Teely Fi,olden's eehool fete was at- tended by the elite of the neighbor- stood and wee the very perfection of Ouch en entertainment. The day was beautifulli$ One, with a bright, carni sun, a sweet cdoroua wind, a deep blue pity, and the atmosphere so clear that the view all nvunil the reentry was magnifteent. Every detail of that y ease back. to Dolores. lifer father derfulln. The weary look paaaad from it and a light that made it dazzlingly levelly came into it, wben Lady '+'Selden Advanced to her, walking by the aide of the bandsomest man Ase ever ro membered to have seen. "Miss de Ferree," elle Bald, "Sir Karl Al'aninore wishes for the plea- sure of an introduction, to you." Isola looked up and saw a laughing debonair face, bright as:a May morn- ing,, with keen blue eyes and a perfeot r mouth, The young Baronet was tall and well made,with a head proudly mewled, and nometbing of a soldierly a bearing, his whole appearance giving one the impression that be enjoyed life amazingly; Lola saw all this at a glance; and her heart went out to him, never to. ' be her own again. She knew nothing of the passionate depths of bar own nature, She believed that all sho oar- ed for was to merry well wbereaa she was capable of forming tbe strongest attachment and of sacrificing every- thing Jn the world for the sake of love alone. It is not often that great passions, great riches, and great vices co -exist with so small and mean a fault as vanity, but in the complex oharaoter of Lola de Fergus they went togeth- er. Looking up into the handsome face smiling into hers, she forgot her- self, forgat to wonder how she looked, and let her heart go out to Sir Karl. She forgot Dolores and everything. She was conscious only of one great desire to be with biro her life long. He talked to her gayly enough. He was always in high spirits, always full of vivacity -the man above all others to charm a girl like her by his man- ner and his bright unflagging gayety. Gradually the little circle fell away and he was standing alone with her. Would you like to walk as far as the river?" he asked; and she answer- ed that it would give her great plea- sure to do so. le tired and not very well, and Ma e de Ferree offered to take ho ,th Lola. The ezurrlage; called a /nee Cliffs, beldame de Ferrari look ing very distinguee and arietoorati in her velvet costume, and Lola very levelly in a dress of some riele silk ma - bowie' trimmed with lace. Her first eager•breathless question was— "Do you, like my dress? Now, Dole ores, do not speak hastily, but look at 1t, and tell me candidtly if you like it." It was impossible not to like it, the cobtume with its rich hues was so admirably suited to the dark glowing beauty of the wearer; and Dolores s praised it highly. With an air of in- tense rollef Loki sat book in the Car - ria e. t3 "I am glad. I must own that flock. ed' forward with some little anxiety to what you would say." `i Her critical eyes noted every detail. of Dolores's dress, which was white, e with picturesque dashes of -blue— quite different from her own splen- did attire, but far more elegant and becoming. " She evidently goes in ror slmplfi- ofty," said'Lola to herselif,='the very opposite of myself. So mach the bet- ter i" Dolores remembered how anxiously Madame de Ferran bad looked at her daughter as she said to her— " eth, Lola, if you wound think a little more of serious things, and loss vain nonsense l" To which• Lola retorted with a west smile that a leoture was hard- y appropriate on such a day. Dolores walled the pained expression on ma- ame's face. "I would not .bave spoken to my other in that fashion," she said to erself, Of all pretty scenes, a sohori treat on a bright summer day is perhaps one of the most charming, and Lady Fielden had spared neither expense car trouble to make hers as pleasant as passible. The two beauties atlracter! nommen amount of attention, They were in- t' deed the queens of the fete; and opin- ions were divided about them. Some of the men admired tbe fair Dolores, oth- ers the dark glowing beauty of Lola de Arras. All kinds of fancied names were given to them, "The Ease and the Lily," " The York and the Lancaster Roses,' were amongst the number. It was unanimously. declared, however, that two more beautiful girls could not be seen. They had been there more than an beer before Sir Karl ALlanmore ap- peared; and that hour bed not been entirely satisfactory to Lola. It was true that she had been surrounded by admirers, but she was eminently practical—none of tbese were eligible men. She had been longing in her heart to see Lord Rbysworth or Sir Karl, She was looking her handsomest and best wheal at length the Baronet ar- rived. She was standing before a group of tall fuchsias, which with their crimson and purple bells form- ed a pleasing background for her. The rich dress of silk swept the ground and every line of her graceful figure was shown to advantage by the well - fitting costume. On her dark beauti- ful face there was the faintest sha- dow of fatigue, which softened it won - t• They went away together; and the world looked quite different to Lola de Ferree. It seemed to be brighter and better. Everything appeared con- leer de rose while he was talking to her. She was saying to herself that she should not now take any trouble to cultivate Lord Ithysworth's ac- quaintance ; o-quaintance; tbat she was quite con- tent with the attentions of one whom bhe had hitherto considered us second on the list. They walked down to the bank of the river. "I ane quite a stranger to this neighborhood," said Sir Karl; "but I must say I admire it. It is pictur- esque, well wooded, with plenty of wa- ter. How beautiful this river is? Do i you know my place at all, Miss de 1 Ferran?" j "I know It well,?" she replied, sec- retly vowing to herselif, if it were in any wap possible, she would one day be mistress of Scarsdale. "I base not yet bad time to see much of my neighbors," he continued ; " but I shall hope to visit Beaulieu soon." "1 am sure mamma will be pleased to see you." She spoke demurely enough, but the flash of her dark eyes expressed more than any words could convey. " May I hope far a welcome rrom you as well?" added Sir Karl, laughing with the gay half assurance that suit- ed him so well, "I cannot promise that," she repli- ed. eplied. "You will have to deserve it." " I will do my hest," he said, more gravely, He was not that most despicable of all creatures -a male flirt; ho was neither a coxcomb nor a dandy; but he could no more held admiring, lik- ing and talking to pretty girls than The Symptoms and Dangers of the Deadly Epidemic Which is Droving so Many to Beds of Sickness ---Effective Treatment Described.

She was so completely transformed that he was startled by her loveli- nose, " Which 1" she said. "It shows what strangere;we are that yens should ask me such a question.

"We have poetay and romance also In• Englund," remarked Sir Karl. "Yes, but your poetry is all sad, and your romances are tragedies," she replied. " Think of the grand old cathedral cities of France; think of the felr rivers and the noble moun- tains; think of the azure skies, the vines and olive -trees I Who could compare this misty, gloomy /and with bright, fair Prance1" She spoke with soca enthusiasm that Sia' Karl was interested. "You speak eloquently," he said. "Because I love France," she an- swered. " As between the lands, so between the people—there seems to be no comparison. Hare in England your people are dense, dull, phlegma- tic, cold and proud. Your peasantry are boors; there is no politeness In the whore nation, unless it Is am- ongst the higher classes. In Franoe every man is more or less a gentle- man, even the artisans and laborers are polite and courteous. If you hap- pen to stumble- against an Englfish- man on a narrow foot -path, he con.. siders himself insulted, and revenges himself with an imprecation or a scowl; if the same thing happens to a Frenchman, he is so courteous, so polite, that you almost seem to have done him a favor." "It may be so," be answered, piqued by her words. " But you cannot deny to us Englishmen two great virtues,. honesty and bravery." "I do not often road the nenespa- e rs," she said, " but I could judge best by the pollee reports. The Lit- tle I have read has not given me an exalted idea of Englishmen." "You are prejudiced," be remarked, smiling, "Am I? I sball hope to meet some Englishmen who mill remove the pre- judioe," "I hope I shall be one of the sappy band," he said laughingly. "I shall do my best ; and I shall say to my- self that in trying to please you Ism rendering a national service." " There is one thing I must say about England," she coutinued• "It is a moat hospitable nation—indeed you ane the most hcapltnbla people in the world. Strangers come toyou from every land—kings driven from their thrones, pears from their ancestral homes, all grades of political refugees. England, like a kindly matron, opens her arms to all, bids all weloome, treats all generously, never gives up olf those who ng to her, or who seek to hide their wounds in her bosom." "I am glad you allow us even that numb praise," ,he said calmly ; then after a few moments he exclaimed suddenly: "Look 1 What a pretty pic- ture, Miss de Ferree! Who is that— that young lady, I mean, in white and blue?" Site looked up with sudden misgiv- ing, and saw that he was attentively watching Dolores. A sudden chill came over bei, and her dark brilliant face grew pale. "Who is that?" repeated Sir Karl; and he had some reason for speaking warmly. "How oan you abuse even our sunlight," ho continued, " when it fall's upon such pictures as that ?" ' In an opening where trees met over, her head stood a young girl. She had been talking to some of the children,' but at that moment she had turned t her head, so as to obtain a complete view of the river ; end it was then that t Ste Karl's eyes rented on her. The young Baronet stood for afew moments quite breathless with admin.' d alien at the delicate loveliness of the, girl's face. Lola heard him draw a g deep breath; but ho remained anent.: She would have given much not to nnswer his question. She could not sn help owning to herself—enamored as ho was of bee' own Iovellne.ss—that o had Belden] seen such a beautiful _ t rcturo as this on which , she gazed t th anything but pleasure. But she, ° as compelled to speak, for Sir Karl's yes naught hers with an inquiry in t em that could not be baffled, til "That," she seed, is Miss Cliefden-, lores Cliefden; have you not beard her?"

" Then we shall agree," she said, "for I think beauty --great personal beau- ty—the highest of gifta and the most enviable." He stopped abruptly and spoke al- most eagerly. Ah, no ; you misunderstand mel I do not mean that," he said. "I admire beauty, perhaps no man more; but I neves eaid, and never thought, and neves" could think that it was the highest earthly gift.

"As' you know her, Miss de Ferran, will you introduce me to her 1" She could not refuse, yet she did not wish to consent.

Grandmother's Way. Grandma is elle of those who can mix and flavor and bake to perfeo- tdon without the aid of a cook -book. She wap born to her profession, not made dor it 'by practise and discipline. But alae for her who hopes to copy grandma's recipes, for they do not exist, more in her own brain, and tbey could never be transferred to paper. Not so long ago one of the grand- daughters went over to the old house. ,with pencil and paper to take down some 'of the most valuable rules, to make a cook -book of her own, and present copies to all the nieces. Grandma was delighted to be asked. She sat down, smoothed her . apron, folded her plump hands and said; "Yes, dear, yes, I ahondd admire'to give you my receipts, every one of .em,. "Well begin with the simplest," said Dora, in a businesslike tone. "Apple sauce, now. Yours is better tban anybody's. How do you make it i" "Well," said grandma, genially, "I peel my apples mice, and quarter 'em and put 'em on the stove, with a little water.' "How many apples?" inquired Dora. "How math water?" That was a poser. Grandams looked at her in real distress. "Dear me, child," sedd Cho, "I can't tell your that to save my life! Why, just take 'ons to the pump and pump a mite on 'em." "Well," said Dora, trying to ap- proach the subject by a different road, "sugar, now. How muoh of that to a quart saucepan full of ap- ple?" ' Grandma looked at her benignant- ly. "I just take the sugar -box over to the stove," said she, "and put on -,well what's required. Yes, dear, with my little a000p I" The apple sauce was given up for graver enatteas;lbut there, also, lurk- ed defeat. When it came to bums, grandma put in currants, but—how many?" "Ola, I don't know, dear," sant she, easily. "Not many. Here and there a traveller." Lamb broth ebe simmered "till It was done." "When the /goodness is all out o' be swat, child," said sho, somewhat pityingly. "Dear me, you can tell bat!" Sour milk gingerbread is one of her masterpieces. Yet how much soda see oho use to a cup of milk? "F,nooegh to Sweeten it," dear," says rattans, "and make it rise real good, You'll know when you try it," The interview was given up.

This, even when cooked, is not tit for food, ea . it is hard and irritating, and Is said by good authorities to possess astringent qualities which counteract the bane- fioial results obtained from the fruit itself. Fruit skims are designed for the protection of the fleshy part or pulp from.insects. Dried apples are the MOST whale- somme, and for mane purposes the most convenient. In the dried fruit we have preserved the best qualities, and the natural water, lost bly evapera- tiom, is replaced by the soaking in fresh, cold water. The time requir- ed tosoften or fill them out to their .original bulk is from eight to twelve hours. When cooking them do not add the sugar until done, and not as much as necessary for fresh fruit, as a rule. Same like the addition of a little lemon or orange peel. They require stow cooking. The approved methods are to either bake fresh apples with skins re- moved or stew them. Oontrary to general belief, the apples owned fn their skins aro not considered whole- some. If the apples are very tart re- move the core and fill the center with sugar. There. is more then one way of stewing the apple, using the term In its broadest sense.

Sometimes they are very severe, anal last fora whale day,. or even two or three days. Why do women suffer more from headache bham men? It is a fault of their own, or of the conditions of their lives? No doubt the headaches of women have many different causes. One of them le dile feet that their lives are far more indoors, and in an air less pure. The effect of this is that they take in lees oxygen to their lungs to oxi- dize the food they eat, and they al - leo throw. off less curhonio acid and other poisonous products of broken - dawn tissue, so that there is an ace em,muletiau of these substances in their eystete which poisons the nerve waters. The result is a headaalle. An,ol:her pause of headache is the frequent attack of acute indigestion This may Dome from over -eating, food not suited to the system, from over -exercise or too little exercise, or, from too little sleep. Tho effort is about the name aa iln the other ease, the poisans genormted in the diges- tive tract are absorbed into the blood and attest the nerve centers, pausing hoodaabe. Nine teethe of all the headaches of women come from these causes and from the exhaustion, of the nervous system, from over working, night watching, tic. They would dis- appear by removing file tenses. When a headache comes an the thing to be dame is to get the poison mit of the system as quickly as pos- sible.

The Chinese carefully avoid being taught in the rain. They have asup- erstition that drops of rain falling on the head breed vermin, which, with their very long hair, is very difficult to get rid of. But they are equally careful not to wet Weir feet. This latter precaution is not due entirely to the feet that the soles of their shoes are made of pasteboard and liable to be 'injured by soaking, but to a belief that soreness of the feet is brought about by getting them damp. The Chinese fear of ram has some- times had a striking eftoet on mobs and armies.

The suspenders are fastened perma- nently at tbe back and are crossed on the individual's back, brought over the shoulders, and each has a ring in the end which is hooked into the curved wire, as shown, thus suspending the sack to the picker. The bottom of the sack as shown in Fig. 1 is open and contains two rings at the bottom. These rings are connected when in use to hooks at upper front rim of the sack, as shown in Fig. 2, where the picking sack Is ready for business. When full, the picker lowers the sack Into the box or barrel, unhooks the flap, and the apples gently slide from the bottom of the sack into the package, thus preventing all bruises, President Wellhouse has made 27 of these sacks for use this year.
