"I didn't know there was more than one queen in Eng - laud:' "Queen Jeanne!" he says, tenderly. "Queen Jea--" Then she sinks back and turns pale. "Is—is that-----" She is too overpowered, too bewildered n-nd amazed to conclude the question. "That is Ferndale Castle," he says,. lightly, and adds more etnderly: "lour future Home, if you should take to it, Jeanne—if not—well, we will try some other," "Our future ]tome—yes," says Jeanne. ' "But it seems all so unreal" "It has stood for a. good many centu- ries, too," says Vane, trying to laugh her awe away. The next moment Jeanne seed ;a huge pair of gates fly open, the mellow notes of a horn arise upon the summer evening, and Vane says, cheerily: "We have just passed the lodge gates" Then, in a brilliant panorama, passes velvety lawns, with glittering beds of flowers set, jewel-like, in their midst; the ground rises, with terraces of white marble and statuary, tier on tier; then, with a sweep, the road winds around to the front of Ferndale Castle itself. Tnetantly, as if their approach had been anxiously watched and awaited, handeome liveries appear at all the doors; the carriage is surrounded by at- tentive and eager, yet not bustling, sea ve.nts, the great hall doors clang open, and Vane, drawing Jeanne's hand within his arm, walks up a long double line of servants into what looks to Jeanne like a church, by reason of its vastness—its old, glistening oak, battle flags and stained windows but it is only the afall. Here and there are more servants, in full and most elaborate liveries, looking par- ticularly splendid in the light which passes, many -colored, through the paint- ed windows. It is a scene so grand, so rich, and withal so noble, that Jeanne would 'think it nothing but the unsub- stantial fabric of a dream, but for the pressure of the strong arm that holds hers, and Vane's dep voice, as he says: "Welcome home, darling!" Suddenly, noiselessly, the glittering crowd of liveries seem to melt. Jeanne finds herself, still leaning on her hus- band's arm, ascending the great stair- case, up which, as far as width is con- cerned, they might very well have been conveyed by the travelling carriage. "Look over, Jeanne," be says, when they reach a wide, sheltering gallery. "See, down there on that marble floor, many a struggle has been fought out, Once the Roundheads laid siege to the place, and—confound them—took it. The men fought to the last, even to the very last, and it lay strewed with but never mind. We'll put these cheerful stories , off until your dinner; which, by the way, when will you have?" Jeanen stares and blushes, but says, with a pretty little air of independence: "Oh, very soon, please, I am so hun- gry." "So am I," says Vane, and he turns to the grave -looking individual who comes to met them. "Southall, tell them to let us have some dinner in half an hour, in the small room." The man went of with noiseless alac- rity, and Jeanne, loogink over the huge, thickly-earved oak balustrades, saw his black form disappearing in the distance of the church -like hall. "It is ma enificent," she says, looking up shyly. "I shall awake directly, and find I hate been asleep. Vernon, I am afraid to speak above my breath here" He laughs, "Twill be scolding me at the top of its voice in a week's time, little wife," he says. Jeanne blushes and bends her head lower, but suddenly looks around and sees an old lady approaching, dressed in plain, black silk, and looking more spruce and tidy than ever did Aunt Jane. Oen (this be a. relation? But the old lady comes straight up to them, beckoned by Vane's hand, and, dropping a respectful, not to say awed, oouetesy, says, in her lowest of soft voices: . "I hope I see your ladyship well?" Poor Jeanne looks aground to see where her ladyship inay be, -then suddenly, rec- ollecting herself, smiles shyly. "This as Mns. Fleming ,the housekeep- er," explains Vane, in his careless fash- ion. "Hope you're well, Mrs. Fleming? Thet'a eight. Will you send her lady- ship's maid?" "Will her ladyship permit me to eon- duot her?" says the old lady, gently. "I thought" ----she was going to say 'her ladyship would bring her own maid" -- but strapped in time and looked gently at Jeanne. "Ah, yes, of course," says Vane. "Jeanne, do not be long, or nothing will be left of me but my skeleton!" and with a Iangh he touches her arm lovingly and goes on bo his own rooms. Jeanne looks after him for a moment, then follows the old lady down a corri- dor, which has its old oak relieved by exquisite paintnigs on panels of dull gold. Gradually the decorations grow of lighter oharacter, and presently the old lady opens a door and ushers Jeanne, with a little courtesy, into a delicious little room, furnished in exquis- ite taste—a little nest in the old tree of a castle. Jeanne looks around with hushed breath, then, with an exclama- tion of childish delight, she runs across the room and stands before a picture which is hung over the antique mantle - piece. It is a picture of gray cliffs and a spring sky, with billowy sea, and a boat sailing in over the bar. It is the Nancy 13e11. Jeanne knows whose hand I painted it, and her eyes fill with happy —too happy --tears. The old lady watch- es her from a respectful distance. "When --do you know how this come here ?" she asks. "My lord sent it a week ago, and ;ave directions where it was to be hung, my lalIt� -it is a picture of my boat, and Newton Regis, where r come from !" says Jeanne, explaining, "Yes, my lady " say Mrs. leaning.

"The best from the castle, thought they are all beautiful," says Mrs. Fleming. "Will your ladyship allow ore to remove your hat ?" Jeanne blushes, then with her old, can- did laugh, shakes her head. "I have never had a maid in my life," she says. "I—I think 1'11 manage, but— don't go, please," she says, as the old lady, dropping a courtesy, moves away. "You shall stay in ease 1 want help.

"It wlln of be the first time in the his- tory of the castle that a lady has found herself there," says Mrs. Fleming, with her gentle smile. Jeanne follows her clown the stairs and across the broad hall, but there her further services are endeed unnecssary by the appearance of Vane, who, in even- ing dress, awaits her. Mrs. Fleming musing, watches them— the slight, girlish figure against the stal- wart broad -shouldered one—for a mo- ment, with something like a tear in her eyes. "God bless her sweet heart !" murmurs the old lady. "She be a flower, indeed! No wonder he loves her—the heart of a stone she'd coax." Oh, mesdames, if you only knew how easy it is to win the affections of those beneath you' If any one had been re- quired to die for my Lady Jeanne, Mrs. Fleming would have been quite ready to go cheerfully to the stake or the block in her stead. In ten minutes the select servants had been informed that "my lady" was the most beautiful creature that ever the sun shone on—and an angel l" exclaimed Mrs. Fleming. "I wonder how long they have been married ! Just like my lord to keep everything so secret !" "Poor Vernon!" says Jeanne, caress- ingly, as they enter the room in which dinner has bei;n laid, and she looks around at the exquisite decorations of subdued grey, lit here and there by a choice picture or a touch of gold. "How you must have suffered in those rooms at the Park! I can understand now!" He smiles, and whispers in her ear: "I was happier there than anywhere else—when a certain young lady by the name of Jeanne was in them!" There are several footmen hovering to and fro, but at a signal from Vane, the butler, a. staid old gentleman, dismisses them, and himself waits, which, if Jeanne only knew it, is a great and marvellous piece of condescension. It is not an elaborate dinner ---which Vane detests ----but its simplicity is ren- dered elegant and .artistic by the French chef, who bas spent a. good many hours in designing and perfecting it, so as to make it suit bath my lord the marquis and his bride.

For a moment he turns it over, and then is about to replace it in his pocket, when, as with an effort, he forces him- self to open it. Even then he might have escaped, and have quaffed that' cup of happiness to his heart's content, for there is not enough light falling from the room, n the terrace to read the letter by; but his evil genies—that evil genius which, so the superstitious legend declares, haunts a Ferndale at his happiest moments—im• - pels him to go to the window of the din- ing -room. and there, with an impatient gesture, of distasteful reluctance, he un- folds the letter. As he does so it gives out a delicate perfume, which almost de- cides him to return the letter to his poc- ket, for he knows the perfume and hates it. But with a curt laugh at his folly, as he calls the warnings of his better gen- ius, he goes to the window and reads there is an elaborately -emblazoned crest on the head of the paper; the writing is of a thin and dainty character, there are no crossings, no erasures, every word is distinctly written, and—Heaven! how it bites. My Dear Vane—Do you think—you who know me—that I could let your marriage pass by without a word ? No, mon ami. Did we not decide, we two, that though parting and parted, we would entertain no vulgar animosities, but though we could not be lovers,would still be friends ? Well, dear Vane, let me wish you joy. Let me in spirit min- gle my slipper and handful of rice with those of your friends who witnessed your departure from the home of your bride. There, I know them in fancy, and with all my heart—yes, with all my heart,—for Vane, I do wish you happi- ness, and all the more heartily because you know how of old I used to prophesy that you would never know it yourself, Alt, Vane, do you remember how I used to tease you on the score of those strange t age fancies, those sad doubts of yours? Do you remember how I used to laughingly protest that you would never be satisfied until you had worked out that absurd whim of yours—that idea of casting aside for a time the cor- onet and the castle, and seeking some simple girl who would love you—you, the man, not the marquis—for yourself al- one ?

Even the most powerful steamer can make but little headway through moderately heavy ice unless she can bring her weight as well as her power to bear. The famous ice- breakers employed for keeping channels open in northern waters are so construct- ed that when they meet ice they aide out on it, breaking it down by their weight. In many cases these ships aro provided with a propeller in their bow, and this assists in the breaking by thaw- ing the water from under the ice. These ice -breaking ships are able to make their way through fields that would absolute- ly check such a ship as the modern ocean liner, even though the latter had far greater horse power. Her straight, sharp i stem, with great draft of water forward, would not permit of her lifting out on the ice, and she would be hopelessly blocked, if her bows were not battered out of shape.—Boston .Herald.

A few years ago Professor Dutrbar, of Hamburg, found that by means of 0 solution of salt it is possible to extract from the pollen of varieties of grass held responsible for the disease a substance which, through its effects upon the 'imams membranes of the nose and eye, has shown itself to be the poison of hay fever. \]'lint bas heretofore been surnisavl has now been demonstrated—that a peculiar predisposition. is necessary to contract the disease. Professor Denker, of Erlangen, has made n series of further experiments, and luts published his conclusions in the lefunich Medical Weekly Journal, Ho first vaccinated hay fever patients with the serum pre- pared by Professor Dunbar, and regret- fully ascertained that the remedy did not always produce the desired effect. Ile resorted to another mode of treat- ment, consisting in, a massage of the mucous membrane of the nose, which must first be rendered insensible by co- caine. The massage is made by means of a probe covered with cotton, and is made once a day, lasting only from two to three minutes for each nostril; later, one minute longer. The results so far observed in eight cases have been very encouraging, and the favorable effects have not only last- ed for ono year, but have also been no. ticeable in the second year.

(Chicago Uhronicle,) Now, this is the time of the year The office boy, looking so sad, Comes down with a sigh and a tear, And feeling exceedingly bad, In grief, with a hanging down head, Reveals that the grandmother's dead. Ho goes, with a step sad and slow, Until ho has come to the street, And then you should see the lad go; He seems to have wings on his feet; Thus vanishes funeral pall, And up comes the game of baseball. And thus it goes on through the days While summer and sunshine may last; The number of deaths would amaze, His relatives dle of so fast, Until to the truth the boss climbs, That "grandmother" died seven times.

South American Nor - vine is a great purifier, cures Indigestion, Dyspepsia, and tones the nerves, The best evidence of its efficacy is the unsolicited testimony of thousands of cured ones. -70 t - t Consistency. I3erbert McFadden, at the funeral directors' annual convention at Philadelphia, declared consistently to be an overrated virtue. "Because,"'he said, "we held the French method of embalming to be the best ten years ago, must we, for consistency's sake, stick to the French method now, when we know that the American method in every way surpasses it? These upholders of consistency would go as far as the widow who wanted to have her husband cremated, "She took the corpse to the crematory, and the manager of the place said • to her: "We cremate here, madam, 1n both ways." " 'Both ways?' she repeated, confused. " 'Yes,' he explained. 'Tho French way and tho Italian way. Which do you pre- fer:' 'Oh,' the widow answered, brightening, 'the French. The French, by all means. Poor John could never bear Italian cooking."'

If the tax on beer is increased the brewers will be in a position to claim that they are furnishing the means to dig the Panama Canal. But, of course, it's really th'e man who drinks the beer that pays the tax that enables Uncle Sam to swing the shovel. Perhaps some fastidious people will object to the great water way becoming a beer tunnel, but it isn't believed that commerce will suf- fer on this account. And if the ferment- ed liquor tax is raised and the digging goes on, we may expect that the loyal imbiber of 'the malty mixture will ex- claim every time he tosses down a foam- ing stein: "Here's another shovelful out of the ditch."—Cleveland Plain Dealer*.

"Advertising occasionally fails, but mere than ninety per cent. of the failures fere not due to the advertising medium, wen though a poor medium may be used, but to the character of the adver- tith ," said Nathaniel C. Fowler, jun., in a recent address to the New England Dry Goods Association in Boston. You can put the best gun that ever was made , into the hands of a poor markiman and' he may not be able to hit a barn door at thirty paces. But that's no refleetioh on the gun. The daily newspaper is the perfect advertising gun. In steady hands . it unfailingly brings down the purchaser. Skill in its use is easily acquired, and in proportion to the results the ammuni- tion is inexpensive. ARRANGE YOURVACATION. CATION. ACCORDINGLY, The popular time for a trip U.

Dr. Giem Shimose, the chemist-iraven- tor of that wonderful explosive, Shimose powder, used by the Japanese army and navy, was born in the very humblest circumstances in the Province of Hiro- shima, some forty-seven years ago, when railways and steamships were practically unknown in the island empire. Very early Shimose determined to win an edu- cation, made his way to the capital, bor- rowed books to study, and, though often on the verge of starvation, was gradu- ated from the Imperial University with the highest honors. His first invention was a curious ink, now used in Japan for bank notes. The secret of its composi- tion is absolute and counterfeits are in- stantly detected. Recognizing that the powder in use in Japan was extremely unsatisfactory, Shimose turned his at- tention to the invention of a new pow- der and spent eleven years in perfecting it, often working entire days and nights in his laboratory.
