Mrs. Esdailc, of the Lindens, Birehespool,
vras a lady of quite remarkable scientific at
tainments. As honorary secretary of the
ladies' branch of the local Eclectic Soejety
she shone with a never-failing brilliance.
It was even whispered that on the occasion
of the delivery of Prof. Tomlinson'. sug
gestive lecture "On the Perigcnesis of the
Plastidule" she vras the only woman in the
room who could follow the lecturer ev en as
far as the end of his title. In the seclusion
of the Lindens she supported Darwin,
laughed at Mi vert, doubted Haeckel and
shcok her head at Wci&smnn, with a famil
iarity -which made her the admiration of the
university professors and the terror of the
few students who ventured to cross her
learned hut hospitable threshold. Mrs.
Esdaile had, of couri-e, detractors. It is
the privilege of exceptional merit. There
were bitter feminine whispers as to
the cramming from encyclopaedias
and t"i.t books which preceded each
learned meeting, and a to the
care with which in her own Iiouji the con
versation was artfullv confined to those
particithir channels with which the hostess
was familiar. Tales that were, too, of bril
liant speeches written out in some mascu
line hand, which had been committed to
memory bv the ambitious! lady, and had
afterward nashed out as extempore elucida
tions of some dark, half-explored corner of
modern science. It was even said that these
little blocks of information tot jumbled up
occasionally in their bearer's mind, so that
after an entomological lecture she would
bur&t into a geological harangue, or -wee
versa, to the great confusion of her
audience. So ran the gossip of the mali
tious, but those who knew her best were
agreed tliat she was a a cry charming and
clever little person.
It would huv c been a strange thing had
Mrs. Esdaile not been popular among local
scientists, for her pretty house, her charm
ing gronnds and all the hospitality which an
income of 2.000 a year will admit of, were
. always at their command. On her pleasant
lawns in the summer, and round her draw
ing room fire in the winter, thcr? was much
high talk of microbes and leucocytes and
MerilUed bacteria, where thin, ascetic ma
terialists from the university upheld the
importance of this life against round, com
fortable champions of orthodoxy from the
Cathedral Close. And in the heat of
thrust and parr j , when scientific proof ran
full tilt against inflexible faith, a word from
the clev er widow, or an opportune rattle
over the keys by her pretty daughter Kose,
would bring all back to harmonyonce more.
llose Esdaile had just passed her 20th
v car, and v as looked upon as one of the
itciutict of BirchespooL Her face was,
perhaps, a trifle long for perfect symmetry,
but her eyes were fine, her expression
kindly, and her complexion beautiluL It
was an open secict, too, that she had under
her father's will 500 a year in her own
rieht. "With such advantages a far plainer
girl than llos j Esdaile might create a stir in
the society of a pro ineial town.
A scientific conversazione in a private
house is an onerous thing to organize,
vet mother and daughter had not
shrunk from the task. On the morning
"of which I writ", they sat together, sur
veying their accomplished labors, with the
pleasant feeling that nothing remained to be
cone save to reoci -e the congratulations of
their friends AVith the assistance of Iiupert,
the son of the house, they had assembled
from all parts of Birehespool objects of
scientific interest, which now adorned the
long tables in the drawing loom. Indeed,
the full tide of curiosities of everv sort
which had swelled into the house had over
flowed the rooma de-oted to the meeting,
and had surged down the broad stairs to in
vade the dining room and the passage. The
vhole villa had becomeamuseunu Specimens

Kind other such trophies adorned the tables
upon which the two ladies gazed that
morning.
"You've really managed it splendidlv,
ma," said the young lady, craning her neck
up to give her mother a congratulatory
kiss. "It was so brave of yon to undertake
it."
"I think that it will do," ptt.-rcd Mrs. Es
daile complacently "But I da hope that
the phonograph w"ill work without a hitch.
You know at the last meeting of the British
Association I got Prof. Standenon to repeat
into it his remarks on the life history ot the
Jledusiform Gonophore."
"How funny it seems," exclaimed Bose,
glancing at the square box-like apparatus,
which stood in the post of honor on the cen
tral table, "to think that this wood and
metal will begin to speak just like a human
being."
''Hardly tliat, dear. Of course the poor
thingcan say nothing except what is said to
it. You alw ays know exactly what is com
ing. But I do hope tliat it "will work all
right"
'Rupert will sec to it when he comes up
from the carden. He understands all about
them. Oh, ma, I feel so nervous."
Mrs. Esdaile looked anxiously down at
her daughter, and passed her hand caress
ingly over her rich brown hair. "I under
stand," she said, in her soothing, cooing
voice, "I understand."
"He will expect an answer to-night, ma."
"Follow your heart, child. lam sure
that I have every confidence jn your good
tense and disci etion. I would not dictate
to you upon such a matter "
"You are so good, ma. Of course, as Ku
pert says, we really know very little of
Charles of Captain Bccsly. But then, ina,
all that we do knov is in his favor."
"Quite so, dear. He is musical, and vrell
informcd;taud good-humored, and certainly
extremely handsome. It is clear, too, from
what he says, that he has moved in the very
liighest circles."
"The best in India, ma. He was an inti
mate friend of the Governor-General's.
You heard yourself what ho said yesterday
nbout the D'Arcies, and Lady Gwendoline
Fairfax and Lord Montague Grosvenor."
"Well, dear," said Mrs. Esdaile resign
edly, "you are old enough to know your
own mind. I shall not attempt to dictate to
j ou. I own that my ow n hopes were set
upon Prof. Stares."
"Oh, ma, think how dreadfully ugly he
is."
"But think of his reputation, dcar..Little
more than SO, and a, member of the Royal
Societv."
"I couldn't ma. I don't think.I could, if
mere was not anotner man in tne world.
xJBut, oh, I do feel so nervous; for you can't
thh?k how earnest he is. I must give him
an answer to-night. But they will be here
in an hour. Don't you think that we had
better go to our rooms?"
The two ladies had risen, when there
came a quick masculine step upou the stairs,
and a brisk young fellow, with curly black
hair, dashed into the room.
' "All ready?" he asked, running his eyes
over the lines of relic-strewn tables.
"All ready, dear," answered his mother.
"Oh, I am glad to catch yon together,"
taid he, with his hands buried deeply in his
trouser pockets, and an uneasy expression
tin Ms face. "There's one thing that I
wanted to speak to you about. Look, here,
Jiodc, a bit of fun is all very well,. but you
wouldu't be such a little donkey to think
seriously of this fellow Beesly?"
"Mv dear Rupert, do try to be a little
less aorupt," taid Mrs. Esdaile, with a de
precating hand outstretched.
"I can't help seeing how they have been
thrown together.' I don't want to be unkind,
Rosie; but I can't stand by and see you
wreck your life for a man who has nothing
to recommend him but his eyes and his
mustache. Do be a .sensible girl, Rosie,
and have nothing to say to him."
"It is Eurely a point," Rupert, upon which
I am more fitted to decide than vou can be,"
remarked Mrs. Esdaile, with dfgnity.
"So matter, for I have been "able to
make some inquiries. Young Cheffington,
of the Gunners, knew him in India, He
says "
But his sister broke in upon his revela
tions. "I won't stay here, ma, to hear him
slandered behind his back," she cried, with
spirit. "He has never said anything tliat
was not kind of you, Rupert, and I don't
know why you should attack him so. It is
cruel, unbrotherly." "With a sweep and a
whist sue was "at the door, her cheek
flushed, her eves sparkling, her bosom
heaving with this little spurt of indigna
tion, while close at her heels walked her
mother with soothing1 words, and an angry
glance thrown back over her shoulder.
Rupert Esdaile stood with his hands bur
row'jig deeper and deeper into his pockets
and his shoulders rising higher and higher
to his cars, feeling intensely guilty, ana yet
not certain whether he should blame him
self for having said too much or for not hav
ing said enough.
Just in front of him stood the table on
which the phonograph.with wires, batteries
and all complete, stood ready for the guests
whom it was to amuse. Slowly his hands
emerged" from his pockets as his eye fell
upon the apparatus, and with languid curi
osity he completed the connection, and
started the machine. A pompous, husky

sound, as of-a man clearing his throat pro
ceeded from the instrument, and then in
high, piping tones, thin but distinct, the
commencement of the celebrated scientist's
lecture. "Of all the interesting problems,"
remarked the box, "which are offered to us
by recent researches in the lower orders
of marine life, there is none to exceed
the retrograde metamorphosis which char
acterizes the common barnacle. The differ
entiation of an amorphous protoplasmic
mass " Here Rupert Esdaile broke the
connection again, and the funny little
tinkling voice ceased as suddenly as it be
gan. The young man stood smiling, looking
down at this garrulous piece of wood and
metal, when suddenlv the smile broadened,
and a light of mischief danced up into his
eyes. He slapped his thigh, and danced
round in the ecstasy of one who has stumbled
on a brand-new brilliant idea. "Very care
fully he drew forth the slips of metal which
recorded the learned professor's remarks,
and laid them aside for future use. Into
the slots he thrust virgin plates, all ready
to receive an impression, and then, bearing
the phonograph under his arm, he vanished
into liis own sanctum. Five minutes before
the first guests had arrived the machine was
back upon the table, and all ready for use.
There could be no question of "the success
of Mrs. Esdaile's conversazione. From
first to last everything went admirably.
People stared through microscopes, and
linked hands for electric shocks', and mar
velled at the Gallapagos turtle, the os fron
tis of the Bos montis, and all the other cur
iosities which Mrs. Esdaile had token such
pains to collect Groups formed and chat
ted round the various cases. The Dean of
Birehespool listened with a protesting lip,
wliile Prof. Maunders 'held forth upon a
square of triassic rock, with side thrusts
occasionally at the &ix days of ortho
dox creation; a knot of specialists dis
puted over a stuffed ornithorhynchus
in a comer; while Mrs. Esdaile
swept from group to group, intro
ducing, congratulating, laughing, with the
ready, graceful tact of a clever woman of
the world. By the window sat the heavily
mustached Captain Beesly, with the daugh
ter of the house, and they discussed a prob
lem of their own, as old as the triassic rock,
and perhaps as little understood.
"But I must re illy go and help my mother
to entertain, Captain Beesly," said Rose at
last, with a little movement, as if to rise.
"Don't go, Rose. And don't call me
Captain Beesly; call me Charles. No now!"
"Well, then, Charles."
"How prettily it sounds from your lipsl
No, now, don't go. I can't bear to be away
from you. I had heard of love, Rose; but
how strange it seems that I, after
spending my- life amid all that is
sparkling and gay, should only find out
now, in this little provincial town, what
love really is!"
"You say so; but it is only a passing
fancy."
"iLo, indeed. I shall never leave you,
Rose never, unless you drive me away
from your side. And "you would not be so
cruel you would not break my heart?"
He had very plaintive, blue eyes, and
there was such a depth of sorrow in them as
he spoke that Rose could have wept for
sympathy.
"I should be very sorry to cause you
grief in anyway," she said, in a faltering
tone.
"Then promise " v
"No, no; we cannot speak of it just niw,
and they are collecting round the phono-

graph. Do come and listen to it. It, is so
funny. Have vou ever heard one?"
"Never."
"It will amuse you immensely. Andl
am sure that vou would never guess what it
is going to talk about."
"What then?"
"Oh, I won't tell you. You shall hear.
Let us have these chairs by the open door;
it is so nice and cool."
The company had formed -an expectant
circle round the instrument. There was a
subdued hush as Rupert Esdaile made the
connection, while his mother waved hor
white hand slowly from left to right to
mark the cadence of the sonorous address
which was to break upon their ears.
"How about Lucy Araminta Penny
feather?" cried a squeaky little voice. There
was a rustle and a titter among the audi
ence. Rupert glanced across at Captain
Beesly. He saw .a drooping jaw, two pro
truding eyes, and a face the color of cheese.
"How about little Martha Hovedean, of
the Kensal Choir Union?" cried the piping
voice. '
Louder still rose the titters. Mrs.
Esdaile stared about her in bewilderment.
Rose burst out laughing, and the Captain's
jaw drooped lower still, with a tinge of
green upon the cheese-like face.
"Who was it who ma tne ace in the artil
lery cardroom at Peshawur? Who was it
who was broke in consequence? Who was
it ?"
"G6od gracious'" cried Mrs. Esdaile,
"what nonsense is this? The machine is
out of order. Stop it, Rupert These are
not the professor's remarks. But, dear me,
where is our friend Captain Beesly gone?"
"I am afraid that he is not very well,
ma," said Rose. "He rushed out of the
room."
"There can't be much the matter," quoth
Rupert "There he goes, cutting down the
avenue as fast as his legs will carry him.
I do not think, somehow, that we shall see
the Captain again. But I must really
apologize. I have put in the wrong slips.
These,! I fancy, are those which belong to
Prof. Standerton's lecture."
Rose Esdaile has become Rose Staresaow,
and her husband is one oi the most rising
scientists in the provinces. No doubt she
is proud of his intellect and of his growing
fame, but there arc times when she still
gives a thought to the blue-eyed captain,
and marvels at the strange and sudden man
ner in which he deserted her. Strand Maya

TWO METHODS TAKING MONET.
It Is Unwise to Encnmher Oneeelf With Ex
cessive Baggage.
TIIE MATTER OP TOILETS AND DRESS
The pleasure of a trip abroad is enhanced
by a little preparatory work, by a knowl
edge of what you want to do and to see, and
a careful counting of what you can afford;
in fact, by a definite and intelligent plan.
As money is to play an important part,
writes Annie R. Ramsey in the Touih't
Companion, perhaps it may be well to lay
down the general rule that, while 57 a day
is not an extravagant estimate for all ex
penses during a comfortable trip, ?5 a day
may be made to go almost as far, if economy
and common sense are used.
In the case of young men who can walk
a great deal, go to third or even fourth-rate
hotels, and "rough it" in many ways, this
estimate is too generous by one-half; and so
it is in the case of a traveler who does not
travel, but settles down in some quiet, out-of-the-way
city for months at a time. Bat
for the average tourist much more can be
spent if he insists upon the luxuries and
elegancies of American travel.
How to Take Money With Ton.
Money is taken abroad in several ways.
The best is buying a letter of credit, putting
into it all you can afford to spend after your
ocean passage both ways is paid for. By a
recent arrangement all bankers' charges,
exchanges and such expenses can be paid in
America Defore leaving, and if you exact it,
your money will be paid to you in English
gold or its full equivalent. Over and above
your letter of credit, you should carry about
$25 in coin for immediate use upon landing
and upon shipboard. This, too, should be
in English gold, or in the coin of the coun
try whose port you enter.
A" second method of carrying money is to
buy a Cheque Bank bookof cheques, and a
third is to procure English drafts, or even
English bank notes; but the risk of carry
ing bank notes is evident, although the
plan is perhaps the cheapest and moat con
venient, if successful.
The next important question is that of
baggage. The wise man solves this by hav
ing as little as possible. Some luggage one
must have, ana in order to make its care as
light as possible, I should advise a small
steamer trunk to hol4, all the outfit needed
for the passage. For a trifling sum it can
be left with the steamship company till you
write for it to De forwarded to the ship in
l-;-i a x
nmuii yuu are to reiuru.
Feminine Baggage to Be Carried.
In addition, if you are a w oman, make a
bag large enough to carry a dress, a cloak,
underclothes and toilet accessories, and you
will be thankful many times that you are
not hampered by a second trunk. The bag
will be carried for you everywhere for a few
pennies; you need never touch it to trans
port it, and yet, since it.goes in the carriage
with you, there will beno charge for extra
baggage. This is quite a saving in Europe,
where the largest allowance for baggage is
60 pounds a head, and where, in some coun
tries, there is no allowance at all, every
pound that goes as baggage being paid for at
costly rates.
All articles of baggage should be plainly
marked with your name and. address, leav
ing the change of destination to be shown
by tags. They should all be sent to the ship
many hours before that fixed for sailing.
You will need a steamer chair, and can get
one marked with your name and delivered
at the vessel for 52; but you can also hire
one from the Ocean Chair Company for 51,
and when the trip is over you are not
burdened with it. By far the best rule for
the European tourist is the one laid down
by experienced travelers: "The wise man
and his luggage are never parted."
The Choice, of a Steamer.
One important consideration will be the
choice of a good line of steamers, and a good
ship on that line. There are so many rivals
now, each claiming so many advantages, that
advice in this matter is hardly possible. I
can only say that if money is not plenty I
should choose an unfashionable line.
As a rule, the second-class ships of a first
class line are less crowded than their supe
riors, and this gives more deck room and
better service. You should engage your
passage early some three months ahead for
a summer trip. On the fashionable lines
you may cross "out of the season" that is,
not in Summer and you have then more
room and lower rates.
The season seems to be growing longer
each year, but the most crowded vessels go
out in June and July. During August they
are not so much crowded, ana this is a de
lightful month, with but one drawback
the prevalence of ocean fogs. Returning,
the vessels are fullest in September and
OctAer, though the weather in November
is as likely to be as fine as cither of these.
The Cost of Passage on SteamslUs.
From December to March nearly all com
panies reduce their rates, in some cases 20
per cent, and a large party buying return
tickets can matye even lower terms.
In alteteamers the prices vary with the
position of the room, and in vessels which
charge 5300 for their best rooms you will be
able to get tickets for 5150 the round trip, if
you will take something less choice. It may
be well to state that by buying return tick
ets a saving of 10 per cent is effected, and
you are not bound by them to return at any
specified time. By writing to the company's
agents, the ticket's limit may be extended;
but the writing must not be neglected, or
you may lose the money you have paid.
Berths in the center amidship of the
vessel are most desirable, and outside rooms
are preferable, since nothing can compen
sate for the lack of fresh air; but in bad
weather, when all port-holes must be closed,
the inside rooms, with their ventilators, are
most comfortable. Atall times an inside
room with one companion is better than an
outer one with threej as is generally ar
ranged for. It is no joke to try to dress
four at once in a tiny box, which, moreover,
Is entirely lacking iiall stability.
All first-class tickets entitle the holders
ta all privileges of table and deck, so the
wise man or woman will not throw away
money on the stateroom, unless very suscep
tible to sea-sickness. F"or those who desire
a Very cheap passage; there is an interme
diate or second-class cabin at rates varying
from 560 to 580 the two tripi Travelers by
this do not go to the first-class table, and
there are otten certain restrictions as to
deck liberties. However, the second cabin
is, on all good lines; clean and comforta
ble, and apart to objection to doing any
thing "second-class' there is nothing to
prevent an agreeable passage at this low
rate
Special Toilets for the Trip.
By whatever line you choose try to select
a vessel with a reputation for steadiness
and a dry deck. The first will give you
comparative freedom from sea-sickness, if
anything can, and the second will insure
you many hours of fresh air on deck.
Women will need something of a special
toilet for the trip, and as far as the voyage
Is concerned, this will consist mainly of
wraps. Take what you may of these, you
will still wish vou had taken more when
that fierce wind begins to rush through ru"s
and shawls as if they were thin paper. Tlie
ship dress should be navy blue flannel if
you happen to have an old dress of this
sort. It yon do not, use" what vou have
provided it Is dark, all wool and old for
there is no telling what may happen to it
on deck, where the brass is always being
cleaned or the paint retouched; or at the
table, where a sudden lurch may send a
waiter flying down the room only to deluge
you with the contents of tureen or gravy
Women will need a hood, or a cap with a
" SATURDAY, JUNE 6,
visor, for the deck, being careful to tie the
cap on with a veil or warm nubia. The
visor is almost indispensable to protect the
eyes from the glare on the water. You can
hold no umbrella open on the deck. In the
fierce breezes women will need a rug to hold
down their fluttering skirts. The illustra
tion (Fig. 1) gives an idea of a convenient
form tor this rug. You can make it' into a
bag by sewing it across the bottom after
having folded it as shown. Then put but
tons and button holes along 'the lapped
edges. Spreading this bag upon a steamer
chair, you cm slip into it, feet first, and but
ton it over, thus securing your feet against
cold, and your skirt against the wind.
Providing Against Sea-Sickness.
It is well for a lady to wear to the ship
the costume she intends to use as a traveling
dress, changing it for the ship dress as soon
as she arrives on board. Tie the hat up in
brown paper so that the sea air shall not
fade its colors nor uncurl its feathers, un
pack the steamer trunk and arrange its con-
plan is much wiser than leaving these
duties until one is off, when one may be too
sea-sick to attend to them. For the same
reason the steward should be seen carlv. and
a scat secured at table near the door, u pos
sible. Ladies will need, in their steamer trunks,
warm flannels, woolen bed slippers, stout
shoes and rubber overshoes for walkinc on
a wet deck a dark balmoral, a rubber bag
for hot water, some small wall pockets to be
tacked or pinned to the back of the sofa,
and a bag (Fig. 2) to hang inside the cur
tains of the berth in which to keep watch,
h'anderchief, phis, brush, scissors and such
necessities.
For travel on shore one will probably
wish to take some medicines, but tnese may
go into the second trunk or ba!j,a3 the ship s
doctor will furnish all that will be needed
on Jpoard. The only private stores I should
suggest would be mustard plasters, quinine
pellets, a little brandy, and some lemons
and oranges. For the shore, you may add
to these arnica, ammonia, and a strip of
court plaster wound around a pair of tiny
scissors. To carry these you will find a
medicine pocket, made of chamois most con
venient; tne whole to be rolled and tied
when not in use.
No Need to Cany Eatables.
Many people burden themselves with
private stores of eatables; but this is quite
unnecessary, for all the first-class lines
providegood tables, and the trouble is too
much eating rather than too little.
Fees vary with the class of patrons the
line can boast, but as a rule it is well
to give the steward and stewardess
each a good fee, say 55 to each, if your
party does not exceed four, 51 to your
waiter, and about the same to the cabin
boy and bootblack. Upon unfashionable
lines less will be sufficient, unless some un
usual service is asked.
A woman's traveling dress should be some
dark all-wool material, neatly made but
very simple. Gray is an excellent color,
and so is dark blue. To it should be added
the ever-useful blouse waist of foulard or
cotton goods, which will be needed in the
warm valleys on thecontinent; but do not
forget the flannel skirts and underwear for
the cold mountain tops.
Slippers, umbrella, ulster, overshoes and
a moderate supply of underclothing will all
go into the Dig bag, as well as a second
dress for table d'hote dinners and dress oc
casions. This last should be of .some pretty
material made "dressy" by ruchingsi at the
wrists and open neck, but It needs little or
no showy trimming. Underskirts should be
of Ceylon or wash flannels, though some
ladies use black silk ones altogether.
Sonie Miscellaneous Hints.
Do not load yourself down with under
clothing, botes of trinkets, stationery, per
fumery and the thousand knicknacks we all
love. Washing is so quickly done in Europe
that there is no need to carry large supplies
of linen, and the other things become great
burdens. I should recommend most heartily
the carrying of two pairs of stout, well
fitting American shoes, made by a careful
shoemaker. Yon will get none like them in
Europe combining comfort and beauty.
Do not be afraid to travel second-class on
the Continent and third-class in England.
In Italy alone is the first-class very much
more desirable, and in any country where
there is a fourth-class tne third is good
enough for short trips. In the matter of
guide books there is no dissenting voice in
the praises sung to Bajdaker's. They are
expensive, but are worth their price, if only
as reference books alter you get home.
However, cheaper ones will answer fairly
well, and they are in convenient form.
For sight-seeing guides in Paris, Rome
and London, Hare is almost indispensable.
He seems to.bring so much of what the best
minds have thought and seen in each object
of interest. But in everyone of these cities
yon will find some small work devoted to
the locality, at a price within the reach of
the most modest traveler.

" A Recommendation.
A few days ago, while sitting in Elder
Bros.' drug store, at Tingley, Iowa, Mr. T.
L. Dver. a well-known citizen, came in and
asked for something for a severe cold, which
he had. Air. .Elder tooK down a bottle ot
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and said:
"Here is something I can recommend. It
commands a large tale and gives genuine
satisfaction. It is on excellent preparation
and cheap." Mr. Dyer purchased a bottle,
and the next day when we saw him he said
he was much better, and the day following
appeared to be entirely restored. This is a
specimen of the effectiveness of this-preparation.

A long Chain.
It is estimated that if the crackers baked
at the big Marvin establishment every day
w ere placed in a line they would form a
chain that would reach from here to San
Francisco. And they do reach that far, tor
people all over the country realize the su
periority of Marvin's crackers, and order
them so rapidly that the big ovens can
scarcely supply the demand. Remember
that Marvin s crackers are the best and
don't buy any others. "WS
Saloonkeepers' know which beer sells
best. Hence the vast increase in the use of
Iron City Brewery's product. "A word to
the wise is sufficient."
