4,Of vchat is my little sister lliinkinfft
"Methinks it ia of sonietliinp pleasant,
ju Ip-inp liy the smiles that have been
aoming and goin"; over her tell-tale face
Tor the last few minutes."
Madpe lixiked np with an expression of
surprise in her soft brown eye. "Why,
Claire, how lonf- hare yon been here! I
thonpht you were still in ftoe parlor en
tertaining Mr. Anstruther. Hasn't some
one else lieen hearing something nice in-F-teail
of thinking it?" with a mischievous
einile at Claire.
With a slight flush Claire answered:
"It is always sweet to bpar the praises of
one you love; and Ralph Anstrutiier
would fain win tor bin own a certain
rtirdden I know of. Can you guess who?"
and the elder siMer lient and kissed the
fair young eliek whose wild-rose pink
had deejened into a i-Veber lint as Claire
spoke.
I thought it was yon be came to see,
Claire; and I'm sorry if it is anyone else
really and truly sorry for I don't care
for him at all, excepting as a friend.
Claire." with a sudden wonder in her
tones, "tell me why it is that some girls
have to hurt jieophi's feelings by saying
'No,' when some other real nice girl would
be awful glad to say 'Year-"
Then as Claire looked puzzled at her
somewhat involved jvntence, she said,
with a laugh that 6undod like & chime
of sweet bells in her sister's ear: "I mean
Claire, that it isn't fair that I should have
had three ofl 'rs, and and
A thought that jerhaps if she said any
more she might wound Claire, stopped
her. and she blushed and remained silent.
For grxxl and even pretty as was the
elder Fister, it was Madge alone who had
proved the attractive one since she had
grown to woman's estate, and as Claire's
pa?.t was a closed leaf to her she had
wondered at it.
Tell me, dear, why are you 60 difficult
to suit f Faid Claire. "Ig there tome one
els" whom you liket"
Mailcre"s head drooped, and her cheeks
rivalled the red carnation ehe held in her
hand. She hesitated; then with a sud
den impulse she went to her sister and
hid her face upon her shoulder, as the
murmured :
'Oh, Ciuire, I do love some one else.
and he does not even think of me. He ia
too noble nnd grand to t-t.x.p to such a j
eilly HMle. thing, lint I would willingly j
die for him." j
Who is it. little sister? IV. n't be afraid j
to tell rne. Your secret will !e safe."
I'.nt the calm face grew troubled as
Madge whisjvered a name in her ear. It
wa.s one which had once pounded like
6weetest music to her. But a cloud bail
come lietween her and her handsome
yoting lover for Rotert Fane was the
one whom MadgtS had confessed to loving,
and his had len the only voice which
had ever whispered to Claire of love.
And. ah. w hat a Jang it gave her now to
think that Madge had taken a fancy to
the same one. whose faithlessness had
nearly broken her own heart. She
schooled herself to answer calmly, but
with an intense earnestness that startled
Madge:
Do not think of that man. little sister!
He is not one who would mako you happy.
Ho is false and fickle."
Prove it," said Madge imjsulsi vely.
"If you cannot. I will not liclieve it."
Claire grew very pale, fihe hesitated.
Then, with a determination to uproot all
fancy for Robert Fane from her sister's
heart, she commenced the story of her
mvn past :
'Ten years ago I was just the age that
you are now. Madge. I was as light
hearted and as merry a girl as ever pang
about the house while performing her
diily duties. The world was all sunshine
to me. and it did not Feem aa though a
shallow could come across my path. But
one did come in the guise or what seemed
at first a great happiness, almost too
gTcat frr a mortal to experience and ever
lie willing to exchange earth for heaven.
You think, little sister, I have lieen al
ways the quiet, staid creature I am now.
But I am as changed since the time of
which I am al-out to speak as jon sky is
from the glowing tints which colored it at
sunset. Roliert and I were engaged to
be married, when one day I rec-ived a
short cold note fi-otn him saying that all
was at an end between tis. The next day
I heard that he had Failed for Europe.
Do yon wonder that the light went out
from my life, and that all seemed like &
blank for a timet Then our mother died.
anl in my grief at her loss, and in my
endeavor to make up her p lace to you, I
gradually found forge fulness of my pain."
"Dil he give no reason for acting sot"
asked Madge, with a ring of indignation
in her clear young voice.
"Nothing definite. He hinted at some
discovery he had made; but as I had not
the slightest clue aa to what he meant, I
was none the wiser."
"There must have lieen some treachery
at work, or he would never have done
such a thing. I am sure of it," exclaimed
Madge, "and I am surprised at your re
maining so quiescent aliout it. If I had
lieen vnu I would have demanded an ex
planation." "With the ocean rolling ltwern usf"
asked Claire. "That would not have been
... - i I t v,.,, t,

"Where there' a will there's a way,"
wai the decided answer. "But you were
too pro'ld to do such a thing. I know
you, sister mine j and one would little
think how much pride ia hidden beneath
that quiet exterior of yours."
Claire smiled faintly, but sbe made no
de-nia,l. She knew well that ehe would
have died rather than show her suffering.
But," and Madge looked puzzled, as a
thought struck her. "Mr. Fane must have
been very young when this occurred.
Oh, Claire, I see it all! Yoa think I mean
that qniet, dark, elderly man Robert's
ancle. Why, sister, can it be that he ever
had a romance connected with himf"
To Claire, the elder Robert Fane was
etill the one of all others in the whole
world most fitted to win a maiden's heart,
and as his young nephew had hardly at
tracted a passing thought from her, it
was not to be wondered at that she had
made the mistake. But, to one of her
reticent nature, it was a sore trial to
think that she had revealed her heart a
bitter secret needlessly. To save Madge
one pang she would have made any sac
rifice; but here her meditations were
put to flight by the clasp of clinging arms
and the pressure of tender kisses.
"Claire, darling-, I know what you aae
thinking of, but don't mind having told
me. I'll love yon. all the more dearly
for it, and I'll never, never tell."
And Claire, after a time, felt happier for
knowing that she had a confidante and
sympathizer in her young sister.
Madge kept htr word. Neither by
word nor look did she ever refer to what
bad passed between them until but we
must not anticipate.
One dark, stormy, night, when the ele
ments seemed warring with one another
as to whether wind or water should do
the most damage to the earth, a ring came
at the doiM of the Cedars at an hour well
on to midnight.
Claire had been trying to finish a deli
cate piece of embroidery as a present for
Madge on the anniversary of her birth,
which came on the following day; so she
was still in the sitting-room. The ser
vants were prolmbly fast asleep, and for
an instant Claire hesitated as to whether
to call one of them, or to answer the ring
herself at such an unusual hour.
But she conquered the momentary
timidity and lifted the heavy bolts from
their place in the massive doorway, and
in another instant stood framed in like a
picture with a liackground of light which
left her face in comparative shadow,
which was well for her presence of mind,
for she stood face to face with Robert
Fane!
A cold hand seemed grasping her heart
with its icy fingers, ami she felt herself
grow faint, but with a superhuman effort
she regained command of her senses, and
said, putting out her hand:
"How do vou do. Robert t Is anvthintr
wrong at the Hall!"
romeining mat nas oeen wrong is 10
be righted," he said. There was a trem
ble in his deep voics aa he spoke.
"A woman is dying," he said, "and she
calls for you in such piteous tones that I
eould not refuse to come for you. It is
Millicent Waters or rather the wreck of
that once lieautiful creature. She came
to my door in this dreadful storm, and in
sisted on seeing me, saying she had im
portant news to communicate ; and, Claire,
it concerned you. There is much to for
give. Will you come with met My car
riage is waiting at the gate."
Millicent Waters had lieen a schoolmate
of Claire's. A wild, headstrong, but very
lieautiful girl, she had disappeared sud
denly from Woodville a short time after
Claire's great trouble had come into her
life, and since then nothing had lieen
known of her whereabouts.
Claire's heart was ever responsive to a
call from any one in trouble; and in a
brief space of time Fhe hail made her
preparations to accompany Mr. Fane.
She had not the slightest idea of what
Millicent had to say to her, as in a kind
of dream she seated herself beside her
former lover.
There was utter silence between them
during the ride. Too great a gulf lay be
tween their past and their present to be
bridged over by the commonplace noth
ings of society conversation.
The housekeeer met them at the door
with a white, shocked face, saying that
shortly after Mr. Fane's departure the
poor woman he had left in her care to be
refreshed by rest and nourishment, had
fallen into a swoon which seemed so like
death that she thought it would surely
end that way.
"Tell Joseph to go for Dr. Gaston," was
Mr. Fane's brief answer. Then he led
Claire into the library where he had left
Millicent.
She was lying upon a sofa, upon which
a pillow had been placed to supjioi tt her
bead. In the wasted, sharply-outlined
features little remained of he beauty
which hud made her remarkable.
Whatever harm had been done to her
by this jioor, dying tsreature, she forgave
her fully. Her only feeling was one of
intense pity. As though her touch had
aroused the waning einliers of life within
the wasted frame, Millicent opened her
eyes, and fixed them upon the tender,
pj-inpnthetio face liendhig over her.
(So yon have pome," she said faintly.
"It is good, for now I can die in peace."
Then she tinned her eyes upon Robert.
"Tt was I who wrote that letter, and it
was I who met James Oi-ant. He was my
lover, and he hated you and wished to
wreck your happiness. I borrowed some
of Claire's clothes under a pretence of
taking a pattern of them, and in the
moonlight you could not tell the differ
ence, as I was of an equal height with
her. I do not expect to lie forgiven, but
I must do even this tanly justice before I
go to meet my offended Maker."
Her words were a complete enigma to
Claire, as Robert had made no explana
tion of his conduct, thinking, in his hut
anger, that Claire had la-en making a fool
of him. and. of course. K ing guilty, would
know that he had discovered the truth.
"What does, she mean!" she asked
wonderingly, turning to Roliert, who
stood pale anil stern U-side her. "What
letter does she speak of, nnd what lias
James firant to do with my life? I do
not understand."
"It means that yon and I have leen
the victims of a designing villain, and
that yonder poor creatai-e was mule the
instrument of carrying out his plans and
of wrecking our happiness. I lielieved
the letter she wrote me saying that you
cared only for my money, and that, your
love was given to another, and went to
the spot designated by the writer, where
she said you were to meet the one whom
you really loved. Blind fool that I proved
myself, to fall into a trap like that!"
Claire's lips quivered, and her eyes
filled with tears. She said gently:
"I should have thought you would have
uii'ler.-tiHxl my ':haracter better than to
have thought th-it of me."
When j.a!ou- has taken possession
of man. reason vacates her throne. I was
mad with anger and disappointment.
For, Claire. I loved you with a consuming
passion, and though I am hopeless of
winning even a kind thought from you
I love you stilL and have worshipped you
all these long years, notwithstanding that
I Itad a I thought) ocular proof -that
you had been false to me." i i
MillicenCs large black eyes, brilliant
with feverish excitement, had wandered
alternately from once face to the other,
and with a woman's uneri'injf intuftion,
she saw that Claire still ;Toved Robert
Fane. With a con vnlsive effort she rose
and went to the side of the. woman she
hail wronged.
"Love forgets all forgives all," he
ud. "Is it not so?" '
Claire's fewoet face was crimson with
blushe.s but her grqat eyes were lumi.
nous with happy light. . " ,
She turned to Robert, who was watch
ing her -with an eager, hopeful expression
which bad long been absent from his face.
She put out her hands with a timid ges
ture. The next instant she was gathered
to her lover's heart.
"Nothing but death can oom between
us now," he murmured.
Again the ghastly pallor crept over
Miliicent's face. She sank down again
um the sofa.
Claire disengaged herself from her lov
er's embrace and went to her.
"May od forgive you as freely as I
do!" she whispered. And in pioxjf of her
forgiveness, she touched her lijvs to the

Artificial Teeth st Prchlwtnrlc rrodnct
Dr. Van Mnrter, of Rome, has pub
lished nn interesting account of the evi
dences discovered by him of prehistoric
dentistry lu Italy. In the museum of
Comelo Tarquinius, a city on the Mediter
ranean coast, he found two specimens of
ancient dentistry, which the Mayor of that
city certifies were found upon the first
Opening of the burled Etruscan tombs, and
Professor Heilbig gives assurance that
these were virgin tombs, dating back four
or five centuries before the Christian era.
In one of the specimens the two superior
central incisors are bound by a band of
very soft gold to teeth on either side ; the
artificial teeth are well carved, evidently
from the tooth of some large animal. One
ther artificial tooth was held by the same
bancl, but it Is lost. Dr. Van Matter has
in his own possession a skull In which the
first upper molar on the right side is miss
ing, and which shows plain marks of An
alveolar absoesa, proving conclusively
toothache among the Etruscans.

The manufacture of base balls In this
country has become an important Indus
try, and an Ingenious one, too, according
to the description given of the process:
First, there Is a little hard rubber hall,
around which there is wound a strong blue
coarse yarn, and, when this reaches a pre
scribed slze.it Is firmly wrapped with white
Venetian yarn. The balls are now placed
In an oven and baked until the moisture Is
taken out of them and reduced in size, this
making them solid. They are thou coated
with cement, which causes the balls to re
tain their shape, and they cannot be
knocked crooked. After this comes some
blue yarn, aud around the whole is placed
fine white gilling twine. The balls are
weighed, each to have a certain weight,
and the covers are put on, these teing
made out of the beat horse hide. It con

Remedial O filer of Laughter.
The interaction of mind nnd body, In
disease, is well set forth by Dr. Haecker,
of I.eipstc, who states that tickling, which
he styles a variable, intermitten excite
ment of the nerves of the skin, produces
irritation of the sympathetic nerves with
the result of an expansion of the pnlpil
and a contract ion of the blood vessels and
that the consequent diminution of pressure
on the brain, permeated with Hotid tessels
is so considerable as not to be without
flanger; that powerful expiration operates
against such a diminution of pressure, and
therefore laughter, which Is simply inter
mittent forced movements of expiration,
Is a decided remedy for the effects of tick
ling. Aniline Color Pnlsotilnz.
A writer in a Bessie journal considers
the aniline colors as a rule poisonous in
their action upon the skin, as has been
established in regard to coral ine. in spite
of all denials. He indorses the recom
mendation I hat woo:en garments colored
with aniline dies should not tie worn next
to the skin, and .approves, as a test for
these colors the plan of heating a portion
of the wool to boiling, In a test lulie,
with ninety percent of alcohol, and, if the
latter acquires a red, violet, or vlolet-blue
tint, the coloring matter is suspicious.

NATURAL OAS.
A Qowslpy
Letter from
Allegheny
City,
Of course everyTxwly knows that West
ern. Pennsyb ania 1s overflowing with
natural gas, and that it is being utilized
lor fuel ns well ns for light, which later
Is not yet a success, but the wildest im
agination could not conceive the state of
disorder and untidiness into which the
city is thrown. Our streets are all torn
VP from one end to the other with pipe
laying by the nav-vics and our houses re
turned topsy-turvy from attic to cellar, by
the plumbers putting fn pipes and adjust
ing grates and stoves for natural gns.
The trouble Is they stay so long with ns;
it takes them from two to four weeks
according to the elze of the house and
lrumrier of Cres us-.d. Now with about
twenty navvies nt one's door and half as
many plumbers in one's house imagine
the scene if you can. But wait they are
through at last. Now comes the Gns In
rpector, then the Fire Marshal, and after
examining things pronounce them all
safe. Then all hands fall to work nailing
down the boards on the floors and tacking
dowTi the carpets and trying to bring order
out of chaos as speedily as possible. When
all that Is through with we sweep down
the soot from the back walls of the grate
and whitewash them, then pnt a lighted,
taper Into the grate, that has been filled
with crucibles such as are used for smelt
ing purposes, and with a little braes key
turn on the gas. In Just about five
minutes the stones are red hot, with Gny
tongues of blue flames leaping up through,
and it Is one of the prettiest fires that you
could wish to sec, givunf out a more
Intense hent than a coal fire, and it can be
regulated Just as it is desired. In the
range or stove for cooking it is invaluable.
One can moderate it to exactly the riht
heat ; then we do not have to rake down
Ashes to make dnst all over our dishes on
the stove hearth, or shovel In coal just at
the wrong time. And In our grates we have
no ashes to takeout and need wash up the
he'arths but once a week, instead of once a
flay. All these benefits we have, asld
from the labor of carrying coal from the
cellar or coal house. All that slavish
work Is a thing of the past ; and I really
think housekeepers in Pittsburgh and
Allegheny City appreciate it more than
anywhere else. Housekeepers living in
clean cities or, better still, in the country
and villages have not the remotest idea
what it is like to le burled alive in dirt,
with no way out but to dlfl out with
scrubbing brush and broom, for the soot
and smoke of this place is of a gassy,
greasy nature, that will not wash off very
teadily, but Iihs to be scrubted with hot
water, soap and brush. With natural gas
that hard labor will be done away with.
The gas ia said to cost the consumer less
than coal, but, ns we are new In the busi
ness yet, that remains to be seen.
While possessing all the virtues and
good qualities that we have tried to show,
Latural gat has alno, its littln vices, as
hero Is no rose without a thorn. Some
times on a cold morning we cannot get
enough force to get the breakfast. Then
we have to skirmish around and hunt up
au oil stove or something of that sort to
make our morning cotlee on. Then again.
If we do not go about the lighting of It
very carefullv, it will flash out into onr
faces. It will be no umigual thing to see,
the wife going abont one week w ith one
side burned oil of her frazes and the
Dusband the next with whiskers or
mustache singed off. Then another draw
back, which is literally a drawback. It
warps and draws our furniture nnd cracks
picture frames until they fall apart and
Are useless. We are obliged to keep
vessels filled with water in every room, to
absorb in a measure the dry, hot air. Ol
course we can have the vessels as
ornamental as we desire. And last bnt
least, it is explosive and not always in the
house of t hose who are using it, for if it
runs pnst your house and tlie pipes leak
yon are just ns liable to tret It into your
cellar as not, and it being odorless cannot
be detected until going into the cellar with
a litjht. The moment it comes 1n contact
with a flame It explodes sometimes kill
ing the person carrying the licbt, shatter
ing the building and tearing things
np at a terxiblj rate. We are fort
ifying orii-seives with a safety lamp,
but whether It proves any safer than a
common one we will lie better able to tell
after the catastrophe. It is certainly
calculated to make one feel a little shaky,
as if they 'were living above a powder
mine, not knowing what minute some one
will drop a spark or a hammer and Mow
us up; but then, we are wiUing to take nil
these risks in order to have the naturul gas.

A romantic story comes from Venice.
A young Englishman appeared every
morning in the tobacco divan of Signor
Alberti, bought the most expensive
cigars gave presents to the beautiful shop
girl, and, so far as his faulty command of
the Italian tongue allow ssl. paid assiduous
court to her. Subsequently he presented
her with his siting card, on w hich waa
CBgraved lxrd Rodney. He told her that
he was staying at the Grand Hotel, and
hdred the entire first etage, and was dying
for love of her. He asked her to le his
wlfo, but wished that the mai riage shonld
be performed secretly and immediately,
because, he feared that if his aristocratic
kinsfolk In England gained any know lodge
of his Intentions they would move heaven
and earth to hinder tbe nmon.
Tha young lady told the story to her
employer, and Signor Albertl prudently
enough went to the Grand Hotel, made
Inquiries and found that all the servants
spoke of the generosity and wealth of the
English nobleman. He adv lscd her to
accept the splendid offer, and a day was
fixed for the marriage. As the young
lord did not turn up at the appointed time
Signor Albertl and the lady went to the
hotel to find him. They found him In a
white cravat cleaning his master's boots.

Daniel Wrbslsr
Thongh Webster's
and tbe Bible.
fame rests chiefly
upon his oratorical powers he wa re
markable, too, for his familiarity with tha
Bible. In fart, his colleagues once nick
named him the Bible Concordance of the
United States Senate. How lie earned this
title, and how the Bible influenced his lit
erary' st le. Is told by the Youth's Com
panion :
While a mere bad he read with men
power and expression that the passing
teamsters who stopped to water thtlr,
horses used to get "Welister's loy" to
come out l-eneuth the shade of the trees
and read the Bible to them.
Those w ho heard Mr. Welter, in later
life, recite passages from the Hebrew
prophets and Psalms say that he held
them spcllNmud, while each pnsvagn, evn
the most familiar, came borne to t&em ta,
a new meaning. One pentlemnn says that
he never received such ideas of the majesty
of God and the dignity of man as he did.
one clear night when Mr. Webster, stand
ing in the ojien air, recited the eighth.
Psalm.
Webster's mother observed another old
fashion of New England in training her
son. She encouraged him to memorize
such S riptural passages as impressed him.
The boy's retentive memory, and his sen
sitiveness to Bible metaphors and to the
rhythm of the English version, stored Ma
mind with Scripture.
On one occasion the teacher of tbe dis
trict school ottered a jack-knife to the boy
who should recite the greatest numtier cf
verses from the Bible. When Webster's
turn came, he arose nnd reeled ofl so
many verses that the master was forced
to cry, 'Ennrigh'" It wns the mother"
training and the 'loy's delight 1n th
idioru9 and mnsic o King .lame's version
that made him the "Biblical Concordance
of the Senate."
But these two factors made him more
than a "concordance." The Hebrew
prophets inspired him to eloquent utter
ances. He listened to them, until tbelr
vocabulary and i.li-.ms as expressed in
King James's translations lietame his
mother-tonnue. Of bis lofty utterances It
may lie slid. as Wordsworth said of Milton's
poetry, they aie "Hebrew in soul" There
fore they project themselves Into tire
future.
The young Eiau who would be a writer
that shad 1e read, or an orator whom
people will hear, should study the English
Bible. Its f-iniznlnr beauty and great
power as liieratnre, the thousand senti
ments and associations which rse has at
tached to it. have made It a mightier force
than rut other book.

In 1813 Coleridge' face was sallow, his
eye wild, his hand and step tottering.
The cause of his condition was no longer a
secret, Cottle, as his oldest friend, ex
postulated with him. Coleridge In answer
discloses his dreary history. He w ishes to
place himself in a prhnte madhouse, and
concludes: "You bid me rouse myself; go,
bid a man paralytic in both arms to rnb
them briskly together and that will cure
bim. Alas!" be would rep'y, "that I can
not move my arms is my complaint and
misery." His sense of his degradation
was keen. "Conceive," he writes "a
spirit in hell employed In tracing out the
road to that heaven from which his crimes
j Pxdude him. In
i uj most wretched
short, conceive whatever
ed, helpless hopeless, and
yon will form a notkm of my state." Tha
sums which he spent in opium were 1nrg.
Meanwhile he left his wife and cLildren to
be mainly supported by friends and his
son Hartley was sent to college on alms
collected by Stmt hey. He "never." wrote
Sonthey in 1S14. "writes to his wife and
children, or opensa letter from them :" he
did no! even answer the letter in whU-h
Sonthey told him of the scheme for Hart
