• THE HONEYSUCKLE'S STORY.
lot Manes Lever, Who Wooed but Proved
False.
ER mother planted me when he
first married John Grant, the
gamekeeper, and came home to
live. As you, see, the lodge is
very pretty, but gray etone al-
ways looks cold and drear if there
are no clinging vines to enliven
the picture. This is why I am here—to en.
liven and beautify—and I flatter myself that
I more than fulfil my duty.
Yes, as I was saying, her mother planted
eme, and at twiligbawhen John had finished
work, they would come together, and she
would say :
"How that honeyauckle grows! Why,
John, I do believe it will blossom before
next summer 1"
"1 shouldn't wonder, dear," he would
answer. "The lodge will look nearly as
Eno as the Great House with the honey-
suckles covering it all over."
How proud we were—we three—on the
day when my first tendril twined round the
doorpost !
'Maus I grew and flourished in the sun-
light, and gradually the whole front of the
• lodge was gay with nodding blossoms. But
although I was happy, still at times alonely
feeling overcame me that I could not
account for. John had his work to do, and
even the little wife had no time to waste
on the porch. But one morning my silent
wish was gratified, for they brought her out
to the doorway—a tiny bundle of flannels --
a baby—and I knew my playfellow had
arrived.
Then came a Sunday morning when a
little triune procession hied down the path
with their best robes. In about an hour
, they returned, with several additions to the
party, and sat down to cakes and wines in
the porch. Presently John rose and pro-
posed a toast --"Miss Louise Grant." Then
Iknew they had been to the christening.
Now you see there were two of us to
grow—Baby Lou and 1—and the days
palmed like dreams. She would play by
the hour, digging, in the sofb earth about
my roots, stopping occasionally to pick a
hunch of my sweetest bloeitoms and thrust
them through the big gate to tho pass-
ers-by.
One morning she came out with a school
bag on her arm and my lonely days began
once more.
Thus bhe years passed and Lods grew to
be a woman with a sweet, gentle face—not
exactly beautiful, but so loving and true
that every one called her pretty,
and it seemed to me that "Master :Fred"
—as John called the heir to the great house
--caine to the lodge oftener than before. At
Brat an errand for his lady mother would be
the excuse; then he would develop a sus-
picious anxiety for John's opinion of the
advisability of inviting a party down for
the shooting • but finally all disguise was
• abandoned and Louise would watch for him,
leaning her brown head against the pillar of
the piazza, where I could caress her to my
heart's content. But not long was this
pleasure afforded me, for when his firm
tread was heard upon the gravel her lithe
figure would straighten and grow tense with
impatience and her blue eyes strain to catch
a glimpse of the beloved form through the
gathering shadows.
She loved him truly and las Ineve it ; but
Master Fred grew tired and the time came
When sho would watch for him in vain
night after night: Finally, if he did ap-
pear, it was to "stay only a few minutes, '
as he had come " just to see how they all
were,' to carelessly pat her cheek, tell her
she looked as if her head ached, kiss her
lightly and go. Still she belived in him.
Finally hie anxiety for the family welfare
seemed to die out entirely, and one morning
Tim, the gardener, stopped at the lodge on
leis way to the greenhouses.
"Hey, John 1 John Grant !" he called
lustily.
" Hells), Tim ! How goes it r asked
John, coming around the house. "How

a nod and a smile as the two men walked
off together.
But when they were out of sight—ah I
knew she had heard! She grasped my
trunk for support, and sinking her head on

tinge of despair. .
"Oh, I don't believe it I don't believe

She smiled at the recollection and whis-

"Oh, my dearest, forgive me ! It was
cruel of roe to doubt you for one instant.
There is a mistake somewhere. He will make
•everything right."
Lifting her head with renewed hope and
trust she went in, and pretontly I Saw her
atealing off in the direction of the woods,
probably to think it out."
That afternoon a party of young men
cameto the lodge # bringing her with thena.
"We were shooting in the avoode,"- one
explained, "and the young lady has ortuight
a stray shot in her arm. It is Very unfor-
tunate, but I assure you it was en actident,
• and the wound is very :Afghan more scratch
• in the flesh, nothing niore," And with pro-
fuse apologies from the whole patty they
left her to her mother.
-Trne it was only a scratch, but Lou
eeemed to have lest her old light-hearted
smile, and went around the house looking
like the ghost of the girl who used to welt
for her lover uoder the sbadow of my
big:memos.
• This went, on for a week or two until ,
one night Lou caned out in the moonlight
alone, and, after digging a little hole by my
roots, droplied into it a peckage of noters
and a cluster of withered honeysuckle
bloesome. Her mother, etepping oue on tile
porch,was alarmed at finding her standing

me n the chill night air, She called to
her softly :
"Lon, dear 1"
At that the girl's heart overflowed, and
in a low, subdued voice that I could
scarcely hear, she told the sad little story
of the afternoon in title woo&
She had wandered on for about an hour,
she thought, when a rustling in the thicket
startled ber, and turning she saW a familiar

thought that came to her was of the doubts

plain everything satisfactorily. he had
cried "Fred 1" and ran towards him when
sbe heerd a report and felt a sharp twinge
in her arm.
She felt stunned, more from fright than
anything else, and lay there with closed
yea for a moment, trying to collect her
scattered onus. There was a confused
murmur in her ears, and what was evi-
dently the remainder of a shooting party
hurried up Presently one voice saiddis-
tinctly :
"Why, Fred, do you know her? She
called your name. One of your flames ?
Awfully sorry 1 shot her. Fine girl !"
Then another, with a laugh:
"Been at your old tricks I see. Whet

And he had answered indifferently:
"Oh, nothing serious, I assure you. My
dear Guise, do give me credit, for better

finished softly. "It might worry him."

Bow to Cook Fish.
Judge of the freshness of fish by the
brightness of the eyes, redness of the gills,
stiffness of the fina and firmness of the flesh.
Have on hand a fish -turner. It is one of
the most useful kitchen utensils, as it is
exceedingly difficult to turn a fish without
mutilating it.
Use olive oil, cottolene, lard or pork
scraps for fried fish. Some cooks use a
dredging of flour, others beaten eggs and
crackers or bread crumbs. Season with salt
and pepper and fry a delicate brown.
In boiling a large fish wrap in a cloth
which has been well floured to prevent
sticking, tie with string and cover with
three inches of,cold water well salted. Time,
five to ten minutes per pound. When done
draM on a sieve.
If broiled, cleanse and dry; split the fish
open so that the backbone will be flat in the
middle; when seasoned, butter gridiron
and brown fish with the =aide towards the
•coals. Butter lavishly and serve on hot
platter. Garnish with parsley.
The fish to be baked must be thoroughly
washed and wiped dry; when stuffed sew
together, season with salt and pepper and
sufficient water to baste with. Many
housekeepers fill in the spaces about the
sides of the pan with raw potatoes. One
hour is sufficient for a large fish.
The Doctor Dumfounded.
Agood story is told of a very reverend
and very dignified master of an English
college. Although "the doctor" was a
serious man, he was also a kindly one, and
when a young man of his college fell ill, did
all in his power to procure him good care
and the best medical advice. Finally the
invalid's slater arrived, and as she was young
and inexperienced the worthy doctor en-
deavored, by conetant attention, to lighten
her load of anxiety. She was moat grate-
ful and confided to her betrothed, who was
at a distance, her desire that only " the
drar doctor," the master of the college,
should perform their wedding ceremony.
The student recovered and was now to
accompany into
his sister home, there to be
nurse vigor again. The doztor was
present to say good-bye and the lady was
full of gratitude. Doctor," says she,
grasping both his hands, "you have been
so good to me !" "1 have found great
pleasure in your acquaintance," said the
gentleman in his most dignified awl
courteous manner. "You have dale so
much for me, but I am going to ask eve
more favor! Will you promise to marry
me?" Tbe doctor, amiable as he was;
dropped her hands and Started back in
horror. "My dear young lady," he stam-
mered, "1-1'm afraid we,shouldn't get on
together !"—San Francisco Argonaut.
The Next Total Solar Eclipse.
Though the next total solar eclipse does
not take place till April 15, 1893, astrono-
mers are already astir making plans for ob-
serving it. .Mattere says it will probably
be "very widely obeerved, not only be-
cause the shadow of the moon passes over
such e. great stretch of land, but because
the phenomenon occurs at the period when
a sun spot maximum is approaching, at
which time, of course, the dieturbed part of
the atmosphere of the sun is on the in-
arease." The centre of the shadow traverses
Chili passes to the north of the .Argentine
Reptiblic, skirts the provinces of Bolivia
and Paraguay and cuts through the heart
of Brazil, finally crossing the Atlantic
Ocean and entering the African coast be-
tween Cape Verde and Bathurst. It is not
too early for American and European
astronomers to make preparations for ob-
iferving theephenomenon. The opportunity
should be improved to the utmost by ropie-
sentatives of all nations.

KILLED AT A BLIND CROSSINO,1
Bad End of a Pionio Party of New
• Yorkers.
OUT DOWN WITHOUT WARNINGo
And• this was the ending of aij merry a
pionie as ever made the leafy arches of
Shady Side Grove ring with joyousness.
Shady Side is a few Rules beyond Wurtz-
boro' ana a vary pleasant epot, The par-
ticular picnic width went there yesterday
was composed for the most part of New
York city summer boarders around Bloom-
ingburg. •
They went in half a dozen vehicles, but
the one which contained the gayest party
was that driven by Frank Dineen. They
all figure in the list as killed or injured.
The picnic at Shady Side came to an end
late. The music ceased and the lights went
out in the pavilion about midnight.
The party drove up to the mountains and
stopped for a while at Riley's Hotel in
Wurtzboro. Time passed quickly on the
pleasant front porch, and it was twenty-five
minutes to 3 this morning before they took
their departure. They had apleasant drive
of several miles over the mountain to Bloomingburg, and no one was in a particular
hurry to get to bed,
The waggon which Frank Dineen drove
took the lead. It was a wide, three seated
concern. On the front seat were Dineen,
Miss Case and Miss Brown. On the second
seat wore Mrs. Tappin, Mr. Fuller andMr.
Walsh, Miss Teems McCoy and Mr. and
Mrs. S. L. Frank occupied the back seat.
Their road ran down from Riley's Hotel
crossing the railroad track at Wurtzboro'
dation. °
What Conductor Babcock, of No. 33, and
his crew were doing when Dineen ancl his
party reached the crossing, is in railroad
parlance called "making a flying switch."
This can easily be done on a deecending
grade mobas exists on the railroad at this
point.
A oar had to be dropped at Wurtzboro.
It was detached from the rest of the train,
hurried along by the engine and left on the
siding, while the remainder of the train
thundered along under its own momentum
and brakes.
This was being done when Dineen reached
the crossing and pulled in his homes to
listen for a train. He heard it. Then the
engine of train No. 33 shot past through the
gloom. It had no train attached, but what
of that? Locomotives do not always run
" loaded."
Dineen spoke to his horses and they
started across the track. Suddenly from
one of the girls a shriek went up:
"A ear! A car
There, right on them, was a train rushing
down the grade at furious speed.
Dineen gave a yell, lashed his horses,
swept one arm around the shoulders of
Pearl Case and pushed her over the dash-
board.
Then there was a crashing of timbers and
a shrieking of men and women as the train
swept the picnic party along the track with
great velocity and left them ground to
piece on the rails or maimed beside them.
They said afterward that the brakes of
the freight train refused to work. It is
certain that it was going at tremendous
speed and that a hundred feet below the
scene of death the forward car juotied the
track and plunged half way down the
mountain side. But the scene there in the
moonlight for the eyes of the picnickers was
one for grief. Mr. and Mrs. Frank had
been frightfully mangled; so had Mr.
Walsh. They, as well as Miss McCoy, had
been mercifully killed outright. How the
five others escaped the same fate not even
they can tell. The horses had crossed the
track just as the car struck and were
uniniured. They ran as far as Blooming -
burg.
The members of the picnic crowd who
were in the carriage following carried the
wounded back to the hotel. There Drs.
T. D. Mills and C. W. Piperattencled them.
It was at first thought that Duneen would
die before daylight, as he had been hurt in-
ternally, but he may recover.
The Automatic Car Drake.
In the old horse car days a car leaving
the track was quite a common occurrence,
especially on these portions of the track
which were in sections of the country bub
slightly built up, and consequeutly kept in
poor repair. When an accident of this kind
happened the male passengers were ex-
pected to get out and help lift or push the
car back on the track, and, although there
was a good deal of grumbling, this was
generally done. Rapid transit has, how-
ever, introduced so much heavier cars that
it is no small matter to lift one of them even
if fifty men unite in the effort, and hence
jumping the track is a more :serious matter.
On one rapid transit road so many cam have
bit the track lately on curves that an
order has been issued by the presi-
dent to the superintendent to dis-
charge the conductor and motor man of
every train thus delayed,and quite a number of
railroad men are looking out for positions
in consequence. A European genius has in-
vented a contrivance which is prcatically
an automatic brake, which applies itself on
curves and prevents a car from travelling at
more than a started epeed, generally five
miles an hour. It is attached to the Wheels
of the motor car, whether the motive power
is steam or electricity, and it is out of the
power of the en,gineer or the motorman to
run any risks by rapid driving around
curves. Nervous passengers would derive
much comfort from the introduction of this
device here, and in the long run it would
prove profitable to corporations introducing
it by reducing the risks of accidents and
suits for damages, and also the delay caused
to the entire servibe by care leaving the
track on awkward ourves.—Sa. Louis Globe -

ered by Mr. J. R. Llatees, Mayor of Ammo

of the Islands of the British West Indies.
The occasion was the celebration of the

The mayor—a Roman Cetholio--preeided,
end a scene seldom witnessed, and worths
not often heard, were enjoyed by a goodly
gathering. , The Mayor's address, showing
at once the impression whioh the mission in
Trinidad is ma,king on those outside, and
the broad and liberal spirit of the gentle-
man who made iO was as follows:
"1 greatly feel the honor done to me in
asking me to take the chair on this °CGS'
sion, the jubilee of the Arouca Presbyterian
Church. It must not be expected that, on
this occasion, I will attempt to go deeply
into the history of Presbyterianism, Suffice
it for me to say that I know the good that
it has done to humanityin general. In
every clime the self-sacrificing Presbyterian
missionary is to be seen disinterestedly
laboring for the alleviation of suffering and
unhappy humanity. In the wilds of
Australia and in the deserts of Africa he
fears no danger, but, submissively to the
*ill of his Maker, he fulfils the duties of
his noble and divine calling. As good
men, true to themselves and to humanity,
I respect them, and among them I am
proud and happy to reckon some personal
friends. Without, however, touching on
any points of difference of doctrines, or say-
ing. anything as to the merits of the Presby-
terian Church, in its comparison with other
churches, there is one topic which offers
fair ground for epeaking—a topic in
which the members of every church are in-
etrested,:and which, therefore, may engage
our common attention on Ine present happy
occasibn—I mean the well-being ot the
human race. Now 1 can confidently say
that no Church in this Island of Trinidad
has achieved greater resulte on this head in
proportion to the number of its clergy than
has the PreabyterianeChurch. I leave out
,of sight just now its work among the Creole
part of the population—although Ilea, in-
deed, is considerable, as the very satisfac-
tory condition of the congregation attending
the church of the pastor in whose district
we have met to -night proves. But I will
just point to the excellent work that has
been done among the Indian part of our
population. This is a field that has been
but slightly touched by the other denomina-
tions. Who that is acquainted with the
state of the East Indian when he lands, a
heathen from heathen lands in this island,
can be too loud in the praise of a Church
that has given itself heart and soul to the
amelioration, moral and religious, of
this section of our population? Con-
trast, the coolie when he arrives on
our shores, a votary of his degrading
superstition, with the coolie brought under
the blessed and humanizing influences of
Christianity, and then I adr, how shall we
overestimate the good that is being done by
this Missionary Church in our midst? The
coolie comes here dressed in a state of half
• nudity, treating his woman and children as
mere chattels and articles of merchandise—
valuing human life cheaply, insomuch that
it takes but little to make him commit
murder. See the same man when he yields
• himself to the teaching of his missionary.
We may now say of him that he is clothed
and in his right mind.' He now sees that
his wife, whombefore he looked ones a mere
chattel, as only born to minister to man's
selfish needs—while no rights of her own
were to be considered—is a child of the
same Almighty Father with himself, having
an imrnortal soul, possessing equal privi-
leges with himself as a citizen of that city,
whose foundations both he and she look for,
and towards whose gates both he and she
are wending their way in their daily pil-
grimage. The girls of his family he now
sees were born for other things than merely
to be nurtured as common animals and sold
as wives—namely, to be reared to take their
places on equal terms with their husbands
as responsible heads of households. In short,
he now sees that true happiness consists as
much in a due consideration for the com-
forts of others as of himself, and that it is
only by being withdrawn from the deluding
influence of self-love that a man can really
consult his highest and best intermit."
Orange Ice.
A very nice orange ice is made in this
way: Put a quart of water and three-
fourths of a pound of sugar in a porcelain -
lined sancepan over a moderately hot fire.
When it has boiled ten minutes remove it
from the fire and let it stand until it is per-
fectly cool. Squeeze the juice from a dozen
oranges and four lemons.
Rasp the rind of an orange with a lump
of sugar, and after the juice of the lemons
and oranges has been strained add it,
together with thelurap of sugar, to the
boiled sugar and water, and, after stirring
all thoroughly together, freeze the same as
ice cream.

The fact that Theodore Thomas is musi-
cal director of the World's Columbian Ex-
position, paid that associated with him are
William L. Tetanus and George H. Wilson,
is assurance sufficient that music of the
highest order and an excellent programme
will be provided, The best mosical talent
of the world will be drawn upon; fine halls
will be provided ; and something like half
a million utters will be expended to make
the musical features of the Exposition

set apart for an orchestra of 120 Wiled
musicians, who will be drilled by Theodore
Thomas. This orchestra veM be the nucleus
about which will be formed the grand chor-
uses.
The appointed commissioner to Europe
who was sent to tender the invitation of
the Exposition to the most dietinguished
composers has returned with an encouraging
report which assures a series of international
concerts unprecedented in point of scope
and character.
The • musical director assumes that
thousands of singers and music lovers will
visit the exposition in any case, and that
they will prefer to appear as ocntributors,
thus conferring an importance upon
their societies and their homes not poseible
under any other circumstances. These forces
being, directed and guided, as they must be,
in combined effort, the necessary prepara-
tion for their appearance at the Exposition
will afford intelligent direction to efforts
that in some parts of the country are now
being wasted for want of a commanding
object of work.

The Cures for Rheumatism.
He came into the car on crutches, and
soon a sympathizing crowd gathered about
him. "Been in an accident ?" asked one
man. " Nope ; nothin' but rheumatiz,"
answered the traveller. "1 see you wear
one of them metal rings," remarked another.
"Yep. Paid $2 for it, an' ain't had it off
my finger yet. Helps some,
spose. Si ,Ie
hearn tell of them rings," said a Missouri
man, in a drawling tone, "bat I tell ye
what, stranger, there ain't ennythin' kin
Compare with a common or'nary p'tater
carried in the pocket. I've tried it, and
cured myself of rheumatics, ez you kin,
see." "Here it is," said the man with the
crutches, bringing outt a shrunken substance
,
from his pocket, ' an' I'm free to say I had
faith in it—fur a spell." Then a little man
with a !peaky voice spoke up—" If you
had carried a horse chestnut in your pocket,
mister, 'stead of a 'tater, you'd a been
cured afore this." "Here's your chest-
nut," said the sufferer, as he dug into his
other pocket. "1 hevn't left any stone
unturned," and he produced the product in
question. "Well' sir," interrupted a quiet -
looking man who had not spoken before,
"11 you had only tried angle -worm oil, you
wouldn't be going on °retches now. My
wife's mother—" "I've a supply in my
satchel, and I've used a de :en bottles, and
they haven't done me a mite of good." "If
you had my doctor," suggested a commer-
cial traveller, when the sufferer struck in—
" Don't talk to me about doctors. They
can't even tell you whether the rheumatism
is a blood disease or a nerve malady. ru
stake any old woman against the doctors in
rheumatics—ouch !" andheproceeded to rub
a complaining limb. "Gentleman," said
the conductor, as he punched their tickets,
"you're all wrong. The way to cure rheu-
ma.tism is to take hot baths at the Blank
Springs. It's a sure cure every time."
"I've just come from the springs," groaned
the sufferer, "and If I live to get home,
and my old woman can get a chance to clap
on a home-made mustard plaster, and give
me some of her opodeldoc bitters, I reckon I
may be of amme use in the world yet. But
I'll brain the next man that offers me a cure
for rheumatism. Yes, sir, I will, by
hokey I"

that Mrs. Maybrick was improperly con-

recommending for pardon the unfortunate
woman, who is serving a life eentence.

BEATE SEAMAN DAM.
Fittingly Rewarded by the Britisb noll
eanadian elovernments.
For months the British Government,
through its consuls and other repreaenta-
tives, hat been endeavorieg to locate Thos.
Barr, a humble mechanic, formerly an able
seaman on the British steamship Cyprus, to
reward him for heoriem and bravery at Sea.
Recently Capt. Robert Clipperton, the
British Coneul in Philadelphia, succeeded in
finding Barr working at Cramps' shipyard,
having tired of the sea,, and his bravery will
now be fittingly recognized.
During the terrible storm of Sept. 30th,
1891, when the violent gale of days' duration
scattered the North Atlantic Ocean with
wrecks of many staunch and noble vessels,
the Cyprus of Newcastle-upon-I'yne, coin -
mewled by Capt. Edward Guild, bound
from Philadelphia, narrowly escaped foun-
derin g.
In the midst of this roaring gale a sink-
ing, water-logged find unmanageable sailing
vessel was sighted, laboring and straining
in the trough of the een Immediate relief
seemed out of the question, as the Cyprus
herself was hove to and endeavoring to
weather the gaie with the seas breaking
over her bulwarks with terrific force, not-
withstanding the skill displayed by the
officers in charge of her. A call for volun-
teem from the Cyprus' crew was made, and
the first to respond was Barr. He was soon
followed by John Hartley, Edwin Hicks
and James Embley, all able seamen, and
Chief Officer Sandholm ordered the small
boat lauohed,,, with himself in command.
The sea was rimming to the height of the
main yard, and Mae orests of the waves vvere
white with foam.
By the tattered and torn oode signals, as
they hung to what remained of the vessel's
upper rigging, it was learned that the vessel
was the Canadian brigatine (Mara, of Yar-
mouth, Nova Scotia. The crew were tied
fast in the rigging, as at every • larch she
made it was feared she would turn bottom
up and throw all hands in the sea. Chief
Officer Sandholm was soon near the vessel,
• but to get too close meant destruction of the
small boat and death to all.
Orders were given for the men to jump
overboard on the lee side of the ship. They
obeyed, and as they came up were grabbed
by Barr and others and taken on theCyprus,
nearly famished and half-dead from coldand
exposure.
The Canadian Government has forwarded
to the British Board of Trade substantial
rewards for the crew that raade the rescue,
together with Capt. Guild, who success-
fully managed his vessel in one of the wild-
est storms that ever swept the Atlantic and
saved every soul on the Clara. A bill of
excliange of several pounds sterling will be
given Barr, besides a testimonial from the
Canadian Government for bravery.
A aerious fight took place yesterday
between soldiers and civilians at Spandau,
where the extensive gun manufactory works
of the German Government are eituated.
The trouble grew out of some chance
street encounter like so many others which
are of almost daily occurrence in some part
of the Empire. Herr Vo,gelweiss, a °Milan,
was killed by a sword -thrust from one
of the soldiers, and three other civilians
were badly hurt. A number of arrests have
been made, and an investigation has been
ordered.
