"She will bo a scholar, sir, if I hv

"You are quite right.," said Mr, Crof

Mrs. Polham shys, if I work the ma

many a little laxury, and go far towards

"You are a noble girl," said 'Mr.
Urofton wcrnmly, andl in his eye, at thai
mcmennt, Mary Monteagle wvas glorifiec
with rare beauty, as shlo stood there,
the fresha wind blowing her jetty curh
about, the reilection of the orange sun,
set deepening tihe color on her cheek,
and the grave, far-away sparkle of heci
ieyei half-veiled benieathi the long
ash~es, "and if I could be of any a.
sistan~c&e to you in this task---'
"'You can,', said the girl abruptly.
'"You can stay here and amuso papa
so that lhe aball not suspect 'what occu
plies miy tlie."
r '"You can div'ert his attentioii from
Sanscr'ipt and Arabic, andt all thlese
miyster'ies"
And, for the first time in his expe.
rienace of her, Mary Montonglo laughed
-a mellow, bird-like laugh.
"I. will," said Mr. Crofton heartily.
An o the compact was sealed be
wenthem.
Insutead of thbe wveek lie had proimisedl
his father to spend with Colonel Mon.
,teagle his stay wa~s extended to three.
aAt tihe end of that period lie gravel)
hi addressed himself to the dark-eyed
daughter of thle house.
''how is the trade?" said he.
"'I am to have a machine next week,'
said Mary, with the conscious pride oi
one wholt has conquered fate; ''and then
only think of it; Mr. Orofton, I sh.il
earn five shillings a day!'
"Mary," said Mr. Crofton seriously,
'"1 ha~ve been thinking of another plat
for you."
''You tell me that this farmer's wife
has made a first-class housekeeper oi
Syou?"
"I~ bake~d mince pies yesterdiay," said
r' (juilt within the week."
,4 "' don't like the ideca of your' going~
yV into a factoi-y," said'Mi-. Ciof ton,.
d "S~ujpoe, no0w, by way of variety
r', you were to mumry mae?"
Ii "But you ar'e not in love .with me I'
saidl Mary, opening heir bright, bhael
(1. eyes.
d ''"But I amn," said Mr. Crolton, witi
greait gravity. .
5 "I have deliberatcly made -up mn)
g mind that I cannot. be happy withonl
"And although T donm't pirofess to be
r, a rich maan, I believe I can make you a
week, while at the same time you will
not be compelled to work ten hours a
day for it.
-"That is the business-like view of the
question."
"Now to the more persoal one,
"Don't you think, Mary, that you
could love me?"
"Because I love you very much in
deed!"
"'I don't know," whispored Mary, "]
might try. '
And then she blushed charmingly.
So Colonel Monteagles daughter went
to her lover's home, and astonished
every one there w'th her thorough
knowledge of housekeeping in all its
details.
And the two o!d people with the bur
den of insolvency aud care lifted oil
their lives, dwelt quietly on in the an
bient tower-like house, and tialk to
everybody who crosses their path of
"the excellent marriago which my
daugliter Mary has contracted."
'A thorough scholar," satys Colonel
Monteagle, with dignity.
"A musician, a linguist, a thorough
liebrew student, and a proficient in
Latin and Grek."
"It is not singular that a girl of such
intellectual power should narry well."
But Colonel Monteagle, honest man,
never dreamed that it was the sowing
machine and the vehement struggle to
get free from debt which conquered Mr.
Crofton's heiart.
There are plenty of scholars and poet
esses in the world, but a real womanly
.woman, is nct her price far above ru
bies?
It w-eame necessary recently for Dr.
Townsend, the physietan in charge of the
Paterson, New Jersey, smallpiox hospital,
end his five assistants, to take oath to their
acconuts in order that the bills might be
presented to the neeting of the allermen.
It was thought imprudent to allow them
to go dowin through the city to the re
coider's office, an(d on the other hand Rte
corder Ureaves did not care to go to the
hospital to adiuister the oath. After
)oiderimg over the matter lie (ceided to
send Assistant City 1hysician hlurd to the
hospital with the bills as his proxy. The
doctor got the hospital physician and his
assistants to sign the allidavits on the end
of their bills, and then hunted ii) a Bible.
When all had put their hands on the
t.ok, Dr. 1Hurd went to the telepihone in
tihe hospital oflice and called up ''328,"
the number of the instrument in the re
corder's ofliee twenty miles away.
"[Have they all got their hands on the
book ?" asked the recorder.
'- es, all ready," replied Dr. IIu rd.
'Very well, then," said the iecorder;
1you, as my%, dcl)ity, repeat to ite depo
nents what I say : 'You and each of you
do solemnly swear-' "
"You and cacti of yoi do solemnly
swear, " repeated )r. Huri.
"That tle annexed accounts ire just,
trud and unpaid--," said the recorder
through the telephone.
''Thiat the ainiexed accounts are just,
true and umpaid," repeated the doctor.
"So hel) you God," said the Recorder
through tile telephone.
"So help you (lod,"Irepeated Dr. Hurd.
"Now kiss the book," said the tele
phone.
"Kiss the book." repeated the toetor.
The six hospital attaches kissed the bible
in turn.
"They've all kissed it," said the doctor
through tihe telephone.
"'[hey have ?'' answeredl the recordler
in suirprise. "'Why, 1 didnlr't hear it. Let
themi kiss it again torld enotigh for me t~o
hear It."
Tlhie kisses were rep~eatedl with. an energy
that sent the reports vitbratmlug over the
Wire vigorously enoughi to b~e rep~rodulcedl
on the metallhe disk at the receiving end.
"'I heard those. Tlhat,'s all right ; good
bye," said1 the recorder, hanging up his
ear pice'(.
A short tie afterwards Dr. urdl drove
upI to I he stti on house and laid the alibia
vits before the JeCordter, all properly slgn
ed and the Itecorder afllxedt his ownI signa
fiure. certifymng that they had aeen "'sworn
and sulbseibhed before him.''
Tlhese bis went in ithm the other
claims agatina, thle city, andt were tuly re
terredl to the Ihiance commlittee to be
anidIted.
A t.ist item11 of ihhurn in g oh I,
Mr. and1( Mrs Samiuel Schwab, well
known ini Kinigstoui, New York, had a
very narrow escape from hosina thelir lives
at thle lfe at the Standar-d Oil Works, at
G1rent)omt. Cilata) Schwab 's boat was
lyimg at thle (locks with a load of coal for
the works anmd waIs piartly unloaded, when,
at abouit 2 0 cloc0k SundA~ay af ternoon, a
terrible explosion win heard anid It wais
disc(ovee thaht one of the oil tanks was on
tire and there wais great danger of othlers
exploding, and the captsam,seeing the dan

oil scowv alonmgsideO of hhn, as thle scow was
10oaded with cans full of oil. But just as
lie was about pushmng oil another tank ex
ploded, seattcrig the oil in all directions.
All at once the fbunes andt oil caine roar

cauihht fire and( thie cans5 explodd.
Ini thme meanime, Captain Schwab and
wIfe were on their boat, nmot twenty feel
away. T1o escape to thie dock was un
possible, as the whole place was on fire,
and( the wind blowing in the opposite di
rect ion blew his hoat toward the flanmes.
T1o jumpll overbjoardl was imp~lossible,as the
whole creek was one hibrze of fire. A third
tank exp'lodedl, throwing timbers and iron
over t heir head s andt ini all dlireettons~ for a
quiarter- of a mile arouind. Their- own boat
was also burnin~g fast. Whenn the lire on
thme water seemied to lbe ext ingished, Mr'.
Schwah juimpedl overboird and lie called
to his wile to) jmpi also, which shec did.
They clung to the burning boat for' fIfteen
minutes. A man named Da'vid Sutton
plicked them uin i a small b'oat. Mr.
Schwab's handls were badly burnt, fils
wife's hands are burnit severely. Tlwo
fingers on one hand1( and one on the other
werh burnt to the hone, where she had
been holding on a piece of hot Iron where
the wood had already been burned off.

Capt. Al Foster is an aneient ilhei
man. His name is known to overy iit
and veteran in the gentio art along tI
coast, for lie it was that inaugurated co
fishing from steamboats, and first gav
the sometime fishei maln his first oppo
tunity to enjoy sea fishing in dee) watoi
A reportrr mot the enthusiastic lishei
muan, "Cod ihm1ng," said the captait
"begins on Novembor 15 and continut
until sprng. This is my twelfth yel
of fishing about New York, and ever
year 1 learn more about the watys of th
cod and his followers. The way ti
we know that the cod has miado his at
pearaluce is by the advent of the dog-cot
a not agrecalie but seasonable litfl
fish. They are voiy peculiar in appel'
anmce, having a horn on their bagk 11
and also on their tail nieasurinug
two inches in length. When the o46i

on a cod-fishing excursion I nak
arrangements to 1ish five hours, and i
the weather and ground are hairorail
the catch ranges from 550 to 1,500 i
number, the fish weighing troni 3 to 5
pounds. The big fellows cannot,
courso, be landed with tihe line ailone
We use a large gail-hook, striking ih
barl) into the fish's back and thus land
ing him.
"Cod fishing is invariably done wit
drop lir.es. 'lhe imackmeni use wi
are termed 'scroll lines.' They ar
from 1.000 to 10,000 feet in leigth at.
hold about 0,000 hooks. The line j

circlo about three feet from Whe bottoni
The hooks are biited with sea clanis o
"'skinners." The scroll is left on th
bottom for twelve hours and theni i
retrieved, whenm it is vea y ol tenl discos

is the way in which the great haul

Tho chief sporting paper of Vienna
k has published the description of a bear
y hunt in Trausylvaia wbih is gene
railly attributed to the pon of the Crown
Prince Rudolph, aud is perused with
great interest. After relating the Wni
dents of the first unsuccessful cday,
r during which several bears wero met
with and wounded, but not a single on
killed, the Crown Princo continues:
"On the 27th September we still hunted
in the forest, but close to its edge,
s where tilled floids anid houses would be
r likely to prevent the bear from escaping
U out of the wood. The drivers' first
triail was in viain--no bear showed Itself;
but their second march through the
wood was more successful. The row of
I luuiters stood in a deep trench in which
grew splendid old pines (each hunter
11n11. his trenichmanlil and several Young
forest ers behind him, who load the ritles
aiAuld present thon to the huuter). After
waiting for sine tine a powerful owl
flew by me, and inieudiately afterwards
c:iie a two-year old brown boar, who
trottOd -ownl the montain side, making
for the spaco between Count M. and
hiron J. Just as lie was reaching the
rp)lain t he Baron shot him inl the shoil
deIr. lie now changed his direction,
and ran away at great.speied, so that the
Count's ball missed himi. 110 was still
going it a inpi:1 pace, wheni the Count,
while tuning around for his loaded
rlle, Slipped and fell, so that his trench
3 ma was obliged to sendi a shot. after the
lllimll, which caused it to fall an1d roll
forwird, Another shot from the trench
man's rillo at last mado an end to his
life, after lie had risen from the ground,
aid matd2ei a few paces more. The hear
was borne home in trilunph. " Oin the
t. lih of Septembller the Crown Prince
ha an active 81aro in ho hunt., which
3 ho deseribes 1 follows:-"We had
taken cur plaees ()in the broad road used
by the wvoo2d earts. J had stood about
at uarter-of-an-hour at the pliaoo 2as

We did not see hin again. Very soon

candidly owns that lie did not kill a
