“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

But it was all true, nevertheless
-and Kate Ormsby looked radiant

orange blossoms and white muslin,

Truxtou’s side I

How Sugar is Made.
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

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.
