She and Felicia Martin were idly looking out UDon the diivewav of Mr. Martin's country seat through the narrow latticed window.

" Felicia, don'tl you make me shud dcr," cried Stella. " Your imagination is betttr Hum your eyesight; jou are al ways ft eing soineooit y devouring some body else with their glances. I ra tur I thought Colonel Autieuieid was as in " different as a star in heaven." "Modest creature! Ha had ears for nobody out yourself, as well as eyes. It is Kismet.

Once they paused at the gate to listen to his plaintive voice. Felicia had , passed on to the piazza ; the pines stood out tall and dusky against the heavens; the roses shook out tin odorous breath whenever the wind touched them. "You should hear tho nightingales fluting about my home in Surrey, when the ni'jht falls; it is like the refrain of some sad poem," said Colonel Audenreid. You must have been very happy there in that beautiful country," re turned btella. Colonel Audenreid opened the gate for her to pass on, without replying, with a distraught air, as if he were al- readv mi es away Irom the subject. "I think ho did not like me to speak ot that time," she confessed to Felicia, " Fiddlesticks," returned that young person. " Perhaps it was too sacred." "Pshaw! Are you blind, Stella? None so blind as those who won't see, I've heard. I hastened into the house on purpose to give him a chance to speak to you. I saw it in his eyes." " I never knew such sight as yours, though 1'vo always understood near sighted people could see in the dark. He lias nothing special to say to mo." "Then he is the greatest humbug ex tant.

" lie was quoting trom the iTerman." "How stupid you are, Stella! If you will not respond, how is a lover to know if you caro ?" And whnt makes you think that I care ?" How can you help it ? Oh. why doem'1 ho make love to me that way !" Nonsense. Lelieia; he makes the same sort of love to every girl ho meets, I suppose," 1 don't suppose anything of the kind," The following day the wind turned east, a drizzling luzy rain set in, blot ting out everything, and obliging them to told their tents and takereluge in the little bia shell House at hand; and by nieht all the rowers of the air were abroad ; the air seemed to beat and bel low under their very window, the wind whipped it into hne leathers ot spray. and the darkness was like a garment, There was a gray sickly dawn creeping up the sky, when btella, looking irom her window, saw in the distance the outlines of a wrazged wreck painted boldly against the horizon, and the shore swarming with people moving sbouo uncet taiuTy. "Oh, Ste la," cried telicla, "here s a real shipwreck 1 Let us put on our wraps and creep down to the shore, and hear nil about it. I wouldn't miss it for worlds!" Felicia's teeth were chattering might ily as they took their way to the shore, and mingled among tho groups of men and women. "She'.l go to pieces in no time at all," some one was prophesying. "Jim saw folks a-clinging to the masts and things, with his glasi." "Thai's a master glass of his'n," said another. "But ain't they going to for to do nothing I" "They've sent out a life-line; but it ain't no pleasant places that line's fallen into, let me tell you.

So much brilliancy and cultivations much wit and experience, as good as thrown avay. Taey'll have to pull the line In presently, no doubt, and it would be painful lor you to be here, my dears, after so much pleasant companionship. Oh. Stella! Stella! my dear girl" Stel a had fainted away. It was a stirring morning that fol lowed at the little Sea-shell hou3e, pro viding for the rescued, listening to their story, and taUing over the event. When Stella left her room, about noon, she was met by a fisherman's wife bunging her a sealed note. " I found it in the pocket of Jim's pea-jacket, and 1 made out how it was lor Miss Stella Ames, and they told me you were the lady as tainted on the beach," she explained. "You see, Jim has gone for the doctor up to town, and he changed his coat nrst to look ship-shape like." "Thank you," said Stella. "Who can have written to me here?" as she tore it open and read : "I am going to carry the life-line out to a shipwrecked crew. I shall probably never return alive, but it is their only chance. While you are dreaming on your pillow I shall, perhaps be tasting the bitterness of death and parting. ' Verjly, death is this' to see you no more till the sea gives up its dead. My darling, my darling, let me have the h appiness of repeating 1 love you, I love you, Stella. Good-bye, sweetheart, good-bye." 'John Ai denheid." Then she turned to the torn envelope addressed to " Miss Stella Ames, Sea shell House. To be given her only in case I never return." The revelation was premature. Colonel Audenreid had returned, but so spent that the doctor had beeu summoned Irom town. Mr. Martin took his family back to Martin- vale, but Colonel Audenreid remained at the seaside a fortnight longer under treatment. In the mean time, Stella went home home for Stella meaning at tendance on the whims ot a wealthy bvDochondriac. with a small stipend. without relaxation. One morning the post brought her a letter from Felicia. Perhaps it contained news of Colonel Audenreid. It did with a vengeance. " Dearest Stella " (it began) " How odd that the very thing 1 wished should come to pass! I'm almost daft. To think that, after all my non sense, it should be me myself little insin niticant. near-sighted Felicia Mar tin, whom Colonel Audenreid asks to marry him! I can hardly believe my ears; and all the while I believed he Txr u a am iitpn with vour charms. How glad I am that you didn't care for him! You must be my bridemaid. Mamma says it shall be white satin and pearls. " Yours, in the seventh heaven, " Felicia." " p. S. After all, he doesn't make nnite the ideal lover I fancied he is so respectful, and not at all gushing, you know By the way. you never toid me how you came to faint that night of the wreck." It was no wonder that Mrs. Davis found Stella distraught that day, talking at random, absent-eyed and fantastic in her moods. What did it all mean? Why had Colonel Audenreid written her that Dote if he loved Felicia, and why was he going to marry her if he loved somebody else? Didn t he know that she had received his message of love? Or did he mean simply to ignore it, having Been fit to change? From living in a state of happy excitement, when every footstep in the street below might be Colonel Audenreid's, who was hastening to repeat the burden ol his note, Stella was suddenly brought down to earth, to the dull certainty that nothing more was ever likely to happen to her, that there had been some dread iul mistake somewhere, which had lent her days a rose-color for a little while, to be sure, only to leave them grayer and more forlorn than before. Ail at once she remembered with a shudder that Colonel Audenreid's fatal note was at Martin vale, that one morn ing she had been reading it and getting it oy heart in her own room, when Felicia knocked at her door, and she had slipped the precious document be tween the leaves of her "Golden Treasury" lying on the toilet table; and then Felicia had entered with Mrs. Davis' summons for Stella to return to duty, and in her hasty packing and de parture she had left Martinvale without the " Golden Treasury." Some day she promised herself to beg leave of Mrs. Davis to run away to Martinvale and secure her treasure, not that its possession would signify to her any longer, only in order to keep it from Felicia's eyes; but Mrs. Davis would not hear to being left an hour, and sometimes Stella cherished the insane idea of writing to Mrs. Martin and re questing that lady to send the " Golden Treasury of Song," which she would find in the gable room, without open ing it. " Dear Mr. Davis," Bhe begged one day, when a couple of months had gone by, and she had heard no more of pearls and satins and bridemalds from Felicia, "do let me run down to Martinvale, if only to stay over a train; it is very im portant." " A matter of life and death, I sup pose?" "It concerns the happiness of two people." " Can't you tell me about it?" " Yes, I wi II, and then you w ill surely let me go. When I was at Martinvale in t lie summer I met uoi a certain gentleman. He was very kind. He carried the life-line out to a distressed crew when we were all at the beach to tther, and he left a little foolish, hasty note for me, in case he never returned ; by some mistake the note was brought to me. though he did return. It was n hasty little affair, you know, written, no doubt, under strong excitement, when he had misunderstood his own feelings, I suppose; for I have never seen him since, and the note is in my "Golden Treasury," which I left behind me, and my friend lelicia Martin may find it, and it would break her heart, for she is going to marry Colonel Audenreid, Oh! I did not mean to tell his name; but vor .1 forget it, dear Mrs. Davis, and let io ro at once ?" " I am not likely to forget it, child," laughed Mrs. Davis; "it was my own name before I married. Colonel Au denreid is a sort of cousin ot mine. It is a pretty story. Yes, you shall go. So the note would break Felicia's heart, would it? It mu9t have been very ten der." " But you see there must have been some mistake about it." " Well, there are as good fish in the sea as ever yet were caught, child. Go and look alter Felicia's happiness, it you will." And lor the first time Mrs. D.ivis kissed Stella's white cheek. " You might have been my cousin, you know," she explained. But Stella never reached Martinvale. Stepping into the station, she ran against Colonel Audenreid stepping out, with her " Golden Treasury " in his hand. They looked at each other for a breathing space But all's well that ends well. I had no thought of retreat. Felicia had Ac cepted me. I had heard at the beach that she fainted when I carried out the line. You had not received my note, and had no knowledge of my feelings. I must make the best of my mistake. The engagement waennnounced. I made a sorry lover, I fear. One day when I went down to visit at Martinvale, they gave me the room you had used, as there were other guests. In a fit of megrims I happened upon your 'Golden Treasury,' and your name stared at me from the fly leaf, and my own letter fell at my feet. Felicia released me without a sign. There is another star in her heaven, before which my light grows pale. Stella, do you love?" Harper's Bazar. TIMELY TOPICS. A number of Philadelphia experts in coal mining and the manufacture oi iron and steel have been granted a valuable concession by the czar for the purpose of developing the resources of a large tract of country in Southern Russia.

Professor Bencke, of Marburg, Ger many.after measuring 970 human hearts, says that the growth of that organ is greatest in the first and second years of tile. At tho end of the second year it is doubled in size, and during the next live years it is again doubled.

For such purposes it is maae ot iour folds of the material cut bias, and edged at the top and bottom with a narrow plaiting, or else a ruflle of the goods taken double. This passes around the back of the neck, and extends down the fronts as far as the top of the darts, where it is rounded off, or else it may bo lengthened so that tho ends will be con cealed under the belt. A ruffle of lace or a linen collar is worn around the neck. Very small fichus of white soft mull are made with a point behind, are turned over at the top, and rounaeci in ironi; t.hev are then edzed with lace two inch es wide, and this lace is also put on the upper part, which is turned down, tiius nmkinir two rows in the back. When completrd this fichu is scarcely larger than a lady's pocket-handkerchief folded triangularly, and is worn close and high about the throat, dispensing with the warm linen collar or the full run oi lace It is cool and pleasant for summer wear, and is very dressy. Ladies who make braid laces, and who do fanciful pat terns of tatting, make this small fichu without muslin, and entirely of the tat- tinsr or lace. The shawl-shaped muslin fichus are large enough to reach nearly to the elbows, are quite straight and close-fit' ing across the back, and have ends looselv tied in front.

When I was able to walk, I went there to find you. It was dusk as I approached through the garden-. Somebody was dreaming on the piazza. It is Stella,' I thought. Inside the house Mrs. Martin was speaking to Fe licia. I heard her sav distinctly. ' Shall you go to town to-morrow, Felicia? ' and Felicia reply, 'Certainly, if the weather allows. 1 did not know that there wns an Aunt Felicia with the same tricks ot voice. Of course, if Fe licia was indoors with her mother, it was Stella star-gazing on the piazza, and Derhaos thinking of me. Would ever things be more in my favor? I drew near; some tender word, some hasty avowal escaped me; she was in my arms, when a voice from the win dow dispelled my dream.

The Danish government has resolved to establish a station at Uper- nivik. in West Greenland : the Russian government has granted a subsidy for an observatory at me moutn oi uie Lena, and another on the New Siberian islands; Count Wilczek is to defray the expenses ot a station on Nova Zembla under the direction of Lieutenant Wey precht: the United States signal service under General Meyer, has received per mission to plant an observatory at Point Barrow, in Alaska; and n is expected that Canada will have a similar estab lishment on some point on her Arctic coast. At the Hamburg conference it was announced that Holland would furnish the funds for a station in Spitz- bereen: and it is expected that Norway will have an observing post on the ex- tremitv of the province of Finmark, This is a good beginning, and it is hoped that some sort of agreement will bo es tablished to have all the observations made after a uniform method, otherwise their value will be greatly decreased. Sand-Showers in China. Ever? vear witnesses curious sand- showers in China when there is neither cloud nor loir in the sky. but the sun is scarcely visible, looking very much as when seen through smoked glass. The air is tilled with a tine dust, entering eves, nostrils and mouth, and often causing serious diseases of the eye. This dust, or sand, as the people call it, pene trate houses, reaching even apartments which neem aecurelv closed. It is sup posed to come from the great desert of Gobi, as the sand of the rmhara is taken up by whirlwinds and carried hundreds of miles away. The Chinese, while sensible to the personal discom fort aiisinir from these showers, are re signed to them from a conv lotion that they are a great help to agriculture Thev sav that a vear of numerous sand showers is alwavs a year ot great fer tili y. The sand probably imparts some enriching elements to the sou, ana it also tends to loosen the compact allu vial matter of the Chinese valleys. It is possible that thee showers may be composed ot microscopic insects, like similar showers which have been noticed in the Atlantic ocean. John Howard, the great philanthro pist, married his nurse.

Breakfasts arc no longer relished ; din ners afford but a languid interest, anu suppers seem superfluous. Only vigor ous workers out oi uoors, oi juuhk iiuu ple who are so blessed as not yet to have m:dc the acquaintance of their stomachs, come to tho table with a real zest for food. And it is no wonder, considering how few people have yet learned mean of altering their diet to suit their own conditions :md the state ot the season. The spring appetite fails and ought to fail, before ham and eggs or a great piece of steak, on these enervating first warm mornings oi tne year, rucu u jp, heavy meats and all stimulating and blood making artiults of diet, that met a real want iu the nipping and eager air of winter, are as much out ol place now as the furs and ulaters. And yet many a person who would think it a siga of lunacy to dress in tho December style in May, does not appear to see i.ji.v im.Mii gruity in eating in the December fashion Food and coal create heat, and thick clothing and tight houses preserve it for the comfort of the body in winter. Yet men who know enough to dump their furnaces, open tho windows and lay oil their overcoats on the advent of spring, are stupid cuough to keep on stoking their stomach at full blast and consider themselves " out-of-sorts " and ill if nature resents tho abuse. It is time to let up on the cold weather diet especially for persons doomed to live indoors. A mold ol well-cooked oatm.al, served cold wita cream and sugar, with two or three oranges and a, cup of coffee, makes an adequate and appetizing breakfast.
