This might be accounted for by the fact of his• lowing at late years -that is, ever since Ills retirement from trade -- taken lovingly to the euittive of mau- golds and the breeding of &mew But, however ri,ght about him, Miss Trevattion's progncetications with 're- gard to the others wore entirely wrong. Mrs, Younge, ear from being fat, red and cookish, was remarkable slight, fragile and very lady -like in appearance. Her • daughter, Miss Rachel, resembled her ntother strong- ly, though lacking her gentle expres- sion and the inlet eir 'of self-poesee- sion that sat so pleasantly on her. -Indeed, the general impreasion con- veyed to' the observant stranger by the firs.t glance from Mise Younge'e eyes was that her temper might be better than it. appeared to be, or, as Eddie very forcibly, not to ally elegantlY, expreseed. it, "The man who gets her v Ill eatth a Tartar, and 410 mistakee' She was pretty, though, for all that, having good dyes, and altogether re- lined features, -and wouhl pass in a leirutose\u'dpLeth.yingp.robably without over - But in her description of Denzil, Miss Trevanion had been very much at fault indeed. • Anyone more unlike a "boor" could not well be Imagined. Denzil Younge was 'a very Wendt:nem young mao, Tall, fair and dletin- guished-looking, with juse the faintest resemblance to his mother, he might have taken lits place with honors in any society in Christendom. He wore ueither beard nor whiskers, simply a heavy golden moustache, which cov- ered, bue scarcely concealed, the almost feminine sweetness of his mouth. Perhape his fate, on the whole, would have been almost too beautiful for a man, had not certain expres- sion ot firmnesS and -determination tho lower jaw suggeeted an amount of will lurking beneath his calM ex- terior which entirely prevented any suepicion a weakness in his character.

Mies Trevadion raised her head half an inch higher, and went through her Inclinations to.the others with a, mix- ture of elide and extreme'.' hauteur that made her appear avert more than commonly lovely, and caused Denzil Young/3 to lose his place in the languid conversatiou he had been holding with Eddie Trevanion. She had not so much as deigned to raise her eyes when bowing to him, so he had been fully at 'liberty to make free use Of his own, and he decided; without hes- itation, that nothing in all the Wide earth, could be mere exquisite than this .girl who, he could not fail -to see, treated them all with open.cold- ness, lie took her in to dinner preseutlY, but not until soup had been removed did Miss Trevanion think it worth her while to 'look up and disecrver, what style of man sat beside her. Glancing then suddenly and supercill- aesly at bim, she found that he was the yery handsomest fellow she had ever seen-well-bred-lOoking, too, and, in- appearance at least, juet such. a one as she had been unnamed to go down to dinner with even in the very best houses. 13ut then had she 'not frequently heard her father say that the largeat amount of good looks was always to be met with in the loWar classes? So she coneidered the Younges, and, therefore, according to that theory, this man's perfect fea- tures need not surprise her. Doubt- less, when Ile opened his lips, his breeding would proclaim iteelf. • Ile was staring across the table now to where Mabel sat, laughing and con- versing merrily with old Younge, and seemed slightly amused with the girl's gayety. Was he going to fall in love with, Mab? Very likely, she thought, It would be just the very,thing for an aspiring cotton man to do -to ger and lose his heart ambitiously to their beautiful "queen." Then. Della' turned to her and said: "You were not in tome this season, Miss Trevanion?" "No; mamma. did not care • to go," she answered, reddening a little at the Pious fib, and feeling intensely wroth. ful, as she earne to the hurried con- clusion that he had heard all about their straitened eircemstances, and had asked the queetion luiowing she cOuld not have gone there bad her mo- ther wished it ever so much. This was unjust; but her pride and dislike had brought her to 'this -that she, the open-minded Mildred, could feel un- generously toward this stranger, who - under the circumstances could by no pcosibiltty have learned anything' about her father's affairs. • - • "1 do not think you missed muCh."

It is described as resembling a piece of blue bottle glass worn round and smooth by attrition and is stated to be the cornflower blue Variety, and to have a good, velvety lustre., This gem was probably trammorted to the Like Okoboli region by ice during the glacial period along with a large var- iety of other minerals and rocke, and its original laome can only be sur- mised.

The red shirt. destined to 'become so famous a symbol through Europe, was not a first adopted by Garibaldi for any fantastic or spectacular reason, The Eng- lish Admiral Ingram says that the red shirt had its origin In stern necessity and that its adoption was caused by the need of clothing as economically as possible the legion that Garibaldi had raised for the liberation of Italy. An offer was n ado bY a tradesman to supply at a re- duced price a large stock of red woollen shirts. This offer was eagerly closed on. Btfore many years had passed the red shirt became the syznbol not merely Of the legion, but of the new spirit work- ing or the liberation of Italy.

Accidents began to occur more and more frequently in the streeto. Consequently, says "Das Buclt Fur Alle," the king be- sought the minister •of pollee to do soraething, since the livee of pedes- trians .were constantly in danger. "I will do whatever is in my' pow- er," replied the police minister. "Your majesty deeires that these accidents cease eutirely"?" The king replied, "Certainly." The next day -there appeared a royal ordinance that ordered that in the fu- ture ladles undee tliirty years of age should not drive ehoises through the streets of Parts. That seems a mild restriction, but it is said that scarcely a woman from that time en drove her own chaise. The ponce mihieter knew that few women would care to ad- vertise the fact that they were over thirty and that the rest would prob- ably be too old to drive anyway. • EAT AK 1.
