The Two Miss Amberleys.
Within the vine-clad window two
charming girls, in the severely ample
attire that fashion prescribes for travel
ing. Without, a long, well-knit, mas
culine figure lies perdu in the grass, face
invisible, being covered by the owner's
w To him there saunters another
gentleman, dark, stylish, wide-awake.
"Hullo. Kingston! Wake up. Got
something to tell you." And he unkindly
draws away the sheltering hat, disclos
ing a handsome, angry face.
"Confound you! What makes you
pester a fellow so in this warm
weather?" says the victim, sitting up
disconsolately.
" Did I spoi 1 your nap ? Have a cigar,
instead. I wanted to tell you of the new
arrival, Aggie Amberlcy, the great
heiress, with her cousin and companion.
There's a chance for you to get a rich
wile, my boy!"
" Don't want one. Ilang this cigar,
it don't draw! A poor tnan like myself
cant afford to marry s rich wife."
"I should say that he couldn't afford
to marry anything else," laughed the
other, "and Aggie Amber ley is a beauty
as well as an heiress. You don't often
meet such a prize!"
"You had better make up to her
yourself," said Kingston, dryly.
Perhaps I shall, and leave you the
cousin, who is also a beauty in another
style. Hanged if I'll tell you which is
which, though! And you'll never find
it out from the manner of our hosts to
ward them. There are no worshipers of
the golden calf in this house."
" Humph 1" said Kingston, and smoked
a few minutes in silence; then he broke
•ut: "The man that marries a woman
lor her money is the meanest creature
that CTHWIS on this earth! You have
money enough of your own, Preston,
for your motives to be above suspicion,
hot as for me —by Jove! I would not
marry a rich woman if I loved her ever
aowell! I've no fancy for the name of
fcrtune-hunter."
"Bravo, Don Qui vote!" laughed hi
friend. " Now, suppose we go and tako
a swim. You need some cooling off."
They strolled away, unconscious of
fcir eyes watching them.
Then said one young lady to the
slfcrr:
" If that fcliOw does not marry a rich
Woman my name's not Aggie Amber
•j!"
A. few days later Mrs. Courtney and
her guests were grouped on the lawn—
Ifrs ladies with some dainty needle
work, Mr. Preston reading aloud to
them; Harry Kingston in his favorite
position, flat on bis back in the grass,
working at a certain problem which
W been troubling him for some days—
Which was Aggie Amberley? That
kali, stylish blonde in lilac silk, with
f-a lilies on her bosom, or this grace
lot, dark-haired fairy in fluttering white
muslin?
"The fair-haired one for money! Bhe
looks more like a fashionable beauty, as
Jhn Preston said the heiress was. Not
that charming little gypsy. Providence
would never bestow a fortune on a girl
with such a bewitching face. It would
ke too much partiality. But she don't
ock much like a poor relation either.
give a good deal to hear one of those
pong ladies call the other by her Chris
tfca same."
■aid the fair Mist Amberley: " Aggie,
hove you a needleful of violet silk?"
•aid the dark Miss Ambeley. " No,
but I can get you some from up-
Horry fairly gasped,
later be learned that the blonde was
eoflod Agnes and the brunette Agatha.
Then he began to notioe that Miss
Agatha dressed more simply than her
senate and that she was always ready
lo offer small services which the other
accepted calmly. And one day the
yoomg lady expressed it as her opinion
Wat riches must be a great burden, al-
Aaogh, to be sure, Cousin Aggie had
■Mb a mind for finances! But for her
part, she hoped no one would save her
* tortane.
This was said in a confidential way,
with! her great eyes looking earnestly
into his.
" And what eyes the little thing has,"
thought Kingston," they look a fellow's
heart right out of his body."
After that Kingnton considered his
first problem very happily solved. An
other had taken its place. How much
money was necessary for the luxury of
marriage? Jim Preston was courting
Miss Agnes Amberley without any at
tempt at disguise. Perhaps his exam
ple was a little bit infectious. At all
events Kingston and Miss Agatha were
thrown much together, and their con
fidential talks increased in number and
interest. On the last day ol Kingston's
visit he took a farewell Btroll with
Agatha. They stopped on a little rustic
bridge thrown over a hollow. They
were telling each other their first im
pressions.
" So you thought my cousing looked
as if she was born in the purple. And
pray what did you think of me?"
" You'll be angry."
"Oh, no, I won't.
" Well, then, I said to myself, ' What
a dear little gipsy.'"
Ol course Miss Amberley was not
angry. She had said she would not be,
but she struck her hand hard against
the rough woodwook.
"Take care, you will hurt yourself.
And now, may I ask your first opinion
of me?"
" I though—that is, I said to rayscl
—'There is a man I shall just enjoy
making a fool of,'" she answered, spite
fully. "Oh!"
She had run a great splinter into her
hand. It was very painful. Harry
worked forgivingly to get it out. Just
as he succeeded. Miss Amberley turned
alarmingly white and murmured :
" Don't be frightened—how foolish I
am—l feel like —" And but for his
arm she would have fallen.
Kingston was too much bewildered to
do anything but hold her tight and
cover the wounded hand with kisses.
Strange to say, this pecular method
of reviving a young lady succeeded.
She opened her eyes and the color re
turned to her face.
"Mr. Kingston!" pulling her hand
away.
" Oh, it you wanted to make a fool of
me," he said, gloomily, " you have en
tirely succeeded. I love you!"
He expected her to draw herself
coldly from his hold, but sbe did not.
She seemed quite contented where she
was, only a rosy glow overspread her
face, and she whispered;
" Are you sure—very sure?"
" I wish I was as sure of my eternal
salvation!"
"Oh. Harry! No, you must not do
that! Do you love me enough not to
care whether I am rich or poor?"
"Ten thousand times Yes!"
"And—and you want me for your
wife anyhow?"
" Of course I do."
"Then take me! You may kiss me
now, Harry."
Ana he did.
"Of course it makes no difference to
you," said the young lady, presently;
"but you have offered yourself to the
rich Miss Amberley. You needn't
start so. You can't throw me over
now, sir."
For a moment that was just what
Harry thought of doing, but the quick
tears in his companion's eyes brought
him to his senses.
Voices balow. Mr. Preston passed
through the ravine in company with the
other Miss Amberley. He was holding
the young lady's hand, and her stately
composure seemed for once somewhat
ru filed.
" No more of this, Mr. Preston," she
exclaimed, in an agitated voice. "It is
right I should tell you it was my
cousin's whim to contuse our identity.
You doubtless think you arc addressing
Miss Amberley, the heiress—"
" Not at all," interrupted Preston.
"I have known the truth all along.
It is only Kingston who is deceived,
and if that is ail the defence you can
make—"
The pair passed out of sight.
"It is ioo funnyT' declared Agatha
leaning on her lover's shoulder to laugh.
" That will be a match, too.'-
And it was. And the following win
ter the two Miss Amberley's passed out
of existence, but Mrs. Harry Kingston
and Mr*. James Preston became the
belles of the season.
The Termites.
In the hotter parts of the world, the
wood-devouring insects are more than
mere annoyances in houses, the most
dreaded of them all being the termites
or white ants. They will devour every
piece of woodwork in the house. They
find their way into beams, and eat the
whole of the wood, with the xoeplion
of a shell scarcely thicker than the
paper on which this narrative is printed.
They will attack a table, eating their
way through the floor into the legs, and
hollowing it so that on leaning npon
the table, apparently sound as it is, it
breaks down and crumbles into a heap
of dusty fragments. They have even
been known to get into a garden and
hollow out the pea-sticks, so that the
first wind blew them down, together
with their burden. If they find their
way into boxes in which papers are
kept, they will devour almost the whole
of every bundle, leaving nothing but
tbe uppermost sheet and the edges of
the others. So in the dwellings of
civilized man they are an unmitigated
pest. But it must be remembered that
the house-beams, furniture and docu
ments are not the normal rood of tbe
termites, which existed for ages before
man built houses, made furniture or
documents.— Good Words.

There is much refuse fat from the

where soap is made it will all be used in
that way, but it is a question whether it
is not much easier and more profitable

The following recipe to destroy cab
bage worms is said to be effectual: One
pound of whale oil soap dissolved in
six gallons of soft water, and applied
thoroughly several times during the

and apply this to the cabbage, wetting
the inside of the same thoroughly with

There is the good and the poor way
of preparing the ground for the recep

the fall. The large average yield of the
wheat crop of England is due in a great
measure to the great care taken to pre

the wheat plant before the grain is
sown. The fields that are imperfectly
plowed and indifferently harrowed are
far too common with us, and until the
soil is made deep and mellow by
thorough'tillage, all the manure and
artificial fertilizers we may .apply will
not bring Jtbe {yield of our fail sown
crops to the most profitable point. A
little [extra work in preparation will
many times bring a large margin of
profit when it comes to gather the har

just the thing, and preserve tiiem beau

this is the case a few bushels of stone
lime should be used. Sliding shelves,
six inches apart, latticed bottom, with
a single layer of fruit, are extremely
convenient, as they allow of constant
examination without disturbing the
fruit.

Mr. L. M. Lawson, a New York
hanker, who returned recently from a
visit to New Mexioo, describes a visit to
the village of Rial de Dolores, which he
says approaches nearer to the city whose
streets are paved with gold than any
spot in this country. He saw some men
tearing down one of the adobe houses,
and by request they washed out one of
the bricks of clay and straw. The re
sult was 96 in gold. Mr. Lawson's
guide, whose name was Jesus, to illus
trate the abundance of gold in the coun
try, dug some earth from the village
street, and washing It out. developed
specks of gold. The same experiment
was tried near the village, in a spot
chosen at random, and gold was again
obtained. There is a scarcity of water
in the country, which operates to dis
courage luininr, but the trsveler sees
abundant evidence of the mineral wealth
of the country.

The manufacture of the common clay
pipe is an Industry ol which dew of our
readers have any adequate conception.
There is nothing about the homely
" Irish meerschaum " which would sug
gest the idea of invention or manufac
ture. True, we sec more or less of these
pipes every day, perhaps, and yet we
seldom, if ever, think how they are
made. All the clay pipes used in this
country were formerly imported from
Germany, but they are now made in the
United States in large numbers. A Clin
ton (N. Y.) Courier correspondent has
been visiting a clay pipe manufactory at
Durhamville, N. Y., and gives an ac
count of the pipes, and how they are
made. He says:
The foreman took us down cellar and
showed ns a pile of the crude clay, which
comes from New Jersey. It had the
appearance of water lime, although
more " lumpy." The crude clay is first
placed in a large mill and ground, by
horse power, like paint. It is then put
in large tubs to Boak until it is wanted
by the workmen. When thus prepared
it has the appearance of putty, though
darker in color and firmer in texture.
We then passed to the molding room,
where there were nine young men at
work, seated at tables,! where they
rolled the clay dexterously on the table
with their hands until it assumed
the shape of a long roil with a large
" nub" on one end. The men then run
a wire through the stem part and place
•lie clay, with the wire left in the stem,
into a greased mold, the inside of which
is the shape of the pipe to be made.
These molds arc sometimes ornamented,
when fancy pipes,! are wanted. The
molds are now [quickiy passed into a
kind of press, which is supplied with a
small, round iron, which punches out
the clay and makes the " bowl" ol the
pipe. The pipes in this shape are very
brittle, and are laid aside for a day or
so to harden or season. The hands in
this factory all work by the " piece,"
and get eighteen cents per gross for
straight stem pipes and twenty cents
for crooked. Kach man will make
2,(100 pipes per day, giving the factory a
product of 18.000 per day. When the
pipes are sufficiently seasoned, they are
taken to another room, where there are
nine girls at work, who scrape the ridges
on the stem where the mold shnts to
gether. This is called " finishing." The
girls get five cents per gross, and make
good wages at that. The pipes, after
another short seasoning, are packed
carefully in round fire-pots, or "sag
gers," about the size of a eheese box,
and holding two and a half gross each,
and are then ready for the kiln. The
kiln holds 131 of these saggers, and is
lighted only once a week, burning twelve
hours at a time. After coming from the
kiln, they arc then packed in square
boxes and shipped by wholesale only
to all parts of the country. This firm
makes some different styles of clay
pipes, including a few varieties of red
clav.

France, for throwing vitriol into the

The passionate eloquence of the great
Parisian barrister, Mattre
writes a French correspondent, com
pletely cleared all preconceived notions
Irom the minds of the honest pennants
forming the jury. After deliberating
for only five minutes they returned with
a verdict of not guilty, which the fore
man delivered in a voice full of emo

which are to be witnessed only in and
around a French court when a prisoner
lias been torn from the binds of the law
by the eloquence of a popular advocate.
The audience gave itself up to enthu
siastic applause, and joy beamed on
every face. After the president had
ordered the .mmediate release of the
accused the oounless was surrounded
and kissed by her many relatives. On
leaving the court she embraced Maitrc
lacbaud, warmly thanking him for his
able defense. Outside the building the
crowd uncovered when Madame de

"Vive Madame de Tilly!" was beard.
Maitre Lachaud was vigorously cheered
as he left the building.

Trick law.
A New York newspaper says: Doe
tor F. 8. Billings has recently written
a highly interesting paper on trichina
in hogs and in Iman. From this it
would seem that this disease, which
most Americans consider as peculiar u>
Germany, is in reality much more pre
valent in this country than elsewhere.
For example, from an examination of
several thousand hogs sent frurn vari
ous parts of the West, Doctor Billings
found that on an average one in eighteen
of them was diseased in this way; whl.e
out of nearly two million hogs examined
in German; in eight hundred only
were found tricbinous. That this djv
ease is notoftener communicated to rnaa
in this country, is wholly due to the fact
that pork is rnrc.y eaten here until it u,
cooked. If we were in the habit of i\u
ing uncooked smoked pork, in ham or
sausage, as it is commonly eaten in
Germany, the number of deaths that
would be caused by trichina: would bt
alarmingly large. The parasites are so
small that their presence can only h*
detected by a microscope, and it is esti
mated that in eating what would be the
ordinary meal of a man, of diseaw-d
pork, it would be easy to take into the
stomach not less than one million
triahinn. Doctor Tbudichum, in re
porting to the English privy council,
describes the symptoms of trichiniaeis
in man as follows: "Sudden swelling
|of the face, particularly the eyelids,
after the patient has for some days felt
prostrate and has lost his appetite (this
swelling causes a feeling of tension, hut
I no pain); fever, with a quick pulse aid
I copious perspiration; the muscles are
1 swelled and give great pain when moved
lor touched. In worse cases the entire
body Is immovable and sensitive; th< r*
is diarrhea, with a red, somewi.at
j covered tongue, inclining to drjri'*>-.
When the swelling in the face has sub
sided (edema of the feet, legs, and
thighs come on; shortly after anassir'-a.
swelling over the trunk, makes its ap
pearance." Although these are the
phenomina the disease itself exhibits,
it is the opinion of experts that the
I muscles of many people, in numbers in
j sufficient to produce material troub.e,
i Certain it is that in several surgical
j cases ol iate their presence has been dis
! covered. Doctor Billings asserts that
| the surest way to prevent them Is to
have the pork before being cooked, cut
jin relatively thin slices. Frying and
i boiling are the most effective means of
j destroying them; roasting comes next,
j Boiling coagulates the albumen on tbe
; outer surface, and allows the heat to
j penetrate less readily, and for this rea-
I son large pieces of meat should fe boiled
for at least two hours.
J Dries and Judge,.
The following curious tacts are mx-
J tioned in a recent lecture by Chief Jus
tice Uorton, of Kansas, before the
Au bison Institute:
Four hundred years ago, at least, the
present jury system was adopted. An
j old tract says tbe jury of twelve w.v
i adopted because the prophets vve
j twelve; the apostles numbered tw< ve.
there were twelve Jewish judges,
| twelve pillars of tbe temple, twelve
j patriarchs, twelve tribes ol Isrse..
! twelve stones in Aaron's breast-plate,
j twelve gates of Jerusalem, twelve
months of the year, and twelve signs in
the zodiac. In all times the number
1 twelve has been regarded as an impor
