"You see the turn just ahead?" said
Mary she did not propose to listen to a
rehearsal of Miss Perry's triumphs.
"Thut brings us to tho Walk. It is an
kvenue of oaks, which gives it iU name.
Come up here, and you can seo the river,"
raid Mary, mechanically.
"A charming view," said Mr. Olney,
niljust'mg bis eye-gla.-s. "Ah, Mag and
Mr. Thompson are upon us!"
They were, at last; Miss Perry with a
pretty minus and graeefully-ilangling par
asol, Phil with ft somewhat dazed look
on his handsome, honest face.
"It's done!" Mary thought, bitterly.
"It is too late! Oh, she should be

"AYhat are thoso flowers down there?"

said Mr, Oln-y, sternly, but got no further.
She bail lipp'jd. I)own,down tho sheer
bank she went sliding, with a dirt rend

frightened hands, till she clutched nt a
sapling rooted fur below, and sank down
with n little exhausted shriek.
"Well, how can we get to her?"
Phil gasped.
"Upon my word, I don't know!" said
Mr. Olney, angrily. "She's a madcapl"'

"If -you will take that It will bring you

"We will walk unwn hiki meet you

"Very well," said Mary, frigidly.
Miss Perry, with n Inst defiant word or
two, was oil.
M -.ry led toe way down the walk stiffly.
Phil was laughing.
"Miss Perry is irrepressible!" ho ob
served, admiringly.
"Oh, she's a madcap," Mr. Olney rc
pca'.ei, strolling leisurely in tho rear.
Mary accomplished tho five minutes'
walk in silence.
A slender figure, in dragglod black
silii, looked up at them drolly from down
the slope.
Phil and Mr. Olncy sprang down and
pulled her up. Mary was positive she
had stopped there purposely.
Her heart burned within her. What a
fool she would hive looked in such a
po lit ion !
I Jut Miss Perry was flushed and laugh
ing and lovely.
"What arc you giggling at, you
wretches?" she cried, t'pping her bent
bonnet recklessly over her nose, and
spreading her lace skirt which hung in
tags. "Stop this minute, Marmadukc!
I've had a delight fill little excursion, l'vo
enjojed it there now! 1 didn't got my
violets, but "
Miss Perry was turning white. Sho
clasped her round arm with a shiver of
pain, lilood w;s trickling on tho fair
skin.
"It was a stone it cut it as I fell!"
she murmured.
Now she would have pity anil concern

scheme, Marw' reflected, irefully.
Phil would have tcy'hel) her home.
She turned away, her'.'.'j between her
teeth, hot and futipc tears j0 her eyes.
She would not look on at it ! v
Hut it was Miss Perry's ambli"011
lative who offered bis arm.
"If you've had clinch of an escapado,
Mag," ho remarked, drily, "perhaps
you'll let me take you home?"
She took his arm without a word, that
warm red rising in her soft fne?; and
Phil joined Mary.
Mary looked fixedly ut the river. Sho
felt Phil's big, blue iyes tipou her, but
site did not meet them.

"What's the matter. Mary?" ho stam-
mereil, at last, "l i you ion i seem
to like Miss Perry much, Mary."
That was too much.
"No, I don't," said Mary grimly.
"I think she's jolly, you know," said
Phil timidly. "And I'm sorry for her
awfully sorry!"
"It is only a scratch, said Mary, with
forced calmness.
I don't mean thut," said Phil. lie
took Mary's elbow to help her up the
grade, but sho pulled it away. "Not
that, you kuow. You see, she I won
der if she'd mind my telling you just
you?"
"I dou't waut to hear it," said Mary,
iu agony.
"Shu wouldn't mind," Phil insisted.
"If sho told me, sho'd tell anybody. It's

that is, but she'd like him to be. They've

Olney wants it to come to anything. He's
so careless and lazy, sho doesn't know
whether he likes her or not. But she
likes him. She told mo that right out,
Mary, as innocent as a baby; seemed to

cried when sho said it just cried. That

How liie Baby Grows.
In t lie last volumo of the "Kdueation
Series" on the "Development of the In
tellect," II. W. Urown has presented a
conspoctus of the observations of Pro
fessor Preyer on the mind of the child,
which shows chronologically tV.e gradual
development of the senses, intellect and
will of the growing child, nnd presents
in a condensed form the result of a great
number of careful obnrvatiors. It is re
corded that sensibility to light, touch,
temperature, smell and taste arc present
on tho first day of infant life. Hearing,
therefore, is the only specii I sense which
is not nctive at this time. Tho child
hears by the third or fourth day. Tost
and smell are senses at first most active,
but they are not differentiated. Ocneral
organic sensations of well-being or dis
comfort are felt from the first ; but pain
and pleasure, us mental states, aro nut
noted till at or near the second month.
The first sign of speeeh in the shape
of utterance of consonant sounds is beard
iiv the latter part of the second mouth,
these consonants being generally "m,"
"r," "g" or "t." All the movements
of the eyes become co-ordinate by tlio
fourth month, and by this time the child
begins to have the "feeling of self"
thut is, hn looks at his own hands and
looks at himself in tho mirror. The
study of tho child's mind during the first
year shows conclusively that ideas de
velop and reasoning processes occur be
fore there is any knowledge of words or
of language; though it may bo assumed
that the child thinks in s mbols, visual
or auditory, which are clumsy equiva
lents for words. By tho end of the year
tho child begins to express itself by
sounds that is, speech begins. The
development of this speech capacity ii,
according to Preyer, in accordance with
tho development of the intellectual
powers. By the end of the second year
the child's power of speech is practically
acquired. Chk.igo IkralJ.

A wonderful freak of nature, resulting
from tho charming of a hen by a huge
rattlesnake, is reported by .Major Scheller
do Huol, who resides just south of this
it y, on the line of the Burlington roml.
Tho Major states that he had occasion to
search for a favorite hen belonging to his
coop of rare fowls, and ho found her
near a pile of brush, trembling liko a
leaf, nnd gazing with strained eyes nnd
neck transfixed ut huge rattlesnake,
which lay coiled not four feet away, with
head and tail up, ready for his fatal
spring. Major do Buol had a hoe in his
hand at the time, nnd lost no timo m ilo-
spatching his suakeship. Ho then at
tempted to "shew ' tiie lien to tlio barn,
but sho could not be made to stir, and he
accordingly picked her up nnd curried
her in his arms to tho coop. The strung
est thing about tho incident above nar-
ratod is thnt for three successive days
thereafter the hen laid an egg, on tho
largo end of which was nn exact repre
sentation in miniature of tho rattlesnake,
the flat head, short, thick body and but
ton tail of this species of reptile being
strikiugly apparent. Otherwise tho eggs
were perfectly formed nnd of ordinary
size. The coils or representations of the
suuko aro raised a quarter of an inch from
the Bhcll, and are siugulgrly lormetl ou
tho inside, showing conclusively that it
was the work of nuturo. The eggs were
brought to this city and presented to Dr.
E. K. Kittoo by Major do Buol, and are
now on exhibition at einiger s drug store,
where they have been seen and examined

soon as the former begins to show signs
of wear; and so, stocking mending has

are still situations where it may bo nec
essary. Listen to tho ingenious way in
which a South American traveler con

larger than tho area of tho hole to be re
paired, filling tho stocking with sand or
sticking the prepared cloth over the hole,
and then coagulating tho milk by tlio ad
ditiun of a littlo acid, the rent placo has
beon rendered stronger thau any other

Intelligent Horses. '
It Is a great mistake to imagine tli
ail tho best trained and most iutellige
horses are to be scon iu circuses. I ha:

of horses which know moro and ui

I ever saw; and, what is more, they wi
obey nnywhere and under any condition
which a so called educated horso proh
bly would not. The fire brigade horses

The President of France.
Bays a correspondent, speaking ol
President Carnot, of France: "He is
dressed with notable care. Good tasto
as well as good tailoring characterizes
his shapely figure. The short coat in
closes a slim but compact figure. His logs,
as ho strides a spirted horse, aro those of
a man of quick and easy digestion ; thero
is no suggestion of gout in the calves. His
face is a study in black and white. The
skin is pale, almost transparent. Tho
beard and mustache, both carefully
trimmed, aro even. The nose, slightly
aquiline, would be Roman but for a de
cided Jewish cast which marks the entire
countenance." -
