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. young girl o Aibout eighteen, freak and beautiful, saw instead a grave, lady -like Person, z n s9 age would certainly n of be less t nsix-and-twenty, ofinedium height, we- ring a creamy silk dress, a long tulle il, and a wreath of flowers which, if not range blossoms, suited the colour and tex- 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 proud, slightly -contemptuous curl of the Up. she seemed to me, by birth or education, to be rather above the average cut of thecod people of Amesford—a fact she was evident. 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 hust _..lin of the .crowd as conveyed to the round, toll -house looking structure which served as the village lock-up. ,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 Children_ Cry for Pitcher's Castoria into the dock ona charge of bigamy, and he was dully committed for trial. 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 shoveling in, more Goal. Meantime the myb wlow salready d 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. Too. Much Frivolity.

SORE OF THE EBW INVENTIONS, A recently invented lampwic,r is made up a l of film of Cotton slivers or p fibres, just as they are arranged previous to being twisted to make thread. They are inclosed in a covering of thin material to give form to the wick, A novel invention is a bran packer for the nae of millers who do it large export business and to whom economy of space is desirable, The apparatus consists of an auger working in the funnel that fills the bag, It constantly revolves, at the same time having an up and down motion. On. the down stroke it forces the bran into the sack, peeking it solidly at the same time. Two California inventors have devised a toll-collectingapparatus for telephone. It consists of the usual coin -in -the slot device, with the addition of a clock -work apparatus that automatically cuts out the telephone when the time for the talk has expired. A new instrument that possesses value and novelty is a speculum for examining horses' mouths. It is the invention of an Illinois man, and consists of a bit broad enough to keep the horse's mouth Open and an arrangement of reflectors to determine easily the condition of the -throat and .mouth. A Massachusetts man has invented a re- cording device for scales. Upon a roller is placed a piece of paper upon which a mark- er records the weighings of the scales as de- sired. An Ohio man has devised a crib attach- ment for beds consisting of a stout wire frame -work forming the bottom, back and two ends. This is placed on a Y-shaped support fastened to the floor. The open side of the crib is toward the bed and the whole arran gement is very convenient while it is easily removable from its sup port. A San Francisco woman has invented a carving brace to bold fowls in place, while they are undergoing the process of carving. The device is clamped to the edge of the plate, and an adjustable fork extends at right angles from it, firmly holding the fowl in place, The ha mc st inexperienced c rver can hack away at an old bean-yard favorite without fear of its suddenly seeking the floor. 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.
