It was the luoruinj; after the party.
Outcide the magnolia blooms restled soft
ly in the breeze, and the uiarinurof the
Ukeechee River kept up its soft niouo
tone. Within the great echoing hall Lilias
Lejeune lay, her hands interlocked under
her Lead, the gorgeous, striped Afghans
making a proper setting to her girlish
beauty, while I.ilias Lejeuae, the elder,
her forty-year old maiden auut, sit al
Uie other end of the place, arraugiiig
kuiK'-steuitued roses in a quaint Ouiari
vat, with dragun handles, and throat
splashed with Itie delicious blue tint so
dear to connoisseurs.
Lilias "Lill," they called her, to dis
tinguish her from Mits Lejeune, the elder
was a roseoud of seventeen. Miss
Lilias, on the contrary, was a rose in full
bloom.
"1 do think," said Lill, smothering an
incipient yawn, "that Colonel Mainwar
ing was the handsomest man here last
nifcht, for all of his live-and-forty years."
Lilias shrugged her shoulders.
"You joiiug people are so iutelewnt,"
said she. "You taik of Colonel Main-
waring as if he were a second Methu
selah :'
"Rut five-and-forty its almost forty 1"
said Lill. "Some people are horned at
fifty. He isn't though. I wonder, Auut
Lilias, why he never married !'
Miss Lejeune rose.
"I haven't half enough of these Glory
of Dijon roses," siid shev "I must go
down and gather some more.
"But it's so warm V pleaded Lill.
"it's shady down in the rose garden."
Lill looked sleepily alter the light, re
treating figure.
"I wonder if it's true," said she "that
Coionel Mainwaring was in love with
Aunt Lilias years and years ago before
he went to InJia? How funny, to think
that they were lovers twenty years ago!
Rut Colonel Mainwaring will make a
royal lover for souieoody yeL I a'n
not certain but that I'll try for him
myself."
And Lill drifted into dimpled slumber.
While Lilias I.ijeune clipping away
among the glossy leaved vines with her
rose scissors, was utterly reckless hether
she cut flower, stouts or staiks.
"Why does he come back here to haunt
me?" she asked herself, with restlessly
shining eyes. "I had schooled myself to
forget him. Why did he not stay where
Uewaa? One thing is very certain : He
shall not again have the chance to jilt
me."
Just then a little wooly patel picanin
ny came running to Ler
"Please, Miss Lilias," he cried, "Miss
Dally Warden wants to see you! Miss
Dally she's pow'ful bad to-day."
Lilias gave a little shudder.
Dallette Waiden was the overseer's
daughter, a woman of about her age, who
was dying of consumption. She did not
like Daily, andnever Lad liked her, but
how was it possible to refuse a dying re
quest like this.
"I will come," she answered, shortly.
Dally sat propped up among her pil
lows, her pallid face lighted up with the
shine of her great fevered eyes.
She had once been very prelty ; she
had an interesting countenance still.
"It's very condescending of Miss Le
jeune to come to visit the poor overseer's
daughter," she siad ironically.
Rut Lilias ignore! the tcne.
"Is there anything I can do for you,
Dally ?' she asked, gentiy.
"No," flashed the girl, there's nothing
anybody can do for me any more ! But
I'd like you to understand one or two
things Miss Ljeune, before, it is too
late."
Lilias looked puzzled.
"Yon and I have been rivals always,'
said Dally. "Oh you may pretend not to
know it! That amazed look of yours is
excellent acting, but it don't impose on
me. You were afraid that Edgar Main
waring would like me better than he lik
ed you, and that night you gave the grand
party at the Hall you didn't ask me. You
said it wasn't fitting that the overseer's
daughter should be invited to mingle
ith all the grandees of the county. Oh .'
you were fine aa I haughty in thoje days !
But you never dreamed that the poor
overseer's daughter could make or mar
your fate for you. Wben Mr. Mainwar
ing went to India he wasn't s colonel
in ttiose days, and your father, the judge
didn't thiuk him good enough to tie your
dainty shoe ribbons for you, grand lady
that you were was it lo yon that he
wrote or to Dally Warden the overseer's
daughter? Look at that set of ivory
chessman on the shelf. That came (goal
Bdrrampore. Look at that tiger skin on
the floor, all black and gold, with head
erect, ss if it would spring at you. That
was from the jangies of Ardpootra. He
sent those to Dally Warden, not to Miss
L?jnene. And I saw yoo looking paler
and sader day by day, and I was reveng
ed." Lilias had drawn back; she had red
dened at first and then gron pale.
"Is that what you wanted to say to
me?"
"Isn't it enough?" insolently retorted
the consumptive, an evil smile wreath
ing her Hps.
ESTABLISHKD 1HU7.
WEDNESDAY, SEPTE3.IBER 0. 1893.
"Too much," shuddered Mis Lejeune.
"I am sorry, Dally, that yon entertain
such vindictive feelings toward me. I
never intended to wound yon."
"Oh, it don't matter!" sid Dally, I'm
revenged that is all. I've lived to see
the proud Miss Lejeane a broken heart
ed woman. Now, so far as I know, there's
nothing ieft to live for, and I'm ready to
go."
And Miss Lejeune's last impression of
Dally Warden was that of small exult
ant eyes, like those of a serpent a yellow-tressed
head draw n back, cobra ca
pei la fashion, and such a sinister smile
as Lucrezia Borgia might have smiled.
That was the last time she ever sar
Dally Warden alive. The poor girl died
that night.
"Please, Miaa Litis," said old Judith,
the pur blind caok, who lived near the
oveiseer's cottage, "dey say, Miss Daily
she done wanted yo' to have de tiger
skin wid de green-glans eyes for yo' bed
rioai llo. Lef it you by her w ill."
"I don't want it," said Lilias L"jeune,
shrinking, "You may have it, Judy."
"Tankee.missi t'uekee, mighty much !
said the old woman, gleefully, displaying
herstumps of yelljw teeth. '"Old Judy'U
be as fine as a tiddler with dat tierer skin
on her caoin llo' w ill so."
She called Lilias triumphantly into
her little habitation the next day to dis
play the new treasure. With a ponder
ous pair of silver spectacles perched on
j her nose and an old j ickknife she was
ripping olf the lining.
"Cl'ar ett up by de tnohts, Miss Lilias,"
she declared. "I'll hab to get it reclined,
'fore it can be fa'rly decent. Yo' can
read, Miss Lilias can't yo'? But ole Judy
she never had no education. And her's
a lot o' writ paper sheets tucked in be
tween de linin' an' de skin hese'l like as
dough dey was quilted in. Wba' does

one w ord of answer letters whose faded
ink and dry, rustling paper took oue
back nearly a quarter of a century.
"I have sent these to Dailette Ward

me your father is veheaiently opposed to
my suit and will receive no correpiiud
ence. She proniucs to forward your an
swer, if ever you deign me one. If not,
I shall, of course accept your silence as a
sullicient doom."
And all these letters had been opened
and mercilessly perused by Daily, the
overseer's daughter, then hidden aaay
beneath the snarling teeth, the cruel
green glass eyes of the mn eating tiger
of Ardpootra. Tnus had Bhe nursed her
revenge.
Lilias drew a long si .rn.
"I l'il take these papers, Aunt Judith,"
said she. ' They they are interesting
to no one but me."
' Tankee, Miss Lilias," said the old
crone, contentedly stroking the spotted
gorgeousness of the tiger skin.
Colonel Mainwaring was coming slow
ly up from the Okeechee, his jointed
fi-hing rod Hung over his shoulder, his
eyes fixed gravely on the violet dotted
gras at his feet, when the lloweriug
branches of the glen were parted, anl a
tall, slight figure in whites stood before
him.
"Miss Ljeune?" he exclaimed.
'Colonel Mainwat iug '!"
"He looked as well he might su

She took all tier womanly conrage in
her hand and ppoke out what was in her
heart.
"Will you look at these letters that are
in my hand?" she said. "They were
written, as it sirem, to me, but they never
reached me until now."
And then in a low voice she related
the w hole story.
He looked intently at her.
"You are going to give them back lo
me?" he asked.
"No; I am going to keep them."
"You have not answered them."
"I have never had the opportunity."
"Lilias, will yoa answer them now?"
"Yes, Colonel Mainwaring."
"And what isthi answer to be?"
"It is to be 'Yes!'"
Sj the tiger of tho A rdpDotra jungles
had yielded up the secret, and the long
parted lovers were reuni'ed at last in
spite of Daliette Warden's treachery.
"And he's just as much in love with

Lill. "And I'd almost made np my

Light Shoes for Horses.

with well shaped upright feet shr.oid

pound each and the bind oner. 12 ounces,
according to The American Agricultanst,
which makes the followinsjcomputa'uoa :
If four ounces ars added to each sho;, let

In plowing, cultivating awl many other
farm operations a horse w ill walk ."rom
10 to 20 miles a day and ac.vanre a xmt
four fiet at a step. AS. each step the
horse lifts half s pound extra on its two
feet, or COS pounds in every mile. In a
day's work of lor miles the horse would
lift G,fJ0 pounds extra, or nearly fi ve
torts. If the force required to lift this
five tons of iron could be exp ended in tl ie
work the horse is doing, much mo.-

The Happiest Woman.
The following contains much of good
sense and can not be too strongly im
pressed on the minds of many persons:
It is an unlucky thin; for the ameni
ties of home when the daughters are so
strongly disposed to leave the ordinary
walks of every-day feminine duty. The
happiest women are those who can lead
the ordinary life, be amused by society,
dress and conventionalities, and who can
be early married to the man of their
choice, and become in their turn domes
tic women, wives and mothers.
There is no other work, no matter how
distinguished, which equals this. But if
this life does not come to woman, and
csrtainly it does not come to a very large
number, there can lie no doubt of the
propriety of a woman's finding her ow n
sphere, her own work and her happiest,
and most energetic usefuluess.
Anything can be forgotten of a woman
except a career of vice or vanity, or the
wretched numbness of inaction. No
woman should insult her Maker by sup
posing He made a mistake in making her.
No morbid.or useless woman was contem
plated in the great plan of the universe,
e has always a tphere. If home is
enhanpy beyond her power of endur
ance, let her
io teiti-h the ori.han 1 iy to read,
Tiie orphan g:n ui sew.
Let her learn to cook and bake bread ;
let her adopt a profrion music, possi
bly and work at it ; let her go into a
lady's school and teach ; let her keep a
boarding house, paper walls, hang pict
ures, embroider, dust, sweep, become the
manager of a business do anything but
sit down and mope, and wait for sututt
thing to turn up.
Many an unhappy pair of old maids
are dragging out a miserable existence
in a second-class boarding house, turn
ing their poor bits of finery, who n.ight
if they had been brave in their youth,
have w on a largo repertoire of thought
and a comfortable competency. But tliey
preferred to keep alive one little corner
of pride, aud that has been a poor tire
to sit by to warm their thin hands, which
should not have been ashamed to work ;
hands which would have been whiter
for honest elToft.

"And do you ever make calculations
upon the weather, like those for which
your father is so celebrated ?"
" Oh, yes" he replied leadily.
" And how do your calculations agree
with your father's?" inquired the gentle
man. " Very well, indeed," replied the young
man. " We are i ever more than one day
apart in our reckoning."
" Why thut is wonderful, certainly 1"
exclaimed the gentleman. "Only one

" Yes," said he, with a tw inkle in Lis

Three Dangerous Women.
Beware of three woman the one who
does not love children, the one who does
not love flowers and she who openly de
clares she does nut like other women.
There is something wanting in such, and
in all probability its place is supplied by
some unlovely trait.
As Shakspere says of him who has no
soul for music, such a woman is fit for
treason, strategy and spoils, and a wo
man intent on thoe is ten-thousand
times worse than any man cmiid be, for,
standing higher, she can fall lower.
Many may smile aud jest a little over
the tenderness lavnhed on a baby, but,
after all, the prattle any womanly woman
involuntarily breaks into at the sight of
the tiny beings it very sweet to mas
culine ears. It was the first langtiaf
they ever knew and in ppite of the jest
or smile, the sweetest on w ifj's or swett
h'jarts lips.
They nny langh at the little garden
tools, which eeem like playthings to their
strength ; but in their hearts they associ
ate, and rightly, purity of character and
life with the pursuit of gardening. And
a-5 fir the woman who does not care for
her own sex and boldlv avows it, she is
a coquette pure and simple, and one of
the worst and lowest tyje, too, as a gen
eral thing.
It Never Pays.
To run in debt for luxuries.
To cherish fault finding spiriL
To starve the soul to feed the body.
To marry for money or social position
To do wrong with the hopes that good

To rob the stomach to put fine clothes

To make professions that we do not in
tend to live up to.
To do in private what you would be
ashamed to do in puh'ic.
To send Ihe children into the street to

a lull. "What do yoa want?" called the
exasperated professor. " Want f stay

said the professor, " if it'll do any good,

"Miss Loveliness."
At first every passer-by in Park row
glanced curiously at the strikingly pretty
newsgirl who Hashed comet-like into
the by no means celestial orbit of the
news-iaper center of the metropolis.
& Many guesvs were hazarded as to her
nationality. She was English, Seot b,
Irish, French, German and Italian, ac
cording to the multitude of guessers who
saw her daily.
Even the sphinx, however, could not
be more reticent about its private affairs
than was this newsg'.rL Many young
man purchased papers just for the chance
it seemed to offer of starting a conversa
tion with by fur the prettUt newsgirl
that the oldest frequenter of Park row
could remember.
So the gaess-rs were disappointed in
their c (Torts to get exact information.
They were even unable to strii:e np the
most innocent kind of flirtation. The
newspaper-vending beauty attended
strictly to business.
That she was not in the leiist popular
w ith the hundreds of ragged, barefooted
and hatlexs little street Bohemians, who
also made Uie row a headquarters, for
the sale of newspapers, was quite to be
expected. "Miss Loveliness," as she
soon became to be generally styled, told
as many papers as any six of the pushing,
scrambling urchins.
tine young man, w ho passed regularly
along Park row every morning and after
noon, finally decided to lay delilierate
siege to the heart of "Miss liveliness."
Clement Barker was ass.stant cashier
in one of the big banks on lower Broad
way. Having a little private income in
addition to his salary, he was more com
fortably situated in life than are the
majarity of men who spend their time
in working lor others.
One day as he stood at his desk count
ing a thick package of bank notes, he
rellected in this strain :
"She's beautiful no man can deny
that. She's really as reiined in her
bearing and conduct as any queen of
society could be. She's pure as an aneel
or else I have spent 1 years of my life
behind a bank counter without haying
learned even the rudiments of character
reading. I'm going to know this little
gipsy, if it's a possible th.ng, and then I
can decide whether she would be a wife
worth the wooing."
Clement Barker always acted promptly
upon a decision. Being, moreover, a
young man of great tsct and knowledge
of how to do things, he soon managed to
get cn terms of passing intimacy.
This went on until Barker finally saun
tered into Park row every night at S r. m ,
preparatory to enjoying the pleasure of
a walk with "Miss Loveliness" on her
way home. She always insisted, how
ever, that he should leave her at a certain
street corner, and not attempt to find
out where she lived. This Barker ridi
ly promised, and, being honorable, be
kei't his promise.
One night he so far lost his head as to
propose marriage. It was a queer thing
t do on the street, but he never saw her
elsewhere. To his great joy she accepted
him, though she did it in a very matter
uf fact way, for w hich their environment
at the time was probably responsible.
"Now," sai l Clement, "you must tell
me your name. I have never heard it."
"I am knownat home as I-ouora ."
The surname which followed caused
Barker to stare. It was the name of a
famous author, w hose works were on
sale at all bookstores, and whose name
was just then on every body's lips.
"I'm a blue-stocking, you see," she
went on, w iih a saucy smile.
"But Leonora, my dear, why in the
world do you sell papers in the row T'
"Because my new novel reqtiirts
material that could be gathered only in
that way. Bat I have done with news
paper selling. I shall now go vigorously
to wori upon my novel. I hoi to
finish it soon."

The Control of a Letter.
The question as to the ribt of the sender
to control a letter until il is delivered to the
person addressed has been raised by the ju
dicial anthoritiiS of California. Ttie depart
ment has decided und-rthe latest regulations
that the author of a letter bal entire control
of it until delivered, and that he or she
niijihl order its delivery to one person alone,
or otherwise, al will.
The case was this : Nellie Horton, living
in San Jose, wrote a letter lo Cnaries B. Ha
iran, in Oakland, iu July. It was addressed
to him at bis mother'a bouse. She stamped
it for a special delivery, and wrote on the
envelope : "Do not deliver to any one except
the person addressed, and hira in person."
The postmaster at Oakland made repeated
etlorts lo deliver it to the young man per
sonally, refusing to surte-idcr it even into
the bands of a member of his family.
Failing in every attempt, he followed the
further instructions given him and returned
il lo San Joee. The girl afterward met Ha
gaa in Sanfrancisco snl shot him. She
claimed that she fired in self-defense. The

How to Eat
Most people think they know how to
eat, but it is the object of Trofessor W. O.
Atwater's article on "Food Waste in
American Households" in Uie Fonun for
September to prove that they do not ;
and he does prove that most rieople, in
doing their table marketing, buy in ruts.
Nowhere else, in fact, is the folly of buy
ing the most expensive things for the
supposed reason that they are the bet
things so universal. Professor Atwater
readers what deserves appreciation as a
public service by showing that in many
cases the most nutritious fare is both
simple and cheaper than the viands
that are foolishly bought by people who
need economy in expenditure, because
of habits of rich which is very often tin
wholesome living.
For example, moet people think a ten
derloin steak u-ust be a much more nour
ishing article than a plain steak, because
it costs more. The same principle actu
ates many buyers in purchasing high
priced butter, tine Hour with much of
the nutriment bolted out of it and deli
cate lish and vegetables. Mr. Atwater
classifies the benefits we get from food
under two heads: Protein, which nour
ishes the tissues, and caloric, whence is
derived heat and energy. A round steak
costing fifteen cects a pound contains as
much of both as a tenderloin costing fifty
cents, and is just as dijwstible. Oysters
and tg,js are very low in protein and
butter and sugar have none, yet ho
many people think these things neces
sary to; their nourishment! They are
richer, in the reverse order, in the fatty
elements which make heat and energy ;
but Professor Atwater's figures show that
there are food preferable to all of them
forlxiththe principal benefits needed.
The follow ing table, based on his re
searchts, gives the order of value of foods
for the two purposes :

There is a deference in the relative re

The latter needs about 10 per cent, more
nourishment and :0 per cent, more heat

A g'd Presbyterian woman in Foun
dry street had a tramp caller Friday aud
she generously set before him a glass of
miik, plenty of bread and a piece of pie.
The tramp sat down and looked at it for
some time.
" Madam," he said, withont touching
it, " are yoa a member of any church ?"
She thought be was going to ask a
blessing.
" Yes," she replied, " I atn a Presbyte
rian." " I am glad to bear that, ma-lam, for I
atn a Presbyterian myself."
Yes?" she replied, not knowing what
else to say.
" Yea, madam," he went on, as he eyed
the food critically, "and I believe us
Presbyterians don't object to eating meat
on Friday, do we?"
Then it was her meek and lowly spirit
that hoisted itself in wrath, and the
next minute the tramp was flying tow
ard the gate with the dog after him.

A Sectional Party.
From lis Lnter cran.
The IVmocra'.ic leaders in the North b ve
laixitoi for many years to show that Ibry
belonged to a National and not a sectional
party. They convinced many voters of this
fact last fall, bat the first Cooresa lo assem
ble after that :ut Democratic victory gives
a ti: denial thnse asseilion. The d;s
liiiuished Leora is-mocral ehvtcd Speak
er of this Fifty-third Congress in his list of
Committees expresses his fsmtiileoce in the
Ifcntocracy of the South. Heaves t.jS.nth
era I Vniia rsits thirty of the chairaianthips
and but twruty-lwo to Northern l-etuoc-ats.
Uf the luur luoat importai.t ruintuitlres he
gives the absoiuie control into the hands of
Southern mm, both as to chairmen and ma
jorities. Thenear thirty -seven comniilues
that have Southern majorities iu the Demo
cratic membership and only fourteen that
have Xortbern Democrats in control.
This may nut be sectionalism as to the or
ganization of the committees) as a whole, but
it does place the Democracy of the Nona
back wuere it was before tbe war, as a very
insignilicanl tail to tbe Southern lemoc ra
cy, and only able to assert its own lights
when il appeals to Republicans for help.
The Southern IemocrwU will be able to con
trol every important committee except that
oi invalid pensions, if the Democrats and
Republicans draw party lines, for the South
ern men have a iiia;-rity of the Democratic
members of aii these important committees.
i'Le South controls the following com
mittees as reported by Speaker Crisp, of
Georgia: Ways and means, coinage, weights
and measures, banking and currency, appro
priations, interstate and foreign commerce,
rivers and harbors, foreign aifairs, pensions,
elections, judiciary, naval aifairs, postoilices
anJ post roads, agriculture, public lands,
merchant marine, railways and canal, private
land claims, public buildings and gnmnds,
l'aciic loans, education, patents, reform in
tbe civi! service, eltctioii of President, Vice
President, and members of Congresa, immi
gration and naturalisation, claims, war
claims. District of Columbia, revision of tbe
laws, expenditure of tbe State department,
expenditure of the War department, expen
diture of the Navy department, expenditure
of the Pontoffice department, expenditure of
tbe luterior department, expenditure of tne
Agriculture department, expenditure of the
IVpartment of Justice, and Printing.
'The Northern iHrmocrala will be able to
control tbe following coniuiiiUvs : Invalid
pensious, military ailairs, militia, Indian
altairs. Territories, manulaeture, mines and
niiuitig, alcoholic liquor trattic, irrigation of
arid lands, ventilation and acouticae, expen
diture of tbe Treai-ury department, expendi
ture on public buildings, aud library.
There is col a question coming before
Congress on which the North and South
may have diderenl interests at stake where
the Northern Democrats can dictate or pro
tect themselves but by an appeal to the Re
publicans. The South can dictate as to the
tan:!' legislation, ihe coinage and currency
question, the appropriations, pensiou, inter
state com m rce, river and harbor improve
ments, and everything else touching legisla
tion. The Northern IVniocrats bare to thank
Speaker Crisp for giving theru coutrol of
sixteen cocimtllees, but one of which touches
legislation, and tne msjority of them rarely
called together.
If tbe Democratic party is not a sectional
party then Speaker Crisp has been laboring
under a misapprehension. The distinguish
ed Georgian made op his committees aa did
Democrats before the war, when the South
was in the saddle and Southern jrentlemen
looked upon Northern men, as mudsills.
Keep Out of Danger.
As this is the season when all typo of
contagious fevers are likely to prevail in ail
localities where diphtheria, measles and
other malignant ailments are reported, to
which cholera and even yellow fever may
be added, national, stste aud city boards of
health are properly solicitous to have it un
derstood that no act of indiscretion is more
lo be condemned than that of peiple visit
ng such localities or domiciles. It is not
demanded of any one to visit a bouse in
which case of contagious disease exists.
When doctors are asked to attend patients
sulTering from any type of contagious div
ease it is incumbent on theru, as laid down
in ti.e regulations of all boards of health,
that they change their clothing, or so disin
fect their bodies as to leader it im
pxssitle lo carry any of fie germ of disease
from one sick room to another. If this is
urged on physicians in the course of their
practice, bow much more necessary is it for
people generally to retrain from venturing
into localities where pestilence of any de
gree i revails .' The natural disisiUon of
almost all so called " good hearted" people
:s lo show their sympathy fur the alHicted
by hurrying to their aid. which is really not
wanted, and then return to their own homes
to distribute the germs of ihe same disease
there, which probably under more prudent
action would not bave contracted it. Hence
the attempt of health authorities to restrain
well people from rushing into the mi 1st of
contagion and bear it hence to spread it in
regions far beyond. If the theory that a
rly can carry a disease m us liny wings ami
drop tl elsewhere is correct. ho muca more
if such distempers can be borne in all di
rections on the clothing of persons. Stay
! awsy then from localities and buildings in
which pestilence is raging. Do not attend
funerals of people who died from malignant
