Miss Barbara ,.Burr Was a talloree. ss; ''who m ode buttonholes and till sh d' Tests. �.,he. was neither yonng: nor charmingg. She was, one a those sol i - tary dwellers s.crowded citywho 9Per4 to have.a sdeoinln on no net She went daily to ; her work, .rain Or ashless; she carne nightly' borne to..the solitary room, where thercent worth of kindlingslays read , for ;oion tronnder the /wayylittle tea-1pttl when she' heard the cobbler s' sick! baby cry below stairs she would go 4:19NPn,to take it for a little while, to give the plother a: chance to prepare supper for her husband, She made savory little messes for the sick rrl iR the corner room; she toiled up o;: the - garret to tell suories to the washerweenan s little girls, when their inother was late and they were afraid of the dark. "There's nobody belonging to me," said Barbara. "So it seems almost as if I.'d ought to belong to everybody." "Why"didn't you ever get married?" said the washerwoman's eldest little girl; one day, to her. "Nobody ever asked me," said Bar- bara,' "And I guess they never will lno'W," ,53; when the minister read out the Thanksgiving notice, Barbara Burr listened, and thought of the many appyhousehold.meetitigs which would hinge on these words. "It snakes no difference to me," Bald the solitary old maid. "I haven't been asked out to Thanksgiving sinceAunt Debby died, twenty years ago. But I should like to have a little Thanksgiv- ing of my own, and I will," said she. "I'!1 ask Crisp, the cobbler, and his wife and the children,—and Sarah Pot- ter, that has had no work since she got up from fever; and Mr Plin, the violin- ° ist, that has not bad any one come to see him since he had rheumatism in the fingers,—and Uncle Peter, the pea- • nut man. That will be eight counting me,—and my room isn't a large one. But I think I could make room for lame Katy Severn, that' knits rag dolls at a dollar a dozen! And there's luck in an odd number, too. Nine, I won- der if I can afford a dinner for nine persons? One wants a little something out of the common for Thanksgiving ,. D"She went home and counted her savings with careful exactitude. • ' There ain't such a very great deal," said she, "but i;always was a good manager. I can bake a couple ofpies, and stew up a few cranberries, aridbuy some red apples and oranges, and a quart or so of chestnuts, if they aren't trio dear. And a pair of small turkeys' would be better economy than one large one. It's 'the - size that costs. .And I couldn't put more than a five - pound turkey into my oven, either. Dear me, 1 haven't cooked a turkey since I was a girl at home, before fa- ther. died. And that reminds we that I must' ask the jewelers' clerk that has. hired the top room. I heard him say yesterday he didn't know a soul in the city, and he's a dreadful regular at- endant at church. I remember how onesome I was when first I came ere." Barbara's heart grew light within her as she thought all these things over. The raw November wind lost its chill, the frozen air seemed less in- clement, and the gray streets less deso- late when she trudged cheeeily home, while she had this pet project to turn over in her mind. And two days before Thanksgiving, Mise Burr went down to the butcher's, determined to drive the best bargain in turkeys that she could. For the little party of invited guests had so widened and expanded itself that, when the other preparations were ready,'there was but a slender fund left for the purchase of the central element. "And I'm told they're up to twenty- ' t cents a pound,' said Miss Burr. "Twenty-eight cents! If it wasn't for i the looks of things, I'd price geese and chickens. But who ever heard of a Thanksgiving dinner without a tur- key?" While Miss Barkara was picking her way over the muddy pavements, with her brains frill of these financial.,.cal- culations, a stbut,,.ruddy-faced farmer stood in the middle of Mr Brisket's butcher shop, both hands buried in the pockets of his butternut -colored over- coat his hat tipped jauntily over his eyebrows. "A hundred and fourteen pounds,sir, I make it," said Brisket, who was figur- ing up some accounts on a piece of bluebill-paper, with the aid of a stum- py lead pencil. "A hundred and fourteen pounds I make it," said Herber Truxton, which was the name of the farmer. "At the old rates?" said Brisket. "Oh, yes, at the old rates," nodded Mr Truxton, "I don't raise on an old customer.. But, Brisket—" "Yes, Mr Truxton." "Here's a half dozen small turkeys I want you to give to your customers this year. Id like some ogre to have a merry Thanksgiving this year, all along with me; there ain't many real poor folks our way, because—" Just then Mr Brisket's sleeve was energetically pulled, and a voice in- quired: "Hage you any small turkeys this year, Mr Brisket, for sale cheap?" Brisket turned this way . and that, scarcely knowing which of his custom- ers to answer first. Farmer Truxton stared at Mise Barbara Burr, with keen, bright eyes. "I beg your pardon, ma'am," said be, bluntly., "but—be you poor?" "Sir!" said Barbara, in suprise. "Because if you be," went on Mr Truxton, recklessly flinging all pre- caution to the winds, "you're kindly welcome to one of these," pointing to a pile Of i iottled birds on the bench in front of him, "I. bring 'em in express- _ ly.for poor folks. I want to help some fellow-creattu'es, AS ain't': so well of as I be, to have a good Thanks, ivin'." "You ase a sensible man, ' said Miss Barbara. "I'll take four of 'em." "Four?" repeated Mr Truxton. "Yes," said Miss Barbara. "I've got neither kith nor kin of my. own, but I have invited sixteen of the poorest and most solitary people 1 know to keep Thanksgiving with me; and I'd like to ask six .and -twenty,. if I'd room to sit 'm dtswn;,lint.i'de only one small xoom, and—" r Truxton had glanced inquiringly at Brisket, the butcher, as if to say: hiinroi Dry for t � AAA l ti "Is tble ail reliably iuforrnatioli'f"'?lis- lot, the butcher, had'rieddedie head, as if to reply'; Itis," Arid t this stager the good lamer burst : -in the current Of Miss goy i-peech: �, d,s1r 'em to y house said he "Out to:.Coon's o11o% three miles beyond. the Harlem River, There'll be i col n for all of you there Boal t be afraid," (at Barbara's wondering look,): "Brisket knows me.

And I calcis- it's a lucky thing I chanced to et, gu now. "I wonder what I'd better do," said Miss Barbara. "It would be nice to take alt these poor creatures for a day in the country--" "And there ain't a prettier place go- ing than Ooiin Hollow," declared Mr Truxton. ''And I'd send my big straw wagon to the Bridge to meet 'ern; and turn all the young 'uns loose in my barn to play. Do' bring 'em, ma'am. It would, do me good to see a regular Thanksgiving kept once more in the old place." "Well," said Miss Burr, it seems a queer abrupt sort of thing to dot but 1 don't see any living reason againstit. Yes, I'll come. And I'll bring six -and - twenty with me, that would not taste of a Thanksgiving dinner if it wasn't for this," "Shake hands on it," said Mr Trux- tun joyfully. And their hands met. Miss Burr sent the baskets and ham- pers, carefully packed, to the Bridge, where they were loaded duly on the straw wagon, in company with the Crisp family, pale Sarah Potter, Mr Plin and the vendor of peanuts, Katy Severn, and the jeweler's clerk, and a crowd of others scarcely less impecun- ious and friendless. "Is this the country?" said the Crisp children, leaning over the sides of the wagon. "We never; saw the country before." "Oh, how sweet the air smells!" said KatySevern. "It makes me dink of Sliarmany," said poor Plin, the violinist, with tears in his dim eyes. At the Truxton farm -house a royal welcome was prepared. Fires blazed in the huge fireplaces, auburn leaves glowed on the walls,aqd wreaths of silver -white "Grandfather Graybeard" were festooned over the windows. The long table wasspreadiwithlgood things; the host stood on the threshold, rub- bing his hands. "You are welcome friends!" he kept repeating. "You are welcome! I only wish my poor mother could have lived to see this day." Did not Mr Truxton and Miss Burr beam at each other across the long table, as they carved for the hungry guests? Did not the little children laugh, the old people smile in shy de- light at each other, as the meal pro- gressed? Did not the musical man sing his best song, the worn-out actor give "Mark Anthony's Address," with swelling of his,old spirit? Did not all enjoy themselves with a keen sense of happinessthat was, alas to be but fleeting? It was long after sunset when the children were called back from the barn and farm -yard, the elders count- ed up, and all the party carefully pack- ed into the big wagon. Miss Barbara Burr was very tired—so tired she could hardly speak. But she never had been happier in all her life! And when Thanksgiving came around the next year Barbara kept it, as Mrs Truxton, in the same f arm - house. Down With High Prices For E1eetric Belts. $1.55, $2.65, $3.7Q ; former prices $5, $7 $10.

WHERE THEY EXCEL IN ADVENTURE,' STORY- TELLING, POETRY AND PICTURE -MARINO. We take pleasure in directing the attten- tion of our readers to TORONTO SATUR- DAY NIGHT'S CHRISTMAS NUMBER, whioh is just appearing on the market. Every year that enterprising paper issues a Christmas Number, and every year the production is superior.to all previous ones and to anything similiar attempted in Can- ada. Constant progress is made towards an ideal. The premium picture this year is a large oledgraph 20x28 inches, entitled A Moment of Suspense, purchased from its owner in Germany at a very large sum. In reproducing this picture twenty colors are called into use by the lithographers. This information is technical and only those who know something of the picture - making art will grasp its full import. The picture represents a group of ladies and one gentleman of the period Of Louis XV. of France, dressed in the superb attire of that time, in a splendidly furnished room. Everything palls into play the subtle nit of the colorist. The gentleman, with a stick, is opening a trap in whioh is a mouse; a oat crouches near by to spring upon the captive, while tb.e ladies have flown for safety to the top of chairs, tables and couches. This picture frames with singu- lar effect. The leading feature of the Christmas Number is The Random Reminiscences of a Nile Voyageur by Charles Lewis Shaw, being a humorous and thrilling account of the expedition of :1884 to the relief of General Gordon, who was besieged by the False Prophet behind the • walls of Khar- toum. Four hundred Canadian voyaugers shared the perils of that expedition, of whom Mr Shaw was one. This is one df the best things yet written by a Cana- dian.

Mr J. D. Edgar, of Toronto M, P. for Western Ontario, made a few re- marks at a meeting of the Reform party on the P. I.'. A., which organiz- ation, he said, was intended to stab Sir Oliver Mowat. "He would like to know why the `}Protestantism of the Province had to work underground, and use the methods of the Spanish inquisition and the Fenian brother- hood, The Equal Righters and Or- angemen displayed their colors openly, but the P. P. A. worked in secret, like a gang of burglars, The Liberals had been asked to join, on the understand - tug that the same weapon would be used in the future to stab Sir John Thompson, but they could beat him without it, and, much as the country would gain by moving him, he, him- self, would rather stay in Opposition than pander to the passions of intaler- ance and ignorance." A wonderful raw combination is R. Stark's Headache, Neuralgia and Liver Powders, nice to take and perfeotly harm- less. Mrs Gaston, 22 Inohbury street, Hamilton, another well known citizen, testifies: "Having given R. Stark's Head- ache, Neuralgia and Liver Powders a fair trial, I am willing to bear testimony to their efficacious effects., . I have derived great benefit from them, having been a long time a sufferer from headache, bilious- ness and neuralgia. Mr Alexander Mercer, the well known oontraoter. Hamilton, says: "I have much pleasure in recommending R. Stark's Headache, Neuralgia and Liver Powders, as after a fair and protracted trial of the same I consider them a very valuable remedy for headache and bilious- ness, well worthy of the confidence of the public, and far surpassing many others of considerable repute." Price, 25 cents e box. Sold by all medicine dealers. "Describing Hon. A. S. Hardy as Mr Mowat's wicked partner," says The Toronto Evening Telegram, "was originally a jest, and has developed in- to an injustice to a good Canadian and an honest public servant. To say that Mr Hardy is an extremely practical politician is to say the worst that can be said about him. His public life has been unstained by scandal, and in pri- vate he is known as a true man in all the relationship of life. It is hard that a politician against whose character, either public or private, no offence can be specified, should be held up by opponents as a man entirely out of sympathy with everything that is straight and decent._ Mr Hardy has not grown rich in politics. He has kept his hands clean and his life square, and the man for whom so much can be truthfully said is not an exceptionally wicked sinner in a party of saints.

In planta we find water thus mingl- ing no less wonderfully. A sun -flower evaporates one and a quarter pints of water a day, and a ciibiiage aboutthe same quantity. A wheat plant ex- hales, in a hundred and seventy-two days, about one hundred' thousand grains of water. An acre of growing wheat, on this calculation, draws and passes out about ten tons of water per day. The sap of plants is the medium through which the mass of fluid is con- veyed. It forms a delicate pump, u which the watery particles run wit the rapidity of a swift stream. By the action of the sap, various properties may be communicated to the growing plant. Timber in France is, for in- stance dyed with various colors being mixed with water which is poured over the root of the tree. Dahlias are also colored by a similar process.
