Then followi 1 the answer to my letter, which showed that under tier serious de ineanor there ran a vein of fun. Soon • ame a happy evening, when I was Invited to call upon her with my brother, who had something to report concerning the unknown heir. We found Mrs Ilvues looking rather frail In a delicate green gown—frail, but charming. I had been wondering what her name was, and I did not like to ask Jim. "Her name Is Lillian," I thought. "Was ever name so fitting?" Then as she and my brother discussed their 1 isln«-stj uffairs I took lu the sur rounding We were in the library, furnished lu green, with daring dashes of crimson The mantel pleased me especially It held but two articles—a vase of autumn leaves and a small green l>o\ the latter seemed familiar to me somehow.

There were other evenings after that ; when I visited Mrs. Hynes alone, and ea< h time I went away determined that at the next visit I would disclose to her the state of my feelings. Each time I was deterred by circumstances. As with a breath, my heritage had been blown away, and at something more than thirty 1 was beginning life anew.

There was a strange note In her soft laughter "When 1 was a boy," 1 began, "I went to school at Glenhrook, where my parents lived, not many miles from here W'v moved away from the place when 1 was fourteen and my chosen playmate, I.udema Sears, was twelve.

"Had It escaped your Inconstant memory that you promised to meet me here when you were twenty one and marry me?" she asked severely. "I remember now," I meekly. "Did you keep the appoint ment?" It was her turn to blush, while I laughed comfortably. "So we're even on that score. But there is still tin* a'.air of the red ap ple." "Perhaps we had better call It square," she suggested. Then impul sively -he laid her head on my shoul der and whispered: "Oh, Billie. dear!" Wandering \eedles. In one of the medical Journals a sur geon recorded some years ago m strange Instance of the wanderings of a needle In a lady. The patient called upon him, stating that the greater portion of an ordinary sewing needle had broken In the first joint of her left thumb. The surgeon could plainly feel the nee dle point, but after Ineffectual attempts at the extraction of the foreign body he recommended that nothing further should be done le-t the attempts to re move it might result lu greater injury to the Joint. About a year afterward, however, the patient called upon him to Inform him that a day or two pre viously she had felt a pricking sensa tion of the right forefinger, and, hav ing broken the skin, she without diffi culty e\t racted the portion of the lost needle from the point of the finger. Thus the ii" 'die traveled from Ihe left thumb along the an i. across the chest to the right ar;n and down the latter to the finger, where it was extracted.— Chambers' Journal.

In lCifhS, there was a great uprising against the "oriental beverage of hades." It was satirized on every hand, the bitterest Invectives coining from the pulpit.

According 1» the encyclopedia, the bag pipe is a wind instrument the fixed char acteristic of which has always been , two or more reed pipes attached to and ( sounded by a wind chest, or bag, which ' bag has in turn been supplied either by the lungs of the performer or by a bel lows. The original instrument was pre- | Kimiably the simple reed, or shepherd's pipe, which was well known to the ; Trojans, Egyptians. Greeks and Ro- j mans. But the strain of blowing these j ancient pipes was so great that some j genius conceived the idea of having u. reserve supply of wind in a bag attach ed to the pipes, and hence tin- bagpipe. The lirsi real instrument is believed to have been a skill of u goat or kid. with two pipes, through one of which the bag was inflated, the other emitting the sound. In early times tho bagpipe was com mon in Great Britain and abroad. At one time there were five different kinds known on the contineut, some inflated 1 by the mouth and others by bellows, while in the British isles three kinds were known -the great highland bag pipe, the lowland bagpipe of Scotland (which closely resembled the Northum brian) and the Irish bagpipe. In the great highland bagpipe, which originally had but one drone, a valved tube leads from the mouth to an air tight bag. which has four other orifices, three large enough to contain the base of three fixed long tubes, termed drones, and another smaller to which is fitted the chanter. The three are thrown on the shoulder, while the latter is held In the hands. All four ; ipes are filled with reeds, but of different kinds. The drones are tuned by means of sliders, or movable Joints, and this tuning or preparation for playing, which general ly occupies a few minutes of the piper's time before he begins the tune proper, Is heard with impatience by those not accustomed to the instrument. Indeed, it gave rise to the saying, applied in Scotland to those who waste time over small matters, "You are longer in tun ing your pipes than in playing your tune." The Scottish lowland bagpipe, like the Northumbrian pipe, was in two forms, one consisting of a smaller and milder toned edition of the highland in strument and the other a miniature of this and having the same relation to it as the fife has to a German band. Its great drawback, from the point of view of the devotees of the highland bagpipe. Is that It Is inisuited to perform what they consider the perfection of pipe nm sic—the pibroch. These small pipes were, however, gentler than the high land, having the same tone, but less sonorous. It was to the strains of such a bagpipe that Chaucer tells us the com pany of pilgrims left London, and it is the same Instrument that is alluded to | In Shakespeare as the Lincolnshire bag | pipe. The Irish bagpipe is the instrument in i its most elaborate form and is supplied with wind by a bellows The drones are all fixed on one stock and have keys which are played by the wrist of the right hand. The reeds are soft and the tones very sweet and melodious, and there Is a harmonious bass which Is very effective in the hands of a good player. The Irish instrument is fast dying out. The bagpipe, though at one time fair ly common, never obtained a firm hold lu England. It lost favor and gradual ly deteriorated until it is now practi cally extinct. The average English man neither appreciates nor under stands it. A famous poet irreverently once compared its notes to"the shrill screech of a lame goose caught In corn," w1..1e another heretic writer lik ens its sound to a "horrible, noisy, mad Irishman" or to the cries of the "eter nally tormented." To the Irish people it appeals more strongly. They still possess in a degree the feeling of at tachment to the bagpipe which Is so general among Scotsmen. But it is undoubtedly more closely associated with Scotland, both In the highlands and lowlands, than with auy other country, the particular instrument in use being the great highland bagpipe, which, as already explained, consists of three drones, including the big drone, which was added about the be ginning of tli<' last century. It Is this type which has gradually superseded the lowland pipe. There is no doubt that the bagpipe was in use in Scot land from a very early period, and It is In Scotland that it has been brought to the highest degree of perfection. Its music distinctly connects It with Scot land, as is clear in the pibroch, the strathspey, the reel, the march and other popular melodies. There are proofs that the instrument was eultl vated lu Scotland certainly in the twelfth century and of its universal popularity as early as the fifteenth ecu tury, while In the seventeenth century nearly every town in the highlands and lowlands boasted of its piper London Globe. to Appetiru nee*.

ThlS Signature, THE SL-IME ON FISHES. loniniiin to <ll Sltwio* «»<• Ennentinl to Their KsiNtrncf, A ti ;h Just taken from the water, If handled, i.s found to be slippery and coated with slime. All fishes, the meanest and the noblest, killitisli and c shark, shad, salmon and trout, wear this siime. They could not exist with out it. The slime is secreted usually in a continuous M ries of ducts, v. itli numer ous openings arranged in a line extend ing along the side of the fish. Some tishes have one line on a side, some have live or six. The lines may be ' plainly visible, and in some <•;'ses ap pear to be a marking on li e fish. More 1 often they are not obs. ■ ■ at all. ' Some fislte; store this seen.' , i i:i pores | distributed over tin; while surface of t the b i ly, the larger number, however, : in ports In lateral lines. There are 1 also pores for the secretion of mucus, i or slime, in the lish's head. 1 The slime is exu.it d through the di- '' visions between the scales to the outer part of the b >tly, over which it spreads, ' forming a sort of outer skin or cover- ! : in r . t asparent and having elasticity ; and I'-ii.'■ it.v and often considerable i body.

The old Talinudists had a queer leg end concerning the first pair created by the Almighty. According to the story, I.iiith was Adam's original "help meet" and Eve was the after considera tion. The Talmud says that I.iiith was created Just as Adam was—out of the dust of the earth. Soon after the breath of life had been breathed into her ears (you will remember that the Bible says "nostrils" jn Adam's case) her entire nature changed to such an i extent that she became a veritable de mon. About this time the devil came ■ along, and, recognizing in Adam's wife all that was necessary to make a first ! class govern* sof the infernal regions, | | persuade 1 her to quit the first man and ! • go with him into the "upper regions of 1 the air." To us this seems like a queer . place for the location of hell, but that is the direction the pair is said to have taken when they left Adam as th® sole occupant of the garden. At home with i the king of the sulphurous domain, she i became the mother of devils and then deserted Pluto and became a "specter of darkness." After this transformation her sole de • | light appears to have been In the de ' struct ion of innocent babes. It Is even i said that our word "lullaby" Is a cor i ruption of the oriental term, "lilla abi," which means "avaunt," or "begone, I.iiith."
