April 8,1886. ly “It seems to me I don’t look as well as usual to night,” said Mrs. Major Dartburg. She shook her jet-black carls in a serpentine cataract about her face as she spoke, and critically survey ed herself in the glass. Mrs. Major Dartbnrg had been younger, and she bad been prettier, lutshe was surprisingly well gotteu- up for all that. By gaslignt you could scarcely bave told that she was a day over thirty years of age Aud, as she invariably took the precaution to be accompanied into “society” by her companion, Miss Ormsby, whose special duty it was to observe and correct mistakes ot costume, complexion and curls be fore other eyes could possibly take note of them, Mrs. Dartbnrg telt tolerably safe. Mrs. Dartburg was a widow in search of a rich husband. The de ceased major bad been inconsider ate enough to die and leave her without an income which was de- cidely incompatible with her wants —and the only thing left for her was to marry some one who could supply the awkward deficiency. So Kate Ormsby was taken every year to some gay watering place or biilliaiitly-throoged springs. “Kate was very unlike her pa troness, as she sat there pale and quiet iu her blue dress. Her face was oval, with limpid, hazel eyes; features pure and straight, aud mas ses of raven black bair coiled lu heavy braids at the back of her bead. “Insipid looking!” Mrs. Major Dartburg declared. Kate cared very Utile for the verdict, as long as her “salary,” as Mrs. Dart burg preferred to phrase it, sufficed lor the support of her two little or pban brothers. “No,” said Mrs. Dartburg, queru lous'y, “I don’t look as well as usu al, and if Mr. Truxtou is to be there, I want to look better. Mr. Truxtou has estates iu the West Indies, owns a yacht aud drives a four-iu-hand. I tell you what, Kate, you must put ou a little more rouge ou the left cheek! And, Kate—if you would only leave off wearing those dowdy black dresses! I teally am beginuiui; to be asham ed of you when we go into the ball room. Do get something new and stylish—a black iron-grenadine, or a China crape ~ “1 have others to provide for besides myself,” said Kate, quietly. “I caunot afford the new decora tions of which you speak, Mrs. Dartburg.” “But I’m pot aware tha-; I am called upou to support all the beg gars aud orphans in creation !” said the widow, sharply. “Here—put this spray of purple pausies in your hair—thev are quite mouruing enough, I’m sure.” Mrs. Dartburg’s scarlet-lipped smile was uuwontedly sweet that night, as she courtesied low to Mr. Truxtou, the rich widower. “He’s handsome,” thought the husband huntress. “Dear me, he can’t be over forty, and as straight as an arrow!” Aud she chatted away in her most fascinating manner as she walked through the rooms, leaning on Mr. Truxton’s arm. “A very agreeable woman,” thought the millionaire, “though uot as young as she has been! Knows everybody, and seems ex ceedingly amiable. If 1 should marry again—and, really, little Tom needs a womau’s care wheu he ia at home for tbe holidays—it certainly is worth tbiukiug about 1” These were the disjointed medita tions that passed through Mr. fruxtoa’a mind as he politely list ened to tbe widow’s chit-chat, aud asked questions about the various occupants of tbe crowded room. u Wbo is that tall girl by tbe window f” be asked, “with the black eyes and tbe pretty hair !” “How strauge that you should notice her! Why, she is my com panion, Kate Ormsby, a sort of poor relation, whom I keep with me out of pure charity.” agaiu that with such au amiable peraouage as this his motherless little boy would hardly fail to be happy. “It’s a trial at times,” went on Mrs. Dartburg, who was determin ed to neutralize the admiration which beamed in Mr. Truxtou’s eyes, as he glanced back over his shoulder toward Kate’s queenly form, “for her temper ia exceeding ly uncertain.” Mr. Truxtou felt himself more and more attracted toward this angelic creature, aud be took the first opportunity to ask: “Whether she was fond of childreu f” “I adore them,” said tbe widow, eiasuiog her bauds. “I am glad of that,” said Mr. Truxtou. “I have a little boy of my owu!” How transparent is man ! Is it any wouder that Mrs. Dartburg felt as she took off her curls aad teeth, at half past twelve, that she had done a good evening’s work I It happened that the next day Mr. Truxton took it into bis head to go to St. Sebastian’s Hall, a select boardinghouse “for boys under twelve,” to see his little son. “Have you been to Saratoga, pat” loudly demanded Tommy Truxton. “Jack aud Billy Ormsby bave got a sister at Saratoga.” And Jack aud Billy, two apple cheeked urchins of uitie aud ten, chimed artlessly iu: “Did you see our Kate, sir F’ ’•Who is your Kate t” asked Mr. Truxtou, amused at their boy- ways. “She’s Miss Ormsby,” said Bill, “and sbe’s companion to Old Cat Dartburg.” “To—whom, did you say F’ ask ed tbe widower, somewhat puz zled “He means Mrs. Major Dart burg,” explained Jack; “but he calls her Old Cat, because sbe’s so cross to Kate. Kate wouldn’t stay there, only she needs tbe mouey to keep us at school. But wheu me aud Bill get big enough to work, down iu an arm-chair ; as she after ward expressed it, “tfn the strength went out of her at the thought of that girl’s malicious maneuver ing.” But it was all true, nevertheless -and Kate Ormsby looked radiant ly beautiful, a month afterward, in orange blossoms and white muslin, as she stood at the altar by Mr. Truxtou’s side I And if anyone wants to know “what became of them all,” we only can say that Kate and her husband are scarcely less happy at Truxton Place than are Bill, Jack aud little tow-headed Tommy—and M r s.

The process of “sugar-making,” in we won’t let the Old Cat torment her any more.” “She boxes Kate’s ears some times,” said Bill, resentfully, “aud once she polled ber hair. Kate cried awfully. We went there last holiday to spend a day with Kate, and ! he Old Cat banged us round awful—she said she bated boys!” “That was’cause Bill four d ber false let th in a gl ss of water,” said Jack, “aud 1 painted myself up out of her dressing box, with rouge and lily-white, to look like au Indian ou the war-path ! Aud she took her curls off wheu she lay down fora nap,aud we played they was a scalp ! And Bill asked her why her hair didn’t grow on ber head like Kate’s did !” Mr. Truxtou burst out laugh mg. “Yon must have rendered your self generally obuoxious !” he ex claimed. He went back to Saratoga ou the evening train—aud the first person he saw, as he ascended the steps of the Clarendon Hotel, was Mrs. Major Dartburg, in a fresh toilette of white musliu and blue ribbous. While Kate Ormsby sat just behiud her, with a book iu her hand, ou which her dark melaucholy eyes were fixed. “She is beautiful!” thought tbe millionaire, but it was not the wid ow that he was looking at. Tbe days s|>ed by—;he widow be lieved that every one was installing her more firmly in Mr. Truxtou’s heart. While Kate—but Kate had such a quiet way that nobody could really have told how she was pass ing her time. One evening Mrs. Major Dart burg came up to her room, rather “put out” because Mr. Truxton bad just driven his magnificent tonr-iu band away from the door without asking her to occupy tbe vacaut seat beside him. ‘•Kate !” she said, sharply. “Kate Ormsby, what are you doing! For iug over a book of poetry, again, as I live; and that lace sbawl not draped over the white silk dres- for the evening!” “I think there i s still time enough 1” said Kate, quietly. “Dou’t coutradict me !” said the widow iu a passion, “or I’ll die charge you on the spot. I’ve borne with your temper quite long enongh.” ‘In that case,” said Kate, calmly, “we shall both be suited, for I was just about to notify yon of my in tention to leave yonr service.” “And starve in the gutters!” cried Mrs. Major Dartbnrg, spite fmly. “1 think not,” said Kate, with a halfsmiie hovering about her lips. “What are yon going to do, then !” “I believe I shall be married soon,” said Kate, flashing scarlet iu tbe friendly twilight. “My goodness gracious!” said Mrs. Dartbnrg. “And what poor fool would be orazy enough to mar ry yon I” .“Mr. Truxtou I” Kate answered, goaded to frankness by tbe wid ow’s insulting tone. “We bave its essentials, is a simple enough matter of cookery. The first care of tbe producer is to get all the su gar possible out of the cane or grass or root, either by squeezing out the juice or washing out tbe sugar; the sugar maple saves the sugar-maker this trouble, deliveriug tbe sap ready for the boiler. The juice is then cleared of its impurities, as coffee is cleared by the. white of an egg, or water is filtered through charqoal; it is then boiled, to evap orate as much of the water as pos sible, and crystalize tbe solid sugar; it is then cooled, and the molasses drained off. leaving the soft dark sugars, in which eacli crystal has its thin coating of molasses, or dried by a centrifugal machine, as clothes are dried iu the whirling drier, whence tbe water flies out, or furth er clarified aud left to crystallize in white loaves, which are sawed or crushed or ground or powered into the several varieties of fine white sugar. Most of these earlier pro cesses are performed on the plauta tions, but in mau.y cases they are repeated aud tbe sugar carried through the fiual process iu tbe great refineries. “Kefluing” is, in fact, little more than a finer repeti tion of the processes of “making,” and to do these simple things ou a great scale and in the best way is the sole purpose of those enormous beehives of industry. The sugar maker’s first aim is to get from the cane as much of its percentage of juice as it can be iu- duced to give up. The juice is en closed in little cells of liguose, or woody fibru, which make'the other tenth of the cane’s weight. There are three ways of extracting the juice—by crushing, by soaking out tbe sugar by the process of “ illu sion,” or by a combination of crush ing and of macerations in water Crushing or grinding the cane is a process in use from the earliest times, as is seen in the primitive sugar-mill of the East, which con sist ot the hollowed stump ot a tree, within which is a grinding pestal worked by oxen treading their round, driven from tbe arm of the jar by one man, while another feeds n pieces of cane, one by one, aud takes out the crushed remains. A mill almost as primitive as this is still iu use in Arkansas. The sugar-house ou a great plau- tation is a large, high building, the centre of tbe farm, to which roads or tramways lead from all directions. As a load of cane comes up, it is ted upon au endless belt or railway, which carries it up slowly to the crushing mill, au aflair of simple construction but of enormous pow er. The crushers are great rollers of cast-iron, in pairs or triplets, sometimes one set, sometimes more working at a pressure of from fifty to eighty pounds to tbe square iucb, aud so arranged as to give slightly belore any extraordinary strain. There are ali sorts of opinions as to whether it is better to crush rapid !y or slowly, and to crash once only or to repeat the operation with iu creasing pressures The juice flows from the crushers in one direction ; the residual cane, now known as “begass,” is carried oft in another by an endless belt, to be used eith er tor dressing for the cane fields or as fuel iu the heating processes which the juice is next to undergo. One of tbe great improvements iu modern sugar-making has been tbe development of furnaces which get most of their fuel from the be —R. K. Rowker, in Harper’t Maga tine for June. Progress in the Dentist’s Art. There has been no charge iu tbe manner of pulling teeth in the past twenty-five years; the old way of] catching them with the forceps'at.a jerking them out is still the only re liable and effective way of getting rid of them that is known to dentis try. There are, of course, methods which are called painless, but there is nothing sure or good about them. Other branches of the. profession, though, have progressed, aud we bave almost perfect machinery for the cleansing, filling and fitting of teeth. Electricity, too, has been applied, furnishing tbe i>ower for a machine that is used to give tbe soft, steady blows required in filling teeth. Some dentists now take out a tooth, or several teeth, clean them and set them back iu their places, where they take new root. This is called grafting. It is too painful to be generally practiced. Other im provements that may be mention ed are the new crowns which are put ou old stumps or roots, and tbe process of “bridging,” by which two or three teeth may be put iu without using a plate, bands of gold passing between and around the false teeth joining to the natural teeth at either side aud holding them in place. Packing the Lungs with Air. Deep breathing and bolding of the breath is au item of importance. Persons of weak vitality find an un interrupted succession of deep aud rapid respiration, so distressing that thev are discouraged from per severing in the exercise. Let such persons take into the lungs us much air as they can at a breath and hold it as loug as they cau, aod they will fiud a grateful sense of reliei in the whole abdominal region. Prac tice will increase ability to hold the breath and the capacity of the lungs. After a time the art may be learned of packing tbe lungs. This in done by taking aud bolding the loug breath and then forcing more air down the traebae by swal lows of air. The operation may be described by that ot a fish’s mouth in the water. To those who 'have never learned it will be surprising to what extent the lungs may be packed. Caution at first is needful but later practice will warrant large use of tbe treatment. The whole thoracic aud abdominal cavities will receive immediate benefit, aud continuance aud temperance iu eat ing, good air aud right exercise, will bring welcome improvement. —Herald of Health.
