which Ethel wail' henceforth, to 'ibe

made her thoroughly happy, it would
have been the tender anxiety which
Mr. Woodward had shown 'that all
Rose's childish dad* should be ,
gratified. . -
Six, months of her wedding life
went by,-and .found .her at the close'

tended for nrprise presents.
"It Is soon e to-he richi.and give
soinany people , "Merry Christmas,"
Rose said', delig ) led:
Ethel never for: of one incident of
all that bright, jo . us, happy time.
For ere the New te. r's day she had
welcomed in so gayly ‘,. me to a close,
Rose lay feverish and , stless on her
couch with the . -first B mptons of
what proved to- be , a malt , . tlever.
She, had probably caught It . , ' some

Night and day Ethel watch - by

Nor was that' all. \Mr. Wr, ward

Rose was buried.. Ethel came home
from .the grave where her sweetest
hopes perished to take her place. as
watcher by another sick bed. - \Not i
for long ;the fever made More raid
progress here. In less than a week,
the strong man was 'a corpse, and"i
Ethel, utterly crushed by this new'
blow, was-left alone in the ivorld. •
Alone to meet poverty no les4

made no will since his inarriage. Au

scruplesin . taking from the young
Widow all that the law allowed, even
though it left, her nearly penniless. ,
So from the elegant house with its
luxurleas ap pointments, Ethel went
back to one small room, simply (urn- i
ished with what 'little she could
honestly call her own. Here, alone,
,desparing, she took up the burden of
life again,' and -recommenced her old
routine of daily labor., . ' -
She came home one evening More

'A , gentleman,' tall, brown and

THE LUXURY Of ;OLD. W,ATER.
The plague of winter is cold, and
the plague of summer is heat, but we
can do a great' deal to, lessen the mis
eries-of both seasons. Now that we
are approaching the doh days, it may
be well to point out that by means of
a *era' use of water - one may pass
thaingb the summer furnace withqut
suffering any serious _ discomfort.
Water is good for other things be
sides the allaying of thirst. It has a
pennar.ent determination to evatio
rate, and as it cannot evaporate with
out,heat, it consequently diininishes
in the process the heat of our rooms.
Pana of water, the cooler the better,

of heat, bu the heat itself : Should 1

an improvement: To a dilute solo,
Ikm (5 to 10 per cent.) of as - pure
chloride of zinc as possible, there la c ,
added - enough sulphate of nickel to
color it strongly green. This Is heat
ed to ebullition in a percelain vessel.
The objecti, being completely clean

the liquid so • that they touch each
other as little

boiling is 'kept tip,- for from half 'an
hour to an hour,Water being froth
time added in p lace of that evaporat
ed. The nickel Is precipitated in a
brilliant white layer wherever the
surface of the object is not greasy of
rusty. The operation can be contin
ued for several hours if desired; but
the plating will not thus be - rendered
much thicker. After removing the
objects, they are washed with water
holding chalk in suspension, - , and
carefully dried. They . may, -after

When it cannot be obtained of suffi

It is not only a serious vice in itself,
but the fitiitful parent ,of numerous
other vices, so that he who becomeS,

there is not 'a profession nor, station

Many of Napoleon's great victories

Hundreds of city, merchants "and,

that, not long since a gentleman

quarter. The/latter apparentljr pur

his customer was obliged to hurry

At every station where'there \ was
