snuke with a charming frankness,
that made Miss Nelliston smile back in the
L.velv, gulish face.
"And w hat may your plans be, Addie?
Of course it is a s-ttled question that you
shall take New York by storm. You know,
uf course, also, that your pretty face will
secure tLat haipiness to you. But further
than that, what, little mischief maker ?"
She looked fondly, proudly, at Addie,
whose dusky eves were glowing like stars.
Oh, ouly my arrangement for the chief
end of woman marriage ! I tell you, El
lie. I am going to make my hay while tbe
sun chines in other wolds, while I am in
New York. 1 am going to secure some rich
oh, some awluiiy rich fellow, who can
just smother me with diamonds and dresses
and five me ail the money I want enough
to buy even thing 1 can think of !
Jliss Neliiston laughed at the girl's hon
est enthusiasm.
"You rapacious little cormorant ! You
certainly have erected a very ambi lous
standard, but I cannot see who or where the
dtsiraUe party is. 1 am quite sure you
deserve jitt what you want, dear; but the
question is. can you gt it ?"
Addie shrugged her pretty shoulders.
"KUe, 1 shall get it ! 1 know just ex
actly my own worth. Now don't put me
down as a vain, silly creature, because I
frankly admit 1 regard myself good-look-iD

"Indeed you ought, my darling. And
if I could, 1 would conjure one to order for

win the highest and best in the land.'
And she was very beautiful and all the
more so that she it as not in the least rain
of her charms.
landing there, beside the dressing mir
ror, in her evening dress of delicate pink
siik, with her fair, white arms bared just
below the dimpied elbow, the dainty hands
cased in creamy kids, the joyous, nappy
face, nLose features were so exquisite,
iioe complexion was so richly warm and
satiny in its pale, brunette beauty, whose
eyes were so deep'y dusk, and lustrous,
aud eager Addie Arlington was certainly
sweet ex ouch, and winsome enough to
warrant Mis Nelliston's loving assertion.
"if only there was anybody rich enough,
in or about New Y'ork, unmarried, to sat
isfy you, childie 1"
Addie laughed.
"I'll tell you a secret, Eilic. I'm going
to take my tort by storm ; and when you
see me the betrothed bride of an English
milord, Eilic "
Jliss elliston gave a gasp of positive
horror at the girl s audacity.
"Addie Arlington, you don't mean you
actually have designs on the illustrious
guest that the Van liensellaer- are expect
ing the English uoij'tanaa all New York
is on the 'yut vivc about !''
The gin's silvery laugh accompanied a
very defiantly positive shake of her silken
skirts, as if that graceful little gesture added
incontrovertible emphasis.
"Exactly, cousin Ellie. You needn't
not so horrified. 1 m sure the prospect
in uavmg a Lady Grosvenor in the family
ought to deliitul you.''
liut Miss ieiiiston was too taken aback
to appreciate the prospective honor.
"Addie, how wild you talk ! The idea!
uy, you never have seen him ; von don't
know whether he is young or old, a gentle
or a not a gentleman. Suppose he is
old, and fat, and ugly, and short breathed
like apa"s British friend, Sir William

"1'hechaiming estate everybody knows
Lord Grusvcnor owns, and his rent-roll of
a hundred thousand dollars a year, and bis

fie glared at the nnmnsnmM tjervpt at
his and Addie's eyes with a scowl that de-
'fiuiea tier.
"lou re not to be supposed to see any
'uasLuune attraction beyond your own,
reddie. But if he's only an engineer
lark! that's our wallx."
And or! they glided, a faint flush on
Addie s cheeks, as Air. Melton's handsome
blue eyes caught hers and held her glance
econa, despite herself.
That was the way it beican ; and a month
later, when New Yoik society was stirred
to its soul by the deferred advent of Lord
Cuthbert Urosvenor, Miss Kelliston won
dered why it was that Addie's enthusiasm
had so completelv died out.
''You're a mystery to me, Addie," she
said, as they drove home from the crush at
Mrs. Van Kensellaer'a, on the occasion of
Lord tiros venoi's complimentary reception.
And, for the first time, Addie's reply
was a little sharp :
"I don't see where the mystery is, I'm
sure. V hatever there is about a little, fat.
bald headed old man to admire, I can't see.
'Uut be a a lord all (he same, Addie.
"No. it's not ail the same at all, Ellie I
How insufferably hot the rooms were to
night! 1 have the most wretched head
ache."
Tbe next afternoon, a magnificent coach
and pair, with the armorial bearings of the
house of till ver land Lord Grosvenors il
lustrious family with coachman and foot'
man, in bis lordship's livery of silver and
maroon, drew up at Miss Nelliston's door,
and tbe iittle, fat, pufly old gentleman de
scended, to pay his compliments to the
prettiest girl ot the night before the only
girl who had at all interested him Addie
Arlington.
Alter that well. Ellie hardly knew Ad
die, so variable and capricious she grew ;
now in the wildest spirits, again dejected
aud petulant : until one day there came, by
one of tbe livened servants, a written pro
posal of marriage, on a satiny sheet of
paper, bearing a crest aud a monogram in
silver and maroon, and signed in a little
crabbed, spidery hand "Urosvenor" a let
ter that offered her. in a very gentlemanly,
unenthusiastic way, all the grand, good
things that it had been her sole aim in life
to possess and enjoy.
While by mail, not ten minutes later,
had come another letter, that made the girl's
heart thrill, and all her pulses stir, as she
read the passionate prayer for herself to be
given to the man who loved her Philip
Melton, with his handsome face, and his
salary as an engineer.
For several hours, Ellie wondered what
Addie was doing, so long alone in her room;
and then, by-and-by, she came softly down
stairs, a sweet flush on her face, a tender
pride in her eyes, a thrill of perfect content
in her voice.
Ellie, dear, I want to tell you. I have
refused Lord Grosveuor's offer of marriage,
and accepted Philip."
And without a question, Ellie put her
arms about the sligut form, and kissed her.
"You have done right,' she said, simply,
gravely.
"if you will permit me, might I ask
why you decline my offer I" Lord Urosve
nor said, an hoir later, when, her gentle
refusal having reached him by messenger,
he post-basted to the house.
And Addie's lips trembled with actual
happiness and pride as she answered, with
a sweetness that was charming :
"Because, sir, I 1 loved Mr. Melton
best. You won't be angry I"
"Air. Melton ! A fellow on a salary 1"
"Pardon Die, my lord a gentleman,
rich in nobility, in goodness, anil in love
forme."
"Oh, that's it ! But about the money I
Miss Arlington, there is not a wish in the
world that, shall remain a moment un-
gratiMd, that money can procure, if you
will honor me.
I shall want only what Philip can give
me, sir.
l is kindky eyes twinkled good-naturedly.
"Then, Miss Arlington, am I to consider
your answer absolute t You positively de
cline to become Lady Urosvenor, to live at
bilverland Park, to be a leader of London
society I"
he smiled sweetly, proudly.
'I am sure I have decided. 1 thank you
for the great honor you have paid nit! I
shall be proud of it a1! my life, but I csi-
not, because 1 love P hilip Melton more than
all the world and what is in iu"
'Addie, my true little darling! Addie,
little love!"
And Philip Melton stepped out from
behind the curtains of tbe bay window,
and took her in bis arms, his handsome
face all smiling and pioud, as he turned to
Lord Urosvenor.
"i told vou so, sir ! She loves me, and
is true and sweet in ner loyalty to the man
she loves ! Addie, perhaps you will not
mind so very much that, after ar, you
will be Ladv Grosvenor some day f c or
Lord Urosvenor here is my father, and I
am Philip Melton bilverland, next in suc
cession. Addie, you wui not oe angry w un
us tor our little ruse ? We bad heard you
were so desperately determined to marry
money, and the moment 1 saw you I knew
there was a heart that would conquer am
bition a heart I wanted to conquer on my
own merits."
Addie listened, bewildered, and Lord
Grosvenor lautthed.
'Bless your bnght eyes, child: iou
nearly tempted me to be treacherous to
Silverland there. But you'll not refuse me
for a father-in-law. I hope!
And, in her almost royal home, Addie
is happy as the summer days are long and
shining.
LMratng to Stow.
To be handy with tbe needle, is one of the
sterling accomplishments ot every educated
woman. To be able to take the "suicu in
time." is worth all the time and trouble
that are reauired to learn the art. Like
walking, reading, and maty omer tmngs
which we come to do without special
thought, the learning to sew is a alow pro
cess, and should be begun while the child
is still auite voune. 1 be girl suouia noi
only have the use of the thread, needless
and Dslchwork. but be instructed how to
take the stitches, turn uie corners, ami uu
- i -
various thines connected with neeoie-Kora.
We are no excluding the boys in our re
marks, because they need lo learn to thread
a needle, and do general sewing. Men are
many times so situated tnal uiey mus ue-
pend upon themselves ior ineir nwawj
Hwinir. Even if it is an age of sewing
machines. It is best that all children should
learn to use the simple, common old-fashioned
kind, which can never be wholly w-
pe reeded. The amusement ana occupation
that sewing furnishes little foik afford
sufficient reason why all mothers should
see that their girls, and boys too, learn to
.w hut the verv practical use of the
needle in after life is the principal reason,
after all.

A Watch fnr a Mai:
It used to be the saving in the army:
"V hen a soldier is riding hosa, and the
boss plays out, the soldier is played. "
When mv mule played out after an all
day's ride through Missouri snow storm. I
dropped off into snow a foot deep, and
more cmiing, ana telt a bit discouraged.
It was a back county, if there are any
back counties in that State, and the settlers
had located their cabins just six miles
apart, to a rod. When I set out to walk.
and pull the mule to boot, he looked up at
the iky, around at the woods, and keeled
over in despair. I was trudging along in
the snow over my boot tops, thinking how
much easier it was to drown than to freeze
to death, when the sound of a fiddle
reached me between the snowflakea, and
1 discovered that I bad reached a six -mile
cabiu.
"lonie in, old no&V sang out a voice
as I fell against the door.
When I opened it I was in a room about
sixteen feet square the only one in the
bouse. The big fireplace gave light, and the
furniture was home-made. A gaunt, long
haired pioneer sat on a shake down bed,
playing the fiddle ; a gaunt, slim woman
was (lancing in the centre of the floor, and
several children were scattered around as
spectators.
"Keep it up, ole woman 'd evening
stranger; be through in a minit; find a
cheer go in fur all yer wuth, Mary I"
called the fiddler, as I shut the door be
hind me.
As I walked to the fire one of the child-
ree wheeled up a block of wood, and the
lather remarked r
"Powerful storm outside, stranger keep
them feet gwine, old lady you children
wipe off your mouths and sing with me :
I was forty mile from P.ka.
And the road wa full of (now. -And
the wind ws gitun' re iy
Fur to bump itself and blow.
"Faster now change off kick higher
up with them hoofs round with yn hoe'er
down ladies change that's all stranger,
howdy I"
1 was made at home.
"Wall, now, but this seems to be tbe
hand of Providence," as I drew up to the
table. "Here ye are, suowed in, ard here
we are chock full of pervishuns ard happi
ness, and to-morrer is Christmas. Slrajger,
I II show ye more high steps, more boots
and yells, more music and feastin' and dan-
cm , and gittin' up sta rs to-morrer man ye
ever saw m all yer born days! Ole wo
man, if this ain't tbe Lord's doin's, then
1 in a petrified reptile, and never got re
ligion."
'Ben, yer right ! added the wife, as
she poured out another cup of burnt corn
coffee. "We is a bos-pit-able family. When
we can't whoop er up fur a stranger on
Thanksgiving or Christmas or New Year's
nobody else need try."
After supper one of the boys took the
fiddle and ths rest of th family limbered
up for Christmas. When this process was
ended it was time to go to bed, and the old
man said:
Now, then, ye kin see that we hain't
bilin1 rich. Here's two beds, and nine of
Me and the ole woman take one, you
take t'other, and if the children can't keep
warm afore the fire I'll liven their blood
with a gad. Git right into bed, stranger.
and if tbe children git to fightis in the
night heave yer boots at em."
If tbe children got into a raw 1 aian l near
them. It didn't seem as if I had slept an
hour, when the pioneer shook me by the
shoulder and called out :
"Say, stranger, diyhght has amove, and
Christmas am here. Git up and prepar to
ine in the festivities."
The snow was four feet deep and still
coming ; but the prospect aeiignieu my
host, who cracked his heels together and
exclaimed :
"If this hain't Divine Providence biled
down, then 1 don't like coon and corn.
1 ou children, stop that quarreling. 1 nomas
Jefferson, did you forgit to say yer prayers?
If ye did. l'U wollop ye like blazes !
e bad corn, meat, corn dodgers, apple
sauce and coffee for breakfast. Seats were
made for tbe pioneer and myself, and the
mother and children stood up. There was
lose and einbarassing pause after we were
all ready, and finally the. man said :
"Strauper, 1 was givin ye a chance to
throw yerself on a blessin', but ye didn't
tumble. Old woman, reel off suthin purty."
She closed her eyes and uttered the fol
lowing as if she had repeated it a thousand
times : "Now I lay me down to sleep, and
bless this meat and bread and sais. We
are thankful for what we've got, and not
jealous of our betters. Keep ns iu good
health, make coons plenty, and cause us to
escape the itch and ni ease Is. Amen 1"
When the table bad been cleared away
the pioneer and his wife held a consulta
tion in a corner, and when it ended the
man approached and asked: "stranger,
are ye willin' to help us make this a .hoop-
in old day 7
ies."
Good ! As a family we are 99 per cent
on a rough and tumble. I'm about twice
yer size and heft, and it wouldn't be a fair
show, but the old woman is a pretty even
match, and she's just achin' to lay ye on
yer back!"
i(ut 1 never wrestieu wiw a woman in
mv lif.'
Well, it's a eooa time to oecin. one a
wirv and auick. and she'll lay ye if she kin.
Stand right up, stranger, anddo yer level
iwat. to oblme me.
I oblieed. The situation was new and
noveL and in twenty seconds I was thrown
over one of tbe shake-downs with a crash
that Iarred the house. Tne woman cracktd
her heels together and crowed lusti'y, the
children laughed, and the pioneer helped
me up with the explanation :
"Straneer. sues pracucea mis ior ien
roars, and sue li aown any man in uiu
county 'cept me. 1 knowed how it would
be, but 1 im much ouleegeu ior your greai
kindness. The hull family will now swarm
for their paternal dad."
I retreated to a corner, and the old wo
man and her six children made a rush for
the father. They were seven to one. lney
attacked him on all sides with great vigor.
and were picked up and flung ten feet
without being a bit aiscouragea. iney
finally got him foul and brought him down,
and as he lay on his back he observed :
"Children, ye may wed feel proud over
this. It shows that ye are neailny ana
full of pluck, and that tbe itch has no busi
ness in a family line tuts.
We bad hickory nuts, popcorn, cider and
armies for lunch, and at dinner we had
bear meat, pumpkin pie, roast wooacnuca,
. . J 1 . L
snnle-buttlr and gingerbread. After the
meal a half -tame bear, about a yecr old,
was brought in, the floor cleared, and a
grand hugging match took plaor. The old
woman led off. Standing face to face with
the cub, he hugged and she squeezed. It
was nip and tuck. She sighed and coughed
and he growled and strained ; but at last
he whined in token that his ribs could
stand no more. Then the two big boys
tackled him, but Bruin had laid them both
out.
After the bear ws had a jumping match,
in which the old woman beat the crowd.
Then followed a target shoot, in which
every one beat me. Then the bear and the
dog had a bout, and the dog was used up.
In the evening we bsd a dance, played old
sledge and drank hot cider, and as we got
ready for bed the old woman read seven or
eight lines from battered Bible, and then
the man knelt down in all seriousness and
prayed:
'This 'ere day has drawed to a close, and
we are one peg nigher to the grave.
stranger cum along and we took him in.
We've fed on the fat ot the land, and had
a bustin' old time and expects to sleep like
a load of brick. Keep us from growin
pizen mean, continue our whoopin good
health, and reserve plenty of room in
heaven for us all. That's about all, onless
ye want to put it into the mind of the
stranger to offer me his watch even up for
mv old milk. Amen I
A Trip to th Uraal Geyser.
In the late afternoon, the sky being some
what overcast, "Koch," the guide, thought
it a good time to see the "Ureal Geysers.
From the hotel piazza they did not look so
"great" In any sense of the word. In fact,
all we could see wss a constant steam-
cloud, drifting up and away from a rusty
brown streak on the hillside. But the
place turned out to be infernally interest
ing. The approach is very deceptive. A
winding trail from the hotel leads down to
Sulphur Creek cool and clear : and over
a rustic bridge and a series of steps on the
opposite bank you come to the mouth of
Geyser Canyon, where Pluton Creek tum
bles along iu hot and sulphur blue-green
water, as the nrst intimation of tbe toil and
trouble and cauldron bubble further up
the nairow and smoking way. Across the
bank again, in and out, over and around
rocks and under laurel bushes the narrow
trail leads into the great laundry. First
we step up to the Devil's Office" but
not to settle, as many of us will have to do
some day ; but pass through "Proserpine's
lirratV' fst mat in rh rwvil'a Imuthair '
The -Devil's Kitchen" a little further 911,
is more than ordinarily fascinating, al
though the old fellow's diet appears to be
principally hell broth. This kitchen is a
cross between the "Poodle-Dog" range and
a steam fire-engine. Here and there in
tbe shelving rock are little springs and ba
sius, bubbling, blubbering, and oaly wait
ing for some carrot-haired Eastern tourist
to tali in, in order to transform the whole
ravine into a savory soup-house. Just out
side the "Devil's Kitchen" is the "Devil's
Inkstand," and the "Devil's Punch-bowl"
and "Ueyser Smoke-stack," and "Witches'
Cauldron,'' and "Devil's Canopy, "and the
"Safety alve," and the "steamboat
Spring," and the "Devil's Pulpit," and tbe
devil knows what else. These things have
been so Often described that it is a crime to
do it again. Suffice it to say, that there is
a canyon filled with fretting steam and boil
ing water., and spongy miaeral-streaked
ground, that smokes like the ruins of a re
cently burned city. Commotion every
where. Water hot enough to boil eggs
harder than Pharaoh's heart. Steam that
puffs and blows and shrieks and wheezes
and climbs up your trouseis-legs, and takes
all the starch out of the Boston Bchooi
ma'aiu's underskirts, and brings the bando
line out of the New York girl's hair, and
turns the bismuth powder on the Sin Fran
cisco belle blacker than her bang. It is as
though the devil had upset here his entire
apothecary shop and then turned on the
hydrant. Leaving the canyon, we come
suddenly on the "foatomce, aaa we
Lover s lletreat,"and the "iiover a lea?.
and the "Lava Beds," and the "Indian
Sweat-bath," where the natives in their
early days used to parboil their old rheu
matic bucks. W hue pitching pebbles into
the nozzle of the Devil's Ten-kettle,
Koch" told us of all sorts of wonderful
springs the iron spring, the hot acid
spring, the eye-water spring, the lemonade
spring, and a dozen other springs but
none of them half as interesting or nimble
as tbe "Kix spring," wnen be saw what he
took for "a bear reaching for a leaf." A
bear skin had been stuffed and placed on
the hillside, and by strings cleverly con
trived and worked from behind a tree the
fraud was made to go through bear mo
tions to life. One look was enough for
everybody, the guide included, and the
boys beat the lovers' retreat all to pieces in
their frantic endeavors lo shake the dust
of that hillside from off their flying feet.
The bear adventure wound up the first
day to everybody's satisfaction.
Instinct of lueects and Birds.
Eet us examine the marvelous instinct
of the solitary wasp in providing for the
worm that will issue from her egg after her
own death. She brings grubs food that.
as a wasp she never tasted and deposits
them over the egg, ready for the larva? she
will never see. The life history 01 every
insect exhibits instincts of tins perplexing
description. Ijook at the instinctive char-,
acter of bees in their far-sighted provisions
for the future. Witness the caterpillar,
how at the proper time it selects a suitable
situation and spins for itself a silken cocoon.
Marvelous instincts are met with outside 01
the insect world; every little bird Is his
own skillful accouchcr. We once observ
ed the self-delivery of the chicken. The
prison wall is not burst in pieces by strug
gles. Bv a regular scries oi strokes uie
shell is cut in two chippea rouna in a
perfect circle some distance from the lar
ger end. The bird has a special instru
ment for this work a hard, sharp horn on
the too of tbe uppermandible, which, be
ing required for no other purpose, disap
pears in a few days. Obviously each lndi
vidual bird no more acquires the art of
breaking its wsy out than it furnishes it
self with the little pick-hammer used in the
operation ; and it is quite clear that a bird
could have never escaped from the egg
without this instinct, flow were eggs
hatched before birds had acquired the in
stinct to sit upon them? A iowi mat
never before willingly shared a crumb with
a companion will now starve herself to
feed her chickens, which she calls by a lan
guage she never before used may have

Tbe ursaaea Sen
This is the name given to a portion of
the Atlantic Ocean covered with tbe sea
weed. Sargassum. Its boundaries may be
indicated bv tracing a triangle, of which
the three corners are represented by the
Azores, the Canaries and Cape de Y era.
Within those limits the sea is clothed on its
surface with 1 garment of vegetable mater
ial, so thick as to re' ard the progress ot
vessels sailing through it. Steamers avoid
it because of the fouling of their screws
and paddle? by the weed ; but sailing-ves
sels bound to the West Indies, South Amer
ica, the Cape of Uood Hope, etc., must
pass through it. When Columbus, on his
first voyage, had got some distance to the
westward of the Canary Islands, he was
amazed to find hi ships in what looked
like a meadow. As far as he could see,
the water was covered with a greenish-yel
low plant, as water-lilies cover pond.
This was tbe first time such thing had
been seen and tne sailors were scared. Co
lumbus could not explain the sight he si
nnd might have thought with bis men,
that the weed was the covering of some
dangerous rock which lay a short distance
down, ready to tear ana rend them. The
lead was hove but no bottom was found.
The ships kept on their course, and in
few days, they got clear of the weed.
BUAatBala.
In the Bad Lands of Colorado an ani
mal has been found which is by f ar the
largest animal su prosed to be capable of
moving on dry land. It fed on the forests
of the time, a fact proved by the remains
touna witn it. it was called tbe Titanasau
rus, a huge animal, seventy feet in length
ana eigmy in neignu i hat age abounded
in flying reptiles and turtles, beside the
monster saurians already mentioned. Some
of the land turtles were nine feet in length
and proportionately high. One specimen
now extinct would easily hide or cover two
men, being about four fee high. At that
period a great revolution was culminating,
and a perceptible change is noticed that
gives indications of a new era. The body
was elevated Instead of beiug dragged
along: the limbs were lengthened, and in
animal life at that period the iguanodon
takes prominent position. The thigh
when full-grown was more than four and
a half feet in length, and the circumfer
ence around tbe head was four and a halt
feet. The teeth were obtusely conical and
laterally compressed, so as to present a cut
ting edge, which was serrated like the teeth
of the Mexican iguana, from which it was
named. As restored by Mr. Hawkins, it
has a slight resemblance to sn immense ti
ger. Mr. Hawkins says, to give an idea of
the size of that animal, that the iguanodon
as it now stands in tbe Crystal Palace is
composed of four iron columns nine teet in
lengtn by seven inches in diameter, six
hundred bricks, fifteen hundred and fifty
tiles, thirty-eight casks of cement, ninety
casks of broken stone, with one hundred
feet of iron hooping and twenty feet of
cubic inch bar. The specimen was mod
eled after the great Horsham specimen, and
to snow more clearly the size, the mold
was afterward converted into a "salle a
manger," in which Professor Forbes, Owen
and twenty other gentlemen sat down to
dinner.
The great cretaceous ocean of the West.
that is now only known to us by its arid
deserts and chalky plains was no leas re
markable for its ashes than its reptiles. and
swarmed with large forms related to the
salmon and saury. Yertebite and other
fragments of those species project from the
worn limestone in many places, and one of
them attracts attention by .its formidable
appearance. The density and hardness of
the bones had shed the rain off on either
side, so that the radiating gutters and ra
vines finally isolated the stony monster.
1 he head was some inches longer than that
of a full-grown grizzly bear, and the jaws
were deeper in proportion to their length.
the muzzle was snorter and deeper than
that of a bull-dog. The teeth were all sharp
cylindric fangs, smooth and glistening, and
of irrerular size. .At certain points in each
jaw they projected three inches above the
gum, and were .sunk one inch into deep
pita, being thus as long as the fangs of a
tiger, but more slender. Two pairs of such
fangs crossed each other on each side of the
end of tbe snout. That fish is known as
Portheus MolossMs. Beside the smaller
fishes the reptiles no doubt supplied the
demands of their appetite. Tbe ocean in
which nourished this abundant and vigo
rous life was at last completely inclosed on
ths west by elevations of sea bottom, so
that it only communicated with the Allan
Uo ao-1 Pacific at tbe Gulf of Mexico and
Arctic SeCtT'ouinued elevation of
both eastern and western shores contract
ed its area, and when ridges of the sea bot
tom reached the surface, lorming long, 1 jw
bars, parts of tbe water area were inclosed,
and connection with salt water prevented.
Thus were the living beings imprisoned and
subjected to many new risks. Tue stronger
could more readily capture the weaker,
while tbe fishes would gradually pensh
through the constant freshening ot the
water. W llh the death of any considera
ble class the balance of food supply would
be lost, and many larger species would dis
appear from the scene. Tne most endur
ing would longest resist the approach of
starvation, but would finally yield to inex
orable fate; the last one being caught by
the shifting bottom among the shallow
pools, from which his exhausted energies
could not extricate him.
The Demand for Nat;
During recent years the trade in foreign
and domestic nuts has developed wonder
fully. New xork city has become the most
important centre of the trade, tbe extent of
hich indicates that people have either se
cured patent stomachs, or that indigestion
has lost its terrors. Africa used to tupply
us with peanuts, sending them by ship-loads,
but our Southern states have so success
fully cultivated this popular nut that we
are now independent. The states that fur
nish tbe bulk of the supply are irgima.
North Carolina and Tennessee. During
the past seanon the crop of Virginia was
1,100,000 bushels, of Tennessee, 55,000
bushels, and ot North Carolina, 120,000.
Tbe nut probably the most popular after
tbe pesnut is the pecan. Tbe Texas pecan
is especially in demand. While a few years
ago several barrels of pecans abundantly
supplied the demand, car loads and in
voices of one or two hundred barrels are
now not uncommon.
Of the other nuts the hickory is among
the most popular. While in many locali
ties, especially in the Eastern states, they
are becoming scarce, in the Western states
they are sufficiently plentiful to ship to
New York half dozen car loads a week
when demanded.
That delicious nut, the chestnut, is be
coming scarcer every year, and there is
much difficulty in obtaining them sound
and in large quantities. Their great popu
larity will probably prevent their total dis
appearance, for they are already being cul
tivated, and it is expected that within a
few years the cultivated nut will equal
in quality the high-priced Italian chestnuts.
Black walnuts and butternuts are re
garded as too rich and oily for table use ;
but the former is largely used by conlecl
ionera. The American hazel nuts are not
an important article of c vimerce, the. fil
bert largely taking their place. Only a
few English hazel nuts find their way to
the American market. It is stated that
growers in California contemplate intro
ducing a number of varieties of nuts native
to Spain and Italy.
Tbe trade in foreign nuts is enormous.
The demand is said to have tripled during
the last five years. As everybody knows
the almond always has been in demand,
and probably always will be. The Eng
lish" walnuts, formerly called Madeira wal
nuts, mainly come from France and Spain,
the English crop being consumed at home.
They have been successfully raised in the
states on the Pacific coast. Tbe Brazil
nuts are a kind of "linked grease king
drawn out" a few of them go a long way
For cocoanuts the demand is steady and so
immense that our dealers feel site in buy
ing them by the hundred thousand. Tbe
process of dessicating them has widened
their family use, and they are now a favor
ite ingredient of pies, cakes and candies.
It is unfair to ay that a man does
good deeds only for effect, merely be
cause he does them with effect.
The happiness of the tender heart is

The Orphan.
At WiUiamsport, Pa., on the uighl before
the execution of Mrs. Miller, the was vis-
ited by her two children. Sheriff Wilson.
who throughout the tryinf, ordeal displayed
the most generous qualities of heart and
soul, resolved that this unfortunate mother
rhould have a visit from her little ones be
fore leaving the world in which her sor
rows have been so heavy. At his own ex
pense be arranged with Constable Steven
son, of Jersey Shore, to bring them to the
city. Mr. Stevenson was the right man
for the work, and without delay he
bitched a horse to a sleigh at Jersey Shore
and drove out into the country about three
miles, where these children were. One
was with a family by the name of Cable,
and the other with Mr. Aaron Willis. It
was soon ascertained that the children were
anxious to see their mother, and Steven
son did not have to wait long at either
place for his precious passengers. Having
been comfortably fixed in the sleigh Jen
nie, aged eight years, and Eliza between
five and six years old he started for WU
liamsport. The first words spokon, after
tbe horse's head was directed towards Wil
liamsport, the fatal home of their mother,
were from Eliza, the youngest, who en
thusiastically exclaimed :
"Oh, Mr. Stevenson, I was just saying
before you came that I would like so much
to see my dear mamma. 1 have two ap
ples with me to give to my mamma."
then Jennie, the oldest of tbe two, ap
parently with a full knowledge of the true
position ot her mother, remarked :
"1 don t see what mamma meant by go
ing out with such a man as George Smith!"
1 suppose 1 won t have any mamma, af
ter to-morrow, Mr. Stevenson?" inquired
the poor little Eliza.
"Perhaps not, Eliza," was the response.
"I don't know where I'll go to, Mr. Ste
venson. I guess I'll go over luto the val
ley, Mr. Stevenson. I wonder if mamma
has had any apples I"
"Ob! my poor mamma is to be hanged!"
exclaimed Jennie.
"You must not talk about that now,"
said Constable Stevenson.
Then the unfortunate little ones com
menced to talk lo each other, and simul
taneously they commenced to inquire if
they would be allowed lo stay all night
with their mother.
Arriving at the jail, Constable Steven
son lifted the little girls out of the sleigh,
and with one at each hand went up the
steps and entered. He conducted them
into tbe Sheriff's cozy parlor, and soon they
were made to feel as comfortable as they
could possibly desire. They soon felt that
they were close to their mother, and their
eyes became suffused with tbe brightness
of cheerfulness.
At this time several of Williamsport's
Christian ladies were in the cell with the
mother, fitting on her the dress which ac
companied ber into the last sleep. Kev. T.
F. tleeser, of St. Paul's Lutheran Church,
William street, was in the jail when Mrs.
Miller's children arrived, and wisely deem
ing that the administering of the last sac
rament to the unhappy mother should be
made before her last and terrible farewell
to her children should take place, he
immediately made arrangements for his
Christian and humane task. The sacra
ment, was administered and at about six
o'clock the Ththueu were taken up to a cell
in the second tier of the jail, to partake
with their mother of her supper. With al
most the rapidity of lightning the doomed
mother seized one child and then the other,
embracing Ihem with such enthusiastic de
light as to almost crush the life out ot them.
T he youngest, Eliza, seemed to be ber spec
ial object of affection. This child was the
first to respond to her ruother's welcome,
and it was with the natural simplieity of a
child. Said Eliza, with all the enthusiasm
of one of her years :
"Mamma! mamma! I have something
for you 1" at the same time bringing lo
view those two apples.
The mother plead hard with the Sheriff
for ber children to remain with her during
tbe night. This request the Sheriff gently
informed her could not be granted. He
told her, though, that he would leave them
with her until a time (he would deem it
necessary for them to be in their beds.
The children left the cell at half-past
eiht o'clock and the parting from their
mother was a terrible scene. Both of the
orphans threw their arms around their
mother's neck and clung to her, uttering
cries of the most intense agony. After the
final scparalioi., they were tiiken to a board
ing house close to the jail.
A Dutch Victory.
The other day a German called on a
grocer to pay a bill, giving him a ten-dollar
note. The grocer examined it closely,
and said :
"Hullo, where did you get this note ?"
"Vot is dereasoLS nut dose note!" re
plied tbe he nest Teuton. "Don't she was
goot, hein I"
"11. tod '." answered the grocer. "Why,
you're a lucky man ; that note is worth
$10.50."
"Ish dot so t Why for t
"You see the signature over here, dont

"IJose tings like a corkscrew nut de
worms? Yh."
"Well, that's Spinner's signature."
"Vellf"
"Well, MJ- New is now Treasurer of the
United Stttea."
"You don't tole me so, veil?"
"WelL the notes signed by Mr. foinner
are getting scarce, and people pay five per
cent, more for them than for the new
issue.'
Py shiminy 1 Ish dot so f "
"Let me see your bills. Whv, every
one of them is a Spinner 1 Man alive, your
fortune is made I ' .
In pursuance of the grocer's advice, Mr.
Schneider called at the sub-Treasury to get
the premium on his bills.
What success he had it is impossible to
state, but he was seen later in the evening
lurking around the street by which the
grocer must go home, and being accosted
by an acquaintance, the following conver
sation took place :
Der peeblea ven Sharmany fight well,
hein I"
"Ob, yes ; the Germans are unqueiti n
ably a military nation of tbe first class "
"Some big fights, hein I"
"Yei."
"Leipsic ?"

SaMalagtas Prince of Wale
The late Prince Albert, husbaad ot
Queen Victoria, was noted for character.
An incident reveals what sort of a man be
was and how wisely he governed his family.
Some years ago Miss Hillyard, tbe gover
ness in the royal family, seeing the Prince
of Wales in attentive to his studies, ad
dressed hinithus:
''lour royal highness is not minding
your Dustness; please look at your book
ana learn your lesson."
Uis royal highness replied that he would
not.
"lhcn said the governess "I shall put
you in tne corner."
His royal highness again replied that he
Should not learn his lesson, neither should
he go into any corner, for he was the Prince
01 Vt ales ; and, as if to show bis authority.
be kicked his little foot through a pane of
glass.
Surprised at this act of bold defiance.
Miss Hillyard, Vising from her seat, said to
nun:
"Sir, you must learn your lesson, and if
you do not, though you are the Prince of
Wales, 1 shall put you in the corner."
1 he threat was of no avail ; tne defiance
was repeated, and that, too, in the same
determined manner as before.
Miss Hillyard, seeing ber authority thus
set at naught, rang the bell and requested
una ranee Ainert be sent lor.
Shortly the Prince arrived, and having
learned the reason why his presence was re
quired, he pointed to a footstool or otto
man, and said to the prince, "You will sit
there, sir !"
"lie then went to his own room, and re
turning with a Bible in nis hand, said to
the Pnnce of Wales :
"Now I want you to listen to what St.
Paul says about people wto are under
tutors and governors." Having read the
passage to him, he added :
"It is undoubtedly true that you are the
Prince of Wales, and if you conduct your
self properly you may some day be a great
man you may be king in the room of your
mother; but now you are ouly a Utile boy.
Though you are Prince of Wales, you are
only a ci-ild under tutors and governors,
who must be obeyed and who must have
them under them do as they bid.
Moreover," taid Pnnce Albert. "I
must tell you what Solomon says," and he
read to hint tbe decbua'ion that he who
loveth his son chaslenetb him betimes, and
then, in oruer to show his child, be chas
tised him and put him in a corner, say
ing:
Now, sir, you will stand there until
you have learned your lesson, and until
Miss Hiilrard gives you permission to come
out, and remember that you are under
tutors and governors, and they must be
obeyed.
Calendar for the Boy.
The sports and games of boyhood suc
ceed each other in unerring rekulauty, al
though it is difficult to give any deanile
reason why. It has occurred to us that a
sporting calendar would be of great service
lo Ine Loys:
Jaiuary: Make snow forts garrison
them witb snow men, slide down hill and
get your feet wet. This takes up all the
montn.
February: Go skating, fall into the
'danger" holes and get nearly drowned ,
stay in the house three weeks with sore
throat and fever.
March : Fish through rotten ice and run
a'l the lisks possible. Get your hawkey
sucks in thipe.
April: First week, play pra"tical jokes
till you get some mad enough to ' lick
you ; "hawkey" and baseball the rest of
the month.
May: Paste up a few kites, spilling the
paste all over the carpet, and try to fly
ihem ; marbles a good deal, hop scotch and
boiler."
June : A little croquet, not mnch ; get
out your fish poles, go in swimming and
worry yotr mother uut of ber senses ; in
sist on going barefoot; Sunday school pic
nics; play circus.
July : Tin horns, fire-crackers, hurrah,
blow yourself up, and start in on your long
vacation; a little fooling around in the
sea, picking huckelberries, etc
August; Ip at grandpas playing in
the hay mow, eating green apples, taking
paragonc, getting chajed by cows in your
drean.s.
September: Marbles again, general trad
ing season of the year, jack-knife swap
ping "sight unseen."
October Politic al campaigning. Drums,
torches, jack o'lanterns, capes, piocessions,
badges, "xoung America let loose, set
ting an ci.tbusiastic example to "old Amer
ica which is followed.
November : Clappers, tambourines,
shows in the woodshed, testing thin ice, a
general stuff of turkey, plum pudding and
tbe natural consequences.
December: Snow balling the school
ma am, breaking window glass, bragging
about "Christmas coming," growling be
cause it served you no belter when it did
come.
The above is subject to cyclones of tag
playing, jumping, leap-frog and tornados
of new and brilliant sports mat appear on
the surface for a brief time and disappear
as suddenly as they come.

Recently a man dressed in a thin sum
mer woolen suit and a dilapidated straw
hat entered our sanctum.
"Sir," ssid be, "you see before you a

dressed for enjoying all the comforts of a

me, no north pole Ior me, ana his teeu
chattered while a quiver of icy dullness
seemed to run across his whole frame.
"Are you cold?" we asked. "If so,
walk up by the stove and get warm.
No, sir; no! warm as the sportive Af
rican who swings his iu venue upon tne

sir. You see before you a speculator whose

Four months since I started a barber shop.
Now, thinks L, l'U strike a new beat. So
1 just goes and hires four deal and dumb
tonsorial artists aud then put up notices
that customers coming to my shop would
have a quiet shave by deaf and dumb bar
bers and no questions asked.
'The thing look on the start, but when
the confounded barbers pulled their slates
and began wnting out the usual questions,
blow me if I diun't discover thai I was a
ruined man. Yes. sir, barbers is barbers,
and whi n 1 closed my shop, busted up and
started on a tramp, I just says to myself
it's no use. If dead men could be learned
to handle the razor over a Kan's face the
blamedHbiugs would have spiritual med
iums asking their victims the same old line
of questions Ah, thank yer, sir U la
with this dime 1 11 send a counter-imtanl
down my throat that'll knock the thinness
out of this summer suit and give my
stomach a cleaner shave than any barber
can," and as the shattered vase retired the
perfume of tbe roses remained in the
sanctum cn il an open window restored the
natural tone of tbe atmosphere.
