"every mite her own," Aunt Joanna falri, nai Btrazina I But everybody was filad, for they loved Peggy 'well, Tills is the way It came about. At sjiiset lu February, 1S8), a strong gale was blowing, a heavy sea running. HCd the ket-r.er if station No. 4 had kept close watch all day of the ve8f!s on the treacherous Jersey coast. To bis practiced eye storms were gathering fro. ii tt.e northeast ana sou in west, Iodine ill and cot pood. A little sir!, r.ot more than ten years old, stood in ihe opn doorway cf her home, talking to a bur, bro: zed man, cheery looking and strong; dressed in a great-coat an1 thick Scotch rap. The surf came tum' ltie in atd roar ing en the wide beach. The sky was th ckenlng, and t!ie v.lldue-3 of the gale woi:l 1 1 ave soon horsed another girl than l'eggy. "Uo le:. me ao, fat'jer, jnr, for ono minute It looks arand out there; but do you think the vessels will all get In?" "Run, run, then, for your 8a rig, and come a'.ouz Tor a shoit w.ilk; you'll be ueetled in-r'oors to-nijht, 1'eg, I'm afraid; looks like a tussle out ih'ro it's coming fa-t; Btriuiife ttity didn't anchor sooner. Tell mother to ep plenty of her good cofTeehot. and make the old st ve snap; plenty of wood plied up, and plenty cf dry, warm clothe.".'' Keeper West v. ai a hrdy beichman, who for rorty years had lived within sound of the sen. 11U especial Btiifaj for the work, his elliclesit management of bis crow of six surfmen, gave him only a good record of brave deeds. From May till September the keepers on the Atlantic coast are In active ser vice as captains of their crews, having entire control of all station property, and direct all operations of the life saving service. Many of them live iu the neat station- houses all the year. Hand in hand l'e;y and her father tramped aloncr the ttMtli, the wind almost lifting the sina'l Hpure ofl the saud; but XYg-'J" wjis used to sand and wind, aud u?ed to looking f r satis at dusk, and used to clinJdng t. the lookout, lioliKiiK fat to hev father's hand in November or febrnary gales The patrol met and changed at sunset for the ereutrg witch; exchanged checks, and marched on anl on, keep ing sharp eyes FeawarJ. A tluee-masled schooner -bat' Ijcliored a inlie out;anotheruDd aaotl; er, like specks In the d;stance. It grew dark. I'eggy ran inside the snug little house where the mother wai fastening the storm shuttets, lighting the big lumps, putting one in iU place in the upper window. 1'eirgy hung her wtt jacket and cup by t':e fire, while t!:e kettle sung, jjst as though there wa no storm, and the coffee boi ed, and the supper table was laid. A Utile anxious looking mother, thin and brown, hut kindly and efficient 'n this busy home. It began to rain, then now; and the chiil wind turned them Into sleet. "Wou't father come in for his coffee, Peggy?" "Not yet," replied the little glil; "he and patrolman Lie have goue down halt a mile; they si.w tlgnals of distress; the schooner looked like a wreck!" "Let rue take a look, child," and the mother climbed the narrow st&irwav tothe roof, where the big glass aiwas lay, but it was too dark to see. The keeper and his men ran to the boat house. The signal guns came faintly trough the storm. They mala a fire on the beach, but, it burned fitfully 1b th rain. The red lights Gabsd scarlet through the sleet, and one after another was rapidly stntup. Ibey saw them from the nearest vessel a-id tired a gun In repon?e. The beach apparatus was placed la position; the line shot too far and fail ed to touch the rocking, tosiine Behoou er. Another and another line, out with elect and w ind they had parted. At last, the li-t'e piece of iron carried Its life-saving lite to the vessel.. The sailors drew it on board. The "haw ser" was sent next, and then the breeehc buoy was put into cororruni eation with the brave men ontheshoie. The first person to land was the ca tain. lie sprang out and evrla'med, "Thank God for these met I I came first to see if I c,i bring my wife and baby safely ov-r, or will the life-boat tand this sea?'' "No, Captain, no! we'll land you safe and sound, every one; with the breeches buoy," answered Keeper West. "How manv or your crew?" "Nine in all." Faster tl an I cm tell It, the line wnng acn-ss the sea and back. This time the pale, shivering wife camo In ber husband's arms. Mie was so silent and cold, one strong surftuan wrapped her in a blanket ana ran with ber to the warm house. It seemed an endless tlm, but minutes were pieciuus i.nd te, when back bounded ti.e buoy w:th the mate holding close to hU breast the little baby, tuvked warmly In rugs nd wraps, lie crowed utiderthe blankets, aa they put him iu IVgy's lap. It was now two o'clock in the morn ing. The sea thundered and roared, but the wind had lulled. Out into all these hours had thistid and shone the light from the st-tttui, seeming to draw the half-frozep, worn-out rueu by its very shining', Into safefy and deliver ance! The apparatus w;:s boused in the boat-house. The men hud eaten breakfast crawled into their w, rm beds for a nap. Comfort and shelter were always awaiting tlio wrecked. But the pretty, pale wife of ths cap tain S)W nothing ot the brightness, nor of the anguish; she lay on her cot toss ing and moaning with fiver and de lirium. Pecgy fed tlio baby warm milk and held him in ber srua ) arrts all night; and thay both slept, as only children can. Mon't tot, air, tha fever will be gone soon; it's only tbe chili and the wet." But vainly tbe cheery mother talked to tbe captain, with the mock ing sunlight over the treacherous sea in the morning, delirium Increased. A aurfman brought tbe Long Branch doctor, who shook bis bead and came again that night. ' In a low chair, close to lb stove, almost beb'nd tbe wood box, sat Peggy, Hushed and radiant, with Jamie's fat fin jew clutching familiarly at ber bair and eyes. The young captn'n, sick at bean, with bis head on the pillow beside his unconscious wife, looked across the room at tbe picture, and said low, "Mary, Mary, if you could see them now! The Mtle brown mother and our boy Pear Lord save he:! Ob, tave her life for us!" Two long, watching, anxious week Tbe doctor Mid, "Take ber away from the aiund of tbe sea; go to the moun tains a month, then take her borne. Leave the baby with Peggy." Earthly blessedness bad come to tHt. little mother! She jumped up and down in ecstasy. There, by the winter sea, Peg2y' story began. No dearer one will ever be told to the captain of "The Pearl," aud bis beautiful wifefMary, than was told them in the little station on tbr be ch. "Oh! I've seen yon, child, In my sleet and dreams, and in all my pain; I've seen you with my baby in your little arms. Come here!" Jamie mother sobbed, and clasped P. ggy to ber heart. The captain held his boy without a word, and kissed Peggy tremendously, tbe easy carriage from Long Branch rolled away, amid good-byes and blessings from the sturdy beachnien and the faithful family.

"But, mother! bow can I go? and they such Gne folks, and I've got only one good dress aDd " "Peggy wait and see,' replied th patient mother, so used to watching and waiting. I ather gave Teggy and the crowina lsughing baby one good look, "hemmed" a great deal, and went; to the beach (he seemed to have a cold) It would all make a big. beautiful book, to Mil how the captain captured reggy with ber baby; how she wa? fitted to the "loveliest clothes!" in Mew l'ork; bow she stayed at the great house in Portland where Jamie's rich giandfatiier lived, and his pale mamma lived, there, too, while tbe cap tain went to see abjut his schooners.

THE VERGE OF THE UNKNOWN. An Experiment That Mmkee Urn Aak What Is Coming?" Mr. W. II. Preece, Chief Englnee. and Electrician to the Fostofflce, has put up a wire a mile long on the coa-t near Lavernock, and a shorter wire on Flatholtu, a little island three miles oil the Uristol Channel. He fitted the latter wire with a sounder" to receive messages, and sent a message through the formof from a powerful telephonic generator. That message on the mainland was distinctly heard on the island, though nothing connected the two, or, in other words, the possibility of a tel ephone between places unconnected bv wire was conclusively established. There is a possibility here of inter- p.anetary communication, a good deal more worthy of attention than any scheme for making gigantic elec tric flashes. We do not know if we can communicate by telephone through the ether to New York 01 Melbourne, with or without cables, but we do know that if we cannot the fault is in our generators and sounders and not in auy prohibitory natural law. Will our habitual readers tear with us for a moment as we wander intc another, and, as many of them will think, a supra-sensual region? The thought in a man's brain which cause him to advance bis foot must movi something In doing it, or how could it be transmitted down that five ot six feet distance? If it moves a physical something, internal to the bxly, why should it not move also something external, a wave, as we all agree to ca.-l it, which on another mind prepared to receive It fitted with a sounder, In fact -will make an impact having all the effect in the conveyance of suggestion, or even of facts, of the audib.lity of words? Why, in fact, if one wire can talk to another without connection, save through ether, should not mind talk to mind without any "wire" at all? None of ns understand accurately, or even as yet approximately, what the conditions are; but many of us know for certain that they have occasion ally, and by what we call accident, been present to particular Individ uals, and that, when present, the communication is completed without cables, and mind speaks to mind in dependently of any machinery no' existing within itself. Why, In the name of science. Is that more of a "miracle," that is, an oc currence prohibited by immutable law. than the transmission of Mr. Preece's message from Lavernock U Flatholtu? The Spectator. Th Delleaoy or Measuring Instrnraonta. The adjustment of measuring in struments bas been brought to a point of such accuracy as to give al most incredible results. Scales are now made that will weigh the flame of a candle or the smallest strand of hair plucked from the eyebrow. These scales a-e triumphs of mechanism and are inclosed in glass cases, as the slightest breath of jilr would impair their records. The glass cases have a sliding door, and as soon as the weight is placed in the balances the door slides down. The balances are cleared again and made re'ady for fur ther use by the pressing or a button, which slightly raises the beams. Twc pieces of paper of equal weight can be placed in the scales and an auto graph written in pencil on either piece will cause the other side to as cend, and the needle, which indicates the divisions of weight even to the ten millionth part of a pound and less, will move from its perpendicular A signature containing nine letters has been weighed, and proved to lie ex actly two milligrammes, or the 15, 500th part, of an ounce troy.

A 8TABVINO man won't find fault with the table cloth. A SVCCESSFXJl V-J V YV hypocrite is t(p A never a success fs Jr at anything else. WVT6!!' The devil likes to be called by names that sound respectable. v Doixo will not take us to Heaven, out not doing will keep us out. As soon as a sin begins to pay It eems to become better looking Love never has to be watched tc see that it does a full day's work. Some men tire themselves almost to ieath looking for an easy place. No matter where we walk we are 4ure to be followed by somebody. The devil gets a strong hold on ut whenever he get us to finding fault. It is much easier to be contented without riches than it is with them. God did not send His Son into the world to condemn it, but to save it. Goo's way of rewarding Is that tbe man who does nothing gets nothing. The only people who can come out wrong are those who do not start right The way to be somebody in Heaven is, to be willing to be nobody ou earth. We are not doing niuh to please God as long as we are not loving our enemies. The Christian religion is tbe only religion on earth that is nut afraid of '.he light. If salvation means anything il means a complete and eternal divorce from sin. TnE nearer we get to Christ th& more we can lift on the burdens of othei people. Tearing a leaf out of the Bible is ibout the same as throwing away the whole book. The moment a Christian stops ooking straight at Christ be begins to walk crooked. Don't look for much growth in race as long as you keep your bands In your pockets. There are reformers who never think It worth whiie to work at their trade on themselves. IT Is not what we think about God, out what we know about Him that the devil is afraid of. It doesn't take the man who is Anxious to serve the Lord long to ind a place to go to work. Whenever a church bell rings it Jieans that God is still willing to have mercy upon the sinner. Wfien does a man really steal SVhen he robs a bouse, or when be makes up his mind that be will? 3iegroes in Bmrbodoea. In Barbadoes the chief enemy ol the black race is consumption, ol which many of them die, though it is practically unknown among Euro peans. The cause is simply that the norues hermetically seal up their huts at niifht, Dartly from fear of mysterious ghosts or "duppies," and partly to keep out mosquitoes, and partly again, because they wish to kej out co'd. For strange as it may appear, the naturalized West Indian negro shivers in a tempera ture of 74 decrees, and on rare occa sions in winter when the tempera ture falls to "0 degrees, he is blue with cold and almost incapacited for work. No doubt he is warm enough in his hut at night, with every shut ter closed and every chink and cranny stuffed with rags, but nature avenges herself for this exclusion of her ourl tving ox. gen by olds and coughs. The negro has quack remedies and balsams Is the dozen for these, but they do not save hliu from the tuber cle that soon forms in his lungs and ats his life awav. After all, he is little missed; he ha had a short life and a pleasant one. His relatives will feel pride In cover ing themselves with crape, for crape is de rlgueur among the negresses of Barbadoes. He will probably leave after him six or seven children, mostly Illegitimate, since the black ladies have strong objections to the bond of matrimony. But here the Question of pounds, shillings and pence does not Intrude itself as it does at home. It costs so little to bring up a black baby that there Is really no reason whatever for Its parents to consider Its future. When it grows up an hour's work a day will keep it in food and clothes. So, in the streets of Bridgetown, the happy little black imps swarm like flies, and the Island has the densest population per square mile of any place in the known world that is, if what they say abou' Chinese statistics is true. The prejudices of men emana'e from he mml aid may be overomr; the rejudl :es of women em mate from the ueart and are !mpie;r.able.

Among the utilisations of natural forces the lile i of turniux to account tbe power of the tides has always bad a certain fascination for many in ventors. One of the latest tlevices einboilyint; this idea is a motor con structed for operating the water sup ply of a pro) ertj on the shore of the St. Lawrence. The water was raised through a pip? of II Inches diameter and of SOU feet length to a height of 40 feet. The apparatus consisted siruD'.V of a trough of the shape of a very open V and of 6 feet length and t$ inches height. This trough is sus pended by three arras of 35 inches length to a horizontal shaft pivoted at its two extremities on two supports fixed at the bottom of the sea. A j horizontal arm articu'ated on the j middle arm operates the pump. The' smallest waves are suflicient to actu ate the apparatus with a surprising force. The motor thus simply con structed cost at the outside not more than one-fourth what a wind-mill would have cost, and does superior and certainly more recu'ar work. To obtain wore power it is desirab'e o enlarge the size of the panel rather than increase the height of the im mersed part; this has led to the em ployment of several independent panels, so that the waves of contrary direction may not strike the panels at the same moment, and thus di minish the eillciency of the appara tus. Too I'revlona in His Jollity. When Ed Youse was acquitted of the theft of a refrigcrater in Court the other morning he nas so trad that he jumped over two chairs, Judge Endlich, whose dignity was shocked at sueh an aorobatic perform ance, called Youse lero:e the bar and said: '-Young man, I s ntem e you to sixty days imprisonment for con tempt of Court." Youse's counte nance took on a woebejfone expression when he heard the words, and it had not yet assumed its normal condition when the Court aJjourned.

The vexed question of the reason of women's non-success in business, llowing what many will not aJ. that she does not succeed, is ably treated by Esther Lewis Jones in the Working' H'onieV Journal. Tbe role is, she says, that women do not am cred in business. W hen they are forced to make their board and clotheP, they do it with more or less comfort Fonr walla, eeat, or stand ing room, are offered for six dajs in the eek, to make a living for seven, by becoming a part of a curiously differ entiated mechanii-m, which makes money for its projectors. Many there ara who aceoDt these terma incarcera tion for a livelihood; wages, therefore, are low. Your average woman bas a reputa tion for being late. Bhe has little idea of values, of proportion, of the saored cess of appoinmenta. Your average woman has also a reputation for crying when attention is called to her short comings. Bhe has made this reputa tion for herself. The employer has a reputation for puttiog np with it; it saves emotions, it saves pennies. Her cons; ientiousnes goads her to make op for her shortcomings by rnsbing. This is wearing to her nerves. Your woman requires special treatment i concessions on account ot her sex; at least, so men sav. Your average woman will not take rUks: she lets another take the risks ! and reap the benefits. Her bird in tbe hand is of more value than tbe two in the bush which might be hers, if she dared to nse her first to oatoh the two she wants. Hue will not so into debt: and vet tbe business ot the world fs done on borrowed capital. How in teresting statistics would be as to the bomber of women who, from their re sources as wage-earners, are able to as sume the responsibility of a three-thon-sand-dollar bonse, with all its ex penseR. A man is doing little if he does this. If a woman supports her self and another in rooms, the world says she is doing nobly. Yonr average woman is ont of health; therefore, she cannot assume for a time a responsibility, though she rarely shirks those that are bequeathed her. She is snch a spendthrift of the vital force; to nse this wisely eomea not by nature to a woman, but by discipline, which she must administer to herself. Not until she realized that every action calls for the control of the emotions, cot for dissipation in them that is to be successful she must learn to make mird save body, cr else keep forever in the ranks does she begin to grope toard her own salvation. Women's clothing workiDg wo men's especially is adapted neither for nse nor for beauty. It is intended for the latter, but it larks fitness, an essential of beauty. Women's waists are too tight, their skirts are too long; they cannot be made nse of as general factotums. How ridiculous to expect a siim-waisted, be-friazled, drape ry entrammeled maiden to sweep the store, rnn errands, or work ber way np to membership in a firm I They are generally "made places for" a little above errand boys, wbioh tbey are known to retain till matrimony or death seizes them; such positions are so i-teady and ladylike. Yonr average woman's interest in the future is but a dreary wondering as to bow it will all turn out, she takes no active measures to make it tarn out her way. itecull two women one who bas a plan and who works it ont; an other, who has no plan, though she work long and bard; yon have yonr pictures of the woman who succeeds and the woman wbo fails. Yonr average working woman rarely saves. Oladly she saves for a wedding outfit; dismally, and later in life, to gain entrance to a Home, or to insure decent bnrial. Take yonr woman that saves does she know how to invest ber savings? Again, statistics would be in teresting as to the number of women who have from a few hundreds made thousands, millions. It would be re freshing, after the stories of vicious squanderings of Inherited fortunes by men trusted of women. Men's attitude towards women is quite as formidable a factor to be over come as their own lapses and laxness. Consider the men wbo are making an idealise for wife and children; the men who are making homes for wife and children, or mothers and sisters, and who wisely or anwisely, are sorry for the other women who, from choice or neceetsity, trudge along alone. Consider the men who take women as a joke, ber efforts to be laughed at the men wbo scorn and belittle her efforts. Consider also the men who are not fit even for business association with women; consider the composites, and bow many are left to take a ration al attitude? Men are chivalrous to men; they know how hard it is to sup port a family; therefore, the higher salaries are reserved for men with families to support. Sot to antagonize, not to placate, but to hold and enrich her own is woman's work. Man's attitude will veer when occasion demands it, not be fore. It makes some men feel badly to see a lady making her own living, so they say. Hiie must, however, be a lady to arouse their sympathies. Is it to avoid hurt to fine 'feeling that one in one thousand is the ratio of wo men to men in plaos where it is worth while to bo employed? A doetor, writing in a medical jonrnal, says: "Women making their own liviDg are blots on creation." Think how blotty creation is I Success is material. Yonr women teachers those of the pnblio schools in particular have they succeeded ac cording to this standard? If so, would an endowment fund be needed for tbe support of the aged and ailing? A teacher's influence is so landed; every man who legislate and appropriates Pay the Price of the Royal for Royal only. Actual tests show the Royal Baking Powder to be 27 per cent, stronger than any other brand on the market. If an other baking powder is forced upon you by the grocer, see that you are charged the correspondingly lower price. Those baking powders sold with a gift, or advertised or sold, at "half the cost oi Royal," are invariably made from alum, and are dangerous to health. Every can i : Royal Baking Powder contains ticket giving directions how to obtain, free, . copy of The Royal Baker aud Pastry Cook, contain ing 1000 of the best and most practical cooking receipts published. " Thrift is a Good Revenue." Great Saving Results From Cleanliness and SAPOLIO city funds has had teachers. Uow eurions that the iofluenoe exerted should not have made hira an enthus iast in her cause to leyslate, in the nirce of justice? Is it because the in Gneoce was so silent? Men and women get. what they are worth in this world, bnt to get it they mut know how; must know exactly whet their worth is, and bow to make it more; must know what the world is, and what it wants, and then go to work to give again. Acoeptiog the fact that there is necessity for many women to earn their living. I learn out of the nnuKin all ita anciVI. economic, do mestic, and ideal phases. Woman s place in the world is wherever she chooses it; she bas only to see that s is fills it well, and that she receives its recompense in full PERSONAL. Mrs. WrLMaif H. VAyDtuprLT pays the expenses of the free night dispen sary for the poor and needy, opened at St. Bartholomew Mission nnder the management of members of ihe con gregation ot St. Bartholomew's Church.

The illumination of WLittier's Cen tennial Hymn, done in 1876 by Miss Aunie Lewis riley, of lenu;ylvauin, will hold a place in tbe Woman's Building at tbe World's IVir.

The tunnel will be a trifle less than 12 miles. The cost is estimated at $1,240,000 a mile. The costliest cigars ever imported from Havana were a quantity made ex pressly for the Prince of Wales, and valuta at $1.67 a piece in tbe factory.
