Do we gather close together, Aud lit hushed and tender touo, Ask each other's full forgiveness For the wrong that each has done. Should you wonder why this custom At the endiug of the day. Eye and voice would quickly answer, " It was once our mother's way !" If our home be bright and cheery, if it hold a welcome true, Openlug wide Its door of greetiug To the many—not the few; If we share our father's bounty With the needy day by day, "Tis because our hearts remember This was ever mother's way. Sometimes when our hearts grow weary, Or our task seems very long, When our burdens looks too heavy, And we deem the r.ght all wrong, Then we gam a now, fresh courage, As we rise to proudly say, "Let us do our duty bravely, This was our dear mother's way." Thus we keep her memory precious, W hlle we never cease ts pray, That at last when lengthening shadows Mark the evening of life's day, They may tlnd us Siting calmly To go home our mother's way. THE COUSINS. Mariau Field stopped a moment at Buruliam and Buruham's window, aud her lovely blue eyes looked all tlie ad miration sbe felt at siglit of tbe tempt ing display of velvets and silks, laeee and ribbons, satins and all tbe hundred and one accessories of a lady's toilet. All tbe admiration and a little—just a litfle—purely feminine envy, and tben sbe turned ber face away to tiie quiet, plain, elderly lady wbo had stopped a moment waiting for ber. '*o Annie, how exquisite everything is! I wonder if it is awfully wicked in me to wish we were rioh and to bate Meredith Alwyn because we are not. Let's hurry away before 1 become per fectly savage." Her sweet, girlish laugh rippled out on tbe quiet evening air—a laugh that bad just a tinge of bitterness mixed with its eilver sweetness, and a gentle man wbo was accideutly passing at tbe moment, looked to see Marian's lovely face, with ber blue eyes and fair com plexion, to which tbe crisp December air had lent a delicate piuk tiuge, and bright golden hair that was lightly fluffy over her forehead and looking coquettishly becoming as it oaoaped from the pale-blue zephyr hood she wore. It was just the merest passing glauce he had, but enough to show him the surpassing loveliness of Marian and the quaint well-bredness of both Marian and her sister. And then, as they passed further away into the dusk of the night, he went ipto a quiet little sliop # next Burnham and Bumham's brilliantly illuminated shop-windows, interested into inquiring of the pleasant-faced lad who, standing at the door, had heard and seen the ladies. The lad went briskly round to his poet behind the counter at his custom er's entrance. 4 T want some cigars—l believe that was what 1 wanted, at least until the sight of that girl that just now passed drove it from my'head. Who are they, do you know? The young shopman promptly selected the choicest cigars, talkiug pleasantly the while. "You most mean Miss Field and Miss Marian. They just went by. Miss Marian is called the prettiest girl here abouts; 1 think." The gentleman smiled at the young fellow's enthusiasm. "I quite agree with you; I think I never saw a more perfect faee. Field— I think I've heard the name before." 41 And there's such a romance con nected with them!" the clerk went cn. "To-day they have to earn their own living, while six months ago they were the heiresses to the Deaconwoode es tate. They were born and brought up on the place, and not until all of a sud den was it discovered that somebody had a letter claim OH it than they —a first nephew to old Mr. Field, and these young ladies were second nieces, and so the lawyers made a row about it, and Miss Field and Miss Marian walked out as patient, pr >ud and smil ing as ever, and took up their quarters down town, and earn theij little salary that wouldn't buy the toilet water they used to order." 4 'Quite a remarkable experience for two young ladies, and you have told it well It really is a pity. A fine night." And Mr. Meredith Alwyn nodded to his diffuse young friend and took him self slowly thoughtfully, up the street that led directly to the magnificent es tate of Deaconwoode. "Beggars—those splendid women— that lovely-voiced, sapphire-eyed girl, fit to sit on the grandest throne under heaven! Beggars—through my accept ance of Uncle Cyril Field's legacy! Why didn't some one tell me the atrocity of such wholesale lascalityi Is it fate, I wonder, that threw them directly in my path almost the hour of my arrival in th's strange place whither I had come to see my new accession? And how shall I see again?" 44 Will we doit? Why, Annie, of course we will do it! It would be a direct fly- MILLILEIM, PA.. THURSDAY, AUGUST 3.1882. iug in the face of Providence to refuse such a god-send. II won't be any trouble for dear old Elsie to oook for oue more, aud that big empty room that looks out on the chimnoys of Doacou woodo—we will never use that, room Auuie. Aud only think—ten dollars a week! it will tido us through the winter so comfortably." Aud so it came to pass that Mr. Meredith Alwyu took possession of the room in the Field sister's cottage that looked out on the chimueys aud tur rets and towers of Deaconwoode — took possession as their boarder, and gavo his name as Curtis, and in course of time very uaturally came to be on the most excellent terms with them. Ono day Miss Field, in a particularly confidential mood, told him all about the romance of their lives; how until about so lately they had lived their life of elegauce aud ease at Deaconwoode, and how the prospect of tin ir future had faded as completely aud suddenly as a beautiful dream. "Whoever this usurping heir is he must be a double-dyed rascal—selfish to the heart's oore—to have defrauded you so." Mr. Curtis seemed remarkably em phatio in his denunciations. "Oh, I would not think that," Miss Field said, in her gentle, womanly way, 4 'because he certainly had a rigiit to it, and I dare say he was delighted at bis good fortune, and surely he ought -to enjoy it." "I don't know about that, Miss Field, I think it simply inhuman for any mau to turn two delicately-bred women out of their home of elegance and ease, as this villain has turned you out. Pel haps he did not know, but he should have beeu told, aud ho certainly should at least have divided." Miss Field smiled. 4 'But people are uot often so gene rous, Mr. Curtis. Yes, for Marian's sake it would be pleasant; but I don't know. The discipline of adversity and the necesrity for effort are making a grand woman of her, while I must con fess I rather shrink in distaste." An hour or so later he and Marian went out for a little stroll—they had fallen into that habit lately. "We were talking al>out Deacon woode and that detestable cousin of yours—Miss Field and I. Do you know we both agree that it is a piece of Beli ishness that he doesn't divide with you under such peculiar circumstances?" Marian laughed. "That's nonsense, Mr. Curtis, and I shaU not allow you and Annie to discuss such incendiary topics. Divide? Of course not—do you thiuk I'd accept charity at the hands of Meredith AlwvnV Deaconwoode is lawfully his—let him keep it—dearly as I love it, every stone, every tree, every room, every picture." Her impetuous young voice thrilled out, brave, almost* defiant, as they walked along in the gathering dusk. Then he suddenly called her' name in a tone that instantly brought a flush to her cheek. "Marian!" "It was the first time he hod omitted the formality of tbe prefacing title. "Yes? 1 ' "I am jealous of Deaconwoode be cause you love it so, and I want you to love me! Marian, my darling, tell me if you can—it you do! Marian, sweet, I love you so -if you will let me!" It did not need more than one look into her eyes to read his answer. "I—cannot help it—can I?" she said, slyly, and then, on the quiet suburban road, in the gloom o? the early night fall, he took her in his arms and kissed her over and over again. * 4 'And now," he said, au she nestled on his arm and they turned their steps homeward, "about this Deaconwoode affair. You, of course, have no objec tion to going back there? You have so imperiously declared you will not ao cept your cousin Meredith Alwyn's charity that there remains only one more course open. That is to ask you to resume your sweet sway there as rightful owner, and—Meredith Curtis Alwyn's wife—my own little blue-eyed darling. It is yes, again. Because you know you cannot help yourself, nor will you want to if you love me, little Cousin Marian, little wife Marian 1" And that was the way they went back home. Odd Delivery of Letter#. A short time ago Captain Crawford, while towing a vessel picked up ,out from land, a board about three inches wide by three feet long, upon one end of which was a bottle filled with wine, while UDon the other end was another bottle filled with letters, Upon one side of the board was written: "Please mail the letters and drink the wine. Of ficers U. S. Steamer Tallapoosa, bound for Pensaoola, Fla. Please break the bottle and mail enclosed letters." Upon the othV-r side of the board was written : U. S. steamer Tallapoosa, at sea June 20, 'B2. Weather fiue." The bottle containing the letters was broken. Cap tain Crawford sighted the Tallapoosa in the distance and everything seemed to be working smoothly. He returned to Mayport in time to hand the letters to Mr. George L. Fox, the mail agent, who delivered them to Colonel Jay upon arriving at the city, and they were im mediately forwarded North. Same UuesrUiM of Birds. Did you eyer soo a candlo made out of a bird? I suppose not, unless you liuve beeu iu the Faroe Islands,aud very few people visit their lovely shores. The inhabitants of those islands live iu a very simple aud old-fashioned way, and nearly everything they use is a home made article. Thousands of sea-birds build their nests on the rocks there, and the young birds are "as fat as butter." The islau deis take these young birds, nfu wicks through their bodies uutil they are soaked with grease, light one end of the wick, aud there's your home made caudle. Another kiud of a bird is usod in Australia as a substitute for ooufeotio uery. It is a species of parrot, called loray, which feeds ou fruit aud graiu aud has a place iu its throat whefre all the aweot parts of the things it eats col lect aud form a kiud of honey. As soou as au Australian savage shoots one of these birds, he puts its bill luto his mouth, squeezes its throat, aud sucks away just as boys do with oran ges. Theu he pulls the leathers out aud sticks them iu his hair, aud after tliat he takes the bird home to Mrs. Savage to be cooked. Perhaps, when Mr. S. is iu a particu larly good humor, he brings a loray or two home to his wolly headed family without first extracting all the "nice part." In a "great many cities of tropical America block vultures (or turkey buz zards, as they are commonly called in this oountry) do the most important part of the street-cleaning. They de vour everything they find which would be liable to decay, and so they keep off peatdeuces, or at least prsveut their coming from that cause. It is against the law t3 molest the buzzards iu auy way, and, as they march around the streets or ait at their ease in the sunshine, they seem to be well aware that they are city officials, and of quite as much importance as the mayor himself. Iu China, tame cormorants are used to supply the markets and the tables of their owners with fish. Rings are placed ou their necks, loose enough to allow them to breathe, but too tight to admit of their swallowing. Theu they are takeu to a fish-pond or stream, strings are fastened to their legs, and they are allowed to "go a-fishing." They dive and bring up fish, and, while they are struggling violently to swallow what they have capturen, they are drawn to the shore by the striug, their prey is taken away from them,aud they are sent iu to try again. When the baskets are full, the rings are taken off, and the cormorants are allowed to do a little extra work on their own account. If human laborers were treated in this way, there would certainly be troub le, but, a? far as known, these feathered employees have never organized a strike. It is no longer the fashion to use hawks aud falcons as bird killers, but pigeons are made to do duty as letter carriers, and at the siege of Paris they formed the best means of communica tion with the outside world. Thirty miles an hour is the usual rate of their speed, and they sometimes travel even faster. The bird's object in ifiaking the journey is to get back to its young squabs, from which it is taken away before being employed in this way; and, as it is kept in a dark place aud without food for eight hours before being let loose, it no doubt considers the point from which it is sent a good place to get away from as soon as possi ble. • The uses of birds are 4 'too numerous to meution." The most important of the many good things that they do for ns is to keep the worms and insects, that destroy vegetation, from becoming too numerous. If all the birds should suddenly die, meal and flour would soon become very scarce and high, and thousands of peo ple would starve. Boys would find that their fathers couldn't afford to give them much faioncy to spend, and everything would be dearer than it is now. ljeaviug out such robbers as the crows, birds are among our best friends; and children who kill them and rob their nests, "just tor fun," do a great deal or harm to themselves and everybody else. Borne time ago, an association of "bird-defenders" was formed among American boys and girls, and this hon orable society is one of those which certainly ought to livelong and prosper. Cremation. The subject of creinatiou, in its me dicolegal aspect, is receiviug much at tention from medical societies at home and abroad. It is evident that if any one who may procure death by poison is careful to have the body incinerated before suspicion can point to hi in, he may in most instances completely de stroy all substancial evidence of liis crime. That a man should have pro cured arsenic before a crime has been consummated is not sufficient proof that he has committed a murder. It must be shown that he administered it. After cremation this is impossible, for arsenio is volatile, An English Jockey. An English correspondent in writing about Archer th • noted jockey, says : imagine u tall, emaciuted-lookiug man, oadeverous of countenance, with large, projecting lips, u slight stoop, decidedly round shoulders and long, somcwhut misshapen legs, Picture this mau, wrapped in an overcoat and shivering as though nearly every gust of wind went right through his slender frame. Such is the premier jockey of England. I ahold be sorry to say that Archer is of a pronounced money-hoardiug aud mi serly turn of mind; but it looks very mueii as though such were the case. He has always beeu notorious for excessive thrift; no one ever knew him to throw about money with anything approaching recklessness or even generosity. He has amassed laigo sums aud promptly stowed them away securely and care fully. It is said, on good authority, that he is worth quite $350,000, and moreover he is shortly to be married to the daughter of one of tne richest train ers in England. "Lately, however, he has developed a tendency for increasing iu weight, and this seems to trouble him immensely. Why he should wish to ooutiuue riding in races no ono with any sense can divine. He would surely do well to retire; but ho will listen to no advice of this kind. Some spoken people say his greed for making money can not be overcome. Anyhow, all I know is that he Has to treat his system most cruelly iu order not to "scale" above 117 pounds. For three days before the City and Suburban I am told by those who really should know, Aroher]took very little sustenance of any description. Milk and vege tables he absolutely eschewed, his diet cousistmg chiefly of bread aud tea taken without sugar. Archer doaa not keep down his weight by pedestrian exercise. I believe his enfeebled frame is inca pable of the necessary exertion. He goes in for "strong physicking," and any one with common sense must kuow how injurious this is to the system. Now aud then he breakfasts off a couple of seidlitz powders, or somethiug simi larly purgative aud cheerful, aud he has been knowu positively to fill himself with drugs. The reason simply is he al ready looks Tike a weazened and shrunk en old man. After the first race yester day I saw him quivering and shaking from head to foot with the exertion the race had cost him, and it is a fact that he had to imbibe half a pint of cham pagne ere he could study himself suf ficiently to ride in the City and Subur ban. Again, I say a man who will thus trifle, and who will play fast aud loose with his constitution, caunot bo com mended upon the score of wisdom. 11 may happen that when Archer fiually re tires from the "pig-skiu" he may "fill out," and become to a certain extent ro bust and hearty, but I doubt it. He looked deplorable enough yesterday to raise hopes in the mind of an underta ker. I learn, however, that he has re solved to continue at work right through the preseut season, and I should think that no oue who knows him will euvy him the task he has set himself, no mat ter about the money ho hopes to gain. Cattle Kings of Montana. Forty eight years ago John Saunders, one the wealthiest cattle kings of Montana, who was then a poor youth, with nothing to recommend him but a spotless repnta tion and a brave heart, fell in love with a Kentucky belle, whose father was a riclr man; hut the par 'nts of the young woman refused his consent to the marriage, and was inexorable. Young Saunders was to honorable to press his suit in a family where his presence was unwelcome. He sought an interview with the gir.*s pir ents, who, for the twenty-th rd and last time, told him to abandon all hope o'" marriage as lar as their daughter was con cerned, as the difference in their social positions was an insurmountable barrier "How much are vou worth?" asked the voung lover. "Transfer my property into $1,000,000, cash," was the haughty re ply. "Very well," answered youn; Saunders, "To-morrow morning I leave for the west to carve out a fortune, an I when i can size up your $1,060,000 1 wil return and claim my bride, for 1 know she will be true." The young man ke; t his promise after a long and sorrowful in terview with his inamorata, and with a small outfit struck out bravely for tl e western territories. Since that time forty eight years have elapsed, during which, with va-yiog success, he has dipped into numerous enterprises, from the British line to Sonora. Hence he came to Mon - tana in early days and embarked in the cattle business with a firm of Helena with such success that the firm now owns nearlv 20,000 head on the Teton. About month ago Saunders figured up his assets, concluded he was worth a million, and left for Ken tucky He found the girl of his young days waiting for him, confident and hope ful of his final arrival. The two were married with as little ceremony as possib'e They have arrived in ' Butte, and after u short visit will proceed to their home in Teton Valley. ▲ Tin Bane. Mrs. Boger's hair would not he flat in a bang. It had been brushed back for forty years, and refused to stay the other way. But bangs Wtere fashionable in the suburb of Chicago where she lived, and she couldn't bear to go with out one. So she wore a properly shaped piece of tin over her forehead mornings to train the hair the way it should go. The value of the device for the purpose intended is not indicated in the account, but it saved her life, for when a drunken neighbor fired at her the bullet struck th# tin and glanced off. Mold Hank Bokbors. "I was at the next oorner of the street in Brookfield, Mo., when the bank of that plaoe was robbed," said Mr. Maters, "and saw all that any outsider could. The exact time was 3.35 o'elock when I saw four men on horseback dash up to the front of the bonk. Two stepped inside, one stood in the door firing his gun up aud dowa the street and the other held the horses. It has been thought and reported that there were six men iu the job, but I am quite sure that there wore only four. Cashier Brownley noticed that the men had false beards on. He at once hurried all his mouey into the safe, but before he could lock it heard the firing up at the Brookfield. The man at the door sang out for every to get inside and then began banging away. It was all over in about three minutes, and they were riding away as fast as they could drive, shooting and hollering. As theyweat into the bank there was a dry goods man named Ross, whose place is quite near, who saw them, and ran out to the street shouting : 4 'The bank's being robbed 1" as loud as he could. The party im the door told him to get iu aud fired in his direction, but Ross never budged. The gang seemed perfectly 0001, as yen may know by their stop ping before getting out of the town, right in front of Conductor Miles' house, while one of them got down and tightened the girtli. The other three hurried him, but he \ookedatthe saddle slowly, and wondered what was the mat ter w.th the thiug, anyway. "Every one began to muster horses for the pursuit. As it so happened most of the good horses were at Lin ueus, the couuty seat, where court was being held, so the chase was taken up at a disadvantage. City Marshal Mo- Arthur had an old racer, and was the best mounted, so much so that before the robbers had got two miles he was within 300 yards of them. He didn't dare get within nearer range as they kept up a constant ire at him, but he hung that close to their heels for thirty miles." "Did any one attempt to-stop them ?" 44 The only attempt I know of was made by John A. Tooey, a drug clerk. He jumped into a buggy and drove through a side street, heading them off. He grabbed a gun when he left the •tore and blazed away as they passed. One of the men fell off his horse and John thought he had killed him sure, but he was in the saddle aud off again in no time. The whole four fired at John, and one ball went through the dasher of the buggy, and would have hit him, if he had not slid out one side when he saw them aim. The party was in town al>out fifteen minutes altogether." Cat clitnc Bears. An Indian hunter who knew of two litters of cubs which he intended to cap ture as soon as they were old enough to be taken from their dam, was antici pated in one case by a black cat and in the other by a fox. The latter paid the penalty of his adventure with his life, and was found iu the den literally torn into shreds by the furious bear. The fox had killed one of the cubs aud the old bear hoping to find a more secure place, had gone off with the two remain ing cubs. Upon another occasion he was not so fortunate. Stimulated by the large price offered by the officers of a garrison town for a pair of live cubs, he was indefatigable in his efforts to find a den. One day, when accompanied by his little son, a boy of ten, he discov ered unmistakable traces of a bear's den near the top of a hill strewn with gran ite boulders, aud almost impassable from the number of fallen pines. Oue old pine had fallen up hill, and its up roared roots, with the soil clinging to thepi, formed, with a very large rock, a triangular space, into which the snow had (Lifted to the depth of ten or twelve foet. The Indian was about to pass on, when he detected the whining of bear eul>s. By making a detour he reached a place ou a level with the bottom of the boulder, aud there saw the tracks of an old bear, leading directly into the center of the space between the tree foot and the boulder The older bear, in her comings and goings, had tunnelled a passage under the snow drift. Getting down on his hands and knees, the In dian, with his knife held between his teeth, crept, bear fashion, into the tun nel. After entering several feet he found the usual bear device—a path branching off in two directors. While jxmdering what to do under such cir cumstances, a warning cry came from his little son, who was perched on the top of the boulder, and the next instant the old bear came rushing into the tun nel, and came into violeut contact with the Indian, the shock causing the tun nel to cave in. The Indian, after deal ing the' bear one blow, lost his knife in the snow, and seized the bear with his hands; but she proved too strong for him, and was the first to struggle out of the drift, when, unfortunately, she met the little Indian boy, who had climbed down to his father s rescue. He re ceived a tremendous blow on the thigh from the bear's paw as she passed, which crippled him for life. Four days aiterward the Indian, determined to avenge the death of his son by slping the old bear, returned to the den and found her lying dead upon the snow in front of the boulder ; his one blow had gone home and the poor creature had crawled back to her young to die v The Indian dug away the snow and found the cubs ; one was dead and the others died before he could reach the camp. —Vegetables are .dearer in England, as a rule, than they are in the United States, Food for tfei Climate,' We have bills of fare of the North. We have either a dedicating snmmer in which the energies and appetites are parched, or the over saturated skies of August, when muscle and bodily tone are limp and languid, and in both of these conditions the thermometer and the example of semi-tropical peoples ought to be studied. Fruits and fruit juices we need vastly more than meats and meat juices, vegetable soups, th</ succulent vegetables, the farinas,- the light cheeses, the fresh fish, the nuts, the grapes, the raisins, the mushroons and the omelettes, the curd and whey. Maccaroni, chestnut olives, salads beans, poultry, small birds, melons, these are the home foods of Italy and Spain, with mutton and rice as you travel further eastward and into another civilization still. There is no country in the world where garden vegetables are so prof use as in America, because we have the products of Mexico naturalized in the North, and the truck patches of all countries except Japan, which is rich in some that are yet strangers here. Item—While the florists are importing choice yarieties of Japan shrubs and choice ornamental trees why doesn't somebody bring -over the soy bean, which is called the Japanese garden beefsteak, precisely as the mushroom is the field beefsteak of France ? It is certainly much pleas an ter for the cooks, at least* the skilled ones, to serve up light dishes that tempt the appetite in the hottest morning or the most air tight evening on a cool table cloth than to * "baste" a huge joint for hours in a needlessly hot oven that keeps the whole house uncomfortable.

If you would only take 'MyJNovel' down from the forgotten corner in the book-cases, and turn to that delightful description of the liiccabocca hospitality, how the poor Italian gentleman had taught his English wife to make fruit syrups, and serve them out to summer thirsty visi tors in simple and elegant fashion you would learn how to be hospitable per haps to yourseh ei. You would consid er it a penance no doubt, to be put on German mush and milk, but your com plexion would be the better lor it, and you would feel more like dancing at the ship-hops at Snug Harbor.

It is the privilege of the family phy- • sician to give instruction by gibes and threats ; but here is a huge family of nearly a million Philadelphians, and their neighbors in the country round, who are troubling themselves to get a Russian-English diet three times a day, when what they want are the Mediter ranean foods until the middle of Sep tember at least. _ . Tb DMTfcrenc# la Girls. An old man got into a street car with his umbrella as wet as it is possible for an umbrella to be. The seats were all fall, and be closed bis umbrella and put the point down on the floor, as he sup posed, bat in fact be put it right into the low shoe of one of these sweet, modest girls, right on to her stocking, and the dirty water more than poured down into ths shoe. At first she locked as though she would move her foot, aad call bis attention to what he was doing, but hs seemed to relent, and with a resigned expression, as though he hoped be was not going to ride many blocks, or perhaps somebody would get out and give him a seat, looked out of the window. Once she moved her bead as though she would ,lcok down at her shoe to see how near full of water it was. After a few miuutes she began to shiver, which was conclusive evidenca to some that the water was coming up around her insteps, and was gradually overflowing the banks. Finally she be came nervous and when a girl begins to get nervous something has got to be dene. She blushed and touched him on the hand that held the umbrella handle with her little, fluttering finger and said : "May I ask you sir, without seeming to be impolite, to do me a favor ?" "Why, certainly, miss," said the old man, as he looked down at her, "What is it ?" "Will you please take your umbrella out of my shoe for a moment, and let me take the shoe off and empty it ?" "For heaven's sake, miss, was my umbrella in your shoe ? I beg pirdon," and he took it out. "It's of no consequence at all," said the little lady as she turned np her shoe on the sde and let the black cambric water rim out. "There, you can put it right back, or if you would prefer a dry shoe for your umbrella you can|put it i* this other one." * But the old man blushed and moved off toward the other end of the car, and stepped on another girl's foot. Tho other girl was not that kind of a retiring child of nature, and she looked up at the old blunderbuss with fire in her eye and every red hair on her head aeaniug business and said: "Can't you keep off of people's feet ? you had better ride in a sprinkling cart when you go anywhere. don't you look where you are walking ? I don't see what the city bought a stone • cutter for, when you walk on a stone quarry and furnish cobble-stones ior pavement." "The old man pulled the bell-rope and putting his umbrella under his arm he walked the whole length of the car, knocking off several hats with his um brella, but he didn't mesh any feet, for all the passengers put their feet under the seat. It beats all what difference there is in girls. NO 31.
