ALL'S mLTHAT ENDS WELL BY MRS. NORA MARBLE. Miss Sarah Ann Titus was no longer young, anO, as her own box thought, never very comely. To-day tho one upright wrinkle and the other, like tho leaning tower of Pisa beside it her "in taglios," as she facetiously called them appeared moro pronounced than over upon her forehead. "Another article upon 'How to bo Beautiful,'" she said peevishly, .throwing down tho newspaper. "Last week I had about concluded to undertake the proc ess according to Daisy's receipt in tho Ladies' Oion Journal, but there's another treatment directly opposed to the other. Let me see!" and with that frown deep ening upon iter forehead Miss Sarah aroso to look for tho receipt in question. "Now this i3 tho process 'Daisy' recom mends! I must pinch my cheeks outward, my mouth upward, going through a gen eral kneading process four hours at least out of tho 24. Rub my forehead horizon tally till it tingles. Cut my eyelashes overy full moon; baths my eyes in a preparation, the receipt of which sho will 6enil upou request. Brush my hair ono hour or moro overy evening. Massago for tho figure, one hour daily. An - hour with n manicure two or three times n wee!:. A chiropodist no, treatment for the feet is not included, it seems. Wo will leavo that for women of Oriental countries, I suppose. Then the water in which I bathe must Io as hot as I can l)ear it, with an ice cold doucho to follow. Then a vigorous rubbing with a coarso towel, and and my diet, oh, yes, my diet! Principally vegetable, no coffee, no tea, no condiments, no st'iuulanls! "I had resolved upon beginning part of this treatment to-day, tho hot water and rubbing at least, but hero this skin specialist, who says sho knows of what slio writes, advises mo totally different treatment. Cold water, soft flannel or linen, no harsh rubbing or pinching, aimonu paste, crcani3, lotions, and, yes, no fretting. Her strong point is choer fulness. Train tho eyos to smile as well as the mouth. Ta bo beautiful, cultivate beautiful spirit; to obtain an emi nently pleasing expression say 'plum ;' an innocent, touching expression, repeattho word 'coo.' Plenty of good wholesome food, chocrful company, riding on horse back, etc., etc. "H'm! Well, I believe in tho knead ing process, somehow. It at least loads glow to tho countenance ; " and for ono lnortnl hour Miss Sarah Ann Titus kneadod and pinched, and rubbed her more or less sallow skin, disdaining not at intervals to say "plum" and "coo," cccording to tho specialist's formula. Mixing tho ingredients of two receipts won't hurt, " thought she. " I have dono that often in cookory, and' found tlio result very satisfactory indeed. " At tlio postomce a fow days later ar rived a goodly sized package addressed to Miss Sarah A. Titus, Busyville, Lous Island, "There's bottles of stuff in that olro packago," soliloquized tho curious post mistress, turning the packago about .in her hands. "Smells a deal sight like perfumery. Now what under the sun ia Saiy Ann Titus a wantin' of so much sweet smelllu' stuff, I wonder?" And from wondering, this amiable lady presently fell to conjecturing, and from conjecturing it did not take her long to arrive at a conclusion. It's Deacon Smith, I'll be bound; "sho exclaimed after due reflection, failing in all nor efforts to decipher anything like a label through the heavy wrapping, The pesky thing's sealed, or I'd know what's inside aforo over it left this ofllco, or my name's not Tillie Sharp. But it's Deaoon Smith, I'm certain of that. Sary Ann aln t a buying of purfumery by tho wholesale fer notlnu, jea mark my words;" and Miss Sharp nodded herheod sagaciously over some recollection which occurred to her. Du tell?" and Miss BeUev Trotter. tho village dressmaker, stared in open mouthed astonishment a minute later at the postmistress. "Deacon Smith and Sary Ann Titusl Well, I never ! " "Hut Its so, asseverated Miss Sharp, "or at least 'Anytuin fer inarm? squeaked a small voioe. just here. "She's a reck' oum onio Renin a leuer ironi sister Jane to-day. " Miss Sharp- peered into one of tho pigeon holes with no amiable expression of countenance. 'No," she snapped, "nawtliin'. " 'Drat that boy!" she exclaimed to tho impatient Mire Trotter; "twice n day fer a month he's been here axin' fer that letter. I with Jane would write and bo done with it. " "Yes, yes," said her listener. "But as you was savin', Deaoon Smith and Sary Ann ntu air " "Anything fer Sister Sal?" and "Any thing for me?" followed by other ia quirles in rapid suooawion, made a reply from the postmistress impossible, so that Miss Trotter was fain tatrot off and leave tbe matter for discussion to a more con' venlent season. Highest of all in Leavening ABSOUUfEE PURE "What! Deaoon Smith and Sarah Titus! Well, well, wonders will never ceasel" Thus before nightfall had oxclaimcd more than a score of female voices ; and before tlio close of the next day, 'tis safo to assert, not many persons within tho village but had heard the news. "But, " said moro than one, "tho deacon hain't nevor tuk her to meetin', nntl what's more, ho ain't never 'pearcd to take n sh ipe to old maids anyway. Wld Uers always seemed to be his great holt, you know. " And, in truth, more than one widow In flint, mmtmltiitv frtlf. liorsalf rnnfliflofn- blynggrioved at the news. i uont ueiteve it," snapped airs. Brown, fair, fat, and forty; "I can't be lieve it. " And in tho privacy of her own chamber, I'm fain to confess that this one widow at least, whether justly or unjustly, dubbod Deacon Smith a per fidious wretch, a trifier, a gay deceiver! In. the meantime Sarah Titus had not been idle ono hour out of the waking 24. That package from the postoffico sho hod. exultantly carried to her bed chamber. and securely fastening tho door, pro ceeded to open it. Balms, creams, and lotions ; "kohl for darkening the eyebrows and lashes; a hair "restorative" of a suspicious brown color; a manicure set, and various un guents, needless to montion. when all were displayed upon her dressing table, something of an incipient apothecary shop was presented. "Now let mo Bee, said Miss Titus, re ferring to various clippings neatly pasted in, her scrap book. "Tho last number or Beauty Qossip said no woman could bo beautiful unless, she went through certain processes overy day. Such and such a cream applied at night, this and that lotion during the day. Tho pores to bo kept open by Bteaming hot baths, etc.. etc. II m! Well, by combining one or two suggestions from each of theso writers, I shall within a fortnight see a marked improvement in my appoaranco, no doubt;" and forthwith Sarah Ann applied herself to steaming, pinching, rubbing, and lathering her faded skill with one or moro of the preparations bo fore her. That week and the upxt Jliss Titus de nied herself to all visitors. "Why, tho deacon hain't been thero this fortnight, " said Miss Trotter, whilo fitting a basque for the butcher's wife. I know ho ham 't, fer when my eye was ofTn tlio front door, one of my 'prentices was on the watch, " "They say she's a keopin' closo 'causo it's fashionable," replied tho other, "but for my part I hev a notion hain't you gottiu' that armholo too tight, Miss Trot ter? You know I must hev plenty of room when use'n the cleaver." "What's your notion," returned Miss Trotter, while make tho necessary alter ations, "conccrnin' Sary Ann?" Why, tho butcher s wire s' voico feu to a mere wliisper, "I'vo got a notion that " ' "Miss Trotter," came a voico from tho work room, "i3 Mjs. Brown's pink cal icker to hev a ruffle round tho bottom?" "Well," impatiently queried Miss Trot ter, after deciding that matter, "welt, do let mo hear what's your notion, Mrs. Lamb. I'm expirln' to know. " "It's only a notion, arter oil, you know. 1 MiSB Trotter, jes' my own notion, and " "Miss Trotter," again cried tho ap prentice," how many breadtlis must I cut off fer the back?" One and a half, stupid, " was the an swer; and again was that "notion" re quested of Mi's. Lamb. "It s my notion, then, that they ro al ready married on tho sly, jou know. That's the reason she's keepin' close, for I dessay the deacon s darters 'II cut up purty high over his marryin' sech a sour old " Mrs. Lamb was going to add "mard,"but the ago and condition of Miss Trotter made her substitute "thing" instead. But they say Sary Ann's well fixed," responded the dressmaker, snipping with evident xclish at the goods. She's tuk a mor'gago on Squire Perkins's place, as well as ou other farms around hereabouts. " Oh, that accounts fer it then," re plied Mrs. Lamb, with a laugh as rounded as her arm, "that accounts fer Deacon Smith's chooein' a broomstick 'stead 6t a woman, ha, ha!" und pretty soon tho lady took her departure "Married! ou the sly! Gracious me!" It needed no evening bulletin to spread the news. Miss Trotter had had many customers that day, and Mi's. Lamb's "notion" was soon merged into a fact. It's my opinion the deacon didn t go to town t'othor day, " remarks that lady confidently as the next inorning she dox- terously cut the chops for the bakers wife, "it's my opinion that " a smile and a wink served to finish the sentence. Why, who ever?" intelligently ox- claimed the other lady. "Upon my word I" Before many hours after this news several exemplary members ot the church met in earnest conclave. It's not seemly behavior to say tho least of it," primly remarks Deaoon While's better half, "upon the part of people long past the thoughtlessness and impetuosity of youth," Unseemly!" retorted Mrs. urown, me arrow of disappointment rankling mora and more in her heart "I call it down right disreputable, I dol" "Impetuosity of youth!" grunted a spinster of some 00 summers. "I would not liuve done such a thing tlio a King had sued for my hand. " "Of course you wouldn't," dryly re marked one of the ladles. "I am sure we all know under what rigid control you have kept that impetuosity of your nature. Miss Stone," upon which speech a subdued titter went around the circle, mueli to the discomfiture of the spin ster who nevor had had a suitor in her life. A few more friendly tilts of the like nature, and tho committee presently found themselves in fitting humor for the proitoeed visit to the delinquent bride and icroom. "I don't think," stammered Miss Ti- Uta's tnafd of all work, perceptibly em- Isurrassed, "I don't think Miss Titus ia after bein' able to see company to-day, laillM. " Power. - LatesttJ. S.

"Well, Uiat is all tho moro reason," in terrupted Mrs, Deneou White, stepping within, "that is all tho more reason that we should see her. Go toll your mistress a delegation awaits her coming," and without more ado tho committee filed, into the parlor. "Thoy looks as if they'd got n funeral on hand," whispers the help to Miss Titus, "or a prayer meetin' or sumthhr very solemn. " ' "But I can't be seen," groauetl iliaa Titus. " Just look at my facol" "I told 'cm you wassick,"BaidtheBirl, commiseratingly viewing tho face upon which the pIno'.,:iig, scalding, and "lotlon-ing" had done their perfect work. "I told 'em you was sick, anil you can jea hint like 'bout airysipelas or scarlet fover, or anytliin what leaves n. red, pimpley skin, you know." "Yes, yes, " sighed Miss Titus, ro-oronm-ing hor almost raw skin, and then plenti fully bedaubing herself with powder. "I suppose I will havo to make some such an apology for my appeaiance," as sho heroically descended to the parlor. " Gracious niel " oxaculated Mis. Brown, feeling for her smelling Halts, "whatever is tho matter with your face, Surah Auu?" Miss Titus gazed nt tho conoeutraled" faces of tho committee a ' gasped out something which might have been Cero-bro-Spiual-Mcneugetls, Erysipelas, or auylhing else under tho sun. "Allow mo to congratulate you, Mra. Smith," presently said Mrs. Deacon White, wishing heartily for n bit of camphor tho while, "though, for a bride, I must say you do present a most de plorable appearance. " "A bride!" echoed Miss Titus, tho blotches upon her face turning the huo of a fine Voyal purple. "Mo a bride!" "Thero is no ueed for further secrecy, Sarah Ann," responded Mrs. Brown. "The fact of Deacon Smith being shut up hero for days mak j tho acknowledgment of j ur marriage a necessity, it seems to me. ' " Deacon SmithI Shut up hero for daysl " gasped Miss Titus, showing strong symp toms of hysteria. "Why of all things!" At this juncture tho frowzy head of the help appeared at the parlor door. "Deacon SmithI ma'am!" she an nounced with a giggle, "and ho says as how he wants to seo you alono, all by yourself, ma'am. " Tho look of virtuous indignation upon tho faces of tho "rising" committee, added to Miss Titus's confusion. "I wouldn't seo him for tho world," she cried. "Tell him Tm ill, dying, any thing!" covering her disfigured face with her hands after one despairing glance in tho mirror. "Excuse mo," said a suave voice, and into tho parlor strodo Deacon Smith, not withstanding tho protestations of the help, "but having just returned from a business trip of several wooks, Miss Titus, I havo only a fow moments ago heard the tnlk concerning our marriage ohl" per cclviug the group of ladies, "I trust I have not intruded upon a meeting of tho Aid Society. " Tlio deacon seemed to pronounco that oue word with a peculiar intonation. "Our marriage!" whispered Mrs. Dea con White to tho embarrassed Mrs. Brown, "do you hear that, and still Sarah Ann will keep on denying it, I suppose." Deacon Smith's ears caught tho whis per. "Our rumored marriage, " he corrected with a smile, "a rumor without one p'ar- ticlo of foundation, permit me to say. Miss Titus, overwhelmed with various emotions, burst into tears. Tho deacon with a look of wonderful resolution upon lus face, walked ovor to her cowering figure, and stooping, endeavored to possess himself of her face hiding hands. The committee, lather bhauutfuceuly, hereupon too!: their hurried departure "Miss Titus, Baid the deacon, not without somo embarrassment. "I long have admired you, and " But why should I relate what Deacon Smith said upon that delicate occasion, or what, pre sumably, was Miss Titus s answer? Ji' think, exclaims tho postmistress a mouth or so later, " jos' thiuk what a fow laltlin' busy bodies kin bring about! Nov, thcre'b that marrtugo of Miss Titus's ami Dcauou Smith's!

The Census Bureau has issued a bull -tin on the distribution of population in arconlance with altitude. It appears that iu the area below 500 feet is meiudeil Hourly all that part of the population which is engaged in manufsrt'""his anil in the foreign commerce of the country and most of that engaged hi tho culture of cotton, lice, and sugar. Tho interval between BOO feet and 1,000 feotcompris"! tho greater part of the prairie SUit and grain producing States of tho North west. East of the 08th meridian 1,8 JO feet is practically the upper limit of pop ulation, all the country lying almve that elevation being mountainous. Tlio poj uUtiim between 2,000 and( 5,000 feet is found mainly on tho slope of the great. Western plains. Above 8,000 feet, irrign Mini is almost universally necessary for mi 'cose in agricultural operations. IVtween 4,000 and 5,000 feet, ami niorfc m '!Mly between 6,000 and 0,0 (I feet, the population is decidedly in excess of the grade or grades below it. This is mainly line to tho fact that tho densest settlement at high.altitudes in the Cor dilleran region is nt the eastern base of the Kooky Mountains and in the valleys about Great Salt Lako, which rcgionu lie Inft.veen 4,000 and 0,000 feet.

"Your mainspring is broke," was tho positive declaration of a jeweler to a young man as ho entered and walked up to tho counter, meanwhllo probing for Ins watch, llio young man haun t saul n word, "How did you guess it,'' ho asked, when ho recovered from his amazement. "Didu't guess it; I knew it," was the jeweler's reply. "That is, I could almost havo sworn to it when I saw you feoling for your watch. I guessed then that something was tho matter with that article, and, having guessed that, I was ready to bet $25 to $1 that it was the mainspring that was broken. And I'll tofl you why : There's a certain time of the year and this happens to be it this year when, if I havo two or three per sons como to me with broken main springs, I can mako up my mind that I'll have 20 or 30 more of the same kind of customers within a very short time. Now its just a week and a day ago that O man came to have a job 6f ties kind dono, and up to to-day I've had no less than 30 mainsprings to put in. They break voluntarily; atmospheric condi tion has something to do with it. Now, I'll put a new spring in your watch which I guarantee for a year. It may last two or three, years, and, again, it may not last two days, ono day, or an hour. You can't tell; they're liable to break any timo, no matter of how good quality they are. I'vo had new springs break right after I have put them in. " Buffalo Courier. Moor Baths.

Some physicians still question their eulcacy, whilo others in Austria and Germany roly upou them to render good service in many maladies. Though the bath is composed of peat or moor earth to which enough water has been added to mako a thick paste of the mass, yet the psat ti different frien that which is oxtraeted from a bog iu Ireland and Scotland, In both Irelaud and Scotland tho peat is used as fuel ; at Frazensbad the mineralized peat will not servo such a purpose. The bog from which it is oxtnictad has been saturated throughout countless ages with mineral water, and the product is a strong chem ical compound. Thus a moor bath is u mineral bath in a concentrated form, uud effects are produced upon the system by taking a course of these batlis which can not be produced, according to experts, by any mineral water.
