"Mrs. S learn will allow her share of the property to continue in the business, and would be pleased to have yoa calL This was one paragraph in a letter re ceived from the lawyer who was wind ing up the estate of the late Hiram Stearn my deceased partner, and I may also add my warns friend for many years. There bad been a alight coolness be tween na for some two years before his death, arising from the fact that I felt lighted and injured at the time of his marriage. Not by his marriage that was liter ally and positively none of my business but by the fact that I was never invit ed to meet Mrs. Stearn, and never again admitted to the house upon the old friendly term". When I called I was formally received in the library, and finding I was put upon a footing of mere acquaintanceship, I ceased ny visit Nobody knew anything about Mrs. Stearn, save that her maiden name was Jones and she had lived in Staunton, a village near the woolen mills owned by the firm of Stearn & Hallo way. I may as well mention here that the late Hiram Stearn was a man past seven ty when he died, and I was just entering my thirtieth ytar. At twenty-one I be came possessor of a small patrimony, and Mr. Stearn having been an old friend of my father's took me from a clerkship under him into partnership. All I own ed was invested in the firm, but I knew if Mrs. Stearn took out her husband's portion, my share was not sufficient to carry on the busines upon the old foot ing. So my relief was great upon reading the letter from Mr. Garland, our lawyer. A time was appointed, and punctually I stood upon the steps of the house from which, one month before, Hiram Stearn had been carried to the last resting place. Mr. Garland had explained to me that the widow would trust tome the manage ment of the business, but that the will of Mr. Stearn gave Mr. Garland himself a right of general supervision of the wid ow's affairs. This was perfectly satisfactory, but it seemed advisable for me to see Mrs. Stearn, and therefore I waited her ap pearance in a handsome parlor, newly furnished since I had last seen it, but decorously darkened. I imagined to myself a tall, determin ed, strong minded woman, wbo would thrust herself into all the affairs of the firm, and hesitated even then at the idea of a female partner, wondering if it would not be advisable, even at a pecu niary loss, to wind op the business and start once more upon a smaller scale. While I pondered upon this I heard a low, sweet voice say : "Mr. Halloway ?" and turned quickly to face Mrs. Stearn. Can I describe her calmly, as I think of her now? I will try. She was very small, with a face purely oval, delicately featured, and having a sensitive, beautiful mouth. Her eyes were large, a soft brown, matching wav ing chestnut hair, and her brow was low and broad.A creamy complexion that was exquisitely fair without tinge of color, finished this poor catalogue of her charms. But no words of mine can describe the atmosphere of purity, sweetness and gentleness that surrounded Mable Stearn. She was just nineteen when left the wid ow of a man of seventy-three. I must have shown my confusion and surprise, for she said : "I am Mrs. Stearn. Will you not be seated? Mr. Garland has probably ex plained to you my husband's wishes V "lit has," I said, thinking more of the exquisite beauty of the little hand rest ing upon the heavy crape of her dreas, than of her words. "Yoa will find me inexperienced," she said, gently; "but I have heard Mr. Stearn talk great deal about his plans and prospects, and I think I understand something of the business. Mr. Gar land tells me" And then she spoke clearly and intelli gently of a heavy purchase of raw wool that was waiting her decision about the partnership. I explained in detail, making perfect ly clear my own comparatively small share of the capital of the firm ; and she aid: "Mr. Stearn told me this. It is because of his afftjeiion for you, and interest in your welfare, that he wished me to con tinue the business," But insensibly our conversation glided from commercial matters into other channels, and I was delighted at the mixture of simplicity and intelligence my sew partner manifested. Clearly she was well educated with a knowledge of books beyond her years, but also must have lived like a recluse, even in the city She spoke of Mr. Stearn as being dead but without violent emotion. Again and again I made business my excuse for calling, and prolonged my visits to the utmost limit of propriety, and each time I felt more and more the clow of pride and pleasure at the thought that business intercourse must call me frequently into the presence of Mable Stearn. It was inevitable that we should become confidential upon money matters and soon personal ones were Included ia the confidence. In one of our talks, Mabel said to roe r "I was but aa ignorant country girl when my father died, and Mr. Stearn ESTABLISHED 18537. became my guardian ; and it was kind and noble in him to ask me to be his wife. But it was natural that he should be a little ashamed of me, and I never wondered that he did not take me out, or ask his friends to see me. Still though I read and practiced and studied with Mrs. Wabson, I was very, very lonely." I glanced at Mrs. Wateon, an ironclad companion who played propriety at all our interviews, and shuddered. This young life must have been pitifully cramped, between the eld man's jealous seclusion and the rigid companionship of the grim female left on guard in his absence. It was a new delight, when the first year of mourning --was over, to coax Mabel and Mrs. Wataon abroad to sue the sights of the great city, and I was still in my fool's paradise, when a sharp re minder came to sting me. One of my old friends asked me : "When is the wedding to be Herbert?" I do not know ' what I answered. Strange as it may sound, I had never thought of the future in all this pleasant intercourse. It was so sweet to drift along love's stream, asking nothing but present hap piness, that I had not realized where it must all end. And when, at last, I faced the situa tion, there seemed but one honorable course. I must go away, sell out my share of the business, and establish my self in some remote eity. Mabel Stearn was a mere child yot, but her little hands held wealth far be yond my own. Even the large property in the business was but a small portion of her estate. Real estate, bank stock, bonds, railway stock I cannot tell what rested in her name, under some con trol from Mr. Garland, but yet governed by her own clear little braiu. Was I mean enough, I asked myself scornfully, to take advantage of my po sition, and turn fortune hunter? And even as I so thought, my love rose up in my heart, Strang and tender, and told me that if Mabel were but poor and friendless, I would never flee from her, but count it my dearest happiness to woo and win her. Since honor forbade this, I made op my mind to withdraw from my Eden, and gradually arrange the business to turn it over into the hands of some new partner. For three long, w eary months I worked with this end in view, and saw Mabel but once. I noticed she was pale and sad, and my heart smote me that in my selfish pleasure I had.never thought there might be danger to her. I am no puppy to fancy every woman who is friendly is in love with me, but I knew myself to be a gentleman, not ill- looking and well read, and unconscious ly I had tried to put my very best for ward in the presence of Mabel Stearn. I went away from her, wretched and self-reproachful, and sought Mr. Garland. As well end it at once, I thought, and in a few words I told him I wished to ae!l out my share of the business and leave the city. "Rather sudden, is it not ?" he asked, looking at me keenly. "No, I have been thinking of it for some time." "The business was never so prosper ous. "Then I can sell out to advantage." "But Mrs. Stearn may have difficulty in finding another partner so careful of her interests as yon have been." "I hope honest men are not so rare," I said, rather stiffly. "Oh, if it was simply a matter of hon esty, I have no more to say. I thought you felt some personal interest in one so young, so lonely and unprotected." My throat seemed to parch as I tried to speak quietly, and a kind hand fell on mine, a kind voice said : "You are trying to smother your love under your pride." "Under my honor," I answered, for I could not deny the truth to the earnest eyes, so full of sympathy, bent upon ine. Mr. Garland's hand patted mine in a sort of paternal fashion, as he said slowly : "Hiram Stearn was an eccentric man. You must have known that. I think I was the only person in the world in whom be ever fully confided. When Mr. Jones died and left Mabel penniless, and such a child in worldly knowledge, Mr. Stearn knew that his own thread of life was nearly spent. He had an incur able heart disease and was past seventy. He married Mabel, knowing she had no realization of the solemn ties she was taking upon herself. He kept her in seclusion ; kept ber, above all, from the society of younger men. Xot because he was jealous, but because he knew she had never loved, and he feared she would find her woman's heart too soon. 'She will be free soon,' he said to me, 'and in a position to command respect. If she loves then, Heaven bless her choice.' " Then Mr. Garland bent forward, and spoke very slowly : "And be added: 'If her choice should fall upon Heibert Holloway, tell him the dearest wish of my heart will be grant ed.'" "He said that ?" I cried, breathlessly. "He said that, knowing you as no other man could know you, boy and man for years." "But," I said presently, "I do not know that Mabel loves me." "No one can know that until you ask her. She is not a woman to show her heart." My only scruple was gone. If Hiram Stearn acquitted me of fortune hunting, I cared nothing for the world's opinion. Scarcely could I wait until the morrow, and at the earliest hour permissible I was in the familiar parlor, waiting to hear the light step, the sweet voice I fondly hoped to win for the music of my borne. I will not tell you of that interview. It is sufficient to say that a month later there was a quiet wedding, a trip to the Usunny South, and my business partner became my partner fer life. To be courteous does not take much time, but it takes a little. He who would be courteous must not be in such haste that Le cannot be sympathetic, nor so absorbed that he cannot be consider ate for others. Many people mistake stubborn ess for bravery, meanness for economy and vile xtess for wit. Scalinsr Herrings. A peculiar feature of the smoked her ring industry in this country is the method by which the fish are scaled Enormous quantities of them apt captur ed in weirs and gill-nets and the catch thrown into boats. When a load has been secured the fisherman "treads them out" by walking briskly back sad forth through the mass of squirming objects at at the bottom of the boat. The motion of the fish upon each other and also the contact with the feet and legs of the "treader" quickly removes the scales. In the course of half an hour a skillful oper ator will thus scale four of five hogshead of the fish. Another method consists in using a piece of boar J about a foot long and four or five inckea in with, which is securely fastened to a long handle. This is thrust into the center of tlte mass and moved briskly about until by continued stirring the scale are moved in an incredibly short time. The work must be done while the fish are fresh, as otherwise the scalea be come set and can only be taken of with great dilliculty. Care is exercised in both processes, as if not systematically done, many of the catch will be only partially staled, and if stirred about or "trod out- for too long a time the flesh will be soft or bruised, in which case the catch will be le saleable, and, if the skin is broken, absolutely worthless. After scaling, they are washed and salt ed in tubs, barrels or hogsheads ; then strung on sticks, from twenty-five to thirty-five being placed on each, accord ing to their size. The next step consists in rewashing, to remove all the blood and dirt that has accumulated, and the strings are tb. nl tid on frames in the open air to drain and also ts harden and dry the gill-covers. This being accomplished they are taken to the smoke house prop erly erranged, the fire started and the smoking begins. Several kinds of wood are used for this purpose in different countries, white birch being preferred in France, while in England, Scotland and Holland oak chips and sawdust are considered the best. In this country pine logs that have been soaked in salt water are selected, as the salt renders the wood less inflammable and it also gives off a greater volume of smoke. Some ef the carers, when the smoking process is nearly completed, build a fire with oak logs for the purpose of giving a higher or brighter color to the fish. As a matter of fact, however, the woods make little or no difference, the chief idea be ing to get a kind that will burn slowly and at the same time yield a sufficient amount of smoke to cure the fish, and at the same time burn so slowly that there is no possibility or scorching them. "The Land of Fire." - "The mort interesting and strangest people in the world who ever came under my notice are the natives inhabiting the great Island of Terre del Fuego," said Captain Terrenby Jameson of the British army when at the Palmer House yester day. The captain's regiment is station ed at India, but the soldier is away on a three months furlough. He is returning home from atrip through South America. "The island is situated at the south ern end of the Continent, is called the 'Land of Fire,' because of the fires which the natives never permited to go out," continued Captain Jameson. "In every hut or hole in the ground along the coast where the natives live a fire is kept per petually burning, and on a calm day, when viewed from the ocean, hundreds of streaks of stuoVe can be seen circling toward the sky. The fires are kept burn ing, some say, on account of a strange re ligious belief of the Fuegans, as the na tives are called, but the real reason, I think, is because they have no way of making fire if the blaze becomes extin guished. It ia supposed the fire was orginally brought from a volcano in the Bordrilleras conturies ago. "The Fuegans are the most brutal tribe in the world, and are as fierce and savage as tigers. They have no forehead to speak of, their hair growing down to i heir eyes. They are large people, and no other tribe ever ventures too close to their territory. They lite like beasts, however, always eating everything raw. Their cb ief diet is the fish that are wash ed up on the beach during storms, and frequently they secure the carcaas of a wba le that become stranded on the beach The bodies of sailors also furnish them with food. Shipwrecks are frequent along the coast there, for some of the most severe hurricanes pass ever that part of the country. "The fires the Fuegans keep burning are only used for warmth. The climate is quite cold, but the natives are thinly clad, the only garment used being a cloak of some kind of skin. This they always wear over the shoulder on the windward s.de. But even thia they will sell for a cheap ornament or a choice piece of food When I was there I saw a Fuegaa wom an sell a sailor the cloak off her back fur a string of beads, and she walked away in a snowstorm in a nnde condition, con tent with her bagain." Chicago Tribune. Poisoned by Scrofula. Is ;the sad story of many lives made miserable through no fault of their own. Scrofula is more especielly than any oth er a hereditary disease, and for this aim pie reason : Arising frem impure and in sufficient blood, the disease locates itself in the ly niphatics, which are composed of white tissues ; there is a period of f e tal life when the whole body consists of white tissues, and therefore the unborn child is especially susceptible to thia dreadful disease. But there ia a remedy for scrofula, whether hereditary or ac quired. It is Hood's Sarsaparilla, which by its powerful effect on the blood ex pels all trace of the disease and gives lo the vital fluid the quality of health. If yoa decide to take Hood's Sarsaparilla, do;not accept any substitute. John Hamilton Brown, of Greenville, X.

Once Nebraska had been to visit at their neighbor's and started for home when it was nearly dark ; but as it was a moonlight nigh she did not fee! lonely, and had just thought, "What a lovely evening for a ride V when she heard pat tering steps. Looking around, she saw two wolves stealthily following. She urged her pony to its greatest speed and tried to think out what she should do, for she was by this time only half heme and seven miles from the nearest house. She kept perfectly still, because she knew that if she screamed before she was attacked, although it would scare the animal's away for a time, they would re turn, and would soon get used to the noise and net be frightened by it She felt certain so few of them would not dare attack her, for wolves are very cow ardly, but she also knew that they would summon the rest of the pack almost in stantly. The wolves were now in full pursuit, and she, glanced back, saw there ware three. She was alarmed indeed sow, and as they were gaining on her every minute, she knew something must be done if she was to reach home alive. She knew the wolves would not long hesitate to attack her, for there was quite a largo pack of them gathering. Her pony, too, ani fled danger, and the next instant, be fore she comprehended what he was going to do, he had turned and sprung right into the midst of the snarling pack, pawing and kicking rig'at and left ! He had not forgotten his wild habits, nor how he had many times saved him self from ferocious animals. And now his bravery stood his mistress in good stead, for as his feet came down on the wolves fierce yelps showed that he was not idealiog gentle taps. In a few sec onds there were four streU.-b.eJ dead oa the ground, and the others had fled. The young rider bad thought, so soon as she knew what he was going to do, that she was safe if she could keep on his back, and this required all the strength and skilL When the pack were gone she looked down at the dead bodies and shuddered as she thought of her narrow escape. With no Injuries and only a few anxious minutes she had se cured four dead wolves, worth more than fifty dollars. She dismounted and slung them over Pawnee's back and then hurried home. No need of saying that her father and mother were surprised to see her come up to the door and exhibit triumphantly four slain wolves. After the glorious exploit the pony was more petted than before. Did he not deserve it ? St. Xichula. How to Make Silhouettes. The candle or lamp may be placed on the table at the distance that ia found on trial to make the plainest shadow. The light should be a level with the head of a subject, so that there will be no distor tion of the features by the rays casting the shadow in a diagonal direction. By turning the head slightly and slowly a few times from side to side the profile can be cast perfectly in shadow, as it is easy to see when the head is turned too much to one side or the other. Have the "model" sit up erect, that the chin may not be sunk in frills or a high collar. Throw the head well back to give an in dependent, striking, lively attitude, yet not so far back that it looks strained. If the head droops the silhouette will prob ably look downcast or hump-shouldered. Don't let the model "assume" an expres sion for preservation. Let htm talk a moment or so while yoa watch the shad ow in profile oa the paper before you. Catch the most natural set of the lips or toss of the chin, and then let the subject maintain that position and expression, easily and naturally, with no pursing-up of the mouth or nervous gripping of the jaws. While he sits steadily for a moment, quickly and firmly trace the outlines of the shadow upon the paper with your pencil or crayon. Watch the sweep of the hair and indicate it easily ;n its waves, though that is s matter of second ary importance. See that you preserve the angles of the face, the bend of the brow to the bridge ef the nose, and the square, pendulous, rounding, snubbed, pointed, or Roman turn of the nose itself. Catch the sharp angle or curve where the nose turns into the upper lip as ex actly as possible, and the exact turn of the lips, thin add firm or tenderly pout ing, closely set or seftly dropped apart. See that you have the turn of the chin and the lower lip above it. Indicate the neck, shoulders and coat by strong, ex pressive outlines that will preserve the characteristics. And there you are. For hasty work, liquid blacking or dark ink will do to fill out the outlines, using either tho sponge ia the blacking bottle or a marking brash. The penciled out lines mast of coarse be carefully fol lowed. Do not finish the silhouette out to the edge of the paper. Let the lower part of the shoulders and bust go unconsidered. Draws curve downward from back to front, beginning just below the coat col lar and toughing the front of the outline at about the center of the cheat or a little above. This will give the effect of a me dallion head and a much more firished look to the work when completed. Si. Xicholtis. $10O Reward.

Id WHOLE NO. 2098. An Adventure in Cairo. One day when I was passing the hot hours ia the shaded rooms of the muse um, surrounded by seated granite figures with their hands oa tbeir knees (the coolest companions I know), I heard chattering and laughter. These are un usual sounds in those echoing halls, where unconsciously everybody whis pers, partly because of the echo, and part ly also, I.tbink, on account of the mystic mummy cases which stand oa end and look at one so queerly with their oblique eye. Presently there came into view ten or twelve Cairo ladies, followed by eunuchs, and preceded by a guide. The eunuchs were (as eunuchs generally are) hideous, though they represented all ages from a tali, lank boy of seventeen to a withered old creature well beyond sixty. The Cairo eunuchs are negroes; one distinguishes them always by the extreme case with a hich they are dress ed. They wear coats and trousers of black broadcloth made ia the latest Eu ropean style, with patent-ieather shoes, and they are decorated with gold chains, seal rings and scarf pins. They have one merit aa regards their appearance I know of but one they do look clean. The ladies were taking their ease ; the muttling black silk outer coats, which all Egy lian women of the upper class wear when they leave the house, had been thrown aside; the white face veils had been loosened, so that they dropped be low the chin. It was the harem of the Minister for Foreign A2irs ; their car riages were waiting below. The most mod eat of men a missionary, for in stance, or an entomologist would, I sup pose, have put them to flight; but as the tourist season was over, and as it wa luncheon time for Europeans, no one ap peared but myse'f, and the ladies strayed hither and thither as they chose, occa sionally stopping to hear a few words of the explanations which the guide (a woman also) was vainly trying to give before each important statue. With one exception, these Cairo dames were, to say the leapt, extremely plump; their bare hands were deeply dimpled, their cheeks round. They all had the same very white complexions without rose tints; their features were fairly good, though rather thick ; the eyes in each case were beautiful large, dark, lustrous, with sweeping lashes. Their figures, un der their loose garments, looked like feather pillows. They were awkward in bearin and gait, but this might have been owing to the fact that their small, plump feet (in white open-work cotton stockings) were squeezed into very tight French slippers with abnormally high heels, upon which it must have been dif ficult to balance so maay dimples. The one exception to the rule of bil lowy beauty was a slender, even meagrely formed girl, who in America would pass perhaps for seventeen ; probably she was three years younger. Her thin, dark, restless fare, with its beautiful, inquiring eyes, was several times close beside mine i as we both inspected the golden brace lets and ear-rings, the necklaces and fun, of Queen Ahhotpu, our sister ia vanity of three thousand five hundred years ago. I looked at her more than I did at the jewels, and she returned my gaze ; we might have had a conversation. SVhat would I not have given to be able to talk with her in her own tongue 1 Af ter a while they all assembled ia what is called the winter sarden. aa UD-stairs apartment, where grass grows over the floor in formal little plots. Chairs were brousht, anl they seated themselves amidst the aerial verdure to partake of sherbet, which the voungest eunuch handed about with a business-like air. While they were still here, much relaxed as regards attire and attitude, my atten tion was attracted by the sudden rush through the outer room (wkere I myself was seated) of the four older eunuchs. They had been idling about ; they had even gone down the stairs, leaving the youngest of their number the task of serving the sherbet ; but now they ail appeared again, and the swiftness with which they crossed the outer room and dashed into the winter garden created a brsez;. They called to their charges as they came, and there was a general smoothing do n of draperies. The eu nuchs, however, stood upon no cere mony ; they themselves attired the ladies in their muilling cloaks, aud refostened their veils securely, as a nurse dresaes children, and with quite as much au thority. I noticed that the handsomer faces showed no especial haste to disappear frem view ; but there was no real resist ance'; there was only a good deal of laugh ter. I dare say there was much more laughter under the veils when the cause of all this haste appeared, coming slowly up the stairs. It was a small rr.aa of sixty-five ar seventy, one of my own countryman, attired in a linea duster and a travel-worn hih hat; his silver-haired head was bent over his guide-book, and he wore hlue spectacles. I don't think he saw anything but blue antiquities, safely made of stone. Kurper't Mnaz'oe for October.

A traveler who visit ed some of the monasteries of the monks of St. Bernard a few years ago, found the monks teaching their dogs from the ear liest stages of puppyhood. Not only is peysical and mental training included ia the teaching, but spiritual culture is by no means neglected. At meal time the dogs sit in a row, each with a tin dish before him containing his repast. Grace is said by one of the monks ; the dogs sit motionlem with bowed heads. No one stirs until the ' Amea is spoken. If a frisky puppy partakes of his meal before grace is ever, an older dog grawls and gently togs his ear. Not Quite the Thing.

An incident that isnarmted of General McClel'an sheds light on the question oftea asked: "Why did h:s soldiers love him so dearly?" Whea the Army of the rotomuc left IlaJrLson Landing it marched tiNeaport Nwwg, along the north bank of the Juries River. The advance division begun its march early in the morning of August lo, but the rear division did not move out of camp until 3 o'clock ia the after noon of the same day. Just at dusk a creek was reached. It must be crossed, according to Southern custom, by fording, or by a single log by the roadside. The soldiers disliking to fill their shoes with water, were trying to cross on this single log, which, cf course, caused an obstruction to those behind, and really put the rear of the army ia danger. Soon several officers rode np and took ia the situatioa. There was aeed of mure haste. One of the officers called out : "Wade right through, my men ; ude ri'ht through." Some surly fellow from the rnks growled out: "Wade through yourself, and see how you like it." No sooner had bespoken than the o.U cer dismounted and waded through the creek. It was then discovered thut tha officer was GeDeral George B. MoCleliaa. The soldiers gave hint a hearty cheer, plunged into the creek and afterward the point was passed more rapidly, four abreast. The General might have reprimanded the soldier indeed, he miht have had him arrested and dealt with severely, but under the circumstances he did just tha right thing he went where he asked his men to go, and his men were glad to g where be led.

A Morgnn street landlord some t:;a ago had a curious experience, which il lustrates the superstition and credulity of the people. An elderly colored wom an was 'occupying a basement roia ia the house and for months paid no rent. He hated to have the old creature evict ed, and so sent the agent to seeifbouie thing could not be collected. To his sur prise the old woman refused to pay, and when the agfnt threatened to put her out, declared that if he did she would hoodoo the house. The stati of fa-t was reported to the landlord, who ordered her to be turned out without more ado. So a constable and one or two helpers put her and her belonging or.t into the street, while aa awestr'u ken crowd li.-i-ened to her frightful curses andjredic tions "of vengeance.
