HOUSE TO LET.
'We have got to move I" sighed Se

ijorpn", the colored servant, went on
vpi-inkling tlio pillow cases on tlio pi.it
tallo in tlio corner.
"I've neon it coming tbii long tim-i,"
ai1 SuHna. "The landlord lias been as
goo.l and connidoiuto um possible "
"Do Inn'lord's au old liarpr 1" suid
Porcn. "Lun'lords allay is I"
No, lie is not," poi-Mistod Solina.
"We owe dim eight months' lent al

evor to got his money. I would offer
him tlio piano find tho carved rosownod
parlor pot, if I tho; ght tlioy would
possoss nny value in his oyes in part
payment, I mean."
Pnrnw rolled tip tho coffoo-colorod
whiles of her oyes.
'ut piano as was Mis Adulaido's
whou firs' hIio come from l!ultimo
boarding school 1" said sho. "Dut lubly
fnrncliuio as wn mndo to order in
Ainuip'Iis 1 No, Miss Lina not wiv dis
chile's consont 1"
And she rolled a thin old damask
t.iWcclolh very tightly and packed it
into the biiHlict with emphasis.
"Mamma must kuow nothing of this,
llorons," paid rioliua, sadly.
"Puiino how you'se gwino to keen it
from lier, Miss Lina."
"V'lt can bo done, Porcas. I'vo thought
it nil out," said tho girl. "Sho niUHt bo
made to pupposo that sho is going to
spend a few duys with my employers at
Newport "
'I Us di'y dono asked her, Miss Lina?"
No, you gooo 1 I don't supposo
that they even know that I'vo got a
mothor. 1 am only a typewriter and
stenographer iu their eyes, and rondur
my horviccs at so much a day. Mrs.
riinlimmou is known all through Now
York n a fcmnlo hilanthropist, but
while she's helping poor immigrants
out of tho slums and roctifyiug the
Blop hop riuostion, sho don't appreciate
thut a well drossud Southern lady may
be in sore straits. But she'll muko us
good a figurehead as any othor."
"Miss Lina," said Dorcas, after a
brief ttilcuce, during which sho rolled
nil sprinkled, patted and foldod with
nnceusing vigilance
"Well ?"
"I knows whar I conld git 81 a week
for lanndress, or 85 for cook. Tink o'
dut, Miss Linu."
"Do you want to leave us, Porcas ?"
The old woman littered a subdued
groan. "Lord knows it's honor enough
to work for do ole Hponoers 1 But it's
money we uns wants an' obery cento'
tie ole woman's wages, dey'll come
back to olo Missus and Miss Lina."
The loug lushes droppod over Solina
Spencer's lovely hazel eyes. "It's of
do nso, Porcas, ' said she. "We've got
to bend before the storm. Push 1 Po
you hear that tapping ? '
"Somebody knocking at de do' I"
cried Porcas. "Why on arf don' dey
ring do bell ?
"No," Solina, dotaining her as sho
was about to answer the supposed sum
xnons. "It's the agent putting up the
To Let' But, whatever happens, Por
cas, don't let mamma know I"
She roso, and getting up her hat and
gloves, went up the wide, gloomy old
staircase. Porcas looked aftor her and
shook her tnrbaned head.
"Meks b'lieve she's pow'ful brave 1"
muttered she. "Tinks old Dorcas
dunno she's crying dis berry minute I
Why didn't she marry Mars Ooorge
Berkoley when he axed her an' sabo
heree'f all this trouble ?"
Up in the dimly lighted sitting room
Mrs. Spencer sat, a fadod bollo of the
olden days. The piano was open, the
window was lull of curefully tended
plants ; a pink-shaded lamp burned on
the table, and Mrs. Spencer herself was
ngnged in crewel work, with slow, lan
guid fingers.
"You are later than usual to-night,
Belina," said she, fretfully. "Perhaps
your idea of a dutiful daughter is dif
ferent from mine, but I think any
amount of Shakespeare and Browning
classes oughtn't to take so muoh of
your time away from your mother."
"I stopped to give Porcas orders in
the kitchen, mamma," Selina cheerfully
answered. "But I'm all ready now.
What shall I read to yon until the tea
comes up ?"
"Well." said the poor lady, feebly,
"I'd like a few chapters of the 'Scottish
Chiefs.' It was the first novel my dear
papa ever allowed me to read and in
my opinion your Onidas and Braddons
don't come near it."
And, while Heliua read out the trials
of Uelen Mar and Bruce the brave, sho
wondered how on earth she should
manage about showing the house to
the euger sightseers who would be sure
to be attracted by tho legend "To Lot"
on the morrow.
"Cun't go in dat ar room 1" said Por
cas, interposing her stout figure be
tween the hard featured house-hunter
, and the door of Mrs. Spenoer's boudoir.
"Put's private, dat ar !" (
Anything wrong in the room ?'
ehurply questioned tho woman.
"No'm," stolidly responded Porcas.
"Ceilings cracked ? Wator - pipoa
burst ?"
' "No'm." .
"Then why can't 1 see it?" with a
suddou push in that direction.
She might as well have attempted to
charge a buttery of artillery. Old Por
cas stood immovable.
"Ludy ain't well, mum," said she.
"Cun't nobody go in dat room I Tola
you so afore I"
Anything contagious ?"
"No'm."
'Sure ?"
'Yes'ra, sartin shuah I"
"Very well, " suid the house-hunter,
with a forward jerk of her chin. "I
. shall tuke no house that I can't soo
every inoh of I" and she flounced out
All day long Porcas fought the army
of iuvestigators valiantly, und nt night
as sho herself observed, "she was jes
a tired as if she'd done a double day
w li." Stout ladies peered Into the
nli. cellar and denounced the drainage;
i"nti 1 klio-. pokml thoir parasols into tlio

i'S Jo the tnontlilv r -.ital ; fat old geri
tion.oi rthud qnt.iiiu iu husky no-

' Tho next morning, however, dove
winged I'eaco ouco morn settled on tho
l'eld of action. Tho agent eamo np and
removed tho bill.
"The honso is tnkon," said he.
"Who's took it ?" domandod Porcas,
who chanced juBt thon to bo scouring
tlio brasses, lint tho agont either did
liot know or would not toll. Porcas
heaved a dcop si;h. "Pou," soys she,
"we've got to cl'ar out"
Tho landlord sont Solina a polite
nolo in a day or two. Ho had con
cluded, ho wroto, to accept her offer
of tlio f limit nro and bolougings as an
equivalent for a certain portion of tho
unpaid rent
"Now," said Porcas, "what is wo to
do ?'
l'oor Mrs. Spencer was all in a flut
ter. The Newport scliemo delighted
her, und sho was very busy looking over
her wnrdrobu with reference to tho com
ing visit. Selina had written to tlio
nimt of an old schoolmato of hers, who
kept a boaiding-honso in tho fair sea
side city, asking hor lowest prieo for a
coinfortiiMo room. Porcas was to go
villi Mrs. Spo'ieer ns attendant and
maid, and Selina had rosolvod to hiro
a room in Now York anil board hor
self as well as slio could.
"But this has boon a dear old homo,"
the murmured. "I wonder who will
sleep in my room. I wonder whoso
bauds will stiiko tlio yollow keys of
mamma's old piauo, uud dust my llow
ing bluo china, nud arrange tho old
liildle-backcd chairs."
Tho p'urplo sunlight shono softly in
tlio scent of a stalk of hyacinths iu a
gla;s on tho mantel brought back rem
iiiiseencoi of the old Southern (lower
gardens, and all of a sudden a voice
which sho hud last heard iu those very
gardens struck on her eur,
"Selina have I startled you ?"
"Mr. Berkeloy I"
Ho extended u cordial hand.
"l'orhaps yon fancied I could not
fraco you out ?" said ho. "But I am
butter at hide and seek than you
thought."
She court osiod haughtily, nis hand
some counteuanco fell. Evidently ho
was deeply disappointed.
"Aro you not glad to see me, Selina ?"
he oxcluimed. "Ah, Selina! I hud
counted so much on this interview 1 I
had plannod to ronew my suit to ask
you onco mora to bo my wifo. "
She drew her slight figure up.'
"You aro presuming too much on ray
very evidont poverty, Mr. Borkeloy,"
said sho. "I refusod yon when I was
Miss Spencer, of Spencer Yale. What
sort of a woman should I be if I were
eow to accept you simply as a pro
tection against adversity ?"
But, Selina "
"Pray, excuse me from any further
discussion of tho question," suid Selina.
"May 1 not hope to see your mother ?"'
ho persisted.
"I should prefer not"
"Po you know, Solina," he said,
after a brief silence, "that this is a
very bitter mortification to me ?"
"Is it ? Thou what must it be to me?"
she retorted, almost fiercely, lookiug
up at him.
. Ho stood a second or two gazing
sadly at her. btaug by the scrutiny,
she swopt from the room like an an
gered princess.
Hulf a minute later she oame hurry
ing buok, full of sweet, strange mis
giviugs. But he was gone.
"I have lot unother opportunity slip
by 1" she murmurod. "Oh, heavens 1
whore is my life drifting to ?"
At that moment Aunt Porcas ushered
in the landlord, a fussy, bald headed
old gentleman, with a fur collar to his
ooat
"Good evening, Miss Spencer," said
ho. "I expected to meet the new party
here.
The I beg yonr pardon," said
Selina.
"The gentleman who has purchased
this house and furniture," explained
Mr. Beasley, "and settled it on your
self and your mother. A friend of
yours, I suppose Mr. Borkeley."
Standing sadly in the shadow of the
rustling poplar boughs outside, George
Berkeley folt the magnetic influence of
another presence. A soft voice stirred
tho twilight air, like the far-off rausio
of forgotten days.
"Mr. Berkeley," it said "George !
please will you forgive mo ?"
A dead silence ensued.
"Won't you, George?" with a little
sob in the voice. "I I don't mean to
peak so hurshly to you. I didu't
know thon what I know now of your
noblu genorosity."
Silence onlf silence still.
"If I accept it for doar mamma's
sake, you surely will net misinterpret
me. Oh, (ieorgo I bow can you be so
cruol?. Why don't you answer me?
What'are you waiting for me to say?''
And still no word broke that haunt
ing si 1 en co I
"George," in a low voice, "I've
changed my mind. I will bo your
wifo ! '
He took her in his arms.
"Pear swoothoartl" he murmured.
Pear little molting snow wreath, I
knew that lovo would oonquor you at
lust I"
When Mrs. Spencer heard of tho en
gagement she said quietly :
"I always thought they cared for
each other, but since your master died,
Porous, my poor head has scuroely
been itself ; but make haste and finish
the packing. Wo are going to Newport,
are we not ?"
And so tho wedding trip was to Now
port Toronto Mail.

Tho Case Of The Ohin&M.
The Geary law, so called from Con
gressman Gf.akv, of Cali'orivia. a
Democrat, wlm championed it,w, on
acted obt.-nsiH,' to r.rcvci.' fur her
importation of chiin.-s; cuni;u :t labor
ers. As a means to this end, and in view
of the ease with which Chinamen are
smuggled into the country, the law
provided that all who were in the coun
try befote the law was enacted mu:-t
become registered before the 5th of
May, 1893. Kach Chiranian who regis
tered was required ta have his own
declaration supported by that of a
Caucasian witness to the effect that he
knew the Chinamin to have I cen in
the country before the passage ol the
law. It was also required that each
Chinaman registered should be photo
graphed as a means of identification.
Any Chinaman not so registered is to
be assumed to be a contract labrorer
brought into the country since the en
actment of the law and mi.st be sent
back to China, but'may be inprisoned
at hard labor foi one year previous to
deportation.
It was contended that these hard and
peculiar conditions, which are applied
to 110 other class of aliens, were uncon
stitutional, and further that they were
in violation of treaty stipulations with
China by which titi.ens of that coun
try were to have in this country the
same rights as other foreigners, and,
reciprocally, American citizens in
China were not to be subjected to a
hostil discrimination not applied to
other foreigners.
The Supreme Court has decided
that the Geary law does not transcend
the constitutional power of Congress
in the premises. The Justices who join
in this decision say nothing of the
merits of the law. Probably on this
point they do not disagree with the
dissenting Justices. The constitutional
point is settled, but that the act is
nevertheless an infraction of the treaty
between the two nations is clear. It
was meant to be this by its advocates.
The privileges existing under the
treaty were the very things the law was
intended to nullify.
The practical questions now relate to
what will happen. First, as regards the
Chinese in this country, less than 5.000
of the more than 100,000 have com
plied with the law. Manifestly the law
cannot be enforced immediately upon
all the delinquents. To attempt to do
it would monopolize the time of the
courts and of the Treasury Depart
ment for an indefinite period. Convic
tions would fill the prisons of many
States and it would be a long time be
fore all could be returned to China.
The expense of thse proceedings would
be enormous, while the amount in the
Treasury available for the purpose is
only about $50,000. The danger is
that the hoodlums in some States will
take privilege of the virtually outlawed
status of this people to wreak upon
them a terrible persecution degrading
the good name of the nation and
scandalous to humanity.
In the next place, the abrogation of
the treaty with China thus summarily
and offensively effected releases China
froniany obligations established by it
in respect to Americans resident there,
what ever their business or their con
dition. The Government of China has
been scrupulously careful heretofore to
abide by the treaty, and more ef
fectually than our Government has re
strained and repressed popular preju
dices against foreigners as violent as
any existing here. The forbearance of
Chinese Government in the face of
provocation has exemplary. But we
have been fully warned that it could
not be expected to survive the enforce
ment of the Geary law. Those who are
best informed, whether living here or
there, expect no further favor to
wards Americans. Our missionary stat
ions will be broken up and abandoned
and our business enterprises driven
out
We shall have no right to complain
if these things happened. It will be
simply an application to us of our own
rule of conduct World.

Deafness Cannot bo (hired
by 'ocal applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased poilion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure Deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional re
medies. Deafness is caused by an in
flamed condition of the mucous lining
of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube gets inflamed you have a rumb
ling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed Deafness is
the result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out ami this tube re
stored to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever ; nine cases
out of ten are caused by catarrh, which
in nothing but an inflamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused oy
catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's

Swallowed a LomouSeed.
THE GERM SPROUTS IN A MAN'S STOM
ACH AND CAUSES HIS DEATH.
A strange case is puzzling medical
practitioners of Trimble, Tenn., and
the most prominent of the fraternity
from Memphis and Nashville. John
Henry Leake, a stalwart negro living
on the plantation of R L Strong, a
week or two since ate a lemon and
swallowed one of the seeds, which, it
seems, lodged in his stomach, and, at
tracting to it a certain proportion of
the food subsequently eaten by the
negro, was soon surrounded by a clot
or mass of matter which gradually
grew larger. After a short time Leake
began to suffer with acute pains in the
region of the stomach and applied to
a physician, who diagnosed his trouble
as indigestion and proceeded to treat
him for it.
But the pains increased and it soon
became'a matter of impossibility for
the sufferer to retain any food except
such as was administered in a liquid
form, and the doctor began to suspect
that the cause of the trouble lay be
yond the ordinary phases of indiges
tion, and declared an operation
necessary. It was with a great deal
of difficulty that Leake was prevailed
on to submit to this, but he finally
consented.
The surgeons thoroughly explored
the abdomen and intestines, but with
out fimling any disturbing object,
though it was observed that the stom
ach was distended to nearly twice its
normal size. ' Leake finally died in
great agony, with repeated efforts to
vomit, which continued until death
ensued. A post mortem examination
revealed the fact that the seed had
sprouted from the mass surrounding
it, and, putting out shoots, had actually
attacked the walls of the stomach as a
creeping plant does a wall.
