Oh, the country road at the farther end It runs up hill and down, Away from the woods and the rippling, brook.

THERE are still people wtio talk; of Wellington and 1815, but It is now generally understood that the real battle of Waterloo take place; every Saturday morning at the station of that name, when the special trains start for South Africa. It is a desper ate stnik'K'Ie while it lasts, and the uni formed men have an exceedingly warm time of It, but they hare always con quered before, and this encourages and gives them enthusiasm. Mr. John Bmrte the name was on the leather la bel of his single portmanteau Mr. John Bote, down in good time before the real tussle began, looked on with Interest. He was a tall, reserved-looking man, with a short beard and the brown complexion that comes to men who have looked at the South African KUIl. "No one to see me off," said John Reste. (A short mother was stepping on tiptoe to kiss a burly youth, and I :e sight gave him thoughts.) "Of course there U no one to see me off," be com tiuuod arst:ni'ntatlvely. "Why should there be?" Mr. John Beste placed his portman teau in the corner of a first-class com partment, and lnujrhed a little bitterly at hU grumbled soliloquy. A light touch on his arm made Mm wheel round. The sound of a soft voice made him flush. "Mr. Baste:" "Miss Lanjrham! Are you here to say good-by to me?" "That was the idea," said the young woman, brighrly. "I suppose there are others. How long before your train goes?" "About twenty minutes, Miss Lang ham." "Only twenty minutes. I am sorry that you are going so quickly. And "you will see Mr. Charterhouse, I sup pose" she stepped aside to avoid a Juggernaut trolley of luggage "as soon as you arrive?" she resumed. "I .can't possibly avoid that. Is Mrs, Lang-ham here?" "My aunt does not know that I have come down. Did you want to see her, Mr. Beste?" "Her presence," he said, gravely, "is not indispenaable to my happiness." "I'm afraid that you are Inclined to be a little unjust to her. You don't knomv her as well as I do, Mr. Beste." "That Is so. But Mrs. Langham has made a confidant of me during the time that I have been heTe, and well, I think I understand her." "Tout comprehend e'est tout par donner." quoted the young lady. 'Not in every case." "I should like to knw what you talked alRMit. It occurred to me at din ner last nljrlit that " "Upon my word. Miss Iangham, 1 have half a mind to tell you." "Half a mind Is plenty, Mr. BeMe. I have a special reason for wanting to know. My dear aunt has not always the bt tact In the world." "That," he said, dryly, "occurred to me." "Wps it of me that she was talking, t wonder? Was I the object?" "It was of you," he said, "And my aunt said?" "Am I bound to answer these ques tions, my lord T A band of Jewish financial gentlemen came along the crowded platform, forming an entourage to some import ant individual In their center. With the enterprise of their race, they forced the other passengers aside, and Mr. John Boete and Miss Langham were soparated In the commotion. "You are bound," said the young Portia, returning, "to answer all the questions that are put to you for the -net fifteen minutes." Mr. I-angham," said Mr. John Be-rt-e, shifting his rug from one arm to the other, and bending a little closer to the bewildering hat and the charming face that it selfishly attempted to bide, "Mrs. Iangh&in was extremely anxious that I should convey certain informa tion to Mr. Charterhouse. As ru.inujrer to Mr. Charterhouse's valuable mine, Mrs. l.angham seems to have thought that I should be a valuable what shall I say? a valuable fellow conspirator." "k on." she said, quickly and with great concern. "I wonder whether you can guess what I am going to say?" "I hope I am not guessing rightly. It Is too terrible:" "Mrs. Laugham was good enough to say that for anything I could say to my my master, Mr. Charterhouse, that would assist the object she had In view, I should be well repaid. This was, of course, very generous of your aunt." "k on, Mr. Beste." The rime was flying. Passengers were setrtiutr down In their compart ments, and at every window was a bunch of heaiis. There were tears, too, because some of those on the platform parents saying good-by to sons, and wives saying adieu to husbands were sufficiently old-fashioned to possess emotions. "And what I had to do was this: Mr. Oharterhouse is, as you know, a bach elor." "Mr. Charterhouse may be an old maid for all I know or care," she said, hotly. "And I I was to use my Influence with Charterhouse which is, I admit, xmwklerable to induce him to come Dver here to to "lee Miss Langham." "Au l buy her, I suppose," she ex rlaimed. trembling with exeiteaient, hut not allowing her voice to raise It self. "To buy me and to sign the agree ment at St. George's, Hanover square."

You must promise not to say aj jrord to Mr. CharterhouM abant me. I (Mt know Mm, and I etit know him." "He saw yon once, I think, when jot were girl at school." "I beg of you, Mr. Beste, to do tbli for ne. I shall marry when I do roarry Just whom I like, and I will not consider any one whom I don't like." "I am glad to hear 70a say so." 1 should not dream of sarlag say thing elsa." "I thought, from what yoor aunt said, that you understood "Indeed, indeed, Mx.

"I have been here, to some extent In disguise. I think, perhaps.

"Under no circumstances," replied Miss Langham, decldely. "He Is very rich," he remarked, "and ( happen to know that he " "I desire, said the young woman, with much spirit, "1 desire not to hear Mr. Charterhouse's name again." "Your mind Is quite made up?" "Quite!" A porter stood patiently at the door of the compartment holding K open for the passenger to South Africa. ("There's nothing like a young en gaged couple," said the acute porter to himself, "for making trains late. They don't care.") "But suppose I were to tell you," he said, taking her hand and holding it "that Mr. Charterhouse, who was a poorlsh man until three years ago, when this mine was found oa his prop erty, has been in England lately? Sup pose I were to tell you that be has fallen In love with you ' "Even that does not concern me, Ms Bte." "And supposing I were to tell you that, to avoid being pestered by finan cial people, and to see the little school girl who has grown so tall and so so charming, he preferred to call himself, not Mr. Charterhouse, the owner of the West End Mine, but Mr. Beste, the manager of " "That," said Miss Langbam, her breath coming quickly, "would make all the difference." The porter Jerked his bead toward the compartment, to hint to his client that moments were valuable. ' The client had no need of this intimation, for he knew better than the porter how very precious the moments were. -Do you really mean that?" he asked quickly. "I never say things I don't mean, Mr. B.ste I mean, Mr. Charterhouse." Sue laughed a little nervously. "I shall al ways think of you as Mr. Beste." "But will you always think of me? May I come back here in three months, time and ask you formally " "Now, then, sir," said the porter, "you'll go and lose the special, that's what you'll do." "I mustn't do that, my man. Good-by, Eva. I must take my seat, I suppose." He stepped into the compartment. and the porter, shutting the door, re ceived a tip that made him whistle with delight. "And you won't give me an answei now, then?" be went on, anxiously. "1 wish there was time to persuade you, dear, to say 'yes.' But I suppose I must wait until I return, and we must talk it over then, and I must try to in duce you " "I think," said Eva Langham, looking up, and drawing her gray veil carefully up from her Hps, "I think that consid ering how very badly you have be haved, the wisest thing you can do la to is to kiss me."

A visit to a plate glass works reveals lothlng perhaps more interesting than .he casting tables on which the heavy ,late glass used in most store windows cast. "The casting tables," said the Super-, ntendent of a large New York plate, lass factory to a Star reporter recent ly, "are the most important pieces of ipparatus in this establishment Each table is about 20 feet long. 16 feet wide, and from 7 to 8 Inches thick. The heavy strips of iron on either side 3f the tables afford a bearing for the rollers and determine the thickness or diameter of the glass to be cast "The rough plate is commonly nin sixteenths of an inch thick, but aftel polishing it Is reduced to six or seven sixteenths. All casting tables are mounted on wheels which run on a track made to reah every furnace and annealing oven in the factory. The table having been wheeled as near as possible to the melting furnace, a poYj f molten glass is lifted by 'means of. a crane, and its contents poured thlck-l ly out on the table. A heavy Iron roller then passes from end to end, spreading the glass to a uniform thickness. This rolling operation has to be dene by ex pert hands quickly, as the boiling glass, when it comes in contact with the cold metal of the table cools very rapidly. When the rolling process ha been com pleted, the door of the annealing oven' Is opened and the plat glas 1 Intro-, dueed.

Much pain is, however, endured In the belief that it is necessary and not alarming, when in truth it is all wrong and indicates derangement that may cause serious trouble. Excessive monthly pain itself will unsettle the nerves and make women old before their time. The foundation of woman's health is a perfectly normal and regular per formance of nature's function.

The Doll. Dolls have amused the world for .ges, says Oolden Hours, and seem to lave been well known In the days of the Pharaohs, for in the tombs of an ient Egypt, figures of painted wood, of terra cotta, of ivory, and of rags have been found, whose limbs were made novable for the delight of children. In the ruins of Etruria similar toys ave been discovered, and in China as a-ell as in India, movable figures were nade to act from time Immemorial by aand and on strings or as shadows ba llad a curtain.

A tiny girl of 7 or thereabouts gave i dinner party the other day, for which fwelve covers were laid, and that num- ' ser of small maidens sat down to dine. ! It was a real little girl's dinner, and the ! lttle hostess herself presided, sitting at :he head of the table. But she was inxlous, in looking forward to it, to . to everything as it should be done. "Mamma," she asked, "shall we say raceV" "No," said mamma, 'It will be a very nformal dinner, and I think you need lot do that." That meant one less ceremony to be tone through and was a relief, but the lttle lady was anxious to hare all ber imall guests understand It So, as they were gathered about the table, she ex tlalned: "Mamma says this is such an Infernal Unner that we need not have grace to- Ilay." - .

Disagree able habits of the body, scowling, twist ing the month, biting the nails, contin ually picking at something, drumming with the fingers, screwing and twisting in a chair or whatever you can lay hands on do not acquire any of these thing. Learn to sit at ease, like a gentleman, I was going to aay; but I am afraid even women fall Into such tricks sometimes. Of course, there are worse habits than these habits which become vices; habits which convert good men Into bad one. But I am now speaking of very little things, which are only annoying when they are persisted in. There are habits, too, of speech, with "you see," or "you know," "now-a," "why-a," "sea he," "tell me now," etc. Indistinct utterances, sharp tones, a slow drawl. Avoid them all. Stop and think what you wish to say, and then let every word drop from your lips clearly and distinctly. Have a care about your manner of walking, sitting and standing. Before you know It, you will find your careless) habits have hardened into a coat of mail, of which you cannot rid yourself without much trouble. If you do not rid yourself of It the time will come when you cannot help perceiving that your society Is no longer sought for by former friends; for the majority of peo ple do not care to be bored by the pe culiarities of their neighbors.

Klondyke Clean-Cp. In the Century John Sidney Webl lescrlbes "The River Trip to the Klont like." In telling of his visit to the EU Dorado mines, the author says: The) ilulce-boxee are made of boards, ma-J nine or ship sawed, and roughly nailed rp Into troughs or boxes, and fitted to rether like stovepipes. Cleats are nail I dlnto the last boxes, called "riffles," r, in some Instances, shallow auger loles are bored into the bottom boards, rhe boxes are then set up In line on a tentle slope, and the pay dirt is shovel id In at the top, and a stream of water, controlled by a dam, sluices over the lirt and gold. The weight of gold is so rreat that It falls, and the dirt and use ess gravel washes off, the gold being aught upon the cleats or In the holes icattered about - In the last boxes lulcksllver is put In to catch the very lne gold. When the gold is taken from lie boxes It Is called 1 "clean-up." On he day I was there (Aug. 17), at No. 10 El Dorado twenty thousand dollars ras "cleaned up" in twenty-four hours, vlth only one man shoveling In the lirt. Such wonderful results may nean, however, months of expensive irork; but "when It comes, it coines lulck," as the saying Is among the mln tra. A True Wind flower. It la said that a flower has been found In South America which Is visible ouly when the wind Is blowing. The shrub belongs to the cactus family, and 1 about three feet high, with a crook a I the top. When the wind blows a num ber of beautiful flowers protrude from attle lumps on the stalk. Seaweed Is Nutritions. Seaweed, though not the diet for an epicure. Is, when dry, richer than oat meal or Indian corn in nitrogenous con itituents, and takes rank among th moat nutrious of vegetable foods. Politeness in Animals. Anyone that has observed the ways tt animals must have noticed how bany even insignificant little creatures save very good manners. You may iblnk it strange that an animal can give lessons In politeness; but, after all, po liteness Is necessary In a community, ind the animals that live and labor to rether, that lead any sort of social life; lave to be considerate of one another's !eelings. Ton cannot be sociable and telflsh. both. Have you never seen a number of ints working to move a large morsel of busd to their larder) It would be ner- ! lectly absurd for one ant to try to lug tway the delicacy by himself, and h las sense enough not to attempt it. In itead, he calls as many of his friends as he can, and they all work with a will, rhere Is no disorderly Jostling or quar reling, because that would Interfere rlth tbe accomplishment of their pur pose. They politely help one another tor the common good. Of course, ants, we may say, belong to one family, and It Is only natural that they should be polite. Many animal ire polite to others that are not of thelt I pedes. A little girl friend of our waa lately i --h distressed by th leas oi ker pet cat. For several weeks nothing aas heard oMhe cat. Then, one morn tig, he appe'ied on the doorstep of his , lome, and seemed so thankful to be ataen in ana pertea mat n was suppov rd he had been stolen and kept a prisv ner. After he bad been warmly welcomed y his human friends, tbe fox terrier of !he family rushed Into the room, show ing that he had only just learned of tbe rat's return. The scene that followed ras the funniest you can Imagine. With very demonstration of Joy, the little log ran to the cat, and began licking its face, as he might have licked hi waster's band. All that day he never wearied of showing the cat attention. He waa Indefatlgably polite. Very likely the two animals talked to rack other in their language, which we ire not clever enough to understand, ind the dog sympathised with the try Tig experience that his poor friend had keen through. We dull human beings lever found out where that cat had j keen, or what he had suffered, but Whether or not the dog understood, he Ira kind and loving and polite to the rat. and. In a few days, pussy seemed ks happy as If he had not a care in th World. All bis trouble were forgotten inder tbe Influence of kind treatment -Our Animal Friend. A Clever Trick.

Fifty Year of Preparation. -It la marvelous, Mr. President," said correspondent once to Thiers, the for mer head of the French republic, "how you deliver lag.

Do not mistake acquirement or mere knowledge for power. Like food, these things must be digested and assimilat ed to become life or force. Learning is not wisdom; knowledge is not neces sarily vital energy. The student who has to cram through a school or a col lege course, who has made himself merely a receptacle for the teacher's thoughts and Ideas, Is not educated; he has not gained much. lie is a reser voir,, not a fountain. One retains, tbe other gives forth. Unless his knowl edge Is converted Into wisdom. Into fac ulty. It will become stagnant like still water.
