BLOOMSBUI1G, PA., FRIDAY, APRIL 9,
Till! LADIES' TUBE.
My lmsliand nml I remained on Mr.
Caidowo'n Dorselsliire pruiivrty for myro
than a year, and after that Mr. Cardewe
wrote to Clinrley to como iii ngaln to the
Manor, ni ho wished to have him look
after tlio young plantations hlch wcru
being formed.
The flint news that greeted lis wni that
Mr, Hemphill, who had always Irimi kind
to us, was an good as engaged to be mar
ried to Miss Anderson, whoso parents
lived near Bournemouth. She was a
very lovely girl; and every ono whs
pleased to think that Mr. Hemphill nnd
she hnd mado It up together, after all.
There was a little story connected with
this young lady. She was something of
an heiress, it was known, and many peo
ple had mado oilers for her to her
parents. Capt. Martyn Henry, who had
been at tho Manor, and who was again
expected this samo summer, had, 1 knew,
been ono of her admirers. Hut although
everything seemed satisfactory, the im
pending rumored engagement wns ended.
Capt. Henry went abroad in u hurry, and
people said very unkind things concern
ing him. Hut Miss Anderson was evi
dently fond of him.
However, after awhile she appeared its
pretty and cheerful as ever. Mr. Hemp
hill on his part seemed quite happy.
Miss Anderson rode to the hounds to tho
very lniddlo of April, and ho wanted xo
marry her in June. Everything was pre
paring. She was certainly a lino girl.
Such eyes! bold black ones. Such
lovely hulr, and a figure which was, iu
her riding-habit, perfection. Her man
ner was (pliet and shy at llrst, but they
told mo she "improved" wonderfully
after awhile; and there was no daring or
nlmost reckless thing she would not do
if she was delled to it. That is not my
idea of improvement, but being only a
dressmaker, 1 hardly know.
However, she came and stayed with
the Cardewos; and Mr. Hemphill rodo
over day after day. One day it was
very thundery and stormy, and just as
tho rain was beginning, into our little
house the young pair came for shelter.
When the thunder stopped rolling they
went into the jiorcli; and the day being
hot and sultry, though only May, tho
house-door was open. I was washing
things, and could hear their voices, and
sometimes even what they said, without
minding.
The tones in which Miss Gladys con
tradicted poor Mr. Hemphill, and tho
mild, bubmissivo way iu wliich ho put up
with it all, astonished mo. That any
man would behave as he did I couldn't
have boliovedl I'd like to see Charley
put up with such "tantrums" as Miss
Anderson's! Now, I said to myself, I sea
the reason of Capt. Henry's and Mr.
Elliott's sudden "crying oil." They could
not put up with her temper, of coiii-m;;
and I wonder Mr. Hemphill did. He
Beemcd afraid to contradict her.
Tho shower passed. The sandy soil
licked up the drops, and everything re
mained as parched and dry as possible.
A single match dropped in the under
wood would have set the whole planta
tion and all the gorse in a blaze. Tho
keepers wero particularly desired to 1m
on the watch for smokers, who might in
a moment, by accident or for "fun," set
fire to the wholeof the furzo, and bum us
up too.
Mr. Hemphill and Miss Anderson were
discussing this when Dr. Joiillo rodo
past, and stopped suddenly. Ho was a
special friend of tho Andersons, and
often visited them, dined, and evon slept
there at times. Mr. Hemphill greeted
him at once, but Miss Gladys looked sul
len when he came up.
"1 wish I hail seen that lire," Miss
Anderson was saying; "I would give any
thing to see a good fire. Some day wo
will have another."
"Have another!" cried Mr. Hemphill;
"you can't mean that, Gladys!"
"Havo you seen Capt. Martyn Henry,
Mr. Hemphill?" inquired tho doctor.
"Xo, has ho returned?"
Miss Anderson's face was pale as
death.
"Is there anything the matter, Gladys?"
asked Mr. Hemphill.
"Nothing" she said. "Dr. JolilTe, will
you come hack to the Manor with us?"
and they rodo away.
When Charley came in he was in a
terrible hurry.
"Lot's have tea, Lucy," ho said almost
beforo ho was well in the house. "I
must go out at once and keep an eye
round the plantations. There has been
some "tippers" across to-day, and I doubt
they'll have left something after them,
and the place is all as dry as tinder. A
A spark would burn us in our beds."
Just then a messonger rode up from
Mrs. Carduwo for Charloy and myself to
go to tho Manor. She wanted to see me
about some dressmaking. Mrs. Cardewe
made me stay and take tea with Mrs.
Jones, the fiousekeeper, and she sent two
of the boys to Hnd Charley, and tell him
to come hack to tho Manor when his
work was over, and fetch mo and baby.
ThenMrs. Jones and I scatil ourselves for
a nice long chat, not that I care much for
gossip, as a rule, but when with friends
a little exchange of sentiments is pleas
ant. Wo hadn't talked very long when Hill
Swain came in all excited.
"Oh, mum! awful, mum! Mr. Farmer
he has sent mo for help. Thegonjo isa-llro
and tho plantation's in danger. It's bad,
that it is!"
I jumped up and called the girl Emily.
"Hern, Kmlly; hold baby till I come
back. The gorse is a-fne, and Mr.
Farmer is there. Quick!"
I put on my things; and by tho timo I
was ready tho men and helpers wero hur
rying away to tho place where the lire
was. The smoke was already curling
over the treo-tops; and as wo knew the
wholo placo was as dry as tinder, the (lru
would sproau rapidly.
As I came out I saw Miss Anderson nnd
Mr. Hemphill. He was trying to dis
euade her.
"Oladys, my doatcst "
"Mr. Hemphill, please do not interfere,
You have no right to prevent me, I will
go to this lire. I particularly want to se
it. You need not come unless you
please.
He looked at her almost witli tears in
Ills eyos. But he was patient with her
and said;
"Very well, dear, as you like."
She drew herself up haughtily, I could
have lsixiil her ears had she lieeu my
girl, Ho was too geutlowitliher. Somo
women don't value a man unless hu is
pretty hard with them, and ixior Mr.
Hemphill wasn't hard enough for Miss.
Gladys.
Sho set olf by herself, uud he followed
her; thf doctor uud all the stable-men
had already gone. HillSwalu ranio with
me. Hound in the farm-yard tho men
were calling out fur help; and the coiiie
try was up.
All the men turned nut servants,
grooms, Iniys, lalwrers, All hurried olf
towards the plantation, where, beyond
tho fir-wood, the llames, stirred by a
westeily wind, wero already advancing
in their llery progress. We had not got
clear of the high road lieforo wo could
perceive the ilamcs high iu the air, and
great rolling curls und puffs of tmoke
rising over the tree-toiia. Men with
brunches of trees, and spades aud forks,
were riiunhii; uloui; the road, and then
up the lane toward tho furze common,
which was well alight. The young trees
wero standing out dark iu front of the
flic. It was a grand sight, and one I
Bhaliiot easily forget. A fine sight, in
deed, but tenlblel
Beyond the belt of flame, lu front of
It, a number of men wero endeavoring
to cut away the troes and gorso so as to
deprive tho (Ire of Its fuel. Closo liehind
the flames, and at the sides, wero men
with branches of trees beating the firo
out ns well as they could. Hut more
than once they had to retreat, as tho
tongues of fire darted suddenly at them,
and licked up the grass and gorse almost
under their feet. Three parties of men
wero converging towards an old decayed
tree a hollow dry trunk, as dry ns touch
wood. In a few minutes that treo would
be in the very heart of tho Arc; nothing
could savo it.
Then the wind suddenly changed, and
we saw the ilro spread. We wailed, and
watched the great toweling llames, Mr.
Hemphill, tho doctor, und other gentle
men camo rushing up, darting hither
nnd thither, beating, calling, directing.
Mr. Cardewe, at tho head of the laborers,
was equally active. The lire was Increas

Nothing could sat e it. I'oor old treel
Every ono was sorry. It had been a
landmark for years and years, and .was
called the "Ladles' Tree." There was
some tradition, some old prophecy,
about it, as it marked Mr. Anderson's
property where it wns divided from Mr.
Hemphill's.
I knew tlio legend well. It was to the
elfect that when the tree was dead the
Hemphill's would be childless
"When passes away the Ladies' Tree,
No Dalies in Hemphill's hall shall be."
The verse came into my mind, and I
said to the ladies' maid, who had run
out with the rest to see the sight:
"A poor look-out for Miss Gladys!"
But wo had no time to talk much.
The men, whether they believed In the
legend or not, were doing all they could
to prevent the lire from reaching the
tree. They did not succeed. The llames
seemed to rush round, and even to spring
frpm the tree itself. Wo cried out,
"Savo the treel" but no one could get
near it, until the flames had united round
the trunk and utterly concealed it, so
ilerce was this famous "hush-lire."
"My gracious me, Eliza, what's that?
iook! There is something in the tree!"
I exclaimed. "Thero is something alive!"
"Sure enough, It looks like it!" cried
Eliza. "See, it comes out! It's a
woman!"
A cry of alarm and horror rent the
air a groan of anguish from all. The
ilgure was now plainly seen tho
woman was standing uihiii one of tho
lower branches, waving her hand wildly!
It was Mks Anderson herself! She
was calling for help. Help, indeed! But
it looked as if no help could ever reach
her. I heard her voice plainly now; and
you will scarcely lielievo me she was
laughing, a queer, wild laugh.
"Save her! Save hr!" screamed men
nnd women.
But no one would venture. The llames
formed a liarrier impassable. Death a
cruel death awaited any one who
crossed the terrible belt of lire, which
roared and crackled like the furnace of
Ncbucliadnezzar.
Mr. Anderson spurred his horse reck
lessly toward the belt of fire. Tho ani
mal reared and nearly threw him. Miss
Anderson had, as wo supposed, got into
the tree thinking herself safe, hut a sud
den shift of wind had carried the ilainea
toward her, and she teemed doomed.
"Five hundred pounds to the man who
will make the effort! Five hundred npieco
to any of you!"
One man had not waited. A man with
his noso and mouth tied up in a wetted
handkerchief rushed through tho smoke.
It was Mr. Hemphill, true to the last.
But his courage was of no avail. Ho
nearly reached the foot of tho tree, but
fell. Three men rushed in, but only two
reached him; the third, black and
scorched, camo out again staggering,
blinded, burnt. The others did succeed
iu reaching him, and at tho peril of their
lives dragged Mr. Hemphill to tho wind
ward side of the llames, which were still
roaring to leeward, as Charley said.
We wero all silent and horrified, when
suddenly a loud shout came over the
lields. A man, riding a beautiful black
horse, leaped tho hedge, and dashed,
spurring hard, across the common land.
The horso was blindfolded, and rushed
recklessly on. Tho rider scattered the
workers and spectators. They paused
for a moment, and then, with a cheer,
the horseman plunged into thetlamoand
smoke, which were passing away from
the treo now at the base, but the tree it
self was bunting. In another moment
the rider was oir his horse, which rushed
away blindly by itself. The gentleman
swung himself into tho smouldering treo
witli deiierutu courage, tore -Miss Ander
son from her place between the branches,
whero she sat, half-insensible, and low
ered her to thp ground. Sho fell in a
heap, apparently dead.
Tbe gentleman dropped down and
lifted her up, By this time some labor
ers had summoned up courage too, aud
rushed in as the fire abated. Hetwetr
them they lifted and carried oir Mi&s
Anderson, who was borne to our littlo
house, quite insensible. I hurried after
them, and met them at the door. Thero
I came face to face witli Capt. Martyn
Henry! Ho had saved Mia Anderson,
then! Hour Mr. Hemphill!
She remained insensible for some time,
but we got her round by degrees; and in
our house sho remained for threo weeks.
Mr. Hemphill called everyday, and more
than once a day, and at last was per
mittiHl to see her. She was sitting up
then, and gave him her hand. You can
imagine his greeting; but she wns very
quiet, and scarcely spoke. At length,
after awhile, she said (I heard her; 1
couldn't help it, as I was iu tho next
room);
"Arthur, you have lieen very kind und
brave. I hear you risked your life to
save mine. How can I thank you? You
have suireral, too, 1 see. And for me I"
"My darling, there is one way in
which yuu can make me supremely
happy. If you will bcvuiiiu my wife

"Oh, don't, don't please! I can notl
Oh, Arthur Mr, Hemphill I can not
speak of that !"
"Well, not juid now perhaps, Gladys,
darling. Hut when yen have quite re
coveredwhen I am nioio presentable,
then wn will arnuige it all."
Shu murmured something, and then
sho said, aloud, as if she had nerved her
self to speak out:
"Arthur, would you think ino very
wicked if I said I can not I would
rather not marry yuu? Oh, forgive me !
1 can t marry you; indeed 1 can 1 1 '
Hour Mr. Hemphill's scarred face be

kneel down nnd take her hand,
"You do not love me, Gladys! Is that
the reason? 1 have fancied so when you
wero so harsh towards me. Hut I never
thought that yuu would have consented
to even n Miiihlance of engagement
unless '
"No," bhe interrupted; "I didn't know
all. Hut now I do. , I can not marry
you liecaiiao "
Sho blushed, hung her head, and he
illlished the sentence for her,
"Hecauso you love biiine one else, Is
that so, Gladys"
1886.
Sho merely liowed her head. Then he
rose, and continued in such n manly, yet
tender voice:
"Gladys, my dearest, my hotio In this
world has lieen to cull you. my wife.
You have flattered me with the Idea that
you would lw mine. But I have seen my
error, l'eihaps, had I rescued you, you
might have loved me." ,
"Oh, no, nol" cried Miss Anderson.
"Indeed, I always liked you. hut when I
consented tn try and love you my heart
had uheady gone, 1 told you that."
"Yes, you did; und this man Martyn
Henry is my rival still. Oh, my darling,
must I give you up? Give mo ono word
of 1ioh What, not n word? Not one?
Oh, Gladys, Gladys! I have worshled
you. My wholo heart is ours, nnd you
deny me even a crumb of comfort. All
is over, Is it really true? really true?"
The tears were running down her
.cheeks. His eyes wero dry, hut so mild
and sad, as ho tinned away.
"Good-bye, Gladys. Our llrst meeting
for three weeks, and our last for ever!
God bless you, and forgive you!"
He kissed her and went nut, leaving
her iu a torrent of tears. I believe she
cared more for him at that minute than
she ever had done licfore. I know she
declined even to m?o the captain when he
called with her fattier. I'oor Mr. Hemp-

He went away almost immediately.
Miss Anderson soon got alxiut and he
camo really engaged to Capt. Martyn
Henry again, and will marry hint iu the
nutuinn, as all hni lieen made up.

tlio king or tho army in the held. It was
of a pattern lieculiar to Persia, where it
lias lieen the custom for the court to
spend the summer in tents. Conse
quently, the making of tents has been
carried to great perfection in Persia and
lias given good scope to the decorative
talents of the native artists.
My tent was of the sort called kalem

done by hand, and the colors lieing also
applied or stamped by hand. Nothing
could exceed tho extraordinary beauty
of the intricate designs which completely
covered tho interior of this tent.
Eacli panel had iu the center an agree
able representation of the conventional
figure of a cypress or tree of life, which
we are in the habit of calling the palm
leaf pattern -when we see it on Cashmere

cypress that is intended in this design.
Around this Ilgure were wreaths of flow
ers, interwoven with birds of paradise,
and nt the base of the picture wero gro
tesque elephants pursued by hunters
brandishing cimeters.
Over tlio junction of the panels was a
pair of exquisitely comical lions of the
most Icroeioif. asiect, bearing naked
words in their light paws. This is but
a feeble description of the graceful and
fertile fancy displayed in tliis intricate

GROWTH OF BOYS AND GIRLS.
Mnrttlng Knrtft a lo llm J)f!,ftoiiipnt of
Hie noily During Childhood,
During tho international inedlcnl con
ference held in Copenhagen in the sum
merof 1HJM, apajierrcad bytlioltov. Mail
ing Hanson, principal of the Danish in
stitution for the deaf nnd dumb, was
listened to with marked attention and
interest. It gave the results of the dally
weighing and nicnstircincnts 'of height
which he had carried on for nearly three
years on the 1!10 pupils seventy-two
boys nnd fifty-eight girls of the institu
tion, and demonstrated facts as lo the de
velopment of the human body during
tliH'riod of childhood that perfectly
startled anil astonished the assem
bled medical authorities, opening an en
tirely new field for investigation nnd ro
llctloii. Since then Mr. Hanson has continued
his observations, and, though ho has yet
a tremendous amount of work liforc
him, ho believes himself ablo to state
now tho outlines of tho results helms ob
tained, The children are weighed four
times dally in batches of twenty in the
morning, before dinner, after dinner,
nnd nt bedtime and each child is meas
ured once a day. The common im
pression is, no doubt, that increase in
bulk and height of the human body dur
ing the years of growth progresses evenly
all through the year, This is not so.
Three distinct periods are marked out,
and within them some thirty lesser
waverings have lieen observed. As for
bulk, tho maximum period extends from
August until December; the iieriod nf
equipoise lasts from December until
about the middle of April, and then fol
lows the minimum period until August.
The lasting increase of bulk or wnlght is
all accumulated during tlio flrst singe;
tho period of equipoise adds to the bidy
about a fourth of that increase, but this
gain is almost entirely spent or lost again
in the last period.
The increase in height of the children
shows the siune division into periods,
only in n different order. The maximum
jwriod of growth in height corresponds
to the minimum period of increase in
bulk, nnd vice versa. In September and
Octolier a child grows only a iiftli of
what It did in June and July. In other
words, during u part of tlio year
autumn nnd beginning of winter the
child accumulates bulk, but the height is
stationary. In tho early summer the
bulk remains nearly unchanged, but tho
vital force and the nourishment are ex
pended to the benefit of height. While
the body works for bulk there is rest for
the growth, and, when the jieriod of
growth conies, the working for bulk is
susiK'iided. The human Ixidv has, conse
quently, the sumo distinctly marked
lieriods of development as plants.

To Make L'p for Infant Mortality.
The turliot lays 14,000,000 eggs, well
knowing that 13,il,0U'J will bo eaten up
iu the state of spawn or devoured by
enemies in helpless infancy, or drifted
out to sea and hoKdessly lost, or other
wise somehow unaccounted for. The
fewer the casualties to wliich a nice
is exposed the smaller the number
of eggs or young which it needs to pro
duce in order to cover the necessary
losses.
In fish generally it takes at least 100,
000 eggs each year to keep up the aver
age of the species. In frogs and other
amphibians, a few hundred are amply
siifticient. Heptiles often lay only a
much smaller number. In birds, wliich
hutch their own eggs nnd feed their
young, from ten to two eggs per annum
nre quite sufficient to replenish the earth.
Among mammals, threo or four at a
birth is a rare number, and many of the
larger sorts produce ono calf or foal at u
time only.
In tho human race at large, a total of
five or six children for each married
couple during a whole lifetime makes up
sufficiently for infant mortality and all
other sources of loss, though amonc
utter savages a far higher rate is usually
necessary. Lven making allowances for
nocessary deaths and celibacy, however,
I believe that as sanitation improves and
needless infant mortality is done away
witli, the human race will finally conio
to a state of equlilirium with an average
of three children to each household.

Washington's iioiiiixhis ways wero se
verely ciiticised at this time. His gor
geous, cream-colored coach with Its six
jiorses was talked of, and they said that
it wus ridiculous for one who posed
the great champion of American lllierty
to keep men in livery and to own 500
slaves. Thero was probably some truth
in this charge. Washington was a great
swell, and he liked to strut about and
have his fellow-men toadying him. He
believed In high honors being paid to the
president of the United Stutes, and his
receptions ns president were of the stitT
est kind. He dressed in the richest of
clothes, wore silk, satin and lots of gold
lace, aud I doubt not he was a little
proud of his figure, which was tall nnd
well formed, witli tho exception of the
chest, which was sunken.
Washington had probably ns fine an
establishment in America as any man in
the country at the time he lived. He
kept the ilnest of horses in his stables.
and had an army of liveried servants.
At .uount ernon no nan iuu cows, and
Tie entertained like an English lord. He
always had wine on his table, and he
drank several glasses nt every- dinner.
His wife was addressed as Lady Wash
ington in those days, and his friends g.ne
him the title in private life of "your ex
cellency." I lime seen manuscript pri
vate letters to idrs. Washington, and I
doubt not that during the first adminis
tration of our government she was toad
ied like a queen. She and the president
had their coat-of-nrms, and George
Washington had buttons made, at least
thero are such buttons in existence, with
his initials on them. Tho Washington
family had the finest of china. They
liked good furniture, and even now nt
