"Woulan't it be well, mamma, for me to telegraph him that I have re considered. and invite him to come tu New York?" "By no means," returned the ma tron, an expression of horror showing on her face. "Always remember, Nina, that to run after a man is sui cidal to your hopes of catching him. When you meet Mr. Stewart again, let him suppose by your treatmenttof him, that a second proposal will meet with a more favorable answer. Now let us hurry down into the saloon and get our dinner before it is too late. Both of the schemers had forgotten that the partitions between the state-rooms are anything but impene trable. The result was that every I word had been heard by Evelyn I (ranger, Nina's cousin. in the ad. joining state-room. Evelyn's face I flushed deeply as soon as she compre- i hended what was being said, she J coughed once or twice, but evidently I the mother and daughter did not catch this signal that their talk was overheard. The tiush on Evel-- :e gave way to pallor. S1 cienched her hands, stamped one little foot i angrily, and then the word '-mercen- i ary" escaped her in a groan. At last, unable to listen longer to the heartless talk of her relatives, she left the stateroom and stood in the cabin outside. She was the e when Nina and Mrs. Weatherford came out of their room. They yassed to the table in silence. Hardly were they seated, when Nina I whispere-l: "M1amma. there is Mr. Stewart now " Mrs. Weatherford looked up. and beheld the young man just entering the dining-room. "Attract him here, Nina, if you can do so without appearing obtrus ive" Nina caught the young man's eye and smiled. He was in mournin' but that fact did not save him from the worldly inclination to blush. He bowed and hastened to her side. "1ay 1 join you?" he asked, in a low tone. r Nina's second smile must have shown him bow welcome he was. And a meaning one at Evelyn caused that Gerald stewart might sit at Nina's side. "I thought you were In Boston," Miss Weatherford said, turning the battery of her wonderful eyes full upon him. 2 "I was going to Newport," hesaid, "but changed my mind, and will keep on to New York." "That is kind of you," murmured Nina, trying hard to appear confused. After dinner Mr. Stewart escorted the ladies to the deck and made him self most aireeable. '31r. Stewart and his newly ac' qui'red millions are yours, Nina,' said Mrs. Weatherford, kissing her daughter, as they returned to thelir statero .m for the night. In New York Gerald Ste.wart made I fre tuenit visits to the Weatherfcrd's1 homre. Nina aid her best to encour age him to a renewed proposal.

Nina wondered that ner campa1en was so long drawn out. Many con sultationis were held between mother and daughter, but the former ex pressed her belief that things were ~oinig well enough, and that there was no need for heroic measures to bring the leisurely lover to book. A t last G erald Stewart sought Mrs. Weatherford, and the latter, getting one look at his face, knew '-it was cowing." -'\Mrs. Weatherford," he began, yowly, '"I am a lonely man, and I1 have- felt for a I ng while that I neced a wife to make life's path a, cheerier one.

I hope that you do not findt anry objection to me as a husiband for your ne'.ce." Of course Mrs. Weatherford did see an obleedon-a paramount one-shei wanted him for Nina.

HappineSs in God. The happiness of this mysterious iazu c of ours is never to be found nerely in the possession of God's rifts, the work or is hand, or the ounties of His providence. The oul can find its tiue sat sfactiou )nlv in risine beyond the gifts, and aming theGiver as Its own. When ou covet the friendship or love of a ellowman, it does not satisfy you rhat he bestows upon you only out ard gifts--his money, his property, us hboor-.what cares a loving, lonj Ina heart for these? rnless the man g ive you something mcre than these, give you himself, and become yours by the :bond of deepest spmpathv and atiection, the rest are but worthless: boons. So it is in the soul's relationi with God. That after which, by a: nysterious ana inborn affinity, everyl levout spirit yearns, it is not God's' xifts and bounties, but limself.. The wealt~i of words would be to the leart longing after Deity, a m sera ,le substitute for one look of love. rom the Great Father's eye. "M. soul thirsteth for God" is the' anguage in which the Scripture gives .xpression to this deep want of our riature, and points to the ineffable iatisfaction provided for it. "My soul thirsteth for God, for the living -od." "As the hart panteth after the waterbrooks, so panteth my soul i ter Thee. () God."

The discovery of deposits of plat inumi in this country would be as welcome as the un ding of a diamond mine. At present the metal costs naaly half as much as gold, having risen greatly in price within the last three years. It is abs lutely indis. pensable for many purposes, being non corrosive and resisting a ids. it is utilized for chemical apparatus, s'ientiflc instruments and incandes tent lamps. There is some platinum in the teach sands of Oregon, but not enoug~h to pay for mining. Small guantities of it have been discovered recently in the copper mines of Can ada, where it occurs in a new com bination with arsenic. i Two-thirds of the world's supply of platinum comes from two Siberian mines in the Ural Mountains. The metal is obtained there as a by pro i'jct of gold mining. The mining is :lone by scoopin ghioles In the grour~d to a depth of tIlteen feet and then burrow.ng, rat fashion. in all direc tion:.. Twenty-nine hundred carti loads of earth are required to yield lfteen pounds of platinum. The big gest nugget ever found was about the size of a tumbler. O'w the gold is getting scarce and the~ laborers have been drawn oif to build the great Transiberian Railway. Hence the increased cost of platinum, which, unless new deposits are found, is likely never to be cheaper than it sa present. [TS A PALACE OF VICE' NEW YORK'S GAMBLING HOUSE FOR WOMEN.

A comparison of the yields of di :esti ble matter produced by mangels, ugar beets and silage corn when ~rown under similar conditions, and LIso a comparison of the merits of oots and silage for the production of niik and butter, was recently made t the Penny'slvania experiment sta ion, with the following result: In a eeding trial involving two lots of le cows each, and covering three periods of twelve days, 100 pounds of iigestible matter in the silage ration produced 131.92 pounds of milk and . 21 pounds of butter, while an equal amiount of digestible dry matter in the form of roots produced 137.36 pounds of milk, and 6.53 pounds of butter-a difference in the butter of 10.4 per cent, But when the two lots of cows were fed alike on a com bination ration of beets and silage, the silage lot produced, per 100 pounds of digestible matter con sume d. 130 pounds of milk and 6.79 )ouds1 or butter, and the roots lot 10 1.ounds of milk and 6.46 pounds of butter, thus showing an apparent uperi rity of the ccws constitut iog the silage lot. When this is taken account of, it leaves a net gain in feeding value of the s'lage over the roots of 5 per cent. The cost of n acre of beets is $56.07, while thit A an acre of corn is $21.12, bihh Mrl~y prov~es that the latter is Dot 2nly the cheapest but is fully as ef fective as teets for the production of aiiik or butter.-Conne~cticut Farmer.
