XII. - 1'
Miss Northwick called upon Annie dur-
ing the week, with excuses for her delay
and for coming alone. 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."

Things worth Knowing.
The free use of borax on your shelves will
free your pantry and kitchen of ants and
cockroaches.
If parsley be eaten with onions; or a salad
containing onions, the odour of the onions
will not affect the breath. •,The sprigs of
parsleyshould be eaten as you would
celery...
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. Take a small
piece Of court plastenturn your glove wrong
side out, and neatly apply the plaster over
the rent or rip, having first drawn the parts
of the glove together. If the tear is not a
very large one it may be repaired. in this
manner, but if it is a large rent it should be
nicely sewn and the court piaster -applied in
the manner described. If mended in this
way the glove will last much longer, as it
seldom tears out again in the same place.
There is no way of making the face thin
without doing the same for the rest of the
body, except massage. You can do this for
yourself if you will use patience. Tap and

A tablespoonful of powdered borax dis-
solved in the bath is said to be very invigor-
ating, also soften the water so that it will
feel like velvet.
A good remedy for toothache is to miX

• A physician says that the most common
headache to which women are martyrs pro-
ceeds from indigestion, and should be cured
by fasting and sitting with the feet ie hot
water for a few minutes before going to
bed.
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. Tulle answers the same effect, but
the first suspicion of damp in the air an-
nihilates it.
In all wise commerce payment, large or
smell, should be made over the counter. If
you cannot pay for a thing do not buy it. If
you cannot get paid for it do not sell it. So
will you have calm days and drowsy nights,
all the good businels you now have and none
of the bad.
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.

" Now look here'sir, I want no more of

What is Home?
A prize wee offered recently by London
Tid Bits for the best answer to the question,
"What is Home ?" Here are a few of the
answers which were received:
Home is the blossom of which heaven is
the fruit.
A world of strife shut out, a world of love

• The only spot on earth where the faults
and failings of humanity are hidden under a

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.

• 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.

"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 ?"

The Care of Watches.
• HOW TO HANDLE AND WEAR THEM.
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. And don't try to re-
eamiterwin

gulata the watch yourself. 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

The History .of ;Five Years and
its Happy Outcome.
,
"Five years ago I was, very sick, and have re-
mained in a feeble eindition ever eince. During the
time I had one hemorrhage 'of the stomach, which
left me in the poorest health possible. My heart
and nerves were weak, consequently I suffered trom
extreme nervousnese, violent fluttering of the heart,
weak, sinking feelink, shottness of breath, numbness
of the hands, etc. 1
A short time ago I was advised to try Milburn's
Heart and Nerve Pills, ancil went to John A. Barr's
drug store to get a box. Oh obtaining them I start.
ed their use, and derived so much benefit that I non.
tinned using them. I have now taken a little over
three boxes, and an pleased to say they hat% im-
proved my general health, atrengthened the 'entire
nervous system, and retrieved my heart troubles; I
l
do not now have the Set ring of the heart, weak,
sinking feeling, or shortnee of breath. They have
restored healthy circulate of the blood and remov-
ed the numbneu in my bands. I am far better than
I have been since I Bret tiok siek, and Ibis with
pleaeure I recommend the tiee of these pills to any-
one suffering as I did with heart or netve troublee.

"1 have a fox -terrier named Jessie, and I
have spent a great deal of money in re-
wards for her, for she has been lost a good
many times. She has a soul."
Jessie was a fox -terrier given to hi aField
by Manager Will J. Davis, of Chicago;
about ten years ago, and was called Jessie
Bartlett Davis, after Mr. Davis' talented
wife. • Jessie soon became a great pet in the
family. A strong bond of affection existed
between Jeseie, Mr. Field,i and his eldesp
daughter, who is now Mary French Field,
the reader and public entertainer, and who
inherited her father's love for pets.

GENTLEMEN,—I hardly know how hest to
ezpress my appreciation of your valuable
rheumatic remedy, Phrenoline. My son
Gordon, who is 9 years old, has been a suf-
ferer for the past two years ; was so bad at
times that he had to be carried about on a
mattrass,; was attended by two city, doe -
tors apparently without the slightest bene-
fit; spent 10 days at Caledonia Springs,
came home with no marked improvement ;
took three bottles of a Homeopathic remedy
now being exteesively advertised, which
dichnot relieve him in the lesst. 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,
