"i"or snamc!" cried Kendal Trance, who knew the youth, a pitiful fellow enouli, what's the meaning ot this?" Hut it was the girl who replied, 6tanding there with heaving chest and a frown dark as midnight upon her straight brows: He kin let me bo after this," she remarked, scowling toward the vie tiinof her own magnitlcent strength.

There happened to be in Hartford it the time an old farmer from the ncighliorbood of Ldtchficld Hill, whe heard that Tom Thumb was in the place, and resolved that he would see Wax before he went home.

At various times I was affected with nervous twitchings and involuntary movements of he muscles of my face aud limbs that I was nlarmed lest it should terminate with nar- alysts.

The duties of the week, if appor tioned to certain days, will make work easier to mistress and maid. and if these days and duties are put down in black and white in view of the Kitchen goddess th y will impros? thi mselves more readily upon hci mind and leave no excuse for the for gettings which servant girls are sc uldict d to. A const in t bugbear of the kitchen is the maid who "forgets" that there is no sugar, or butter, or coffee just at the rnuiu nt when dinner is ready to be s rved. There is nothing mort exasperating th in this p'lase of do 'nrstic annoyancp. A Boston cooking school once had a wooden "marketing card" for the kitshen wall, which could be used to advantage by housekeepers, and could be copied in homemade form. It consisted ot a light wood frame pro vided with slips of dark wood upon which were marked the nam s of ttu iifferent housekeeping stores sugars, tea, soap, starch, etc These wooden slips were arranged in slots and could be moved into place igainst the light background. When any particular supply gave out the corresponding slip was brought in vi w upon the i.-d, and when tho grocery order was given nothing necessary could be forgotten. This plan will work to perfection with the most "difficult" of help, who will re fuse to understand all other modes of ex rcising their memories. Boston Globe. A Id t tie Quaker.

A few weeks ago a number of well- known resident of Butte left here on a prospecting expedition to the Big Hole country. Among the number were W. D. Clark and Thomas J. How ard. They are men of unimpeachable veracity, who number their friends by the hundreds in this city. This latter statement is perhaps made necessary by what is to follow. The gentlemen returned to Butte bust evening, and to-day filed for record a location notice of the Catalpa lode claim, which the notice says is located three miles south of Divide Station, on the Fleecer Mountain, a portion of country that has not been prospected very thoroughly on account of the large amount of snow in that locality during the summer months. The re markable part of the locating of this claim is the statement of the locators tbnt they discovered a tunnel fully fif ty feet long, which had been driven Into the mountain apparently several years ago. In prospecting along the side of the mountain the men found several pieces of good-looking copier ore in a hollow which they at first supposed had been a buffalo wallow in the days when those animals roamed the prairies of tho Big Hols country. The prospect ors, believing that there was lead somewhere In tho vicinity, began to dig In the mountain side. After an hour's hard labor they were consider ably surprised to find the earth sudden ly yield to the blows of the pick and a big hole loom np before them. They cleared away the earth and en tered a tunnel about six feet high and four feet wide, walled In with blocks of stone. The top of tho tunnel was protected by large flat stones, and for about twenty -five feet there was not a break in the primitive timbering. About twenty-five feet from the mouth of this tunnel the prosiectors came to a spot where the earth had apparently broken down the stonework, and after clearing away the debris the men wero enabled to go In about twenty-five or thirty feet further, nero they camo to a ledge, which was carefully exam ined, but as to what was discovered there tho men will say nothing, except that they found some implements made of stone which had apparently been used In driving the tunnel. The men are positive that tho work was not done In this ago or generation, for the reason that at the mouth of the tunnel there was a hardy pine tree growing and the ground surrounding it was covered with a growth of sage brush which has not been disturbed for years. The men are very reticent as to tlie discovery, and all efforts to ascertain the extent and richness of the ledge have been unavailing. They will re turn to the place as soon as they secure a quantity of supplies. Butte Iuter- Mouutain. Colonics in a Stocking. Carlyle gave us tho philosophy of i-lothes; now Dr. Seitz, of Munich, gives us their bacteriology. On examining a worsted stocking he found 050 thriv ing colonies, while on a cotton sock tliero were 712. Both these articles had lieeu worn, but no information Is vouch safed as to the personal habits of the wearer. Thirty-three coldnles wero found on a glove, twenty on a piece of woolen stuff and nine on a piece of flotli; none of these articles had been worn. On a piece of cloth from a gar ment which had been worn a week hero were twenty-three colonies. Of :he micro organisms found on articles of clothing relatively few were calla ble of causing disease. Tho patho uenle species wero almost without ex- eptlon staphylococci.

British Medical Journal. Just Like Other Children. The Queen and Trlnce Albert were not unlike the rest of the world's fond mothers and fathers in their children's early days. Any quaint saying was treasured and repeated again and again. The Empress Frederick was quite an unusually advanced and gift ed little girl, and the Queen to this day recalls with pride how "Vicky," when only 8 years old, taking a walk In Windsor Forest, pointing to the view, turned to her governess and exclaimed in a pretty French accent, "Volla lo paysage Qui deroule a men pleds." Another day. It seems, the Princess Royal had been rather naughty. Her governess, pointing out a little girl in the High street, said: "Do you not see what a very good little child that is?" T dare eay," answered the Princess. dryly, "and I have no doubt she has no lally governess." Woman at Home. Bnrdette Goes Shopping.

After the teeth have been cleaned "secundum arteni," writes an English physician, a very simple and efficient mouth wash will be found in water reddened with the permanganate of potash. A bottle containing a strong solution ot this may be kept in the dressing-room and a little added to the tumbler full of water we mean to use. This permanganate is a useful disintectant in many ways. Such a wash sweetens the breath, too; that is, if the mischief arises from the teeth. Foul breath is a terrible atlliction. and, as it may some times point to diseases of a dangerous character if a mouth wash does not remove it, a medical man should be xmsulted.

It Is usually considered a note worthy circumstance for a man or woman to be married three times: but of o'd tbe numter would have been thought little; of. Saint Je rome mentions a widow that married her twenty-second husband, who In his tuin had been married to twenty two wives surely an experienced :ouple! A woman named Elizabeth Masi. who died at Florence. 1768, had been maried to seven husbands, all of whom she outlived. She married the last of the Seven at the ace of 70. When on her deathbed she recalled the good and bad points of each of her hus bands, and . having impartially weighed them in the balance, she singled out her fifth spouse as the favorite, and desired ber remains might be interred near his. The death of a soldier is recorded in 1784, who had five wives, and his widow, aged Sio, wept over the grave of her fourth husband. The writer who mentioned these facts Vainly added, ' The said soldier was touch attached to the married state." There is an account of a gentleman who was married to four wives, and live! to be 115 years old. When ho died he left twenty-three "children" alive and well, some of the said children being from three to four score years old. A gentle'man died at Bordeaux, in 1772, who had been married sixteen times. In July, 1768, a couple were living in Essex, who had been mar ried ninety-one years, the husband being 107 and the wife 103 rears of age. At the church of St. Clement Danes, in 1772, a woman of 85 was married to her sixth husband.

A good atory Is told of a well-known landlord who baa been having any imount of trouble during the baru times to collect rents from his tenants. There was a certain man with a large Family, who had occupied a part of one if his houses in the suburbs for a num ber of years. The man was thoroughly lonest, but down on his luck. The land lord bore the loss of his rent with con dderable fortitude until he thought It ,., -nrnA one pise's turn to help the fe' low ? little; wen he went to mm one nay and told him, with all seriousness, that he was Intending to give the house a going over; it waa out of repair? and he had decided to expend a little money on It and make some important alterations, and. as it would be some expense for the man to move, he generously offered to order a team for him and settle tbe bill himself. , The matter waa arranged with the utmost friendliness on both side-, and the landlord went his way, feeling quite a little like tbe celebrated Pharisee. A week later he asked his agent about some flats that had been empty for a month or two. "All rented." aald the agent, and he named the parties, whereupon the landlord immediately descended to the plane of publicans and sinners. When he had recovered him-; self sufficiently to talk English, he pro ceeded to Inform the astonished agent that one of his acquisitions was the man he had Just moved at his own ex-j pense out of the house in the suburbs.

He declares that he is 186 years old, but from the tales his neighbors and relatives tell he la much older than he claims to be. He is a half-breed Indian and Span iard, and his name s Michael Bolls. He lives with an old planter named Louis Hernandez, who is himself 80 years of age. Hernandez says that as long as be can remember old Michael was known is a man far past the century mark, (t has also been ascertained direct from the records that "one Michael Soils, a man now 125 years of age." contributed ten days' work toward building the Franciscan Convent which was erected at San Sebastian in 1812. If it Is really true that tho old patriarch was 125 years old in 1812, he has now passed the second century mllo post and is fast winding out the first decade of the third. Doctors who have lately made a study of the case of this double centenarian say that there is not an ounce of meat on his bones, and that the skin, which resembles parchment, is drawn so tight ly over his frame that It cannot be pinched up between thumb and finger. He Is unable to walk, but has good hearing and good eyesight, and a large crop of perfectly snow-white hair and beard. Louisville Commercial. Rendered a Bill of Items.

The red dra goons rode hither and thither, and all through Georgia and South Carolina none dared lift up their beads to op pose them; while North Carolina lay at the feet of Cornwallls as he started through it with his army to march Into Virginia.
