A lawyer had come all the way from
California to pay a $10,000 legacy over
:o Uncle Jerry Hopefield, who had lived
ill his life in a little town in Ohio, and
after breakfast two or three of us were
Invited to go along and witness the

Uncle Jerry was tightening up the
hoops on the rain barrel, while his wife
bad gone to see a sick neighbor. They
had been fully identified the day before
as the proper parties, and now the law
yer said:
"Well, Uncle Jerry, I want to hand
yon that money and get a receipt and
be off this morning."
'Tin kinder busy, just now," said the

a, moment.
"Yes, but I have $10,000 here for you.

"Look here, man, but did you ever see

"Lands, no!"
"Never had a hundred all at once, did

"Never. Durn that hoop, but t don't

I must ask you to get this business

"But It's going to rain."
"Yes, but here's your money."
"And I've got to get this bar'l fixed."
"It won't take over ten minutes to fix

"See here," said Uncle Jerry, as he
laid down his ha:nmer and wiped the

I Reginald's Bride. J
ARION GREY was the child
of wealthy parents, having
been brought up In luxury and
given a good education. Her mother
died when she was 12 years of age,
leaving her father to rear his mother
less child as best he could.
His business did not prosper after,
his wife's death, and through the dis
honesty of his partner he became al
most reduced to bankruptcy. He went
to work with the menthat he bad for
merly employed, working night and
day, straining his eyes to their utter
most, and finally causing total blind
ness. At this he sold his property and
Marion was obliged to go to work.
She engaged a small tenement and
searched dally for work, but to no
avail. On rcturulug home one day,
tired and disheartened, her father said
to her: "Marion, Mrs. Young called
here to-day. and Is going abroad with
her husband, and would like to find a
trustworthy person to take the care of
her little boy, Harold. She heard of
our circumstances, and thought that
you might take this position as govern
ess, and yet be near your old father.
What do you think about It my dear?"
"Well, father." said Marion in a
cheerful tone, for she never allowed
her father to see her downhearted, "do
you think that you co'uld stand the an
noyance of this child, for he is but "
years of age and has been indulged
greatly?"
"My daughter," said her father, "It
does seem as if this is a plan by which
you can meet the expenses and yt In
near me during the day."
Nothing more was said, and the fol
lowing day Marlon called on Mrs.
Young and everything was settled sat
isfactorily. She brought Harold home
with her, for he had been attracted to
Marion at once, and Mr. and Mrs.
Young were to sail the following day.
The Youngs were people of wealth and
attended the same church as Marlon
hat dene from childhood, and they felt
well pleased at being able to find such
a trustworthy person with whom to
leave Harold.
Marlon was In the habit of taking
Harold for a stroll during the latter
part of the day, and it was during one
Of-these strolls that Harold exclaimed:
Why, auntie, we r--et that gentleman
every day." ' ,
T an ,c"rluk the remark.

liooa-anernoon, sir, saia aianon. -
"Pardon me, but the child called you
'auntie.' May I ask If he is your
nephew?" said the gentleman.
"O, no, sir! I am Miss Grey, and have
charge of him for a few months while
his parents are abroad," said Marion.
"I am fond of children, and I should
Judge that this lad is about the same
age as my young brother, whom I have
not seen since a babe." After saying
a few words to Harold, he wished then?
good-afternoon and passed on.
Marion called Harold and walked
leisurely home, little knowing what an
Impression she had made on this new
acquaintance. Upon entering the house
Harold exclaimed: "O, grandpa, we
met a real nice gentleman, and he
talked with auntie!"
Mr. Grey made no reply, but during
the evening asked Marion who the
gentleman was. Marion replied that
it was one that they had met frequent
ly In their strolls, and Harold had
opened the conversation by his child
ish remarks. "His name Is Mr. Reg
inald Stacey, and he lives next door."
she said.
"Stacey!" repeated Mr. Grey. "That
sounds familiar. I once bad dealings
with one by that name, but he has
passed away."
As time passed the meetings between
Marion and her friend became mure
frequent, and what was at first a mere
acquaintance soon ripened into a deep
affection, until one day Reginald said:
"Marlon, I am goiug away to complete
my education, but there Is something
that I wish to tell you before going."
"Marion, I have loved you from first
sight, my dear," said Reginald.
"But, Reginald, what of my father?
I love you. but I cannot leave him."
said Marlon.
"You and your father shall never be
separated," he answered.
After spending "Some time in making
promises and endearing words." he
bade her a fond good-by.
That evening Marion told her father
the whole story.
A little later on she received letters
from Reginald, and often wondered
wny he did not speak about his people
In them, but, thinking that the year
would soon pass, and having her time
taken up with Harold and her father
she decided that on his return she
would ask him alout them. As time
passed away rapidly, Mr. and Mrs.
Young returned from abroad and took
Harold home, paying Marlon well. On
her next visit to Marion and her father
Mrs. Young stated that she wished her
to come with her a few days to help
prepare for her older son's home-coming,
and that she was to bring her
father also.
Marion was downhearted, for she
had not heard from Reginald for some
time. In his last letter he had said that
he bad graduated and his parents bad
returned home, and that he would soon
Join her.
Marion took up her new work, trying
to be satisfied, and on the day of the
arrival of the expected one, this being
Mrs. Young's older son, Marion was In
the sewing-room, and suddenly the
door opened and in came Harold, say
ing: "My big brother has come," and
Marian, looking up, exclaimed: "O,
Reginald!" and he clasped her to him
In a fond embrace. At this moment
Marion's father and Mr. and Mrs.
Young entered the room, and Marlon
demanded an explanation from them,
which Mrs. Young laughingly gave.
"I was once Mrs. Stacey, and my son
and I weft separated aoon after hit
ratbtra death, t then nutted Mr.
Young, whose son you have had the
cars of daring the last year and one
half. Reginald had sot seen Harold
since a baby, and, asI had not told
him the name of the person with whom
I had left Harold, he did not know be
was the child In your care, although he
felt strongly attracted to him. After
he came abroad to us and told ns of
you, we decided to keep things hidden,
from yon until his return, wishing to
surprise you and your father. We will
be happy to see yon and Reginald and
your father settled In a home of your

familiar to him, for Reginald's father

Florence Night injtale'e Dolls.
When Miss Nightingale was a child
she had many dolls, and her great hob
by was to pretend that they each Id
turn were very sick and needed th
most careful nursing. There was one
rag baby that had fever so badly that
her life was despaired of, and little
Florence would only go to her own bed
one night when her nurse and her moth
er promised that they would watch be
side the sick doll. And watch they had
to. with a vengeance. For If either of
the nurses tried to go away thiuklng
Florence was asleep, the little lady was
awake in a moment and would not He
down until they went to watching
again. Early in the morning Florence
rose to take her share in the nursing,
and then the others were allowed to lie
down. She was soon able to say that
the rag baby was much better.
Amber Mines and Their Captives.
Amber Is the product of a gum from
a cone-bearing tree. Thus It is closely
allied to resin; but by one of nature's
wonderful processes the soft gum for
mation has been transformed to a com
position that is durable, capable of
withstanding heat and brittle, like
glass. Mucbsof the world's amber is
mined in Prussia, near the Baltic Sea.
There Imbedded in blue clay are found
the wrecks of ancient trees and a great
deposit of atriber. Much of it contains
Insects in a fine state of preservation.
Over 2,000 varieties of these insects
have been found preserved in amber.
A large proportion of them are entirely
unknown to-day. Part of the amber
is found under the sea,, and all of it
suggests a mystery of prehistoric life
and vegetation.

A. arr - Observations of Certain
Way of Children.
Dr. Sully remark that children begin
to acquire a knowledge of "self when
they are a few months old; and may be
observed grasping, striking, and biting
their own hands or, feet A boy, whose
feet were stained with new stockings,
cried to his mother. "These ain't the
feet I had this morning." The trunk is
first recognized as part of self; then the
head is regarded as the seat of Intel
ligence. A child will "make believe
that it Is more than one self, and per
sonify Its members. When only a few
months old a baby does not know its
own face in a mirror, until It finds out
by experience. Children are often afraid
of a shadow at first but in time refer It
to the sun. They attach every im
portance to their bodily appear
ance and scarcely believe that an
earlier photograph of them as
babies is really meant forthem, and feel
almost new beings when dressed for
church on Sunday. In time the consci
ousness of self which thinks, suffers and
wills is dimly discerned. A girt of 3
shut her eyes and believed her mother
could see her body, but not her real self.
One day she asked. "Mother, am 1 real,
or only a pretend like my dollar' The
same child pitied the fallen leaves
dying on the ground. A weli-anown
lady novelist, when a child, was amazed
to think that she could feel and act by
an internal self, and the consciousness
of self came to George Sand one day
as a sudden revelation.
Children want to know how theh
thoughts came to their tongue or limbs,
and imagine they travel down.
Metamorphosis of self is a common
idea among children who fancy they
have been something different at one
time. They also find it hard to believe
they never existed at all, and will ask
where they were 100 years ago. A littl j
boy of 5 asserted that the world only
began to go round when he was born.
Another gravely said, while passing a
street pump. "There are no
streets in heaven, where I came from."

EGYPT THE LAND OF GRAVES.
Energy of the Whole People Devoted
to Death.
To the Eirvrrtian death was but the
lieulnnluir of a career of adventures
and experiences compared with which
the most vivid emotions of this me
were tame. He lived with the fear of
death before his eyes. Everything
around him reminded him of that
dreadful initiation into the mysteries
of the tremendous after life for which
ills present existence was but a prep
aration. His cemeteries were noi niu
den away in remote suburbs; his dead
were not covered with mere grassy
mounds or a slab of stone. The whole
land was his graveyard; its whole art
was of the mortuary. "Are there no
graves in Egypt that thou hast brought
us into the wilderness to dler" asuea
the Israelites in derision, and we may
believe that Moses winced at the sar
casm. Egypt is the land of graves, and the
whole energy of the people that could
be spared from keeping life together
was devoted to death. The mightiest
tombs in the world the pyramids
were raised upon the death of mufli
tudes of toiling slaves. The hills were
honeycombed passages and galleries,
chambers, pits all painfully excavated
in honor of the Illustrious dead, and
sculptured and painted with elaborate
skill to make them tit habitations for
KirvnHan beheld preparations for the
great turning point of existence. The
mason was squaring blocks Tor tne
tomb chamber: the potter molded im
ages of the gods or bowls or Jars, to
be placed In the grave for tne protec
tion or refreshment of the Ka. exhaust
ed With the ordeals of the underworld;
the sculptor and painter were at work
upon the walls of the funeral chamber.
Illustrating the scenes through which
the ghost was to pass, or depleting the
industrious life ot the departed. The
verv teniDles which cluster along the
levels beside the Nile were in a sense
but vestibules to the tombs in tne hills
behind. The sacred lake, now the
weedy, picturesque haunt of water
fowl, was then the sceue of so!e r.u
ferryings of the dead. The temple
walls were covered with the terrors of
the Judgment to come. The houses of
the living, indeed, were built of perish
ing mud, but the homes of the dead
and the shrines where supplication was
n..ide to the gods who ruled their fate
were made to last forever. On these
all the strength, the science and the
artistic skill of the ancient Egyptians
was cheerfully lavished. Saturday

SAVED FROM DEATH BY VAPOR.
Hla Perapirattou a i.u.ncu -at fucl
from Iniury by Molten Iron.
By the timely prevention of a strange
law of nature little known save to
scientific men, one of the workmen at
Baldwin's Locomotive works escaped
from -what, "uuder ordinary circum
stances, would have been absolutely
certain death. The ptuMling-room of
this factory contains a large number of
Immense caldrons, iu which the Iron
Is melted and purilied. .The laborer
wheels his barrow containing the ore
up an inclined plane to their open
mouth a height or three feet from the
floor, and then empties the barrow
into the caldron.
Joseph Connor, one of the puddlers,
was totally unclothrd from his waist
upward. He had been at work scarcely
Ave minutes yesterday when one of his
fellow workmen gave a cry which di
rected the attentionof the entire fort eut
work to the awful situation into which
Connor had got himself. Bending over
the molten liquid, his head and chest
completely immersed in its depths, he
was holding by his bands to the edge
and trying, apparently, to draw back
from the terrible position Into which he
had fallen. It was at once evident that
"-nor had somehow missed his foot
ing and fallen partially Into the boiling
metal.
Fellow workmen at once rushed to
the spot and he was hastily dragged
out. Everyone expected to find his face
and chest a hideously charred mass and
some of the men had already turne 1
away their eyes rather tl.nn gaze on tb
terrible sight they expected would be
presented. But to the amazement of
his rescuers, save for the loss of his
hair, Connor was absolutely uninjured.
Not a disfigurement, not a burn, not
even a blister was to be seen. The
workmen were badly scared by the
seeming marvel. Later the puddling
manager explained the matter
to the men! A combustible body may
be preserved from Ignition when in
contact with a source of heat by being
surrounded by an atmosphere of vapor.
In the case of Connor the man had be
gun to perspire and on contact with the
molten metal this perspiration formed
a gaseous covering that protected his
skin. His hair, of course, was not so
shielded and suffered in consequence,
but with this exception he was uninjur

His Chief Concern.
A party of excursionists visiting a
large city on one of the Great Lakes
during the summer went out one fine
morning for a sail. There were several
enthusiastic amateur photographers on
board, and in their zeal for taking
"snap-shots" of the shore scenery as
they sailed along they did not notice
that the wind was freshening and the
lake becoming rough.
At last,, however, an unusually high
wave rocked the boat, and one of the
young men standing near the gunwale
lost his balance and pitched headlong
into the water.
He was a good swimmer, out it wss
several minutes before the boat could
te rounded to, and when he was Anally
reached with the aid of a line and drag
ged on board be was almost exhausted.
"That was a narrow escape, Charley,"
said one of his friends, after the young
man had partially recovered his breath,
and waa able to speak.
"Yes!" he gasped. "Another lurch
like that, and my camera would nave
gone overboard!"
