The Squire’s Apples. “Such pretty apples!” cried Lin net Dessoir, ecstatically. “With red cheeks, jnst as if a fairy pencil bad painted them, and delicious, bloomy streaks here and there! I should like to oopy them on a pla que or a pauel or something, if only one oonld be sure of reprodnoing those delicate tints ot rose and white!" “Well, I declare!" said Rose He bron, the country cousin, whom she was visiting, laughing with a mer ry, thrash-like laugh, as the two girla sac on a moss-enameled boulder Under the boughs of the lady-apple- tree, with here and there a yeilew leaf flattering dreamly down at their feet, “Who would dream of such a poetical description applying to the apples that grow in Squire Sandford'g orchard?" “Wasn't it good ot him to allow us to gather them?" said Linnet, trimming the aide-leaflets off a love ly branch of yellow golded-rod. “I shall not believe that they are absolutely ours though," declared Rose, “until I see them in the old apple bin at home." “Why not?” “Oh, Squire Cedric is eccentric!” Rose answered, carelessly. “Cedric? Is that bis name?” “Yes. Isn't it an odd relic of the Saxon times?" laughed Rose. “It’s a very romantic name,” re marked Linnet, wrinkling her brows in pretty consideration of the epi thet. “Zfe isn’t romantic," observed Rose. “Isn’t he? But why not?" “He's so old! Thirty, at least!” Rose responded, with an emphatic nod of the bead. “Horrid ogre!'* said Linnet, who was in her seventeenth year. “Come, Rosey, let’s go home. I’m as hungry as a cannibal! Gathering apples is such bard work)" She skipped ahead,, with her yel low tresses floating behind, like stray strands of sunshine, aud her while dress rustling over the drifts of perfumed leaves that carpeted the path. Rose followed, with affectionate eyes of admiration. “What is the difference oetweeu me aud Linnet?" she asked herself. “My dress is white also; my hair is as gold as hers. Why is it that site is like a dancing npirte~-I, a plod ding human being?" Poor little Rosy! She did not rea lize that Linnet Dessoir had grown up in an altogether difl'ereut atmos phere; that Linnet bad unconscious !y modeled her dress from the grace ful robes which her lather, the ar tist, kept to drape his lay-figures; that her eye bad been trained, her taste cultured, in every possible point. “He’s only a poor struggling ar tist!" Farmer Hebron bad been wont eoutemtously to observe, when he saw his brother-in-law’s name among the lists specially honored by the Academy ot Design, “He’s a good follow enough," Eugene Dessoir airly remarked, when bis agricultural conne :tion happened to be mentioned. “But be has’t an idea beyond his own fat cattle) He don’t live; he only vege tates!” Linnet, however, the bright, moth erless young beauty, was a great fa vonte of the kind-hearted Bebrons; and wben she had so enthusiastical ly admired the beautiful pink-aud- white lady-apples on Squire Band- ford’s tree, Mr, Hebron bad gone so far out of his way to ask the squire for a barrel. “Just to please the little girl," said he. “Bbe thjuksadeal ot pret ty things.” “She ia quite welcome," said Squire Bandford, with formal po Uteueas, “If you will send a barrel to tbs tree to morrow, Mr. Hebron, it shall be tilled for your niece.” Aud wben the squire said tbishe pictured in- bis mind’s eye the afore said niece as a romp of eleven or twelve, with shingle hair, freckles aud preteruaturally long arms, AU night loug Linnet Dessoir dreamed of the lady-apples, and wheu the sun rose, a sphere of ru bied fire, above the eastern bills, stoe jumped out of bed aud dresaed herself with baste.. “I can't sleep another minute,” said she, ‘ It’s just tbe very sort of mejndug to walk oat across tbe woods and look at tbe lady-apple- trsa, with tbe little spring gashing ont so close toils roots, and tbe blue asters, and thickets of golden- rod, by the stone teuce. 1 won’t wake Rosy. Rosy was up late last night, putting labels ou the quince ielly. I’ll let her sleep, and go by myself!" Rut Miss Hebron was oo more of a laggard in the moruiug than was her city oonsin. At seven precisely she knocked at Linnet’s door, but the bird bad flown. “How provoking!" said Rose. “But I’ll follow ber She mnat have gone to try to make that sketch of the old mossy rock close to tbe lady apple tree! I wonder if she knows that my father has pastured A) a * in theadjoiniug field?" “Ajax” was a savage, beautiful bull, who was at once the pride aud torment of farmer Hebron, and a thrill of terror came into Rose’s heart as she made all sjieed to fol low tbe dewy traok of Linnet’s foot steps over the grass, As she reached tbe belt of woods close to the apple-orchard, she paus ed in dismay at tbe found of a sweet, high pitched voice. It’s Linnet!" she Avoiautarily ex claimed. “And yifehe’s sooldmg somebody. Deaf me, whom can it be? Surely not Ajax!" ♦Yon are a tbiei|" she could bear Linnet exclaim—“a robber j Let that barrel of apples alqne, I say 1 don’t oare whether yon are Squire Saudford or not. That barrel of apples is mine!" And as Rose drew near, she could see this dimpled young Amazon resolutely defending the barrel of apples, with her single strength, against Squire Staudford aud his stoutest farm laborer. She stood there, with one slight band on the red-checked fruit, which was brimming over the bir- rel-boops, and before ber tbe tall squire aud his herculean aidrde- camp were helpless. “If you will allow me to explain —" pacifically began the squire. “I will allow nothing!” declared Linnet. “I repeat, these apples are mine! Touch them, at your peril!" Thus far the young heroine was a conqueror. But alas! iu that very momeut of victory Nemesis was at hand. There was tbe dull sound of trampling hoofs, theu a sullen bel low, and Ajax himself, bursting through a week spot iu tbe fence, was upon them. Linnet Dessoir collapsed, so to speak, at once. She forgot her he roism, her dignity—everything but ber danger, and, flew, for rescue, to Squtre Saudford, shrieking; “Save mej save mej” Tbe farm hand dodged behind the wagon; but Squire Saudford never quailed, but held her resolutely iu his arms. “Do not be afraid," he said, al most as if he had been speaking to a frightened child. “Nothing shall barm yon, little one!" For ap instant, things look very black; then Squire Saudford spoke gently once more, “Do not hold my arm so tightly,'’ said he, “Let me get at my revolv er. I must shoot tbe brute! No, don’t be so terrified. Do not you bear me say that nothing should harm you!' 1 And then the problem resolved itseelf, as problems ofteu do, Ajax, butting his huge bead against tbe barrel of lady apples, sent them rolling iu all directions, and caught his horns in tbe barrel itself, effect ually blinding him. He set off at a wild gallop down tbe bill, bellowing as be went, and there be met bis fate in tbe slia|»e of two or three men with a running noose - of rope and a good siont chain. “Hello, pet!" shouted Farmer Hebron’s voice. '“What’s tbe mat ter? She hasn’t fainted, has she, squire?’ And Linnet, realizing that she was sate, blusliingly withdrew from Mr. Sandford’s sheltering arms, and ran to her uncle. “I am so much' obliged to you, sir," she whimpered. “And please— please dou’t mind what 1 said about the apples. You are quite welcome to them." “Hey? Apples?” said Mr. Heb ron. “Whv, Linnet didn’t you know that I carted the barrel of apples that tbe squire give you borne last night." Linnet grew erimson all over, and fled to Rose’s faithful breast tor con solation I-*l shall never dare to look that man in tbe face again," she bewail ed herself. “Ob, dear—oh, dear, wbatmust be have thought of me?" But of course Mi. Saudford con sidered it only right aud proper to call that evening, and inquire bow Miss Dessoir found herself; and really tbe meeting was' not half as Linnet bad fancied it would be. They bad a good laugh about Ajax and the apples; aud Linnet confessed bow dreadfully frighten ed she bsd been. “And with reason,* said Squire Saudtord. “There was a second or two in which we were iu very seri ous danger.” “Rut you will forgive me about the apples ?" said Linnet, with pret ty, coaxing earnestness. “Ob, yes, I will forgive you about thy apples.!" Squire Saudtord laugh ingly returned. And iu that very moment Linnet thought wbat a very pcetty color big eyes were, decided that he could not possibly be thirty years old. • ***■* “Isn’t it strange," said Rose He bron, “that we have lived neighbor to Squire Saudford'all these years, and be has never been more than ordinarily polite to mef And here comes Lionet, and quarrels with him at five initiates’ notice, and calls him all sorts of names, and now they are engaged to be married, and I am to be tbe bridesmaid." “Not at all strange P said M iss ' ■ j Dessoir. “To me it seems as nice and natural as possible. But you are mistaken about bis nge, Rosy. He is only twenty nine. And if he were a hundred and twenty-nine, I should love him all tbe same.” “Of course," said Rose j that is what all engaged girls say.”—Helen Forest droves. How to Cook Husbands, We kuow how food good house keepers are of good "receipts, so we insert the following: Miss Corson said, in tbe Balti- jnore Cooking School, that a Balti- ^noro lady had written a recipe for “cooking bnabands, so as to make them tender and good." It is as follows; A good many bnsbands are alter- ly spoiled by mismanagement. Some women aot as if their hus bands were bladders, and blow them np. Others keep them con stantly in hot water; others let them freeze by their carelessness and indifference. Some keep them in a stew by irritating ways and words. Others roast them Some keep them in a pickle all tbeir lives. It cannot be supposed that any bus baud will be tender and good man aged in this way; but they are really delicious when properly treated. In selecting your husband, you should not be guided by tbe silvery appearance, as in buying mackerel, nor by the golden tint, as if yon wanted salmon. Be sure and select them yourself, as tastes differ. Do not go to tbe market for him, as the best are always brought to vour door. It is far better to have none unless you will patiently learn bow to oook him. A preserving kettle of tbe finest porcelain is best; but it you have nothing but an earth- euware pipkin, it will do, with care. Sen that the linen iu which yon wrap him is nicely washed and mended, with the required number of buttons and strings nicely sewed on. Tie him in tbe kettle by a strong silk cord called comfort, as tbe one called duty is ant to be weak. Make a clear, steady fire out of love, neatness and cheerfulness, Set him as near this as seems to agree with him. If be sputters and fizzes, do not be very anxious; some busbanda do this till they are quite done. Add a httle sugar in the form of what eonteciiorers call kisses; hut no vinegar or pepper on any account, A little spice im proves them, but it must be used with judgment. Do not stick any sharp instrument into him to see if be is becoming tender, Stir him gently. You cauuot tail to know wben be is done. If thus treated, you will find him very digestible, agreeing nicely with you and tbe children, and be will keep so long as you want, uu less you become careless and set him iu too cold a place. Curious Coincidence. The other day while a Michigan Oentral train was waiting at St. Thomas a youn* mail of twenty five was observed to be closely regard ing a solid looking old gent of fifty who had come through from Ubi cago. Finally the young man step ped up and inquired: “Isn’t this Mf. R—=-. of Chica go?" “Yes, sir.’’ “I am Mr. J—r-forinerly of the same place but now of Toronto. Do you rcmeiulwr me?” “Really, but I do not," “1 was a clerk in your pork house. I aspired to tbe baud of your daugh ter. You drove me hence because I had uo ducats.’ “Ob, yes it seems as if I do recall something of tbe sort " “Well, sir, I want you to under stand that you made a mistake. 1 am now worth $18,000, aud could give your daughter every luxury." “Eighteen thousand dollars, eb? That’s quite a sum " “Yes, sir, and I’m the man you drove heoce ” “Eighteen thousand dollars," mused the old gent. “Wbat a.cur ious coincidence! That’s exactly the sum my daughter's husband gave her tbe other day to buy summer pug dogs with! I must jot this coincidence down." Somebody held tha young mao up until the weakness left his kuees a little, and tbe he went beuce soma more.— Free Press.

Women’s power in the world is measured by her power to please, Whatever she may wish to accom plish she will best manage it by pleasing. A woman’s grand social aim should be to please. a. Modesty is tbe ground on which all woman’s charms appear to the greatest advantage. In man ners, dress, con vernation remember always that modesty mast not be forgotten. 3. So tbe woman’s aim is to please and modesty is tbe first principal iu tbe art oi pleasing. 4 Always dress up to your age or h little beyond it L* ,t your per son be the youngest thing about yon, not tbe oldest, 5. Remember that wbat women admire iu themselves is seldom wbat men admire in them. fl Women’s beauties are 'seldom men’s beauties, 7. Gayety tempered by seriousness is tbe happiest manner iu society. 6. Always speak low. 9. A plain woman can never be pretty, She can always be iasciu- atjug if she takes pains, Ifi Every year a woman fives the more pains she should take with ber dress. II. In all things let a woman ask what will please the men of sense before she asks wbat will please the men of fashion. Miraculous Escape. W. W.
