The good doctor sprang up and put his head out of the win dow. "What is wanted?" he called. "I.i that Doctor Banks?" The voice was a clear treble, and he SouM distinguish a female form in the street below. "Yep," he answered ; "what do yon want ?" "Oh! doelor," said the voice t rem t:"-'i.sly ; "jiloisse come with me at onca My lister is !yinp, I fear."

IKr fea tur..'s, although pinched and pale, were c!enr-cut and classic Her voica wat lo'.v nnd well modulated, and, in Nj'ite nf !n r apparent poverty, she had th' i:r of n woumn oi' refinement. The doctor was soon ready, nnd to pf th'-r tin y left the house. Slie led him by many turns, Ihronph narron ttrt'ttf, until tli3 upened a door into n lon', dark passage between two dwell ings nnd passed in. The doctor fol lowed her without hesitation.

On the f.j-.;iih landing he opened a door end entered an apartment. In a moment they stood beside a pallet on which lav a woman. The invalid stirred, and turning her wan face to them asked feebly: "ILivo you brought the doctor, Alice V "Yes, dearest," and turning to him "Dr. Bank.", this is my sister, Miss Ccrnold." The change his name made on the sick woman was electric. From utter listlessness sha was aroused t the in tensest excitement. A deep flush over spread her face, aud her eyes sp:ir';ied like coals as she raised herself upon her iliow- aud gnzed into his face. "It is not him," she muttered ; "yu yes there is a likeness!" fSh- paused, nnd abruptly addrossins, the doctor said: "Hud you ever u brother, Dr. Banks?"' Her voice was clear and resonant, it marked contrast to her previous m tit terings. The doctor answered flov. iy and deliberately : "Yes, madam." "And his name was Henry?" "Yes." "Where is he now?" A dark shndo passed over his fiice. 'I do not know," he 6aid ; "I hnvt not heard from him for three yenrs. The lust word I had was a letter he wrote me from California, tailing ol his engagement to a Sun I'ratieiseo girl a psragon of beauty and goodness." "That inr:igon is before yo;i or, rather, the w reck your faithless brother has left of her." The doctor caught his breath. "Mis Carnold," ho said, "this is a terrible surprise to me ! But, come now, your sister shsll tell mo ull. Meanwhile, you must not excite yourself, but must obey mv directiousstrietlv, if vou wis! to get well." The doctor found that hex's w.is n. organic trouble, but rather a general exhaustion of nature's powers, arising from worry and insufficient food. Jle gave her a qnieting potion, and she' fell into a gentle slumber. Ho then' asked Miss Alice to ive him an ac count of how the trouble with hi brother had happened. In answer she related that her sister had met Henry Banks at a reception. He was voting and handsome nnd hac won her heart. Her father gave hit consent to their marriage, end th day was set. Then followed Mr. C'ar nold's death, and the full from wealth to poverty. He left nothing but hit debts. But the climax of their trou bles eamo when Jlenry Ban!."; disap peared, leaving a letter for his li;i:u-e ttatiug that he had decided to starl anew elsewhere aXui Mie would ucvel seo him again. The two women then worked their way to Xew York, hop ing to meet friends of their father who once lived there, but only to find them dead. They had then rented then present apartments, and eked out a scanty living by taking iu sewing. I nder the severe strain Mary's health gave way, nnd she was prostrated. The younger sister, on her way for t uhvsiciati, had been attracted by lr. IlaTik's sign and had sought his r.M. When she had finished her recital, the dor-tor wnssilent for a time 'lia Carnold," lie said at last, "theso 8urronnding3 are not congenial to you. ?sow I have a proposition to make which I beg yon will accept in the same spirit that it is offered. The second floor of my hou' - is vacant, and I want you to occupy it. When your sister is well enough to remove we will take her there, and you shall be niori ?omfortable." Alice's only answer we.s to burst into tears. The tender-hearted doctor sat down beside her and took her hand. "Won't yon consider me your friend, iliss Carnold," he said carnefctlr, "an v;cejt (his offer?" She raised her lovely tear-stained face aud their eyes met. "Ir. Banks," she exclaimed, "you" kindness quite overpowers me. Ferhaps I ought to doubt you and spurn your proposal, but I am going to accept, for it seems to me that Providence has sent you to us." ' "I trust that I shall prove a trut emissary of Providence," he answered. Two weeks passed.

Among the unnecessaries of such jeeasions is '.h pnt-h'n-j nnd piceir.?? otit of clothes-liues, the work of rui bing them with wet rags and the not anusual occurrence of a bad break, when the entire contents of the line may have to be rinsed again, even if it not necessary to give them a thorough vashing to remove spots and stains. Clothes-lines should be carefully ;aken down as soon as the clothes are dry. In doing this do not drag them on the ground or pull them over the dusty walks or porches, for they are liable to be damp and will catch any particles of dirt that they come in con tact with. This necessitates a thorough cleaning when they must be used again, or the risk of making spots on the clothes. Tie the line up iu a close bale and put it in a bag kept expressly for "Jiis purpose. Some people leave the lines out from week to week, and, as a consequence, have to clean them and take the chances of having streaks and soils on the clean clothes, or, worse than this, find them parted in some weak spot and the wash spattered and dragging in the mud. The few minutes' work uecessnry to take down and put away all lines is time well sjient.- Xew York ledger. SOME HINTS ABOUT TRIPE.

The reporter was welcomed at the Wilson home, and the enthusiastic lady with becoming reluctance gave the his tory of her affliction and the manner in which she was rolieved : "Yes," said Mrs. Wilson, "I was for D years an invalid with one of the most dis tressing afflictions woman can suffer.

An English physician named Mo po ther has been making researches into the influence of certain kinds of food on baldoess. Two of the forms of food, he asserts, that nearly everyone takes every day, beef and milk, have, by their chem ical composition, the effect of annihi lating the primordial elements of the hair and withering the roots. Doctor Mopotber thinks that different albumin oid food and starchy substances, partic larly dark colored oats, which contain twenty-two per cent, of silica, have a powerful effect in making the hair grow. The races of men that have the finest hair are usually those living on starchy substances and vegetables. Detroit Free Press.

The new leather "membranoid," or 'boucle," is somewhat puzzling to those who are not in the secret of its origin. It is neither more nor less than tripe, tanned by a new process and prepared for use in about ten days. It is said to be the lightest leather known and as pli able as cotton cloth.

The ihOian Homim, A hornbill is something like a big Aagpie in all its sly tricks and ways. It catches little ball of food, if thrown to it, with a sharpness and precision worthy of a cricketer. On one ooeasion, when Mrs. Hornbill had made herself nest in tha hollow trunk of the tree in their house and deposited her eggs in it, Mr. Hornbill came and plastered up the opening with mud, leaving only a small space sufficient for him to insert his bill and feed the female and nestlings. He feeds them in a very affectionate man ner, by throwing up from his own stomach pellets of food, enveloped, eomething like a sausage, in "gizzard sacs" formed of portions of the in terior lin:ag chis own st-mach.
