How She Entertained T DWAKD LESLIE kissed his ?f wife I'oiully wlien she ran to \ | the door to welcome him home | from business, but when he i reached their cozy kitchen he dropped j wearily into the easy chair by the lire and rested his head upon his hand. He : was tired after a Ions day's work, with nothing but a couple of buns to stay the inner man?tired and worried. They ! had been married now nearly twelve months, and they found housekeeping more expensive than they had nnticij paled, and the better times they had hoped for seemed as far off as ever. It was nearly the end of the mouth, too, and the rent would soon be due. The coal, also, had yet to be paid for. and then there was the interest 011 some "tickets" which must be paid, or his little wife would lose the little jewelry she treasured so; but which she gave up so willingly to help the man she loved in the hard struggle to get their little home together. "Dinner is nearly ready, dearest," she said as she stroked his hair back from his forehead. "And you are hungry and tired, dear, and worried." Presently the postman's sharp rap caused him to spring up and run to the door. He came back more slowly. "It's from Uncle Mac," he said. fWell, I am surprised. lie arrived in av/1 o r* on/1 JUrf 11 ? ? Act JLivl uiviutui,, vu, good heavens! we must put him off. I We can't do it." Mrs. Leslie took the letter. "My Dear Godson Ted?I have come back to England after fifteen years in Australia. As things are not too Ay<dl with me, I propose to come and stay a few months with you. I suppose since you are married fortune is smiling upon you. and they say three can be kept as cheaply as one. Expect me tonight about 0. All news then. Your affectionate uncle, MAC." "Why, I always thought your Uncle Mac was doing so well, Ted," she said, slowly, as she finished. "So did I," said her husband. "But, ! then, everyone abroad is always doing well. I must write at once and put . him off." "Xo. Ted, dear," his little wife said, . bravely. "Because you are married I . don't want him to think we are quite . so poor. We will manage somehow." But she sighed a little as she thought ] how quickly, even now, the weekly pay dwindled to a shilling or two before Friday night. Barely an hour later Uncle Mac an- ] nounced his arrival with a performance on the little brass knocker which start- led several of Mr. Leslie's quiet neigh- , bors. ] "Glad to see you, me boy.

"Glad to make your ( acquaintance, Mrs. Ted," he said, walk- , ing Into Nellie's dainty little drawing- . room?the pride of her life?bringing j with him sufficient of the much-sized , mortar on his boots to build a small- ] sized villa. "Come over to the light i and let me look at you." < "Nice face, but tired." he said, quite ^ audibly, although intended only for himself. "Smart girl, but no strength j or backbone. Novel and the sofa and j pretty fal-dal-lals. Wonder why he c married her?" I "Because he loved me and I loved him," said Nellie, proudly. , "I beg your pardon." said Uncle Mac. t hurriedly. "Silly habit, speaking your . thoughts aloud. Learnt it in the lonely bush. No offense. Hope you're j happy and your love will last, but they ^ do say when poverty conies in at the ] what's-its-name love skoots out of the j thingummy." "That's wrong, my dear, isn't it?" ; said Edward, slipping his arm round her waist. "Poverty only make our j love the brighter. But come, Uncle Mac, my little girl has some real old ^ Irish stew for supper, and I'm sure you're hungry." j "You're right, Ted. my boy," cried \ Uncle Mac. "I'm absolutely ravenous." I "You won't mind the kitchen, will you, Mr. ?er ?" Nellie began. "Mac, my dear, plain Mac; that is, c of course. Uncle Mac, to you," he replied. "Personally I prefer the s kitchen." L During supper lie kept them all - merry with stories of his life in Aus- t tralia. but Nellie's eyes noted with ap- c prehension that his appetite was likely to be a serious strain on her limited 0 la rder. ?L "Good tack, this," he said presently, y with appreciation. "Knocks billy and damper hollow. But you're not eating i much!" " j, "Oh, I've plenty, thank you," she ? stammered, but Uncle Mac silently n noted that tlie meat had been served s to Ted and himself, while her plate 0 made a brave show with little else than s potato. t #?* *** j. Nearly a week passed and one day t Nellie was just wondering whether she li would have an egg or her lunch now, i: or wait till 5, when a ring came to the a door, and she ran up to find?Uncle a Mac! j "Bit surprised to see me so soon, ah, my dear?" lie says cheerfully, "but the t fact is. I've 11111 out of cash, so I thought I would drop down earlier and s have a bit of lunch with you." I "Have lunch with me!" cried Nellie li n a horror-stricken voice. "I'm afraid s I have nothing in the house. Uncle >' Mac." "Oh. anything will do." he replied, n carelessly, "and if you have nothing in a Lhe place, give me two bob, and I'll run li TO, ANYWAY."

"Silly hoy! Silly boy! And yet he doesn't know it," replied Uncle Mac ruefully. "For when I called at his office to borrow five shillings off him lie said he had left all his money at home. But there." he added cheerfully. "I have a sovereign, and wo must spend that. My lucky sov. must go." "Your lucky sovereign?" queried Nellie. "Well, I call it my lucky sovereign," said Uncle Mac, "because it was the first sovereign I ever earned, and it happened to have the date on of the very year I started to work as a boy of fourteen. I've kept it all these years." "Oh, you mustn't spend that," cried Nellie. "To-night Ted will be paid and we shall be all right again. Come down stairs and have some more bacon." Uncle Mac said he had never enjoyed any meal so much as lie did that bacon, and after he had finished he proposed that they should go for a walk together. "As we can't afford a tram ride," he said, laughingly, "we will just walk round and think we are millionaires. Nothing like building castles in the air. my dear, when you are down ill the dumps. If you can't actually enjoy the things wealth would bring you can look round the shops and see all the pretty things, and then by a little imagination just consider they are your own. Now, as money's no object, where shall we say we live?" "Oh, at Highgate," cried Nellie. "Why Highgate?" asked Uncle Mac seriously. "Because there's such a lovely house fA 1u\ T f cton/lc in l'fo r?rrn lU\.4t IV ^'C I v li XI kSlUUUO 111 JIO V?? 11 ground, and I've often looked at it, long before we were married even. I think I told you about it one day." Finding the gate of the house open they ventured to look over it. Nellie waxed quite enthusiastic, and as they went from room to room she furnshed them sumptuously in her imagination. The drawing room would be in gold and white with, Louis XIV. style furniture. "Never heard of him," said Uncle Mac, with conviction. "You must show me some of that on the way home." Nellie replied with a laugh that she would show him tlie very thing she meant in Dormans & -Brown's Emporium, and on the way back she pointed 3Ut many things she would like and have, "if only they had plenty of money." When they got back Ted was waiting for his dinner, and while tin? chops were grilling Nellie told him the adventures of the day. During dinner LTncle Mac, amid many bursts of laughter, described the wonderful home in which Nellie would ,in imagination, live. Uncle Mac started off early next morning to get work, or, as he said, 'die in the attempt." Toward the end :if the second week Uncle Mac obtained a "job." "Of course, it isn't exictly the thing I wanted," he explained, "but then, beggars can't be ?hoosers. I'm to get. thirty-five sailings a week, so I thought, Nellie, I ?ould pay you a pound every Wednesday toward Ihe housekeeping expenses." Matters were so arranged, and Nellie began to feel Quite rich. It was surprising how much help that extra sovereign was, and Nellie's nightmare of he end of the week began to vanish. Uncle Mac continued to come down it 5, and Nellie and he still amused hemselves by "building castles in the xir" and with looking in the shops. At last, when everything seemed so ( /?omA /I Ann nlrrlit lal'lA> ?

"What is It, Ted?" she asked anxously. "I've got the sack, Nell!" he said, vith a sob. For some moments they stood in sience, then lie sank on a chair and juried his face ia his hands. "Well, my little love birds," cried LTicle Mac, entering from the garden. 'Why, what's the matter?" In a few broken words Nell told him if this last and greatest trouble. 1 "Well, well," said Uncle Mac, when < ;he had ended, "keep a brave heart, s ny dear, and things may be all well et. I think Ted and I will take a lit- ' le walk up the street and talk matters ] iver." 1 When they came back she was lying 1 >n the bed. where she had been crying * utterly, but she tried to meet them < vith n smile. * After dinner Uncle Mac produced a >ottle of Australian wine from bis bag, m-d' they each bad a glass, but It f eemed to make her tired and heavy, nd she felt as though she must go to leep. Presently her head nodded, and s she lost consciousness she thought he hear Uncle Mac say: "Carry her 0 something." Presently, in her sleep he had a beautiful dream. She bought that she woke up and found icrself in the house at Higligate, furlished just as she always pictured it, nd Uncle Mac and Ted were there, nd they were talking and laughing oyfully. "Isn't it a lovely dream?" she said, urning to Uncle Mac. "It is not a dream, my dear," he said, oftly. "I am not poor, as you think, am very rich. I have bought you this louse and furnished it as you decribed. and we brought you here in our sleep. We shall all live here now -that is, if you will tolerate your old ncle?and to-morrow Ted will come p with me as manager to my business f 1 the city " t "Is it true, then, Undo Mac?" she | cried. "It is all true, little woman, and you must forgive an old man's deceit, but I wanted to see the metal my boy's wife was made of, and?and that riches would not turn her head. But I know now, my dear, that as wealth has come in at the thingummy, love will not fly out of the what's-its-name."?New York News. J. P. MORGAN PERMITS. They Are All the Itacre in London at l*res? cut?A Few Samples. They take J. Pierpont Morgan very seriously in London, and they also get a good deal of fun out of his supposed ownership of the earth. The street venders arc selling little printed cards bearing legends that indicate the prevalent idea that he is the supreme ruler of the world. These cards Cud eager purchasers. For instance, when the head of the family is detained in the city to an unusual hour, he presents to /\*\ A -x f 4- L ao/> /101 /! c U1S 1 mutuant spuur-i: uin: <jl UICSC uuw, bearing the words: * * i i Term it bearer to bo late to | j dinner on alternate Wcrln.es- j j days in August.

P. MORGAN. j ! I Purity of the German Lanjruace. In spite of official efforts to maintain the purity of the German language the English words are creeping in. Says an English journal referring to a recent article! in Die Nation: "The English importations are of thvee classes. First there are the : words that are both written and pronounced as in England, such as 'interview." clown, and 'bicycle' ? though j for this last the German often uses the equivalent Talirrad.' Secondly . there are the words that are written as in English, but pronounced in German fashion, mob as 'shawl,' 'tramway' aud 'beefsteak'?which latter becomes 'befsteck.' With these the German writer classes the mysterious ' words 'koaks' and 'slilips,' which he explains to mean respectively the English 'cokes'?that is, coke?and 'necktie,' though it is by no raeans easy to understand how Germans learned from us to call a necktie a 'shlips.' Thirdly come the loan-words that are written and pronounced in the German way?such as 'streik,' or, in Austria, 'strick,' for a strike, and ! , 'ion for lorry. Most or tne words or ^ (he first class relate to sport and food. As the Nation remarks, English tends j to become the international code of , sport, as Italian is of music, and jockey, handicap, match, goal, racket and even ping-pong are terms as well known and commonly used in Germany as in England. The English names of dishes are used far less ac- ' curately. 1 1 Mmic in SickneFB. 1 A correspondence has been proceed- t ing in a contemporary on the interest- i ing subject of music as a therapeutic < agent. It is claimed, as if. was afore- 1 time, that music hath charms?charms 1 other than those "which enthusiastic c people seek even during midsummer t heat in concert-hall and drawing room. < One of the correspondents declares 1 that a beautiful air, even when played <' on a barrel organ, will.frequently suf- ( (ice to mitigate or charm away pain. 1 Then there nre cases quoted of rabid 1 fever cured by use of a violin, and Sir * Andrew Clatk and Sir Richard Quain 1 are mentioned as supporters of the 5 Guild of St. Cecilia. All this may help 1 to persuade the professional uubeliev- ' er that there is possibly "something in it," but we do uot ourselves quite see what examples are needed to prove a that distracted nerves and feverish s 9 blood must inevitably by soothed by ^ gentle strains of music. It is a fact self-evident. If music can charm away t worry and anxiety in the case of healthy people, how much more should it soothe the sufferer on a bed of sick- j ness. If this fact were more generally i believed, we have no doubt that many i sick-bed would be rendered less in- f v>Wnbin to the sick nerson.?London jlobe. t \ Head-Dre*s of the Fijian*. I The Fijians are a stalwart race; very :all ami muscular, for the most part, ] heir skins soft a* velvet from anointng with cocoa mi t oil, their count e- t lances strong and in most eases pleas- t hg. rather than forbidding.

The forner state is but a preliminary to tlie second. The natives plaster their hair vith a kind of paste made of powdered oral mixed with water, which, after laruening and then broken up, stiffens he hair and bleaches it from its untiral black to odd shades of red and lull yellow?thus producing strange efects in combination with the dark irown skins of the people. _ JOSEPHINE IN MARTINIQUE. An Account of the Great Hurricane of 1766. Although Martinique is an earthly paradise in its outward aspect, It has always been subjected to the wildest convulsions of nature. The first white Invaders were told by the native Caribs of the fierce wind storms which swept the island at unexpected times and the French planters soon learned that a case-a-vent, or hurricane house, was an indispensable adjunct of every plantation. These were not unlike the "cyclone cellars" of the Western plains, though they were usually built into or under the side of a hill, with walls of stone several feet in thickness. The door was of thick plank, there were no windows, and the air within, if the storm was of long duration, became most oppressive. The great hurricane which destroyed the property of the father of the future Empress of the French occurrfrl nn tVio 13tV? r\f Aiiciicf cnmo VA-V AWHi VI x I VV, UVliiV seven weeks after Josephine's third birthday. Young as she was at the time it made an indelible impression on her mind, and after she was Empress she used to thrill her ladies-inwaiting by vivid descriptions of that day of terrors. She had been snatched from her morning bath by her father, who had only time to wrap her in a large both towel, and the full fury of the storm burst upon them as M. Ta scher and his baby daughter passed through the door of the case-a-vent, where Madame Tascher and the terrified household slaves had already sought refuge. Scarcely had the massive door been closed and bolted than the hurricane was upon them in all its fury. The tall palms writhed and bent beneath its blows; mango and calabush, orange and guave trees were quickly stripped of their limbs or forcibly uprooted; roof-tiles from the mansion, boards from the negro quartern and branchos torn from trees were hurled through the air. The door of the casea-vent groaned on its huge hinges, and strained at the iron bars stretched across it. The air within the cave became hot to suffocation; moans and cries from the terrified negroes; but little Josephine uttered not a word. Close clasping her arms around her father's neck, and clinging also to her mother's hand, she lay quiet and calm. The hours passed slowly; but finally the door ceased to ,train at its fastenings, and M. Tascber commanded the huge negro who had charge of it to onen it a little way. Carefully and slowly the bolts were drawn and daylight admitted. All was quiet without. The darkness that had accompanied the storm, caused by the dence clouds and sheets of rain, had been dispelled by the sun. which was now shining brightly. The wind had died away to a moan; exhausted nature lay prostrate, torn and bleeding. Hardly a tree was left standing; huge celbas, cedars and sapote trees had been up rooted and cast to the ground. But the most mournful spectacle was the palm avenue, for In place of the columnar trunks, with their waving plumes, was a ragged row of shattered stumps. The huts of the negroes, which had been grouped about the sugar mill, were entirely destroyed, and scon a hundred despairing beings were groping in their ruins. But the crowr/rfg desolation of all was the total destruction of the Tascher mansion. Only the great; sugar house remain- | ed standing of all the buildings pertaining to the estate. To this struc- j ture the new homeless family direct- i ed their steps. Its walls were of stone some two feet in thickness, it3 rafters heavy and covered with earthen tiles, the doorways were broad, with granite lintels. Above the ground Poor, where the machinery was placed, were two large chambers. The beams supporting the floor were sound and strong, and the floor itself intact, and there the family took up their abode. M. Tascher de La Pagerie never rebuilt the great house, and thus fate, or fortune, willed that Josephine should know no other place of residence wane shd lived in Trois-Dets, unless visiting at the house of a friend, or at school. But she was to live to know still stranger places of abode; the grim Carmelits prison, the stately palace of the Tulleries and cheerful Malmaison, in whose gardens she cherish, ad the plants of her native isle.

A new fashion in a modern city may mean the decimation or even extinction of an entire species of the lower animals. The craze for alligator skins during the past twelve years came very nearly making that hideous reptile as dead as the dodo. When a large animal brought two dollars in the open market every lazy darky down South who lived within ten miles of a pool or bayou was out after "gater" from dawn to dusky eve. They killed so many that the market was flooded after a time and then the price began to fall. It has gone down steadily, and the latest advices from the Louisiana bayous and the Florida swamps give fifty cents for the raw hide of a saurian of more than ten feet in length and only twenty-five for a chicken "gater." This hardly pays for their killing, and the supply is running down in consequence. The alligator has now a chance for his life, and in many districts is increasing in numbers perceptibly. On the other hand, the snake family is experiencing great hardship. a dealer in fine snake skins said: "There is a steady demand for the more beautiful kinds which we are never quite able to fill. Some varieties are so popular that they bring ridiculously high prices. The coral snake of South America, which, by the way, is not, as currently believed, a red creature, but a beautifully mottled scarlet, black, rose-pink, and brown one, has gone up from ten cents to a dollar for the raw skin in Brazil, and it is almost impossible to get it in this city. The few that are caught go to Paris and St. Petersburg, and now and then some are shipped to the Far East, where they enjoy even a larger popularity than in the Occident. "The most beautiful snake skin in American is the marsh diamond-back rattler of Central and Southern Florida. It is the king of American ophidia. Its colors are almost metallic in their lustre, and they are arranged so as to form about as brilliant a harmony as can be found. The skin tans easily, and when thoroughly prepared will last almost as well as a third-class leather."?New York Post. The Naughty Nations. Mr. Crosland. who has succeeded in creating a sort .f interest in his book "The Unspeakable Scot," has quite a wide field awaiting him.
