And the boy was too proud and resentful to approach her under such circumstances. So passed the season until it drew near its close. Congress adjourned on the 4th of March, an& the fashionable world was preparing ot leave Washing- ton. Falconer did not know, and scorned to inquire, whether Daniel Hunter and his family would leave with the others. But he had not spoken with Maud since her arrival in the city, nor, in fact, since their separation at the altar. And now an intense, irresistible longing to speak to her, to hear her speak, took posses- sion or his soul. The President's last reception was to be held on the evening of the 3rd of March, and all the world was expected to be there. The Hunters would be pres- ent, of course. And Falconer O'Leary resolved. to go and enjoy perhaps the last opportunity he should have of see- ing and speaking to Maud. So when the evening carne, he made a careful toilet, and set out for the Presi- dential mansion. The numerous car- riages of all descriptions, with tkeir horses' heads turned thitherward, the crowd of carriages lining the avenue, and thronging the drive through the lawn, and ranged before the mansion, admon- ished this poor, solitary foot -passenger how great the press of wealthy, fashion- able, or distinguished visitors would be. He entered the grounds by the side gate, and there he found plenty of company in the humbler visitors that thronged the paved foot -way, and, were hurrying 031 to the most democratic assembly in the World. Ile went on, and the nearer he approached the mansion, the thicker, the mote iiiipaSsable became the crowd. He arrived. at its portals, and found the steps, halls and passages literally block- ed up with the multitude, who had come to pay their last respects to the most popular President the country had seen since the days of Washingtoo. SloWly, and with si-eat difficulty, ho "worked his passage' through halls and ante-chambera into the drawing -room, where the President received his Mende.

It never occurs to the ordin- ary individual that there is a right way and a wrong way of doing it. 3 et it is a matter of no small im- portance. If every sigh means a drop of blood out of the heart, as people say, every cough means some greater or less proportion of time knocked off one's life. Most people cough as loudly and iurcibly as they can. But it is rath- sr costly noise, for the single reason that it tears and inflames the lungs. The lungs consist of an extraordin- arily delicate spongelike tissue, which sometimes gets inflamed and choked with phlegm. When we try to get rid of this substance we cough. But obviously, if we remove it violently, we mist necessarily injure the deli- cate lung tissue, Therefore, train yourself to cough as gently as pos- sible.-Froen Health. • ;The Tonic You Need ; If you are suffering with Roils, Pimples.

That a fog is an expensive incident to railway companies nifty be gathered from the faet that Messrs. leynoeh, of Bir- mingham, annually diapose of between one and two millione of fog signals at a trifle under X1 per groiss, Besides this outlay st" large num. is also absorbed in wages and food for the men who attend to this important braneh of railroad work, for, of course, a "fogger," as he is called, is always fed at the companyee expense when on duty. The system of fog -signalling is simple enough, As soon as a fog comes down "fogger," with a little hut and a fire to protect him from the worst rigors of the weather, is stationed at the foot of each "distant" signal post, and it is his bueiness to keep on the rails a couple of detonators, by the explosion of which the engine -driver may be inft.rmed that the road is not clear, and that he must be able to stop by the time he reaches the "home" signal, which forms the reel proteetion of the station. The man for the time acts as a sema- phore. As soon as the arm goes up he clops a detonator on the rail, birt di- rectly the arm falls to the "all right po- sition' the logger removes the detona- tor, at the same time showing a green light to the approaching train the driv- er of wevhich then knows tha't the line is clear for him. Nothing, therefore, should be more comforting to the railway traveller than the bang of the fog -signal. It is the fog - gees "all's well," mut shows that he is at his post and, alive to his duty. -G. G. Minard's Liniment Co., Limited.

(From the Paris According to a recent Scottish author- ity, the demand for oatmeal in a pure state -that is, as marketed from Scot- land -is on the decline, and this condi- tion of affairs is attributed to the inva- sion of similar articles of food in flaked crushed, ground, or seine other form from foreign countries. But the cause for this predilection is not fax to seek, Scotch oatmeal, in the first place, re- quires very careful cooking, while the foreign eer 9.1 food facilitates this operg- tion a factor greatly appreciated by the hou:sewife. Moreover, the latter is piste - ed on the market in convenient card- board packages, which constitute admir- able receptacles from the domestic poiat of view both for transport and storage, while at the same time it appeals to the dealer, who finds it much more conveni- ent to stock the article in strong sealed packages than loose in bulk, in which state it is liable to severe deterioration unless quickly disposed of. The fact has been stated. by Tore, than one medi- cal authority, especially by the advo- cates of the Seottish product, that the foreign breakfast food sold. in such at- tractive packets is an ill-defined. compo- sition. Iiivestigation, however, shows that sub. is not the case for numerous analyses have been made of these maiiu- featured. cereal breakfast foods and for the most part they are entirely free from adulteration and in some eases dia., tinetly improved bv the treatment to which they have been submitted. At any rate, no harmful ingredients enter into the composition. Some are made from the eoarser 1,roduets,•whilee other brands contain certain proportias of molasses, glneose and similar sub- stanees, which, however, are not of an injorkius eharacter. The pereentage of mineral ash ie sometimes found to be abnormally high; but this vomit is dile to the addition of salt for the imptove- ment of the flavor, and eari iit no way be construed as an adulteraut. To re- vive the interest in Seottish oatmeal, the native produeers should not be above taking a leaf from the practiets of their foreign tompetitors in rendering the product more Ittractive to the house- wife.---Chatilbere Journal.

But possibly the strangest application 01 this modern development is the prodne- tion of a refrigerating agent a la tabloid.

Every househeld can thus be equipped with an excellent means.of preservation, which is at once much cheaper and far more convenient than ice. At the same time it enables sterilized preservations to be carried out in those places and climes where ice is not available. Not only is it applicable to small household requirements, but it can be employed for th'e largest installations where expensive and bulky refrigerating machinery is now employed, • It is anticipated that this invention will work a complete revolution in the present methods of refrigeration both in transport and storage.

The question whether the tall hat shall become taller is now being anx- iously debated by the half dozen west end hatters who rule the fashion, and several of them have almost decided to take a step in that direction by an In- crease of one -sixteenth of an inch in height. "The Englishman," said a west end hatter yesterday, "is never violent or conspicuous in changing a fashion, and only a very slight alteration can be made at a time. For two or three years, however, there has been no decided change in the shape of the top hat, and it seems about time there was some alteration. The limit of shallowness seems to have been reached They are now being made six inches deep in small sizes and about six and a quarter in the largest, so that they can only grow taller again. A sixteenth or even a quarter of an inch does not sound very much, but it really makes a great deal of differ- ence in the appearance of a hat. The very tall hat of fifteen years ago was only six a,nd five-eighths inches deep. "I do not believe, however, the top hat will become as deep as that again. 'The bell shape has come to stay, and if you increase the depth the shape must either become nearly straight or display a conspieuous and inelegant waist.' -Lon- don Daily Mail. - = , 111-Cist•I Manse, Prairie sorateivas and every form st contagious Itch on human or animals cures in se minutes by wolford's sanitary Lotion. - It =yea. fails.

The speaker, a banana planter from Jamaica, paueed and smiled. "You don't believe me, do you?" he said. "Yet truly the banana tree is a wonderful thing. Every part of it serves some good use. Thus the long leaves make a 'fine excelsior. The juice, being rich in tannin, furnishes a good indelible ink and a good shoe polish. The stems yield a fine quality of hemp, and. from this hemp there are made lace handker- chiefs cords and ropes of all kinds, mats and 1;rushes. The oil is used in gilding.

The 'prophets predict that er many years have passed there will be at least three railroads across the Andes, one of them transcontinental, the others connecting with steamers on the Amazon or its tributaries. The line which now rune from Valpar- able to Juneal is to be extended through a long tunnel which in five or ten years will be finished, and it will connect with an Argentine road at Mendoza.
