Mary walked along with the pale dust gathering on the little white shoes and the pink lining of the . white parasol deepening the bloom on her dimpled cheek. Very seldom had the 'count•ry road gazed upon such a charming picture in all the centuries of ita existence. The walla on either side were smothered, in wild roses and tangled blackberry vines, and from the wood -lot not far away a warns wind blew up a fra- grance of new -mown hay, while she could hear the farmer calling to his men now and then in. a voice which distance made-muaicaL The worldlooked very fair and bright, and she the brightest, fairest thing in. it Nobody would have dreamed that the heart under the. pink sash was very unhappy and almost ready to break. Mary was trying to settle a weighty question in her mind. She knew its truthful answer. well enough, but pride and stubbornness made her, wilfully blind. She had chosen to come up into the country to think- over pros and cons'which were all pros after all. The sun beat down fiercely upon the Leg- horn hat as it neared the ,summit of the little hill. A large oak tree crowned the height, with a seat beneath its boughs, upon which Miss Grinnell seated herself, like a Watteau shepherded,. The view was not very extended, hut wooded and shaded in a way .that Diaz would have toyed, ands email lake lay glittering in the distance out of the green tree tops. It was a peaceful scene, and' one well adapted for a reflective mood, and Mary fell -into a seat of day dream, from which she was at length aroused hy a touch upon her hand.

A light hand was laid on his shoulder, and a silvery voice chirrupped "My dear, you mnsn't do that; it is such bad form. If you want to rest your tired feet use this lovely little stool that I made, all covered with roses." Later on he threw down his paper and yawned. • " My dear, you musn't do that. It is Such bad form. If you want to put year paper aside, nae that lovely little receiver on the wall there, that I embroidered all in violets and Fannies."

After the funeral, two months later, she was saying, as she untied the black strings of her mourning bonnet, and a few friends remained to console her : "Dear Tommy, I—I never knew what growing more aud more like each other ekvillereyd dhianye.i, He was so good, and we were Irish Lassies at the Fair. All visitors to the World's Fair will doubtless want to inspect the Irish village which is being arranged under the auspices of the Countess of Aberdeen and Mrs. Ernest Halt. The latter gives -the following outline of what it will contain: " We shall have seven cottages, in which peasant girls and lads from -Donegal and elsewhere will be seen at work; weaving, spinning, dyeing, sprigging, carving, etc. The girls will look, very pretty in Conne- mara red petticoats, fishwife skirts and blouses, and scarlet cloaks. In the first cottage will be a precise model of a cottage in Donegal, with undressed webs ot granite, with a hooded fireplace and dresser full of bright crockery; a girl will be seen dyeing and spinning our famous hand -and -hearth homespuns, the wool of which she gees from the lichens and heather of her native bog outside. There will be an imi- tation peat fire, and on this the dyer will from time to. time place her iron potato -pot, and proceed to dye the wool This opera- tion is certain to prove immensely attrac- tive to sight -mere, and, as well as the carding, spinning, and bobbin -filling, which will be shown here, is an extremely inter- esting process. "In the second cottage there will be lin- en weaving and embroidering of the famous Kens Art Embroidery; whist linen damask weaving on a Jacquard handloom and fringe -knotting will go on in the third cot- tage. Between this and the next cottage there will bee model dairy, in which dairy- maids will be at work churning and butter - making. I can ,assureour .American cousins they will have a chance of somegood butter, as weehall mid over some of the world - famed Kerry coon which will be stabled at the rears There will also be a pleasant, cool spot here where visitors can rest and drink iced milk. "In the fourth cottage which is under - the especial care of the'lrish Industries Association, every description of Irish lace will be shown. There will be a Limerick lace worker at her frame; the Torchon lace worker t4 the pillow, the numerous „ varie- ties of point lace, and so forth. "Sprigging and veining, which are em- ployed in the production of the beautiful hemstitched handkerchiefs of Belfast, will be shown in the next cottage. The girls of Down are especially noted for their ex- quisite and delicate work. We have not quite definitely decided about the two re- maining cottages, but we shall probably show in the seventh, the vrood-carving in- dustry in Ireland, which has reached aa really remarkable degree of development when one remembers the workers and teachers arsepeasant lads. Yon should see the set of ovula carved by some of my own boys for Lady Aberdeen last year. The expression of the owls' faces, as well as the execution, was excellent. Other features of our Irish industrial villages will be a re- plica of Donegal Castle, an old well, and other interesting Celtic xnemoriala. I be- lieve the Irish village will be successful; we shall certainly do our beat to make it so." A Rare Egg On Exhieistoa. A great rarity, in the shape of an aEpyor- nie egg, has been exhibited at the Zoologi- cal Society, London. •This huge egg is as nearly as possible a foot long, and the speci- men in question is valued at about $500, so that it rivals the egg of. the great auk, which fetches such fancy prices.

Little Ratio Smith, who some months lost both upper °limb& kern tha_effaab Ge burns received from a red-hot stove, owe yesterday given a pair of new arms. With Rev. Dr. F. N.

Within a few minutes she had gotten scrnewitish used to them, and used them in a manage' astonishing even to the maker. The arms are really wonderful pieces mechanism. Four months of time and our- eral hundreds of dollars have been expended in their construction. The maker first found a little girl, Mjss Katie Holcomb,of Ravens - worth, who is about Katie's build, a$ took - plaster moulds of her arms. FtSju these moulds a phster east was made d from that -a metal cast. Over this the lnminum armswere made. A single artificial muscle in the form of a cord and pulley is supplied each arm, operating by the motion of the shoulder muscles. -The fingers of each hand are so jointed that the hand may be fixed in any of the natural positions. The makes proposes when Katie hasgotten more ac- customed to the arum tointroduce another artificial lnnscle by which the fingers may • be fixed or extended. Etch hand is de- • tached et the wrist the right undovering a fixed fork and the bit a spoon. Katie tried these yesterday and showed that she would soon be able to feed herself.

The line of succession to the English throne can be readily traced back to very remote times, the accuracy with which the records of the royal family have been kept rendering the task comparatively easy. Queen Victoria is the niece of William IV., who was the brother of George IV., who was the son of George ILL, who was the grandson of George who was the son of George L George I. was a cousin of Queen Anne, who was the sieter-in-law of William IH., who %OA the eon -in-law of James IL, who was the son of Charles L, who was the son of the Scotch James L James, the first of 'the Stuarts, was the cousin of Elizabeth, who was the half-sister of Mary, who was the half-sister of Edward VI. who was the son of Henry VIA., who was the son Henry VII. This Henry was the cousin of his great livid, Richard 111., who was the uncle of Edward V. who was the soa of Edward IV., who the cousin of Henry VL who was son of Henry V., who was son of Henry IV., who was the cousin of Richard 11., who was the grand- son of Edward '111., who was son of Edward II., who was the son of Edward L Edward I. wasthe son of Henry 111., who was the son of "Magna Chart& " John, who was brother to Richard the Lion - Hearted, who was eon of Henry 41. Henry II. was the cousin of Stephen, his prede- cessor, who in turn was the cousin of Henry L, who was brother to William Rafts, a son of William the , Con- queror. Thus easily is the line of Vic- toria traced back to 1066, the time of the conquest. Bat it can he traced still further. Matilda, the wife of Henry L, was the daughter of Margaret, wife of Malcolm IIL, of Scotland. The father of Margaret was Prince Edward, who was the son of the Saxon King Edmund, who was the son of Ethelred, the eon of Edgar, the son of Edmund, the son of Edward the Elder, the son of Alfred the Great, the son of Ethel - wolf, the son of Egbert ; and thus is the royal line of England traced back with the utmost distinctiveness for more than 1,000 years. The Indians and the gievatoia Grim old Chief Standing Bear of the Sioux, Black Eagle, Lost Horse and several other wild Indians, composing a delegation from the plaine, were in San Francisco a short time since. When they made their first trip in a 10 story elevator they thought the building was on an upward flight to the happy hunting grounds, and they com- menced a ghost -dance with weird songs and wild war -whoops. When they were about half -way up they gasped with terrible con- tortions and placed their hands upon their belts. The elevator boy was so frightened at the actions of the Indians that he bolted from the cage at the upper floor and started to run down stairs with Black Eagle and the rest after him. They thought that was the proper thing to do and did not realize that the boy was frightened cut of his wits. The Indians, unused to stairs, fell in a heap and the boy escaped. It took an interpre- ter half a day to explain the situation to the Indians and induce them to put 'away their tomahawks. Open None Windows. An extraordinary fallacy is what a writer on sanitary subjects pronounces the dread of night air. He asks : What air can we breathe at night but night air ? The choice - is between pure night air from without and foul air from within. Most people prefer the latter—an unaccountable chic°. What will they say if it, is proved to bo true that fully one-half f all , he diseases we suffer are occasioned Sy p- 1 slesping with win- dows shut ? Aa opcis window most nights in the year can never hurt any one. In great cities night air is often the best and purest to be had in 24 hours. I could bet- ter understand slitting the windows in town during the day than duriag the night, for the sake of the sick. The absence of smoke, the quiet,all tend to make night the beat time for airing the patient. Always air your room, then, from the outside air if poseible. Windows are made to open, 4c'eors are made to shut—a truth which extremely difficult of apprehension. 'm must be aired •from without. Where Re Wanted It. Justice Stephen J. Field, of the United States Supreme Court, told me that while Cyrus was engaged in the struggles prelimi- nary to the laying of the first cable his wife said to hiei one day : • "Cyrus, I wish that cable of yours waisb the bottom of the Bea." - " My dear," he answered calmly, "that'. just where I wish it was."
