Tbe sun bad dropped behind the hills and splashed tbe sky wita red. For two hours Susan and Hen ry bad been talking. Gentle reader, do you know what they were talking about? No? Sufllre It to say, what ever tt was, an amirable conclusion had been reached. Susan wis sweet faced and tender, and thai amethys tine tints ot the evening touched her face softly, and the fading light threw a halo about her head. Yet she was no spring chicken. But what odds? Henry had passed all the years of his bachelorhood in a boarding house and couldn't have told spring chicken from old hen to save half his salary. H folded her to his throbbing bosom and then slowly unfolded her. "We shall be happy," he whispered. "Yes, Henry," was her murmured icpiy, "and so harmonious. Whatev er you eay I shall believe, now, hence fottn and for ever." I can never be such a husband aa jO;t deserve, Susan,' 'he almost sighed. "N'o, Henry," she said, "I suppose tint; but at my time of life I can't af ttud to be too particular. Come In rd Mve some supper." And Henry went in. Sketch. A Roland for an Oliver.

Christian Advocate. She Earned It. A good story is told about a cer tain home missionary movement in which every participant was to contri bute a fioiin that she had earned her sei; by hard work. The night of the collection of florins came, and various vsre the stories of the earnings of tho money. One woman had made dresses, another had gone charing, and so on. The chairman turned to the woman in the front row. "Now, madam," srld he, "how did you earn your florin?" "I got it from my hus band," she answered. "Oh," said he; "fiom your husband. There was no 'aerd work about that." The woman smiled faintly. "You don't know my husband," she said. Tatler. An Interesting Occasion. There Is a prominent business man in Baltimore whose present wife Is sut the wife of his youth, nor yet of his early manhood, but the lady of his fourth cnolce. Just before the louith marriage the Baltimore man wis slightly disconcerted when he wa3 approached by one of his numer ous daughters, the offspring of the secud venture into matrimony, who nnively asked: "i'apa, I suppose you're going to allow me to see you married, aren't yon? Yon know, I've never been at any of your weddings!" Exchange. A Careful Patient. A woman whose throat had troubled her for a long time, says a writer In the Philadelphia Public Ledger, grew impatient at the slow progress she wan making, and made complaint to her doctor, who said: "Madam, I can never cure you of this throat trouble unless you stop lalWng, and give your throat a com plete rest." ' But, doctor," objected his patient, "I'm very careful what I say. I never use harsh language, or anything of that kind." Not Worth Much.

MAKING IT PLEASANT FOR THEM. By the Warm Greeting Extended to Mer Guests. Aunt Abigail had consented at last to give her house external treatment for chronic shabbiness. The painters did a good job flnlsn Islilng the front steps last, but forgot to put a board across the balusters to keep persons from running up or down the steps, and the good dame did not observe the oversight. While she was clearing away the supper dishes, an hour or two after the painters had gone, there camo a ring at the front doorbell. Aunt Abigail, full of wrath, has tened to the door and opened it. There stood the pastor and his wife. "I'm delighted to see you, Mr. and Mrs. Baxter," she said, with a frosty smile.

Egypt has been regarded by some people as the laud of pyramid und mummies only, but It bus from time Immemorial had a reputation for onions.' Ancient H.vypUuns swore by the onion and regarded the plant us snored. The Inscription on the pyra mid of Cheops tellM us that the work men bud unions given to them, und from the Bible we loam that the He brews, when slaves under Pharaoh, enjoyed these bulbs, und that when far uwuy they remembered "the leeks and the oniouH nnd the garllo." The Egyp tion onion Is u handsome and useful vegetable, and by selecting the best strains of seed the quality tends, year by year, to improve. The Egyptlun knows two varieties, the "P.aall" mid H'C "Miskaoul," but supplies of tho lat ter kind are seldo-i sent abroad, us they absorb so much moisture from the frequently irrigated ground in which they are grown that they do not stand a sea voyage well. The "BaaH" onion is the more popular Egyptian union and is grown In yellow soil, which is sparingly watered while the bulbs are maturing. In order that the onions may stand it lengthy sea voyage with little risk of sprouting. brup Living In Nornaf, "It Is ii good Hellenic," said n rich man, "to spend the summer In Norway. The Norwegian eliniate Is superb, the scenery Is grand nnd the living Is cheap a dollar a day at the hotels nnd carriages at n half dollar a day.

It is almost Impossible for one who has seen only the eastcrn or Kooky mountain forests to Imagine the woods of the Pueilie coast. Pictures of the big trees are as common as postage stamps, but tbe most wonderful thlug nbout tho big trees is that they are scarcely bigger than the rest of the for est. The Pueltle coast lioars only a tenth of our woodland, but nearly half of our timber. An average acre in the Hooky mountain forest yields oue to two thousand board feet of lumber; in the southern forest, three to four thou sand; iu the northern forest, four to six thousand. An average acre on the Pacific coast yields fifteen to twenty thousand. Telescope the southern nnd Itocky mountain forests, toss the north ern on top of them nnd stuff tbe cen tral Into the chinks, and. uero for acre, the raolfic forest will outweigh them nil.
