A young man who spent his summer vocation on a Maine farm says that new instances of the thrift and shrewdness of bis landlady arc constantly thrusting themselves upon his attention. One day n wagon load of unexpected relatives descended on ttT6 'Yn'rm, and the mistress was, as she afterward frankly said, "put to it" to provide enough food for dinner. Flic brought forward among other things an apple pic which seemed to the boarder far Inferior to the pies she usually made. But when she served it she spoke of her reputation as a picmaker. "They do say r.t the sociables that nobody's pies quite come up to mine," she remarked, with a beaming smile, "and apple pies are what you might call my specialty. I've often been asked for the recipe, but I tell 'em it's knack and Judgment does it, not rule." The pie disappeared, and then, when her guests were not as hungry as they bad been, she brought forth a second pie, flaky of crust and luscious to the taste. "Why, Aunt Mary," said the youn?a ..a?. ? i.?.. ~ nf (irni ui iuv |?jh ly, 11 uujr ui inini', i think this pie's ever so much better than the other, nnd you haven't said a word about it!" His ndrit looked at him without so much as a twinkle in her eyes. "This one will go down without praising, I reckon," she snhl gravely. The Keeegihy of Mystery. To be* content in utter darkness and Ignorance is indeed unmanly, nnd therefore we think that to love light and And knowledge must be always right. Tet (as in all matters beforo observed) wherever pride lias any share in the work even knowledge and light may be ill pursued. Knowledge Is good and light is good, yet map perished In seeking knowledge nnd the moths perish in seeking l^ght, and If wo vwho are crushed before the moth \rlil not accept such mystery as Is needfnl to us we shall perish in like manner. None but the proud will mourn Wer this, for we may nlwnys know jpore If we choose by working on, but the pleasure Is, I think, to hmnbl^ peoplo In knowing that the jourue* Is ondless, the treasure Inezbaostiwe.?"Lamps of Architecture," Baskinl . j ZfcrOfc Costs Otly 29 ceat luUl U Mit! to O. nTe^erteeee^S&frw^iteelleBl modielitn, TEE TBI N> tronbWUnthlag.

"Every once In awhile one rends in the newspapers of the detennlnntlon of sonic one cf the high governuieut otllcin's to discover tlie source of 'the leak* of a piece of news which it was net desired should he given cut at that particular time," remarked na old Washington correspondent, "and without giving the solution to the secret escapes of pultlic information, as they vary, I will tell you of ore instance which serves to show how news appears in print in what Is considered by all concerned to he a very mysterious manner. Like nil mysteries, when unraveled it Is wondered that It was not thought of before. My story Is entirely a part of the secret sources of Information which all correspondents have more or less at their disposal and which often comes from the outside and not from the iuside of the departments.

'hear in this particular instance, though 1 was, of course, as vigilant as ever. The time for the maturing of tlie ] project was close at hand, and any day i it might by official announcement be- i come public property. One night as I was sitting Idly In the lobby of an up- i town hotel, half dozing In my chair, waiting for the appearance of a senator with whom 1 had an appointment on an luconsequoMtial matter, I overheard 0110 i of two gentlemen who were sitting bo- j hind nio drop the words 'the president.' 1 The high backs of our chairs nearly touched, and by Instinct my drowsy sensgs became clear and I woke up. " 'The president,' remarked one of the I gentlemen, 'said that it was his intcu- I lion to adopt that course irrespective 1 of the consequences either to himself or < the party.' i " 'Hut you pointed out to him what it < meant to us?that he was clearly in er- < ror?' replied the other gentleman. " 'Elaborately,' responded the first ! speaker, 'but the president said that he 1 1 was convinced that accruing results would prove that we, and not he, were in error.' " 'Then we may as well go back to ' Now York tomorrow,' was the answer, # < and both gentlemen arose aud walked I 1 toward the cafe, apparently in a very I despondent frame of mind. < . "1 was an involuntary listener to this 1 scrap of conversation, in which, it will 1 be observed, not a single word was ' dropped as to the subject matter thereof. 1 at once jumped to the couclnsion ' that the government, through the president's action, intended to take the affirmative of the proposition, the news 6ldc of which the correspondents had so long and earnestly eudcavorcd to ascertain. With a straight tip as to the course of the government tho correspondent could do the rest, wlillo with the wrong tip he could not only make his paper ridiculous, but would in all . probability lose his position; hence tho I care In making a scare head, page wide I story. "In the furtherance of my conclusion my paper hod the 'beat' of the season the following morning, as I stated the facts os though they came from official sources, ns. Indeed, such I considered them. To my mind, ns n correspondent, it was as clear ns If the president himself bad given me the Information. Two days after, a member of the cabinet goto out officially what I had wired over and with It the announcement that the leak* had occasioned^ much 'annoyance, aod Its source Wgujd bit Investigated thoroughly.'
