In a case just disposed of the Supreme
Court of Iudiaua has decided that a will
made on Sunday is valid. It holds that
the drafting and execution of a will nru
akin to the execution of a marriage con
tract and solemnizing the marriage.
'The statute," the Court notes, "makes
it a penal offense to be louud engaged
in common labor or iu one's usual avoca
tion. It certainly could not be contended
that a minister of the Gospel engaged in
solemnizing a marriage on Sunday, or a
lawyer employed in writing a will to be
exeputed on Sunday, would bo subject to
indictment and prosecution for a viola
tion of the statute."
There is just now a remarkable revival

son will rauk well up with any in the his
tory of this industry iu that State, even
in its uiot palmy days. While last year
there was a marked increase iu building,
this year will outrank it. This may be
in part accounted for by the great ice

MAKE CHILDHOOD SWEET.
Wait not till the little hands are at rest
Ere you fill them full of flowers;
Wait not for the crowning tuberose
To make sweet the last sail hours,
But while in the busy household band
Your darlings still need your guiding hand,
Oh fill their lives with sweetness!
Wait not till the little hearts are still
For the loving look of praise;
But while you gently chide a fault,
The good deed kindly praise.
The word you would speak beside the bier
Falls sweeter far on the living ear;
Oh fill young lives with sweetness!
Ah, what are kisses on cold clay lips
To the rosy mouth we press,
When our wee one flies to her mother's arms
For love's tenderest caress !
It never a worldly babble keep
Your heart from the joy each day should
reap,
Circling young lives with sweetness.
Give thanks, each morn, for the sturdy
boys,
Give thanks for the fairy girls;
With a dower of wealth like this at home,
Would you rifle the earth for pearls?
Wait not for Jjealh to gem Love's crown,
Butdaily shower lifu's blessings down,
And fill young hearts with sweetness.
Itemcmber the homes whore the light has
flod.
Where the rose has faded away
And the love that 'glows in youthful hearts,
Oh cherish it while you may !
And make your home a garden of flowers.
Where joy shall bloom through cliildhood's
hours,
And fill young hearts with sweetneas.

DOROTHY'S PET,
BY IIKF.EN FOHKK8? OKAVES
. "Oh, Neddy, you dear fellow, you love
mo, if no one else iioesl Kiss mc, dar
ling! Bight on the mouth!"
An old red barn, settled in a one-sided
inaniier,down among the tall whito dais
ies and clustering red clover-tops, as one
sometimes sees au old wreck settled
heavily among the drifted scasauds a
monster pine tree spreading its green
leaves above, the July sunshino steeping
all the hills with yellow glory, and Colo
nel Crowninshield. standing, in a bewil
dered manner, just where the farm lane
opened, amid a tangle of elderberry
bushes and blackberry briers, into' the
dusty high road this is tho opening
scene.
Colonel Crowninshield had been walk
ing rapidly ; the black riugs of hair
curled around his temples and the dews
dotted his forehead. Iu his cool summer
dress of white linen, his broad-brimmed
Panama hat and tho knotted bamboo
cane which he carried, he looked like tho
pictures of a Southern planter hand
some, slim and middle-aged.
"Whom on earth is she talking tot" j
he asked himself, as the clear, distinct
utterances of Dorothy Emmcrick caught
his ear.
The color rose to his temples ; a som
bre, jealous light glittered into his eyes.
"Wish me good luck, Ned !" the sweet
voice once more spoke. "I've told you
about it but no one else shall know.
You love mc, Ned, dou't you?"
"It's that good-for-nothing sailor
sweetheart of hers, come back from
South Africa, unkuown to her parents!"
thought the Colonel. "Ought I to in
terfere? She is so young and inexperi
enced, and No, Hal Crowninshield,
old fellow," ho added, setting his strong
white teeth together. "Do you happen
to know, you Paul Pry, what the elev
enth commandment is? Well, it is 'Mind
your own business !' Dorothy Emmcrick
is only nineteen ; you are seven-and-thir-ty.
Leave her to associate with those of
her own age and go you into the society
of your own mature cronies! Yet it
would be something to hear her Bweot
foieo uttering words like that to you."
And ho walked on, ruthlessly cutting
off the white daisies with his cauc, as he
made his way up to tho house.
Five minutes later Dorothy now in at
the back door, a simplo straw toque cov
ering her sunshiny curls, a muslin scarf
wrapped around her shoulders.
"Give ine the package, Pumcla," said
she. "(Juick! I'm late already for the
train. And if I have good luck, you
shall have ft striped shawl, and Noddy
shall have such a new saddle aud bridle !"
The old servant smiled doubtfully as
she gave a small, flat parcel into tho
eager girl's hands.
"You're fairly daft about that stub
born-tempered gray donkey, Miss Doro
thy," said she, "as your pa says ain't
safe for auy woman to ride. All the same,
I hopo you'll have good luck, even if it
wasn t for the striped suuwl tuat I in to
have."
It was lato iu tho afternoon when
Dorothy came slowly up the winding
path that led under bowery apple trees,
and past a thicket of tall poles garlanded
with hop-vines, to the kiteheu door.
All tho brightness had gone out of her
face; tho color had concentrated itself
into two inteuse, burning spots on her
cheeks, aud there was a troubled quiver
in her lips.
Old Pamela read her couuteuauce as if
it had been an open book.
"No luck, eh:" said she.
Dorothy,
"No luck at all!" cried
almost fiercely.
"But what did you do with the
piiturc?"
"I threw it over the edge of Quarry
Cliff as I camo heme from the train,"
admitted Dorothy. "Oh, it did me
good to hear it crash down among the
limestone boulders! Tho idea of my
ever presuming to think that I could be
au artist ! And you'll have to wear your
old shawl, Pamela; aud poor, poor little
Neddy will have no new bridle aud
saddle!"
And Dorothy burst iuto a tempest of
tears, and ran headlong out to the
tumble-down old barn, behind which
the sun was setting gloriously.
"I'll tell Neddy all about it!" cried
she. "I always feci belter after a good
cry on dear little Neddy's gray neck!"
"But, Miss Dorothy "
The gardeu gate slammed so violently
that tho tall red lilies shook as if in a
cyclone, Dorothy was gone.
"I said at the time it was a mean
thing to do," muttered Pamela, Jan
gling her dishes noisily togctlier, "and
I'll keep on saying it till tho year o'
doom. She loves that little gray
donkey they've crowed un together.
Mrs. Emmcrick and she'll rake it awful
hard when she finds he's gone."
"Rut it was such a good offer," said
Dorothy's mother a pale, pink-eyed,
washed-out specimen of humanity--who
sat at a table, shelling peas, "and really
tho beast was unsafo for a woman to
ride."
"Never unsafe for Miss Dot," said
Pnmelu, beating savagely away at a bowl
of egg. "If ever two crceturs under
stood and loved each other, it was her
and Neddy."
"And Mr. Emmerick needed the
money," added tho lady, conclusively.
"It was really a foolish extravagance for
us to keep tho animal. Dorothy is
quite ablo to walk where she wants to
go."
"All tho same," persisted Pamela, "it
was a cruel thing to sell the creeter while
she was gone."
"Sold!" gasped Dorothy, when at last
she realized why tho little gray donkey's
stall was empty, the bars leading to the
highroad let down. "My Neddy!
Mother, why didn't you sell me? But Til
buy him back again, see if I dou't!
Didn't you know that Neddy never could
bo happy away from mc?
Like a whirlwind she rushed ncrossthe
fields to where the Crowninshield man
sion stood grandly up against tho criiu
son sunset sky.
"Colonel Harold," said she, panting
and breathless, "you are rich! Will
you lend me some money? 1 can t pay
it back just yot but I will some day
1 11 work hard and earn it. 1 11 sid.'u a
note, or give a mortgage or something;
but oh, please lend me &100 to-day.
Colonel Crowninshield was sitting at
his desk, writing. lie rose and drew
forward a chair, but Dorothy was by far
too much excited to sent herself.
"It's to buy back my dear little gray
donkey," explained she. "Papa has
sold him, and I do love him so dearly !
Oh, I never, never could part with him.
And I don't know of any one who has
money enough to lend me to redeem him
with except you."
Colonel Crowninshield hesitated a sec
ond ; then he opened his pocketbook and
drew out a crisp, new one-hundred-dol-lar
bill.
Dorothy grasped it as a starving whito
kitten might grasp at food.
"I never saw a one-hundrcd-dollar bill
before," said she. "Oh, thank yob
thank you so much. But I was sure you
would be kind to me."
"May I ask you a question?" said ho.
"As many as you please," she au
swered. "Why didn't you ask Edward Sellcck
for the money?"
Dorothy looked up at hiin with blue,
wide-open eyes.
"Edward Selleck? Why should I ask
him? How could I ask him? Isn't he
cruising somewhere around tho coast of
New South Wales? And Edward belleck,
poor fellow, never had a hundred cents
of his own, much less a hundred dollars."
Colonel Crowninshield colored.
"I beg your pardon!" said he. "I
had an idea you were engaged tD him
that he had returned from his cruise."
"Icngaged to Teddy Selleck? Never!"
"Wasn't it to him you were talking
this morning iu tho red barn?"
Dorothy thought a minute. Then she
burst into a merry peal of laughter.
"Oh, I remember now?" cried she. "I
was thinking out loud to dear little gray
Neddy, the donkey. I often do that.
Ho looks at me just exactly as if he under
stood me. But mother says it's a very
silly habit of mine, and now I see that
she is right. And you you thought I
was talking to a man?"
The sudden scarlet flared up to her
temples, her bluo eyes corruscated like
old mine diamonds.
She flung back the hundred dollar
bill to hiin.
"Take it!" she cried. "I won't have
it now !"
"The little donkey! Ah," exclaimed
tho Colonel, "I see it now! What a
tool, what a dolt I have been ! No, Dor
othy ; you shall not go until you say you
have forgiven mc. And I am the culprit
after all. It was I who bought the gray
donkey. I never supposed that you cared
for hiin. If I had But, Dorothy,
look here!
He threw open a casement draped with
pale yellow Japanes.0 silk, aud just below
the terrace steps she saw her little favor
ite feeding in the plush-like thickness of
tho soft, green grass.
"It was to be a playmate for my sis
ter's children when they came here in
August," said he, "but I comprehend
now how cruel it would bo to part you.
lie is yours once more."
"I won't tako him!" stoutly reiterated
Dorothy. "I I am so ashamed to think
I asked you for that money."
"Why, Dorothy? Canuot you trust
me?"
"Oh, Icau, I can!" she cried, feivent
ly. "I think you must be like Sir
Launcelot, or cveu King Arthur himself,
j Colonel Herold a 'chevalier without
feai and without reproach!' I could trust
j you with anything!"
I "Witl anything?" He advanced a
step or two aud held out his hands cn
' treatiugly. "Well, then, I'll try you?
Will you trust me with yourself! Oh,
little Dorothy, you don't know how truly
aud teuderly I love you! how earnestly I
would strive to make your life a dream of
happiness! Darling, what is your
answer to be? It is true that, compared
with you, I am un old man, but
"You are not old!" cried Dorothy, iu
diguautly. "You're just fpleudid! And
I know I'm only a silly child, but she
came shyly to hiin, anil hid her lace on
his shoulder as she spoke "when I said
1 could trust vou with anything I meant
it all?"
So they became engaged, little Dorothy
and stately Harold Crowninshield.
"But I never shall forget," said the
Colonel, smilingly, "how jealous I was
wlim I fancied I heard you talking to
that discarded sailor love of yours, when,
after all, it was only little gray Neddy?"
"You'll never be jealous again?" said
Dorothy, caressing the plump, mouse
colored quadruped who was nipping
whito clovcl-heads at her fect.
"Never of Neddy, at all events,'' ho
answered. Saturday Right.
Cannon Marie of Leather.
"Let me give you a bit of history,"
paid a downtown leather merchant the
other day, "that many a student, has
overlooked. The objects of peace are
not all that leather figures in, for it is to
leather that we owe the introduction of
light artillery. Leather cannon have
actually been tried on the battlefield,
and, Vhnt is more, turned the tido of
one of the greatest battles of modern
times. The inventor of leathern artillery
was n certain Colonel Kobcrt Scott, a
Scotchman in the service of Charles I., of
England.
"Ho constructed guns of hardened
leather aud experimentally tried them.
The result was that they were pronounced
superior to guns of brass or iron. But
the Colonel did not livo long to enjoy the
greatest triumph of his invention. He
died in 1631, and a monument erected to
his memory I have seen in a churchyard
in London. This monument represents
him as an armor-clad, fierce-looking man
wearing a heavy mustache and pointed
beard.
"In the very year of the Colonel's
death the effectiveness of his leathern
artillery was amply proved on the
memorable field of Leipsic, where,
September 7, 1031, Gustavus Adolphus
nchicved his splendid victory over tho
Imperialists under General Tilly. It is
said that it was owing to the invention
of Colonel Scott that the victory was ob
tained.
"The guns were found to be so easily
carried that a small battery could fly
from one part of tho held to another,
ami thus artillery be brought to bear
where most needed a thing impossible
with the heavy artillery of that period.
Certain it is that leathern artillery was
used in this great battle by Gustavus,
though it is equally certain that the guus
were never used afterward. Tho reason
of that, however, was that the leather
guns having demonstrated tho value of
light artillery, a way was discovered of
making tho metal guns lighter, and the
greater durability of the latter gave tnem
tho superiority." Frank Leslie1!.
Tho "Black Drum" FIsli.
Tho black drum is one of our largest
game fishes, most abundant in the South
ern States, but occurring along the
Jersey coast, and oftcu fouud in the
waters of Stateu Island, where one was
caught last week in Prince's Bay.
The drum belongs to tho fish family,
which, owing to the peculiar structure of
the air-bladder,posscss the power of utter
ing sounds to a greater or less degree.
Other members of the family, such as
the vieakfish, croaker and roncador,make
a grunting sound when boated (although
old fishermen claim to be able to detect
tho presence of a large school of weakfish
by the noise made by them) ; but tuo
sound of tho drum is tho loudest, and
can be very distinctly heard at a distance.
The croak of tho ubiquitous sea robin,
which does not, however, belong to this
family, is familiar to all who have ever
wet a line in the bay.
During the breeding season of the
drum this noise is more pronounced than
at any other time, tho males calling to
the females, who respond in lower toues ;
and at night, while feeding on the oyster
and mussel bods, which provide their
principal food, tho fish seem to grunt
their satisfaction with the repast. Their
strong, pavement-like teeth, work sad
havoc with the oysters, and forty years
ago this July tho oyster planters of
Prince's Bay and other near-by waters
lost their entire crop, owing to the
descent upon their beds of vast schools
of this fish. Since then they have
not put iu an appearance in such num
bers, although tho damage done by them
is considerable, as they seem to take de
light in crushing the oysters, even
though they may not requiro them for
food. Xein York 1'imes.
Getting the Peach's Best Flavor.
The Delaware peach is a noble fruit.
"You people who live in thecities don't
know the real taste of a peach," said an
old-timer of Delaware as he drove
through the orchards of Kent County be
hind his favorite white horse, iutont on
showing tho visitor what tho couutry
looked like.
"You mean that picking early for
market robs tho peach of its best flavor?"
was asked.
"That's it," said the old-timer. "Wo
have to pick peaches from three to six
days before they are really ripe, so as to
, get them to market. Now, a peach will
j grow more iu the last three days before
' it is fairly ripe than iu two weeks at any
! other time. To know what a peach really
is you want to tako it from the tree after
I it has hung until it is dead ripe. Our
i folks have a way of preserving peaches
j for their own use, which beats anything
I you get irom tho canneries or tho dryiug
I houses. They take tho peaches when
they are full ripe and aJiout to drop.
They halve them and lay them on a board
iu the sun. Before the juice is dried out
the halves are packed down in layers,
with a good layer of sugar between every
two layers of fruit. Tho process is a
good deal like that of preserving figs,
only the layers of peaches are nut pressed
asthefisare. Peaches put up this way
keep right along. You put cream on
them when you get ready to cat them,
and you have got something good."

cream of powdefed nlnm nnd half an
ounce of cream of tartar. Put them into a
large whitcware pitcher and pour on two
quarts of water; stir frequently until tho
mixture is entirely dissolved. Then
transfer tho solution to clean bottles nnd
cork them lightly. Shako the bottle
well before using. Pour some of the
liquid into a bowl, and wash the silver
all over with it, using an old fino linen
cloth. Let it stand about ten minutes
and then rub dry with a buckskin. It
will make the silver look like new Chi

KATKINS FOTt EVERT KIND OF FOOD
A napkin for every kind of food that
is to bo served hot seems to be a require
ment of the day, and to decorate these
napkins in a suitable fashion seems to be
a pleasant pastime for needle-loving
women. The fish napkin, made some
what longer than the length of the plat
ter, is plain in tho centre, and cmbroid
crcd at the ends in tiny shells, seaweeds
nr lirnn ehinr coral. The ends may, in
addition, be frimred or only hemmed
An eirr nankin is pretty, embroidered
with chickens in different shades of yel
low silk, nnd a corn napkin with ears of
corn, partly opened, so that tho grain and
silk appear. As there is not so much poetry
in a realistic potato, a nonscusc riiymu,
nr tho flower and viue of the potato are
wrought across the potato napkin, aud
the snuares of linen laid on tiie uuuer
dish may be embroidered with grasses or
disks representing butter onus iu wuuu
or gold. A napkin for hot biscuit, which
is reallv moro of a necessity than any
of these pretty fancies, may bo dcckci
with flowers or a line from the poets or
"nrosiets" iu regard to bread. Atlanta

TO BEAT AN EOG.
Any child knows how to beat an egg,
which is truo so far as that any one by
dint of patience and a fork can lieat au
egg to a froth, but one person will tako
fitteen miuutcs nudhavo it less light than
another in five. Tho one will beat fast,
carrying tho fork, but entangling very
little air; the other will lift tho egg, as
it were, and throw it over the fork. This
is the proper way, and does tho work in
half the time. Acquire tho habit of beat
ing eggs, or, in fact, anything else, from
the elbow, not usiug the whole. arm ; the
fatigued will be much lessened. The use
of egg-beaters has made egg-bcatiug for
cakes, such a formidablo task iu out
mother's days, a very light ono iu ours,
but for beating just ono egg a fork, even
now, is often most convenient. Even
with a beater, however, the best results
are obtained by observing certain rules.
In hot weather leave the eggs in ice
water or on ice for some timo before
using. It is not a gooa piau, nowevi-i,
to keep all your eggs on ice, because they
then become so thoroughly cniiieu tnai iu
boiliuor them you cannot cstimnto the
time required, and should they become
frosted thev are inferior tor an purposes.
In beating the whites of eggs a tiny pinch
of salt will teudto facilitate the' work.

KISMETI
The dear old story; we were bound to meet
Urxm the pathway that we folks call lire;
Your eyes sought mine, your heart sought
mine, my sweet.
And all my being rose to call you wife!
Each lived for each ; we made a world apart
From all the busy, weary haunts of men;
Hand within hand, and loving heart to heart.
We lived beyond the world both now and
then.
The years have passed, but on the hearts of
each.
In spite of stormy weather, rain, and wind,
Where never hand of mortal man may reach,
A talisman is graven, sure and kind
Kismet I 'Tis written there in golden type.
Oil, happy . truth '.Oh, blessed, blessed
fate!
Through autumn's glows, from youth's bright
mem'ries ripe,
We've lived and loved, and lor the future
wait !
