It was an ex tremely informal luet-tin? of the M'et Cary school board, held is Ephraim Olds's barn for con venience. The son of two of the di reotors had dropped in. "Yen, one of you boys has got te po," Marcus Loring appended. "Tout dads are too old to be driving over the country after school-ma'ams." "Where is she?" WaJo Loring in qnired, lazily. Wade had "clerked it" in a largei town, and wore better clothes thar any fellow in West Cary, and held i very complacent opinion of himself. "Lives down to Trenton," his father responded. "And what does she look like?' Wade demanded. He was smokiDg a cigarette. "If she's good-looking, you know, I might think of it." Pease hired her," said Mr. Olds, 'and he's the only one that's seen her." Mr. Pease was looking at Wade Jworing with shrewd eyes', which twinkled a little. "WaL" he said, drily, "she aln'i much to look at. A leetle too tall in the first place, and kind o' bi-j'lnted yes, kind o bony. Don't .'now as 1 can tell jest how she looks ; I didn't look at her no more'n I ccnid help. She ain't no beauty. . Beckon she's nigh on to forty. Malvina Fletcher's her name." "Ex-cuse me," said Wado Loring, with a laugh. "You'll have to con vey my deep regrets to Malvtna Fletcher, Bart, my boy." Bnt Burt Olds followed him out o! tho barn, looking anxious. He stood in some awe of Wade of his self-confident air, his dressiness, his popu larity with the girls. "If one of us has got to go, Wade, you'd do me an immense favor" hr began. "I can't do it, my boy," said Wade, decisively. ' 'Drive fourteen miles and fourteen miles back again' with an old trump? That isn't me I" - "It will nse up a day about," Burt insisted, "and Fm so busy with my onions I can't spare a day. If my crop's going to amount to anything, it's got to be' attended to right along. I know yon aren't busy just now " "Have a cigarette?" said Wade. "No? Well,Ican'tdoit,Bnrt. Sorry, you know, but really I couldn't. " And he sauntered away. Burt's father joined him later in hit faithfully-tended onion field, where Burt was palling weeds. "Wade won't go, will he?" he said. "Wal, I'd go if I could, Burt, but 1 don't know what a twenty-eight-mil drive would do to my rheumatism. J can't stand riding lately, somehow." "I'll go, fathef," Burt said cheel fully. He was a quiet, modest young fel low, who tried to do the right thing, aqd was not ashamed of having it soes Jt he tried to. He raised his handsome blue eyes and smiled at his regretful parent. "You're a good boy, Burt," said hit father, warmly. The West Cary school was to begil the next Monday. At two o'clock, on Saturday afternoon, Burt dfove np a shady street in Tenton village, and hitched his horse before an inviting little house painted in dull green, with a pretty porcL, and a iittie bed Of foliage-plants, and a hammock. A handsome, middle-aged woman answered his rinjr. . "Yes, tliis is Mr. Fletcher's," she laid. "I come from West Cary," Burt ex plained. . "Ah, yes! Malvina has been expect ing yon," the lady answered, smiling. "Will yon take this porch chair whilf roa wait ? - It is cooler here. " "Malvina's her husband's sister, 1 rappose," Burt thought, and whistled softly while he waited. He had but five minutes to wait, and then a straifge thing occurred A slonder yottng girl, with chestnut hair crimped around her delicate face, with bright, dark eyes and a vivid col oring, tripped out of the house, and hook hands' with him in the friendliest way. "I was all ready, yon see," she said , nd her quick smile made two distfnet Simple "CJood-by, Tom!' She bagged and kissed a fourteen-year-old boy; who had brought out a. big sat :heL "Good-by, mamma!", another Warm embrace. "I'm coming home next Saturday on the morning train, irid I'll get back somehow. I'll writ? k you before then. Good-by !" is Bart took the eatcjiel, and followed the affectionate, family 'group down the walk. X He felt dazed. gf did not kowejtacijy what be wet Iff 'doing; When do blooming young I-lady kissed her relatives yet again at the gate, he shook hands with them both, confusedly. Then be blushed; bnt the young lady looked pleased. A tight wind lifted the soft looks ot her crettr hair, as they drove away. Burt hardly dared look at her. He did not find bis voice till be had turned the first corner. "So you are Miss Fletcher Malvina Fletcher?" he said, abruptly. The new teacher turned her bright eyes upon him. "Who did you think I was?" she de manded. "Nobody I nobody," Burt falt ered. "Thank you I" Miss Fletcher cried, laughing ; and Burt laughed. He was half afraid of this bright young creature, with her charming prettiness and her lively ways; and yet, he felt oddly at ease with her, she was so cheerful and bo friendly. He did not know how he did it, bui. commencing stammeringly, he told her it the little joke which Mr. Pease had conceived and successfully carried through. "How funny I" Jttajvina xieicoei jried. - .'And how cute of him I I be lieve I shall like him. X thought I should when I saw him. I believe I can manage him, you know make him furnish new things for the school room, and raise my wages a dollar a week," she declared, merrily, Her dim ples twinkling. "i know you can I hum responded with warmth Burt, the bashful, the self-distrustfux, "You'll have him at vour merer, too, for you'll board there. They always board the teach ers. We live just round the corner from the Peases's," be added, more timorously. "I am glad, you do," Malvina re joined, frankly, and without blushing. "Ire a tennis court," said iJnrt- "if you play?" "Oh, yes badly l" Malvina laughed. "I am glad you do. Well have some Am.6s. I'm bnsy just now, but my onions will be oft my hands before long, and then I'll beat you eoms -rames if I can." Onions 1 How tar away and uninter esting they seemed ! The eolor in her oheeka was like that of a rose, and her eyes sparkled with quick sympathy and girlish enjoy- nent. The sun waa waning when they drove into West Cary. Bart had stopped and bought cara mels and bananas, and the half-emptied bags reposed in a companionable way between them. Malvina had taken her hat off, for it was warm, and her flower-like face hone forth in all its sweetness. Therefore, when Wade Loring came iriving down the street in his new buggy, and met Burt and the new teacher face to face, he almost dropped us lines. He stared I bis jaw dropped; be ow red and redder. Bewilderment was depicted on bis face disappoint nent, indignation. And Burt he conld not help it as ae drove on, laughed. The new teacher went home at thi nd of the first successful week of her labors in the West Cary school, but she did not go by train Saturday morn ing. She went in Bnrt Olds's phae ton, Friday night, after school, and he lrove back for ner Sunday afternoon. It was by no means the only time ihe made a trip home in the same way ; aor did Burt "hitch up" only on Fri days and Sundays. It became a matter of common knowledge that Burt Olds took the new teacher driving quite often on moonlight nights, and that they played heokers m Mr. Pease s parlor when ;hey did not go driving, and did other ugnincant things. "Malvina often wrote to her mother; but a portion of a letter written early in the winter, when her second term in West Cary was half done, was the most interesting of all her loving let ;ers: "1 can t wait tilt Friday night to tell you. oamttia we are engaged.

One limb became entirely helpless, and the skin was so dry and cracked that it would bleed. During these eight years she had .been treated by a score of physicians, and has also spent much time at Ann Arbor under best medical advioe. All said her trouble was brought on by hard work and that medicine would not cure, and tiat restwai the only thing whloh would extra her. After going to live with her daugh ter she became entirely helpless and oould not even raise her arms to cover herself at night. The Interesting put of the story fol lows In her own words: "I was urged to try Dr. Williams' Fink rills for Pale People and at last did so. in three days after I commenced taking rink Pills X oould sit up and dress myself, and after using them six weeks I went home and eommenoed working.

He also found that the speed ot sense differed for different organs, the 6ense of bearing being responded to In the sixth of a second, while that of sight required one-fifth of a second to be felt and signalled.

Ha sue ef the PacllTVOeeaW.-' , The Paeifio Ocean may be reckoned lo include 60,000,000 square miles, or more tban one-third of the total are of the earth's surface. It extends through nearly 135 degrees of latitude, pr three-eights of the world's cireum ferenoe a stretch of 9000 miles from north to south. From east to west it varies from an even greater length to leas than fifty miles. If confined by the smallest possible length of boundary tine, it would form a round pond 9300 miles in diameter. The deepest sound ing made by the Challenger expedition was in the Pacific, between the Caro lines and the Ladronee, and was 4475 fathoms, or 26,860 feet : a greater depth than the height of any mountain in the world except three. A still deeper rounding waa made from tne United States ship Tnaoarora, of 4000 fathoms, (27,600,) at the entrance to the Sea of Okotski; that being probably the deepest reliable sounding ever made. The Paciflo Ooean has not been ex plored nearly so thoroughly as the At lantic, and generalizations from the comparatively few statistics available bay be subject to considerable inaceur Loy ; but, putting together the recorded poundings, and taking into account aa Estimate of the depth based upon the iwiftness of the tide wave, it seems probable that the average depth of the Paeifio may safely be pnt at 8000 fathoms, (18,000,) or nearly 3 miles. This gives the entire contents of the Paciflo as nearly 232,000,000 cubio miles. Some conception of one cubio mile may be got from the statement that, if we had a block of buildings of that size, it would take an hour to walk around it at a good pace, and a fairly easy staircase to the top of it would contain 10,000 steps, while thirteen cathedrals as high as St. Paul's sould be piled up on one another with out reaching to the top. The cubio contents expressed in feet b thirty-four trillions, (thirty-four million million million.) This is a number it is not easy to realize ; it is to great that if a million clocks ticked once a second for a million years their soinbined tickings would net amount to it. As each cnbio foot or water weighs over sixty-two pounds, the weight of the Pacific is over 2000 tril lion pounds, or 950,000,000,000,000 )00 tons. Longman's Magazine. Fanny Mule.

Sutterliis and Sorrow. Iininediatelypreccdlngtholate wai the daughter of a wealthy Southern planter was beloved by two young men, a So itherner and a man from the North. She became engaged to the Northerner, and this so . enraged his rival that be swore to have bis life. The marriage did . not take place, for both young men felt It nec essary to fight In behalf of tbelr own sections of tbe country. Tbe young girl lived on during tbe early days ofj the war at ber father's house. One! day a man, worn oat and travel stained, sought refuge at the bouse and was admitted into the young wo man's presence She gave a cry of rapture, for it was ber Northern lover, and tben exclaimed with consterna tion: 'IIow did you get here? 'By crossing the line." "But If you are found here they will kill you." I could not resist seeing you." Then In an agitated manner she in formed him that a detachment of Southern soldiers was encamped be yond the small wood, and that the officer in command was bis former rival. . "You must go at once," she urged. "They come here for supplies, and if they find you they will kill you as spy." 'I know that," be returned in a gloomy manner. At this moment tbe door was burst ipen and a number of soldiers en tered tbe room. - Ah, here is the spy," said a voice. It was tbe Southern rival. "I am no spy." What are you doing here?'' "You should know. At this the Southerner waved bis arm to bis men.' "Leave tbe room," be said. The men obeyed. "Now, sir," said the Southerner, "you are aware what your fate will be?" "You cannot take me alive," wat tbe sullen answer. Tbe young woman threw herself before the Southerner. "You know be is no spy 1 " she ex claimed. "Well, be will be shot as one." Have you no mercy?" "What mercy have you bad for mer fie shall die like a dog." "See," she implored, "1 beg on mj knees. Could you not withdraw your men, or so arrange it that he may re turn?" "Possibly I could." "And you will?" On one condition." Name it." - lie bent over and whispered in hci ear. "Never!" she excla'tnaJ. Then he shall die." "Not as a spy I" exciaimed th. Northerner, rushing for the window. There was a short report. Tbe North erner staggered, placed bis hand to his t rcast, and then fell to the floor, dead, shot by bis rival before tbe eyes of the young woman who bad been the occasion of the bitter vendetta. That strange fate which bad permit ted the meeting of these two men under such circumstances bad occa sioned one more tragedy among the many remarkable and sorrowful events of the war. The opportunity for a bitter revenge bad been offered andagjsyd.

It has been estimated that out of the 65,000,000 people in the United States at least 15,000,000 are grown women of an age to wear kid gloves, and yet, according to tbe Dry Goods Economist, the import Is about 10, 000,000 pair from France, which is said to make 24,000,000 pair. When we realize that one woman of fashion can easily wear a hundred pair during the rear it would seem that many of our women are still to bo converted to the wearing of that dainty neces sity, a kid glove. Our large cities are Immense consumers. New York stores selling a larger number of kid gloves to the average woman inhabitant than any other city, except Paris, which of course does a large trade with its floating populace. The center of the glove trade has ilways been at Grenoble, a mountain city of 55, 000 people In France, where even the streets and public squares sing of gloves, as one of each Is named after Xavier Jouvin, a veteran In the i.innii'ncturin? of k1 pl30i. The raw sniui manufactured here in a year are valued at $4,000,000. When made into 15,000,000 pair of gloves the value is Just doubled, and tbe making up of the skins gives employ ment to 30,000 people. The skins for the so-called "real" kid gloves come from Franc. Italy. Spain, Mexico and South America, France ranking first where extreme care is taken with the kids, even to sewing tbe kid in a cover or blanket to keep tbe delicate skin in perfect condition. In the meantime the lit tle animal grows until the cover in flicts untold pain, but we never bear of ladies forming a society to promote the disuse ot kid gloves, as has been tried with the Audubon society for suppressing tbe fashion ot birds on bats. But tbe birds are not abso lutely necessary, or a substitute may De naa, wnne notmng win replace a good kid glove on a well dressed wo man of tbe resent day.

Jenner learned that there Is a right ind a wrong way in which to insert tbe virus in short, that the operation is a nice exercise of medical art. Us discovered that certain eruptive dis eases occurring at the same time make the best virus inoperative, and be as certained that there are many circum stances that rapidly destroy the vital ity of the virus when not properly cared for. He left the fruits of all these observations embodied in a set of rules of procedure that nearly a century of experience and medical ad vance has not improved upon. Of course, he could not foresee the won derful evolution In the methods of the production of the virus that now puts such a large and safe supply Into the hands of the practitioner. We, who tranquilly enjoy the fruits of the great deliverance from the hor rible and universal plague of smallpox, see and know so little of it as not to be able to form any Just conception of the monstrous proportions of the scourge when unchecked. The average death rate from It throughout England was such that if applied to the present popu lation It would give 70,000 per annum: In London alone before 1804 the an nual deaths were 2,013 in a population of 1.000.000: In 1S90, in a population of 4,000,000, there was Just one death from smallpox.
