She seemed to have intentions of being polite; but she con- stantly betrayed her want of interest in An- nie, and disappointed an expectation of re- finement which her physical delicacy awak- ened. She asked her how she ever came to take up the Social Union'and answered for her that of course it had the attraction of the theatricals, and went on to talk of her sister's par- t in them. The relation of the Northwick family to the coming -entertain- ment, and an impression of frail mottled wrists and high, thin cheeks, and an absence of modelling under affluent drapery, was the main effect of Miss Northwick's visit. When Annie returned it she met, the younger sister, whom she found a great beauty. She seemed very cold, and of a hauteur which she subdued with difficulty; but she was more consecutively polite than her sister, and Annie watched with fascina- tion her turns of the head, her qiovements of leopard swiftness and elasticity, the changing lights of her complexion the curves of her fine lips, the fluttering of her thin nostrils. A very new basket phaeton stood glitter- ing at Annie's door when she got home, and Mrs. Wilmington put her head out of the open parlor window. "How d'ye do, Annie?" she drawled in her charming voice. • "Won't you come in? i You -see I'm n possession. I've just got my new phaeton, and I drove up at once to crush you with it. fent it a beauty ?" "You're too late, Lyra," said Annie. "I've just come from the Northwicks, and another crushing beauty has got in ahead of your phaeton." "Oh, poor Annie I" Lyra began to laugh with agreeable intelligence. "Do come in and tell me about it.' . Why is that girl going to take part in the theatricals? She doesn't care to please any one, does she?" • I didn't know that people took part in theatricale for that, Annie. I thought they wanted to please themselves. and mortify others. I do. But then I may be different. Perhaps Miss Northwick wants to please Mr.. Brandreth." • "Do you mean it, Lyra ?" demanded An- nie, arrested on her threshold by the charm of this improbability. " Well, I don't know; they're opposites. But, upon second thoughts, you needn't come in, Annie. I want you to take a drive with me and try my new . phaeton," said Lyra, coming out. Annie now looked at it with that irreso- lution of hers, and Lyra commanded, "Get right in. We'll go down to the works. You've never met my husband yet; have you, Annie ?" "No, I haven't Lyra.. I've always just missed him somehow. He seems to have been perpetually just gone to town, or not got back." "‘ Well, he's really at home now. And. I don't mean at the house, which isn't home to him, but the works. You've never seen the works either, have you?" "No, I ha-ven't." "Well, then, we'll just go round there, and kill two birds with one stone. I ought to show off my new phaeton to Mr. Wil- mington first of all; he gave it to me.It would be kind of eonjugal, or filial, or some- thing. You know Mr. Wilmington and I are not exactly contemporaries, Annie ?" "1 heard he was somewhat your senior,' said Annie, reluctantly. Lyra laughed. "Well, I always say we were born in the same century, anyway." They came round into the region of the shops, and Lyra checked her pony in front' of her husband's factory. It was not im- posingly large, but, as Mrs. Wilmington caused. Annie to observe, iti was as big as the hat shops' and as ugly as the shoe shops. The structure trembled with the opera- tion of itis- industry, and, as they. mounted . the wooden steps to the open outside door, an inner door swung ajar dor a moment and let out a roar mingled of the hum and whirl and clash of machinery and fragments of voice, borne to them on a whiff of warm, greasy air. "Of course it &el smell very nice," -said Lyra. She pushed open the door of the office, and, finding its first apartment empty, led the way' with Annie to the inner room, where her husband sat writing at a table. " George, I want to introduce you to Miss Kilburn. "Oh, yes, yes, yes," said her husband, scrambling to his feet and coming round to greet Annie: He was a small man, very bald, with a serious and wrinkled forehead,, and rather austere brows; but his mouth had a furtive curl at one corner, which,with the habit he had of touching it there with the tip of hie tongue, made Annie think of a cat that had been at the cream. "I've been hoping to call with Mrs. Wilmington to pay my respects; but Pee been away a great deal this season, and—and— Were all veryihappy to have you home again, Miss Kilburn. I've often heard my wife speak of yoar old days together at Hat - bore." • HE HURON EXPOSITOR• 1.E.O • -Our Stock of Groceries -Will be found complete as usual.

A leaf that has become too stale for the table may be freshened by wrapping it in a clean cloth and dipping it in boiling water for about 30 seconds. Then remove the cloth and bake the loaf for 10 minutes in a slow oven. Stale breakfast rolls may be treated in the same way. The cheapest and simplest way to cool a -room when the hot weather is full upon us is to wet a cloth of any size—the larger the better—and suspend it in the place you want to cool. Let the room be well ventil- ated, and the temperature will sink from ten to twelve degrees in less than an hour. Kid gloves will rip despite our efforts to keep them in good condition.

If mended in this way the glove will last much longer, as it seldom tears out again in the same place.

Often a fretting, crying baby may be soothed and induced to sleep by laying a' soft handkerchief over the tired, tearful eyes. Tie the handkerchief slightly at one side of the little head, so there will be no knot to make the rest uncomfortable. The sailor hat is often stiff in. the straw, but you ladies who cannot wear it -under ordinary circumstances will find that a lace veil draped round the brim will work won- ders.

Sleeping -rooms may be cooled by placing in the centre of each a tub two-thirds full of cool, or better, ice water. This will absorb the heat of the room in a few hours, and will be found particularly helpful where there are children. If the heat continues dur- ing the night the changing of the water will preserve an even temperature in the room. A new horseshoe has been invented in Berlin that possesses several advantages over the old system. It is made from plates of paper saturated -with oil or essence of turpentine to make it waterproof; each sheet is stuck together by a special glue made from essence of turpentine, clay, lin- seed oil, and other substances. The nail holes are made while the paper is' wet, and then the shoe is subjected to a strong pres- sure by a hydraulic press. When perfectly dry the shoe can be trimmed and filed as if of iron. It is a common practice to strike a horse with a whip every time he shies at anything on the roadside. Nothing, worse could be done. The next time he will not only be afraid of- the object, but of the Whip also, • and by a little training in that way he will soon be confirmed in the habit of shying and scaring at everything. We have known a number of good horses almost ruined by this senseless practice. The better way is to let him have a little time to look at the object, and as soon as it learns that it is not going to hurt him he will pay no attention to it. 8 CUR.6' FOR DROPSY.

CAMPBELLFORD, (Special) August 91h.— An unlooked for and remarkable recovery from advanced stage of dropsy is just made public here. It is the case of Mrs. John Weese, wife of the widely known veteran stage proprietor, whose life, for months, had been despaired of. From the accumulated water peculiar to this disease she became so helpless as to be unable to drag one foot after the other. She now appears on the street and says she is as well as ever in her life. And claims that after all other means had failed, she thanks Dodd's Kidney Pills for her unexpected cure. • Serious Defect. • A hungry pedestrian had put up for the night at a wayside inn, and found the sup- per rather scanty, the most substantial part of it being a single sausage. With a fault-finding look and gesture he called the innkeeper to his aide. "Is that the best You can do in the way of a sausage ?" asked' the traveller. " Why, now," said the host, "isn't it good ?" "Oh, it' good enough, perhaps, but the ends don't suit me." "The ends What's the matter with them ?" ' " Too near together," said the hungry man, and the innkeeper took the hint. a What He Made. • • Drew on Sight. COrnmerciallaw terms are not entirely safe at all times. John E. Watrous deputy United States marshal for the southern dis- trict of Kansas, sends in this story: Mart Hoover, years ago, when Kansas was not the cultivated commonwealth it has since become, had sent. a consignment of corn to a commission merchant in Kansas City. The merchant telegraphed, telling the consignor: "Your -credit f $27 40. Draw on me at sight." But Hoover was mad. He had expected his money, and none came. He felt he had been duped, and he treasured up the griev- ance. One time, about six weeks later, the com- mission man came to Hoover's town, got out of the bus, and startecl to walk down street. Hoover saw him and instantly drew his re- volver and fired. His eye was fairly good. The bullet cut away the merchant's necktie and unfastened his collar. Then Hoover put up his gun. "That's expensive shootine" said he,"but I reckon you're as sorry as I am." ".What do you mean?" demanded the town constable, arresting the gun man. "He - told me to," said Hoover, sur- prised. "Told you to ?" demanded the white cheeked city man. "1 never did anything of the kind." "You did," said Hoover, and drawing out the telegram he read: "Draw on me at sight." " I done it," he said. • ° A Useful Clerk. "That mine in Tuolumne county is cost- ing me a mint of money," said a local capi- talist to one of his employees. "1 wish you would figure around and see if you •can't make a saving somewhere. If you can I'll raise your salary $50 a month: " But suppose I ce,n't make a saving of $50 a month ?" inquired the young man. "Well; I tried to figure it out myself, and Ihan't find where I can save a cent. If you can you are worth $50 a month more." All right, sir. I'll look into it." • • The young man went over all the ac- counts, but he could not find where he could cut down a single expense. Finally it occurred to him that he was drawing $25 a month for acting as secretary of the mining company. "I've found a place where you can save $25 a month," he informed his employer the next day. " I've put off that salary of $25 a month we've been paying the secretary for doing nothing." He got his raise. • Prof. B—, who conducts the clinic of nervous diseases at — Medical College, of Chicago, is himself a very nervous soil easily irritated man. Recently, at the *se of a long clinic, when teacher and students were well tired out, the assistant rushed in and asked to have exhibited a very interesting case which had just arrived. "Well, be quick about it," said the doc- tor, and. proceeded to emphasize some pre- vious remarks concerning the influence of occupation upon nervous conditions, which point he proposed to illustrate in the CaSe to be preeented-. The patient, an awkward Swede, having been hustled into a chair, was now con- fronted by Prof. B— with the admonition to be brief and accurate _ in his replies, as time was limited. "Now, sir, what do you do?" he com- menced. "Aw am not vera well." " No. I say, what do you do ?" "Oh yes. Aw verk." "Yes, I know; but what kind of work ?" "Oh, eet es hard verk." • • Stephen.

There are a great many little superstitions connected with the handling and,wearing of watches, as with everything not conunonly understood. How many owners of time- pieces are very wary about leaving them with a watchmaker, lest some of the Jewels may be abettacted ? If these people only knew that the most precious jewels in the ordinary watch ate worth about eight cents apiece, and only about forty cents a gross unset, their alarm weuld vanish; but they would alsolook upon their watches with a great deal leas of mystic veneration and awe. Another common belief is that turning the hands backward will injure the works. How, they do not know—but in some my- sterious manner that mortals cannot com- prehend. La fact, the only style of watch which could have been injured in this way is the old English "verge" escapement, modelled after fourteenth century clocks— watches which were useful for almost any purpose except keeping time. • A watch is a complicated piece of mechan- ism—the least elaborate have 150 separate parts, some over 1,000, every part nicely adjusted to its delicate functions. And the movements never stop, unless the watch's owner neglects the important precaution of winding it, or, on the contrary, is so very solicitous about its welfare that he attempts to remedy the defects of itsnanatomy by sur- gical operations with a penknife, a pin, a lead pencil, or some other instrument as in- appropriate. Wind your watch regularly. That is the first great rule for watch wearers. In the morning is probably the beet time, so as to have the greatest tension of the spring dur- ing the day, when the works are -most liable to shaking and hard usage. Have your watch cleaned and oiled regularly. The delicate balanee wheel makes 150,000,000 vibrations during a year. The best oils will gum and clog where there is such continued friction. Keep your watch pocket clean. Don't let lint and fine,dust accumulate in the cor- ners. No matter how well the cases may close, the subtle dust will work its way through soon enough. Chief of all, curb your curiosity. Don't open the cases and inspect the Works. They are there yet, even though you have not seen them since yesterday. If anything should occur to cause them to stop, don't try to find out yourself what it is. A watchmaker will charge you nothing for an accurate diagnosis, which involves no pos- sible further injury.

You may do it successfully, but the chances are against you. In fact, the chances are that the watch may not need regulating. at all. All watches, except the best, run faster in win- ter, slower in summer. Yet some men set their watches with every clock they see,and move the regulator, too, if they can pry the, eases open. ' • The Decline of Trout -Fishing in Scotland. • All classes of Scotsmen from the peer to the peasant, from Shetland to the Solway, are devoted disciples of Izaak Welton'whe- ther their object is the capture of the lordly salmon of the pool or ,the luring elf the more humble trout from the tiny streaMlet. But the law does not lend the same protection in the one case as in the other. The salmon is protected by innumerable acts ' of Parlia- ment, Scots and British; for upwards of five centuries he has been the particular favorite of the law. The trout in Scotland, however, has been -practically left to work out his own salvation for himself; and the result has been his gradual deterioration .both in numbers and in size. It is a matter of common knowledge that trout fishing in Scotland has gone down greatly of late years, though it must be admitted that it is not easy to prove the fact; Owing to the scarcity of genuine records of takes. The reasons given for the falling off are various. One of the commonest is that of the pollu- tion of the -rivers, owing to sewerage and manufactories. Certainly a great deal of harm has been done in this way 6 the trout; but it is doubtful if the damage has been as much as might have been expected. It is very seldom that one sees a dead trout in a river. That would be chiefly in the sum- mer time, when one could hardly help see- ing them if they were poisoned. The fact is that pollution does net so mueli kill the fish as drive them to the bottom, where, as a rule, they wont take. The lamount of water, too, is much less in many of the streams, owing to the water having been taken from them for the purpose of the water supply of the larger cities. This is very muck the case in Midlettain and Pee- blesshire ;, and the new Talla Scheme for Edinburgh may damage the tributaries of the Tweed. Another cause for the gradual deterioration in number of the trout caught .by individual anglers is to be found in the over -fishing that takes place, especially in the streams in the south of Scotiand. That is due greatly to the increase of ' late years in railway facilities. But the chief reason is that there is no proper protection for trout afforded by the law, and this ought to be rectified as soon as possible. otherwise there will soon be no trout left fon anglers to capture,—Blackwood. • An Old Farmer's Funny' Hen. "Hens are funny critters," sus an old farmer. "and I have one on my farm that is about the funniest of the lot. A few months ago she took a liking for an old brindle, cow of mine. At firet all she did was to go out to pasture with the cow, but after a while she began to jump on the cow's back. For a long time the cow resented this, and shook the hen off. But it did eot do any good; the hen hopped on again, until at last, in sheer despair, the cow accepted the situation. She was probably tile more M- t clined to do so when she discov red, as tithe soon did, that Biddy, as much a possible, kept insects from annoying her. In fact she even went further than that ; for when she discovered that the cow would like to have her back scratched, she scratched it in a way to make the cow very happy. As a result of this the cow soon began to enjoy the companionship of the hen; and now, when the hen gets ()nor a while to eat, old Brindle is evidently uneasy until she comes back again." 1 1 • Eugene Field's Dog.

I was be- ginning to give up all hope of his recovery, when by chance I mentioned the case to a friend who strongly advised inc to give •Threnoline a trial. • I did so, with the result that When my boy had taken only half a bottle he was able to get on to his bicycle and ride like any other boy around the block. I certainly feel that I cannot say too • much in praise of your medicine, and shall do all I can to make known its value to others. Yours very sincerely, (Signed) REUBEN CLARK. Sold in Seaforth by J.
