C11AI''1-Eri IV. 1► ems e;erly on a hot August alter - noon when 1 drove down to meet 'Porn t,nd his friend; feeling in the best of t,plt•.ts. It was on Cho way to the stu- teen that I began to wonder 11 the thing would v t k out as 1 wished---wheth. r Tom might not think Augusta a very beautiful and bewitching cousin, and young; Garrod take a fancy to my en- trancing little Wine*, and both round on mo when the truth came out. Hith- erto 1 had been absorbed in the practical and technical difficulties thut had met us at the outset --for example, tete in- struction of the Servants, wlto had so far to be taken into our plans. My Inn is an old soldier, and merely sa- luted; but the housekeeper is Calvinis- tic, and spoke of deviation from the incased Ter-uth; so we gave her a fort- night's holiday to go and bury a rela- tive. Really, \Vinnifred and Miss Ark- wright had kept so constantly by me that it was not till 1 was bowling along tete solitary and familiar road between the birches that I had any time for pri- vate reflection. However, it was too late now. I had given my word -the word of a M'Nab. Besides, it promised rare sport. I left the groom on the Luggage, and Tom took the reins, and young Garrod got up behind us. Tom seemed a bit .eft color, 1 thought. "1 say, sir," were almost his first words, "1 suppose neither of them knows anything about us?" "Neither of them?" 'My cousin and that friend of hers." "Ohl Well, Tom, a man's chances usually rest on the woman's ignorance f his real character, if that's what you mean." "That Is not what I mean, however, Uncle Ben. and your turning it off in tilts way shows nye that our suspicions et you are about true. You have gone rind blabbed to them." "'four, you aro disrespectful!" Tom chuckled; I do not know at what. Then he grew grave again. "But it is a bit too bad, you know, If you have. It makes Garrod and me in a blue funk about meeting theme' Garrod tw:s'ec1 round in the buck Feat, and brought, his head close to trey t:houlder and to Tom's eltow. "Really, sir," he put in, "in spite of y:ur hospitality -E trust say I --if hr knows 1 answer to the description, and guesses 1 --you must see it is deuced awk- ward! 1 can face u good deal; but ct uld not face" --- "Young men," I said judicially, "there rite two alternatives." They both laten- t' "Either you can each go straight to his owit Loom, and, by remaining there during your entire visit to Ard- r;Ironnch. avoid ever meeting the ladies of my household-" "Oh, hold on, Uncle Tien'. What Mout thQ birds? No woman i5 worth - "And the other alternative?" asked Garrod. "You can tee he, and he hire!" I said quickly. "You mean----" "\VIty, he be !►int and him he, of course. 1t is quite simple." Torn looked down at me anxiously. "Poor old chap!' he stuttered; "dear oat chap! Touch of sun, eels?" ilut Garrod, with his superior force t f irt'elleet, caught on. 1 am riot sure to ihis day if I quite meant thept to un- kr.stand. Anyhow. in two Moments 1 felt like the boo who in idle mischief When I opened niy eyes he too was strikes a match in a hay -loft, and sud- • tierlly fleas the whole place ablaze.

Presently 1 got up with the tirrn deter- mination to go down and manfully play my purl, \Vhen 1 got to the door 1 lucked it, and relrned to the arm -chair. In about a couple of hours the dressing - gong bounded., and, as by habil, 1 di- vested myself of my coat. Three minutes Icier my man knocked at the door. I !:new his step, and admitted hire. 'Sr!" he exclaimed. petrified, staring at rne. I glanced down, and wos amazed tee diecover I was clothed In my pajamas. 1 am ready to swear it must have been pure absence of mind that had led me to undress for the night instead of dressing for dinner; but, a» it seemed a pity to waste a direct hint from the gods, 1 acted on it. "1 feel --indisposed," I explained. "You can excuse nue to the ladies and gentle- men downstairs, and bring me up food meed rome of the white port." But in live minutes Winnie was with me -Winnie radiantly lovely In a white dinner -frock like a filet of mist in nr onlight. -Winnie with sparkling eyes arid geranium -pink cheeks. "Are you ill, Uncle Ben?" she cried breathlessly. 1 leant back on the pillows that prop- ped me, adjusted the tasselled point of Try nightcap, and folded my hands de- lilwrately on the coverlet. "No, illy dear," I answered her. "I rejeoeoe to say that I ani in the best of health; but, having no one handy with whore to exchange identity', 1 have re - staved to avoid the situation by adopt-' ir,g the other and less popular alterna- tive, and to remain in bed." She hardly seemed to hear me. "I'm so glade you are not really ill. Oh, Uncle Ben, it is such fun down- stairs!" "I am glad," I replied laconically. "But Augusta says she. doesn't like hien, though." "Which" "Why the other one." "Let inc•see, which is the other one?" The dinner -gong began to sound, and she was gone. I tried to think who would tike down whom, but what with the puzzle and the port, my head reeled. No one carte near me. I lay hour after hour till the room grew quite dark in the Summer dusk; tut at intervals I heard voices end nasus (i and laughter in the distance. l had fallen into a (1',-r.e, when a quick step on the stair reused rale. and, with 0 passing rap on the panel of the door, Tom be►mded in.

"\\•e re none of us fueling quite our- selves -it is a sort of epidemic." "Well, the fact is, Toni, that as there is nobody else for ire to feel, I have re- s'lvcd to remain in my own rceorn."

In reply to the question "Cnn I deter- mine the number of pounds of cream to be added to 100 pounds of 4 per cent. milli to snake it test 4.5 pe r cent ?" Hoard's Dairyman says : "flawing two milks or creams of differ- ent richness and requiring to unix them to form a third of different percentage, use the following method : Draw n square and at the two left hand corners write tete per cent. of fat in the two fluids to be mixed. In tete centre pla^e the percentage required. A4 the two re- maining corners rut numbers which will i e the difference between the two man- ners with which they sennet in line. Thus, given four per cent. milk and 30 per cent. cream to slake 4.5 per cent. milk, it will take 25.5 'annuls of 4 per cent. milk and 0.5 pound of 30 per cent. cream to make 4.5 per cent. milk." FATS AS MILK FEEDS. 11 was formerly relieved that the fat in the food was tut plain source of the tat in the milk. A good cow, however, will produtee in a year a much larger amount of Int than she consumes in the food, showing that the fats aro in the part produced from other nlitriml0nts. says the American Cultivator. Investign- tie.ns that have been made show that it is not impossible lo increaee either the percentage or tete total amount of fat in tee ►milk for any appat'cialile time ty the feeding. of fats or oils. Where fats linve been fed to cows. evep at the rate of two pounds or more per day of talioxw, cot- tenseed oil ('r other fats, the fat eontcent of the ►milk was not 3•crnlanently in- creased. \IEA1. FOR THE CALF. Hoard's ikairyman gives the following recipe for calf uncal : One part pure ground finxseod, two parts finely ground cornmeal, sifted, and the whole well mixed. Then boil and allow to stand for twelve hours covered. Begin with one- fourth pound per day for calves a month olei ; new milk for the month previous and no solids.

Mr. Stead, in the Review of - Reviews, describes tete impression Pittsburg made on Stint during tits recent visit, and tells incitlerrtally hew t11r. Carnegie made 5200,000,000 in a single year. The year before Mr. Carnegie sold his interest in his business for $300,000,000, he had offered to sell out for the son of $100,000.000. '1'Ito person to whom he offered the whole of his interest for the smaller sure had to pay a million dol- lars forfeit for not faking up tete option. If the holder of the option had been suc- e•cissful in raising the $100,000,000 Mr. Carnegie would have retired with a -for- tune of $t00,000,000, but as the money was not forthcoming the million dollars went into Mr. Carnegie's poeeket, and Ito slit; remained owner of his interest in the Carnegie concern. 11 was in the next year that Mr. Pierpont Morgan became alarmed by the competition which Car- negie offered to his Steel Corporation, and as the result of tete menace of that competition Mr. Carnegie was induced t ; sell his interest, which leo had pre- viously valued at $100,000,00), for $300,- 000,000. Therefore, adds Mr. Stead, the $200,- 000,000, or two-thirds of his whole for- tune was raid to him, not because of any industrial activity on his part, but owing to the manner in which he succeeded in impressing upon Mr. Pierpont Morgan the fact that he must bo bought out at any price. According to Mr. Stead, Mr. Carnegie is now as rich as ever he was, if not richer : "110 has achieved great success in the course of his long life, but he has never made a more dismal failure than in the attempt to .disembarrass himself of his millions. 11 seems almost incredible that since he sold out his Interest in tete iron and steel works for $300,000,000, although he has been giving away money by the shovelful in the Old \Vorld and the New, he has utterly tailed to make the smallest indent upon the capi- tr.1 sum with which ire started." At one time he did, indeed, succeed in making a little holo in the tnnss of his wealth. Two of his later gifts of $10,- t00,0(I0 each, did entail a drain upon his capital, but as if to mock his Imitations and foil his efforts, the value of the de- benture stock in which his money is irt- vested roe ten per cent., so that instead or tieing $20.000,000 poorer than 11e was when he started, he found himself at the beginning of this year $10,000.000 richer than when he began his (listribu- tion. -4. TIGER Mi:DICINE. M'ondcrful Effect It Had Upon o Ferocious Brute. The Mahst'aja of Jammu had nt one lune the di'tinclion of possessing the finest reale tiger kept in captivity any- v.here in the world. \h•.

Tilt tiger, a glorious brute of white rand orange and black, with steel sin- ews and teeth like Sikh daggers, lay sulkily in his cage and growled. Na- e:aur, the attendant, spoke to the tiger, and as 11e did so the beast flung him - eel! furiously against the flimsy bars. The keeper put his slender hand under hie clothing, and pulled out a little ohne bag. 501110 years ngo the tiger had found tint the little back door of his den was oven.

In China beggars at once attract 'r strangers attention. AlYoul►d every cor- bel., inking; canals and creeks, in mar- aca places, at the city gates, both out- side and imide, and especially in the temple yards, there are beggars litre, is ggars there tines beggars everywhere, ► and u enure pitiable sight one cannot meet. Many of there are crippled or alllictcd with leprosy, and all ore drea-- cel literally 111 rags. 1 made a trip in a houseboat to Soo - chow, moving through Itte numerous canals in tete city and stopping when 1 wished to take a view. 1 landed by a clean, fresh painted, 'large yanten; spotlessly white, wills blue black tiles on the roof, and placed my camera against tete wall to photograph a(, big pagoda on the other side of the canal, writes Carl Bock in the Gentleman's Magazine. The usual Chinese crown soon carte around me, and not a few beggars. I asked an intelligent young Chinaman through my interpreter who lived In this fine big mansion, so un- usually well kept for a Chinese house? I was not a little astonished when I was told THE BEGGAR CIIIEF OF SOOCIEO\\'. This led me to make Inquiry about the system of begging In China, which is wonderfully well organized under a scheme that works admirably, and is, of course, very ancient, like all other institutions in the Middle Kutudoin. The chief has a line residence, concu- bines by the half dozen and very fine clothing, rind he is seen in the best of society -but only where he is not known. As u mark of his dignity he moves about with a long stick, which is allowed him ty the city authorities. He also has the power of life and death over his brnlgarly subjects and punishes all of- fences committed by them. The beggar chief is a regular attenl- nnt at the marriage ceremonies and funeral processions of private famines in order to get his pay for keeping nway tri: hungry crowd of beggars, who otherwise would hinder the festival e:r procession in a disagreeable, noisy way. I was told that the beggar chief of Soo - chow has an income of about $15,O00 a year. The billet of the one in Shang- hai city is worth about $5,000.

There are different kinds of beggars. Imperial beggars, or I.no yen tint; (the words rl1ean "old man's Miliceu') have probably no parallel in the world, as sc1110 of them are descendants of the an- cient Ming dynasty or distantly relat- e.: to the present reigning inlperin1 h•euse. Tuley are scattered all over the c• uutr•y, are said to number upward of 10,(00 and are special, numerous in Pekin. Imperial beggars are easily re- cognized because they ore allowed to weer garments of the imperial yellow of different shades. Characters ore 3o:nted in black en the bark and front of their robes to denote their profession. They wear either a straw hat or u vel- vet cap ornamented with a: brass but- ton. When first I snw Them 1 took them to be old degraded ollicial3, for there are hundreds of them in Soochow. They cr.rry a wooden bell in their hands to afINeunce (heir arrival. As a rule they are over 6 yenrs of age and have no amity to support them, and they are an allowed to beg for more money than the ordinary craft and are furnished with a license from the Magistrnte. They are, of course, too aristocratic to be under the rule of the ordinary beg- gar chief. in Nankin there is quite a select com- pany of them, tho order having been instituted ns far back as the Ming dy- nasty. hung Wu, the founder of the Ming dynasty, was once u beggar him- self. 'The rise F110341 BEGGAR TO EMPEROil probably bents the record of any dy- nasty in Europe. 1n pious remem- ttrance of his former profession (lung \\'u instituted this order.

The coarsest Is e sacking material, and closely rexsembtes ordinary jute sneaking in appearance. It is fairly strong, and reliable reports state that it is fully as durable as the article of jute. Some rattler tasteful figured stuffs in- tended for hangings, portiers, ete., are 4)1 composite structure, the warp being o! cotton and the wwo(.f of paper yarn. Heavier materials of this sort aro eai(1 1•t render good service as rags. 'Puree tightest stuffs are apparently too stiff to lend themselves easily for use as wear- ing applrel. FISH GELATIN TREATMENT. A light, blue stuff, with a rather lus- trous surface, is, however, not far re; droved in point of pliability or supple- ness from certain grades of American cotton fabrics, which (lad a ready mar- ket among the Cl;incse. A closely - woven stuff, upon n hide designs have been minted, could be used vera effec- tively for a wall covering The sacking manufactured there has rendered admirable service and seems to .replace the jute article perfectly. Sacks - of this material have been very success- fully employed as mail bags. By treatment with 6111 gelatin Una resistance to moisture has been so heightened that woven stuffs can be re- peatedly washed and do not suffer from exposure to ttie elements. .An interest- ing application of paper at \'crwiers is. that of the monufncture of hats in imi- tation of ordinary straw head -gear and of the more costly Panama !tats. The re- st:its are said to be very satisfactory. Special advaninge's are claimed for the paper hats, apart from the cheapness. The color of the artificial straw or of ilio imitation leaves of the Central American screw pine 'is but little affected by ex- pcsure to t'ic sun, and, what is of con- siderable importance, the 1leiter can command the use 4,f material of any length. WAEI'\f'TEi \\'ELL KNOWN. Paper does not "generate" heat when in contact whet the rkim or when a:. as n vest any more) than any other inert substance. Rough fabrics, more par- ticularly certain course woollen goads, del stimulate the circulation when in ina mediate contact with the skin, but pure- ly ns the result of mechanical irritation. it has long been 11 matter of common household knowledge that a sheet of stout paper is ns gcxxl as tt heavy gar- ment in proteetiug any given part of the body against cold. Tints, a news- paper between n vest rend a coat pro- tects the tack of ttie wearer ns effectively as if lie wore a heavy overcoat, and the use of paper to protect the feet is well known. POOR CONDU(TOft. its value In this Connection is based main the fact that it is a poor conduc- 1 i of heat and tut slightly permeable in meat of its forms. It is com):arable in this respect to a thin garment of caout- cliouc as a protc•'tor against cold, be- cause it retrains al.out the body a layer of air already warmed by animal heat. II does not have all of the disadvantage' attending the use of caoutcttouc, resul- tant frcin the complete impermeability cf the latter, and the consequent conden• sation and retention of the moisture emanating from the skin, but in the Tab tut- respect It Is probably less healthy Than tissues of animal origin, much as silk and wool. 'Thee garments permit the very slow exchange of the layer of wane air about the body, charged with 1►.s various emanations, for external colder aur. . REMARKABLE HAND.
