O holy, happy Harvest-Days, Sweet chroniclers of smile and tear, Of light and shadow, pain and toil, Earth's heart bears through the cir cling year Like ye some rich and ripened sheaves, Some fruit of deed I fain would show, Perfected by life's smiles and tears, And beant iful in joy and woe! —lZitella Cocke, in Youth's Companion. RENIE'S ROMANCE. Renio Normnnd opened my studio door the other afternoon and received the hearty welcome he had a right to expect. We clasped hands, and after exchanging exclamations of greeting and surprise, peered eumostly into euch other's eyes. For it was ten years or more since we had last met; and we had changed in those ten years; so we looked curiously into each other's faces. Ten years and more was stamped upon us since lust we met, but still we stood well on our feet j and our hands clasped firmly. Hut how , handsome Koine hud grown? He always J was handsome, but this, his mature man- j ly beauty, was wonderful. llis dark ' once-laughing eyes now hud a subdued > sadness in their expression, his mouth was firmer, and bis curls, that had once | been so blue-black, were strongly mixed j with gray. "You can rest," I said to Pauline, the , model, who was staring at us, wondering , at our silence after the first greetings. j I had many questions to askßenie, and many to answer about those past years, | and I put down my puletto and we begun j our cross-questioning. How odd it is to ! greet a friend you have not seen for | years! a friend you have eared for, been intimate with, and who suddenly dropped out of your life long ago. You stand , | face to face with him again, hold his I • hand and hear the old familiar voice; and j 1 there is the same freedom and familiarity in manner now as before, and yet be tweeu you is an invisible space ot yours, a tremendous void that cau never be filled. Wo talked—hardly that, wo asked question for question, scarcely waiting for the answer, for still wo understood each other with half a word. Wo had known something of each other's lives not much —from paragraphs in newspa pers, had exchanged Now Year's cards— not much more; and that was very little considering how intimate we had once been in the Latin Quarter and afterwards in the long summer time at Fontaine bleau. And us wo talked Paulino lay curled up in the corner amongst the cush ions listening; no one minds a model listening. "So you have been a professor all these years at Bordeaux; but you camo to Paris sometimes?" "Yes, once or twice a year." "And you never came to see me!" "What was the use of ringing your bell in summer?" "That's true." "Or in winter; twice T tried to find you when I camo up at New Year's and j you had followed the sun south." "I am afruid lam rather unsettled." | "1 remember when you were settled j you were always talking of going some- ' where. But lam coming to Paris next year. I expect to have a professorship here soon, and then I shall dispute you oftener. But tell me who will be there of the old set?" "The old set —not many," I replied, shaking my bead." "Where are the Grands," Renio con tinued, "who used to live on the Avenue j de lu Grand Armee?" "Oh they? They—went hack to Eng land years ago." "I am sorry; I shall miss them. What strange, delightful evenings—nights I \ should say —we used to have there, and what a strange crowd it was! Do you know I always enjoyed those long walks I home in the gray morning light, long, j long past midnight, when no sound was j hoard on the streets hut the distant mar ket wagons, the Alsatian peasant sweep- j iug, and the early twittering bird—" "And do you remember," I interrupted, ' "the supper that night at Madame Sav ago's, the night of the snow-storm, when , the coachmen, not our's, send in word , they could not wait longer, and Muduine invited them to supper?" "And what has become of Madame— ! Madame—" Kcnio hesitated trying to remember her name, "who was Miss Kcndle?" "She's dead." "Dead?" All the light suddenly went out of Koiiio's eyes that stared wildly at me. "Dead," he repeated, and then trying to pull himself together, asked, "What did she die of?" "Ennui," 1 answered. "It's awfully hot here," exclaimed Pauline, who, with a woman's tact and wisdom, had thrown the window wide open. "Aro you sure she is dead?" llenie asked. Sure! How could I declare I was sure to a man who looked at me as Renie did at that moment? No," 1 answered, "I am not sure. 1 thought I heard of her death several years ago, but 1 may be wrmiff. I'll write and find out." "Thank you, if you will. I hoped to see her uguin some day. She wus a de lightful woman!" "A delightful woman!" I repeated. How was it I had, for a moment, forgot ten he had been fond of her? We had talked of Barhison, and the way he said "Harbison," with a tender note in hit voice, should have made me remember hut I did not. For it was at Harbison they first met, Her family had her rd the praises of Har bison on the edge of Fontainchleuii forest from the painters, and came dowi; for a few days. They arrived nftei dark, woro shown to their lodging? through a farmyard and woro horrificc with the entrance to their quarters. Bui what could be dono? It was late, Paris wat many miles away, they must sleep some where, and so they stayed tliut night j ant next morning, when they awoke, the family were surprised to find they had slept well, that the beds were comfortable, and, although the chambers , were not luxurious, they were very clean. The sun was shining; they would stay one duy, as they had come so far, and all that duy they wandered in the forest and —it's the old story —they stayed all sum mer. There Rene met Miss Helen and all that long summer they played cro quet, explored the forest and sang songs together, songs longsince out of fashion. Rene was not a painter, although a friend of inuny painters, but a student of phil osophy. 11c hud a pile of hooks with him, and read at times, but it was his vacation, and his studies never interfered with Miss Helen's plans or prevented liim from being always in attendance at any picnic, tea or forest ramble. One evening we went into the forest, a merry pack of us starting early together und returning late in pairs; and when we returned one couple was missing, Miss Kendle and Rene. Mrs. Kendle was very anxious, fearing her daughter had been lost und would bo de voured by*lhe wild beasts. We tried to console her, telling her that probably Kenie would see her safely home, and that the wild beasts of Fontainebleau were mostly rabbits and deer. But Mrs. Kendle refused to be comforted and so u relief expedition was organized. There were plenty of volunteers, and as the night was lovely many volunteered in couples. Hunting horns und a drum were carried to wuko the forest echoes, and torches to see the "babes in the woods" when found. The party did not go far; they had not started oft with serious in tent —only to pacify the mother, and contented themselves by exploring the "brigands' cave," where some were al most smothered by the smoke of the torches, and cumo back singing in chorus, almost forgetting why the torch light procession had been organized. As the returning explorers neared tho vil lage, the lights of their torches fell upon a couple sitting on the bench just inside , the forest gate. ', "Hallo!" oxclaimed Lcon, suddenly > changing the note of tho solo lie was f singing. i I "Hullo, yourself!" answered Renie, „ "you are muking a great deal of noise." „ "But how did you get here?" usked c . Lean. I "Easy enough—round the other way." t I Leon began it, and we ull burst into T | a laughing chorus. f "What is the joke?" asked Renie. \ | "Joke! Suppose you and Miss Kendle f fall into line with us and we will ex- a ! plain." „ | And the march continued, horns blow- r i ing, drums heating, and all shouting ut f the top of our voices; and so the sue- j I cessful rescuing party returned with the \ j lost one. 'j ! It was about Christmas when tho Ken- | dies gave a grand dinner. Renie sat on a the left of Miss Helen and a stranger, a „ young inan whose looks I scarcely re- j member, sut on her right. Of course Renie monopolized Miss Kendle. The (l young stranger tried to join in the con- v versution, but was not successful. I cannot say Renie was rude to the man, J he did not seem even to recognize his existence. "Don't you think it is outrageous?" whispered Miss Tipman, my neighbor. "What?" I asked. "Don't you know?—of course you do —everybody does except him—" "Him?" At that moment Mrs. Kendle gave the , signal for leaving the table, and my , question was left unanswered. Wo were allowed to smoke in the drawing-room at the Kendles' so we followed the ladies. Miss Tipman captured Renie and in sisted on his looking over the family photograph ulbuin with her. He did it politely, hut his uttention and eyes < would wander across the room where Miss Kcndle was talking with the stranger. But Miss Tipman kept him t at the album. What was she about? 1 | wondered; surely, not trying to fascin ute Renie; she must well know any at- J tempts of that kind would be wasted. ! Besides, Miss Tipman was not a flirt; : I she was one of those—yes, 1 must say it ! | —uncomfortable women to have about. I One of those women who are always try ing to "do their duty." What was Bhe |up to now? Talking loud enough for any one near to hoar, so there was no , indiscretion in my listening. "There, do you know her?" "Yes," answered Renie, turning over ! the page, anxious to finish the book. ] "And do you know him?" "No." Again lie would turn the page, 1 but Miss Tipman put her hand upon i his. "But don't you recognize that picture?" ' she insisted. I "Well, yes; it is of the man who sat 1 next to Miss Kendle. 1 was introduced, | but forgot his name." 1"But don't you know who ho is?" "No, and what is more " "Don't you know he is engaged to Miss I Kendle?" j This time Renie turned the page with out any hindrance from his neighbor, lie closed the book, roso and laid it on | the table, turned, and without a word to ' anyone left the room. Miss Tipman and i I looked at each other for a few moments in silence. I felt as if I must say some | thing. If she bad been a man I should have told him he was a first-class fool. As it was, I simply remarked, "You've 1 done it!" j "I thought it was right," she answered, compressing her lips disagreeably. I Renie went home and had a brain fever, and Miss Helen Kendle married the other j man. Why had I not remembered nil this when my old friend asked about mudame, who was Miss Kendle? What right hail I now, after my brutal manner of announcing Miss Kendle's death, to | criticise Miss Tipman? I Renie did not make me a long visit, but at the door 1 again promised to find ' out "if it wus really true." : J "She wus a charming woman," he said, i as we shook hands; and for the second I - time I repented, "A charming woman!" i "And he has never married?" asked K Pauline when I closed the door. "No." , "And was she handsome?" d, I hesitated, but why should I not tell t the truth to Pauline? "No." "And was the other us handsome us o Monsieur?" !- "Oh, no; nothing like!" "Hut he was the richest?" 1. "Yes, I suppose ho was." t- 1 well knew Henie had only a modest d ; patrimony, while "the other" had houses id j and lands and a "big business." is j For a while 1 worked in silence, Paul r, ' ilie's eyes were very bright, with a sua | picion of tears. 1 knew her thoughts t. had wandered from Renio to her soldier r- j lad and the baker's shop that was to be •u : opened on his return, where behind the a counter Pauline was to reign supreme, ■r | At Just Pauline's thoughts returned to rs Renie, for she said with an accent of eon ■d | vietion in her voice, "How could she have it done it? I don't understand," thus un- IH 1 consciously echoing what "the old set" e- ; had exclaimed many years ago. id j I wrote to a friend us I had promised, and received the reply expected— "Madame , who was Miss Helen Kendle, died several years ago." This note 1 enclosed to Renie and he sends me a curd in acknowledgment On it he has written—"Thanks, my friend, for your note. lam sure those who die do not suffer the most."

Cloak manufacturers ure complaining of the great scarcity of desirable models. There was a time, they say, when an ad vertisement for u model or figure, as they are called in the business, would bring forth a flood of replies. This is the busiest season of the year, and many new models are required to "try on" in the work and sales rooms. There are thousands of young women in this city who imugino themselves physically cut out to become a cloak model, but they are far from it. The public knows very little concerning the requirements for a figure. The fact that they are paid from $lO to $lB per week for compara tively easy work is a sure indication that thev are not to be had in great numbers. It doesn't require any experience to he a model. One must bo graceful and have fine physical proportions. Hood looks don't count, either, though u showroom figure must have some attractions and dress much better than an unknown model. Manufacturers as a rule require a woman of about 5 feet, inches in height. She seldom goes under that, but sometimes half an inch more is desirable. Misses' figures go according to age and in very few cases become good women models. The professional figure bus a natural grace about her that cannot be acquired by artificial means. Any young woman who has the height mentioned above, a bust measurement of 36 inches, waist 24 inches, length of back from lGi to 17 inches, arms 24 inches, neck 12i inches, hips 42 inches and 13£ inches across the shoulders, is a perfect figure and can find steady employment in any cloak house, at any time if she chooses. Junuury, February, July and August are the busiest months in the clonk busi ness. During the first two months out of-town buyers flock here in great num bers to purchase goods for the spring and summer trudo. The last two months are used for laying in a supply of fall and winter wraps and suits. The show room figures geneiully have a contract for all the year around and aro paid in full for the sumo, but they seldom have to do much outside those four months. The work-room figures are always kept busy. They are the hardest worked of any in the establishment. The sample model must be the most perfect. She, too, is compelled to toil the year around. Manufacturers would not to have pay for other than actual working time if there were not a dearth in models. The big gest cloak house in this city employs fifteen figures. The "tryingon" to show to customers is done by either au exam iner or the lady assistants. "A model must not bo too attractive," ' said a muiiufucturer. "A beautiful face draws too much attention when a person is buying and results in a neglect of proper inspection of the article displayed. What is required is to show the stock to its best advantage without drawing un necessary uttention to the model."—[New York World. The Skull Made Advances. A physician tells the following story: "At one time when I was a medical student my cluss had been for several days studying the bones of the head. To aid in this a number of human skulls had been brought into the lecture room. After we were through with them they were thrown in a heap into one corner. " One night I chanced to be left ulone in the room. Finding it quiet and plea sant in the half light, 1 sat down to smoko a cigar. Immediately facing me wus the pile of skulls. They presented u very uncanny appearance us the light from a dim gas burner played over them, making them seem almost alive with a certain play of expression. One particularly big fellow, lying right on top of the pile, ap peared actually to wink at me from its lidless eye sockets, while the teeth in the gaping mouth grinned horribly. Amused, I winked buck and offered my cigar, when suddenly there was a slight noise and the skull inclined slightly forward as if bowing acceptance. There was no mistake about it. It moved, not only once, but twice. 44 1 dropped my cigar and sat up straight in iny chair, my eye fixed 011 the grewsome thing. There was another louder noise and a stronger movement of the skull, when down it came crashing to the floor and hounded to my very feet. In an instant I was on the table near by gazing upon the strange thing and ready | for precipitate flight. 44 Then the skull gave a violent shuke j and turned over and out jumped a big rat, which scampered across the floor and into hiding."-—[Philadelphia Times. Bleeding ut the Nose, Bleeding from the nose may arise from an impoverished state of the blood. When it occurs in persons of middle age it is more serious, us it is then often a symptom of some other disease. The | bleeding can generally bo stopped by making the patient raise both arms above his head und hold theui there some time. Sponging with cold or iced water to the forehead and face, and applying a towel wet with cold water between the shoul ders will, in some cases, succeed. The application of a strong solution of alum to the inside of the nostrils, or plugging the nostrils with lint or cotton wool soaked in the solution, may be necessary if the bleeding is profuse. The health of the person subjected to the attacks should be improved by nutritious diet —* animal food, with potatoes, green salads, and fruit.

The cost of common tea is about three cents per pound. The cost of munufuc ture, export duty, packing, etc., about double the price; so that the cost on hourd ship amounts to about five and a-half cents per pound. About three hundred pounds or four hundred pounds of brick tea go to a " basket," made of light bamboo. Two baskets form a camel-load. Brick tea is in bulk about one-sixth of ordinary tea. In Mongolia, where the nomad population of herds men have little use for money, their tents, clothing, food and temples being supplied by their flocks, brick tea forms a standard of value and a convenient medium of exchunge, as it is in universal demand for food. A brick or half a ' brick of tea is placed in a copper vessel and boiled up with mutton fat and but ter, and the food is euton hot in a liquid condition. Lately a new commodity lias come on the Ilunkow market, to which the customs give the name of log tea. It is an inferior tea, with stalks, packed in the shupe of logs, which weigh from eight pounds to eighty pounds each log. The tea is wrapped in the leaves of the Bambusa latif'olia , and then reduced in bulk by binding round the log with lengths of split bamboo. This log tea is sent to the Chinese ports for consump tion, und is packed thus from motives of economy, both of packing and of freight. —[The Ledger. Science at Sea.
