IIY JAXE FI.I.IS JoV. I)o you think, iti:tiim:i, that Miss Meriton will ikiv ine ten dollars"."' ask ed Alitf for the fiftieth time. "Yes, my dear, I think i-hc'll give you more than ten dollars," dnswen-d Mrs. Parsons, as if the question were ijtlite u new one. "Indeed, I should not Ik? surprised if she gave you tiftiH-n or twenty. Still, if siie gives you only ten, aeivpt it, and thank her." Alice Parsons was pinning tin her hat preparatory to going out, and her mother's words seemed to cheer away a look of nervous anxiety fruui her fair young face. Money was not plentiful iu the Par sons' household, and ten dollars just now meant two very niui-h desired white dr.-sses one for Alice tograduate in, and another for Iter stater Hetty. Tlte dr.-sses had lnvn tinder considera tion since early in the winter. At first it was feared that they Would have to he given up, hut, in the latter iwtrt of January, l.y a happy chance, Alice heard of a wealthy maiden-lady who wanted the services of a secretary for alaiut an hour every day, and she se cured the situation. Tiie work did tint interfere much with Alitv's studies at schia.l, and her mother thought it was an advantage to her, inasmuch as it tended to pro mote self-eontidenee, a quality in which Alice was supp.i-s-d to ! deficient. 'I don't know what to pay you, Miss Vlii-e, until 11' what your work. is worth," h lid Miss Meriton at the he- ginning of Alitv's secretaryship, and Mice had agreed to let Miss Meriton Ik; the judge of the value of her services anil had waited patiently and exp.-ct-atitly for her ay. Now, however, Miss Meriton puqioscd going ahroad for a year, and this, the iH-casionof Alitv's titiiil visit, was to le reckoning lay. The young girl went out of the house and along the street with a vision of two pretty white gowns ln-fore her eyes. Xature seemed to la.- iu accord witli Alitv's happy anticipations. The trees ooketl fresh and green where they peejK-d lip owr the roofs of tlte houses or formed arches of pale verdure in the open sqtiur.-M and shaded avenues. Miss Meriton lived on Wellington street, in a large, old-fashioned hriek house that had Ihvii the home of her parents for many years. She was past middle life, hut still keen and aeiive itaiking. Alice found her at her desk arranging letters and paTs. In mat ters of dress the old lady wasxom.-what ectvntrie, holding hcrsvlf sup.-rior to the trammels of fashion. At present she wore a gown of shiny, purple silk, made with a short, skimpy skirt. Around her hony wrists fell lin.p white cnihroidered undcrslecves which might have been worn in l,"iO, while her coiffure, t-urniountetl hy a black velvet laiw, suggestetl the comparative ly lUiKlern chignon of cival-war times. Miss Meriton carried herself with dig nilietl tincoiisciousness. Apparently she was not aware that she looked dif ferent from other people. In an hour and a half Alice had written a nuuila-r of letters and arrang ed Miss Meriion's affairs for a t.-mjiora- ry winding-up. "Hear," said the old lady, n g ret ful ly, when the work was done. "I'm going to miss you very much, Miss Alice. It's a great comfort to have tine's (jigit saved by a pair of strong young eyes." I an) glad to think that I havelvcn useful to you, Miss Meriton," returned Alice, rising from her chair at the desk and beginning to tlraw on her gloves. "And I'm sure I've enjoyed doing your work very much." Miss Meriton- mused silently for a few moments as ifaltsorK-d in some picture of the liast. Then she rose has tily and bustled int.i the next M ini, where her trunks were p:u-kitL Presently the do.tr opened and MLss Merit-in cairn into the ro m carrying something carefully wrapp.-d in a tow el that was yellow with age. 'Look at this!" she said, removing the towel, and displaying an old silk shawl that had one- besM white, but was now yellow, like the towel, and as fragile as a breath with the fingering tf Time. "I'm going to give you this lovely shawljinstead of money for your work, my dear," the old woman went on, as if conferring a favor. "It c;st sixty dollars in gold ! Oh," laying a fold of the old fabric admiringly beside Alitv's neck, "it's exceedingly U-coming to your fresh complexion ! You can't Iniy anvthiug like it now in the store !" The color died out of Alitv's face, and for a moment or two the slun k of her collapsed ant ieipnt ions was so over powering that site was in tlanger of falling. As for remonstrating with the old lady, or expressing a preference for liaynient in money, that was quite out of the question. Horror scaled up the fountain of her speech. It was all she could do to breathe. I low she manag ed to say "go.d-by" and to get out of the house she did not know. She hur ried home, fairly running a race with her tears, which, however, overtook her at the front door. JL k3vv IL IESTABLISIIED 1827. PA., WEDNESDAY, "Did MLss Meriton mt give you ten dollars?" Hetty asked sympathetical ly as she entered the dining-room. "She gave nie that !" said Alice throwing the bundle on the table and herself on the lounge. And presently, amid a babel of "oh T and tender entreaties to Ik? comforted, she srhh.M out the story of the shawl to her mother, her grandmother and Hetty. Then her grandmother untied the parcel and looked at the shawl cu riously. "It's eighty y.nr-i old," she said, op'.-ning the old creases and and exam ining the antique Uirdt-r. "It was MLs Meriton's mother's. I remcmlier when she first wore it to church." "I think MLss Meriton ought to have kept it," said Mrs. Parson, very much provoked. Hetty dipped her hand kindly into Alitv's anil whisiH-red : "Never mind, dear, we'll get a white dress for you somehow, and I shall not want one. I know yiHi wished to give me one, and that pleases me as much as if I had the dress now." Hettie was not so pretty as Alice. She had a turncd-up nose, with a little pucker of wrinkles over the bridge of it, that possibly came from her being somewhat "nearsighted," and she was not considered so bright at school as her elder sister, lint she had that kintl of mental strength that can en dure disappointment and rise alsive such vexation as that to which Alice had suecumled. "Mamma, suppose we try to sell the shawl ?" she said the next day. "We might get enough for it to buy Alice a graduating dress." "I only wish we could get something for it," said Mrs. Parsons. "Alice will never touch it again, ami I can never look at it without thinking of the pain it caused her. I wish it were out of the house." Hetty got her hat, and pnxveded to wrap up the shawl, which liad not yet put away. "Yes, take it, Hetty, and sell it for anything that it will bring," continued h-r mother. "I would go with you if I had time ; but pcrliais you do as well its I could with the second-hand men." Thus encouraged, Hetty set out iu the direction of Kast street, with the shawl in her anus. She hail had con sidenible experience in buying, but this was her first attempt at selling, and the difference K-tween the two impressed her seriously as she wulked on. She passed several Mir little shops with tlingy old OMiking-utensils in the windows, and finally went into one iu which a gaudy evening gowu, was at tractively displayed among some dis- arded but very res-iectable spring coats and mantles. "Would you like to buy a shawl?" she asked bravely addressing the deal er. "I don't know. Let me sec him," said the man, opening the package, and regarding the relic of by-gone years with an unfriendly look, which settled into an ugly frown as he twisted the fabric alamt and stretched the creases with his unclean fingers. "Pooh ! Pooh !" he finally sneered pushing the shawl across the counter contemptuously, "dot ain't worth noth ing! Xolaxly buy tings like dot so old like the hills !" The wrinkles in Hetty's brow deci- cned, and the corners of her mouth dnNiped a little as she emerged from the shop; but she stain recovered her courage, and made an effort on the other side of the stnvt. Here the dealer in second-hand cloth ing looked at the shawl more resjKvt fully, but he sluaik his head and asked Hetty if she had no old clothes to sell that were more "in style," "I'll try a third time," thought the undaunted young girl, going on to a third dealer on the next square. But it was only to hear the language of the first tine n-ieated with a few variations and finally to lie asked if she would ac cept thirty cents for the shawl. Hetty hesitated a moment, but final ly declined the offer and, taking up her rejected burden, was stain on the street again. "I've found out that I didn't take the shawl to the right market," she thought to herself as she turned her steps towards Main street. She had a little money of her own in her pta-ket enough to pay for an ad vertisement, and she slipped into a newspaper office ami wrote the follow ing lines for insertion in the paper: Foil S.U.K A lvatitiful old silk shawl Well-preserved and antique in app.?ar- anee, and known tola-eighty years old. Address II., Cl.AKltlX OltieJ. The next day H -tty found a letter awaiting in the iitiri-m office. She op.-ned it hoju-fully. Il was a short nob? asking her i't bring the shawl to No. 72 Summ-.-ret square. Ht?tty all but ran home.. "Oh, mamma !' she cried, thrusting thelcttT Into her m rther's hand, "I bt-lieve the shawl will la? knight V1 "Djn't le tK sure," admonished Mrs. Parsons cautiously, not wanting any more disapp. int men ts ir. the fami ly, ami almost dreading to hear the word shawl mentioned. Hetty lost no time iu presenting her- aelf at No. 72 Summerset square. This was quite a splendid part of the city. No. 72 was especially attractive, with beautiful carving in stone over the wide, arclicd front wind.iws ami en closed steps leading into a French ves tibule. The diar was swung open by dignified man-servant, who conduct ed Hetty to a iLiiuty blue room In which were two pleasant-looking ladies. "I am Hetty Parsons I advertised the shawl, you know," said Hetty, in tr.slucing herself. "llii seated, MLss Parsous, please," said the elder of the two ladies gracious ly, relieving H-ttyofthe bundle and opening it. I letty was a-kcd why she wanted to sell the shawl and she told the story in full, reserving only the name of MLss Meriton. Tii2 ladies e-?m.?d to be greatly plea?d with the arti.'le. "It Isold, Hoiiore," the elder lady said, spreading the shawl out and criti ca'ly viewing It through her glasses. "It's lovely, too r "It looks old enough, minimi," said Honore ; "but It seems to me It ought JULY 11, 181)4. to la? a little older to go into a Colonial collection." Saying which, the young lady tqa-n- cd the glass tl.airof a pretty clu-rry-wotsl cabinet, and dra'a-d the old shawl artistically W-hind some blue china cups and sugar liowls. "You need not call iti 'Colonial' cabinet," said the mother. "Of course I can't call it that if we put the shawl in it, for the shawl Is hardly Colonial," said Honore baiking about in a puzzled way. "What is the the shawl?" she asked, her eyes rest ing finally on Hetty's small figure autl interested little face. Hetty started.

But the lady assured her that it was all right, and Hetty, with throbbing pulse and shining eyes, hurried home to find out what they would all think now. Apples as Food. It is not probable that we fully ap preciate the true merits of the apple in part, la-cause it Is too often, if not gen erally, taken simply for the sake of gratifying a morbid apia-tite, instead ofU-ing eaten asa part of our meals, like other khnls of f;al. It is believed that a gotal, mellow apple, taken ten minutes U-fore each meal will I a-useful, pn-jmring the way for the digestive pnxvss, aiding digestion, la-sides co- oia-rating with other kinds of food, more nutritious, in sustaining the Isaly. I loth the malic and avticaciils contain iu the apple aid in in digestion which must constitute this fruit an im srtant addition to grain fotal, especial ly brcatL While it is stated that ap ples are thmwn up some time after they are eatcti, undigested, it Ls proba ble that such were eaten in addition to a full meal instead of a part of it, like other food. Of course, so taxing the stomach that it could not tlo its work, or, worse still, eaten at any time las tween the meals, not only stopping di gestion of the former meal, but adding so much to the lalmr of the stomach, ofteiu-r than otherwise more taxed, more cruelly treated than the "la-asts of burden" around us a slave to the laaly ! Again, it is prolmble that hard it .pies are eaten in haste, not half chew ed, these CiKirse masses not leing pene trated by the juices of the stomach, of course, undigested. On this account it is well to have such made soft by cook ing, or eaten as sauce, iu mtaleration. It is pnthahlc that those troubled with kidney and urinary difficulties find that apples, jiarticularly the sour ones, tlo not agree with them, while a five use of it Hiked apples will lie useful to those troubled with constipation. Nothing call b.? reasonably said against giaal, mellow, sweet apples iu the nut ter of digestion, as they digest in an hour and a half, the sour ones iu two hours, hard sour ones iu less than three hours (the time required for Uvfsteak ), and apple dumplings in three hours. The juice and pulp of apples most cer tainly are far safer than hard cider, with a large per cent, of alcohol, the apple containing no alcohol. Device for Unloading Hay. Following is a description of a device which works well in unlitading hay: The inventor has placed in the nafof his Itarn over the drive tlair, four strung pulleys firmly attached to the rafters. I ii each corner of his hay rack he has made fast a strong ring. Ity one purlin plate he has put up a heavy shaft, iu the middle of which Ls a drum, the di ameter of which is six times that of the shaft. To the shaft in four places are made four ropes, tine of which runs owr each pulley anil down to the prop er height to attach to its corner tiftlto rack for which purpose it litis a strong hook. Over the druni is wound a ni which conies down to the thair and runs under a pulley and to whie'i the team is attached for clevatiug the load. He drives the load upon the floor and while the driver removes the team and hitches to tlte drum rope, he hooks a rop? to the ring in each corner of the rack. When all Ls ready, the team having a purchase of six to one, easily clevates rack, load and all to the height of the mow, and with a jinqK-r system of ratchet and dogs it is held there ami easily rolled tiff into the mow. When this is done, by a slight pull on the drum ruin-, the dogs are released, and by a brake applied to the drum the rack Ls lowered to its place on the wag on, the team replaced ami all Is ready for another loatL Colambns.

A Colored Preacher's Picture of the Day of Judgment "The most wonderful sermon I ever heard," said a iKisiiu-ss man, "was de livered by a colored preacher in South Carolina, in a slave pen which was liv ing utilized as a church shortly after the war. I liapiK-ned to drop into this large gathering of colored people one night and was informed that a new preacher was about to le tried. The minister ur-se back of a pulpit that had lavn improvised from a barrel turned bottom upward, on which was a lighted candle stuck into a liottle. He la-gan to read the Itible, but stuinl led at ever word, spelling some through out la-fore pronouncing them. A man in the rear said : 'ti.i ahead with your sermon,' and tlte preacher ceased read ing. He stood up at full length, and in the dim, flickering light of the 1. .lie candle looked more like an apparition than a man. Ills subject was 'The Judgment.' Here came in that won derful imaginative quality for which the colored race Ls noted. In going alx.ut during the war he had la-come imbued with the military spirit, so he began by giving a vivid word picture of the hosts of heaven lying iu their tent asleep the night la-fore the judg ment day. Then lie worked up to a jaiint where the bugle sounded to pre pare for the desccut upon the sinful world. He pictured the heavenly hot-ts hurriedly running out of their tents to form in line of battle with the (Sreat Commander in front. Then he descrilr ed the stillness that reigned when all was ready, awaiting the command to advantv. By this time the whole con gregation, including myself, were sit ting with nerves strained, vxcited i.'i the extreme, and as the preacher il-scrila-d the tramp, tramp, tramp of the mighty host approaching the earth, I saw several meniU-rs, terrified, get down under the U-nches. He then fol lowed a courier coming from the dist antv, who rejairtetl, 'Death on a white horse' as having apa-ared far away. When the preacher deseril-tl the Com mander detailing a squad of his soldiers to 'go capture death,' a tcrritted moan came from the audience. Finally he brought the army of heaven down to earth U-fore daybreak, and had them resting on their armsawuitingOahricl's trumpet. He pictured at length how quiet everything was, then putting his hand to his mouth he imitated the bugle call, which so terrified anil com pletely unstrung his audience that the greater jairtion of it anise hurriedly and rushed out of the building. In all my life I have never heard a sermon that had so a startling effect upon a congre gation." The Russian Crown Prince. In the F.nglishand continental press, as well as in that of this country, the Cniwti Prince of Russia is invariably called Czarewitch, a word which de notes "the sou of the Czar," as Czar- ewna means "the Czar's daughter." These denominations, however, have not Ihvii used in Itussia since the time of Peter the (ireat, and have, indeed, Uvn thenceforth considered objection able. The reason Is to found iu the fact that the history of Czardom is fiil c.l with numerous tragedies and cant intrigues, in almost all of which a "Czarewitch" form tl the enter of the conspiracy. The m st unfortunate among these was, p.-rliaps Czarewitch Il.-metrius, in liussian Dimitrij. At I'gllstch they still show the house in which he died, from starvation ir some other unnatural cause. Alexei, Peter the (treat's wretched son, was the last heir-apparent of B'assia that h ire the title of Czarewitch, which was then otlieialjy alailished on account of its painful reminiscences. From that time all the memU-rs of the inik-rial family of Itu-esia, the Czar and Czarina ex cepted, were known as (irand Iuke- ami (irand Duchesses, while the even tual heir-apparent Ls called Czesare witch ami his wife Czesarewna. Like the word Czar, Uith these titles are derived from the Iitin Ctesar.

A curious custom prevails among the street peddler and small storekeea?rs of New York that has its origin with the Russian Hebrews. In Baxter street the clothing men, and iu Division stnvt the milliners insist that a stde must la made U-fore 9 o'elia-k on Mon day morning. No matter what the price, and n-gardb-as of the pnfit or loss, some piece of goods ha.s to he turned into coin hy that hour. Other wise the week will prove uu unlucky one. This explain why shrewd eo-rcli-gionists hang amun.l th.-se places on the fateful morn, says the New York ll' ra'tl. They may have had their eye on a pair of tnsiscrs, a coat or a Uuuiet for weeks and they patiently await tlte chance to secure the coveted article at their owu figure. If they see that no business has Uvn done with unini tiated patnis they jump inside a few moments U-fore ! and tlx the price on what they want to suit themselves.

He offered the pmprictora pack age of a dozen Uxrs for ten cents. "No," was the reply. "I'll give you a nickel." The fellow plead.-d until the hands of the cliak pointed to three minutes of nine. Then he baik the five-cent piece and departed, while the IwrU-r explained. Later I met the cdiller on the stnvt and asked: "How much for matches?" "Fifteen cents a package," hen-plied. "Will you sell me two packages for a quarter?" "No sir," was the answer. IK-had in i.le his first sale, and after that cut prices "didn't go." A Searching Examination.
