T i I Mr. Crabbe's Burglar. Two maiden ladies occupy the front pal lor of our lodiiijr-house, and Mr. C'rabbe, an excecdinp-ly crusty old bachelor, the bark parlor adjoining. We never knew whether it was hln name that made him so crabbed, or whether his natural disposition had . given him his name. lietween him and the Misses Brown, the said maiden ladies, war raped almost without cessa tion till recently. Mr. Crabbe owns an uncommonly Vicious parrot, which penerally has the freedom of its otvnrr'a room, and the ladies have a very large Maltese cat, which they claim is far more in telligent than the average man. Sum mer days Jack, the parrot, sits in the open trausom over Mr. Crabbe's door and abuses the big cat. who is rendered ahnotit delirious by his inability to cliuib the door casing, which " Mr. O.abbe has carefully covered witli rjnc, and annihilate bis encniv. Harry Clark and Ii k Allison, t bright, manly young fellows, also room in the bouse. Tlu-y are the life of the place, running over with fun and ac tivity. We all tike our meals in the next house, and at table such conversa tions as these have been frerjuent: From Mis 1'riscilhi Jirowu: "Good morning, Mr. Crabbe. I hoiie that abominable bird of yours talked itself hoarse yesterday." "Thank you madam; I am happy to ay that Jack seems in uncommon good health and spirits, though I think the fact is remarkable, considering the way that vicious cat of yours worries hi in." "Vicious, indeed:" This from Miss Abigail. assure you, sir, that Sampson lias always been noted for his quiet disposition and gentle manners." "Yes'm, he seemed o,uiet that day when he clawed the paint all on" my door trying to get at poor Jack! I guess the Bine I've put on will fix his nails," chuckling. "Indeed, Mr. Crabbe " begins Miss I'riscilla, with dignity. The sisters usually take turns in attacking the en emy, but about this time Harry Clark interrupts the beligcrents and adroitly .urns the conversation. Sow it happened that the Misses Brown were mortally afraid of bur glars, and on the hottet night the transom over tln-ir door was kept tightly closed. .Mr. Crabbe, on tl contrary, as in tint v limincl, if only '. IiU lirililior.o, that he might oppo-e professed the utmost fiatli'.-ncss us regarded bur; w hat might 1 hinting ilurkly as to liijipon bhoulil lie be mo- tested. "1 hope, sir," said Hairy Clark, "that you wouldn't shoot; we don't want a murder in the house." ""o, I shouldn't shoot." "Might one iniiire what vou would do then?" asked Dick Allison. "No, sir, one mightn't" replied the old gentleman testily. "If you hap pened to be the burglar, jou'd find out." A conversation like Ibis seemed to take place every few days. One day Iiek said to Harry, "Let's get up a joke on old Crabbe. He's bragged so much about not being afraid of burglars; let's scare him and see what he will do in an emergencv." go the two put their heads together, and shortly evolved a dummy, sur mounted by a very black negro mask and an uncommonly woolly wig. ".Wonder what he'll do when that phiz appears over his doorway," said young Allison. It was an uncommonly hot July night; everybody but the Misses Drown slept with transoms and windows wide open, Mr. Crabbe included. About one o'clock the ',wo yoiiii" men stole softly I'low n the stairway" bear jnjj between them the combination . lilat was to scare Mr. Crabbe. They made their descent noiselessly, with no trouble, as a light always burned in the hall, and they were barefooted. Nobody has a very clear idea of just what happened after the conspirators reached the door and placed the dummy iu position. It seems, however, that the old gentleman, who is a light sleep er, w awakened by a slight noise, Slid starting up, be saw the bead of a negro appearing in the open transom. Slipping out of bed he noise les.-Iy climb ed uM)n a table near the door which, occupying a little recess, was not visi ble until the head and shoulders of the iutri'dcr had entered. L'pon that ta ble were two large pails of ice water; be prepared them every night. we learn ed c,erward. The head of the dummy rcs.I on the door; all was still. "I don't believe he's awake," whis perrl Harry. "Let's give it another hove." The shove was accordingly given; the negro's shoulders came in sight, when, like a second deluge, a whole pail of ice water went through the transom, and as the young men were crouching on the floor directly beneath it, of course they were drenched. The dummy fell to the floor wit It thump. With a cry which they could not wholly suppress, Harry and Dick sprang away and sped up-stairs, just as a second pailful came through. Un luckily, Sampson, who always roamed through the house at his pleasure, felt called upon to pass that way jut then, and the second instalment fell directly upon him. Wi 11, the cat made no effort whatever to disguise his feelings; the house rang with feline anguish in just two sec onds. Mr. Crabbe's door and that of the Misses Brown flew open simultane ously, and the three gazed at each other in well nigh speechless anger. Dick and Harry were safe in their room, lodgers in various kinds of un dress uniform thronged the hall and tuirways, making incoherent inquiries 8 to "What on earth is the matter?" Tho dummy lay on the floor. Streams of ice water were pouring over the oilcloth. Sampson, the in stant his mistress' door opened, went through it like a meteor and disappear ed under the bed; Jack, awalued from hi9 slumbers, perched on the door and remarked, 'Well, I never!" 'I suppose," said Mr. Crabbe, when ' oe could speak, "that I am indebted to you ladies for this joke." "Sir," retorted Miss Abigail, indig nantly, "you insult us." Miss Priscilla began to cry, and botji ifcdies, suddenly remembering that they were not dressed to receive com pany, retired to their room, slamming the door after them with emphasis. Mrs. Smith, our landlady, appeared with a servant girl and mops and pails tt this juncture and began to clear up the wreck. The vials of Mr. Crabbe's wrath were immediately turned upon ber. "I can tell you, madam, that I con sider this an outrage! Yes'm an out rage I And I shall vacate my room at once at once, madam!" Mrs. Smith is a meek, helpless sort of a woman, and therein lies her pow er. She rules us with an iron hand, for we irever know when she may burst into tears. Now she showed itrong symptoms ef bursting as she replied, "Really, Mr. Crabbe, I don't see what I'll do. You've been here so long, nd I d lose a week's rent, at least, vou left that sudden." "You shouldn't rent your rooms people who play jokes, madam." "Didu t 1 tell vou so?" said the nar- rot. "But I don't know who did it." tear- fullv:"but I mi. loose i t whs n,nu W- "Yes, ma'am, we are the culwits ni.i Ti a--.. .:..

"Oh, you young scamps! shrieked Mr. Crabbe. "I'll have you arrested; mat s what I 11 do!" "But Mr. Crabbe," pleaded Harrr "I think it's partly your fault. Wo wanted to know what device you had to scare oil burglars, so we could for tify our own room, and you wiaildu't tell us, though I'm sure we asked vou ! often enough." "And you nearly killed us with ice water," added Dick. "I daresay we shall have pneumonia, as it is." "Serves you right!" And not taking the trouble to say good-mght, Mr. Crabbe allowed his red dressing-gown to vanish through his door. "Serves you right," said Jack. Harry and Dick carried the demol ished dumiiiv out to the coal house. and quiet having been restored, we re tired to our rooms. The next morning the bachelor and the maiden ladies utterly ignored each other until the former gruflly re marked, "I suppose I owe you ladies an apol ogy, as I learn it was those young scamps across the table who disturbed my rest last night." Tbe ladies were so pleased at being the recipients of an apology from a man that they melted at once. Anxious inquiries as to Sampson, from the rest of us, developed the fact that lie was as well as could be expected, tho sis ters having spent the rest of the night drying his precious fur. The cook said that lie stole a pint of cream that same afternoon, so we felt that his condition was not hopeless, provided, of course, that he still man aged to elude the flat-irons and things cook throws at him at such times. Strangely enough, peace was declar ed between Mr. Crabbe and the Misses Brown. As for Harry and Dick, they were so amiably penitent that no one at all merciful could lay up anything against them. Jack and Sampson are still sworn enemies, and Mr. Crablie still arranges his ice water each night. In case he should not wake up until the burglars had made an entrance we are in doubt as to what would occur, and Harry and Dick decline to institute any turther investigations. AI FAllIS OF THE HOUSEHOLD. those who do not use the round bolster in the daytime on their beds, but still cling to pillows, now often nse the English bed-scarf to cover them. This cover is made both Ions and wide enough to completely hide tue pillows and tall a few inches over the sides of the bed. In some cases it droops nearly to the floor. The stufl used for the scarf is either linen or silk, and it may match the bed-spread, or be of the same material and decora tion as the dresser cover. When a white Marseilles quilt is used, linen bordered with lace three or four inches wide set on in a gathered ruffle is used. Large hemstitched handker chiefs of a nice quality of linen are sometimes set together with insertions of lace, arid tLa whole edged with a Trill. White silk handkerchiefs may be nsed in the same way, or the scarf may be made of Ungthwise strips of lace and silk. Some such simple coverings for pil lows is more sensible thnn the very elaborate pillow-shams shown in the shops, which still have considerable sale, notwiths.tan.licg all predictions and paragraphs to tbe contrary. Among the new shams seen are tbosa having a square of all-over embroidery in the centre, bordered by a very wide hi m, and finished with a frill of em broidery a finger wide. Others have half the square in the centre made ol sll-over embroidery and half of inser tion, the square being divided diagon ally. A pretty pair of square shams, has a centre of hemstitched tucks, and the square is bordered by a wide band of Torchon insertion, a wide band oi ulain linen, and a frill of lace. A 1 square of drawn work is nsed for the centre of other shams. Sometimes the small linen doilies, with hemstitched or drawnwork borders, are used for the middle of the sham; oftener hand kerchiefs, which make a larger struo ture to build about. Serviceable and pretty doilies of fine heavy linen have the edges button holed with silk In fine, pointed scal lops. In one corner of each doily is a raised butterfly with skeleton wings produced by cut work. The sets worked with white silk have the butter hies powdered with tiny gold beads, also those worked in gold color. Though the decoration on three sets it machine work, the process is not sug gested by the pleasing result Singly they are much used for covers over pin-ensbions of silk, for flower mats, and to protect the highly polished boflet when no scarf is nsed. Of these small serviettes there really seems to be no end in shapes, nor in fancies for their enrichment. For the luncheon-table a set tntire consists of centrepiece, a dozen pood-sized doilies. ample enough to protect the table from tbe smalle-t plate, and oftentimes of a set 01 butter-iilate doilies in the shape small flowers The centrepiece is round, oval, or square, or consists of a scarf of liuen about half a yard wide. extending the length of the table. A set for the tea-table has a centrepiece and smaller doilies to be placed under the cup. The napkins used with these embroidered tea-sets are half a yard sqnare and embroidered in one corner. When laundried they are folded in' a triangle, so that tho embellished cor ner comes on the top. Sometimes a tea-cloth is nsed as well as a centre piece, but both pieces are not neces sary to a prettily and properly fur nished tea-table. The picturesque tables, laid in this fashion, if of highly polished and varnished oak or mahog any, have, however, one drawback, and that is tbe ereat care that must be used in protecting the surface of the table from the circles, blisters, and1 blotches produced by hot dishes. The doilies themselves do not protect, and. either hot dishes mnst be served from! a side-table or buffet, or the dish mnst he set in a rack, or a chafing-dish must be used. In a household with few maids, if such a service is nsed every day, pieces of canton flannel should be laid under the linen. A POPULAR SMILE. "She's a perfect Amazon.'. Why do you say that?

As to seasoning, a word is necessary. ft meat is salted when it is first put on io simmer, it will harden and refuse to 5'iel I its juices. Wait nntil tbe soup is nearly doue, and then season to taste. After the cooking is completed, re move the pot from the fire, and strain the soup carefully. Set it in a cool place in a stone pot, and let it cool thoroughly before puttiiii? it into the ice-box. If it la tint on the ice to cool quickly it will not keep so well. When it is thoroughly cool set it on the ice, and you wilt speedily hnd that you nave a ricu meat jelly. The jelly is concentrated bo 11 p. It is the very best of all meat soups, and enters into the combination of nearly every one of the huudreds of soups that may be made. It may almost he said that no good sonp can be made without this jelly, or "stock," for iti foundation. Tbat would be an exag geraticn, of course, for excellent soup may be made of many things. Cloud stock, however, prepared in this way is an addition of great excellence to any soup. Diluted simply with ho. water, it makes the consomme, anJt with additions, becomes any soup yoi want.

I do not know how to express my heartfelt thanks to you for the benetlt I have received from using your Swump-Koot Kidney Liver and Bladder Cure. I am now 63 years old, and have suffered almost death for about three years. I had given up to die, but as I Drnfess to be a Christian man and a exeat be liever in the prayer of the righteous,! prayed that God would send something that would prolong my life, and 1 feel thankful to Him ' and you for the means tbat was sent. May Uod spare your life many years yet that you ' may hear the great good that your medicine is doing, tin the 2ota day of August, lbtfl, Mr. Frank Lawson, your agent at Spencer, ) persuaded me to take a bottle on trial. I have taken three bottles and it has brought out of my bladder lime or gravel, which X have saved in quantity the size ot a goose egg and I now teel like a new man. May Uod bless you and your medicine. I remain your humble servant, Box 278. Ocobob C. Cradicbt. SECOND LETTER. Dear Doctor I take great pleasure in answering your letter, which I received to day. You say "yoa would like to publish my testimonial In your Oulde to Health for a while." I have no objections at all for I want to do all in my power for afflicted hu manity. 1 send by this mall a lot of the Gravel (about one-half of what I saved) that the Swamp-Root dissolved and expelled from my bladder. Two years ago last September I was taken with pain almost all over me, my head and back, my legs and feet became cold, would get sick at my stomach and vomit often, suffering a great deal from chills and al times these were so severe that I thought I would freeze to death . The condition of my urine was not so bad through tbe day but during the night, at times, I had to get up every hour, and often every half hour. Would urinate sometimes a gallon a night, then it seemed my kidneys and back would kill me.
