Y BKIIKKI.EY ROBINSON-.
"Pmklebi ny. I lienrd a charming
young widow Miy the other day that all
i . i i , ...
imcueiors were oears ami that you were
the 'Ursa .Major' of the lot the biggest
wear oi an,
"Humph ! Hang widows, I say !"
"les, she said that any man who
would live a bachelor's life in such a
pretty place as yours and put up notices
on tho grouuds warning off trespassers
ought to be caught iu a trap and put out
oi ineir misery.
" ell, you can tell her for mo thnt I
think the native East Indians the most
sensible people iu tho world. AVhen a
married man dies there they burn his
widow on a wood pile and get rid of her
at once. If thnt were in the law here
wo would all be more comfortable,
detest widows, anyhow!"
Squire Burnham reported this conver
sation, with a few rhetorical additions,
it me tea-tahlo of his sister-iu-law
pleas.mt-faccd maiden lady, who eked
out a rather narrow income by taking
half a dozen summer boarders. Her
house, long and low and old-fashioned
nnd shaded by a grovo of ancient cherry
trees, was ono of the oldest in the pretty
little village of Edgewood, but it de
lighted all strangers by its picturesque
surrmimuugs.
The show place of the village was the
handsome stone mansion of Mr. Pinkle
bcrry, who was reputed to be the richest
man in the township and who, as the
neighbors said with disgust, had "neither
chick nor child to leave his money to."
To speak more truthfully, his would have
been the show place if he had permitted
visitors within his gates, but ho nevei
entertained any strangers at his house,
the notices against trespassing which were
conspicuously posted up over every en
trance to his grounds kept away those
who would have been glad of u nearer
view of his residence and of a sight of his
household furnishings and treasures which
common report had fabulously enlarged
and overvalued.
All the boarders were present at Miss
llai kins's ten-table when Squire Buruhani
repeated his conversation with Mr.
Pinklcberry. "Tho monster!" said the
Widow Smith, whose two sprightly
daughters from the metropolis had made
themselves recognized ut Edgewood as
the belles of the seasou. "He ought to
be married to an old maid who would
nag the life out of him." said the elder
daughter, and Hanging would be too
good for him," chimed iu the younger.
Indeed, it might have gone hard w ith the
woman-hating bachelor had this bevy of
ladies I een uiadc the jury with power to
administer to him such punishment as a
feminine Judge Lynch should decide
upon.
There was one lady present who lis
tened to the discussion with a quiet micu
but an ominous flashing of her hazel eyes.
She had been staying at the house" for
nearly a month, but no ono kuew any
thing about the bright, pretty little wo
man of twenty-five, whoso face was al
ways demure, but her conversation was
sparkling and witty, except that her
name was Wiley, the fact that she was
a guest there was sutticieut evidence if
her respectability, aud her manners gave
the best of evidence to her good birth
aud breeding. But the young ladies had
all along beeu puzzled to know whether
she was the rival they most feared in
their flirtations a widow. Iu vain they
had applied to Miss Harkins for informa
tion. That lady was accustomed to
siieak, in tho village vernacular, even of
the most venerable of married ladies as
"Miss Smith" or "Miss Brown," and she
answered their queries by saying: "Luw,
me! I've something better to do than go
asking Mi-s Wiley if she has ever buried
a husband or not !"
It was a few days after this heaping of
feminine auatheuiHS on the head of Mr.
Pinklcberry that this gentleman made his
appearance at the boarding house tocou
ault Miss Harkins iu reference to the pro
posed purchase of n portion of her hind
which lay contiguous to his own. When
the conference had been concluded the
two walked out on the front piazza
where the pretty little w idow ( for we may
as well confess here that "Miss" Wiley
was "a wiiiow indeed ') sat iu a camp
chair buily crocheting iu worsted. Mr.
Pinklcberry nodded a bare acknowledg
ment of the introduction, which MUs
Harkins gave him to ".Miss AViley," but
as he did so must have found the picture
presented to his eyes a rao4 entrancing
one aud, to be sure, lie might have
journeyed fifty miles without meeting a
more attractive face and figure for he
paused, and, leaning against a pillar,
with his hands in his pockets and his hat
on his head, watched Iter busy, dainty
fingers for a full minute before ha spoke.
"Stranger here.'" at last asked the
rich man cf Edgewood, iu a patronizing
fashiou.
The lady looked up with a turpi ited
rathtr than haughty air, and looked the
Iroa-eUd bachsler aquutly la thi tu.
"Did you spenk to me, sir?"
'Yes, miss, I asked if you wcro a
stranger in our pnrts."
"Oh, I beg pardon. T am a stranger
to some of tho X'ople, I am glad to say,
but to nono of your beautiful scenery,
except that which is kept urder lock and
key."
"Inner lock and key, Miss AViley!
AVhst do you mean?"
"V'hy I mean tho prettiest place in
Edgewood is kept shut lip like a prison
by tho horrid old man who owns it. He
can't enjoy it himself and he's too mean
to let others enjoy even a glimpse of it.
I wish I had the chance to pay him off;
Id"
Here tho pretty little widow paused in
real or pretended anger that brought a
most becoming blush to her cheek, nnd
venomously clenched a list that was
scarcely large enough to annihilate a
inosh.
Mr. Pinklcberry laughed in ft manner
that was intended to be pleasant, but was
uot altogether reassuring nnd then asked :
'M'Do you know the owner of tho prop
erty that, you speak of?"
A'No, I am glad to say that I do not.
uoyou?"
"AVell yes." The two words were
uttered some distance apart.
"What do you thiuk of him?"
"I dunno," said the rich man, remov
ing his hat and rather excitedly rubbing
the thin hair on to) of his head. "Sup
pose I usk you what you thiuk of him."
"If would take ton long aud I don't
care enough about him to express nn
opinion. Of course he's a dog in the
manger, disagreeable and hatetul gener
ally. I suppose he has been guilty of
3ome mean net or crime at some time in
his life nnd is so afraid people will find it
out that ho will not let them come into
his house. For all I know he may have
beeu a bank cashier at some time and
came here by way of Canada, or n
'boodlo Alderman,' whatever that is, or
has made his money by some such equally
honest fashion and is afraid, to brazen it
out. There must bo some strong reason,
you know, for a man in his sober senses
to live the life of a bear without having
the excuse of having been born w ith four
legs."
"But, my dear young lady, are you not
nfraid to aygw such sentiments? Don't
you know that the owuer is said to bo a
very wealthy man, unmarried und the
best 'catch' in town?"
"AA'hat of it, my dear old gentleman?
AA'hnt can I possibly care for a catch who
is n quadruped and a disagreeable one;
"But suppose some one should repeat
vour remarks to him. It would spoil
your market there, sure.
"No one need report what I say. I
will be most happy to give him my
opinion personally. And let me add that
when the women get the power to make
the laws, the first thing we will do will
be to pass a law creating the death pen
alty for nil old bachelors."
"If I sec him I will tell him, miss.
No doubt he will feel flattered, but I'm
nfraid, after what I've heard this morn
ing that I cannot conscientiously advise
him to marry uot immediately, any
how. Good morning."
The widow rose and executed an elabo
rate courtesy. But scarcely had Mr.
Pinklcberry driven away than Miss Har
kins appeared ou the piazza iu a curious
state of agitation, only to be met by peal
ufier peal of laughter from the widow,
who did not seem to reflect that its sil
very echo might even reach tho ears of
her recent visitor.
"AA'hat have you done, Miss Wiley?
Didn't you know that you were talking
to Mr. Pinklebeery ! And to thiuk of
you giving him such an awful laying
out! Aud I had thought when I intro
duced him to you that he might take n
shine to you. Law me, Miss AViley, if
you niu't just awful!"
The pretty litile widow laughed more
than ever, and even Miss Harkins ut last
began to smile.
"Well, anyhow, one man's heard the
truth about himself," the cider lady said,
"and I will never be the one to let him
know that you knew who he was all the
time. 'Only he'll be worse than ever
uow."
Certainly the ladies at the house were
exceedingly surprised, and Miss Harkins
most of all, when, a few days later, Mr.
Pinklcberry drove to the door in a light
phaeton, a.-ked for "Miss AViley" aud in
vited her to take a drive with him.
"Perhaps you may bo afraid to drive
with me, now that you know who I am,"
he said, with a touch of malice.
"That is tine," responded the widow,
gravely. "It might not be of any advan
tage to me to bo seen iu company with
Mr. Pinklcberry, and I ought to decline.
Permit me to go aud consult Miss Has
kins." "But stay a moment, Miss AViley, aud
tell me if you do not think that you owe
me something in the way of a salve for
your terrific onslaught upon men iu gen
eral aud myself in particular? I throw
myself upon your mercy and appeal to
your womanly generosity. This is un
appeal you canimt resist."
The villagers were struck dumb with
amazement at the sight of Bachelor Pinklc
berry driving at n high rate of speed
through tho main street and afterward
through his own grounds iu company w ith
a young aud pretty woman. But it was
a sight to which they hail to grow accus
tomed during the month that followed.
The men smiled sagely and wairircd their
heads anil said that "Old Pink'' would
be put on a short allowance of night-key
soon, and the women asked, without a
smile, "Who would have thought it that
a bold baggage from uo-ouc-knows-where'
should come to Edgewood and
caiTV oft the biggest prize in the mar
ket f"
On one of these drives toward the
close of the month the pretty little w idow
remarked, with just the suspicion of a
sigh, that she dreaded packing up, but
she really must go home soon. It was
upon this hint that Mr. Piukl"beny
spoke and made her au offer of his love
aud fortune. He did not lio it badly,
either. The widow smiled as he began,
but she grew thoughtful as he proceeded,
and told her the story of his life that
hit early manhood had beta wreckai by
marrir.it, to an uowsrthj ckjctind thnt
this had embittered him against tho sex.
Then, with a humility and emotion sh
had not suspected in him, he thanked
her for her frankness in telling him when
first they met just what she thought of
him, and so letting him see the wretched
existence he was leading. There was a
trembling to his voice and tears in the
widow's eyes when he had finished.
"Mr. Pinklcberry," she said, "I have
deceived you, though not intentionally
on that point I am a widow."
It was unquestionably a shock, but
Mr. Pinklcberry stood it. bravely.
"No matter for that," he said ; "I am
a widower.
Mr. Pinklcberry, you once said nnd
not long ago, either thnt all widows
should be burned on a funeral pyre."
Mr. Pinklcberry looked confused for
a moment. 1 hen a bright idea suddenly
struck him.
But diil I never hear vou sav that the
death penalty ought to be passed on all
unmarried men?"
It came to the widow's turn to be non
plussed, and she was really embarrassed.
Recovering herself with something of n
struggle, she said: "Before I had ever
seen you I made a vow that I would ex
ert all my endeavors to lead you on until
you made nn offer of yourself to me, nnd
that then I would ignominiously reject
you. I wanted to prove to you that
widows were not the worst of their sex
that wealth was not the bait to catch a
heart and that I must be wooed and won
with love alone. Knowing all this, dare
you love me?"
"I do, nud "
"I made a vow to reject you and I must
keep it."
"May I suggest a compromise. Vio
let?" "Violet? Yi u presume, sir. Ucmcm
bcr, I am a widow.
"I must forget the widow and remem
ber Violet. Mv compromise would be
that you reject the man who stood before
you on the day we first met and accept
the man in whose heart you have renewed
tho image and superscription of his
Maker."
The witching widow was silent for a
long minute, then she turned with wet
eyelids, placed her hand iu his and said
softly, ! will."
As n tame bear, Mrs. Pinklcberry frc
quently remarks that her husband is i
success. Xeie York Mrrvwry.
Irrigation in Dakota.
The I'uited States Senate Irrigation
Committee, of which Senator Stew art ot
Nevada is Chairman, held a session nt
Sioux Falls. Dakota, in which statement!
were submitted by gentlemen interested
in irrigation. The principal speaker win
Professor Lewis Maclouth, President ol
the South Dakota Agricultural College
at Hrookmgs.
There were hundreds of artesian wells,
he said, in the valley of the James I liver,
each including a large flow of water from
an average depth of 1000 feet. The
power thus obtained was now utilized to
run steam presses, electric-light dynamos,
mills and factories. An inexhaustible
supply of water nnd of water power could
therefore be had in tins valley by an in
crease in the number of artesian wells
Some of the wells already flowing gave
out 4000 gallons a minute. If the yearly
flow of those wells could be saved anil
stored in reservoirs, to be used as needed,
so as to supply in the growing season the
deficiency iu the natural raiufall, it would
add enormously to the development ol
agriculture and turn the entire James
Hiver Valley into a luxuriant garden.
One thousand such wells, Professor Mac
louth says, would add 100,000,000 tc
the value of the laud iu that region.
The committee saw the working of an
artesian well that supplies water mid wa
ter power to this city. Four large hose
pipes were connected with the street
hydrants, and threw into the air a stream
of water eighty feet high. Xeu York

The Half .Moon of the Finger Null.
The half-moon of the finger nail, which
is esteemed so great a beauty, if carefully
attended to, will increase in time, and
even w here it has beeu almost obliterated,
will grow to be very beautiful. Many
people think that pushing the skin back
from the nail will show it more, mid that
by this practice the delicate hem, as we
call it, which holds the upper and under
skins together, is totally destroyed, and
the ends of the fingers have an ugly yel
low growth encircling the nail instead of
the delicate framework which nature in
tended. Then the way in which the nail
is cut can totally change the shape of the
fingers. By cutting the nails close at
the sides and keeping the corners from
adhering to the skin, hang nails cau bo
avoided. AVhere the nails are thiu aud
inclined to break, frequent oiling is nec
essary, and the nails should never be
polished except w hen some oily substance
is used beside the powder. This keeps
the nails more pliable, and no matter how
thin they are, if properly treated, they
are no more liable to break than richer
ones. Another thing that is bail for the
nails is polishing them too roughly.
They should be lightly touched aud not
rubbed until they become heated. This
is one cause of w hite spots coming on the
nail nud marring- its beauty. MiJiotl

To Identify a Diamond.
A ready way of identifying a diamond
is given by an expert: Prick a needle
hole through a card, and look at it through
the doubtful stone. If it is spurious, two
holes will be seen distinctly on the caul;
if it is a diamond only one hole w ill be
visible, for there i no other stone at all
resembling the diamond but that give
a double rcfirctiou. This property is also
made use of for determining an uncertain
stone. If the finger is placed behind it,
Hiid looked at through the stone with a
magnifier, the grain id the skin will In
plainly visihle. if the stone is not a dia
mond, but otherwise, it will Dot be ilu
tinguUhed at all. A diamond in a bolid

way; if genuine, the setting at the back
cannot be dUtinguUhed, but if a falii

HOW TO EAT BAKAXA9.
Ordinarily in this countty bananas are
eaten raw, my the American AiHtlynf , but
in tropical countries, while the natives
cat them in like fashion, a more delicate
and, it is said, a more healthy mode of
eating them is in vogue. The soft, ripe
fruit, eaten to a (-renin w ith a sufficiency
of Amontillado sherry, forms a delight
ful appetizer, and is the- favorite way of
eating the banana in certain parts of the
West Iudies and of tho African cot.
Taken iu moderation nt first rising in the
morning, bananas nre said to be preser
vative of health, and in this respect nre
in marked contrast with other tropical
fruits, which aro detrimental, rather than
otherwise, to continued good health. Au
intoxicating driuk is made from the ba
nana, and on account of its astringent
qualities is of considerable medical value.
Iu Africa, nnd probably iu other places
also, the banana and the kindred tree,
the plantain, are in a very largo measure
the sole dependence for the food sup
ply of natives. The banana, when
ripe, contains 71 per cent, water; of
the 20 remaining parts, 20 nre sugar and
two gluten or flesh-forming substance.
It is not in itself a perfect food, but re
quires the addition of some other nitro
genous material, as lean meat. The pulr.
of the banana, but more often of the plan
tain, is ofttimes squeezed through n sieve
and formed into loaves, which, when ripe,
will keep a very long time. In a dried
state it has the resemblance of bread,
both in taste nnd composition, but the
ripened pulp is saccharine, and not farin
aceous. At Pannmn tho rarest and most
delicious of tho banana species has its
home. Small nnd ruddy in color, il
is popularly known as the thumb banana,
and on account of its delicate flavor it i
prized even there. It does not beai
transportation well, although it. may often
be found in the markets of Chicago nnd
New York. Crossing the isthmus by tht
line that connects Panama with Aspiu
wall, the natives of the villages along the
route make a habit of coming to the train,
decked in primitive, fashion, with gar
lands of flowers nround their necks and
flowers in their hair, and disposing of the
fruit. Hero the thumb banana may be
eaten iu its perfection.

"Lulu played two summery
Little Bee, one"
Buoh the tender legend . ,
That was traced upon a stone)

Of a graveyard, gray and lone.

In the darling days a-gone , .

Little Bee, one."
I was but a boyish stroller
Of the fields when first I read
The quaint and tearful record
On that t jblet to the dead;
I have passed the chiseled marbles
Stretched skyward to the sun.
To muse upon the meaning
Of the mystic lines that run;
"Lulu played two summers,
Little Bee. one."
I did not understand it then,
Hut now 'tis all so clear,
God knows my foolish fancy needs
No cold interpreter;
O, poet-mother ! never bard
That ever breathed has spun
A strain of sweeter pathos
Than your poor heart has done
