' , Mo reply in words, but the poor pale face was hidden upou the pillow with a great sob, aud a little tlun hand stole into the mother's, pleadingly. Mrs. Thornton caressed the hand and put it to her lips.

Mrs. Thornton continued: "Would that you had never seen Frank Merrifield ! He forsook you in poverty, and even when the far greater sorrow of your poor father's death came upon us, be gave us not one sympathizing word! O Ethel, think no more of him, but rather try to reward the true and devoted love that has proved so true a friend to us. I)r.

Ethel took it j out ; it wai her own picture. "Mamma, mamma, look here, and the poor girl's trembling fingers clutched at a scrap of newspaper that was fluttering to the ground. f , what is this ?" Iknding their heads together they read the following notice : "Married. On June 4th, at Grace I CburelL, Henry Kollins, Esq., to Mi3 Ethel ! Thornton. Immediately after the cere- i mony the happy couple started on a bridal tour." Mrs. Thornton looked up in bewilder ment, j "Why, what is that doing here?" said j she.

The other morning a citizen called at a hardware store 011 Woodward avenue and he wanted a key to a cer tain door in his house, and he took up and carried away almost the first key handed out to him. On his way down town after dinnci he stopped and ex changed the key for another, explain ing that the first wouldn't fit. These exchanges took place twice a day for the next four days, the citizen being unable to get bold of a key to fit. On the sixth day he drove up to the store with a door on a dray, and calling '.o the proprietor he said : 'Bring your box of keys out here and we'll get a fit to that lock. Here I have been running back and forth for about a week, and I might not. have got a fit for a whole month if my wife had not suggested that 1 bring the door down here, riome ot these women are mighty smart." "But why didn't yon take the lock off the door and bring it down in your pocket?" asked the dealer. The buyer looked at him in a vacant way, stared bard at the door, and sat down on .the curbstone with the re mark: "It's a wonder that the whole family wasn't sent to the fool-house ten years ago." : Dew Hunting- la the Adirondack. At seven the hunters are off. Three or four dogs are started on as many trails by the hunters, who often take long tramps through the thick woods tor that purpose. Generally, however it tafca only a few minutes to find a track, and the dog starts, bsytng as he fcoesat irregular intervals on the trail made, perhaps, the night before. He wander about uncertainly for a time, is the deer has fed, and then goej off straight aud quickly out or hearing be hind some wooded bill. The hunter knows then that the deer has left off feeding; that the dog has not roused him as yet, but that he is probably Iy inxt rest after his night's travel So the hunter uses his ears Instead cf hU eyes; he listens for the lost founds. The sir is full af murmurs; now he thinks he hears the dog: but it is only some great fly buzzing rods away.

At the present time the United i States is making more than one third of i all the paper made in the world. The 1 product is about 1,830 tons daily, amou 11 ting to about 640, 500 tons a year. There are now K7 millr, representing a capital of at least f 100,000,000. These mills employ 22,000 persons, who draw about f9.C30.000 In salaries per year, It is estimated that the entire paper interest, including manufacturing, printing and publishing, furnishes em ployment to 75,000 persons. Xew York makes the most paper. Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and Ohio rank next in order named. The growth of this in dustry has been very rapid of late 1 gracciui manner 10 ne leet; ins auer years in the Western States.

The richer the dress the less beeom- of the paper trade during those years, and since that time the growth bus becn so rapid and has assumed such enormous proportions mat it now ranks among the greatest industries ol the age. The use of straw and wood as ingredients has been largely instru mental in its growth and advance. Im provements in paper making machinery are constantly being made, will -h lessen the labor and tend to cheapen aud nerfect the manufacture of paper. Taper now enters very largely into the manufacture or many of the most useful and necessary articles, and new discoveries ot its utility re daily being m ide. TI12 different grades and qualities of paper number at least twenty-five, aud vary from the finest writing, to the coarsest rooflug and sheathing paper. Of these numerous grades newspaper stock is most largely made, but writing and book papers represent the largest capital, and are the most important branches of the trade. Our fine papers now equal, if they do not excel, the finest grades of paper produced in Etirpe, and they are being daily improved upon. Of wood pulp pajier also it is estimated that about o-'.UOU tons per year are made. Withiu the past five years the paper trade has suffered in the general de pression of business. The prices have been very low, and the d tin aud small compared with former years; but within the past year the trade has re vived consl Jerably, and though the prices still rale' low, the demand has increased, aud more hojiefiil feeling exists in the market. Il is not probable that there will be more than a slight advance, if any in prices, for at least a jfew years to come; but as the con sumers are enlarging ineir orders, mills which have been standing idle have begun running again, ami a gen eral revival of the traic is predicted. !

Both climate and landscape are subject to rapid variations. From the glare of an overpowering sun one may enter the cool shade of a tropical garden, with the murmur of water trickling past as it wanders among the groves of oranges, figs and palm. The bare treeless plain may bechanged In a very short spaee for pine forests c-f magnificent trees; instead of sand and dust, we trample on bracken lern by the side of rills and torreu's running in steep gorges.
