became tne object of Mrs. Danvers'
tenderest soncuuJe, and the little ^anverses
began to see imaginary "Keep
off the grass" signs on every side. And
then, when it was no longer wanted,
the disaster came.
Just a week after the departure t;f
the last workman Mrs. Danvers went
with her husband to a concert, leaving
the house and sleeping children in
Margery's care.
Margery spent the first hour in the
kitchen, making peanut taffy. When
at last she returned to the front of
the house she was greeted by an odd
pungent order.
"I wonder, ' said she, "if I could
have scorched my candy? No; the
smell seems to come from the front
hall. Perhaps something is burning
upstairs."
Sne stopped appalled when she had
reached the top step. Something certainly
was burning. The upper hall
was luu or iniCK. gray smoKe.
?nc children!" gasped Margery,
uarting through the smoke and into
the nursery.
Here the smoke was dense, and
through it, at the far end of the room,
wnere a closet door was standing open.
Margery could see a dull red glow.
"Quick! Quick!" she sobbed, dragging
the heavy, half-stupefied children
out of their beds, out of the suffocating I
room, through the hall and down the j
stairs. "Oh. do hurry! The house is
all on fire!"
"There!" said she, snatching a vase
of flowers from a table in the lower
hall, and dashing flowers, water and !
all into the faces of the poor, aston- j
ished children, thereby producing two !
indignant howls.
"There, your lungs are all right if j
you can cry like that! Now go sit on j
the carriage block, and don't you dare I
to come into this house again until j
I call you, and don't you tell a soul j
that this hwse is afire. I'm going to
put it out myself.
"Oh, I must?I must do it!" cried
Margery, seizing the two heavy pails
of water which Mrs. Dan vers kept
ready in her little convcrsatory for the
purpose of watering her plants. "The
fire is all in that one room. If 1 let
the firemen in they'll ruin the new
floors with their muddy boots, and
they'll flood the whole house with
water. Oh, I can't let them spoil that
lovely pale-green paper and those lovely
floors!"
So. never thinking that her mother
would rather lose a thousand beautiful
parlors than one little loving
daughter, Margery rushed into the
dense 'smoke and burled the contents
^V.P ?<ninrVif of t Vl CPP T*1 f* f
ui ii*ci iJdiio on ai5in c*t. tuv
glow.
The smoke slung her throat and almost
blinded her, but she groped her
way from the room, felt her way
across the hall, ran down the stairs,
and refilled her pails at the kitchen
sink. The bath room was nearer, but
Margery remembered that the faucets
tnere were small, and knew she would
save time by going to the kitchen.
She drank a little cold water, filled
her lungs with fresh air at the open
door and tucked up her skirts. Then
un she went with her heavy burden,
not spilling a drop on the precious
floors. After the third journey Margery
noticed that the scarlet spot had
uiminished in size, although the smoke
was quite as dense.
"'I must be careful not to put on a
scrap more water than I need," said
this model fireman, as she toiled up
ward with her heavy pails. "I mustn't
spoil the dining room ceiling. I believe
the fire is in the pillows and bedding
stored in that closet. I'll open
the window and throw them all out, if
I can."
t
And she did, but it was not a pleasant
task. The smoldering quilts
Lurst into flames as she pulled thcro
apart, and the sparks burned ner
wrists and hands. But with the window
open it was possible to breathe,
and when the reking pillows had been
added to the blazing heap on the lawn
below, the atmosphere was decidedly
improved, although still by no means
clear.
As they discovered afterwards, tha
fire started from a few oiled rags used
in polishing the hardwood floors, and
tucked into the closet by a careless
maid. It had burned almost through
Uocp.hnsrrl and would in a few
moments have eaten its way into the
partitions, where it would have been
beyond control.
Margery had undoubtedly saved the
day and a great many dollars although
she had, without realizing it, risked
something far more precious.
She had bathe d her face and hands,
had opened all the windows to let out
the disagreeable odor of burned feathers,
ana was going down-stairs, well
satisfied with her evening's work,
when her father and mother appeared
at the front door. Perched on the
newel post in the front hall, she told
them all about the catastrophe.
"Where are the children?" was Mrs.
Danvers's first question.
"Goodness!" said Margery. "They
must be outdoors on the steppingstone
yet. I told them to stay there
until I called them, and I never gave
them a second thought!"
And there Mrs. Danvers found them,
sound asleep in their little white nightdresses.
but none the worse for their
unusual experience, for the night was
warm.
Mr. Dan vers opened his mouth and
closed it several times before he managed
to find words to fit the occasion.
When he finally succeeded all he said
was:
Margery, you smell just like a little
dried herring."
But there was something besides
smoke in his eyes, and Margery knew
she was being thanked.?Youths' Companion.

Kitchen Outfits of Sovereigns.
There is. figuratively speaking, a
great scouring of pots and pans in the
kitchen of the palare at St. Petersburg,
in preparation for the festivities incidental
to the christening of the latest
addition to the family of the Czar.
The imperial kitchen is fitted up with
great sumptuousness. The walls and
ceiling are of black marble, rich-v
decorated. The state cooking utensils
are of solid gold. They date back to
the time of the Empress Catherine, and
are estimated to be worth $50,000. Several
of the small saucepans are valued
at $300. No fewer than 267 cooks and
scullions are employed. The chef's
salary is $40,000 a year; 10 other cooks
receive from $5000 to $6000 annually.
After the Czar's the most luxurious
court in Europe is that of Spain. The
"battrie de cuisine." which is very
ancient, is valued at no less than
$60,000.
But all this sinks into insignificance
in comparison with the kitchen of the
Shah of Persia, at Teheran. There the
very caldrons are of gold, and ihe
oicVioo nn which iiip viands are borne
to the royal table are of gold, set with
precious stones. The outfit of the
kitchen is said to be worth $4,000,000.

SOME ECCENTRIC RAILWAYS.
Remarkable Engineering Feats on
Roads in Russia and Peru.
As tho iron track is bound to force
Its way into most corners of the world
i it is not surprising that some lines of
railways exist which are striking evidence
of a singularly bold conception
! carried out in the face of obstacles
! which seemed almost insurmountable,
j Sometimes the route of a future line
| lies across a desert; then the great
law of tho "compensation of nature"
i seems to make itself felt for to balance
the saving of time and money
j due to the fact that long tunnels will
not have to be cut through the hills
j or mountains the engineers are coni
fronted by the total absence of three
i essential elements of construction.
1 namely, wood, iron and water, which
: have to be transported alone; a newly
; laid line as it stretches its slow length
j across the desert. Russia's Trans|
Caspian railway, now known as the
; Central Asian Railway, was built
: under these conditions. Thousands
of logs of timber*were needed, and
the region traversed cinnot boast of
; a single tree for more than 70) m:les.
1 This timber was required for building
! the long bridge, two miles in length,
! over the river Amu-Darva.
j This bridge was always the weak
I point in that highly important rail;
way. and it has been replaced recently
' by a stone bridge. Between Merv
; and Charjui the line had to be car.
ried over shifting sands sixty-four
feet deep. * When the work is being
; carried out in such regions the trains
I become a little town on wheels.
! They are composed cf two-stor>
wagons, which contain sleeping ac1
commodation, butchers' stalls, can|
teens and forges. As -the Trans-Si;
berian railway grew in length it was
l resolved by the authorities that the
workmen should have their own
I "church car." A wagon was fitted up
accordingly as a church.with a little
! peal of bells in the alcove above the
! entrance.
.
The romance of mountain railways
by no means ends with their construci
tion, and traveling upon railways at a
: very high altitude is not a thing 10
be desired. The Peruvian line runj
nlng from Callao to Oroya has a two;
fold claim to distinction; it is built
j at probably the greatest altitude of
: any existing railway, namely, 15.S0G
: feet above sea level, and it affords
j travelers certainly the most unpleasant
"experience ae voyage" that can
be imagined. As the result of travel|
ing at such an altitude, the passen!
gers begin by feeling the great opI
pression, accompanied by pains in
I the head and limbs; these are quickj
ly followed by bleeding from the nose
! and mouth, and then by momentary
) blindness. It is gratifying to know
[ that there is a certain variety in the
j effects produced upon pas5;cngers at
this point. Thus, while some persons
are seized with giddiness, others en
tertain strange hallucinations, and
others faint away; the last class become
so weak that any undue exertion
on their part often proves fatal. But
this is not all that one has to under'
go on the Callao and Oroya line. In
| due course the skin becomes irritable
i and sores break out, while the lips
I swell and then crack.

The Return of the Fofa.
The sofa of our grand-parents is returning?high-backed,
long and broad.
Nowadays it is fitted out with such
springs as our grandparents knew not,
and it is upholstered in soft and luxurious
ways that would make it unrecognizable,
to then. But it is the old
sofa, not a divan. It is much more
expensive than the narrow cot which
is the foundation of all Turkish and
Oriental resting places as they are
known in the Mt'nited States. Moreover,
how it can be used for a bed by
night is not yet clear. This useful
convertability is one of the chief recommendations
of the divan. Consequently
the sofa can never quite take
the place of that in "light" housekeeping.
But for these fortunate beings
wVm liavp more than one room and who
are not driven to subterfuges it is
charming.
The Care of Toilet Articles.
In these days of luxurious toilet fittings
one is often surprised to see the
carelessness with which they are treated.
Brushes, in particular, suffer from
lack of care, although so many are
needed for various purposes.
Hairbrushes, toothbrushes, nail and
hat brushes are so generally mounted
in silver or silver and ebony that they
require a good deal of attention, as
tarnished mountings are as bad as
shabby finery.
Silver backs of brushes, if rubbed
daily with a chamois leather, will seldom
need a regular cleaning.
Occasionally moisten a little whiting
with alcohol and brush the silver with
this. Brush out again and polish with
a soft chamois.
The backs and handles of ebony
brushes should be rubbed over with a
little boiled linseed oil after washing,
and then rueDea wun a son ouster i
till every vestige of oil is removed, j
Special care is needed in cleaning silver
initials on these, and only very
slightly moistened whiting should be
used or it is apt to leave a white mark
on the wood, which is extremely difficult
to remove.
In brushing the whiting off after
cleaning be careful not to scratch the
ebony, for once scratched it is spoiled.
Ordinary wooden back brushes can j
be treated with linseed oil in 'the same
way as ebony.
Tooth and nail brushes should always
stand in such a position that all
water can drain from them.?New

People's Christian Temperance Union,
Fruitvale, Bal., Cured of Congestion and
Inflammation of the Ovaries by Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
" Dear Mrs. Pinkham : ?Eighteen months ago I was a pretty
sick woman. I had felt for some months that I gradually grew
weaker, but finally I had such severe pains I could hardly stand it.
I had taken cold during menstruation and this developed into congestion
of the ovaries and inflammation, and I could not bear to walk or
stand on my feet. The doctor recommended an operation which I
would not hear of. One of my friends advised me to try L<ydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, so I gave it a trial. Can
you imagine my feeling when within two months I felt considerably
better, my general health was improved, and my pains had entirely
disappeared. I kept taking it six weeks more and am now enjoying
the best of health, thanks to you. Yours truly, Mrs. Sophie Binns."
