I r
I ar-
rived, of a business journey, at a village in,
Essex, viaich for the purposes of this story
I will call Amesford.
It wax a day of glorious sunshine, and
everything looked bright, happy, and gay.
Even the villagers seemed to be wearing
their best and gayest clothes, and there was
altogether such au air of festivity and holi-
day making abort the place that my first
iaquiry of the.matronly hostess of the inn ab
which 1 intended to stay was to the cause
of all this mirth and frivolity.
".Lord bless you, sir, don't you know? I
thought everybody .knew �that by this bine.
Why, it's Bessie Blossom's wedding day, 'of
course,' said the good-natured dame. t'Ah !
she's a perfect picture, she is ; and as good
as gold."
euro I hope Miss Blossom will be
happy," I said, reserving the variety of
puuswhich occurred .to me as practicable
for a more appreciative audience. "As I
am going to stay at Amesford till to -mor-
row," I added, "perhaps I may have a
chance of seeing the bride."
"You will have no time to lose then, sir,"
acid the good lady, as she directed me to
the room I was to occupy. "The wedding
is to be at eleven punctual, and it only
wants a quarter. I was just going to put
ray bonnet on when you came in, so you'll
exits% me now, sir, won't you? I wouldn't
miss tiregight for worlds. As. I live, there
go the bells,' and she bustled off to herown
particular sanctum, while I made my way
to the church whence I could hear the merry
chimes of the village bells,
It was a pretty wedding, though. the
church, full to the very porch, woo so hot
and stifling that I was clad to glib outside
and get a breath of fresh air in -the eburoh-
yard before the ceremony wee half over.
The bride was not so y$ung as I expected
to And her. After th'a gushing language of
my landlady I maturally looked to see a.

ture of her hair admirably. She walked
through the double row of eager spectators
ranged on each side of the path: leading from
the outer gate to the church porch with a
cardless grace, and what I thought was a

ly thoroughly award of.
I gathered that her father was a soldier,
retired one pension, her mother au ex -lady's
:Haid, and the bride -Groom the village school -
meter and leader of the choir at the parish
church,
It was probably such a wedding as the
Amesford folk aid not often get a chanceof
teeing, and they had turned out ea passe to
do honour talk,.
Presently the pealing of the organ and
the strains of the wedtting march floating
softly on the still air anuouucod the concha
cion of the service, and the people streamed
out of the building to take up their places
along the walk, .and be ready to pelt the
bride and bridegroom with flowers and rice
as they passed on their way to the carriage
standing in the road outside,
I had noticed, while I had been loitering
in the ehurchyard, a disreputable looking
fellow standing near the gate. There was
the nervai;s twitching about the mouth,
end the Isloodshat, watery Iook about the
ayes which. betokened days, and probably
eights, of drunkenness and dissipation. He
wore a battered top hat, a short frock coat
very muck damaged, and worn almost
threadbare down the front and about the
trios, a pair of dirty gray trousers, well
fringed around the bottoms, and standing
well away from the knees, and boots which
wore almost heelless, and gaped wide at the
toes, A dirty collar, tied round with a
soiled silk handkerchief, completed his vis-
ible attire. And yet, notwithstanding his
reedy, dilapidated appearance and rakish,
dissipated look, there was that hi his inane
her and in his talk, when presently he
spoke, which induced the belief that he had
teen better days.
He was looking through the railings with
L curiously eager gaze, and remained mo-
tionless until the people came trooping out
of church. Then a cruel smile played about
Ms mouth, and a glitter lighted up his
bleared eyes as he took up a position from
which be would face the bride as she came
through the porch. I was strangely inter-
ested in the man, 30 out of place amidst
that gay and festive throng and moved up
close to him.
A stir in the crowd, and the murmur of
many voices, heralded the appearance of
the newly -married couple. 1 noticed that
the man kept in the background till they
had readied the middle of the walk. Then
he suddenly started forward, and with a
weep of the hand, which drew all eyes upon
him, exclaimeda
"Look you, good people, that woman is
my wife ! Ha ! ha ! proud madam, you did
not dream of this."
Instantly the place was in an uproar, as
with a piercing screams the startled woman
fell back in a swoon. A score of strong,
hands seized upon the man who had launch-
ed this bolt from the bine, while hoarse
murmurs arose. "He's mad !"—" he's
drunk 1"--" duck him in the horsepond !"
resounded on every side, and the excited
rustics would have made short work of it
had I not spotted the village constable, and
seizing hinf by the arm dragged him to the
spot.
"I tell you she is my wife. If yon don't
believe me ask her," exclaimed the man,
as the crowd by whom he was being severe-
ly hustled fell -back to make way for the
constable.
Meanwhile the bride had been carried
into the vestry, on the table of which still
lay the register she had so recently signed.
The schoolmaster seemed but a poor tool,
and was too bewildered by the suddenness
of the attack to be capable of doing anything
but look helplessly. on.
The constable wantedto take the cause
of all this disturbance into custody as e rogue
and vagabond. I suggested that it might
be as well first to.hear 'whoa the officiating
clergyman had to say, and although he
seemed inclined to resent my interference,
I induced him at last to take the man round
to the vestry door, whither I accompanied
• them. Here a. conference took place. The
man, gave his name as William Chandler,
and rereated that the woman just married
was his lawful wife, adding that he owed
• her a grudge and meant to pay her out. He
didn't want the woman ; wouldn't live with
her in fact,. at any price. But she had com-
miltedbigamy, hadn't she, he inquired with
cool effrontery, and instead of locking him
up' the constable would be better doing his
duty if he locked her up.
The constable said he would take the risk
of putting Mr. Chandler under lock and key
first; he weent afraid the woman would
ane away.
I don't' think William Chandler had quite
reckoned upon Chit;, but he maintained a
sullen silence, and amidst the hooting and

,Later in lbs day I heard Bessie Blossom's.
story from my landlady, as mach of it, at
least, as was known to the latter.
Bessie Blossom had been brought up by
her permits with rather exalted views of life.
They had saved a. bit of money, and they
spent a portion of it in giving the .girl a
boarding -school education and training,
which the ex -lady's maid regarded as abso-
lutely essential to her daughter's happiness.
Then at eighteen the girl went to London as
assistant-goverz,ese in the family of a baron-
et, and there made the acquaintance of the
baronet's nephew, a young scapegrace, who
had never done any good for himself or any-
one else. lie was sufficiently attached to
the girl to marry her.
When the, affair came to the ears of Sir
Dixon Tryton, however, which was not until
the knot had been securely tied he
immediately stopped the allowance of
two hundred a year he had previously
made his nephew, and warned him
that not a penny piece more in any shape
or form need he look for or expect. Idle
and dissolute, William Chandler, thrown on
his own resources, speedily developed the
innate brutality of his nature, and vented
his rage and disappointment on his unoffend-
ing wife. She bore with his ill. treatment
until her cluld died. Then she reaolved to
leave him and go into service again, if pos-
sible, andshewas preparing to put this plan
Into execution, when news reached her that
in a drunken frolic with some boon compan-
ions, in the course of which they heal launch-
ed and gone to aea in a leaky boat, he had
been drowned.
Bessie Chandler returned to bei parents
nts
to take counsel with them as to her future,
for she was left penniless. She found her
motherstretohed on a bed of sickness. No-
thing was known in the village of the girl's
marriage, and it was supposed that she bad
returned home tonurse her mother, And
when, a few weeks later, the mother went
the way of all flesh, Bessie yielded to her
father's entreaties to remain with him.
That was a matter of two years ago.
Then came the wooing of 13ossze by the
school -master. She had become very much.
attached to him, and gladly accepted his
proposals. But she bad not enlightened
him as to that dark experience of hers, and
had forbidden her father to do so under a
threat of leaving him and never seeing him
again, which to the lonely old man was
(fnitesutfieient, So that the blow had fauna
the sabootmaster wholly unprepared, and
liad broken hitt down.
The question remained—what was to
be done, It was clear that Bessie
had committed an act of bigamy, which,
though done innanently and unwitting-
ly,
ly, none the less made her amenable
to the law, And during the evening
news was brought that Mrs. Chandler had
been arrested on a warrant, and was in the
custody of the inspector of police at the
neighboring town, where the Amesford con-
stable had reported the affair as soon as he
had disposed of (:handler.
The police -court at the town, where the
petty sessions for the division in which
Amesford was situated were held, was al-
most as full of Amesford folk the next day
as the church had been. There wasp, charge
entered against William Chandler that he
had besu brawling iii Amesford churchyard
and that he had no visible means of subsis-
tence, For these offences he was liable to
be sent to gaol for three months. But as he
would have to give evidence in the bigamy
case it was decided to take that first.
Although I had lost the grdater part of
the previous day, as far as business was con-
cerned, I was by this time sufficiently in-
terested in the matter to make ono of the
audience when the case was called on. On
being placed in the look, Bessie covered her
face with her hands, and burst into'a pas-
sionate burst of tears. The suddenness and
unexpected nature of the event, coming at
a time when it woman's nerves aro naturally
overstrung with excitement; then the arrest,
the thought of the disgrace and exposure,
and above all, as I afterwards heard from
her own lips, the dread that she might have
to live again with the man who had done
her such cruel wrong, had unnerved her.
But after that first outburst she sat calm
and quiet while the constable gave his evi-
dence, and the clergyman deposed as to the
service performed at Amesford Church the
previous day.
Then William Chandler stepped into the
witness box, and stated that he had been
rescued from the boat accident, but had
made no effort • to let his wife know he was
alive. He bad been very unfortunate, and
hearing that his wife was living atAmesford,
he had tramped his way to that village to
hear, as he entered it, that sho was to be
married again. He did' not deny that he
could have stopped the marriage ceremony
taking place had he liked, but added, amid.
the unrestrained hisses of the spectators in
court, that he " did not see why be should
have put himself out about her—she never
cared twopence for him after she lrnew he
had no money."
"And you say this woman is your lawful
wife?" asked the presiding magistrate.
"1 do," replied the roan.
" When and where were you married ?"
asked the magistrate's clerk.
`r At Chepstow Church, by license, on the
first of May, 1878," was the reply.
"You being then a bachelor?" was the
next question.
The witness hesitated a moment, then
answered " Yes."
"You lie, you villain," exclaimed a shrill
female voice at the rear of the court. "It
you're William Chandler, I'm your lawful
wife, for you married me first. Ain't one
enough?".
" Make way for that woman," said the
clerk. " Coupe forward."
By dint of much pushing and exertion the
woman edged her way through the excited
crowd till she stood by the side of the man
she claimed. She was a coarse -featured,
red-faced woman of middle age,yetwith the
remnants of kygone beauty.
rr Yes, it's lam, sure enough," she said,
when she had glanced at Chandler. "Like
mo, he isn't so handsome as he was. I was
a barmaid when he married ine--"
"It's false," interrupted the man, who
had utterly collapsed at the sound of the
woman's voice, bathed now recovered some
amount of self-possession. and assurance.
t'It was nob a legal ceremony."
"Oh, that's your game, is it," exclaimed.
the women, placing her arms akimbo, and
facing him wi th an expression which boded
ill for him. "But it won't do. I've got the
certificate safe enough, and have satisfied
myself it's all right end proper. No, fir.
'William Chandler, you're my husband, safe
enough, though you're nothing to be proud
of. I've had to keep myself since you ran
away and left me, but I mean to make you
do it now, you beauty!"
And so it turned out, An officer was sent
with the woman to fetch the marriage tier=
tificate, which was found to be in proper
form. Then came Mr. Chandler's turn to go

f don't know what became of him or his
wife, i But Bessiewasescorted back to
Amesford in triumph, restored to the arms
of the schoolmaster, and, I believe, "lived
happy' ever after."
THRUST INTO THE FIRE -BOX,
flow Engineer Scovet «et Rid. of the Nen
1lo Had Evan flown,
Engineer Smith told a story of how Mexi-
oan railway operators dodge responsibility..
"Jim Scovel,' he said, f' was running a
freight on the Central and had a crew of
conductor, fireman and two brakemen. One
night about a year ago Ji.n was running
through a big sheep and goat ranch, in the
State. of Durango, near Peralta, when he
saw two figures on the track near a switch.
Fie thought they were railroad men and
blew for them, but they seemed dazed, Jim
then saw they were greasers and he blew for
brakes and reversed, but the train was on a
down grade and there was no help for it.
The engine struck one of the men and killed
him outright; the other was shunted off
into the ditch, and when they hacked up he
was still living but unconscious. His head
was crushed, and it seemed every bone in
his body was broken. Of course the
magnitude of the affair impressed Jim
Scovel. Pie knew he was fiOU miles from
home. Fortunately it was a freight train
and the accident had occurred at
night in an isolated place, The train
crew got together around the tank of
the engine to discuss the situation. They
were in great doubt. Jim Scovel said the
wounded man ought to be taken to the next
station and he would take the eonsegnenees.
But the condactorsaid that would never do
--they would all bo jugged. finally a brake -
ma who w o h ad road somewhere onee upon it
time that in order to establish a charge of
murder it was necessary to have a corpus
delicti, suggested that it might not be a bad
idea to dispose of the corpse delicti there
and then. Ile looked significantly at the
fireman, and the latter, taking the hint,
pproceeded, to shovel coal into his furnace.
Jiro Scovel objected to this, but finally gave
way to the extent that the man, already
dead, should go into the furnace, though he
did not like to have the tire grates deluged
with greaser grease. Then came another
deliberation—as to the wounded roan. Ho
was yet unconscious, and his death inevit-
able, but he still breathed. Jim Scovel put
his ear to his heart, and said ; " Boys, it
will never do ; the man's alive." " Can't
help it." said the conductor, "he'll never
know anything again and we can't wait
here," The brakeman who bad discovered
Use corpus delicti theory agreed with the
conductor ; so did the other brakeman, and
the fireman signified his acquiescence an

i a in the. furnace had rats e
the steam to that pitch where it lifted the
safety valve and wag blowing off in away
to drown all discussion.
"'illove him in !" yelled somebody, and
in went the man, who was yet beathing."
Mr. Smith' says that Jim Scovel after-
ward told himthat for the next fifty miles
that eugino wouldn't make steam. She was
cranky and stubborn, and when they got to
the shops they had to take her apart and
clean her from piston head to fire -box. But
the corpus delicti was disposed of, and to
this day probably the governor of that
estate does not know of the incident.
'Whitewashing and Kalsomining.
When the spring comes there is alwaya
whitewashing, and often kalsomining to be
done, In the city, where one can Rend for a
professional' worker and put the whole busi-
ness in his hands at a low price, the matter
is easily attended to but in country districts
thisinust be attended to by the housewife her-
self, or be done by the few unakiltul hands
in her employ whose work will require her
superintendence. The first thing to be done
is to inspect the wails and see if they will
bear another coat over the ore which has
already been put on. If the wall has been
whitewashed and has begun to chip off, it
must be scraped before another coat is put
on, and this is quite a serious undertaking.
It means the removal of the old coats that
have been put on the wall. We believe
there are scrapers that come especially for
this purpose. It is better to remove every-
thing, furniture and all, out of the room to
be scraped, as the fine dust of the old lime
penetrates through everything. After the
room, has been thoroughly scraped, the new
whitewash can`be applied, though it is best
to fill in or mend the holes in the wall with
plaster of pads, wet with paste or water.
It seems to us that the very best and sweet-
est, whitewash is made by mixing ordinary
slack -lime in water, adding simply salt
enough to make it cling to the wall and
bluing enough to give it a pearl -white tint.
Ordinary laundry bluing will not do for
this purpose. What is known as Mason's
bluing is the very best to use, as it will go
further and do better wark and give better
effect than anything else.
It is an easy matter to apply whitewash,
and a good whitewash brush does not cost
over 75 cents. It may be found in any
country store. A kalsominer's brush is a
more expensive article, and a satisfactory
one may cost as much as $2.
A kalsomine wall which is to be re-kalso-
mined should be washed- It is impossible
to apply kalsomine to a wall that has been
whitewashed. It would look streaked and
queer. An ordinary rule for preparing
kalsomine calls for ton pounds of zinc -white,
mixed to a thick cream with warm water,
half ia, pound of dissolved glue, all stirred
together. The kalsomine must be applied
while it is warm, adding a little hot . water
when it is too thick to"spread easily. Old-
fashioned kalsominers always spread their
kalsomine on as painters usually spread
their oil paint, evenly in one direction, row
after row, and this is probably the easiest
way for one to do who is not expert.
It may be just as well for a beginner to
use common whitening, which is less ex-
pensive than zinc -white, and which is ap-
plied in exactly the same way. For side
walls a pound of glue instead of half a pound
should be used. This is necessary to pre-
vent the whitening rubbing off on the hands
and clothes when they are brought in con-
tact with it. This extra amount of glue will
prevent all trouble for is year or two, but as
there is nothing that will prevent old kal-
somine from rubbing off, it is always best to
paper or paint the sides of a room. Where
kalsomine is applied to a fresh, plastered
wall, it should be sized with glue and a
kalsomined wall which is to be papered
should be treated in the same way.

METEORIC BEAT.
An Aid in Making fp for the Sun's Ordin-
ary Expenditure.
I pointed out that when a shooting star
dashes iota our atmospher.), its course is at-
tended with au evolution of light cad beat
owing to its friction through the air. We
were thus able to account for the enormous
quantity of heat, or what was equivalent to
heat, that existed in virtue of the rapid mo-
tion of 'these Iittle bodies.
Of course, we see these meteors only at
the supreme moment of their dissolution
when they dash into our atosolere. It i
s,
however, impossible to doubt that there
must be uncounted shoals of meteors that
never collide with our earth.
It must necessarily happen that many of
the other great globes in our system mime,
like our globe, absorb multitudes of meteors
that they chance to encounter in their rout-
ings. The number of meteors that will be
gathered by a globe will be doubtless great.
er the larger and more massive be the globe,
and this for a double reason,
In the first place, the dimensions of the
net that the globe extends to entrap the
meteors will, of course, increase with its
size, but, in addition, the more vehement
will be its attraction and the greater will
be the manbor of the meteors that are
drawn into its extensive atmosphere.
Of course this reasoning will apply in a
special degree to the sun, We shall prob-
ably be correct in the assertion that for
every meteor that descends upon this earth
about 1,000,000 meteors will descend upon
the sun. As these objects plough their way
through the sun's atmosphere, Iight and
heat will be, of course, evolved.
It has been conjectured that the friction
of the meteors that are incessantly rushing
into the sun may produce light and beat n
sufficient quantities to aid in the mainten.
ance of the sates ordinary expenditure.
It has even been supposed that the quan-
tity of energy thus generated may supply
all that is wanted to explain the extraordin•
ary circumstance that from age to age no
visible decline has taken place in the inten-
sity of the solar radiation.
Here again is a question that we must
submit to calculation. We havo first to de-
termine the heat that could be generated by
a body of, let us say, a pound in weight
falling into the sun after being attracted
thither from an indefinitely great distance.
The result is not a little startling; it shows
us that such a body, in the course of its
friction through the sun's atmosphere, might
generate as much heat as could be produced
by the combustion of many times now its
weight of coal consumed under the moat
favorable conditions.
Shorthorns And Ayrahires•
There is a world of suggestiveness to the
friend of the Ayrshire and Shorthorn cow
in the last report of the Massachusetts
agricultural college. The milk of several
cows of different breeds was analyzed and
and the results are published in the report.
The Holstein milk was lowest m fats and
also in other solids and the milk was con-
siderably below standard. The Jersey milk
was highest in fats but next to the lowest in
other solids. The Ayrshire milk was next
to the highest in solids other than fat and,
next to the lowest in fat, presenting the
hest ratio between the component parts for
food purposes and still averaging 13.27 of
total solids. The Shorthorns made a good
showing in this respeoc but not quite equal
to the Ayrshires. The ratio of fats to other
solids in the Ayrshire milk was 1 to 24
in Shorthorns 1 to 2i.

Mass„ writes : Common.gratitude
pals me to acknowledge the great bene-
fits I have derived for my children from
the use of Ayer's most excellent Cherry
Pectoral. T had lost two dear children
from croup and consumption, and had
the. greatest fear of losing my only re
maining daughter and sou, as they were
delicate, happily, I find that by giving
thein Ayer's Cherry Pectoral, on the first
symptoms of throat or lung trouble, they
are relieved from danger, and are bet
coming robust, healthy children.” -
"In the winter of 1885 I took a bad
cold which, in spite of every known
remedy, grew worse, so that the family
physician considered me incurable, sup-
posing me to be in consumption. As a
last resort 1 tried Ayer's Cherry Pecto-
ral, and, in a short- time, the cure was
complete. Since then I have never been
without this medicine, I am fifty years
of age, weigh over x80 pounds, and at-
tribute my good health to the use of

"Last winterI contracted.severea
cold, which by repeated exposure, be-
came quite obstinate. I was much
troubled with hoarseness and bronchial.
irritation. After trying vialaus meth•
eines, without relief, I at list purchased
a bottle of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. On
taking this medicine, my cough ceased
almost immediately, and I have been
well ever since,"—Itev. Thos. I3, Rltssell,.
