Mayor of Dnblin's Dlgnltv. The Lord Mayo* of Dublin malntalna a degree of pomp and circumstance far greater thi<n that of any other civic dignitary lu the United Kingdom out side of London. His official residence is a stately edifice, with ample accom modation for entertaining. Including '"the round room," a vast chamber constructed when the city entertained George IV. The equipages and pow dered footmen of his lordship would do no discredit to his brother official in London. The Lord Mayor receives $15,000 a year, but it must be remem bered that $15,000 a year in Dublin goes further than it does In London.

I know a man who has no friend In all this teeming earth ; His days In solitude he'll end Afar from sounds of mirth. The truth somehow went to his head ; By trouble he Is caught.

He is due To feel the social curse Which o'er the over-bold Is spread." His life with woe Is fraught. Ami all because be frankly said What everybody thought. \ A PATENT ELOPEMENT. "A visitor, Jabez." Old Farmer Smith rose from the din ner table and picked up his hat from the side of the chair. "Who is it, wife?" be asked. "A young man," she replied. The farmer's lip set tight as he wit nessed a glance which passed between his wife and his daughter. "I understand," he said, severely, with a determined look at the anxious face of the girl. "That city chap, Austin." "Yes,father," she replied. "I'll settle his business for him," and Farmer Smith strode Into the parlor, his heavy boots sounding a death-knell to tbe faint hopes In the sinking of pretty, winsome Alice Smith. "So you're here again, eh?" The brusque Interrogatory did not seem to crush the courteous, handsome young man, who arose - and faced the farmer. "Yes, Mr. Smith," was his reply. "And on the same old errand, I sup pose ?" "Yes, sir; I came to ask your con sent—" "You can't have It!" interrupted Farmer Smith, savngely. "Alice alu't going to marry you or any body else, just yet." "But time—" "You've heard me, Mr. Leslie Austin. You can't have my daughter." "I love her, Mr. Smith." "Nonsense! She's too young to know her own mind. I have said my say, and the harvest hands are waiting. Good day, sir!" Under such determined resistance, Leslie Austin retreated. He bit his lips angrily, as he walked rapidly down the road to the village hotel. "It's a shame," decided his friend Bob Townsend, as he heard the dis appointed lover's story. "We think so much of each other," murmured Leslie, mournfully. "You ain't going to give up this way, are you?" asked Bob. Leslie looked up inquiringly. "What else can I do?" he asked. "Marry her," said Bob. "Her father won't consent." "Suppose he don't" Leslie started, but shook bis head slowly. "1 know what you're hitting at. Bob —an elopement." "You're right." "But it could not be." "Why not?" "Because Alice is bound to obey her father, and 1 am. too, for that matter." Bob scowled Impatiently. "Nonsense!" lie aspirated, angrily. "See here, Leslie. If you were the ir responsible chap old Smith thinks you, I'd hesitate; but you ain't—you're an honest, well-to-do lawyer, respectably connected, and only laboring under a prejudice on the farmer's part, that be cause neighbor Jones' girl married a worthless man from the metropolis all such matches must end similarly." "Granted." "Therefore, being in the right, and the old farmer in one of his mad moods, I'd outwit him." "How?" The query was encouraging. "Hun away with Alice," said Bob. "1 can't." "Why not?" "Her father watches her too closely." "That's the only reason, is it?" "I believe so." "She's willing?" "Presumably." "And you?" "O, Bob, you're talking nonsense! I might as well go back to the city and wait until Mr. Smith changes his mind." "And let some other fellow have Alice. You're a brave lover!" Leslie was despondent. "I have a plan, if you're plucky enough to follow it out," suggested Bob. Leslie's face grew expectant at the hint. "What is It?" he asked. "Listen!" What Bob told the discournged lover need not be repeated. The subsequent acts of the conspirators afford a suf ficient explanation. It was the next day that faithful Bob reeonnoitered the ground, and found that Farmer Smith had indeed taken due precaution to prevent lilsdaughter meeting or running away with Leslie. But Bob managed to get a letter to tbe fair prisoner—a letter after read ing which secretly she manifested her acquiescence to its contents by an in telligent nod to the messenger. It wns of the day fol lowing. lust Farmer Smith had sent bis two boys to the town with a load of potatoes, and was seated, resting for an hour or two, on the front porch, with Alice industriously sewing by his side, that a vehicle driven by a single occupant came down the road. Old .labez looked in profound amaze ment as the vehicle came to a stop. It WHS a kind of skeleton wagon, with a double seat, and behind It was at tached a small rubber hose, with s»v eral wheels distributed hero and there, near the axle. "In the name of wonder, what have we nere?" he aaid, as he walked to the gate. The driver sprang down. "Jabez Smith?" he asked. The farmer nodded a dignified as sent, little dreaming that the bearded stranger was Bob Townsend in dis guise. "I learn from inquiries in the village that you are quite a scientist, Mr. Smith." Science, of which old Jabez knew nothing, but affected much, was his salient point. Flattered by the strang er's words, he replied pompously. "I reckon I knowsomethingabout it." "I have come, Mr. Smith," said the stranger, "to show you a new motive power for hayrakes." The farmer's face fell. "A patent right!" he muttered. "1 don't want to buy one," he said, aloud, turning to re-enter the house. "Buy one!" replied the stranger." "This is not for sale, sir," declared Bob, with quiet dignity. "I deslreyour opinion as a scientist in regard to the principles Involved in its construction and operations." The farmer's face grew pleased again. "Happy to give it, sir. If I can be of any use to the world at large by my knowledge of science—" "Or make your fellow beings happy, you're ready to sacrifice your valuable time—eh, Mr Smith?" insinuated Bob. "Certainly, sir." "You can—you can, believe me sir," asseverated the wicked conspirator, earnestly and truthfully. "Have you a rake?" "Yes." "I'll help you bring it o'ut here, and we'll make a trial trip of this wonder ful machine." A few minutes later the farmer's hay rake was brought out. Bob made much ado of fastening it by a rope to the rear of the vehicle, and the farmer watched him curiously, as he turned the wheels and adjusted the hose to what he called position. "This hose is an air brake, sir. The idea is, if we can make it do so, to have tiie rake operate as usual. The air brake might otler a resistance to the ground, push forward the front ve hicle. and ventilate the hay. Man and brute creation demand air—why not vehicles?" "Quite true," replied Jabez, some what dubious and perplexed over the apparent uselessness of the machine. "Utility and nonrefragibility, Mr. Smith," rattled on Bob, recklessly. "The hypothenuse of the curve of the diameter of the axle, you perceive, lias a circumferential effect upon tliespher oid concavity of the brake. You will understand these terms, Mr. Smith, as a mathematician and scientist. All ready ?" Farmer Smith, overcome by the lofty words, obeyed mutely, as Bob request ed him to get into the rake seat. • "I'll drive the preliminary vehicle," explained Bob, with a serene chuckle at the fun of his oratory, "and you will watch the effect of the air brake —if tiie friction of thewheels generates air—over yonder stretch of meadow. By tiie way, is one of your hands around?" "They've gone to town," replied Jabez, glumly. lie had a vague consciousness that the stranger was a charlatan, for he could not for the life of him see what possible use the clumsy combination of wheels and hose could be. "All, there is a young lady! lour daugliter.Mr. Smith, I presume?" said Bob, raising his hat politely. "There must be more weight on tiie seat of the front vehicle. If you'll let her take her seat beside me, iii the interests ot science, Mr. Smith?" He almost lost his dignified gravity as he saw the suspicious look on the old farmer's face. The last words, "in the Interests of science," however, decided Mr. Smith. "Jump in, Alice," he said, desperate ly. The stranger whipped up the horse. Old Jabez, in the rake seat behind, clung on wildly as the horse was driven briskly. He almost fell for ward as there was a break caused by the rope parting. Bob had deftly cut it with a knife. "Hold on—hold on!" cried old Ja bez. as the new motor-power vehicle dashed forward. He stared blankly as it traversed the field, made a sharp turn to tin; road and, gracefully rounding a curve in the highway, disappeared from view. What did It mean? The boys had taken the horses to town, anil he could not start In pursuit; but he grew white as he discerned a fact: He had been tricked! He had cooled down considerably when, at nightfall, a carriage drew up before the gate. lie looked grimly up from l>eneath iiia shaggy eyebrows as Leslie Austin and pretty, blushing Alice came for wa rd. Bob, following them, was the first to speak. "The new motor power took up a new passenger down the road. Farm er Smith," he said slyly. "You wanted to make mankind happy, neighbor—you've done it." Jabez made a feint to declare hos tilities, then and there, against the conspirators, but he sank back dis armed in Ills chair as the gentle voice of his wife saitl, pleadingly: "Forgive them, father—they are so happy!" And Farmer Smith had not the heart to say nay. When the Hrltinh 1 eft Boston, On March 17, 177.", there were British soldiers in the town and harbor in Boston.

A recipe for this whipped cream dressing is: Take two eggs, three tablespoonfuls of vinegar, two tablespoonfuls of cream, one table spoonful of sugar, a quarter of a table spoonful of mustard.
