Mr. St. Maur looked the imave of shocked dismay aud profouud indignation as, cumiog to the library for a book whicu he wanted to show to his friend Dusen bury, he found the very youojr lady for whom they had already waited dinner i miy inree quarters or an Hour, dozing comfortably in bis studj-cbair, and not evreu dressed for dinner yet. It was some moments before he could articulate for amazement. 'Upon my word, really, upon niy word,' he managed to ay at laet. She started up at the sound of his voice, her dimpled cheek pink with slumber, her dark fringed eyes bright as rewly risen suub, aad her soft black curls in a pretty disorder. "Why, papa, is that you?" she aid, tannin,' behind rosy-tipped finder?, aud lazily dropping her white lids attain, as :'K-u,'h Uisiuclined to be roused lrorn her Lat jint jet. "Miss St. ilaur."

"Mr. Dusenbury, the gentleman I ex pert you to marry, await! you in the p.ir lcr. Repair at ooce to your dressing rooir, and join us in the shortest possible space of time. ilr. St. Maur spoke in hii sternest, most unanswerable tones, aad left the apartment iu such a state of indignation that lie forgot the book he ca'ne after, and returning for it, found that enc tu.na;ious girl still lingering there. On seeing him, she asked, very coolly: "Pupil, who is Mr. Dueuburr. any howJ" "Mr. D,i?eubury is the man you are to marry, ami tnat is enough for you. O.r ' with you.'' "I'rtstntiy.

"I desire that juu utire yourself with your usual care. I'll put you on a diet of bread and water, miss; see if I-lon't.

He lifted his caue in mock threaten ing. "Oil with you, w itch I Will you go?'' sue laugnc i, uiuje a great ailectation or donins the upliftecl cane, and ished. Ten minutes after, true to her boast, she dahed into the parlor, a gorgeous enou-h little beauty to have turned half a uoien suen ue.143 ai tnat ot the auti nuated specimen of the trenua homo whn sat conversing with Mr. r M.,r taking mon'troui pinches of snuff be tween the words. That mjt have been the reason they called her Kuby: she was such a gorge ous little creatuie in herself; all sparkle aud flash, and w.th an almost barbaric fondness for rich and glowing colors, which, however, seemed only the fitting setting for her c.iliar style of beauty. Her dress now vs a claret-colored satin, clasped at t -at and wrist with orna ments of whi'e tc-az, and her curls were looped b-eaV fro. 11 her face with a gold dart set with tha same stones. Dinner wasseived at once, both gentle men seeming in a famishing condition, and Ruby pte-idmg in such a manner as to call forth mo-t approving glances from her proud an.l "ratified papa. As for papa's dear friend, Mr. Dusen bury, he divide 1 his attentions between the dinner and Miss St. Maur, and waf evidently &9 much bewitch&l as it waf possible for hira to be. 'Capital, capital I matters couldn't havt gone off better, afttr all." Mr. St. Maui murmured to himself, after hi friend had gone, walking the parlors and rubbing his hands together in great glee. 'Dusenbury 's a gone case, that' cvi deut. Ruby, my dear, you behaved like an angel." "Did I, pipa?'' that young laly re plied, demurely, glancing at him froin under her jetty lashes, while toe least bit of a smile t itched threateniugly at the dimpled corners of her rosy mouth. "I'm glad to see you haven't got any school-girlish notions in your head, Ruby. I wai uot without fe-ir that you intended to be perver?e in tin matter. It's a splendid match, child, splendid.

"I know on thing If I ever get tha power Hunt Dusonbury's father shall do him fcfctice." Mr. St. Maur etared in a speechless utonishment from which be did not re ;over till alter Ruby had given him her good-night kiss and swept like an indig aant little queen from the room. "What a, strange child she is really, apon my word," he muttered then. Miss Ruby St. Maur was a somewhat Indolent, luxurious little body. She was very fond of curling herself away among lilken cushions and dreaming sometimes iraklng vision. She was occupied pre :isely thus one morning, of which I am going to tell you. She looked like a feminine edition of Cupid asleep among the roses, though she wasn't aalesp, or if she was she wasdccidedly talkative in her slumber. '2fow, then," she murmured, bring ing her little rosy palm emphatically down upon the cushions, "if I could bring that fastidious Hunt to the point, I'd fix matters iu a twinkling. What is it to him if pupa, has got money? It isn't pupa's money ho wants it's me, tod why he can't say so I'd like to know. suppose, now, if I was his washerwo man's daughter he'd find a way to tell ne he loved me in very short order, out ' "Mr. Dasenbury," announced the ser vant at thedoor; and, not seeming to lave heari, Ruby sat still, and pretend id to be very sound asleep indeed.

An Electrlo Experiment Which Opens I'p Large Possibilities. Among recent electrical experi ments made on either side' of tlie At lantic, that of meltim a bar of iron immersed in co d water has perhaps, excited more popular interest thau aov other. Tho prcccss is as follows: The apparatus used is a vessel of glass or porcelain, provided with a sheet lead electrode, connected toth'j postlve pule of a continuous-current I ener.tto:-; the vessel contains sul phuric acid and water. A flexible taliie from the negative pole is con nected to a strotiK pair of pliers with in-iulaied h;iinl:es. '1 akini in tho pliers a piece of niet:il of any kind, i on, for iu-tance, and iii)tner-ins' it in tlie acid ilatcd water, ( tlie 1 1' i n ul is rot' n niiiiicillaiely in rhtillilion near the irou rod or plate, wlii.-li latter is rapidly heated and b.cnr,'ht to a d.i. lin white in a few rev.iuis, and s i -ns li'irins to melt in sii:irk-li;lit drops. The healing is prt.duccd so quickly locally that neither the water nor the 'ody of the metal rod have time to become hot. So rapid an evolution of heat ne-:e-sarily means a tremendously high temperature. In a very short time is high as 7,000 degrees Fahrenheit have been developed, which Is proven by using a cjrton rod instead of a aiet il one, when in a few moments imorphou-i carbon f agiuents are seen 1 ropplng ofT. The inventors claim to have at tained with large currents the cnor-inou-ly high temperature of 14,000 degrees Fahrenheit, or nearly live times hotter than molten iron. The Ilrst suggestion for the pra"ti ra! utilization of tho discovery w.is for welding purposes, to which it ij evidently particularly well adapted. Another application which the ex periments would seem to lead toward Is the tempering of one edge or one Extremity only of steel-cutting tools. The hardening of the skin surface iif large pieces of metal, such as r.rmor plates, oilers another inviting Held. Krupp, it is stated, is already trying this new method of electric lieating for tempering the superficial surface of large guns. KIcctricity. A SwIuk In Air. In an Interesting account of a jour ney through the great canons of the Colorado Kiver, Mr. Robert Urcwster btanton gives In tha Cosmopolitan a lively Impression of the danger of scaling those marble cliffs, ' which itand lrotn one to two thousand feet .n vertical walls, with scarce a tench jr ledge wide enough for a mountain iheep." We carefully picked our way around the lower points of the marble, up through a crack some two hundred Feet in height, and out upon a little ledge perhaps three feet wide that runs along the solid wall, till our progress seems cut otl by a sharp but tress that projects beyond the ledge. The buttre-s is V-shaped, the sharp point extending out over the bench. l)n the other side) of it Is the same little ledge. To reach it calls for strength, and muscle and something like the nimbleness of a cat, for with toe of boot and ends of fingers fastened on little points of marble on une side, It is necessary to reach Just such points on the other. I hesitate for a moment, look down over the precipice, and carefully cal culate how long it would take to reach the bottom. The wild flowera are blooming all over the slopes at the foot Of tho cliff. We cannot help each other, and each must stand back while the other reaches the ledgo beyond the dark Valley below. 'ot a word is spoken. Each one r.djusts his trappings that nothing may be out of place. Ilislon first swings around, and readies the ledge In safety. I placed my foot carefully on the edge of the wail, c!o;e to tha buttress and secure a good hold with my right hand. My lert foot is thrown round, and my left haul creeps along till it catches a little finger of marble which seems loft for the purpose. Just as I start to make the lean I am caught by my coat on the edge of tho marble, and held fast In mid -air. Again look down, aud calculate how long it would take to reach the bottom. With one strong effort I bend my back, loose iho coat, and safely land on the farther edge Kane has longer arms and legs and in a moment we are all around the buttress, raving swung our bodies clean out in the air, a thou sand feet of sh.'er wall below us, and as much more above. It requires a cool head and steady nerve, for, look 1 1' back, we eee it is impiis-siblc to rcmrn. Anolent Burial Cuatojn. The practice in early English his tory was to bury the heart and bowels of a prominent man in one church and his body la another.

It is one of tlie easiest task to ufta foA-l if one robj about it in tba risrlit way. The first necessity is samewnat dry, homo made bread. It is all very well to talk mbout baker' bread, but there are many cook who claim that really excellent tuffing cannot be made from it. Select well dried loci or little scrap cut o2 from any burnt portion, but not the crust. Butter the slice and sprinkle them with alt and pepper and a little sage, thyme or summer savory, accord ing as one may like those seasonings; then dust over these pieces the tiniest peck of baking powder. Cut tho lice into dice and fill the bird with these until no more can be pressed in. Close the bird with akewers, tie the wing down with strings and fasten the leg to the body in the same way. Very thin lice of salt pork should be cut and laid over the expowd portions of the fowl, the breast and le?s especially bein more likely to scorch than any of the other part. Tnese slices are fastened in placd with small skewers, or, if great pain is taken to remove them, with large pins. Every housekeeper should have a set of small sized taewers of metal expressly for this purpose. When the bird H ready, put it into the oven and add al least half a pint of water, or what is better, good soup stock. Baste the fowl every fifteen minutes and keep a careful aatchof it until done. Almost every one becomes familiar with her own oven, and tba time that is consumed in malting varou article. Tbeie is one thing that must not be over j looked, and that is that all meat of whatever sort should be thoroughly cooked. The rare-meat idea is an ex ploded one, and the time is not far dis tant when to eat it will be looked upon as almost barbarism. Of all unsaisfac tory and indigestible dishes an ill-cooked is the worst. I Prepared in the above fay, the stud I ing of a chicken or turkey resolve itself J into the work of a few . minutes. Tae continual basting gives the necessary j moisture to the dressing, the baking I makes it light as a feather, and the soup or other gravy gives the tiNvor thut epi cures like so well.

As I was sayin', they was a horrible accident and people was scat tered around in sections fer more than a hundred yards.

Indianapolis Journal. Why the Leaves Trembled. While Mr. Hudson was in Pata gonia he became much interested in a scout by the name of Sosa, who was famous for the almost preternatural keenness of his 6enes. In most other respects he was, as Mr. Hudson says, a regenerate being. In par. ticular, he was an inventerate horse thief a factwhlch was largely over looked by the authorities on account of t he exceeding value of his services in times of Indian warfare. In 1S61 Sosa had found It prudent to disappear for a season, and in the corapanv of five or six other gtuchos also offende's agalust the law. who h id fled to the refuge of the desert he atnu ed himself by hunting os tii 'hes along the l.io Colorado. On ihe twelfth of March tho hunt ers were camping beside a grove of willows in the valley, and about 9 o'clock that evening, while they were seate.i aoout me lire roasting tlieir ostrich meat, Sosa suddenly s; rng ud and hold hi3 hand high above his head for some moments. "Ihere Is not a breath of wind." he said, "and yet the leaves of the trees are trembling. What can this portend:-1" The other men stare 1 at the trees, but could see no motion, and began to laugh and ieerac s-'oa. Presently he sat down a,;aii!, re marking that the trembling had ceased; but for the rest of the even ing he seemed greatly disturbed In his mind. He remarked repeatedly , that such a thing had never happened to mm wsiore. lie could feci a breath of wind before the leaves felt It, aud there 1 ad been no wind. He feared it was a sign of 6onie disaster that was about to overtake t'.e party. The disaster was not for t' em.
