Tiny was pained at Frank's manner, ,.but she looked him in the face and smiled only the more resolutely, "No," she said, "of course she doesn't. That's just what I say. She's awfully stuck up and cold. I can quite understand her jilting Mr. South." "How do you know she did jilt Mr. South?" he inquired, in an irritating tone. "Why, Frank, didn't she go and marry .that other man? Of course she jilted him, and zhe'd do it again just as likely as not, only I hope he won't give her the chance. He's worth fifty of her!

It was quite right that Tiny should speak up fon Mr. South, since but for him she would have stood. a enhance cif being somewhat neglected. Gilbert, however, would not suffer that. Apart from the fact that he found Tiny very fascinating, with her great eager eyes, her quick smiles, and the supreme charm of being still in her teens, he could never endure to see any one slighted.

Among tilern, with a carmine flash on her soft brown cheek, went Tina Vivian, and raised her long lashes for one brilliatft glence es she passed, "Miss Vivian looks eepecially well to -night," Mrs. Austin remarked, looking after hen, and Gilbert murmured some reply, but the expression which had perplexed his companion deepened on his face. Her attention was distracted for a mo- ment by the arrival of the master of the house, a stout, white-whiekered old gentleman, who benignantly ex- pressed the opinion that it was a pleasant sight to see the young people enjoying themselves. When she had agreed with him as completely as he bould wish, she looked quickly roun.d, but the tall figure had vanished from her side. He had gone away to follow once more a aseless round of thought which had grown drearily familiar to him of late. He was haunted by tlae mem- ories which he had called up, He had tried to bring them to life again, and instead they flitted around him like mocking nests, to be seen, but never to be touched. Those happy days in Cornwall were like the opening of a poem, but it had egded in the flattest and feeblest prose. At twenty he was to have been a hero; at thirty-nihe he was nothing, and knew that he never would be anything. The experience was not reinaykable, but in most eases the contrast is rendered endurable by the gentle influence of time. We be- come accustomed to it before it is so terribly defined, and half forget the splendor of the starting -point before we reached the pitiful goal. But South was not so fortunate. He saw them both, and saw them always, in Mil- dredas eyes. As he stood. by the door gazing idly round, his glance suddenly encounter- ed Tiny Vivian's., She looked at him as if she dimly divined his trouble, but turned away her head the moment he noticed her, and yet that swift glance, with its vague proffer of sympathy, came like a ray of light into his dull perplexity. Tiny's eyes, at least, had no reflection of a fail- ure. It happens occasionally that an un- expected chill will suddenly depress us, an undefinable blight which seems to come from nowhere in particular and to be everywhere. The weather may have something to do with it; but the chill is within as well as without, and the outward aspect of things can only emphasize its dreari- ness. Something .of the kind befell the inhabitants of the Manor -house on the Tuesday morning. Every one was dull, the sky was clouded, and the world seemed to have grown old. Gilbert South, had a harassed and weary ex- pression; Tiny owned to a headache;, Mrs. Leicester was worried by the knowledge that fifteen people were coming to dinner. and that she must keep awake all -the evening; and Frank was conscious of nothing but the shadow of 'Mrs. Austin's approach- ing departure. Mrs. Austin herself was inclined to think that she had more than enough of Culverdale. She had never knonin a place which de- pended so much on the sunshine for what beauty it pOesessed, and, in the uniformly diffused shadow, the low ly- ing park and theemeadows with their lines of hedge and dfteh oppressed her with a sense of unendurable monot- ony. There was really nothing to distinguish one inclosure from anoth- er, unless it were the preeenee of cows or eheep. One would have said that the son of Frank's inheritance Was heavy with the dullness of many generationg, which rose on sunless days like an exhalation, not precisely poisonous, since good family feelings and respeotable virtues would take no harm in it, but far too dense for wing- ed and delicate fancies. Consequent- ly, there was no chance of escaping from it even in thought. In truth, there seemed heIthilt to its influence. Mrs. Austin, while she dressed, looked across the river to the village and. save how the church stood solidly plant- ed among its white grave-stonee, and pointed with a sharp little spire to a gray and dreary region on high.

He liked to talk about himself In tones of confidential melancholy, slightly dashed with bitterness. But he would talk to you just as readily about yourself, showing a gentle warmth of interest which was flat- tering and agreeable. This kind of thing was new to Tiny. Prank was not in the habit of saying much about his inner feelings, and certainly would not have known what to make of Tin.y's if she lead attempted to ex- press them. Perhaps the gill had been less conscious of having such feelihgs to express befoie Mr. South carie. It was new to her, too, being accustom- ed to play a subordinate part, in eon - sequence of youth and inexperience, to meet with some one awho consider- ed youthful impressions of far grea- ter value than the dull and blunted opinions of middle age. The squires and rectors about Culverdale did not express such views, nor did - their wives and daughters aet such value on the artless ideas of a girl who had been nowhere and known e nobody. Tiny, in a simple, unthinking way, had loved the country lanes and mea- dows among which she had been brought up; but with Mr. South's ar- rival came a quickened consciousness of their beauty and of her feelings about them. She was already a little less simple in consequence of his Wor- ship of simplicity, and her great brown eyes were more eager, and eometimes more thoughtful. The time passed on till Mrs. Aus- tin's visit was within three days Of its close. She was to leave Culverdale Oil the Thursday, and this was the Monday evening, When a garden-partY at the house of some friends of the Leteeeters ended in an impromptu dance. Gilbert came up to her as she sat fanning herself, and *etching the revolving couples. She shook her head in answer to his request. "Doan ask me," she said. "1 haven't derided for years," And she glanced, not without a touch oe ainusement, at Frank, who had already been rejected, and who etood a little off, very erect and mel- aneholy. .

Not so very long ago a curious field was made in one -of the copper mines at 1111, Cobre, Cub, Those mines, once among the richest in the world were abandoned.for a long time on account of tho insurrections In Cuba against the Spanish rule. In 1868 the coal supply was out off by the insurgents, and con- sequently pumping became impossible, and the mines became fined with water. After the Spanish war an .A.merican company bought the mines and prooeed- ed to pump out the 'water. In one of the shafts thus made accessible was found what once represented an iron pickax as well as some crowbars. The metal in these implements had, it is said. turned to copper. Extraordinary as this may appear, it can be scientifically explaindd. The water, filtering through the rock and the copper ore vein dissolved some of the copper, the solution cOntaining sul- phate of copper. As /soon as the sul- phurie acid in this -solution touched the Iron it at once dissolved that metal and deposited copper in its place, for sul- phuric acid has a•greater affinity for iron than for copper. In the process certain impurities which had existed in the iron *were left behind undisturbed.

Expert advice on wnat to do for trees in midsummer is given by the American Foreatry Association, of Washington. July is the month, says the report, when most attention should be given to spraying for in- sects, 'watering and cultivating, and what to do is indicated in detail as follows: 1. Spray fruit trees with Bordeaux lead. 2. Spray elms for elm leaf beetle with arsenate of lead, one pound to ten gallons of water. 3. Spray for forest tent caterpil- lars with arsenate ow lead, one pound to ten gallons of water. 4, Spray tussock moth and other leaf -eating usects with arsenate ot lead, one pound to ten gallons of wa- ter. 5. Examine the under sid'z of berth, haves and b. wnely awns is presen:. lars with arsenate of lead, one pound to ten gallons of v.a•er. 6. Examine evergreens, especially Postrate junipers, box, yew, etc., for red spider, and. if necessary, spray with whale oil soap, one pound to ten gallons of water. 7. Examine sycamore trees for sY- camera blight (gleosporium nervese- quum), which produces a white wooly mass on the under side of the leaves and causes them to curl and wilt. If this disease is present, spray with Bordeaux mixture, one pound to eight gallons of water. The disease is now common in the vicinity of new York city. 8. The black locusts are now being injured in the vicinity of New York City by,the locust miner, a small bee- tle feeding on the leaves. Where the insect is present, and whore the tree is of spcial ornamental value, spray with arsenate of lead, one pound to ten gallons of water. 9. Examine the peach trees for leaf curl, and watch all the other trees for some insect raantfestation, because this is a month when the insects most commonly appear. If you discover something new, unknewn to you, write for information. 10. Trim sbrubs after flowering. Do.. not destroy the natural drooping effects of the shrubs, but confine yourself principally to dead and old wood and superfluous branches.—In- dianapolis News. Crossing a field one day, I came up- on a large female spider of the hunter family carrying a round white sack of eggs half the size of a cherry at- tached to her spinnerets. Plucking a long stem of herd's grass, I detached the sack of eggs without bruising it. Instaatly the spider turned and sprang at the grass stem, fighting and biting until she got to the eack, which she seized in her strong jaws and made off With it as fast as her rapid legs would carry her. I laid the stem across her been and again took the sack away. She came on for it again, fightinn.more fiercely than ever: Once more she seized it, once more I forced it from her jaws, 'while she sprang and bit at the grasS stem to annihilate it: The fight Must have been oir for two Minutes when by a regrettable move on ray part one of her legs was Injured. Slie did not falter in her fight. On she ,rushed for tbe sack as fast as I pulled it away. The mother in her was rampant. She would have fought for that sack. I believe. until she had not one of her eight lege to stand o11 had 1 been cruel enough to compel her. It did not come to thie, for suddenly .the sack burst, and out poured a myriad of tiny brown spiderlings. Before 1 -could think that mother had rushed among them and caused them to swarm upon her, covering her Many deep, even to the outer joints of her long legs—so deep that 1 could not now have totiched her with a needle except at the risk of crushing the young.

Ernest Edgren, formerly commercial agent for a railroad at Nanking, Chi- na, and later with the Pacific Mail Company at Hongkong, is thus quoted In the Kansas City Star: "No one knows how tuany people there are in China," he said. "The census figures say 400,000,000, but that Is a guess. No census ever has been taken. The government arrives at its population figures by an old method. It has a monopoly on salt. By esti- mating the avetage per eapita con- sumption of salt and dividing the total consuimption of salt by that figure it le able to make a fair guess." 01. 0 0 • The Way He Excused Her.

Blowing Flowers. When amateurs speak of flowers "blowing"they are not using a mere Vulgarism. They are speaking real old English, In the early tongue the verb "blowan" was used to indicate the openingof flowers. Instead of "tiow" being a corraptirm. of "bloom" it its the other way about, "Blossom" comes from the same root. We do not grow the costard apple nowadays, but our forefathers set gnat store by the sort and bought it eagerly in the ' etreete from the "mongers." From costard monger to costermon- ger is a short step. Hawthorn, too, has its interest. The old form of havi was haga, which means bedge. Haw- thorn is therefore simply hedge thorn. —London Graphic. • a* — The Cynical Spinster rises to reinarie that it may be better to cherish an Ideal than to allow him to develop in- to e niere husband.
