This shady little nook holds the home of some of our old soldiers. There they sat in solemn rows of fours iud fives on the wooden benches in the jool, green avenue, dreamiug away the long summer afternoons, while they watched the children play on the grass before them. A great longing came over me to team something of their lives. If I could come across one alone, I thought, there might be a chance of it; so, with a lingering, backward look at the old fellows, I walked on till I same to a more secluded part of the gardens, where the pensioners culti vated little plots of ground, and sold flowers and ferns to the nurses aud children, the proceeds of which en abled them to buy tobacco aud rum and other small luxuries. It had been intensely hot, but now a refreshing breeze was tossing the lilac aud laburnum trees, and in the cool of the day the old men were hard j at work, watering, weeding dud rak- I ing away, while they smoked aud changed opinions as to their respep- j tive nurseries. Crossing the gravel path, I came upon a bed composed entirely of mignonette. Its fragrance was delight- j ful, aud I paused a moment to enjoy j the scent. This little garden excited my curi- 1 osity and I looked with interest at the gardener. His face was thin aud ; lined, with an expression of settled melancholy on it, but there was some thing in the large, dark eyes and sen sitive mouth that took my fancy. "Hetve is an opportunity,"l thought. "He looks a nice, approachable old mau, and I daresay would be glad to have a chat." At that moment, as if by some sud- ! den transition of miud, he glauced up and fixed his speaking orbs on me. "What lovely mignonette!" I ex claimed, by way of opening fire. He smiled, but it was such a sad smile, I wished he hadn't—it some- 1 how made me feel sick aud sorry. "Let me cut you some, madam," be said, gravely. "I will in a moment, if you can wait." "Please, oh, I should like nothing ! better," I answered, seating myself and looking contentedly, while my new friend went to work with a long pair of rusty scissors. His face interested me, strangely, none the less when I noticed that the Victoria Cross adorned his breast. How could I get him to talk?" "May I ask why you cultivate only one flower?" I inquired with sudden ; inspiration. He looked at me again, in that in- I tense way of his, for at least a minute, 1 without speaking, then said irrele vantly: "You have a good, kind face, lady, and " He paused. "Thank you for saying so," I re joined, somewhat tamely, feeling baHed and wondering what was com ing next. "You asked me just now why I only grew one flower. I will tell you if you care to listen." "Yes," I replied, eagerly, "I am all attention." "It happened so long ago, yet it seems only like yesterday. Mignon, Mignon!" he half murmured to him self. I coughed softly, to remind him of my presence. "Lady, did you ever love anyone very dearly?" he asked abruptly. "Have I?" I returned, somewhat taken aback by this unexpected ques tion. "Well yes, I have been fond of several people I have met at different times of my life," was my discreet rejoinder. "Those two were the only ones I cared for in the world—Mignon and Balph Stanley." "Who was Mignon?" I queried, gently, for the old man's face was full of emotion when he spoke her name. "I always called her Mignon, and so did he,"he continned, without heeding me; "the name suited her so well. She was never without a slip of this," touching the flowers in my lap, "in her belt or gown. She had a passion for mignonette, that is why we called her Mignon, and she was as sweet as the flower itself, with her blue-bell eyes and nut-brown hair." "Who was this other?" I ventured to ask, after a pause. Again the veteran seemed to forget my existence, as he sighed, and said, musingly: "To think that I never guessed it, and they were such a bouny pair, too. She could not help loving him, the genial, handsome laddie—men and officers alike in oar regiment simply adored him." "He served with you then?" "Yeß, but I was ouly ia the ranks; while he held a commission." "Yet you were frieuds?" "Friend—aye! tliat we were; from our schoolboy days we were chums! When Ralph was sent to the Crimean war I threw everything tj the winds, enlisted in the regiment, and went, too, and we fought in many a fierce battle together, but one thought kept us up through all, dear little Mignon, the vicar's daughter. Ah, what happy old times they were at the vicarage ! "Mignon was an only child; her father, our coach, Ralph's and mine. What merry little tea parties we had— just we four; the scent of mignonette everywhere; the garden, the windows and the rooms of the old house were full of mignonette, all mignonette!" My glance wandered to the flowers blooming at my feet, as I tried to pic ture the little scene put before me. "And Ralph loved Mignon as well as I," he pursued, "though neither of us knew the other's secret Well, those happy days came to an end. Young Stauley left us to study for the army, while I remained to stagnate in my father's office in town. "How I envied Ralph's luck. Not that I grudged him auy good luck, but my lot in life did seem hard in com parison to his. As the time passed my restlessness and discontent in creased. Despite my attachment to Mignon, my humdrum, monotonous existence was so hateful to me. So, when the war broke out and Ralph was ordered abroad I made up my mind togo, too, in the ranks of the same regiment. Here was an oppor tunity not to be lost of leading a more glorious life; to fight for my country, my'people and for the love of 'old England,' "How I dreamt of the home-coming after the work was done. Death had no place in my mind. How I antic ipated the meeting with Mignon, with the love light that I—poor fool —im- agined she felt for me, shining in her soft blue eyes. I thought I would / pour out my heart and tell her I had , come back to claim her, never to part auy more. Ah! if I had but known!" He smiled again in his melancholy way, and continued: "i'es, if I had only known that she cared for Ralph I should have beeu spared many a heartache in after years." The old soldier gazed abstractedly at his mignonette, and, doubtless, lived ! over again that memorable campaign, while I wondered if the cross on his breast had anything to do with his tory. He answered my glance. "I am coming to that now, lady. One bitter November night, or rather morning, we awoke to find the enemy bearing down on us in overwhelming numbers before our camp was astir. The men, however, soou roused and fought shoulder to shoulder amid the roar and din of cannou, which mad dened alike man and beast. After awhile I became conscious only of one thing—a figure a few yards ahead of me fighting for dear life. I can see the look ou his face now! It was transfigured, shiniug with dauntless courage that quailed not before the outslanght of the Russians. I be lieve, at that moment, Ralph lived ia every fiber of his being. He gloried in a fight—no one more. He was sur rounded and cut off from the rest of us by sis or seven of the enemy, double his size. Suddenly he stag gered and fell; then I found myself struggling and crashing through countless forms and brandishing steel, until I reached the stricken figure. There he lay, so white and still, with his brave young face upturned to the leadeu sky. My arms went instinc tively round him, and as I turned and faced the lot of them—perhaps it was fancy—but a change seemed to cojue into their eager, glittering eyes, as they involuntarily fell back a space or two. It was only for a moment. They pressed forward, and no doubt the pair of us would have been quick ly cut into mincemeat, but for an un expected diversion created just then by the arrival of the Inniskilling Dra goons. With their aid the Russiaus were completely routed, and in the confusion of their retreat and flight I managed to carry Ralph back safely to camp. "Am' »»ou escaped nnwounded?" "No unluckily, lady, I received some very bad cuts on my head and back, which brought about my dis charge from the army as being unfit for active service. When I had some what'recovered Ralph told me that Mignon had promised to become his wife, and six months later they were married." "Did Mignon ever know that you cared for her?" I asked rather huskily. "Yes; many years after, when they came to see me here, I think, as they carried away some of my mignonette, they both guessed it for the first time," A bell near by clanged out the tea hour as he finished speaking; so, with i a close clasp of the hand, my old mao and I parted. A Glaus of Water at Bedtime. The human body is constantly un dergoing tissue changes. Water has the power of increasing these changes, which multiply the waste products, ' but at the same time they are re -1 moved by its agency, giving rise tc \ increased appetite, which in turn pro vides fresh nutriment. If you do not accustom yourself to drink watei regularly you are liable to have the waste products'form faster than they are removed. Any obstruction to the free working of natural laws at once produces disease. Great weakness and languor on rising in the morning are generally due to a large secretion of these waste products, and tht | remedy is to drink a tumblerful of water —either hot or cold—just before ! vetiriug. This materially assists in the process during the night and leaves the tissues fresh and strong, j ready for the aotiva work of the nexi ! day. NEW YORK CITY (Special).—The new Harper's Bazar kimono, may be treated effectively in foulards, wash silks, India weaves, or lawns. The fulness A KIMONO WITH BTTFFI.ES, of the skirt may be pleated or gathered into the yoke. The design provides for two box-pleats on each side of the front, and three similar pleats in the baok. It consists of one-half of yoke, full sleeve (to be pleated or gathered into armhole), band for sleeve, and wide collar-band passing about the neck. Where ruffled trimming is pre ferred, these bands may be omitted. If the garment is to do service as an invalid's wrap it may be lined tln-ougk out with veiling or thin flannel of con trasting shade. Where lawn, cotton crepe (« very serviceable medium), or Persian figured foulard is to be em ployed and the garment is to be used as a cozy lounging-robe for summer wear, it will not need to be lined. An endless variety of pretty effects may be secured in kimonos by introducing yoke and bands of plain color with skirt and sleeves of Oriental silks or lawns. White wash silk, lawn, or batiste may be embellished with pale pink, mauve, or blue silk bands and PERFECTION IN PETTICOATS. yoke. If ruffles are used the material for same should be eat on the straight of the goods and of uniform width— viz., five inches deep. Nine yards of material 27-30 inches wide will be required to make this kimono for a person of medium size. Petticoats From Paris. The group of gorgeousness in petti eoats shown in the large engraving, straight from gay Paree, illustrates to what extent they carry the elabora tion of trimming, of which they nre so fond. Knife pleatings, appliques, frills, raches, lace, ribbon and the silk itself, all find a place on these chef d'oeuvres of lingerie. Silk is the textile invariably used by the women of Paris for their underskirts for ordi nary wear, and for state occasions and for high toilets very rich brocages. In shape they follow the trend of the fashionable outside skirt, having very narrow gores and a not exag gerated flare from the kneea down. The latest ones close on the side. A broad flounce is the most usaal trim ming for their bottoms, sometimes graduating from the back and some times straight around. Euife plaiting is most used for these flounoes, and in some cases this is done at inter vals, leaving space for an embroidered or laoe inserting or applique. Incrustations of velvet or silk, as shown in one of this group, are also very fashionable. They begin on the flonnce and extend half-way up the skirt. Long Shoulder Effects. Women who have been bewailing the too terrible trying effect of the perfectly plain sleeve, will rejoice to hear that word comes from an au thentic source that there is to be a lit tle fullness in the tops of the sleeves, or a littla trimming to modify the very close-fitting effect. Of course, this will not be generally adopted, as yet many gowns are being still made with the perfeotly smooth sleeve top. The long shoulder seams do riguer now have helped to bring about tliie change, and the desired result may be obtained by running a piece of the material down over the top of the sleeve, or a three-cornered cap, or epaulettee, is used either loose or ap pliqued onto the top of the sleeve. Every device is employed to give the proper long shoulder effect and added breadth, too. Many of the lace trimmed gowns have inserting car ried over the sleeve top, ending in a point. Hat* and Cape* to Match. A late mode that deserves mention, just because it is so very new and novel, but too conspicuous to find favor, is the fashion of having hats of light tints and short chiffon capes to match, that are only suitable for mid summer wear. While this idea will undoubtedly be short-lived and scant favored, yet it is among the novelties of the season. Combinations of pink and blue are most commonly exhib ited, but one absurd creation was of pale green in toque shape, trimmed with bunches of green and purple grapes with a green chiffon cape tied with purple ribbons. Summer Street Gowns Shorter. Summer gowns for morning and street wear are being made decidedly shorter, some even quite to clear the ground, or at least to so stand out all around that there is no apparent train effect. The demi train is still en regie for afternoon dressy gowns and iudoor wear. Very few underskirts are worn this season under tk'« dress skirts, and these are fitted exactly to the outside one with as little fullness as possible, to preserve the correct slender effect. The Sunshade Tear. The rose-petaled effect is one of the handsomest of the season's parasols. While lace inserts in silks, tucks horizontal or vertical, cordings and plisses of every variety of stuff are sc artistically treated that the sunshades of 1900 seem to put all the other years in the shade. Neckwear Galore. In neckwear long lace scarfs, knotted ends, Empire ties, berthas, fronts for bolero jackets, four-in-hand silk ring scarfs, and the familiar stock collar in a thousand forms comprise the assortment. A Pretty V-ShapM Neck. A Y-shaped neck, filled in with transparent lace, is a pretty accom paniment for the lace undersleeve. A tleclded Novelty. Goats finished off about the neck without a collar are decided novelties this season. The one shown here is for a general utility outing costume, a light-weight, dark-colored Oxford mix ture, tbe facings of revers and cuffs being melton in a buckskin shade. The hat, a soft brown felt, is recom mended far its becoming smartness.

How the British soldier in the field regards the reverses to British arms is told by a correspondent of the London Daily News, who says: "I was at Orange river when the news of Oiatacre's reverse arrived, and I did not see one lugubrious face 01 hear one despondent sentiment among the troops here. The artillery lost some guns; I asked au artillery mac what he thought of it. He cheerfully remarked it was hard lines, and—an ticipating the philosophical minister— thonght that losses were inevitable. 4 Ou every side a dozen causes were as s gned for Gatacre's defeat bac guiding, treachery, the fact that the ' country through which he marched was to all intents and purposes over run with spies, that the Boers mus* have reinforced and changed their po< sition during the night—every feasi< ble explanation, in fact, except that advanced by the"Man iu the Bar," that the general was an incompetent muddler.

Not Shady. Among the true and graceful say ings credited to the late Bishop Brooks is one which is especially well worth remembering. A friend was speaking to the bishop of a clergymau whose congregation had begun to feel that it would be ad visable for them to have a youugei man in the pulpit. "Oh, well, it's the way of the world!" said this person, in reply to au iudignant remonstrance ou the part of the bishop. "You see, he's on the shady side of 05." "The shady side!" echoed the bishop, quickly. "You mean the sunny side! It's the side nearest glorv!"
