to a geutleman: who had accompanied her
into the box, and accepted his assistance in-

" Good evening, Redwood,". said the
gentleman.
" Good evening, Major" said Redwood.
Major Caustoa was a middle-aged gentle-
man, with a long tawny moustache, which
he twisted and twisted when his hands were
not otherwise employed. The two men
eyed each other in difering fashion, Red-
wood warily, the Major cooly and uncon-
cernedly. Honoria glanced at them, and
smiled
You are late, Honoria," said Redwood,
" Am I ?" said Honoria, and stepped to
the front of the box. The stage was vacant
at this moment, and the superb beauty of
the notorious woman drew everybody's eyes
upon her.
There's'Onoria," said Bill in the gai-
lery.
" Why, you said she'd be a blare of dy-
mens," cried the disappointed woman.
There was not a jewel upon Honoria.
She was dressed iu black ; straight, upright,
and regally beautiful, she stood in full view
of the house, perfectly unmoved and self-
possessed. A group of artists in a corner
of the stalls scanned her admiringly.
"Cleopat-a," said one.
"Zenobia," said the second.
"The 'elagdaleu," said the third,
"Which do you think is the most inter-
esting study?" asked the author of the
editor.
"The story of Honoria," said the editor,
"shouldprove, from the cradle to the grave,
to be ono of the most remarkable of the age."
"Don't talk of the grove," said the
soldier, "in connection with that lovely
creature." Ile turned red. There was
dangerous magnetism in Honoria, and her
eyes were turned in his direction.
"Are you acquainted with her history?"
asked the author.
" Something of it," replied the editor,
"I should muolt like to hear it."
"Not here and now. Later on I will re-
late what I know. In some respects it is
singular, in others common enough ; but it
premises developments."
" One can never foretell," remarked the
doctor, "how these women will end,"
" As a rule," said the author, "they sud-
denly disappear, and, after a torpid period,
emerge as elderly belletgiris,"
" Or as lodging -house keepers," suggest-
ed the doctor.
" That will not be Konoria's fate," said
the editor. "She will not degenerate into

balletgirl,livlo" upon past glories. Have

"That requires early training, in whioh
respect Iloetoria is deficient. She is really
remarkably beautiful. Nor is it a spring
beauty which perishes with the season. It
she is careful of herself, her summer and
winter will be quite as attractive."
"You are all talking heresy," interposed
the soldier warmly. "I elect myself her
champion. She is as good as she is beautiful,"
The others exchanged a significant smile,
which did not escape the soldier's observa-
tion. "Where aro diamonds found," he ask-

editor.

Tho wintry air looms full of snow,
The leaden clouds are hanging low,
The frozen= ground
Reverberates beneath your tread,
The bare boughs creak above your head—
A dismal sound,
November now is almost here—
November, chill, and dark, and drear—
And soon the snow

And into every cranny sift,
While fierce. wends blow.
Well, never mind : the glowing cote
Within the grate will cheer your soul,
And send a thrill
Of joy all through you till dismay
Ensues at thought of how you'll pay

TELE Wi ONDERFUI4 METAL
A. Iloat Built or Aluminum Floating ou
Fair Zurich's Waters..
A gentleman who: has watched with inter -
eat the improvements and progress made
within the past three or four years in the
manufacture of the wonderful metal now
known in the new dictionaries; es aluminum,
made an interesting statement to a Wash-
ington Poet representative
'I have just returned from a trip to Ger-
many and Switzerland," saidhe, " and while
in the latter country I witnessed a sight
which was of itself sufficient to pay me for
my journey. It was nothing less than the
launching of the first boat ever built of
aluminum. This took piece some weeks ago
ou Lake Zurich, a body of water which' has
become celebrated as a birthplace of new de-
partures in ship -building, It was there that
the first naphtha launch ever constructed
made its maiden trip and also where thefirst
successful electric boat was lannehed. But
this last achievement, the successful trial of
the first boat in the world ever buil entire
ly of aluminum, will make Lake Zurich
jnstiyfamous. Titin boat is not a large af-
fair, It resembles in appearance and size
the small naphtha launch, and is fact,
its motive power is an engine of this
kind, which has an improved device
whereby the flame can be maintained
while the boat is not in motion. At a
distance the boat has no unusual appearance.
It is only on near approaoh and close op-
proaoh and close examination that a person
would notice that the boat was not painted
gray, but was made of a white, shining
metal, Inside every thing has this silver -
white color, for even the seats, gunwales.
and handrails are made of this beautiful and
untarnishable metal. Whatever a polish is
given the surface looks like pure silver.
Not only are the ribs and plates made of
aluminum, but the castiuga of the engine,
the rudder, and even the tiller ropes are
made of this wonderful metal. The entire
amount of aluminum used is little less than
400 pounds, while the total weight of the
boat, including the wood, iron and copper
parts, is 970 pounds. The launch will hold
from eight to twelve people, One of venal
size built of wood and iron would weigh
from 1,400 to 1,700 pounds. The plates form-
ing the shell of the Iaunch are only half as
thick as the iron plates need cm other.

in other boats of -Elie same class,

continued the speaker, "about the posaibili.
ties to be attained by building ships of this
metal, but It seems to have fallen to the lot
of several euterprisiug people of Switzer-
land to fi-st pat ono of these theories tate
practice. I hope the good work will soon';
be continued on this side of the ocean.

Rag a.trpet .11 adopted as a kind of
art work. Spe.tmnns of domestic weaving
have been carried home by traveling Euglish
ladies with Navajo blankets, Arizona pottery
and other curios, and notable Eoglish house-
keepers have taken to using their woolen
savings in this way. Itgoes by the name of
American work, and a well -made mat isnot
disdained for the nursery, smoking room or
re any lady's chamber. But under clever
hands and taste it turns out very different
'from the ordinary rag carpet with its stiff
bars and atripes.
Cut cloth or flannel in strips three-fourths
of an inch wide clear through the piece.
Sew these by the ends togethertillyou have
a pound, which snakes a large ball. Fine
heavy cloth of men's wear is cut half an inch
wide, and the finer the strips the more they
make in weaving. A pound and a quarter
ball is allowed to make a yard of carpet a
yard wide. Allow two or throe yards of
bright red, green or yellow for every six or
more of dark color, and you will have un-
even berr'ings of gay color, dark and gravely
pleasing to the eye. Mix bright color with
every yard of dark stripes and the result is a
mottled ground. If you have enough of any
rich .color, you may have a carpet or mat
with mottled center and borders of, deep
blue black and deep yellow or red, black
and orange. The strips can be dyed bronze
peacock, deep rod or any strong color after
they are sewed together.
After the carpet is woven you may sew
the breadths together with aningrain bor-
der, and have a mat which is nearly aide-
struetible, for 'there ie no end to the wear of
rag carpet in any generation. No one
seeing such a mat for the first time would
dream of classing it with the hum -drum rag
carpets of old. The smooth basket work
surface, the rich colors vie with those of
foreign mats, and in point of taste, a well-
chosen, home-made mat will, please better
than the crude red and green Turkish rugs
which, in fact,are the rag carpets of peasant
homes in the East.

Here isan incident from the South
Mississippi, written in April, ago,
just after the Grippe had visited that
country, " I ani a fernier, one of
those who have to rise early and
work late. At the beginning of last
Winter I was ona trip to the City
of Vicksburg, Miss. ,where I got well
drenched in a shower of rain a, I
went hone and wassoon after seized
with a. dry, hacking cough. This
grew worse every day, until 7 had
to seek relief. I consulted Dr. Dixon
who has since died, and he told me
to geta bottle of Boschee's German
Syrup. s Meantime say cough grew
worse and vv Disc and then the Grippe
carne along and I caught that also
very severely. My condition then
compelled me to do something.. I
got two bottles of German Syrup. I
began using them, and before taking
much of the second bottle, I was
entirely clear of the Cough that lied
hung to me so long, the Grippe, and
all its bad effects. I felt tip-top and
have feltiethat way ever since.
