and had adopted a headdrees not un-

was. This was a beret or flat cap,
woven of snow-white wool, and Hue -
mounted by a crimaon tassel spread
pub over the top. From beneath this
elegant coiffure her dark eyes flash-
ed and sparkled, while her luxuriant
chestnub curls fell down over her neck,
the alabaster fairness of which made
her white bead -dress look almost
tawny. Elther because the air, al-
though we were atilt) in the month of
September, was fresh upon the moun-
tains, or else because she was pretty
and a woman, and therefore we sorry
to' show hereelf t the best advantage,
she had twisted round her waist a very
long cashmere scarf, previously pass-
ing it twee one ah seder in the man-
ner of a ssvord-belt, the ends hang
ing down nearly to her stirrep; and
this gave something peculiarly plc
turesque, almost fantastical, to tie
whole aopearanee.
Upon the second day or my arrival
at the, baths of St. eauveur, in the
Pyrenees, I had fallen in with my aid
friend and eollege chum. Jack M`Der-
mot, who was taking his sister the
roued oft he French watering -places,
Dorree health had been delicate, the
faculty :had recotnmeaided the excur-
sion ; and Jaok, who dented upon his
only sister, hed dragged her away
from the gaieties of Lendon and
brought her off te the Pyrenees. M' -
Dermal was an exeellent fellow, neith-
er a wit hot a Solomon ; but a good-
hearted dog who had been much liked
at Trin. Coll., Dublin, where he had
thought very little, of hie studies, and
le good deal of his horses and dogs. An
Irishman, to be aura occasionally a

ceptible in les talk ; but from. this bis

England was, entirely free. Jack had

Miss Dora had twenty thouaa.nd teunds
from her mother. See had passed two
seasons In London ; and if vibe was not
already married, it was because not one
of the fifty atipirauts to her hand

I had been Absent from England for
nearly two years, on a Continental
tour ; and although I had beard much
of Miss M'Dermcit, I had never seen
her till her brother introduced me to
her at St. Sauveur. I had not known
her an hour, before I found myself in
a fair way to add another to the livit
of the poor moths who had Binged their
wings at the perilous light of her
beauty. When M'Dermot-learning
that, like themselves, I was on a de-
sultory sort of ramble. and had not
marked out any particular route -of-
fered me a Neat in their carriage, and
ueged me to accompany them, instead
of prudently flying from the danger,
I foolishly exposed myself to it, and lo I
what might have been anticipated came
to pass. Before I had been two days
in Dora's society, my doom was sealed;
I had ceased to belong to myself ; I

at B -.During that time. the spell
that bound me had been each day gain-
ing strength. As an intimate friend
of her brother, I was already, with
Dora. on the footing of an old acquain-
tance; she seemed well enough pleased
with my society, and chatted with me
willingly and familiarly; but in vain
did I watch for some slight indication,
a glance or an intonation. whence to
derive hope. None retch were percepti-
ble; nor could the most egregious cox-
comb have fanoied that they were. We
once or twice fell in with other ac-
quaintances of her s and her brother'e,
and with them she had just the same
frank, friendly manner, as with me.
I had not sufficient vanity, however,
to expect a w-oman, especially one so
much admired as Mies ArDermot. to
fall in love at first sight with my
humble personality. and I patiently
waited, trusting to time and assiduity
to advance my came.
Things were in this state, when one
morning. whilst taking, an early walk
to the spring& I ran up against an
Engliah friend. by name Walter Ash-
, ley. He was the son of a country gen-
tiernan of moderate fortune. at whose

;Delighted to meet Ashley, 1 dragged
hitu oft to the hotel, to introduce him
to DI'Dennot and hia sinter. As
friend of mine they gave him a cordial
;welcome. and we passed that day and
the following ones together. I soon,
however, I must confess, beget) to re-
pent a little having brought me
hanalsome frieed into the eociete of
iDore. tithe seemed better pleased with
him than I altogether liked ; nor could
I won,der at it. Walter Ashley was
exactly the mau to please a woman
of Dora's charainer. She was rather
a romantic turn. and about him there
wtui a dash of the chivalrous, well cal-
culated to captivate her imagination.
Although perfectly feminine. ahe was
an excellent horsewoman, and an ard-
ent adruirer of feats of addrene aud
courage, and she had heard cue toll her
brother of &Miley s perfection in 'such
matters. On las part, Ashley, like
every one else who saw her, was evi-
dently greatly struck- vvith her beauty
and faacination of Manner. I cannot
say that I was &aloud ; 1 had no
right to be so,Par Dora had Bev er given,
ine encouragement ; but I certainly
more than once regretted having in-
troduced a third person into what -
honest Jack M'Dermot counting, of
course. for nothing -had previously,
been a sort of tete-a-tete society. I
began to fear, ,that, thanks to myself,
my occupation waa gone, and Ashley
had got it.
It wan the fifth day after our meets
lag with Walter, and We had started
early in the morning upon ap excur-
sion to a neighboring lake, the scenery
around whioh, we were told, was par-
ticularly wild and beautiful. It was
situated on a piece of table -land on
the top of a mountain, which we could
see (ram the hotel window. The dis-
tance was barely ten miles, and the
road being rough and precipitous, Ma
Dermot, and myself, had chosen to
walk retest. than to risk our necks by
riding the broken-knee'd ponies teat
were offered to us. A sure-footed
mule, and Indifferent side-saddle, had
been procured for Mins M'llermot, and
wee attended by a wild -looking Bear -
nese boy, or goasoon, as her brother
called him, with u soared countenance,
and long, lank black hair hanging in
irregular shreds about hie face.
There is no seaeon more agreeable
in the Pyrenees than the month of Sep-
tember. People are very apt to expa-
tiate on the delights of autumn, ite
mellow beauty, peneive charms, and
suchlike. I confess that in a general
way 1 like the youth of the year bet-
ter than its deoline, and prefer the
bright green tints of spring, with the
suoamer prospective, to the melee-
oholy autumn, its russet hues and fall-
ing leaves; Its regrets for fine weath-
er past, and anticipations of bad to
eome. But if there be any place
where I should be tempted to reverse
my judgment, it would be in South-
ern Franee, and especially its western
and central portion. •The clear cloud-
less sky, the merate heat suoceed-
hag to the sultr nese, often overpow-
ering, of the summer months, the
magnificent vineyards and merry vint-
age -time, the noble groves of chest-
nut, clothing the lower slopes of the
mountains, the bright streams and
flower -spangled meadows of Bearn
and Languedoc, render no part of the
year more delightful in those coun-
tries than the months of Septe,mber
and Ootober.

INSURED FOR $10,000,000.
Thel Muhl to Re the Aggregate of Poll
ries fle the Prince,* of Wales' etre
A big insurance man said recently
in New York, that the Prince of Wales
was the heaviest risk of any parton
of the insurance business, and that his
death would cost England, German,
French and Ameriegu companies not.

"No other person carries 20 per
comapratively little of it is for.ithe
benefit of his family; perhaps not more
n 411,00,000. Some years ago large
policies were taken out by his credi-
Wrs, as seeurity for money loaned. If
lie should ever pay his debts they
would of course revert to him, and
migbt be carried for the benefit of his
family, but his premiums, like the pre-
mium on all of e royal families of
Europe, are very high -much higher
than thoee paid b private individuals
for the same amount of insurance. ,
"It is a curious Mot," eontinued the
insurance man, who spends a good deal
of his time in England, "that 52,060,-
000, or 53,000,000 of Insurance, perhaps
more than that, has been placed on
the life of the Prince of Wales as a
speculatiem by persons who do not
know him and have never had any re-
lations with him whatever. This
would not be possible under the in-
suranee laws of tit% tountry, but it
is allowed by some of the English com-
panies. Over there any man can se,
oure a policy on the life or a neigh -
bur, provided lie oan persuade the
neighbor to submit to a medical exam-
ination or find a oompany which has
recently had him examined. Thus
whom the Prinoe of Wales undergosie
an examination for insurance lots of
epeculatons apply to the game com-
pany for polimea on his life, or get
certified oopies of the report of the
medical examiner and use them with
other companies. It is pure specu-
lation, They pay a high premium, a
margin, so to speak, or, to put it in
another way, they book a wager with
the insurance ectrepanies that the
prince will die before the total
of their premiums eaceeda the
amount of the policy. Therefore
many persona would be financially
benefited if Albert Edward tthould drop
sudaenly one of these fine daya.
The prime is perfeetly( aware of thes
fact. He !mows very well what ad-
vantagea have been taken of his situ-
ation, but I do not suppoae it melees
any difference with his habites."

Lt. will soon be time to give especial
attention to the chryeanthenstms in-
tended for fall blootatiog. They must
not be allowed to become pot-bound, but
ahoald be gaited every three or four
weeka till from the two ineti pot in
which the eutting was set, the pleats
fiud themselves in a five or six-inela
Pot about the time the buds should
appear. The young plants must never
be allowed to dse out. Over waterlog
is a danger, but they should never sa-
fer for want of water. In potting, take
care to give nett soil, so as to induce
strong healthy geowth, and thus avoid
the uste of limed fertilizera later. Not
that the judicious use of this form of
fertilizer is not good practice but that
so few will be judicious. Their motto
seems to be " a little is good, a 41004
deal must be better," and the plants
are killed with kindness.
When the pinata get to be six or
eight Melte& high it is time to think
about their 'tape or form, If a plant
with two or tbree or four atems de,
aired, uip out the central bud on the
main stalk. which will cause it to
branch. Then aeleet the strongest
branchest of those that start and let
them grow, pinching off the others.
Keep the lateral branches pinched out
on the stalks you decide to grow, let-
ting all the etrengtb of the stalk go
to the trimmed bud, which will one
day develop a flower bud.
/1 you wish one large flower, allow
the plant to grow one stem only,
pinching out side branches as they
start.
The plants will have to ee staked as
they grow large. The growth should
not be rapid, but should be steady and
healthy. Too feat growing is sure to
result in bare stems, and the beauty of
a chryeantheenun lies in its foliage as
well as in Re flowers. The ideal plant
Is well foliaged, the stems being clad
with leaves right up to the flower's.
MEATS FOR SUMMER.
Hem Onaelet:-Fill a coffee oup with
bread crumbs and cover with milk. Beat
9 eggs vary light and mix lightly with
the soaked bread. Pepper and welt to
elate. Divide the mixture, cooking it
on two well greased griddles, like large
cakes. When well "set," sprinkle over
half of each omelet 1-4 cup very finely
chopped ham, cooked. Fold over and in
a minute take up on a hot diah, dot
over with butter and serve.
Tripe, Sceuthern Style. -One onion
cut fine and 000ked, a little butter,
when soft. but not colored, add, 111).
tripe cut in pieces one inch long by 1-4
inch wide; place these in the saucepan
with the onion and toss over the fire a
short time, to evaporate the moisture
and get well heated through, then
add half a can of tomatoes, drained
aornewhat, boil or simmer slowly until
reduced to a good body and bright
color; season with salt and a little
cayenne pepper. Dish up neatly,
Lamb Broth. -This ia so good it ought
to be put on the table once a week,
and it can be easily varied. Rice may
be peeked with it, or it may be thick-
ened and dumplings or croutons eerved
with it, or a few vegetables chopped
fine may be czoked with it. To make the
broth you will not need much but the
bonea, and these must oe put on in cold
water end simmered all forenoon,
When you have rtunoved the bone from
your mutton for the broth you can
then atuff the leg and roast it, thus
giving a still greater variety.
Pot Roate.-A pot roast of beef is
cheap and te my notion better than
any other sort. The seerat of a good
pot roast is to have only enough water
in the bottom of tbe pot to keep the
meat from sticking or scorching, and
to watch that the water does not boil
away, When done, make a brown
gravy and serve with a variety of
vegetables like a boiled dinner, only
thei way they are more digestible.

PICEA* HINTS.
First get the best and purest vine-
gar; white wine vinegar is the best. If
it cannot be procured, then u.se pure
eider vinegar. I Use glass jars. or else
unglazed earthen jans. Use eaucepans
lined with earthenware or porcelain to
boll your vinegar in, and wooden
knives and forkm in the preparation of
your pickles. Fill your jar three parts
with the artiele,s to be pickled and
then add vinegar up to the neck of the
jar.
Pickled Nasturtiuma.-Fill a atone
jar or glass with the beat cold vinegar;
takes the eeeds of the nasturtium after
the flower ban gone off. They ahould be
full grown. Pick off the stems and
put the ends into vinegar. They will
keep a year if covered closely. They
can be prepared with spices and boiling
vinegar If preferred.
Pickled Onione-Peel snaall silver
onions and put them in a pan of boil-
ing water. When they look Wear, take
them out with a strained ladle and
place on a dry cloth. When quite dry,
put them into a jar and cover with hot
apiced vinegar. When cold, weight them
down and oover deeply.
THE SAND PILE.
A common saying among the old-time
motaers when tbe rising generation is
found covered with the remains of a
glorious mud -pie feast is: " Never
mind, one must eat a peek of dirt in
one's lifetime anyhow."
This overwbelming desire on the part
of the youngetere to mix in the primal
elementa, of fire, air, earth and water,
is the source of Much anxiety to or-
der -loving mammas, who etill desire
that the little ones should have health-
ful exercise. A writer makes a dig-
gestion worth considering. She advises
by all means the purchase of a load

MARCH OF THE BUBONIC PLAGUE.

In regard to the recently reperted
danger that the bubonic plague would
reach Europe and England in ite march

date of July 24.
It does mot a,ppean that there is any
expectistion in Lontima that the bus
bole° plague, is liketil to extend much
beyond its present linits. This feeling
of security is due to the fact that all
proper precautions are being taken. It
is true that there are a considerable
number of eases, sind there is also aome
extension, yet the disposition to
spread in Alexandria does not appear

that all the conditions fori such ex-
tension are present in that city. It is
neported officially to the Colonial Of-
fice, that the bubonic plague, which has
been raging in Hoag Kong and Mau:H.-
6es, has extended to the French is-
land of, Reunion. As to Mauritium,
neturn for the week ended on
Thursday last shows that si3 cases of
plague occurred during the week, and
that 29 of these proveci fatal. No
fresh ease of plague has been reports
ed at Alexandria for the last four days.
In the earlier part of lest week, how-
ever, there were 6 new epees, 5 deaths
and 5 recoveries. The total number of
eases upi to tin present Is 74„ of which
32 have 'been fatal.

For a few minutes the Lord Qbaricel-

lerr lay back on the woolsack, comfort-
able, twiddling him arms. But sudden-
ly he sat Upright., The silent Peers
bent forward. .For coming threngn
the door facing the Throne was a lit-
tle process/go in radiant red. Fisst
came Black Rod. Behind him canais
the Deputy -Garter King -at -Arms. In
hie wake walked the spruce figure of
Lord Roberto of Kandebar, Then
came Lord Kiteteaer of Khartoum,
aline and staaight, aod ;seemed
very tall beside Lord Roberts -also in
Wag red robe% Re was in a quiver
of nervousness when he stood at the
door and bowed to the Lord Chancel-
.
lor. laie cheeks were colored to deep
purple. His eyes waa aflame with ex-
citement, and he fumbled with his pat-
e -et nobiiite, as though he didn't
know; whether to tear 11 up, of throw
it, away or give it to somebody. Be-
hind hen walked Baron cromer,
in red robes. Nobody spoke, no-
body moved, while this proceasion of
robes marched slowly up the floor.
Reaching the wooleaok Black Rod
stepped on one side; Garter King -ate
Arme stepped en the other. Lord
Kitchener dropped upon bis left knee,
and with both /iambi held out his
PATE/NT OF NOBILITY.
The Lord Chancellor took it, elightly
unrolled, it. and let loose the blue rib -
bone ettaglied, glanced at it, and hand-
ed it hack. Lord Kitchener bowed low
on receiving his patent, and the Lord
Chancellor raided his three -cornered
hat 'two inches above we wig. 'rhea
Bleale Rod led toe way to the Clerk's
table, end Lord Kitchener walked be-
tween hie introdueera-Lord Roberts,
the soldier, and Lord Cromer, the ad-
ministrator. The Clerk in bobwig ea -
peeved the patent and began to read it
er end of the Hou.se facing the throne,
Black Rod and Garter Hing -at -Arms
fell out of the proceseion. The three
Peers ascended the gangway, and in
the furthest canner of the back seat
they sat down, Lord Kitchener in the
middle. They put on their hate. Sil-
ence prevailed. The three rose togeth-
er ; automaticaley they all raised their
cocked hats, and bowed with a long
sweep. Aa Lord Kitchener passed the
wookrack on his way to tthe hall be-
hind the throne, the Lord Chancellor
pushed out his hand and grasped that
of the hero and shook it warmly. He
cleaner was covered with cenfusion, but
he moiled. These owt into the hall he
wesat. In two minutea Lord Hitehener
and Lord Roberts were back in the
chamber. nub their •bright robes had
gone. They were in ordinary frock

EXTRACTS FROM THE REPORT. I
.11t will be seen from the above Fig-
ures that tbe progress of the company
goes on uninterruptecUy. The new
policiess issued, and ehe amounts as-
sured under them, exceed those of any
previous year.
The amount received for the pur-
abase pf annuities is aloe greater than
ever previously reported. The sums
paidl in death claims are considerably
in excess of the corresponding amounts
tor the previous year, but the death
rates are still well within the expecta-
tions on which the several tables of
premiums are based..
Nietwithetamiing this greater outgo,
the total funds have largely increased
eating the year, and now aggregate
oonaiderably more than 844,500,00.
While not neglecting the important
laome connections, the consolidation of
tbe agencies outside the United King-
dom goes on steadily, and the com-
pany are beginning to reap the fruits
of the policy of eareful extensiou which
they have been working out steadily
for many yeara past.
In view of the company's expansion
and of the large amount of work -both
responsible and routine - now con-
sequently falling upon the rnembers of
the board at the head office, the direc-
tors think it desirable to increase the
numbers on the board through the ad-
dition of another member.
The company have now already
passed the middle period towards an-
other investigation and division of pro-
fits, and, although the rate of interest
on the invested funds has necessarily
fallen of late years -a circumstance
which cannot be without its effect -the
belied have, thus far, every reason to
hope that the final results of the quin-
quennium will be satisfactory to all
concerned.
The rebuilding of the company's preei
mises in Edinburgh is progressing sat-
isfactorily, and the board hope that r
the next annual general meeting of
the oompany may be beid within the
board room of the new office.
In moving the adoption of the report, t
which was unanimously carried, the t
Chairman, Mr. A.R.C. Pitman, said it
was very gratifying to know that the
new business of the year had, for the a
firat time in the history of the com-
pany, exceeded ten millions of dollars, • a
and from year to year it was growing, 1 d
showing no signs of standing still. He
also referred to the very satisfactory
and sound condition of the compttny,
which gave it a very high standing,
while Its investments were of the saf-
est character.
The appointment of Mr. William
Younger as an additional director was
approved of.

THE SORROWFUL TREE.

When the Sun uisco
There Le a tree in Persia to which
the name, "The Seerowful Tree," is
given. Perhaps because it blooms enly
in 'the evening. .
,When the first star appears in the
heavens, the first bud of the Sorrowful
Tree open.s, end as the shades of night
advaince and the stars thickly stud the
sky, the buds continue gradually open-
ing until the whole tree look,s like one
immense white flower. , On the ap-
proach of dawn, when ebe brilliancy
of the stars gradually fades in the
light a day, the Sorrowful Tree closes
its Cowers, and ere the sun is fully
retell net a single blossom is visible.
A Sheet of flower dust, as white as
snow, covers the ground around the
foot, of the tree, which seems blighted
and wiblyered during the day, while,
hlowever, it Ls actively prepartng for
the meet nocturnal festival. The fra-
ance of the blossoms is like that of
the evening primrose.

It is oftenoll the little things that
constitute the wide difference between
success and failure. Some men, earli-

map the opportunities that if accepted'
