LOVE IN A MINOR KEY The Inhabitants of Harplcstowe lind Ceased to discuss- Hannah Klotclit-r'f questionable position townrd bet ludijnr, and any interest attached to her unconventional attitude bad qui etly OzzUhI out along with her uionja-t claims to beauty. When the world bad gone well wttta Hannah, and xlit had possessed the irritable devotion ol an invalid inottoer and the undivided love of a eltinli father, she bad worn modestly the good looks which belong to a middle cUi8 young woman who enjoys excellent health and a whole some temperament. Now the light in tier abundant hair and her bright color had died for want of vital sustenance, and her rather prominent features had Weakened With the unresting struggle for existence. A atranger would not trouble to (jueutioG if her unsympa thetic manner was the result or the cause of an unsatiMfied existence. Hannah Fletcher had spent the best years of her youth sulxlulug the pas sions and emotions' which make a beautiful woman IrrcMlstlble, but she bad not studied her own ugliness and mastered It, ns some women do. A Dlaln woman's battle in life Is defy ing her own ugliness. Hannah's lodger was, it Is true, au "elderly party." so the mald-of -all-work described him, "nlways mesNlng about with them 'chemistry Uzzieks; Vs wonderful clever, but It don't bring in no money, and if It wasn't thet Miss Hannah. was a bit sweet ou htm shi 'are cleared Mm out -alou3 wtii his rubbishing smell long ago." Hannah was a "bit sweet" on the "el derly party." When her mother and father had died, her lodger had 1 not given a thought to the fact that, for the glrl'B reputation in the village, it sjrpuld bo advisable for him to leave fie comfortable i quarters. Hannah had grown necessary to him In his work, and he bad learned to depend, on her as a man of powerful Intellect grows to depend on a practical wo man with an Intelligent brain, who la Bis dally and hourly comimuion. Habit Is stronger In men than in women. Ttoe or six years hod passed since her Barents' death, bringing little or no change into Hannah's life. She Javed and toiled and pinched for the 'flderly party," who was too self-centred to guess at the true extent of her poverty. He was casual about ills payments, and she would never remind him. To brighten up her room and bring a little pleasure into her day, he would now and then go out and bring taw home an extravagantly beautiful bunch of flowers, or a pair of palms, and present them to her with a touch ing enthusiasm for his own generosity and thoughtfulness. Her practical mind would fly with a woman's quick ness of thought to the four months' rent which was still unpaid; but only a feeling of tenderness for his eccen tricities would come over her, and she hugged to her heart the thought that she could help him In his work by waiting for the over-due rent. He was poor, and his income would have barely covered the modest ne cessities of his simple life If he had roted it to t'h'jm, but "he spends all his money ou them messes and Invent ing things as aren't no use to no one," as Arabella remarked when he over looked her tip one Christmas day; "I ain't got no use for the like of his sort" Clothes he never bought, and Hannah, with a beautiful regard for the feeling of the man she loved, stitched and mended and patched, and bit by bit replaced bis worn and shab by wardro4e. She was careful never to put Into his room any new garment she had made until the ruthless laun dress had robbod It of its newness. Then she would substitute It for one which was beyond even her clever needlucraft to mend, and the "elderly party" would put on a new shirt or wear the uew nocks without the slight est suspicion that the familiar patches and darns were missing. He acted as intellectual food and nourishment to her starved brain, and she became the practical part of his unevenly balanced character, which nature had left want ing. One day the peace of Hannah's life was broken by the coming of a cousin, an orphan like herself, who had writ ten and asked Hanuah to give her a home while she looked for work. Han nah wrote and welcomed her with bit tor misgivings at heart. She had to toll night and day to make money to pay for food enough for herself and her lodger. Madeline came, and like a hot wind passing over a sensitive plant she with ered up Hannah's courage. She wus young, and the beauty of her animal health was btartllug. Sue stood lu Hannah's bumble purler In the noon day sunlight, straight ns a young palm tree, and beautiful in symmetry, a puurtng, tingling piece of flesh and blood, colored like a pale pink peony. Week pastiod Into months, and Mad eline bod planted herself firmly lu the house. Hannah uld not turn hr-i out, and she never suggested going and never made any serious attempt to get work. Her orphan and pennl less condition served her as a uxefu means of appealing to the synypathj of the "elderly party." As time went on, Hannah saw less and loss of hot lodger, her cousin appropriated as hoi charge his study and laboratory, and It was bitterness and gall to Hannah to see her administer to him all the little attentions which she had been wont to perform. Hanuah, with her heart smarting at the bitter Injustice of things, could not tell Iter tlwit site was day by day rob blng her of all that made life bearable, And as, when a woman is particular ly busy, a man generally thinks she is "fussing," and choosing to do some thing totally unnecessary, the "elderly party" came to look upon It as quite natural that Madallne should be his hourly compaulon, and that she should sit In an easy chair while Hauunli, hot and weary in mind and body, should toll ami strive for them both. After Madallne had been with them three months Hannah's lodger came Into a fortune. It was not a large one, but It would enable him to live In ease and comfort for the rest of his life. When Hannah heard the good news, what she dreaded most did not happen. He did not suggest moving Into more luxurious lodgings; he seemed to con sider himself a fixture in the wains coted room with Its cottage window and old onk floor; but he bought more pretty plants and fresh hothouse flow ers, which Madallne now accepted with a blush and prettlness that sunt bis blood coursing through his veins. une morning, when Uanttnh was ironing, with the table piled high in well bleached linen, the "elderly party" came Into the kitchen with Madallne, He walked straight up to where Han nah stood, with her hot face bent over the steaming shirt, and drew Madallne forward. "Hannah, your cousin has promised to marry me. She is young and beau tiful, and I am only a plain scholar, but I will do my best to make her a good husband." As If It had been thrust through her body with the point of a bayonet, each j ,vord went to Hannah's heart. It censed Inviting. Madallne, of course, knew why her cousin had so suddenly 1 fainted, ami the poor little bit of tri I titnplt made her heart beat quicker, ' but when she looked up at Iter lover t his face was pale with fear. She saw ; a look of ngony in his eyes as he turned them to her for help, which told her that she did not possess the heart 1 of the scholar so completely as she I thought, and the devil In her was roused. "Oh, you need not be so alarmed; nhe has fainted through sheer Jeal ousy." For one moment he stood transfixed; nil that he had been blind to for years was made nnln to him now, and in tli at moment he recognized the heart lessuess of the woman he bad proposed to only ten minutes ago. "Are you a woman to tell a woman's secret and make light of It?" Madallne wns frightened at the look of scorn and contempt In bis eyes, which had always looked at her so gently. She stofnd at bay, and watched his trembling hands sprinkling Han nah's face with the cold water she had used for sprinkling the linen. It was kept In a small white bowl on the ironing tnble. "I've not said anything that the whole vliage does not know, Arabella Included, that Hanuah Fletcher has been waiting to marry her lodger for the last ten years." "Then, by God, I'll marry her now. I love her, I tell you." He chafed the pale cheeks, and rubbed the thin hands. "I've always loved her. Oh, my Ood, Oh, my God, what a selfish fool I have been!" "You loved me but ten minutes ago. For a simple scholar you are wonder fully quick in love." "Ten minutes ago I did not know that it was Hannah I loved as a man ought to love the woman he marries. Vour beauty deceived me Into believ ing that I loved you. I had not' given thought to love until you came. I ask your forgiveness." Tears, which were always ready, came into her blue eyes at the harsh words he had spoken, but she knew that they were true. She had no love for the grave and elderly scholar; ho was to be her refuge from work, and she loved ease. She stood for n mo ment or two and watched returning consciousness quiver over Hannah's pale face, and then she turned to go. "After all, Hannah Is growing old, and she has been good to me. I will not rob her of her elderly lover." A lover wns waiting for Madallne half a mile out of the village. He was a provision dealer, and Madallne would have preferred being the wlfo of a scholar.

Of Dr. Nausen's wife not much In formation has found Us way Into print. She seems to have a very Itn perfectly developed taste for publicity, but what is known of her Is Interesting and Indicates that she Is an unconi mon woman, both In talent and char acter. It Is recorded by Ir. Nansen's biographers, Broegger and Rolfsen, that his first meeting with his future wife was In the woods about Frogner Seator, where, one day, observing the soles of two feet sticking up out of the snow, be approached them, with natu rat curiosity. In time to see the bend of Kva Bars einergo from a snowbank, Dr. Hansen was married In 1889, after his return from Ms successful expedi tion across Greenland. When he start ed In the Fram In 1893. his wife, left at home at Lysaker, near ChriBtlann, with one child, turned for occupation to the development and use of her gifts as a singer, ami with notable sue cess. Klug Oscar of Sweden is one of her admirers, and especially likes her singing, which he has often henrd; and since she has been in England the coin plimeut bos been paid her of asking her to sing lefore the Queen. She is a staunch backer of her adventurous husband, whose departure on his peril ous errand cost her anxieties and mis givings as to which she said little at the time. Since her husband's return she has sometimes spoken in conver sation of her fears, and has said that careful comparison of Dr. Nansen's diary with her record or remembrnnce of her own sensations benrs her out in the belief that the times when she was the most concerned about him were the seasons of his greatest peril. That implies a telepathic communication born of Intense sympathy and solici tude, the possibility of which science seems no longer disposed to deny. Mrs. Nansen's father was Professor Sars, a well-known zoologist. Zoology, it will be remembered, is a branch of science of which Dr. Nansen has mndo a speelal study. Harper's Weekly.

De Schweinitz, in his lecture on "The War With the Mic robes," says : "When milk and cream are first collected, they are almost tree from germs, but exposed to the air they soon become filled with those forms of life, which are perfectly harmless. If placed under suitable conditions with regard to temperature, they will multiply very readily and the milk becomes sour, due to the formation of lactic acid produced from the sugar in the milk by one or more of these germs. If the germs present happen to be those giving an ether and ester which have a pleasant flavor and aroma, good butter results. But if they give rise to the formation of dis agreeable thio ethers and esters or some amines the butter is poor and bad. "Now, by isolating different germs found in the milk, and cultivating them separately so as to discover their own peculiar product, it is possible to always make butter of the same sort and flavor by first destroying the other germs present by pasteurization and then ' inoculating the cream with the particular germ desired. A number of germs have been isolated from milk which will produce good butter, and any one of them is perhaps as good as the other, the ethereal product being slightly different and more pala table to different individuals. Of course a great many germs have been found which produce disagreeable compounds, and it is not possible to tell from their appearance simply which is a desirable plant.
