She's been very sick ind no; ; likes her very well ; 'twee just like ino " auk ye, &Ain', about the tea," said Aunt Hannah. I knew Ellen Dunn. I knew her mother, an' 1 just remember her grandmother. No, they aint likeable folks; they're too pleased with themselves, an' al- ways riashin' without fear or wit to other folkhi affair!. There was this Ellen that was some smarter than the others are learn- ed the thinness; trade, an' then there was another sister that stayed at tome an' dried up -she looked as it she was a thousands years old when she got here. So Ellen's sick, is she? Well, I daresay 'twill do her good ; she'll find how kind folks is an' be drawed to some she's been too ready to find fault with. Perhaps I'll go over an' see my- self some day. 1 may know of soinething that'li be good for her ails; they're folks I've always known." Mary Fleming sat by the open window, sometimes looking out into the badding grape vine and sometimes watching her old friend's face as she rambled on with her opinions and reminiscences. The fire was crackling in the stove and the tea -kettle be- gan to sing ; presently she made the tea and ,poured a cupful for Aunt Hannah, whioh was received with gratitude. The color came back to the pale old face and it was presently acknowledged that the walk bed been over long for one of these first warm days. , Tin as good se cap 0' tea as your ma could have made,' bless her 'heart 1" said Aunt Hannah. "1 expect you'll turn out as nice a cook an' as good a woman. Seems to me you ..00k kind of unpleased about something, thougb. I thought no the min- ute I see you." ' " Yon always know everything ; You're a witch !" Mary laughed, but the kindness of this old friend's tone touched her, and she could not say any more for a minute, but looked away out otthe window. • "There 1" exclaimed Aunt Hannah. "I've got no business to pry and question, but I hate to see young folks look down- hearted. Young folks often has to make up some kind o worry for themselves if only .to serve till the real ones come, I know most all the kinds of real trouble that there as, and there's hardly any but what there's help for." Mary did net like this -at least she may have liked it Lut did not wish to sey so. Old people ha*� such a preaohing wax and think they kn W all about everything, and this assumptio , young people always' resent. The tea seemed to have refreshed the old woman wonderfully. She took off the Shaker bonnet and folded her shawl cam fully, and Mary took them from her anl carried thein into the next room. " I expect you be most done going to school 1" The question was put in a most business -like and friendly tone. Mary Fleming walked slowly along the street toward her home one hot afternoon late in the month of May. Summer had come suddenly,as it always does in northern New England. The small town itself had a northern look and, although the dooryards and the whole country were fast growing green, as you looked out.past the village you caught sight of stony hills, of dark wood- land and sterile soil. Mary Fleming wore a thick winter dress, and the discomfott of it added to her _dis- couragement of heart. It was one of the days when she felt like making herself as miserable as possible. Usually as you met and greeted her you were sure to notice a brightness in her face and something un- commonly pleasantly, though she often had a puzzled look, a kind of sharpness- and as- sumed authority such as young teachers sometimes wear who think more of lielf-im- portance than of the opportunities of their position. Mary Fleming was charming to look at in her fresh girlishness when she felt satisfied and happy, but of late she had been so dis7atisfied and thinking of herself and her tpubke so much, that her very looks were hiloging. Sometimes her nat- ural good temper and affectionateness drove these eloude away ; she was far too young' to be always dispirited. The very year of her life lent hope and she only feared disap- pointment ; there had been no time yet to provb that disappointment was inevitable. Our heroine opened the sagging side_ gate of a plain, small wooden house that stood close: to the street, and went along a weedy path: through the side yard toward the kit- chen door. In the yard there were two pear trees in whitest blossom • and a (rood bit of open garden ground, but nobody had taken. any cara of it that epring, so that whatever had been thrown out or blown in littered the furthei side againat the next, house.There were even eome old tin cans ly- ing about, most. hopeless of refuse,and Mary looked at them ;With dismay and disapproval, and wondered why her father had not pick- -ed them up. She had noticed a neighbor's fiewer garden as elle crime up the street, Where Sane daffodils were in blootn by the path; and 'the empty flower beds were all put in order, with their brown freshly -dug earth heaped smooth and high. She re- membered with a feeling of impatience how neat and clean and promising it all looked. She stood looking about with a very disap- proving expression '• then turned and went slowly up two or three wooden steps and opened the side door of the house and went Into the kitchen, which was just like a. great many other kitchens. The grained wood- work did not look like oak, but only like the worst of imitations, and it gave a soiled - looking, dingy color to the room, though the whole little place was really so clean and orderly. The paper was ugly, too, and had been hung 80 badly that it looked the worse. Neither Mary nor her mother knew exactly why they disliked their poor little kitchen so much where they spent no much of their time. People do not know how much good harrconious and pleasant colors can do them in their every -day lite; there is something akin to a moral influence in the ugliness or the beauty which surround usin our houses. We may help to make our surroundings, but they also help to make 118. - Mary always irooked eagerly for her mother's pleasant -face at the sitting -room window, where she usually sat in the after - nein, but to -day Mrs. Fleming was not there. -In the kitchen, however, was an un- expected but familiar figure; a thin little old -woman in an odd, light-colored dress with a sprigged shawl over her shoulders, gay with a bright border. She wore on her head a flaring old-fashioned Shaker bonnet with a long cape and brown band over the top ; from under this bonnet shone a pair of piercing kindly brown eyes and a thin lock or two of white hair. She was a neat, knowing, delightful old visitor, and Mary's face lighted. up like a child's with the pleas- ure of finding her. " Why, where's mother ?" she asked. " Do take off your things, Aunt Hannah ; you've come to make us a visit, haven't you ?" "Yes, dear," said Aunt Hannah. "1 waked up this morning feeling Used got to come, so here I be. You km* that's my way ; I have bad the beautifulest walk from over in Round Hill neighborhood. 'Twos pretty far, but 1 -rested me often, and ;Mis' Prescott put me up some tread an' butter an' a nice piece o' cake fer luncheon, though I calculated to get here by dinner time. I can't walk as once I could; but there, I have to keep stopping to see things by the way. I believe I got me a drink ce water from every brook." The old woman looked tired, but her face was so radial. i with pleasure that Mary was pleased too. She put down her books and little basket, and looked at the stove, and then put two or three pine sticks into the inside and the tea -kettle with a little fresh water on the outside, before she sat down. "I'm going to make you a good cup of tea, Aunt Hannah," she said. " That'll rest you, and perhaps mother'll like one, too, when she comes in. She said something Children Cry for CA§TOR IA- , "Yes, I shall be done this summer 1; school ends the twentieth of June," said Mary, fretfully. "I'm glad of it, I'M PT. y' ou '11 be precious glad of every da you've been before you come to my age responded Aunt Hannah. "What be you going to do afterwards, dear ?" r% "Ob, I -don't know, it worries me to death 1" said Nary in a plaintive tone. "1 must do something, but I don't know what. Mother's always hoped I shouldbe a teacher and she's disappointed because I know and Il she knows that I never had the least gii t for it. Lean do sums and things myse f, but I can't explain them to people. I do 't believe I'm good for anything in the world" "Yes you be, darlini said the old frienkl, calmly. "The end o' the world ain't corse yet for you ; its only the beginning; y u don't know what you be good for yet, but you'll quick find out. Pm sick of everybo y trying to keep school; 'tis one o' the scare st gifts there is, but to get the chance seems to make a high candlestick- for the worstof tallow dips. It aint what you do but how you do it that builds folks a reputation.' "1 can't do anything but what everybody else can do," said the girl sadly. "I always wished I could sing beautifully or be good : for something particular." "You want to get talked about an' let up for being smart, I suppose," said Annt Hannah sharply. "Well, 'tis huinan nature, and there's no b.arrn as I know on. But you just remember what I say ; 'taint what you do, but how you do it. You can make yourself famous for anything; you just go to work smart an' always think of others n' how to please 'ern and you'll. soon fihrd they"' think 'o you. There, I ain't goin' to preach a word more. You do the first thing you see to do, and don't you go an' be 'shamed'ea,use its that thing 'stead b' sone other. Be open, an' have prid about it. My grandma'am used to tell,a story about a woman that had come down in the wo Id an' went to sellin' fish, an' they heard 1ier gOin' along the street a equeakin' ut 'Sprats 1 sprats !I hope to mercy ,nobod '11 hear me." Mary laughed aloud with great delight. Aunt Hannah's stories were the joy of all who knew her, and her homely wisdom and sympathy had stood many a discouraged friend in good stead. "1 do love to keep house," said Mary at last after a season of deep reflection. f ' I suppose that's mother's gift and'mine. I Ida like to do things aboue the house." "Have ambition then, an' make your gift serve you and other folks," said Aunt Han- nah eagerly. "There's lack enough of good housekeepin' in this world. New, I'm beat out .darlin', I've got to rest 1,me awhile." "'You sit here and rest -no, go into the- other room where the big rocking chair is i and the lounge; mother'll soon be at hofre," said the girl.

It was all that John Abbott's pleasaiif was at work with her ; she felt dif- honest and 'toning heart &MK muster cour- ferently toward everybody. She was glad, age to bay, and Mary did not make any an - beside, to see John. 'He would not stay to Meer. Presently she tamed toward him supper, so they said good-bye, and she went quickly. "John 1" ihe said, "1 feel as if I were grown up to -day. 1 don't know why. Aunt Hannah said some things to me that made me think, and iio have you. I'm only an every -day girl, and I never thought much about anything, aid I needed a good' talking to. Aunt Hannah says it isn't what we do, but how we do it that makes any- body worth anything. It makes me feel pretty ambitious." "So it does me," saidJohn. Their young hearts. were sobered by a great vision of personal duty and responsibility. It surely meant eomething that they should have been brought together on such' a day in Mary Fleming's life. in to help her mother. It was time toset the table, and. her mother would need hee. They had onS'boarder, a quiet man,who was an old acquaintance' of Mr. Fleming's. 'People said that he bad a good deal of money, but nobody really knew; he- was a clerk in the counting Epsom of a lumber _firm. Mr: Davis came in as John Abbott went out, and Mary noticed as she set the table that he stood gain in the path looking up at the old pear trees with the sun in their tops, and even bent down a blossoming branch and held it to his face. Aunt Han. nab and her father were talking together clinerfuliy. Mr. Fleming looked tip again and again at Mary as she stepped about the room. She never had looked so pretty or SO womanly before. He was sorry that he had left it for her to tidy up the yard. He remembered that he had seen some potted plants for sale down the street, and said to himself that he would get up early next morning and dig the borders for Mary and his wife, and buy them something pretty to set out. When supper was over and cleared away, Aunt Hannah got her knitting work out of the big handkerchief bundle which she al- ways carried, and Mrs: Fleming brought some mending and sat down by the window to catch the bust of the daylight. The boarder and Mr. Fleming got out the old oheeker-board, which always was a sure sign of their friendliness and good spirits. Mary heard footsteps along the side path. "There's John -Abbott coming back again," she mid, laughing. John came in, looking manly and a little shy. "1 thought perhaps you'd go and take a walk before dark," he said, and Mary rose with alacrity. "We can get some of the rest of the girls to go," she suggested, but Johnemid nothing by way of eager encouragement. Aunt Hannah watched him shrewdly as he stood in the doorway. She bad a wise old head on her shoulderteand she dearly loved young people.' She nodded her head two or three times as they departed, but the men were busy with their game, and Mrs.. Fleming wiuP threading her needle with intentness. "'Tis real pleasure to see you, Aunt Han- nah 1" she exolaimed. "I've been wishing you'd happen along.' "1 waked tie this morning just as the birds were singm',"repeated the old woman, " an' I felt that 'twits my opportunity to come." t t t t The two young people were walking( .slowly alone the road, not toward the cen- tre of the village, but out toward the quiet fields and woods that surrounded the town. "Aunt Hannah's a lovely old woman," said Mary, with enthusiasm. "She always makes me feel so pleasant. She isn't a bit like anybody else. I've heard mother say ever so manytimes that she always had the gift of coming just when people wanted her. She sort of flies down out of the air." She used tocome to our house when my mother and father were alive," said the young man. ." I didn't think much about her then, exeept that she was pleasant, as you say, and ehe always used to be telling over her funny Old stories. She was there when I had the measles, when I was a little boy, and she -made me drink a whole lot of herb teas, then I didn't like her very II/ell or a while. _ I enjoy living on the farm, but it seems good to get back among the folks I have alviays known,"eitid John, not without sentiment. "1 don know that anybody has missed me." "1 did a good deal," said Mary, frankly, "but of course I've ,got used now to not see- ing you about. . There are a good many that have left school this year. Sometimes I Wish that I had. I think I ought, to go to work and help father." "He looks sick, -doesn't he," said John. "He's too young to get so used up." - "He's over fifty," said Mary, from the short perspective of her eighteen years. "He's older than Mother." " He ought to be right in his prime," said She young man, soberly. "Perhaps it is bad for him to work in the shop. He stoops over more` than he did, and coughs a good deal. I thought he looked all gone when I first saw him to -night. I'm thankful I didn't go into the shop last ball; you know I thought of it? Well, I'm as strong a man now as there is in this county. A good, hard day's work just tires me enough to c make me sleepy when night comes. I wish your father'd move up our way. I mean to talk to him. You'd like it, too, and your mother." "Oh, I don't know !" exclaimed the girt, doubtfully, with a village -born person's un- certaintY about the resources and charms of the open country. "Look at that cherry tree all in bloom 1" "Yon ought to see the trees up at our place 1" insisted her companion. Mary stopped at` that moment on a little bridge over a brook that plashed noisily down a elope through the pasture. The flowering cherry tree was just behind them on the opposite side of the road, and some fresh, young, willow twigs on an oldp cropped stump pointed their fragrance to the cherry blossoms. They leaned over the railing and lo5ske4 down at the brook. Neither of the young,people spoke until the silence became emliarassing. Then Mary said gravely, "1 ought to go to work just as soon as I can. .1 never thought about it so Much as I have to -day. I've got to help mother and I've got to help father. But I won't go into the shop if I can help it, and I never should make a good teacher, and I can't think of anything else." "Why won't you go into the shop?" asked John. His heart was beating so that he was afraid Mary would hear it. He coeld not remember the time that shehad not heen dear to him and different from "anody else. He longed to be a little older and to have the right to tell Mary all abbut it.. He was sure -no, he was not sure that she remembered things he had said to her years ago, when they were be- ginning to grow up. Perhaps she thought he had forgotten them. "Why not go into the shop?" he repeated. "It's better for girls than for men. There are nice gide there, and you could make pretty good pay right on, you are so quick to learn things." "1 suppose I might," said _ Mary, slowly, "but if you knew how I hate to be shut up all day," "It shan't bo for a great while if I can young folks -don't know how hard them pilings be. He used to be the pleasantest boy, always a whistlin' an' singin'." 1 Mary looked up in surprise. She never bad bad the least sentiment about her un: lucky father ; her mother had a certain dig- nity and lady -likeness which she admired, but as for her father he was a plain and rough -looking atter who was always gloomy land disapproving except at the rarest inter- vals, when the visit of some old acquaintance or an occasional holiday jaunt oue into, the country made him appear more cheerful. He WAS always very friendly with Aunt Hannah, as was everybody who knew her. "Some nice brisk wormwood tea '11, set him right up," said the good old soul. 1 "1 had you all on my mind when I first .waked up this mornin' as the birds were Innen',.If "I'm gladyou did, mother '11 be so glad , ni see you. Now, I'm going out in the yard," said Mary "and I'll have it looking better as quick as ever I can." She could not have told why she telt so light-hearted and energetic at that moment. All the shadows had blown away.lint • Hannah, who really felt t ired,' went intothe sitting -room to take a nap, and Mary Only stopped to spread something over her and then with sudden impulse stooped down and kissed the soft old cheek. "Dear heart, I thank ye remit' Aunt Hannah gently. [ She was half asleep already with the comfort- able ease and habit of her many years. Then Mary put on au old dress and went out to the shed and found a rake and a basket and began her, work under the pear trees. She was, ourimisly light-hearted. Was it the fragrance of the spring air and the blooming trees, was it the escape from the close and dulling air of school, was it the kind, wise talk of Aunt Hannah that had brought her to this better level of things? Nobody could tell. Mary herself did net try to think, but she had not enjoyed any- thing in a long time as she enjoyed picking up the neighbor's cans that had fallen through the broken partition fence, and the pieces of refuse, and raking their little gar- den clean and sweeping the path to the gate. She was just tying up the grape vine with a bit of string, an hour later, when her mother came home looking tired and hur- ried. "Why, how nice everything looks," she said gratefully. "Did you do it yourself, Mary ? I have been wishing our yard look- ed nice. I noticed everybody's else as 4, went along and thought they all were neat but ours. Your father has so little time." She hesitated to say any more ; she was al- ways trying to explain things to Mary about her father, but Mary was always hard and resentful. Mary smiled now, and said that he would have a surprise when he came home, for once. "Aunt Hannah has co e," she added, looking in her . mother's fa e and still smiling. " She was tired, and made her a cup of tea and then she went to sleep. There she is now 1" Aunt Hannah appeared at the window, and Mrs.Fleming hastened in. Somebody spoke to Mary from the sidealk. "Don't you want sone help, said a per- son who might have been called either a very young man, or a very old boy, .just as the observer had chosen. " Yes, I do, John," said Mary, eagerly. "Why, where did you come from ?" - John Abbott was already in the yard. " My, don't your pear trees look pretty 1" he said. "Its ever so much more like eum- trier in town than it is up to your ploce." They stood near together, but they did not offer to shake hands, though their young faces were full of pleasure- at seeing each other. "1 came down to spend the night at Aunt Esther's," explained John. " I bad °to get me some new clothes, an' our folks Wanted some fanning tools and so on, an' Mr. Haynes thinks o raising a good deal o' poultry thie year,so he's jesting to stay, too, an' see about that, kn' we're going back early to -morrow. Its awfully busy on the farm now. We didn't see first hew we could get away. We brought down oke o' oxen he'd sold, and other thing!, so 'was necessary for two of us to come. r John looked very sunburnt andlinpo tent -as if the spring winds and sun and rain had weather-beaten him particiderly-but his eyes were clear and bright, and he had an air of vast importance. Mary and, he had always been neighbors and friends. It wasknown by all their acquaintances that John Abbott and Mary Fleming "went' to- gether," in schoolmate fashion. They had really missed each other since he, had left school the year before and gone up country to take a place on a large farm. What were you doing ?" demanded the lad, as if it were amusing that she should be doing anything at all, and she showed him the grapevine, and they stood talking while he pruned that and tinkered the trellis. It was almost tea time when Mery's father suddenly appeared, and they both turned at the sound of his voice, a little shamefaced. He looked very pale, but he s,poke very kindly to John -everybody liked John -and he bad come from a part of ' the country where Mr. Fleming used to live himself. "Come in and stay to supper," he said, with unwonted eagerness, but John said shyly that he must go back to his Aunt's, she would be sure to expect him. "1 don't know's I ought to eat two meals in the same place, theugh," he added. "Its likely to frighten tolks.1' "You've made the lot look as neat as anybody's," said Mr. Fleming, standing on the steps and looking about, "1 haven't done anything except about the vine," said John. Mary's been trying her hand at farming." "Mary ?" asked her father with a puzzled look. "Why, thiit's tomething new, I'm afraid she and her mother were out of patience "- Mary would naturally have looked surly at this, but, somehow, she did not feel surly for a wonder -perhaps because John was standing by ; perhaps because she pitied her father a little for almost the first time. She said that she had felt like working out of doors,it was so pleasant. She even looked her father weight in the face with a smile, instead of evading him with a frown. They had not been on very good terms lately. It we:cone of Aunt Hannah's old proverbs that it takes two to make a quarrel, but .only one to end it, and Mary thought of this as her R emnatism ?

Lake Superior is; to begin with, the larg- est body Of fresh water in the World. It is water of wonderful purity, whichit holds, too ; and ;sometime, and in the not distant future, either, the people who live in the large oities to the west and south will come to this, lake. to.get the water for their homes. It will not be so remarkable an engineering feat to pipe the waterof this lake, pure and sparkling and fresh from its aold depths, to these cities which are now strugglingwith the question of their water supply and meeting all sorts of difficulties in their efforts to get water fit to drink. All down through this thousand feet of blue there is a peculiar coldness. At the very most the temperature varies through winter and summer not more than- six de- grees. Winter and summer this great lake never changes to any appreciable extent, so that if you dip your finger tips in the blue surface gin a day in July, or if you test it some de.* in the early wintenwhen you have been out on some belated, ice -mailed fishing smack, dr when you have gone out to watch the fishermen spearing their supplies through the thick ice in mid-Jannarv, you will find but a trifling difference in the tem- perature. Away down at the bottom, too, there is but little variation in the temper, sture, for it stands at nearly 40 degrecee Fahrenheit at the bottom, and varies from 40 to 60 degrees, winter and summer, at the surface. The other lakes, though cold, are not in this respect like Superior. The sliole bottom of the lake is believed to be a Strong rook basin, though it would eeem that there must be great springs at the bottom to help to keep ap the enormous volume of water. Froin the north there is a large amount of water -pouring into the lake year in and year out, the swift rustling, narro w banked Nipigon and the other streams, furnishing , no small part of the supply. These streams, in a large measure, make up for the loss from the surface. One of the old lake captains, a bronzed, kindly faced man, who had been for 35 years on the lakes, and faced death many a time in the frightful storms which sometimes sweep across these beautiful bodies of water, 'told me, as we were palming along one daynear the north coast of Superior, with the head- lands and inlets and glossy green bluffs of Shat most picturesque shore in full view, that the theory ;that the lake was slowly going down in size was true. He maintain- ed that he could tell from certain land- marks along the shores, with which he is as familiar as he would be with the streets of his old Scottish birthplace, that the lake was slowly -very slowly -but surely reced- ing. However, it will be some centuries yet, before there will be any appreciable lessening of the great lakes, so that we need not be concerned. - Strange as it may seem the lake has tides, too, well-defined tides, discovered in 1860. It is what is called a self-regietering tide, with a regular flux and reflux wave, caused, SO the scientific men say, by the sun and moon. The average rise and fall every 24 hours is 1 14-100 of a foot; the maximum tide at new full moon is 1 28-100 of a foot. - St Nicholas.

ADDRESS BY LORD OVERTODN. In connection with the Scottish temper- ance convention in Dundee, Lord Overtonn delivered hie presidential address at a re- ception given by the Lord Provost and mag- istrates in the art galleries. Lord Provost M'Grady welcomed the delegates to the city, and mentioned that drunkenness was not making headway in the city. (Ap- plause.) Lord Overtoun said that all diseases put together did not make such a holocaust as strong drink. They could not deny that the sale of drink was legitimate, but was it right that the country should have a legiti- mate trade which was ruininc, its people? It was said "give the working classeasbet- ter houses, open museums, people's palaces, and you will find the cause of drunkenness removed." He believed in giving the peo- ple better houses and all the enjoyment they could, but there were drunkards in palaces as well as in hovels. A man would never be made sober by putting him in a palace. Referring to the floating of distil- leries and breweri6 into limited liability coMpanies, Lord OVertoun said he earnestly trusted the people would soon make up their minds about the insidious danger that lay in that temptation. It was a- sad fact, he proceeded, that they had a legalized trade which spelt national ruin. The trade had always been restricted, but it was time it was more restricted. Speaking of muni- cipal management, he said that if that course were adopted,, they would be making the trade respectable, and they did not want the trade made respectable. (Ap- plause.) They would be going a lonstainvity to establish the trade on a firmer fddting than before, and they wanted the trade dis- established. (Applause.) Beyond alt that, they believed that the management of the traffielwould demoralize the people. (Ap- plause.) He objected to be a partner in that concern -to be saved taxation by the profits of the drink traffic. If we were to be saved taxation by the profits of the drink traffic it would be to men's interests to drive a roaring trade in drink, and that would be utterly demoralizing. (Applause.) • -A very pleasant event took place atthe residence of Mr. and Mrs. George Capling, of concession 8, Wallace, recently, when their only daughter, Mies Mary, was united in wedlock to Mr. Hazelton Morgan, of con- cession 10, Maryboro'. After the congratu- lations were over upwards of seventy guests sat down to`a sumptuous repast, ample jus- tice being done in that hne. The spare hours were taken up in tripping the light fantastic until the small hours of the morn- ing. The presents to the bride were_ numer- out and costly, showing thehigh esteem she holds in the hearts of the people in general. Rev, Mr. Tate officiated.
