A Pullman Car Episoda
BY wiw.w STVXEB CIiARK.
HAD just dropped
my numerous trapt
on the front seat oi
seotion eight, car
number twelve, ot
the Chicago
limited, which left
New York fJitv nn
Tnesilft-v rf Ihk t
week, when the
brakeman cried
All aboard I" the
engineer opened
the throttle, the
engine bejran to
labor, and by the time the last car had
reached the end of that vast Jersey
City shed the train was at full speed,
bearing its precious freight I say
precious because every one had a full
pooket-book, and nocessarily so tc
he World's Fair.
Unlike most men, 1 travel without
either a silk skull-cap, a smoking
jacket, a duster, or a pair of home
made slippers, for my street clothes
and etoeteras are comfortable enough,
and even if they were positive torture,
all-possesainz vanitr forbids that I
should make an uncomely spectacle of
my carefully-adorned person, as some
eareless-of-appe&rance sybarites are
Wont to do in their journeyings. So,
vithout wasting time in getting into
fleshabille, I sank into the unoccupied
seat and viewed the passing landscape
nntil my head began to ache. Then I
turned my attention, not to a book,
ut to my fellow-passengers.
Sitting directly opposite me was a
girl. One glance was enough to tell
tne that she was divine in features,
form and dress. Of course, having
glanced once I glanced again, and at
the second glance I thought I detected
something familiar about her. Where
had I seen her? The third glance
tolved the question.
Five years ago, when twenty-one, 1
pent the summer at Bichfield, and
there met Margie Fenton. Margie was
fair, with laughing eyes, cherry lips,
nd a figure of willowy grace. Margie,
too, was rich or, at least, her father
was. Can you blame me for falling in
love with her?
Ah, what a summer we spent I Bides,
Arives, dances, dinners, luncheons,
tennis, moonlight rambles, and best oi
alL long talks in dark corners where
hands were clasped and vows of eternal
love were exchanged. And so we lived
in elysium ; the pleasures of eaoh day
marred only by regret that its passage
brought the season nearer to its close.
September 25th was the day set by
the Fentons for their departure. I
kad to stay longer because my mother,
supreme in her ownership of the pocket
book, so wished. Shall I ever forget
the day ? 'X he train left in the early
forenoon, and with it went the sun
shine of my life, leaving me inconsol
able. My only comfort was in writ
ing letters. This I did at the rata of
five a day for one week ; but as Mar
gie wrote only seven in that time, I,
fearing thnt I would nnnoy her,
dropped to tho same number. We
kept it up for two months. Then she
began to skip a day now and then, and
so did I. After a littlo her ardor was
represented by only two letters a
veck ; mine by the same number.
This rate was continued for about s.x
months, when all of a sudli-n rie
itopped entirely, and I did likewiso.
thus ended the same old story.
However, her cyea, her lips and her
figure had remained fresh in my mem
ory. Glancing once more at her across
the way I felt almost certain that she
was Margie Fenton. There was a slight
change in her figure, to be sure. She
had grown more plump, as healthy
girls are apt to do as the years go on ;
her hair, too, was probably a degree
lighter, but that often happens with
the druggist's aid. But the nose, the
eyes, the mouth, I could not be mis
taken in them. "Yet, if it is she why
doesn't she recognize me?" I asked
myself. "Surely she doesn't blame
me for breaking our summer engage
ment?" She evidently did, however,
for she never looked up from the book
she held before her, though she knew
that I was intently watching her. But
this knowledge apparently caused her
no annoyance, for her face wore a
roguish smile, which could not hae
been provoked by the contents of hi
novel, since she was professing to read!
"Jess, and was looking at the pages
near lis pamiuiiy sua cna. 00 x came
to the conclusion that she was Margie,

f old Affection, and renewed the bond)
which I wore with such pleasure in thi
days gone by.
While I sat trying to muster uj
courage to address her, and just about
the time I had succeeded, the portet
came through the train announcing,
"Luncheon now ready in the dining
car !" The words acted upon mj
divinity with astonishing celerity. She
dropped her book, utterly tegardlesi
of her place, and rising from her seal
without even glancing in the mirrort
that are so numerous in Pullman earn,
passed out with a smile, but never s
look in my direction. My first im
pulse was to follow her, but on second
thought I decided differently. She
answered the porter's call with such
avidity I reasoned that her hunger was
her first consideration for the nonce;
and when a girl is .hungry there is
woeful lack of sentiment about her.
So I was still, framing a conversation
for later use. I. thought of many
pretty things to say ; then I thought
of many more. An age seemed to have
passed, but still she ate.
I glanced over a railroad-guide
which was stuck in a frame near the
door ; then I glanced over it again
but she kept on eating. I walked to
the other end of the car and dropped
into a seat which was occupied by a
newspaper, from which I read adver
tisements but still she ate. I looked
at my watch ; she had been gone forty
five minutes. "How can so lovely a
creature have so vulgar an appetite ?"
I said, almcst aloud. "Why, I
wouldn't " A ray of sunshine shiv
ered the car. I lookei up, and thera
she was. I gathered my courage,
gave a hasty thought to my pretty say
ings, and with a beating heart walked
up to her and said :
"I beg your pardon, but are you not
Miss Fenton, Miss Margie Fcnton, oi
New York?"
She gazed np into my face, and as
the color slowly mounted her checks,
and a hundred little imps played
games in her eyes, replied : "Xo ; but
I've been mistaken for her very, very
often."
I was "set flat back" as the inele
gant but forcible colloquialism has it
and could only stammer: 'Tar
pardon me. Fray don't think me for
ward, will you ?"
"jly 1 no, quite the contrary, ill.
Fenton was a very pretty girl, and to
be taken for her is quite flattering.
She was also ade&r friend of mine, and
if you were acquainted with her that
is sufficient recommendation. Won't
you be seated?" And here the hun
dred little imps tugge I at her pretty
mouth until they had arched it in a
most mischievous smilo. She removed
the books and boxes which littered the
seat beside her, saying that I preferred
riding backward, which was the truth
I wanted to study her face.
This she seemed to understand, fox
taking a heavy veil from her satchel,
she tied it about her face just low
low enough to conceal her eyes, giving
as an excuse for her action that the
jarring of the train loosened her curls.
There is something mysterious about
you, my lady, I thought, as I hastily
glanced at her traps in the hope of as
certaining her name. She watched me
closely, and junt as my eye caught
sight of the little silver plate on her
hand-bag she reached for it and placed
it plate downward iu her lap. Her
object was so apparent that it embar
rassed us both very much, but being a
man I recovered more quickly than
she, and set a trap.
"Jlou snatched that satchelas though
I were a thief, Miss Miss "
She took the bait. "Xot Miss nv
all," she replied, "but Mrs. Mrs.
Tommy Trenton Trix."
"Then you are married?" And halt
my interest in this pretty woman went
out with the question.
"Yes ; and Miss 1 enton was at mj
wedding.
She was silent a moment,
and then continued : "J. oeneve, too,
that that was the last social event shf
ever attended."
There seemed to be a touch of sad
ness in her voice. All kinds of horrible
things suggested themselves to my
mind. The love of the summer of 1S8S
came rushing upon me with cyclonic
force. With a gigantic effort I man

Dear Jewel: After the crash of the
last reception and your parting with
Lcm Lion, I noticed your sleeves still
retained their outstanding eitect, while
nine alasl were like certain of my fond
hopes smashed! Please tell me what
rour modiste puts in your sleeves
to inflate them so gloriously and effec
tively. Your skirt, too, is a model of
elegant swelldom; how is that grace of
breadth secured? I am now preparing
my order for Newport costumes, and
will appreciate any information you
:au give me.
Yours lovingly,
Rosa Bombast.

Deab Kosa: Tiio crush of the re
ception was good tho crush of I.ui
Lion's, parting was better! He is a
dear, delightful bear! and we were in
constant disgrace until we discovered
an interlining that would resume 1U
outstanding effect after great pressure.
I use fibre chamois. I heard of it
lirough Sue Spendthrift You know
Sue Well, her husband lost his for
tune in Wall street last Summer', and
sue told mamma she wouldn't feel half
10 badly if she could only get a new
spring suit, so mamma, who is always
practical, secured her a scholarship in
McDowell's garment drafting school,
N'o. 4 West 14th street, New York.
I gave Sue my garment drafting ma
chine, and she took the course of les
sons in drafting, cutting, fitting, sew
ing and finishing, and Rose, you just
ulit to see the dress that the girl we
used to think so lazy and useless,
made! It is eimply perfectl
Then she found out all about
10 many of the very best arti
cles to use in making dresses
for example, she learued that
ibre chamois is net injured by damp
ies, therefore it is just the inter
niing for the sea shore. It is season -ible,
being light, porous and healthful.
'.t is essentially elastic, therefore no
jacking pressure hurts it. Fibre
chamois now comes in three weights,
S'os. 10, 20 and 30. I use No. 10 in
ileeves and No. "0 in skirts, but Sue
lses 20 in all parts. Y'ou can get it in
ilate, brown and chamois color, but be
.-cry careful Rosa, when you buy this
inter-lining to get that stamped with
Jicir trade mark Fibre Chamois, for
.here are worthless imitations around
.hat should be ignored.
Affectionately,
Jewel Up-to-date.
P. S. Sue's dress is trimmed with
xis brown Velutina, which looks just
ike silk velvet, and is far more dur
ilile. It now conies in all colors, cut
jna in desirable widths for dress trim
mings, and, Rose, you know without
lolling that bias Velutina facingB and
xrdings for skirt edges wear better
than any of tho others.

Ancient Use of the Parachute.

prisoner in -Egypt astonished the na
tives by jumping safely from a high
tower, impeding his downward pro
cess and "landing" without too vio

his head. The parachute, aa we know
it now, is said to have been invented
by an adventurous Frenchmen who ex
hibited it in Paris in 179G, and early
in this century an English aeronaut
named Green precipitated himself,
with a parachute's restraining aid,

Mrs. V. Curley, who has rsslded In Clarenoe,
Iowa, for the past twenty-two years, tells an
Interesting story of what she considers rescue
from premature death. Her namttt is as
follows:
"For ten years prior to 189, I was a con
stant sufferer from acute atomaeh trouble. X
had all the manifold symptoms of Mute dys
pepsia, and at times other troubles were pres
ent in eompUoation I did not know what it
was to enjoy a meal. Ko matter how careful
I might be as to the quality, quantity and
preparation of my food, distress always fol
lowed eating. I was despondent and blue.
Almost to the point of insanity at times, and
would have been glad to die. Often and
often 1 could not sleep. Sympathetic heart
trouble set in and time and again I was ob
liged to call a doctor in the night to relievo
sudden attacks of suffocation which would
come on without a moment's warning.
"My troubles increased as time wore on and
I spent large sums in doctor bills, being com
pelled to have medical attendants almost con
stantly. During 1893 and 1893, it was im
possible for me to retain food, and water
brashes plagued me, I was reduced to a
skeleton. A consultation of physicians was
unable to determine just what did ail me.
The doctors gave us as their opinion that the
probable trouble was ulceration ot the coals
of the stomach and held out no hope of re
covery. One doctor said, 'All I can do to
relieve yoursuffering is by the use of opium.'
"About this time a friend ot mine, Mrs.
Byrnantha Smith, ot Olidden, Iowa, told me
about the ease oi Mrs. Thurston, of Oxford
Junction, Iowa. This lady said she had been
a allot nd much th same as I had. She had
oonsulted local physioians without relief, and
had gone to Davenport for treatment, diving
up all hope of reoovery, she was persuaded
by a friend to take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills.
Tn result was almost magical.
"I was led to try them from her experience,
and before many months I felt better than
I had for a dozen years. I am now almost
free from trouble, and if through some error
ot diet I feel badly, this splendid remedy sets
me right again. I have regained my strength
and am ono more in my usual flesh. I sleep
well and can eat without distress. I have no
doubt that I owe my reoovery to Dr. Wil
liams' Pink Pills, x only wish that I had
heard ot them years ago, thereby saving
myself tea years ot suffering and much
money."
Dr. Williams' Fink Pills contain all the ele
ments neoessary to give new life and richness
to the blood and restore shattered nerves.

flow an Old Lady and Her Shawl Car
ried Death with Them.
The tenacity and virulency of stuall
4ks germs are to the medical frater
nity one of the wonders of contagion,
and were never made apparent so
startllngly as a few years ago In the
village of Hector, N. Y. This Is 'an
Isolated place, being at the time small
pox became epidemic there twenty
miles from any railway, and its people
rarely traveled far from home and few
strangers were visitors there. Enrly
In the fall smallpox broke out in the
village. The disease was not known
to be anywhere In the vicinity. Hot?
It happened to appear there was a
mystery that remained Unsolved for
months, but was at last cleared up
through the investigation and inquiry
of Dr. Purdy, of Elmlra.
Dr. Purdy learned that one day in
the winter preceding the breaking out
of the smallpox In Hector a passeDger
ou nn Erie Railway train was taken
violently 111 just after leaving Sala
manca, and a physician who was on
board the train discovered that the
passenger had the smallpox. When
this became known the other passen
Crs In the car hurriedly left It for
another one. The car containing the
smallpox victim was placed on a sid
ing when the train reached Hornells
rlile, where it was quarantined.
Among the passengers who left tin
car when the rase was made known
was an old Indy who had a ticket from
Elinira. Her seat had been the one
belli ud the one where the man with
the smallpox sat She bad with ber a
small shoulder shawl, which bad hung
on the back of the seat ahead of her.
When she left the train at Elmlra she
took a Northern Central train for Wat
kins, the nearest station to Hector,
to which place she was going on e
rislt to her son's family. '
She remained there until the follow
lug fall, when she was driven by her
son to visit another son, some miles
distant The day was extremely cold,
and her son's ears being In danger
of freezing she took the shoulder shawl
from her sachel, where It bad been
ever since she put it away on leaving
the Erie train at Elmlra the previous
trinter, and wrapped It about his bead.
A few days after the son returned
home to Hector ho became violently
111 Beforo It was known what his
ailment was he was visited by various
neighbors. Then his disease was pro
nounced smallpox, and It was such a
malignant case that he died within
a few days. The disease became epi
demic, and was not eradicated until
the following summer. Every family

OMEN'S FACES
like flowers, fade
and wither with time;
the bloom of the rose
is only known to the
healthy woman's
cheeks. The nerv
ous strain caused by
the. ailments and
pains peculiar to the
sex, and the, labor
and worry of rearing
a familv. can often
be traced by the lines in the woman's face.
Dull eyes, tne sallow or wrinkled face and
those "feelings of weakness" have their
rise in the derangements and irregularities
peculiar to women. The functional de
rangements, painful disorders, and chronic
weaknesses ot women, can be cured with
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. For the
young girl just entering womanhood, for
the mother and those about to become
mothers, and later in "the change of life,"
the " Prescription " is just what they need ;
it aids nature in preparing the system for
the change. It's a medicine prescribed for
thirty years, in the diseases of women, by
Dr. K. V. Pierce, chief consulting physician
to the Invalids Hotel and Surgical Insti
tute Buffalo, N. Y. Dr. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription will cure the chronic inflamma
tion of the lining membranes which cause
such exhausting drains upon the system.
It cures nervous prostration, sleeplessness,
faintneas, nervons debility and all disorders
arising from derangement of the female
organs and functions.

Home-made candy ia best for tho
children. The following recipes coma
from the Boston Cooking School :
Peppermints Put on to boil one
and one-half eupfuls of granulated
sugar and one-half cupful of water,
cooked until it will just gather to
gether in cold water ; it must not be
cooked until it can be gathered into a
soft ball like the fondant. When
cooked to the right degree add four
heaping teaspoonfula of confectioner's
sugar ; if it seems too stiff to drop put
it directly over the fire and heat it up
again. Just before pouring out add
six drops of oil of peppermint. Turn
out in shape, usinp: a tunnel and a
' long-handled wooden stopper, lifting
the stopper high enough to allow the
i mixture to flow into the right size.
Different kinds may be made by using
nifferent flavorings and colorings.
Buttercups Boil two eupfuls of
molasses, one cupful of sugar, three
quarters of a cupful of water, one
heaping tableapoonful of butter, one
half teaspoonful of cream of tartar ,
without stirring. When done pour
on to a buttered platter ; when it can
be handled pull nntil light colored.
Place on a slightly-floured board,
and stretch out into a long, narrow
shape ; into the centre fold some French
fondant, and roll out and cut
Porto Bico molasses of a medium grade
is best for candy. Measure the batter
as rounding as the spoon hollows;
measure out an even teaspoonful of
cream of tartar, and divide length-wise
for the half spoonful The cream of
tartar is not added to make the candy
white, as many people think, but to
keep it from granulating.
Nut Nougat Melt one pound of
sugar in a saucepan, stirring con
stantly to prevent burning, as there is
no water in it Add one cupful of
hickory nut meat, slightly salted.
Pour into buttered pans, and mark
into squares. It may be more con
venient for some to measure the sugar
in a cup than by weight ; in that case,
remember that two eupfuls, or ono
pint, of granulated sugar weighs a
pound. This rule is only for granu
lated sugar, as it would require a
larger quantity of powdered sugar to
weigh the same. Put all the ingredi
ents into a granite-ware saucepan
one that has been used for melting
butter or lard is best The flavor of
the candy is much improved if a little
salt is sprinkled over the nuts beforo
mixing together. The nuts should be
heated thoroughly before stirring into
the syrup, and the place on which it is
to be poured should be hot When
the candy is poured on the plate, cut
into narrow strips or bars .quickly,
with a thin, sharp knife. Rapid work
is necessary in making nut bar. Many
other nuts are used in place' of
hiokory nuts. Peanuts, shelled,
skinned, and chopped fine, are gene?
allyliked; whole almonds spread over
the surface of the candy are very
good; English walnuts, cast an as, or
any other nut, chopped fine, give an
excellent flavor. This candy ia easily
made, and is generally liked.
Ci'eam Caramels Boil three eup
fuls of sugar, one half cupful of butt
ter, one cupful of milk, and one
square of sweet chocolate for ten
minutes. Beat until cold; add one
tablespoonful of vanilla. Beat with a
patent egg-beater until it begins to
sugar around the kettle, then pour it
in a buttered tin, and cut in squares.
The sugar for candy of any kind should
be measured just level in one of the
r.-.r-tar mecsTiri!: cups boiling half a
pint Pack the butter into the cup
solid. Put all the ingredients except
the chocolate into a granite ware ket
tle, and boil for ten minutes without
stirring ; and boiling means to have
the whole surface of the candy bub
bling and bursting for the specified
time. As small an amount of choco
late as is used in this rule can be
scraped fine or grated and put into
the sugar dry ; if a large amount were
to be used the better way to use it
would be to break the cake in tiny
pieces and put in a bowl, setting this
in the opening in the tea-kettle, or
over steam in some way, to melt the
chocolate. When the taffy has been
boiled the requisite time remove from
the stov6 and beat rapidly with the
egg beater, watching the sides of the
dish carefully to see when the mixture
begins to granulate. Do not put the
vanilla extract in the taffy until tho
beating is finished, as extract of any
kind tends to form the mixture into
grains. It is rather difficult to beat
the candy with an egg-beater, but it is
the only way to do it thoroughly.
When the taffy is turned out on the
pan cut into squares quickly with a
thin, sharp knife. New York Ob

A group of Congressmen were sitting
in the half deserted hall of the House
when Judge Livingston, of Georgia,
remarked to General Cogswell, of Mas
sachusetts .
"If it had not been for the leniency
shown by you to me on a certain occa
sion I would not be here to-day."
"How is that?" inquired Cogswell.
'Do you remember one evening that
your regiment was scouring about At
lanta and captured a fellow who was
wandering about that country ? The
circumstances of the capture made the
prisoner liable to trial as a Bpy. I was
the prisoner. I had a f ar m about there
and was looking to get home for a
glimpse at my people. You were good
enough to decide that I was not liable
to the charge of being a spy and let me
go. The next evening I had five of
your men in my hands. I kept them
shut up in the barn over night and
then turned them loose." New York
