Kverbody that met Hussy Coleman that morning looked nt I cr admiringly ; and certa uiy a pictty girl, stylishly arrayed, rcd-chi eked and bright-eyed, and in the best of Fpirita, is an agreeable object. There was no special reason for Hussy's good spirits, aside from tho fact that t-he was out for a morning of shopping; but to a young lady who was as fond of wan der ng up and down tluough tho de lightful iniics of dry-goods stores as was .Miss l o'eman, that was ample cause for rejoicing. Iler shopping to day was somewhat mythical; all hlic had been able to put down on her tablets, after industrious elfort to think of something she needed, was a stick of braid and a paper of hair pins, liut she knew sho was sure to seo something sho would want something she couldn't get along without; and, at worst, there were certain to be bargains, for "this day only," in gloves, and handkerchiefs, and fany feathers, and hosiery, and stand scarfs, njpd mantle ornaments. " rho found herself four miles from home with thicelirgc bundles, and a pocket ful of smaller articles, and a shrunken pocket-book, at half-past eleven. Sho had bought soda water and a pound of marsh-mallows, and had a dyspeptic lunch of oyster-patties aud hot hocoiato and cola res, and she was feel ing very bright a id comfortable as sho ha led a homeward-bound car. A large share of her complacence was duo to tho fact of her having bought two handkerchiefs at eight cents apiece, and a pa'r of gloves for forty-nine cents. She was aware that she should never think of using them; she should probably give tbcut to Nora as soon as she reached home; but that did not diminish her ex treme satisfaction in their purchase. Tlie:e was nobody in the car but an old gentleman reading a newspaper in a corner, a young man leaning forward, with a ruminating expression, and his hands clasped over his umbrella-bundle, and two old ladies in crupe bonnets. Gussy deposited her bundles on tho cat at her side all but one, which rolled over to the Hour. The young man. who was immediately opposite, rescued it hastily. (.iussy smiled sweetly; he was an un commonly nice-looking young man. Ho smiled in return, and laised his hut, the conductor took her faro and rang his bell, and tho car jingled on. The old gentleman in the corner had laid dowu his paper, and was fixedly re garding her. ti ussy looked at him. Ho wus a suiull, plump old gentleman, with a bristly white mustache, and eyes of nil almost unnatural brightness. It seemed as though sho had seen him somewhero before. Her suspicion was verified by the old gentleman's gettiug up suddenly aud coming over to her side almo.-t on'a run. "Why, don't you recognize me, my dear young friend;" he demanded, wilh loud anxiety, silting down close at her side, and throwing his paper to the floor Hussy observed, with surprise, ihst he had been holding it wrong-sido up. "Don't you know your father's oldest and ino(.t devoted friend Seymour l'roggctt f" (iiusy did recall tho name. The sound of it brought up a faint recollection of something jiecuTTur something doubt ful; but she couldn't remember what. She kuew at last that her father hud had do connei tion with Mr. l'roggctt for years, lint meeting the eager gaze of his shining eyes, she could do uo less than to smile faintly, with a murmured word. "Why, to be-sure why, to-be-certain!" Sir. l'roggett went on in a high key. "Why, my child, I trotted you on my knee when you were, let us say.thrcc feet high certainly not more than three feet high I trotted yon on my kneel" said Mr. Proggett, excitedly. Oussy grew pink. Mr. l'roggctt' re marks were piercingly audible. The young fflim opposite looked up in n startled way. Tho two old ladies turned astonished faces toward them. "I knew you as an infant I sec yon now in tho full flower of womanhood!" Mr. Proggett went on. Ho nut hands on his knees and held back for a (rood view of tho flower of womanhood. His sharp eyes twinkled admiringly. Hussy clasped her hands together with in her mufT. 'J he young man looked steadily at the floor. The old ladies stared. Mr. Proggett gazed at her in silence for severnl moments. "I have been for many years without the soft refinement of woman's compan ionship," ho proceeded nt last, pensively. "Her sweet sympathy, her gentle care, her tender love is a sealod book to mo." He sighed loudly and edged a little closer to Hussy. She drew away aflright cdly, but Mr. l'roggctt moved after her. 'A sealed book. And yet, I have thought, I havo hoped that such happi ness may yet bo mine. I now bcl.cvc it." Mr. Proggett leaned closer, his lips parted in a tenderly-persuasive smile, his eyes aglow with eagerness. . "My dear young ludy," ho went on, pantingly, "bo not alarmed at my sud denness. Iicmcmber that I knew you in your infancy. Think only of my warm affection, of my pure devotion! Accept the heart of ono who fuithfully adores you." Hussy sat stunned and motionless. Tho two old Indies shared her fright. They clutched their black hand-bags and half rose from their seats. Tho young man turned hurriedly and looked but of the window. "Look not nt my gray hairs. Pemem ber that my heart is young and fresh !" Mr. Proggett implored, wildly "and that its store of pent-up affection, the growth of years, is yours all yours'. ' (iussy stared nt him in helpless, trcm bling horror. She saw dimly that the two old ladies were hurrying toward tho door, in which tho conductor stood broadly grinn ng. She herself was weakly unable to move. Mr. Progctt peered into her face in deep agitation. Then, with a plncid do liberation of movement at strange va riant c with his heated face and glowing eyes, ho placed himself on his knees at tier leet. The two old ladies, clancinar back ward, screamed faintly as they stepped oil the car; the conductor laughed un restrainedly; tho young man, with a face of gravo alarm started forward. "Do not doubt ine!"Mr. Proggett was saving, slirillv. "Do not hesitate to ac cept the lifelong do otiou of a heart which bents for you alone! I have long awaited th opportunity ; long have I hoped and prayed " Hussy pulled herself together with a mighty cliort. Her heart was thumping furiously and Her Head whirling around. Sho looked up and met the eyes of the strango young man fixed upon her with solicitous anxiety. In another moment sho could not have told how it happened- sho was out side the car, under a friendly grocery awning; the strango young man, laden with her mulT, her pocket-book, tho re mains of her marsh-mallow, and her three bundles, was at her side; tho car was rolling on. "Thank you thank you so much!" sho said, gaspingly. "I I don't know what I should have done." She looked up at a lamp-post. "Iam only four blocks from home," she sa d, trying to smile, aud mnde a movement to relievo him of his burden. liut she was pule and her voice was unsteady, and tho young man bowed negatively. '"I will see you to your door if you will permit me," ho said. They walked on, in a palpitating si lonce. Hussy was trembling still; her chocks were red and pale by turns, with the embarrassment of her lingering hor ror. Her companion kept his eyes con siderately turned away. "I I think," said Gussy faintly, "that he isn't in his right mind. He must have been insane! ' " I am suro of it," the young man re- sponded, in respectfully sympathetic ' tones. And they smiled at each other, in : relief. Hussy's father came out at the door of ! his dignified brown-stono house as they paused at the foot of the steps. Ho noslded to his daughter, but nt tho sight of tho Btrangc young man he stopped short. "Well, Delanccy Tatum!" he e'acul ated, "where did you fall from? Where did you find him, Hussy? I' pun my word, I didn't know you knew him, my dear'.'' Mr. Coleman turned about and dragged the young man up the steps. The latter looked ut Hussy in gallant silence. "I don't know him, pap:i,' Hussy mummied; "but ho he on tho car ' "1 was able to be of snmo slight assist ance to .Miss Coleman," Deluncey Tatum interposed, wilh gentlemanly serious ness. "We hud not the slightest notion of our respective identities. I uin ex ceedingly happy to meet you, Miss Cole man." lie met Miss Coleman's eye. In that brief glance, Mr. Proggett's proposal was forever sealed to the knowledge of the world. Mr. Dclancey Tatum was prevailed upon to stay to lunch. Hussy's opinion of him mny bo gath ered from the succinct description of him with which sho favored a particu lar friend. She said ho was "just sweet." She was not astonished Liter, when she gained tho information after a cau tiously gradual jogging of her father' memory that Mr. Proggett had been feeble in mind for some fifteen years; that he was prime to do unexpected and peculiar th'ugs. and wus therefore pro vided with uu uttendunt, from wiiom he occasionally escaped. Nor was sho astonished to find that Delanccy Tatum wus a tine young fellow, n first class business man. and one of the most highly vuliied of Mr. Coleman's business actpiiiiutances. "I invited hiin up to call," Mr. Cole man concluded, sportively. "He's neve seemed particularly anxious about it be fore, but I noticed ho promised mighty easy the other day." And Gussy blushed sweetly and be comingly. Sho is Mrs. Tatum now. Saturday Xiijlit. WISE WORDS. Happy is ho who has no friend to feed, borrowers and beggars aro half brothers. Pleasure and action niako the hours seem short. Trust tho cat when tho buttermilk is on the top shelf. Man's passions make him morn terri ble than any beast in the wilderness. Wo should not imagine that nil aro friends that flutter, or enemies that cen sure. The more we know tho less positive wo becomo it is only the ignorant that never have any doubts. It is better to have thorns in the flesh with grace to endure them, than to havo no thorns and no grace. Poverty is not dishonorable any more than sickness; it is only tho cause of it that may bo dishonorable. Ten thousand of the greatest faults in our neighbors are of less consequence than one of the smallest in ourselves.

AN EXPLANATION OF THE MANU FACTURE OF THIS ARTICLE. Why Modern Steam slendered Lard Is Hotter Tlinn the Old " Kettle Dried ' Product. Lard is defined in Webster's Dictionary as " the fat of swine after being melted and separated from the flesh." This is generic, and is in contradistinction to tallow, which is " the suet or fat of ani mals of tho sheep or ox kind scpnrated from membranous and Gbroug matter by melting it down." Previous to the Civil War, when Cincinnati was the great packing centre of the L'nitcd States and when the State of Ohio packed more hogs than all the other States combined, tho rendering of lard was conducted at the packing-houses in the same man ner, but on a much larger scale, as was practiced by the country and village housewives of the period. The leaf lard and trimmings from the hams nnd sides were cut up Into pieces nbout tho si.e of a walnut and thrown into a big iron ket tle set in brick-work. Eiro was applied, and as soon as the fat began to melt a continuous stirring bc amo necessary to prevent tho boiling grease from burning. Those who have lived in tho country and seen tho farmer's wife tryingout the lard stripped at tho annual hog-killing will remember tho odor that attached to the operation. It remained in the house for several days. As soon as tho pieces of meat adhering to the lard were cooked crisp tho lard was pronounced "done." The fire was banked, and as soon ns the "cracklings" had sunk to the bottom workmen armed with large scoops dipped the cooling lard into tho barrels nnd tierces, in which it was afterward shipped to tho consumers at home and abroad. The operation of rendering by fire was not always a successful ono. Sometimes tho laid was not "cooked" enough, nnd hence was liable to become rancid iu warm weather. More often it was over done nnd scorched to a greater or less degree. In cither event there was a loss to the packer. Hence some other mode of rendering became desirable. The use of steam at low presstrc for melting sugar and cleaning sugar hoghcads was well known. The author of tho first application of steam to trying out lard is not known. However, tho process camo in vogue in 1351. The tanks of that period were made of wood and were of less than one-th'rd of tho enpneityof tho iron tanks now in use. In tho kettles nothing but the loaf lard, the trimmings, nnd the bright pieces of fat carefully picked from tho intestines wcro used. In tho steam lank to the three varieties mentioned were added the heads after thy had been carefully scraped and washed. Sometimes the he uis were rendered separately, It was tho time when lard oil was largely" used for illumination purposes pe troleum had not then become thoroughly utilized and was much higher in price than now and many of the old-timo ackers well remember when lard mado from pigs' heads sold for more than prime leaf, because of its grcutcr pencutage of oil. On its first production there was a pre'iiidico against tho steam-rendered lard. The consumers as a rule knew ail about the keltic-rendered article. Most of them had seen the operation performed on a .small i-calo, but the steamed variety they did Hot understand. Hence was the origin of "kettle-drying." After being cooked in tho tanks the lard was allowed to run into shallow pans, say eight feet Jong nnd four feet wide, where it was allowed to' simmer over a low tire for a short time before being placed iu the tierces. It was popularly, but er roneously, supposed that this simmering evaporated n considerable anoiint of water that had lodged in the lard during tho steaming process. Eor many years after tho war "kettle-dried" bird com manded n s'ight premium over the steam rendered, but this in t;mo disappeared, when the latter became the standard article. Tho "gut lard'' that around the lower intestines - a-.d tho tank bottoms were worked up nnd rendered into soap-grease, known in the trade ns white, yellow and brown. Tho "white" was the lightest colored und, of co.irE'. the best. The names of the others expla;n themselves. At the present time there aro known to the trade four varieties of lard: "Kettle-rendered," in which the lnrd is rendered by a steam coil in a jacket, tho steam being at high pressure. This is composed of pure leaf, trimmings, nnd tho carefully selected pieces from the up per intestines. "Prime steam," composed of three kinds n nied and tho beads. The ren dering is done with open steam in iron tanks, twelve feet long aud six feet in diameter. "Itch'ued lard" is tho article over which there has been so much agitation in Congress. This is composed of from fifteen to twenty-live per cent, of cotton seed oil, ten per cent, of stcariue, and sixty five to seventy-five per rent, of steam lard. The article intended for consumption in the South or for export to Cuba, Central or South America, c in tuins a larger proportion of cottou-.-ced oil than that which is used iu tho Northern latitudes. Pure leaf bird is the article as stripped from the slaughterer's bog, ami is so d to the bulteiine manufuctureis, who cp nrate the membranous portion from it and mako a neutral article, which enters largely into Ihe composition of the bogus butter. The first two articles are the only ones known ou the Hoard of Trade and subject to its rules of inspection. L'lii aiju Tribune, Why Itoom Numbers Are Changed. The hotel clerk tiuds many curious people. If at soino time there has been a suicide in one of the rooms, the first duty of tho clerk is to seo to i' that the newspaper reporter does uot get the num ber of the room. Aud if he should, the number is changed ut the hotel usipiick ly as posdble. The reason for this is that the average arrival w ho is posti d on the suicide invariably a-ks Ike c lerk what room it occurred in, and follows the inipiiry with th: icmark that he "doesn't want that room." Theie' is hardly a nVt-du-s hotel in Chicago that liusn't hid some toil of a flawed, and the cU-rks ais never supposed to know what room th -y occurred iu. C'Airoyo Mail, HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS. Caret of Kitchen I'tenslln. The flavor and wholesomeness of food, and consequently the entire health of the household, depend to considerable extent upon the care given to dishes nnd pots used iu preparing food, and upon the cleanliness of various cloths and towels used about the kitchen. Sand is not used in scouring tins now ns it once was, so that they soon becomo unfit for any use. There are many excellent scouring soaps that are effectual in cleaning, and do not wear out the surface of the pot ot nan. Doilinir hot washing soda and water will usually brighten any tinware. As soon as it is washed wipe the tin with a dry towel nnd set it for a short time on a shelf behind or near the stove where it may become thoroughly dry. If this i; done systematically there will be little need of sand or even scouring sonp. The ring dish cloth or "Iron disl cloth" is invaluable for lemoving any remnant of cooking which adheres to the bottom of cooking pots or tins. Tin outside of pots can be thoroughly washec with this cloth without soiling the fingcrf with soot, which so commonly clings tc the bottom of pots set net the lire. Tliit dishcloth should be kept free from grease with boiling water anil soda, and liunp near tho sink, to bj nt hand when wanted. Frying pans of polished iron that be come blackened may be readily bright ened with a little boiling vinegar nnd salt, after which they should be thoroughly scoured with sonp and dried near the tire. All pans or pots in which onions, cabbnge or any strong vegetable! havo been cooked should be first thor oughly washed, then set on tho stove filled with soda and water, in the propor tion of two or three tnblesponfuls of sodt to n gallon. hen this water comes tc a boiling point remove tho pot from tin fire aud rinse it out, nnd wipe it dry. It is better to have a special pot to cook onions in, lined with porcelain, or o.' granite ware. Iron turns this veuetable black, and it is exceedingly dillicult tc get tho odor of onions out of these pots. Soft sonp is a necessary article ii every kitchen, and this should be used with sand to scour floors and unpainicci tables: it is also especially useful about tho sink, and if freely used w.th boilini hot soda and water will keep the plumb ing works of tho kitchen free from tin collection of grease which sometime! clogs up the wusto pipe of the sink. Brushes that are used about th sink can readily be kept clean with soft sonp. There is one article which is of tot neglected, but which it is essential tc keep clean: this is the garbage pail. It is a simple matter to keep a long-hnndlc(i whisk hung out doors for this purpose.

It is a disgu-ting habit to ktc(. tiiis pail .within doors at any season ol the year. This pail should be covered. and the cover should be carefully washed with the pail onco a week. If a wood box is kept in tho house it should bo brushed out ut least once n week, as bits of refuse food and old cloths used in cleaning are apt to col ect in such places. It is scarcely necessary to add that every corner and closet cm the kitchen floor should be scr alilie 1 out once a week, nnd no dust be left in corners- for the seeds of diphtheria and other zymotic diseases to be sown in the form of the green mould, which readily collects on any stray crumbs of refuse. It is a safe, neat habit to scald up nil cleaning cloths used for paint and floors in the w ater of the wn-hing boiler nflet (he clothes nro removed. Such cloth should bo carefully hung outdoors. An abundance of dish towels of Itus sia crash, store towels of any coarse cot ton or linen crash, and dishcloths of heavy linen, should be iu every kitchen. It is better to ki ep a set of linen brencM and cake cloths by themselves, for tho exe'usive purpose of covering rising bread or mullins and for covering bread when it is taken fiom the oven, and wrapping around bread or cako when they arc put away in a stone pot or tin box. .Yd York Tri'ma-: He ipes.
