He fell In love with her hopelessly, irretrievably, as entirely as even Harriet Charterie could have wished, and was perpetual- ly bringing over flowers and sending U p to London for books, and) music, all to make exouses for his incessant visits to the oldi manor, After a few Ineffectual struggles to maintain her former stiff demeanor, Miss Blount succumbed, and treated. him with that strange insidious mixture of womanly gentleness and childish petulanee so dangerously sweet to all those who were unlu.cley enough to enroll thema selves under her banner. A.reh I ba Id Blount was more than satisfied with the state of things; af- fairs seemed inproving and brighter days loomed in th,e misty future. Al- ready he saw visions and dreamed dreams of the time to, come when hie pooket. should be once more amply filled, and the old place renovated from garret to basement.

So he calculated; and meantime Sir Mark, with the nervous timidity of a blu,.ehing 'schoolboy - despite his twenty-se•ven years -was yourself; it is rather wild of you, is wondering when he should dare to lay it not, to ride over here all the way his fourteen thousand a year at Miss without a groom?". 13 aunt s diminutive feet, while Black - They had reached the hall door by wood.

Sir Mark asked. "I can take One morning early, about eleven care of you, I fancy, and so put o'clock, Sir Mark Warrenne called at Mrs. Charteris's mind at rest about your safety." "Thank you," Kathering answered, placing. the tiniest foot he had ever yet seen in the palm of his hand prepara- tory to mounting, "but I could not dream of giving you so much trouble. Besides" - ungraciously -- "I general- ly prefer riding by myself." "Conclusive, returned the young man, reddening a little, but gathering up the reins quietly and putting them into her hand, while Harriet felt al- most ready to cry with vexation at the girl's wilfulness. "But I am sorry for my own sake that solitary rides are so much in favor with you, as it would have given -me great pleasure to ac, - company you so far." Miss Blount relented. After all, it was not his fault, and probably he would never even want to marry her - it was not wronging Blackwood in any way to be commonly civil to him. So she turned and made amends for her rudeness very prettily. "If it will really give, you any plea- sure," she said, softly, bestowing a re- markably sweet, repentant little smile on him the while, which was her method of being "uncommonly civil" to young men, "you can come. but I warn you that I am not the most agreeable person in the world to ride with." "Thank you," Sir Mark found him- self saying, very gratefully. And so they rode down the long aVenue of chestnuts together, little dreaming of the future that lay before them. Three miles is a short ride, taking small time to travel, so it was not very long before they arrived at the manor gate, where Warrenne drew rein and paused. "Will you not come in?" Miss Blount asked, her manner more friendly than it had been hitherto. "You knew papa long ago, I think, when I was away at school, and Blackwood - did you know him?" "Your father and I were very good friends," Sir Mark answered. "I will call to -morrow and renew our acquain- tance, as I cannot come in this evens ing, th,ank you; but 'Blackwood' I have not the pleasure of knowing -he is your brother?" "No, my cousin," the girl answered, with a certain half -shy embarrassment in her voice, which she somehow found impossible to restrain, which caused the baronet to feel a most unreason- able pain somewhere about the region of the heart --a pain he would have scorned to call jealously, but which, neverthelese, was remarkably like it. "Oh, your cousin," he said, simply, "Good-bye, Miss Blount." But he pressed her hand with un- usual warrath, and went on his way musing vaguely about divers things that in some unaccountable manner al- ways merged. into a recollection of Katherine Blount's mocking, irresisti- ble face. Meanwhile that young lady had can- tered gayly enough up the graveled walk, all her old spirits quite restored now that the obnoxious baronet was out of her sight, and, having dismount- ed and run up stairs to ehange her dress for dinner, had come down again, radiant in beauty and white muslin, to encounter her eousin hi the hall. "Where have you been all the day?" he inquired, lovingly, taking both her hands in the old familiar fashion, and looking with true, warm admira,tion into her eyes. "Riding?" "Yes, riding," Katherine ensWered, feeling uhusually glad to see him, and smiling brightly up into his face. . "I went over to see Harry and tell her all about this ball affair, you know." • "Yes, kuow," he said still retain- ing her bends, as though loath to part with them, "arid - did you, hear that Sit Mark Warrenne has returned to the hall?" it vivid unwished-for blush crimsoning her cheeke. "I met him to -day at Harriet's." "Did you?" Blackwood said, with sudden bitterness, as lie marked the the manor and found Miss B.ount in the smaller flower -garden over- looked by the drawing -room windows. Crossing the lawn and, vaultihg the wire partition that separated the pare terra where she was standing from the outer grass, he came up to her, and held out his hand. "Goode -morning," he said. "Goodemorning," returned Kather- ine, politely, returning his smile sweet- ly, and giving him her hand with much friendliness. "You are determined we shall not call you lazy. Have you had your breakfast?" "Hours ago. I have forgotten all about it. What! Would you have me he in bed with the merry sun so high in the heavens? I am not sueh a sluggard as that." • "I apologize,' said Katherine, with raock humility; "yet still I plead guilty to a feeling of intense curiosity. You must not think me rude or im- agine yourself unweleome-but what has brought you here at this hour "An overpowering desire to see you again '-with a laugh that completely banished all suspicion of love -making 7 -"and, -the fact is, I am going fish- ing; my rod is at the- house.

Now, senseless as this panic may seem. there is some cause for it, though this cause will undoubtedly appear altogether insufficient to intelligent persons. And this cause is the aa- peiarance at the close of this year of several planets in a single sign of the Zodiac. Not for centuries has there been such a Planetary combina- tion as this, and itt is no wonder that foe the last few years star readers and. other soothsayers have been drawing attention to it, and 'have been predicting more or less universal. ill luck as a conseque.nce . Indian as- trologers maintain that their country is bound to suffer some unparalleled disasters within the next six months, and certain French and English pro- • phets claim that the United States will also surely be scourged. in Borne man- ner during the same time, apparent- ly because the planets, when cluster-' ed. together in Sagittarius, will at the same time be opposed by Neptune in Gemini, and according to all the text books Gemini is the sign which rules the United States. • • JEAN STQFLER'S BLUNeDER. Vilty These Two Itnees Have Never Beell. • Able to Agree. That the English and the Irishs liv- ing under the same physical condi- tions, should have the most opposite eharacteristics of any two people in the world is one of the mysteries. The physical'conditions of the two races are almost identical. Ireland, like England, being insular, with a surface marked by moderate irregularities and possessing a moist and equable climate the chief differences being that Ire- land is rather more mountainous than England, and its climate being a little milder and wetter. Yet the two peo- ples are sharply contrasted in tem- perament and character. The Irish are as impulsive, mercurial, humorous and unmethodical as the English are stolid, orderly and. practical. In war the Irish are most successful in attack the English in defense, The Irishman enters into matrimony with -his heart only, the Englishman calculates the cost of marriage before making a pro- posal. Irish literature is more witty, more tender, more glowing than Eng- lish, but is less solid and enduring The contrast of character is most strikingly demonstrated by the • fact that the two nations, during an inter- course of more than seven centuries have never been able to thoroughly understand each other, and, apart frcm artificial difficulties manufac- tured by unscrupulous agitators, the real differences between the two coun tries have been entirely due to a mutual misunderstanding of each other's characteristics.

W, Prowntng, druggist, Now, it is worth noting that there was a similar panic nearly four hund- red years ago and for precisely the same reason. In 1521 Jean Stotler, a German, terrified Europe by pre- dicting a universal deluge in 1524 "owing to tb.e conjunction of several planets in a watery sign" -the wat- ery signs are Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces, At his ominous words thou- sands fled to the mountains and others took refuge in boats. Awinol, a doc- tor of law and Canon of Toulouse, even built a sort of ark on four pillars as a haven of refuge. There was no need of snob. excitement. No flood came. On the contrary, the season was even calmer and drier than usual. Staler had., indeed, made a serious blunder, and one for Which many of his f allow astrologers, including Car- ders, never pardoned him. Staler, however, is only one in a long list of prophets whose predictions in regard to the end of the world have proved utterly false. !As far back as the year 1000 may communities in Europe were driven half distracted by rumors that the day oft judgment was close a.t hand, and again in 1186 whole cities were paralyzed with fright for the same reason. Now and again dur- ing the latter part of the -Middle Ages the same extraordinary phenomenon was witnessed, though in a lesser de- gree, and ever since the modern re- vival of occultism there have, not been wanting erratic prophets of the Jean Stotler type. • A few geese' ago a Mr. 'Baxter creat- ed a sensation in England, by his pre- diction that the world would certain - COME TO AN END, IN 1887.

Yet such is the oredutity of human nature that their faith in him remained un- shaken, and, no matter what year he selected as the final one the world's existence, they accepted. his predic- tion as .gospel. truth. Equally bold, though doubtless not as popular as Baxter, is the Abbe Dupin, cure of the village of Dion in France, and author of a book with the following extraordinary title :-"The grand coup or univer-sal cataely,sm will ravage the world. between the 19111 and 21st of September, 1896, ac- cording to the Scriptures. The pro- phecies of the Old and New Testaments corepare with those of the Fathers and with the secrets of LEL Sat ette, in which is foretold the great war which will destroy nine -tenths of the human race, the coming of Antichrist and his reign, after which' the Church will trinnaph over her enemies and the reign of Christ begin on earth.' The author fixed September, 1896, as the time when the great "coup," as he callecl it, would take place,' but he ad. ole,d that, if it did not take plane then, it would Certainly occur before • the close of 1899, and, lelsb some of hie readers may fancy him to be the ir- responsible victim of • an unbridled imagination, be takes eare to 13 oint out that his work has been issued with the saricticin of the Church authorities, it statement which many are inclin- ed to aceept eumgrano sans, as it is well known that Rome does not en- courage her priests to pose es phets.

The appearance of comets has fre- quently given rise to similar predic- tions. This was the case when the famous comet of 1680 appeared. 'Whiston ascribed. the deluge to its former appearance, and such an ex- citement did it cause among all clas- ses of the pdople that Bayle wrote a treatise to prove the absurdity fo b el let founded on these portents. Mme. de Lavigne, writing at the same time, said e "We have a comet of enormous size; its tail is the most beautiful object conceivable. Every person of note is alarmed and believes that Heaven, in- terested in their fate, sends them a warning in this comet. They say that the courtiers of • Cardinal Mazarin, who is despaired of by his physicians, believe this prodigy is in honor of his passing away, and tell him of the ter- ror with which it has inspired. them. He had the sense to laugh at them and to reply facetiously that the comet did him too much honor." WHAT FLA1VIMARION SAYS. M. Camille Flammation, th.e distin- guished French astronomer, says on the same subject: -"In this century predictions concerning the end of the world have several times been as- sociated with comets. It was announc- ed that the cornet of Bela, for example, would intersect the world s orbit on October 29, 1832, which it did, as pre - dieted. There was great excitement. Once more the end of things was de- clared at hand. Humanity was threat - wield. What was aping to happen? The orbit -that is to say,. the path of the earth -had been confounded with the earth itself. The latter was not to reach that point of its orbit tra- versed by the comet until November 30, more than a month after the cornet s passage, and the latter was at no time to be within 20,000,000leagues of - us. Once more we got off with a good fight/' • • Le his entertaining book " La Fin du Monde' M.

"These two heavenly bodies, the earth and the comet," he writes, "will meet like two trains rush- ing headlong upon each other with re- sistless momentum, as if impelled to mutual destruction by an insatiable rage. • But in the present instance the veloeity of • shock will be 865 times greater ttlia.n that of two express trains having each a speed of 100 kilo- metres per hour.' PROFESSOR FA.LB'S PROPHECY. The most extraordinary prediction in regard. to the end of the world that has been made in recent years comes from Professor Falb, the eminent Anstrian meteorologist. According to him a comet will strike, the earth on November 13, 1899, 'and • universal chaos and dissolution will be the in- evitable result.

They admit, that the night of November 13, 1899, will be remarkable for the reason that the heavens will then be ablaze with a magnificent shower of stars, but they point out that a similar display of celestial fireworks regularly occurs every thirty-three years, and there is . no reason for supposing that the spec - Imola in 1899 will be more glorious or more ominous than it was in 1883 and 1866.

By almost constant overcovering, day and night, for successive genera- tions, the skin has, by degeneration, adapted itself to its reduced' require- ments. From birth to senile death we are much overcovered. That a full and vigorously developed skin is a disideratum, will be generally tonced- ed. The tendency is for ours to de- generate to a tissue papet consistency. The exquisite structure of the skin at once indicates its importance as ORS of the organs of the body, t A homely showing of that functional power which can be developed in the skin is indicated by the story of the Indian. • Being almost naked, and , yet apparently quite ocinfortable in inclement weather, he was asked why he did not seem to suffer arid be made ill by the exposure, he replied: "White man's face no pain no sick. Indian an face." By this excessive covering -dir peripheral nerves are too intensely im- pressed by caloric changes, dur cepil- lary blood, system too feebly and in- completely developed to battle mosb successfully with heat, disease and traumatic impressions. Ito musoular fat, and connective tissue substance are all too deficient and defective for our greatest comfort and welfare. All its functional powers have been re-, duced. Yet seldom is heard a try to develop the skin. Children Cry for AST _ SUSPICIOUS CORDIALITY, Housekeeper -Poor fell ow 1 'Y ou want something to eat. How ivould a shop snit yoti ?
