Mr. Milner boarded at 3 Simpson ter
race (there was no terrace, bat tho
squire thought tho name sounded so
norous and pleasant, so he had chris
tened his flvo little cottages "SimpRon'B
terrace"). IIo boarded with Mrs. Chip
ley and her two daughters, Maud and
Marian, who felt it n great distinction
to be of any service, however slight, to
tbo pastor.
Maud gathered fresh flowers for tho
study table overyday. Marian sat up
late nights to Iron and mend table linen
so that tho good man might have aTelcan
napkin every day, and to darn his stock
ings so that you could not tell mended
pieces from tho whole, and the little
widow herself exhausted every culinary
resource to humor his dyspepsia and to
contrive dainty dishes out of the least
possible foundation. To these three
simple women Rov. Milo Milner was
like an embodied saint.
"And now that Mr. Milner is safely
gono for the day," said Mrs. Chipley,
"we'll clean tho sitting room and white
wash the walls. Hun to Dixey's, Maud,

over tho fire, "I've such an Idea in my

"Green paiut, Marian! What for?"
"Hush! don't let mamma hear! I'm
so tirod of hearing this called tho houso
with the blue door."
Maud obeyed. Although tho elder in
point of years, sho had long been accus
tomed to be domineered over by pretty
positive Marian.
"But it is the strangest thing.
Marian," sho said, as fifteen or twenty
minutes later sue handed over a mys
tcrlous tin can and an oblong paper par

"Tastes differ." said Marian, shrug.

Oh, but to think of tho work of ill-
said Maud, lifting both her hands.
Mrs. Chipley came In at tint moment
also clad in what Marian called her
"scrubbing regimentals," and wearing
on olivo silk handkerchief lied around
her still bright arid glossy hair, and tho
threo set themselves determinedly to
work.
Rev. Milo Milner, on reaching tho
railway station, received a telegram
that his friend, Professor Klingenbnrg,
could not possibly meet him that day.
"Very good, said Mr. Milner, "111
just step bock home and get a mouthful
of luncheon, and then I'll go to look over
those ancient manuscripts with Br.
Hodges. lie has been urging me to do
so for some time past, and I may never
havo a better opportunity than this."
Mr. Milner tucked the umbrella under
his arm, tipped hU block, wide rimmed
, hat over his ej cs and set oil on a swift
t.iill 1(1 1 1 i )N. r.v i swinging stride back toaiuipson terrace.
, The blue door stood wide open, bo Iio
I walked iu without tho least ceremony.
'PrAt, T,niitt" lifl until In litmsplf . plo.
is fresh paint. And I'vo got it nil o er
the skirts of my best coat tool Vhcro
is Mrs. Chipley? What has become of
the girla? Nobody ever seems to 1m in
by lamplight. The green might bo mis.
taken for n lively blue tho blnofor a
dnll green.
"Blttol" said tho pastor firmly. "Do
you think I haven't tho use of my eyes?"
"Green," persisted Marian. "I know,
because I put it on myself."
"It is not well," said Hev. Milner,
"for tho yonng to bo too positive."
"But truth is truth," said Maud.
"And whilo I'm about it," said Mr.
Milner, now thoionghly exasiierated, "1
deem it my duty to reinonstrnto with
you concerning thoextrnvngant and un
warranted Btyle of diet In which you in
dulgo doling my nlwence!"
"1 rton t know what you mean." said
Mrs. Chipley, feebly catching her breath.
"Hasty pudding nnd milk can t be
called extravagance," hazarded Maud.
Scorched at that, murmured Ma
rian.
"Itoast grouse and currant jelly," said
the pastor. "Chicken salad aud sponge
cake. Aud hero again 1 trust to the
ovidcuco of my eyesight all set out on
your old butterfly pattern china. I
know, becauso I ate of it myself."
Ton you got into tho wrong house.
gasped Maud.
It was tho houso with the blue door.
serenely uttered Mr. Milner, as If this
were an incontrovertible argument.
Marian clapped her hands hyster
ically.
"Mamma," 6ho cricdt "Maud, Mr,
Milner was tho tramp who ato up Miss
Dean's company luncheon. That was
just what Francesco Dean told me they
hod prepared! And on our butterfly
china too!"
It was tho houso with the blue door,"
stubbornly replied Mr. Milner.
"But Joo Dean painted their door bluo
today!" exclaimed Marion. "And I
painted ours green."
Alio pastor sank limply into n choir.
"Then," ho said, "I'vo got green and
bluo paiut both on tho skirts of my coat,
and I havo made n dreadful blunder in
tho bargain! And I must go at onco nnd
apologizo to thu Dean family; but not
until you, my kind friends, have for
given mo for my meddling interference."
"But really," said mischievous Maud,
hasty pudding isn't nn extravagance"
Mrs. Chipley and Marian hastened to
deprecate tho pastor's humility, and ho
went sadly to mako his penco with Misa
rancesca Deon.
"It is kind o' mieer," said Deacon
Phllpott, talking tho matter over somo
days afterward. "The dominie, ho
plumb admits that Ilea sort o absent
minded, nnd needs a wife to keep him
straight. And I'll bet even on pretty
Miss Maud and Franccscn Dean."
Tho deacon, however, was wrong for
onco iu his life. Pastor Milner did get
married, but it was neither to bluo eyed
k rancesca nor dark orbed Maud. I.iko
a sensible man ho proposed to Widow
Chipley herself, and wai accepted nt
onco.
"But if Mrs. Milner does not object,"

New York from Ihe OuUlde.
New Yorkers and jicrsons who como
here frequently do not re.ilizo the strong
desire to seo the city that exists in small
and distant communities a desire which
often amounts to the ambition of a life
time. A few summers ago, iu a little
villago tn a remoto comer of ono of the
middle states, was encountered a woman
of forty, a spinster, who, when she found
her new acquaintance was from New
York, began a spirited conversation
about tho cits', reciting streets glibly.
indicating localities and betraying so
much accurate knowledge of tho place
that her listener finally naked her how
long since sho had left tt.
"Oh, I'vo never been in New York,'
was the reply. "I've wanted to always,
nnd I'm hoping to go this fall; I've got
two mnps of the city, though, and I've
worn tuem out studying tne places,
believe I could go with my eyes shut
from tho Uattery to Central park.
It Is gratifying to record that her
ambition was realized the following
autumn, and It was little short of mar
velousto seo how completely this conn
try woman had New York at her fingera'
ends. flew otk Amies,

expression has no place in modem slang,
but compliance with the order doubtless
Involved n journey to sections not down
on our list of desirable habitations. Be
that as It may, the fact remains that the
caput destltue of hairy adornment has
all along been tho bntt for universal
ridicule,
But It is a long lane which has no
turning, nnd the baldhead's turn has
come at last. Borne enterprising philan
thropist has invented a polish for the
hairless crown which Is warranted to
turn It tuto n thing of beauty and joy
forever. This bleating comes tn the
shape of a polish, which is easily ap
plied by a barber and imparts to the al
ready shining crown a shine bo brilliant
that it dazzles tho eyes and so smooth
that upon it no fly can gain a foothold.
Those who havo never experienced
the joya and sorrows of baldness may
not bo able to apprcclato the value of
this discovery. The value is thcro just
tho same. V ith a little care the pollsa
can bo made windtlght and mosquito
proof, and the baldheaded man will no
longer fall nu easy prey to the influenza
laden breezes, while ho can He down to
dreams unbroken by the assaults of
winged things. Surely tho baldheud
millennium is at hand.
Tho direct moral inllucnco of this dls
covery cannot be overrated. With hi,
sparsely thatched crown protected from
the attacks of envious Cascas the bald
head will recover from his tendency to
ward the use of unauthorized expletives,
and he may even rise to the point of
taking a front seat tn the sanctuary in
fly time. Believed of tho necessity for
turning his sknll into a block upon
which to butcher tho musca domestlca,
etc., he will be able to turn his whole
thought to the sermon, thus setting a
worthy example to the congregation
while absorbing truths of which he ha3
long stood In need.
If there ts justice In all things, tho
man who makes two blades of grass
grow where one has grown beforo vdl
havo to take a back seat when the in
ventor of the polish for baldheads comes
In for his reward.

Uncertain l'lece of Slerlianlsm Main
spring, In Kxpenslve Watches.
"Mainsprings nro very lunch like peo
ple," said a llroadwoy watchmaker the
other day.. "They are as susceptible to
extreme degrees of heat and cold ns
human bciugs. When the thermometer
Is hovering around tho freezing point or
dancing nwoy up lu the nineties the lit
tle mainspring will gtvo up In disgust
and uncoil itself aud die, just as ra-n
sucenmu to freezing or sunstroke. I
This uncertain piece of mechanism Is
supposed to be adjusted to meet the
various degrees of temperature, but
when the chongo Is very great and
comes with short notice there is nothing
that con prevent them from snapping.
They are made in Switzerland of the
very finest quality of steel, absolutely
flawless. Very often the watchmaker
can detect a bad spring beforo putting
It in the watch, cither by Its color or
the softness of its spring. These, have
been too highly tempered lu the making,
and instead of being subjected to merely
a red heat the tiro has been brought to
white heat, thus weakening the strength
of the metal. Tho finest watches that aro
handled by reliable dealers aro put
through a "cooking and freezing" proc
ess before they are sold, for tho purposo
ot testing their reliability In all temper
atures. The watclt Is first placed tna Utile
metal box, which is mode airtight,
Then a strong gas flame is turned on
the under surface of the box and Is kept
thcro for two or threo hours, so that tho
watch Is so hot at the end of that time
that it could not bo touched with the
bare hand. From this it is immedi
ately taken and put into another me
tallic box which Is buried in Ice. Thcro
the costly watch is allowed to freezo
for an equal length of time, when its
torture ceases and the examination is
made. If during this excessive test the
wotch appears to have ticked merrily
on without deviating a fractional port
of a second It is placed back in the case
and lnorEed "guaranteed for two years."
The mainspring ts the first piece of
mechanism that succumbs to the test
If it survives nothing else need lie feared.
Mainsprings are, however, about the
only part of a watch that tho jeweler
cannot successfully diagnose. They cau
guoranteo any of the numberless little
wheels or pivots or balances that go to
make up the anatomy of the watch, but
the mainspring has as yet baffled tho
most skilled makers of watches ot all
countries. It Is not so much stie severe
extremes of tho weather that provo fatal
to the spring as it is the process of
changing from hot to cold, or vice versa
Like the human frame. If the ribbonlike
little coll of steel can withstand the ef
fects of this change It maybe considered
proof against breaking when the change
to normal weather comes.
Mam peoplo who havo been posscssot s
of new watches but a short time come
Into the dealer's with blood In their eyes,
declaring that they have paid an enor
mous price for the timepiece and the
mainspring has broken after only i
week's use.
"That Is nothing," remarked the jewel
'. "We have them snap in our cose
before the watch has over been shown
for sale." Others Imagine that they
might have wound the watch too tight.
but this does not harm it. It is rather
the jerky, hurried winding that will
eventually tell on the temper of the
metal. Every good stem winder has a
iton placed in tho stem, which prevents
the winding too tight.
Damp weather has an ill effect on
mainsprings, and in England they do
not as a rule last as long as In this coun
try. A severe thunder and lightning
storm also frequently proves disastrous
to tho durability of the spring. A dealer
w no too:: In seventy-nine watches on one
day said that one summer on u clay im
mediately following a terrlno electrical
storm there were twenty-one watches
brought into his store within live hours
for new mainsprings Tho cost of a new
mainspring is the small part of making
such repair. It Is the putting them in,
tho labor expended, that costs. It costs
from twelve to fifteen dollars to put a
mainspring in the Jurgensen watch and
a little less in a Fatek Phillippe, while
in a cheaper American make it may
cost only fifty cents or a dollar.
A man purchased a f3on jurgensen
from a leading dealer several years ago,
and shortly after be left for a tour
around tho world. He was gone a year.
and when he returned he went back to
the dealer with his watch and com
plained! "Here's a watch I paid you
1300 for a year ago, and while I was
traveling abroad it lost two minutes.
You guaranteed it, and I want you to
make it good." The watch was placed
in the window with this card be

In the latest times the Hebrews called the

her divine honors In this character at
the time of the captivity. What wus
the antiquity ot this lunar worship
among the Hebrews is testified (as hoi

Mount Sinai in the history of the He
