then, aud I said to myself, 'That's
part, of the story!' Hay, Nell, you
aud I nve contributing a pretty in
teresting little sorial to the world,
don't you think?"
With a wrench she brought herself
to raise her eyes from the fire aud
look at him.Rteadily. If there was a
film of moisture over them he did not
notice it.
"We have both had great good for
tune, Bob," she said. "We never
dreamed of anything quite so grand as
this, oven in our story. Think of me
with servants and a chnpurono no one
over doubted that I could tnke care of
myself as long as I was poor, but now
it is quite uitlerent. Aud a borne
think of mo with any kind of a home!
I hud lived in rented houses all my
life, aud very poor ones at that. And
here I am, my own mistress "
"Aud that reminds mo you haven't
heard the best of my fortune yet,"
cried the man, growing more radiaut
us he came to the piece of news that
would please her best. He was feel
ing for something in his breast po-jket,
and he drew it forth presently a pho
tograph of a girl, with a petted, baby
ish face and a pert upward tilt of the
ohin.
"There she is," he said, smiling and
reddening with pride and pleasure be
neath the tan. "Her father is presi
dent of the oorapauy, and she aud her
mother have beeu out here most of
the fall on a visit to him."
She held the photograph with a
steady hand and gazed at it for a loug
time so long that ho grow tired of
waiting aud went ou with his jubilant
explanation.
"She doesn't like living at the
mines," he said, "so 1 have sold out
my interests there. They are all ootn
iug ou iu a week or two, and wo nro to
bo married noxt month. You are to
be first bridesmaid, Nell I have told
her all about you. You'll never be
lieve that at first Bhe was inclined to
be jealous!"
"1'oor, silly littlo girl!" said Nell,
laughing softly at the idea.
"Yos that's what I told her. If
she could only kuow you, I said, she'd
never have another feeling of that
sort. But at any rate, she's over it
cow. I am going to try to get a home
somewhere near this, where yon caa
bo with her most of the time unless
you'll come aud live with us, Nell,
whioh would bo the most delightful
thiug iu the world. She's such a
child, you know, aud sho must have
company most of tho time "
She stirred at last, slowly and pain
fully, and laid the photograph down
ou the table. The Mime had died
down iu the grate, and its glow had
suddenly flipped from her face.
"You were so kind to think of it,
Bob," she said, with a smile on her
pallid lips, "you know that would be
lovely. I couldn't have dreamed of
anything better myself. But didn't
I tell you? I am going away noxt
week to-morrow aud will uot be
here when she comes. Oive her my
best love, won't you? and tell her that
I know sho'U bo happy with the best
follow in the world."
"Going away!" cried Bob, in dis
may. "Why, Noll! Aud leave your
new home? and just when I have
come back, tool
"Solflsh, isn't it?" she roplied,
rising as ho aroso, and leauiug one
hand lightly on the mantel not for
support surely? "But I was always
sollish, Bob; and the passion for travel
is on mo. You can't expect me to ro
moinbor frionds when I have worlds
of money nud nm my owu mistroHS. I
am off to California Japan, perhaps
I haven't dooidod yet."
"And I had beeu planning such a
lovoly continuation of onr story," he
said, dejootodly. "You might stay
awhile for my sake, Nell. Away out
there in the minos I have beeu thiuk
ing what jolly times we'd have to
getherwith her and how we'd
laugh over old times aud ovor that

"Yes, they have beeu so amusing,"
she said liuhtly, yet with a thread of
aaonv running through the note of
iraiety. "I shall uever think of them

She shook bauds with him, and he
wont away with a puzzled frown on
his brows. Sho stood where he bad

smile ou her lips. The oat came to

double circulation underlies all the

bo recognized in any definition of tho

Sir James Sawyer, M. J)., writes in

What life in other worlds may be is
an ever fascinating theme for specula

baen considering the matter, and
agreo in the eonolusion that vital pro

element whose compounds are in a
condition of critical equilibrium at life
temperatures. Mr. Martin, however,
looks upon carbon as tho fundamental
life element, while Dr. Allen finds
nitrogeu the ossential substance. Mr.
Martin thinks that in the high tem
peratures of Jeome celestial bodies a
series of complex aud inslablo silicon
compounds may bo formed and that iu
warmer worlds .than ours silicon life
may be possible. I'ossibly our Bilicou

New York's boundaries, though ap
parently sottlod in 1770, have been
subject to critical examination from
time to time by various Commissioners
aud agents and havo been re-examiued
and established under authority of
various legislative enactments. Au
act was passed by the Legislature,
May 2b, 187u, uirooting the Commis
sioners to resume the work of ex
amination of the true looation of tho
monuments whioh mark tho several
boundaries of this State, as author
ized by the Senate resolution of 1807,
and in connection with tho authori
ties of Pennsylvania and Now Jersey,
respectively, to replace any monu
ments which may have becotuo dilapi
dated or been removed, ou the bound
ary linos of those States. A com
mittee was appointod for this purpose
June 1, 1870. Iu 1880 the New York
Commissioners met Commissioners
appointed by the States of Pennsyl
vania and Now Jersey for the pur
pose cf ascertaining the boundary
lines as origiually established and
marked with monuments. The Com
missioners were authorized to renew
auy dilapidated cr lost monuments
and to erect additional, ones if deemed
necessary. Under the provisions of
thia law the New Jersey toundary
line was completed us recently as 1883

by a more thau usually successful man
of affairs, a man who, while he actu
ally gives less time apparently to busi
ness, public or personal affairs thau
many men I know, of a certainty does
accomplish more iu every way, "all
owing to my doing a thiug the very
moment it i I thought of, that is, if it
is possible. If I should wait, a thou
sand petty hindrances would arise,
and so I take advantage of things as
they come, whether it be to soe a man
ou business, to look up an address, t
write a oheck, or to order my spriug
suit. There is no timo like the very
moment at hand fcr keeping eveu with
yourself. This is a bit of philosophy
evolved from mauy years of the worka
day, and my plan works like a charm
in cicumventing the rush of things."

SUMMER NEEDLt-WORK.
The Way to I'rnvlilo Your Autumn Wnrri
roll lUirlnu tlie Warm Mouth.
The summer months aro often as
sociated with thoughts of relaxation
vacation times, not to say idling.
As a matter of fact it is the time par
excellence in which the woman of do
montio taste naturally turns to needle
craft. This may take tho form of
fancy embroidery, the development of
new ornamental stitches, such as now
figure so largely in the drcss-makiug
domaiu or tho muking-up of fancy
nuderwear, tho marking of table
linen, etc. Kvery branch has its
own quota of interest and devotees.
Art embroidery, such as is to be
seen upon t ti a handsome centre
pioccs and bed-linen of the present,
includos a great deal of raised work,
together with fancy open stitches, tho
making of which is one of the most
fascinating employments for the
needle-woman whose tastes run
only to the decorative; but tho varied
trimming of gowus of tho present
soasou is of au equally high order of
workmanship, aud the clever noodlc
woman during tho summer may, if
she will, provido her autumn ward
robo with any number of beautiful
accessories, such as handsome em
broidered Boarfs, rullles, or yokes,
which contiuuo to bo plentifully used.
Where the neodlo-woik laid out for
the summer is to cousist of the dec
oratiou of dressos, tho intending
worker should prepare, herself by a
littlo kuowladgo of tho cutting and
fitting of a garment she contemplates
ornamenting. Nothing "takes" em
broidery with baudsomer results than
crepe do chiue, yet scarcoly auy ma
terial is more difficult to handle.
Generally speaking, the best effects
can bo secured by purchasing or om
broidering separate figures and ap
plying them t'j the crepe with regular
applique stitch. Whero this is
dono tho garment may be made com
plete Lofoie ndjusting the trimming.
Where the embroidery is to be dono
while tho crepo is still in the piece
this latter should be basted to a firm
sheet of paper aud tho dosign em
broidered through both cropo and
papor. When the chosen garniture
is complete tho paper may bo cut
away and carofully picked out bo as to
leave no inartistic stiffness.
lUbbou embroidery is reappearing
on handsome gauze gowns. This is a
style of decoration which may bo
accomplished vory rapidly. It con
sists iu formiug petals of gauze, thin
taffeta, or uustiffened gros gruiu rib
bon, aud working centre pistils iu seed
stitches that secure the imitation
petals in position, while leaving the
outer edgos comparatively loose. A
handsome dinuer gown of mousseliue
do soie, whioh is designed for olaborate
summer functions, shows this style of
embroidery in fine effect. Large prim
roses of silk gauze form tho figure of
the motive, the petals being slightly
raised by means of au interlining of
cotton. Elaborate trimmings of this
kind, however, aro worthy only of
materials whioh make a great display.
A simpler trimming nud one that
gives an "air" to simple silk waists or
skirts, consists ol lines of herring
bone stitches, from beneath which
the material is cut away. Harper's

The threatened bonne ferumo skirt
was bad euough, but now there seems
to bo a movement towards .crosswise
fullness.
Yes, ono or two of the importod
evening dressos show this very effect
whioh we wore wont to cull drapiug.
Now, drapiug sounds well, and in
deed, it is vory lovoly and graceful,
especially for curtains aud canopies.
But for our ownselvcs well, if it's
just the sanio to the designer, we'd
rather not.
It is man, dear man! who usually
gives himself tho troublo of thinking
out these elaborate nuisauces for
poor, incapable femininity. And
right here we'd like to know whnt he
has against ns. If ho really thinks
draped clothing so altogether admir
able, why doosn't ho put in a bit of
bis valuublo time conjuring up puffed
waistcoats, plaited coats and draped
breetobes with dust-catching rullles
for his own sex? It really isn't fair
to load upon us all tbo wondrous
children of his gigautio brain.
Really, wo are not selfish; we'd
delight to share our loveliness with
him!
Especially the draped part of it.
Drapery, you kuow, while possess
ing a string of virtues, gets eveu by
also possessing even more vices. Out
side of the fact that it's always be
coming disarranged, there's the gentle
little way it has of sagging down uu
til tho fair wearer catches her foot in it.
Being thrown down by graceful
drapering is no more consoling than
a less of picturesque tumble If you
break your noso, it's broken, aud
that's all. Philadelphia Ueeoid.

An artistic coiffeur says that the
hair will be woru in a low coil at the
back of the head this summer, if only
to give the crown of the head a rest.
The front tresses are to be worn in a
pretty way that is novel and very be
coming to mauy faces. It is a mode
seen iu paintings of fair dames iu the
days of powder, and from ono of the
picture galleries tho idea has probably
been borrowed. It in very much the
fashion to make picture gowns "after"
Komney aud Sir Joshua, David and
other conrt painters, and it is only
natural that tho wonderful puffs aud
curls and ringlots that these gentle
men loved to depict should be revived
by tho umbitious modern hairdresser.
Iu thin new coiffure there is, just iu
the oentro of the forehead or a little
to tho left side, a big, loosely built
curl, rising erect from the brow, aud
the hair at the side is puffed up very
softly and fin (lily to meet it, all the
becoming qualities of the pompadour
being thus preserved without the
sameness and stiffness of the luodo to
which we have become so wearily
accustomed. With so much hoight no
high ornumeuts aro needod, and a
clump of flowers will take tho place
of upstanding sprays. In Paris, how
ever, a very thick bunch of aigrette
plumes is tho correct aud favorite

It is simply beautiful.
And this holds good throughout tho

The scarf is particularly graceful as
a finish, whether it is made of rlimiest
chilfou or of liberty panne. The latter
is mostly trimmed across the ends
with friuge, while the chiffon is either
simply hemmed or edged with a plait

cordioucd its wholo length.
Those graceful scarfs go twice
around tho neck and are drawn into a
knot or through a slide at the bust
line. Tho ends bang a few inches be
low the waist line.
Sometimes the scarf is gathered in
to a knot with short loops. The knot
then looks like a rosette.
At any rate, these scarfs are very
picturesque,

nnd gauzy rosettes or pompons are tho

Novel Frult-Ilece For the Table.
Here is an idea that may appeal to
an entertainer. It is an evident fact
that the time-honored fruit-dish, with
its assortment of fruit, no longer lias
any place on a modern table; each
kind of fruit is put by itself on a
separate silver dish artistically ar
ranged. Any one who lias a little
taste can imitate the arrangement.
Take four plates of equal size; put on
them some green leaves bay-leaves,
goraninms, or whatever one happens
to have at hand and arrange the
fruits to suit the different kinds.
Make a pyramid of bright red apples,
with four apples for a base, three on
top, and one on top of all, with the
leaves in between. Arrange oranges
in the same way, but on the third
plale lay bunches of grapes carelessly
on leaves, aud on the fourth put ba
nanas. Lo! with the four plates at
the four corners your table is dressed
at once. Nuts may be used instead
of fruit ou one plate, aud figs and
dates on the othor, but beware of the
old-fashioned fruit basket or dish if
you wish your table to be up to date.

When You Hang- Your Pioturo.
By hanging pictures low you in
crease the apparent height of tho
room.
Colored picturos should not be hung
in hallways or on staircases uuloss
there is plenty of light for them. In
such places strong photograjihs, en
graviugs. aud drawings iu black aud
white go host.
A picture should not be hnug from
one nail; tho diamond lines formed by
the oord havo a very discordant effect.
Two uails aud two vertical cords, or,
what is far mope safe, pieces of wire
cordage, should be used iustead of the
singlo cord.
Picture cords should be as near the
color of the wnll upon which they aro
put as possible, so that they may bo
but littlo seen. When one picture is
hung beneath another the bottom ono
should be hung from the one above,
and not from the top; thus we avoid
multiplying the cords, whioh is al
ways objectionable.
A good hne for walls where prints
or photographs are to be hang is a
rioh yellow brown or a loather color.
Luster to the blaok of the print of the
tone of the photograph is thus im
parted. The wall paper should have
no strongly defined pattern.
Tbo centre of the pioture, as a rule,
should not bo much above the level
of the eye.

by organtnlng relief movements for

lias a host of relatives, all of whom
