A STKEET-CAtt KOMAXCE1 "Tickets:" shouted the smart young conductor, as lift ellxiwed his way through the passengers stand lntf in a car which was Ix-nig 'ravn swifty up California street. It was about half-pa-t Ave o'clocK on a Thursday afternoon that I found myself Inside a car filled with men returning from business, scattered among whom was a sprinkling of member of the fairer sex, who, in cumbered with their innumerable purchases and wrapped up in cloaks, allowed only the tips of their noses to appear over their long boas of fur or feathers. It was one of those cold foggy evenings that make pedestrians hurry along at top speed, while the policemen at the corners of the streets tramp up and down to keep them selves warm. The ladies seemed to have great difficulty in bringing their purses out from their small muffs or from their deep K'kels, and a con tinuous string of apologies was offered for involuntary elbowmgs, caused by endeavors of their benumbed hands to obtain hold of the nickels for tiieir fares. "Why, where is my purse? You haven't got it, have you, Klhel?'' ex claimed a sweet-voiced lady of middle aire, after a hasty search in her rniiil and a lengthy exploration of the mys terious depths of her handsome gown. "No, mamma." "Then some one must have stolen it, or, perhaps, I have left it in ,-t.iim) of the shops down at .The White House, probably. All eyes were turned in the direc tion of the lady who had spoken, and the conductor l.eg.iu to look very, knowing. j "Haven't you got any iii'iiu-?" ha demauded, in a gruff tone. "No; I have 1 s t my purse, which contained all the money I have alout me. Hut my huband will pay for us tii the morning, or 1 will send thej money to the oflice at once on return-i lng home." "Can't do It, ma'am," replied th conductor; "you've got to pay now or get out and walk." i "Here, conductor," I said, tender-;' lng him a dime; and then, turning to the elder ladv, 1 a Med: "It is tho rule of the company, madam. Thq conductor cannot give credit to pas? sengers. I hope jou will permit uiti to spare you the annoyance of having to get out at this hour." j "I am very much obliged to you, sir," replied the lady, "and I accept your kind offer willingly. Will you) be good enough to give me your ad dress, that I may discharge without delay this small debt'"" ' i "On, it is a mere nothing, madam," I said; "I shall be very well satisnVd If you will give the sum to the tlrst poor person you meet." "Oh, no, not at all, sir, I must iu lst " Under such pressure, I could hardly refuse, and as the car was now ap proaching Hyde street, where I trans ferred to the cross-town line, I took the three transfers the conductor gavo ine, and, confused by the deep interest of the other passengers, now all eyes and ears, I hastily drew out a card, and, raising my hat, extended it, witli two transfers to the lady. But it was the young girl who, blushing deeply, took them. 'Ae following day I had almost for gotten the incident, when among my letters, I found one in an unknown band-writing bearing the city post mark. I opened it and saw, attached to the top corner of the visiting-card lnclosod, Ave 2-cent postage stamp. 1 On the card was printed: MB. AND MRS. JOHN CI. CAUMA.V. While underneath was written: ! I Mr. and Mrs. Carman present their com pliments and thank to Mr. Paul Burn&rJ for bis kindness uuil courtesy. Tuesdays. No- Tine Street, j 1 put the card aside on my desk under a vase of violets, and it was not till one morning, nearly a week later, that I came across it again. : Now, every day you meet people in a street car who vou look at for an Instant with more or less attention; but in mv case, I had hardly a glimpse of the mother or the daugh ter, and had not even the least idea. If they were pretty or otherwise. From their accent and manner, how ever, there could te no doubt they were of the upper world hut, after all, of what interest could they be to me? Nevertheless, I did feel interested, so why should I attempt to deny it? Their address had been given to me, and also their day at home. The ad dress was printed, but "the day" was were taught thirty years ago. The mother had certainly written them. . But who had written "the day?" I I became curious. How could I And out? Yes, there was a way. . . . But to call on people with whom I had only exchanged a few words, almost on the street, and who, in a wvtk, might have forgotten my name and j mv face, was rather a delicate mat-; ter. Then J should hive to undergo . the torture of feeling myself an in truder, as the servant, would an nounce me in the reception-rood where, perhaps, half a dozen ladies, unknown to me, would lcoii me over from head to foot a- I advanced, as if tosU: "Who is this person, and where does he come from?" When I thought it well over, how, . ever, I reflected that there had been.; occasion to talk of me, and, at the j name of Paul Barnard, Mrs. Carman would know very well who I was. At j all events, I determined to renew the acquaintance, and so the following Tuesday found meat the door of No. l'ine street. I must confess I did feel rather un easy when my inquiry "Mrs. Carman?" brought the answer: "Yes, sir; shall I take your coat, sir?" and I was presently ushered into a harulsomely furnished room, where I proceeded to pull myself toother while awaiting J Mrs. Carwaa. . - Since then some months hare passed: "Paul, what are you writing there?" "A little story, darling." "Let me see." "No, no not yet" But she had looked over ray shoul der, and a small hand soon covered my eyes, while an arm slipped round jny neck and her soft lips pressed mine. "Oh, you naughty boy! But just wait a minute." She disappeared, laughing, and came back quickly with a blue sachet, from which she drew out two Dink : street-car transfers. I "You see, I've kept them safely you did not think I had thrown them away, dear' J.ne nrst Tuesday L cried all night. If you had not come the second " "Well, what would you have done, Ethel?" "Shall I tell you?" "Yes, do." "You won't be cross? "Well, I would have sent you one of them by post." "How jolly! And Mrs. Carman knew " "No, no no! She was ever so sur prised when you called. It was I who, before closing the envelope, secretly wrote at the foot of the card 'Tues days.' Are you sorry?" (And then there is the sound of kissing). A rgo ti a u t. Queen Victoria's Frivata- Secretary. Sir Henry Tonsonby, Queen Vic toria's private secretary, is a smart, military-looking man of 66, always dressed with exquisite taste, and pos sessed of such suave manners and such dignity that no one could help being attracted to him. Like all the persons attached to the Queen, he is poorly paid for the work he does. He receives about $10,000 a year, with a house rent free at St. James' Palace, and, of course, free quarters wherever the Queen is. But he has a consid erable income of his own, and his wife has means; and their position at court has advantages altogether apart from pecuniary ones. They are in the very inner circles of the best society w ithout any of the burdens of gran duer, and their children have excel lent prospects in life. Their eldest daughter, Alberta Victoria, the Queen's god child, made a brilliant marriage recently, and the presents that poured in from all quarters,even from several Kuropean sovereigns, were almost eiial in splendor to those of some royal weddings. The Queen made a special journey to London to attend the ceremony a thing she has seldom done and the first name wit nessing the marriage of the private secretary's daughter in the register of the Guards is the bold, stiff signature of "Victoria It." KllC'IPES. TAPIOCA JELLY. Soak a cupful of tapioca in two cup fuls of water over night; in the morn ing add two cupfuls of boiliDg water, half a teasi Ouniul of salt, and cook until clear and transparent; then add ti e juice of one lemon and half a cup ful of sugar; tnrn into molds and set in a cool place to harden. Serve witb powdered sugar and cream. Emma L,. is anxious to know how to make chocolate eclairs. She has been told that th"y are too "fussy" to make at home, but trustd us to give a simple recipe. She is advised to try the fol lowing: Take eight titblespoonfuls of sifted flour and rub through it an even tea spoonful of granulated sugar. Put a teacupful of cold water in a tin sauce pan over the fire with four even table spoonfuls of butter, stir with a wooden spoon; the butter should melt before the water boils; as soon as it boils stir briskly with the right hand and BpnnlUe the flour in with the left; if there is the least sign of lumping re move the saucepan from the fire, grasp it by the handle and beat the contents well; in any case stir for about half a minute af er taking from the Are; the whole operation should take less than aninnte, as the quicker it is done the better. When rightly done nothing sticks to the pan, but the mixture feels velvety when touched and does not cling to the fingers. Let it stand for about five minutes, no longer; then add four egg, one at a time, beating them in the mixture; it will be found easier to get them into the paste this way thau if beaten together. Let tne mix ture ttund for half an honr and it is ready to be dropped from a spoon in long-shaped mounds of the desired size, if these are made often it is worth while to mnke a bag of stout linen, with a tin tube fitted at the end, through which to force the paste. When the cakes are cold split them at one side and till with cream. To make creum for eclairs, put a pint of milk in a double boiler, saving enough cold milk to mix smoothly; two heaping teaspoon fnls of sifted lloar; add to this a quarter of a cup of sugar and the yolks of two eggs. When the milk is at the boiling point stir this into it and etir nntil it is a smooth paste, then let it cook about five min utes; the flour will prevent the eggs from curdling. W'hou cool, flavor with a teaspoonful of vanilla and put it in the cakes. To prepare the chocolate put an ounce in a small tin saucepan on the cool part of the stove witu a teaspoonful of coid water and let it melt, then add tno tablespoonfuls of granulated sugar and stir carefully while it boils for two minutes; it should bi jnst thick enough to spread on the rakes with a kuife dipped in colt" water. DELICATE UlCAROONS. Blanch and grate half a pound ot shelled almonJs; bent the whites of six egu8 to a very stiff froth, stir in grad ually three-quarters of a pound of pul veiized sugar, then add the almonds and a teaspoonful of essence of bitter almonds. lake aboat half a heaping teaspoonful of the mixture, and try in a buttered pan. If the mixture has been properly beaten it will not run; if it does, add a little more sngar. Drop about two inches apart, in a but tered pan, btike delicate brown, and wiieu done, iiit carefully with a pan cake turner.

THE fXOBAL CALiNDAit, Spring is coming. Spring, indeed, it here; Blue birds are flitting through the bare branches of the trees, chirp ing back to the sancy screaming of the jays: robins are oulii-g and Nature ia begiLning to wake. Down under the straw which has covered them warmly the grien leaves of snowdrop and crocus begin to nnfold, and soon their fair blossoms will "Twinkle to tne wintry moon and cheer tbe ungenial day. And tell us all will glisten soon as green bright as they." Frost may whiten the trees, the earth may be covered with a snevry mantle, the sun may shroud himself n fog, but when those blossom, the "nrnt-born of the year's delights" spring forih we cannot refuse their witness of a joyful year to come. Itown by the ice-bound streams, fuzzy willows have put forth their soft, gray catkins and the children gather tnem with delight, and now and then in some sunny hollow may be found the dear little Hepatica, darling of tne woodland. These are the offerings of March, ind few though they be we accept them gladly: fuzzy willow and wind- auwers. crocus, the "flower of hope nhofe hue is blight with coming joy," nd snowdrop, whose language is "cori tolution" casting a smile over the evere face of nature comforting our fears and telling of the return of Spring time. A LITTLE BOTASr. Let ns consider some of the peonliar tnd beantifnl forms caused by the ir regularity of parts: We will distinguish the many forms of the perianth aa monopetaloun and poly pefaloun; the first being where the petals are nnited; the second where they are distinct. They are, secondly, said to terjular or irregular. The polypetalons, regular forms we 3nd to be mostly represented by four iypes. 1st, The cruciform or cross ihaped corollas con isting of four long petals placed opposite to each other as teen iu the Steck, Allyssnm, Mustard, stc, caryophylluceoux, or corollas con -litting of five petals with erect claws and Spreading laminae as seen in the pink-. iiimuy. sra, jiosaceou cojo las are sompo-ed of live, short-clawed, open petals, of which rose, thorn, sweet brier, etc., are examples. 4th, Lilia ceous flowers consisting of a six-leaved j erianth spreading gradually into a uunel form and represented by the Uly-family, generally.

The flowers of the Pea, the Bean, the Locust and of the Legum-imo-ea, generally, are examples of this 'orm. 1 he orehidacrout form is one pecul iar to the family of orchids, and has a iix-part d, double, irregular perianth, characterized chiefly by the singular form of the upper petal, enlarged and variously deformed, and which is called he lip.
