My mother-in-law had not the least idea ' who I was. I had cheerfully intended to take her by surprise; but now that the eventful moment bad arrived, my courage, like that of Bob Acres, as Jeiferson shows him, was cozing out at the ends of my fingers. My name is Richard Dalton. I was {hen just twenty-one, with a face that was not absolutely ugly, a sublime audacity antl pockets not particularly well:lined, and I had just distinguished myself by rugning away with a pretty girl from boarding school. «But, Dick,” she had remonustrated, 4swe've nothing to live on.” “:Don’t be a goose, darling,’ had been my reply. ‘What do people need to live on? ~All the wants of this world, nore or less, are factitions. = A crust of © bread and a glass of water three times a diy, and now and then a suit of clothes — we must be poor, indeed, if we can’t manage to compass that.” Nettie had looked admiringly upon me, and acquiesced in my argument. We had taken board at the Angel Hill Hotel, and began our honeymoon royally. At the end of a month, mine host had Decome a little importunate on the sub- ject of his bill, and Nettie’s mother had written a letter to her, signifying that sbe wanted nothing whatever to'do with us. We had made our own bed, she sicnified, and now we might lie on it. +»Oh, Dick,” cried Nettie,clasping her Lands, “What are we to do?” _ ‘“Hanged if I know?” was my rather blank response. ‘‘But don’t cry, dar- din, TIL go and see her myself.” You, Dick!” “1, myself.” “«She’ll have nothing to say to you.” +She can't help herself.” _ %She'll turn you ont of doors.” «We'll see about that.” «But, Dick, you don’t know--you can't have any idea—how terrible she is,” sighed Nettie. Finiy “48aint George conquered the dragon, my love,” 1 asserted, cheerfully, ‘and I mean to conquer your mother! So pack my valise, there's a’ darling, and I'll be off before the landlord comes back from Boston!” «But Dick, if he's trondlesome, what can I say to him?” appealed poor little frightened Nettie. : “Tell him I've gone out of town, and shall be back in a few days," said I,con- fidentially. Bnt, valiantly as Tspoke, my ‘mental sensations by no. means corresponded with tiais bold part. I was beginning dimly to realize what a very unwise step I had taken, and also persuaded poor ! Nettie to take. And I was secretly mak- ing up my mind that if Nettie's mother refused to receive us, I would ship my- geld off as second . mate or third purser, or something of that sort, ‘send my advance wages to my poor little | ‘wite,and commence the world over again in this irregnlar fashion. But when; I walked resolutely up to my mother-in-law’s door,she greeted ‘me a if I had been expected for the last week or so. : “You've come, have you?’ was the salutation, : ¢ Well, yes,” 1 admitted, “I've come.” «What on earth detained yout” said she. gu In my mind Icast about what to say, and settled down on the first convenient excuse that came into my head.” "4¢The train was delayed at Bogle- 2 said I at ell, come ‘in, now that you're said she, *‘and get warm.

She seemed pleased with my willingness to undertake anything and everything. «And now about wages,” said she, briskly. “What will you ask—for your own services and those of your wife— by the month" : : I fitted ithe tips of my fingers reflec- tively together. : ¢#As we are both rather inexperi- enced,” said I, “we'll agree to work the first month for our board.

Well, send meantime I'llshow you over the place, and explain to you the nature of your duties.” i, So I hired myself outto my mother- in-law as farm hand without further zere- mony, and immediataly wrote and posted the postoffice I met a burly young man meditating at a spot where four roads meet. ! ‘Can you tell me, sir,” said he, ttwhere Mrs, Abel Martin lives?’ “Qh yes, sir; I can tell you,” I re- spended, affably. <‘But if you're look- ing for the situation of hired man I may as well tell you thatit’s filled.” The burly young man made some re- marks, indicative in a general way of his opinion of the fickleness of womankind apd departed, whilst 1 returned rejoic- ing, to the old farmhouse. : «Here's a very nice beginning,” said I to myself. ¢Itis now my business to give as much satisfaction as possible.” Fortune favored me, in more ways than one. My mether-in-law sprained her ankle on the second day, and I played cook as well as man-of-all-work with distinguished success, and I had the satisfaction of hearing her say to old Miss Priscslla Perkins that *‘she didn’t know when she'd taken such a notion to anyone as she had to the new hired man!” ‘He's too young and good-looking to suit me,” observed Miss Priscilla purs- ing up her steel-trap of a mouth. “tHe is good-looking, ain't he?” said handy ‘about the house, and he ain't one bit atraid of work.

Messenger. Mine Hero Meern. One of the most remarkable acts of bravery ever shown in a mine or any- where else’ was that ot H. P. Meern at the Alleghany mine, thirteen miles from Cumberland, Md., August 31, 1889, On that day forty-five men went down into the mines to their work as usual. Everything went well for a few hours, but suddenly a thin wall which separated the Alleghany from an old mine, long disused and full of water, collapsed. The flood rushed into the passages of the Alleghany with a great roar that told those above its level what had happened. It was ascertained that there was a possibility that the miners had climbed to places of safety and es- caped the flood, but hour after passed and no tidings came from them to the frantic crowd = of relatives and friends above. No one could suggest 4 way of reaching the entombed men until H. P. Meern volunteered to. find them or die. Many protested against his decision, bub he insisted. upon being lowered into the mine. : wa At the bottom of the shaft the water was a8 high as his neck; but, undaunted, he struck out, swimming toward the place where he knew the miners were. The water was full of debris. Once’ or twice the lonely swimmer came suddenly the darkness, and his fingers, a8 he bravely struck out, constantly felt the wriggling, slimy bodies of mine rats in the water. But he never faltered. Af last he reached the chamber where the miners had been at work, and. found pearched on ledges projecting from the side of the mine. Their lamps had gone ‘out and they were hoplessly Waiting for death, } : ag In the excitement which followed Mr. Meern’s arrival a boy fell from his perch til he found him, placed him on his shoulders, and shouted to ‘the men to foilow him, started back toward the bot- swim werd helped by those who could, on the floating body of a dead mule in them—every one alive.

One of the rooms in his beantiful home at Suresnes has been fitted up as a small theatre, with .a tiny stage, and: there Mesdames Favart and Croizette, and others of the great actresses of France, bave come to go through before him the new roles that they were about to create, so that he might design for them dresses suited to the attitudes and the gestures required, by the characters they were fo imperson- ate.

As little turpentine = as possible should be employed when its use seems advisable, and it is necessary. to be careful that the cleaned blankets are thoroughly dry before they are used ‘again. This is a very important point, as otherwise the surface of the rubber = would be softened and the impression of the cylinder would spoil the blanket by cracking or corrugating the surface. The best way is to clean the blankets an the evening, after the day’s work is over; this will allow plenty of time for § drying of the turpentine and the return of the blankets to their natural eon- dition, which would not be the caseit the cleaning were done during the day, = when the blankets may be required any = amoment, ; ; pi As a very effective substitute for tur- pentine, spirits of hartshorn is highly recommended, It cleans more quickly “and thoroughly, and offers less dang of spoiling the blankets.

After cleaning the blankets they should - be dried with the useof pulverized mag- nesia or chalk.
