JUi TKI.I, IT -JTdTher nud the girls wero quite in ecstasies over the new house. The masculine members of the family were inclined to be dubious as to its advan tages. Tho chief objection which we hud to it was that it was one of a row of eight, all exactly alike, and it was ex tremely duticult to be sure of the right door. A week's practice, however, made that all right; ours was the fourth house from the south end of the row; as I walked from the ollice along the street immediately south of us, 1 soon became accustomed to taking the exact number of steps, after turning tho corner, which would bring me to the door. Besides, the hour at which I came homo (I am a proofreader on a morning paper and my dutios usually keep mo at the ollice until near J a. m.) m ale it necessary for mo to carry a latchkey. Whilo 1 kuew that of course our neigh bors had exactly the same conveniences which we eujoyed, aud looked for light to windows iu the tame portion of ex actly similar rooms, and ex erienced the annoyance of smoky chimneys when the wind was in the particular quarter which allccted ours. I did not dream that tho houses were so precisely the same that the key of one would unlock another. We had lived here about a week when the street-car line nearby began running owl cars. This was a boon loi me, as it saved me a walk of some length. The car lines ran within half a square of the house, being on the next street north of The first night that I rode home I was so sleepy when I got out of the car that I scarcely knew what I was doing. Hitherto the exercise of walking hud kept me wide awake until I got into my own room. I managed to unlock the front door, however, and get upstairs; habit making my movements noiseless. as I kuew that my mother was easily awakened and did not readily go to Bleep again. The room which I occupied was over the dining room, the door being nearly I opposite the head of the stairs. Some what to my surprise, the gas was not buruing on the lauding; the girls had probably forgotten to light it before go ing to bed. I groped my way carefully along, aud at last reached the door of my room. I entered; it was, like the hall, pitch dark. I tried to find the table on which there should be a lamp, and my hand ca'ue in contact with some thing else. I drew a match from my pocket and struck it. As I held it it screened in my hand I saw that the room was a strango one. Suddenly all was dark ; it was not that the match had gone out, but tho brain was shadowed I knew nothing more. HHP. TKI.I.S IT. I was nlwavs rated couraceous. I seemed to lack that instinctive fear will h auses some to shrink from darkness and loneliness. My brothers and sisters of ten declared that I would never be fright- ned: not even. Added May, with a shudder, if a burglar were to present him self before me and demand my valuables. These would not tempt any wcll-rrgu- latcd burglar, being small ana of little ntrinsic value; but, l snouiu not iiko to lose them, and I had nlways determined to defend my property stoutly if threat ened, providing, of course, that I had sullicieut warning of tho robber's inten tions to enable me act. I awoke one morning at that proverbial darkest hour just before the dawn. I bad no idea what time it was, as the wholo house was wrapped in silence and darkness; it is from after events that I am ablo to say that it was nearly morn ing. I had started suddenly Irom sleep, but at first I could not tell what had aroused mo. As I lay listening for Fomo sound to follow Unit which had recalled me from the land of dreams, my thoughts turnod instinctively to our next door neighbors, who had been domiciled in tiie row for about a week. Nobodv know them, although several of the older residents had spoken of call - inir unon thcin porhaps; tor wo imea the looks of the ladies aud they fecmed inclined to be friendly. Tho men. how ever, seemed to be home all day and it, Jvftway jiU Jjiht. They wcro not work- Man sees the hands, their clothing, their ITu rfrlJTrwMflfrTf-nl sjk wo wore afraid they were not just what they should be. Wo recalled certain crowsome stories of counterfeiters, bur glars and other criminals who scttlo in respectable neiguuornooas, ana oniy ex cited suspicion by tho unreasonable hours whicn they kept. Was that a step on the stairs? L lis- i toned more intently, my .wandering thoughts recalled from all other sub ectsj Surely it was, ftnd that was another. Thero was a burglnr in the house. I sprang out of bed and enveloped myself in a circular which chanced to be bang ing on a chair, as I had worn it out into the rain the preceding evening. In spite of my boasted courage, my heart beat very loudly as tho step was heard onco more, aud this time upon the landing just outside my own door. I grasped the poker firmly, however, try ing to restore my wonted courage by tho pressure of that formidable weapon in my handt wsajt itf3to2Wy.WEJJ iron, nt which tho others often laughed declaring that it must make me tired to rako the tiro. The knob of the door turned slowly and cautiously, and tho burglar entered tho room. W hat would ho do next? He closed the door as gently as he had opened it. and for a momcut teemed undecided. Did he have a iltirk hrf rerfl'fuid a pistol f I could not imagine a burglar without such ad juncts, both of which W2re equal ly unfamiliar objects to me; and I shivered as I thought of the advantage which he would have over mo and my poker. Evidently tho dark lantern was not in working order, however, for ho simply struck a match. The little llame showed mc that our new neighbors were not un founded upon reason this was one of them. They were certainly a gang of burglars. He made a step toward tho dresser. To reach it he must pass nio. Ho was within reach of my arm. I raised my weapon, and utteriug the loudest scream of which my lungs wero cnpablo, I struck him on the side of the head. lie fell like a log to the floor. Horror! I had killed him! .. My renewed screams alarmed the house, aud tho others were speedily at my side. I had already lighted the gas, and was on my knees beside the man I had struck, vainly endeavoring to recall life. My assortment of restoratives, I was afterward assured, was sullicieut to havo revived a do.cu swooning men. ' "What in the world " begun my brother ns he appeared upon tho scene. He was the first to come to tho room. "Oh,my burglar's come!" I exclaimed, half hysterically, "but I've killed him." "Wholly unnecc-sary severity," re marked Tom; "you always overdo the thing. But that man isn't dead." As if to coulirm his words, the burglar just then opened his eyes and looked in quiringly around him. "He looks du.cd," I whispered to Tom. "He has occasion to look dazed if you hit him with your beloved poker," rejoined Tom, pushing mo aside and ap plying restoratives iu his turn; "put it where it belongs and go get mo some brandy or wht-ky or something ot tho kind. We'll have to get this fellow on his feet before we call the police." "I I was mistaken, sir," said the burglur in a feeble voice, but with a very decided manner. "I was mistaken in the house. It appears that the same latch key unlocks both doors, and I got the wrong one." "Yes. 1 think you did," rejoined Tom, emphatically, aud eyeing him with sus picion. The burglar managed to scramble to his feet, although. 1 could see that ho was still dizzy from the encounter with my poker. I retired into the closet aud held the door shut that is, very nearly. I think that you will do me tho favor to change your mind about scud- , jUg fr the police," ho said, "when I explain. 1 am employed upon a morn ing paper, and am not through with my work until nearly tins nonr in the morn advantage of the new owl curs to-night, and went to sleep on my way houie, hardly waking up wheu I got out and walked the half ulo k here. I live at 413, and I hone von will accept my ex planation and apologies and allow me to go home to bed. I am very serry I have I disturbed the lady, and probably fright ened her." It seemed to me," said Tom, putting out his hand, "that the lady is perfectly well able to take care of herself, and that you ought to know it." Ihe stranger laughed good nuturedly "She tried to beat it into my head, at any rate. Hut will you convey my jsut win you convey my apologies to her. The two weut down stairs then and I heard no more. But the blow on our neighbor's head effectually broke the ice between the two families and we became ! firm friends. . i . n ,.-n-rm rtt-i nrff rsr I CHANGE. I was married about two years after the episode of tho burglar.

When the head is sick tha whole body is sick. The envious man's face grows sharp and his eyes big. Necessity is the argument of tyrants, it is the creed of slaves. . By tho very constitution of our nature, moral evil is its own curse. Ho who throws himself under tho b.nch will bo left to lie there. He who wishes to sccuro the good oi others has already secured his owu. Tho place honors not the man; 'tis the man who gives honor to the place. The doctor who prescribes gratui tously gives a worthless precription. The thief who finds no opportunity to steal considers himself an houest man. Thy friend has. friend, .lind thy friend's friend has a friend; ''be discreet. Man sees the mote in his neighbor's not the beam iu his own. noken in its time is worth one picco orinW)y, ilonce in its time is worth two. When thou art the ouly purchaser, then buy; when other buyers are present be thou nobody. For people to live happy together tho gVcat secrct is that they should not livo too much together.; As the old man grows more nnd more blundering, if ho will grow more careful, it will go far to counterbalance that in firmity. Pencnt tho day before thy death. (Consider every day as possibly your last, and bo ever prepared through penitence). It is worth while to expose our ignor ance to others, that we may learn it our selves. This is many times tho only way wo shall ever learn it.

We find that in making all kinds of chopped pickles, it is a cry great saving of timo and labor to use o sausatro cutter to prepare the vegetables. Asa good part oi me worn codsims in cleaning the cutter, we met and cut oi ground our cabbage, tomatoes, oniont na peppers, it was an aone in a very short tune. We took the chopped vege tables homo in paiis. Mr. Howe, tho ady at whose houso the work was done, gave me this recipe for making them up: tine pccK ana a nan oi green tomatoes, three small heads of cabbage, six large onions, six ripe peppers, and six groeu peppers; chop all very finely and cover all with salt for twenty-four hours, then drain the juice oft thoroughly ; cover with two quarts of strong vinegar; ami one aud a half pounds of sugar; scald all ono hour, then add three heads of finely chopped celery and ono pint of grated horse radish root; boil all fifteen min utes, then add ono tublespoonful ol cloves, two tablespoonf uls each of while mustard-seed, allspice, ginger, ana one tablespoonful of mustard. These spices nro all to be ground. Cover closely. It is fit for use in a month. The Care of Lamp reoplo who live in houses lighted by gas escape much that is disagreeable in the are ot lamps or lueiriacs: oi tare. Hut the kerosene lamp is the almost universal illuminator. The bcstliht is obtained from a lamp where the surface of the oil is at all times at the same distance from the burn ing part of the wick. Where the re cr voir containing the oil is directly under the burner, as in most common lumps, tho blaze burns less ana less brightly as the oil decroases and the wick grows moro tardy in supplying it. We need an improvement in liana lamps on mis accouut. The wick serves principally to elevate the oil, the combustion of its own sub stance being very slight, but there is a chiice in wicks, b elt wicks nre preieiabie to woven, as they can be moro easily trimmed to give a good shaped blaze. Some housewives in trimming a w.ck will cut off alt the black every day. This is undesirable, for by pinching oil tho loose fibers and smoothing over the top a better light is obtained. The inside o'l tho oil reservoir should bo carefuUy cleansed with soda dissolved in watei (tcapoonful to a quart of water). l e careful to drain ana dry them well. Thif can be easily done by standing them in the open oven a few moments. Do not let tho soda nnd water come into contact with any bronze or gilt about the ouside of the lamp. Oil should bo strained before it is put into a glass lamp. The burners should be boiled in soda water once in a month or two. If you live in or near where there is a factory in which brass is handled, take the burners there and have them dippod. It will cost but a few tents, and they will look liko new. Some burners give an excellent light, especially for winter, as they heat liko a email stove. One will very quickly raise the temperature, iu an ordinary-sized room, five degrees. People practice economy in all ways and uso widely ditlerent means of "saving a little, which is a good thing to do but don't for the sake of your eyes and health economize by using poor, worn-out burners on your lamps, which render combustion imperfect, and would be none too good if new. 2i'eie York A'tios, Itecipos.

From Georgo Kennan's latest article In the Century on lifo among Russian exiles, wo quoto tho following: 1 ho prisoners had disembarked belore vno reached our destination. We found them assembled in two dense gray throngs at the ends of a long wooden shed, which was surrounded nnd turned into a sort of cattlo-pcn by a high plank wall. Here they were identified, rountea una turned over by the convoy oflicer to the warden of the Tomsk forwarding prison. Tho shed was divided transversely through the middle by a low wooden barricade, at one end of which was a fenced inclosure, about ten feet square, for the accommodation of tho otlicers who had to take part in the reception of the party. About half the exiles hnd been formally "received" nnd were stand ing at the eastern end of the shed, whilo tho other half wero crouped in a denso throng at the western end, waiting for their names to I e called. Tho women, who stood huddled together in a group by themselves, were mostly in peasant costumes, with bright-colored kerchiefs over their heads, and their laces, 1 thought, showed great anxiety and ap prehension. The men all wore long gray overcoats over coarse linen shirts and trousers; most oi tnem were iu chains, and the bare heads of the con victs and the penal colonists had been half shaved longitudinally in such a way thnt one side of the scalp was smooth and blue, while the other side was hidden by long neglected ha r. oiaiers stoou here and there around the shed, leaning upon their bayoneted rilles, nnd inside the little enclosure were the convoy offi cer of tho party, the warden nud tho surgeon of the Tomsk forwarding prison, tho chief of the local bureau ot exile administration, and two or three other officers, all in full uniform.

The examining officer compared his face carefully with a photo graph at'ached to the "statcinispeesok," or "identification paper," iu order to make sure that tho pale man had not "exchanged names" with somo other exile, while a Cossack orderly examined him from head to foot nnd rummaged through his bag to see that he had neither lost nor surreptitiously sold the articles of clothing that he had received in Mos cow or 1 lumen, Bud that uis "stateint sneesok" called for.

Of course the ronvov ollicer has no means of prevent iug this sort of transaction, becau-e he cannot possibly icmcmber the names and faces of tho four or five bundled men in his party. If tho convict succeeds in findini' a colonist who is willing to sell his name, ho takes the co!oui-t's place and is as-iL'ned a residence in some vil lao. while tho colonist takes the con vict's nlace and goes to the mines.
