I,et her sec thai u think kindly of her. Yonr fathei isn't a good lookiu' man when ] irriod him, Jlst a rawboned farm 's boy, and I ink him in preferenei the best lookiu' feller in them part) cause he used to come ronnd whci hailn't not bin' to do nud churn ant ilk for me. When I saw him churn or 8uttin' on a stool tnilkin' to snv< s work I forgot his red hair and hi) ^cklen and his big knees and elbowi il sot my heart right on to him."

But wha' uld 1 do? Liz didn't churn or mill ws. She taught younkers reodln' itln* and 'rithmelic. I could't. spel r at that. I couldn't go tot hei hool and say, "See here. Liz, yot t go out aud sprywl yourself or e grass and I'll teach 'em for you.' couldn't say that 'cause I dldn'i ow enough. )ne day after school I mot Liz com home, and she was eryin".

Down mountain slopes, across the great plantations and along tho streets of cities of the south are trails of lost fortunes Ou the MIsrIs aippl river the shanty boaters tell tales of kettles of gold coin and money that ? were buried in the brakes or revealed r in the caving hank of the Mississippi t by h cascade of coin rushing down the . crumbling slope into the flood Now t and then some sharp darky appears ,a . with a handful of old gold, t A mathematician might estimate the quantity of nugget gold hidden by the r placer miners, the loggers, tinkers. tramps, soldiers?all the kinds of for r tunes that are tucked away in useless 7 and wasteful neglect In nil parts of , the country?in stockings, mattresses, old clothes, garrets, cellars, hollow trees, hovels, mansions, caches of des r peradoes ami hidings of foreigners.

An amusing anecdote is related Of the Into Huncarinti stntosmiiii TiKzn. I who when one day dining at the Hofburg with the Austrian emperor placed a largo pear upon his plate at dessert The emperor remarked to his minis- = tor that cold fruit after n hot dinner i was injurious to the digestion.

In the sixteenth century testers were appointed in England whose duty it was "to test and assize the beer to see if it be fit for n man's body." One of the methods of testing ale was in spilling some of it on a wooden seat when the tester, attired in leathern breeches, sat down thereon. If he adhered to his seat the beer was adulterated with saccharine substances: if he could rise without inconvenience it was not adulterated.?London Mail. Chance For a Meal.
