Ev- erything looked cold, cheerless, corn- fortleas. The traces of tears were still upon her mother's cheeks, and even as Mildred gazed a heavy drop fell up, on her lap. "Mamma, be comforted," cried Mil- dred, coming suddenly forward from where she had been standing, unnotic- ed, in the shadow of the door; "I have done what you wished me to dos - have got the money for you." Lady Caroline started and turned toward her, so did Sir George. "Mildred, what do YOU mean?" he exclaimed. "The day after to -morrow you shall have the fifteen thousand pounds," she said; "and I -I am engaged to be married to Lord Lyndon." • • Her mother rose, flushed and trium- phant. Here indeed was a match wor- thy of her darling. All recollection of the relief to be gained through the promised money faded In comparison With this wonderful piece of news. At last Mildred had made her choice, and It was a, most wise one. "Oh, Mildred, is it true? How glad I eta!" she began. "I think—" But the girl put up her hands to her ears and recoiled from her touch. "Not now -not note!" she exclaim- ed, almost roughly. How could she endure congratula- tions and good wishes aboat -what seemed to her the cruelest event in all her life? How submit to question- ings and kindly probings, when he felt her heart was breaking? Surely in such a case congratulations were a mockery. She left them, and, hurrying to her own room, strove hard to quiet the thoughts that raged within her; while they, remaining behind, asked each, other in whispers how it had all hap- pened, and half feared to believe the welcome news was true. But Lady Caroline's heart emote her when she rernerabered the look in Mil- dred's eyes when they had met hers - the great unhaPPY light that had shown in them, revealing so much that she would gladly have kept un- told.

An eminent medical writer has said that "neuralgia is the cry of starved nerves-. for better blood." The oho great symptom of this trouble is pain, fierce, stabbing pain, that almost drivethe sufferer frantic. The one cause is poor blood; the only cure is - to enrich the blood. Heat applied to the inflamed nerve ,will give relief, but does not cure. Dr. Williams' Pink Pille furnish the blood all the. needed °let -lents; and the blood conveys them to the nerves. The only way of get- ting food or medicine to the nerves is through the blood, and the only way to enrich the blood is through a fair use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. In this way neuralgia, sCiatica and other nerve disorders are promptly cured, and the whole syetem benefited and strengthened. Mrs. M. Gleason, IL R. No. 1, Uxbridge Out., who was a great sufferer from neuralgia, says: "I suf- fered intensely from neuralgia for four years. My blood was thin. and I was completely run dovne I suffered in- tense pain all the time. At .lifferent times I consulted three doctors, but their treatment did no more than give me temporary relief. Then I tried diffeeent medicines, but the result evas the same -they seemed no good in my case. I was growing steadily worse, and filially could not leave the house nor do a bit of work.

At the time when Irish glass wae at its best, from the decorative point, facetted cuttlegs largely preponder- ated. The chief -centre of the facetted induetry was Waterford, but Cork, Belfast, Dublin, Londonderry, Dun- dalk and Carrickfergus-- in the order named -all contributed, some of the districts having decorating plants only. A peculiarity of the Dublin cen- tre was the manufacture of the blue - glass linings so frequently seen in the perforated, silverware baskets, sugars and creme, and the table salt -hold- ers of the Queen Anne and Georgian period styles. Cork aleo had its own specialty in its combination of en- graving and gilding combined with the facetted cuttings. Engraving, by the copper wheel process, was mainlY used upon glass for theodinner table, while the •gilding was applied to ale ticies for milady's &easing table, cologne battles, powder boxes, brush, and pin trays. It is these combina- tions in treatment that the cut glass or to -day resembles the work of other days long past. The glass -cutter now Is doing the work of the engraver of Olden times, and by using stone in- stead of copper wheels in completing the double -motive design, brings his work into the glass-eutting class. A 'feature common to both periods is the chequeeing which covers the facet of the hobnail formed by the interlaced lines of the cutting.

The trained musician has little trou- ble in keeping his piano in excellent tune. I3ut the amateur pianist who just plays litle scratches of this and that Soon fh.ds that some of the keys are in much better tune than others, ' The fault is not always that of the' pi- ano tuner, nor is it always due to the fact that the piano has been exposed to dampness or left in a strong draft af air. Usually it is because the amateur player doesn't use every key when he plays, The musician who plays merely for his own benefit and who la far from being a skilled pianist discovers that he plays better in some one key, and consequently te selects all his music from that key. rhe true musician pays all keys and has no preference for any particular one. The skilled musician runs hls fingers ligiAly over the whole keyboard before starting any piece, thus bringing all the notes into action. But the clumsy amateur usually starts without the slight- est pretense of 0. prelude or calling forth the different tones of the Mono. No pl- sno can be expected to keep long in per- fect tune unless every key is used about as much as every other key. The well /redulated instrument is the one whose notes all ace equal amount of service. The piano like the voice, must be even- ly used to bq perfect. Any one who talks in a high pitched voice and only cr.ils forth the high tones of his throat cannot expect to talk in a low, well mod- ulated voice when he never uses the low, aGft Strains. A cheap piano -well tak- en care of will sound better if played by a musician who uses all the keys than a higher priced one which is only allowed to Produce -the tones of the single key which the amateur player can read best.
