A MOTHER IN LAAV.
"I woulJu't havo believed it of you,
tlachol," said Mrs. Edmonstono plaint-
Ivoly, "No, I vvouldu't, not unless Belay
Tackcr liad told me; nnd Betsy, she
hover told a lie no moro than George
Washington did."
"Why, mother, what nro you talking
about?" questioned Mrs. Thomas Ed
monstoue, untying tho elder lady's bon
net strings and relioving her of a splint
basket, a black silk bag, a waterproof
cloak, nnd an umbrella.
"Aud I've como to seo if its true,"
added the old lady.
"If what s true, mother?"
"That you said you wished tliero wasn't
no such person as tn-me !" faltered Mrs.
Edmonstoue.
Jlother, you know I never could havo
said such a thing!" crlod Rachel.
Well, it wasnt exactly that; but
Belsy Tncker heard you say you wished
tliero wns no such a thing as a tnothor in
law."
"Oil," cried liachel, with ahystorical
liltle laugh, "I plead guilty I I did say
that. ' But it was under such strong
provocation, and I uover meant you.
How could I, when you havo always
been so prood to me?"
"I kucvv it couldn't bo true," said Mrs.
Eilnionstone, Bottling herself iu tho
easiest rocking chair and nodding hor
cap ctriugs comfortably. "But how came
you to niakethatox-trti-or-dinaryspeech,
Iir.chel, about mother in law in general?"
It Tins Tom," said tho wife. "Ho
was so aggravating 1"
Thomas always was aggravating,"
snid Mrs. Edmonstono, stirring tho cup
of tea that Rachel had brought hor.
"What was it about now? The break
fast cakes?"
"Oli, you remombor nbout tho break
fast cakes, don't you?" said Rachel, with
merry mischief sparkling iu her oyes.
"Noj tt wasn't tho breakfast cakes this
time; it was the shirts."
The shirts?"
"Well, you know ho said it was such a
wasteful, extravagant proceeding to buy
shirts ready made," explained Rachel,
"lie said the linen was poor, and the
work regular slop shop stylo, and he de
clared you always used to make his shirts
at home, overy stitch, before ho was mar
ried. "
MSo I did," acknowledged Mrs. Edmon
stono, with a groan, "But that was in
the old times, before you could buy such
a good article as they havo now, "
Yea, but Tom doesn't make any allow
ance for difference in times and customs, "
Bighed Rachel. "Ho wanted homemade
shirts, and homemade shirts he would
havel"
"And you made 'em ?"
"Yes, I madothem."
"You were a great goose," reflectively
spoko Mrs. Edmonstono.
'And and Tom swore dreadfully the
first time he put one on"
" I don't in the least doubt It. "
"And he said they set like meal bags.
and that they twisted his neck around as
if he had just been hanged, and grasped
him on tho shoulders like a policeman!
Oh, I can't tell you what he didn't say!"
"Bless met said Mrs. Edmonstono.
"Ilo told me his mother's shirts set liko
a glovo, aud fitted him perfectly and
why could I not turn out a shirt like
those ? And it was then, mother dear,"
suddenly flinging her arms around tho
old lady's plump, comfortable neck,
"that I lost my head, and tpld htm I
wished there wasn't sucli a tiling as a
mother in law In the world! And Betsy
Tacker sat in tho sowing room altering
over my dolman in the spring style, and
I suppose bUo must have heard me. "
"Don't mind It, my dear," said Mrs.
Edmonstono.
" No, I won't, " protested Rachel. "But,
oh, those shirts! I'vo been ripping them
apart and sewing thorn together again,
and rounding oil a gusset here, and tak
ing in a plait there, until I have got so
that I dream of them at night; and the
moro I try them on the worse they fit,
and tho more unreasonable dots Tom be
come. 'My mother never made such
work of it as this!' he says. "
"Thomas forgets," observed Mrs. Ed-
monstone severely.
"And I am sure, it things go on liko
this," added Rachel, pushing her short
brown curls off her forehead, "itwlll end
in a separation on account of ' incompat
ibility or temper.'"
"No.Ht won't, my dear, "said the moth'
er in law, "Here, get me tho pattern and
some shirting muslin, and a pair of ecu
tors."
"What are you going to do, mother?"
eagerly questioned Rachel
"I'm going to make Tom a shirt. But
don't you tell 1dm, Rachel. We'll seo
whether it Is Tom or the pattern that has
altered."

Once moro the mischievous light came
into Rachel's bright blue oyes.
"I wish nil the world were mothers in
law!" she cried gleefully. "Wiiy didn't
1 think of this before?"
"Ouo can't think of everything, child,"
said Mrs. Edmonstoue consolingly.
Thomas Edmonstoue welcomed his
mother cordially when he came home
from business.
"I'm so glad you'vo come!" said he,
"Wo can have some of tho nlco old fash
ioned dishes now, Rachel can't seem to
get the hang of thorn, although she has
always had your book of recipes to guldo
her. "
"Rachel's a great deal better cook than
ever I pretended to be," said Mrs. Ed
monstono. "They havo patent egg beat
ers and cream whippers and raisin seed
ers, and all that sort of thing now, that
thoy didn't have in my day. I never
tasted nicer bread than Rachel makes,
and tiioso popovers are delicious. "
"You're just saying that to encourage
Rachel, "said Mr. Edmonstono, with an
incredulous smile. "Thincs will run
smooth now you'vo come. That is one
comfort. "
"Oli, I shouldn't think of interfering in
Rachel's kitchen," said the old lady.
rieaso, do, mother." coaxed tho wife.
not without a certain quiver in her lip.
"Do let Tom have a reminiscence of the
old days while you are here. "
well, just as you children say." con
ceded tho mother in law, good humor
edly. Slio remained a week at her son's house.
during which period of tlmo Tom was all
exultant complacency.
"Tills," said he. "is somethinc liko
living. I feel myself a boy again when
i taste tliese apple fritters. "
"They're not bad." said Rachel, who
had made them with her own skillful
hands. And she helped herself to a little
of the sauce.
"And why didn't vou learn mv mother's
knack of making such pio crust as this?"
demanded Tom. "There's no dvsnens a
here. "
" I'm glad you're pleased. " said Rachel.
with a guilty glance at her mother in
law. "Uh, by the way, Tom, tho last of
the set of shirts is finished now ! Will
you put it on to-morrow?"
"I suppose so." uneraciouslv uttered
Tom. "Wilt set liko fury, I dare say,
iiue an tlie rest of them I"
"You might at leist give it a trial. "
"Didn't I say I would?" still moro un
graciously. "Tiioso shirts will bo the
death of me yet," ho added, turning to
hU mother with n groan, whilo Rachel
sat steadily observing tho pattern of tho
tablecloth.
The breakfast stood smoking on tho
table next morning when Mr. Edmon
stono came into tho room twisting him
self as if he were practicing to bo a
human corkscrew. Mrs. Edmonstono
timidly glanced up at him.
"Doesn't it fit, Tom?" she questioned.
"Fit! Just look at it, will you?" ho
retorted, "Fit I Hangs like a window
curtain around my nock pinches my
wrists liko a pair of handcuffs ! I feci
as if I were in a straight jacket, " writh
ing impatiently to tmd fro. "Oh, Imiglit
have known it beforehand. You havo'nt
an Idea what the word fit means. I
wish, mother, you could teach this wifo
of mino how to make a decent shirt 1"
"Thomas, snid Mrs. Edmonstono,
solemnly, transfixing him with tho glis
tening spheres of her spectacle glasses,
"you aro not very polite. I made that
shirt."
"You, mother!"
" Yes, I myself. Just as I used to mako
Bhirts for you in the old times that you're
always sighing for. I've been working
at it ever since I've been in tho house.
Throw away tho pattern, Rachel, and
don't waste any more time trying to mako
your husband's shirts, " she added. "It's
an economy of time and temper, as well
as of money, to buy them ready made.
And as for tho cooking you havo been
praising 117 so eloquently of late, Tom, I
Haven't touclied a pot or a pan. It s all
your wife's work. So much for imagina
tion! Oh, you needn t hang your head
so sheepishly; you're neither better nor
worse than most men. I never saw tho
man yet that didn't need to hear a little
wholesome truth now and then. You've
got tho best aud sweetest llttlo wife in tho
world."
"Mother!" pleaded Rachel, trying to
put her baud over the old lady's mouth;
but Mrs. Edmonstoue went on
"And it's my advice to you to try nnd
treat her as she deserves. "
"I I don't know but I have been rather
cranky of lato, now that I come to think
of it," said Tom, sulf accusingly,
"Crank! I should think so," said the
old lady. "I'm sure I don't know what
the world's coming to. Hero's little
Goorgy toddling around with his wooden
cart. The flint you know he'll be telling
his wife about the wonderful successes
his mother used to make in this, that,

"And Ocorgy will be right,"BaId Tom,
who, after all, had a magnanimous streak
through him. "What a crab I've been!
Hang tho homemado shirts! I'll buy 'cm
next time. Kiss me, Rachel. And bo
sure you let me have a dish of scalloped
oysters when I come to dinner."
Tho oysters Rachel cooked.
Ho ate his breakfast and departed.
And when ho was gone young Mrs. Ed
monstone looked with shining eyes at old
Mrs. Edmonstone.
"Oh, what a nice thing it is to have a

WOJIKX NIHILISTS OF RUSSIA.
They Arc the Most Determined Kiirmlrs
or the'Cinr.
In Russia women havo becomo the
most daring enemies of dospotUtm, They
invariably belong to tho most intelligent
nud cultivated classes. Lett' i i nnd pho
togrnphs secretly received fr.no Switzer
land throw considerable light on the lives
of thoso at present in exile and those who
have escaped lo other lauds.
Russia would have tho lest of tho
world believe that Nih'lism has becomo
extinct throughout tho empire, says the
Chicago Times. AVhat tho orgsm of tho
government voice and what tho actions
of tho people prove are two facts difficult
to reconcile. So strong has thf move
ment now grown that high horn dames
do not hesitate to descend from their
lofty estate to assist the peasant mother
in the enro or her little home, and at the
same time instill into her dulled intellect
something of the same spirit which in
spired her noble sacriflco in freedom's
cause.
Of this class wns the nobly born nnd
highly gifted Alexandra Khorjovskaya,
who did such good work for the cause In
the province of Kieil. Her great beauty
nnd genial manners won nil hearts to
her, nud she was enabled to carry on her
woik unsuspected for several years. She
oven penetrated into the police sanctums
of tho cities sho visited, and by this
inenns sho oblnined much valuable in
formation, nnd many times saved her co
workers from arrest and Imprisonment.
The government, at lost becoming con
vinced that some unseen power was tit
work throughout Kieff, set their spies to
track tho propagandist, nnd they suc
ceeded iu entrapping Alexandra Klior
jevskaya, who wns arrested and thrown
into a foul dungeon, where sho lay for
many months.
Without any form of trial whatever
sho wns exiled to Siberia with haixl labor
for IS years. Another noted woman who
stands high in tho ranks of the nihilists
is Eugenia Subotina, who fearlessly acted
tho part of tho spy in the interests of her
party, and finally succeeded in securing
from a leading official all tho immediate
plans of General Iguatieff for the over
throw of nihilism. There were two
Subotina Bisters, Eugenia and Maria.
Both wcro instrumental in distributing
iuccudinry literature throughout St.
Petersburg and Moscow, nnd both were
sent to Siberia. They belong to ono of
tho oldest Russian families, and were
noted for their beauty and intelligence

One reason of this is that tho rules govern-
iug incise institutions nro 01 tlio most ar
bitrary description, and youth naturally
rebels against tho hand of oppression. A
number of students conversing together
is sufficient to arouso suspicion, and they
nro quickly mado to disperso. This sys
tem of repression naturally engenders a
feeling of secrecy, which, allied to mys

Elastic but Strong, This I.nml.
"When foreigners impugn the elas
ticity and strength of our institutions,"
snid Robert D. Lay ton to rae yesterday,
" I am fond of quoting to them a bii of
my own oxperieuce. In tho spriflg of
1863 I was present when General John
ston surrendered to Shernian. Tlio regi
ment I served in, tho Thirteenth Penn
sylvania Cavalry, formed a part of Gen
eral Sherman's escort. One of the sur
pi Ups ot that day to us troopers was the
nppenranco of General Wheeler, the fa
mous Confederate cavalry leader. Ho
had been raising Caiu with m for
months, nud this nnd Ids raids in former
campaigns liad mado us think of him
p.s being of fearful proportions. Wo ex
pected to And a giant, and when a little
man of spare frame was pointed out to
us as tho terrible- General Wheeler wo

Mrnullisr of the Word "Dell."
Numbered witli other problems refer
ring to, small matters is tlio ouo why the
little muuuikiu so enjoyed by girls is
called a "doll" instead of, 11s the French
do, a "puppet" or, with tho Italians, a
"bambino," or baby. With a view to
setting at rest tlio minds of tho littlo
women on this subject, Golden Days
has InvcotigHteil tlio meaning of the
word "doll. " It says "To explain, it is
uecf swtry to go back to the Middlo Ages,
when it was tlio foehiou all over the
Chriktiau woild for mothers to giro
their little children the name of u patron
saint. Soiuo utinU were mora popular
lliHiiotheis, and St. Dorothea whs atone
period moro popular than all. Dorothea,
or Dorothy, tis the English have it,
means a 'gift from Owl.' But Dorothea
or Dorothy is much too long a name for
a little, toddling baby, and no it was
shortened to Dolly aud Doll, and from
giving the babies a nickname it was au
easy step to give the name to the littlo
images of which the babies were so fond. "

A Finished Plytr.
Tlio sick room was very still ; the night
lamp burned low, and the watchers mado
fantnstlo shadows on tho wall, but no
one moved or stioko. Tiie doctor said
tills was the turning point ot the disease,
and there was nothing to do hut to wait

The boy slept and his father kept his
eyes fixed upon the thin, wasted features,
nnd wntched for what ho hoped would
prove a now leases of life. The mother
liad gone to lie down aud rest. The
nurse sat near nnd dozed. At last tho
sick child suddenly opened his large
bright oyes and said in a clear voice :
"l'.ipn."
" What, dear boy ! " answered the father
soflly.
"Is it near morning?"
"Yes, dear boy!"
"And will I lw well In the morutng?"
"I I hope so," sobbed the poor father,
faintly.
There was a long silence, then the sick
child moved restlessly on his pillows.
"I want to say my prayers," he mur
mured. Tho father beckoned to tho nurse and
sho brought Iho mother, who stole softly
in nud knelt on the other side of the bed.
"Lift me up," said the dying child In a
full clear voice; "hold me, papa, while I
nay my prayers. "

" Papa, I can't lememlier! I can't re
member!" "No matter, dear boy, you can finish it
In tlio morning."
Again ho lay among tho pillows like a
pale lily, and his eyes were open wide.
"I can't see you, papa," he murmured,
""Will It soon be morning?"
"Yes, dear boy."
"And will I ha well then?"
The poor father could not answer. No
one spoke, and a faint light soon stolo
jnto tho room that drowned the flicker
ing rays of the night lamp aud shone
rosy ou tlio wall. Then suddenly a little
voice filled tho room. It was so sweet
aud clear that it sounded like a strain of
music from celestial spheres. It was the
dying boy finishing his prayer! When lie
came to the last clause he seemed grop
ing iu doubt.
" Forever and over forever and ever "
nud with the words on his lips he drifted
off to sleep again.
The rising sun shone into the room nnd
lighted up its dim obscurity. It lay in
golden bars on tho whito pillows, and
touched tho little face with a mocking
glow of health and strength. Perhaps
it wakened him, but in the valley of the
shadow of death he could not discern,
and with wide open eyes thatsnwnot.ho
murmured plaintively:
"Is it nearly morning, papa?"
"It is morning now, dear boy. "
A smile trembled on the closed lips
there was a flutter of breath that came
and went as the child clasped his thin

Pneumatic Stall Tubes.
For nearly four years n company of
capitalists and engineers has continued
experiments witji a nloie and more Im
proved combination of paeumatio tubes
aqd electric appliances intended to for
ward mail ma'ttr at a we of speed far
exceeding that of the fastest exprSS
trains. For short distances cylindrical
boxes, holding abijut 200 letters apiece,
can imdoubtedly be shot along at tlfe
rate of 120 miles an hour, and by means
of a system of qujck transfer stations the
transit time from New Orleans to PhJJa
delphia could thus be shortened to text 0
twelve hours. The establishment of an
experimental line between Philadelphia
and New York seerus an assured fact,
and the State of California would find It
a profitable investment to spend a dozen
millions in encouraging the invention.
Tlio expenses of a trip to the West coast
of our continent and tlio irksomencss of
a few days' confinement in a railway car
are, after nil, only minor considerations,
and tho circumstance deterring most
East Americans from transferring their
homes to the Pacific Slope is the delay in
the mail communications witli the At
lantic States. A line of pneumatic tubes
from Baltimore to San Francisco would

Their First.
They came into the street car together
Sunday afternoon, a little bit of a young
mother still pale with the delicate pal
lor the cheeks of young mothers often
wear. Behind her there came a great,
tall, awkward young fellow with the
baby iu his arms. He had all tho awk
wardness and the clumsiness of tho aver
age young father who goes abroad for the
first time with a baby of his own on Ids
arms. He held it up to his broad, full
chest so gently and so tenderly iu the
hollow ot ono of his big red hands, a
frail, helpless littlo bundle of humanity,
for which that great giant would lay
down his life.
"Shan't I take him now?" asked tlio
baby's mother when sho sat down.
"No, no; I'll hold him," he said, as ho
gathered up the baby's long ruffled and
tucked white skirts to keep them from
touching the car floor after he hnd sat
down.
"When you get tired holding him I'll
take him," she said.
"Oh, he won't tire me any. He isn't
any heavier than a bird," was the reply.
Aud there they sat oblivious to every
thing and everybody but the baby, theii
baby! Its coming had been to them tho
beginning of the real home epic, and its
tiny presence had made their little world
so much larger and brighter nnd sweeter
than it was before. Detroit Free Press,

Mr. Cable says, will weiglk but a couple

this metal capable of carrying from four
to six persons can be made of a weight
