THE WORLD-MENDER. A man who loves God with that holy zeal Which works for human weal: A man who knows himself God's instrument J-or faithful and eternal service meant, And feels in all good wrought Tho moving tire and pulse of his own thought, He sees the glory shining from afar— A Bethlehem star, Toward which he presses with unfaltering feet. Heedless of lions roaring in the street. And men that, scornful, shout— "Fool, fool, thy jack-o'-lantern goeth out!" Unshaken ever ho pursues his light, By faith more sure than sight. Believing, while he walks the dusty way— Himself a herald of tho promised day— That Truth, at last, shall reign Triumphant, though her advocates lie slaia —A. L. Muzzey, in Arena fi( with which he Iff had been draw ittg the plan of a many-storied apartment-house and snatched the envelope. A moment later he dropped it as if it had stung him, for his own writing stared up at him. The passionate letter he had written was returned to him with the seal unbroken. "Well, this latest hint should be Ruilieicnt," he said, bitterly, to him self. "Only an idiot or a scoundrel would persecute a girl with attentions after such an intimation." He was not generally an idle fellow. His fellow-clerks felt frequently re buked by his determined industry. Rut now he sat a long time with his hands, gripping tho arms of his chair, and his gaze fixed blankly on the opposite, wall. He thought it all over; his love story was not a long one. Three months previous ho hail met Vivien Van Roosevelt at the home of his cousin. He had straightway fallen headlong in love with the girl—with her stately dark beauty, her gentle manner, her delicious sense of humor, her voice, that was so mellowly fas cinating. And he never once reminded himself—alter the absurd fashion of men in love—that he was only an arch itect's clerk, aud she "a lady of honor and wealth." Of this fact the little blind god seemed also oblivious, or to it indiffer ent For when Gilbert had said, boldly and yet tremblingly: "I loveyou, dear!" she lifted to his sweet eyes that were dim hut illumined. And she had pledged him her heurt, hand, and womanly fealty. Rut when he urged speaking to her guardian, she hud tremulously pro tected: "lie is a hard man, Wayne. lam not quite of age yet Anthony Van Roosevelt has other plans for inc. 1 must not at once let hi in know they can never be realized." So they had continued to meet at the house of Mrs. French, Gilbert's cousin, until ten days ago. Then Vivien*had failed to keep her appointment. She ignored the gifts he sent her, the flow ers, and books, anil matinee tickets. He dared not go to the house himself, after her express command to the con trary. He asked Mrs. French to do so. She came back, saying the message given to her was that Miss Villi Roose velt was engaged. "It appeared to me, Wayne," his cousin commented, in repeating the in cident, "that Vivien had merely prof fered an excuse for the sake of politely dropping our acquaintance." He could not bear to bear another voice the diead that confronted hi in. "She would never be guilty of such rudeness, Emily," he declared, and took himself away. He wrote to her once, twice, a third time. To the first two letters no reply was returned. The third was sent back unopened. Well, the brief romance was ended now. When Wayne was ready to leave the office, he went to the door of the pri vate office find knocked. "Come in," called a deep voice. Mr. Mason, the senior member of the firm, glanced up pleasantly at the young man, whom personally he liked, and professionally was fast learning to respect. "1 wish to tender ray resignation, Mr. Mason—l aiu going away." "To leave the city?" "Yes, sir." "I am sorry to hear this. Is there any reason in the office for your resolu tion?" "None, sir. My relations with all here have been very pleasant. The motive that influences me is purely per sonal." "When do you wish your resignation to take effect?" "As soon as you lind it convenient." Ten minutes later he was walking, moody and dispirited, through the city streets. Only those who found it necessary to do so would venture abroad that evening, one fancied. The heavy snow of a few days previous had turned to slush, and this severe and sudden cold had transformed to rough, slippery ice. An easterly wind, filled with particles of a fine, stinging sleet, was blowing. The day had darkened down, and street-lamps were gleaming out points of gold in the gloom when Wayne Gil bert found himself before the palatial home of Anthony Van Roosevelt. The lower floor was brightly lighted. One blind that remained undrawn permit ted the watcher to see into the dining room. A servant was moving around placing the dinner on the table which was snowily covered and sparkling with cut-glass and silver. "It is no wonder," said tlie man on the sidewalk, to himself, looking in with hot, angry eyes, "that she, accus tomed to such luxury, repented her j rash promise to me.*' i lie waited on, longing to see her en ter the room, even if the sight set his heart aching more sharply. The door opened. An old gentleman, Anthony Van Roosevelt, entered. Then followed a man small of stature, weazened of feature, prematurely old. Undoubtedly he was the son of the master of the house, of whom he had heard Vivien speak. Rut, although Gilbert waited, weary, haggard and half frozen, until the two men had finished their meal, Vivien did not appear. He had given up his absurd hope, and was turning away, with a groan, when the hall door opened and Oscar Van Roosevelt came out. Wayne walked on—he was on the opposite pavement. Suddenly he heard a fall, a curse. He ran across the street. The young man who had just emerged from Van Roose velt's was prone on his back. "Let me assist you," Gilbert said. He took the other by the arm, lifted him as he would have lifted a child. At the seme instant he noticed that several letters which the unlucky pedestrian had been carrying lay scat tered on the sidewalk. He picked them up with the intention of restoring them, lie handed back four. The fifth he re tained, for the light from a lamp on the corner showed him that it was ad dressed to him, in a pretty English hand: "MR. WAYNE GILBERT." His mind one queer blur and confu sion, conscious only that the letter be longed to him and that possibly there was treachery afloat, he slipped the en velope into his pocket With a mut tered word of thanks, young Vau Roosevelt took the letters extended, brushed the sleeve of his coat and hurried away, walking, however, with more caution. Under the street lamp Gilbert opened his envelope. He read: 'This Is tho lust let tor, dear Wayne, that I shall write to you. I cannot understand why it Is I have received no word or message from you since my illness 1 his is my third noto. Tho others I gavo tho housekeeper to post Per haps she blundered. This I shall intrust to my cousin, Oscar Van Itoosevelt If Ido not hear from you In answer, I will conclude that wo have said fa. ewcll. "VIVIEN VAN ROOSEVELT." Gilbert walked straight back to the house he had lately been staring at, went up the steps and rang the bell. "I wish to see Miss Van Roosevelt," he said to the servant who appeared. -"Your nuine, please?" lie heard, distinctly, a soft voice in a room on the right, saying: "Who—who is that. Uncle Anthony?" Then the door was abruptly closed. "Gilbert," the caller said to the serv ant. "Mr. Wayr.e Gilbert" "Miss Van Roosevelt," the girl said, hastily, "is not at home." "That," declared Gilbert, in his quietest tone, "is not true " lie pushed past the girl, walked to the door on the right, opened it, and weut in. Anthony Van Roosevelt straightened up in his chair at sight of the intruder, and a slender, girlsh (igure, lounging among silken pillows on a low couch, started erect, and held her hands out to him with a little cry. Then he was standing beside her, the thin hands held tightly in his. "I only this hour got your last let ter," he said. "It fell from the pocket of a man who had just left this house. WAYNE QILBKKT WALKED IN. It is dated four days ago. I have writ ten you repeatedly." I have sent you messages and gifts." Vivien looked at hei guardian. She was us white as her gown. She rose, steadily. "1 understand," she said, quietly. "Your insistence that I should marry your son is now explained. You and he have been in league against me. and agMnst my lover. Even the serv ants you have bribed to treachery. My heavens! how nearly you suc ceeded!" The old man hung his bead. In face of all the evidence that could be adduced, he knew denial would be The girl rang the bell. "Order the carriage," she said to the servant "Tell Rosette to pack my clothes and jewelry at once, then to bring my wraps to me here." Then she turned to Wayne. "I am strong enough to leave the house now; but 1 have been very 111. I shall go to the home of my aunt" "Until you will come to yotr own, darling," he whispered. Two months later she became of age, and her large fortune was at her dis posal. Her guardian and his scheming son glowered over the paper in which they read the notice of her marriage. Rut at that very time Mr. and Mrs. Wayne Gilbert, speeding south on their wedding trip to the land of the magno lia and olive, were laughing over the occurrence which led to their reunion. "That fall of your cousin's was a for tunate one," averred Gilbert "Fortunate?" echoed his prettj bride. He gave a gay, positive nod. "Yes—for me."—N. Y. Weekly. —Jinks—"Waite is a prince of good fellows." Filkins— "Most people don't regard him as such." Jinks—"That's true; but princes seldom get there by oopular suffrage, you know."—Kate Field's Washington. 1 HOUSEKEEPERS' CORNER. ' To SCALE fish easily, dip them in boil ! ing water.

IN baking bread or rolls, put a sauce pan of boiling water into the oven. The steam will keep the crust smooth and tender.

ROILINO liquids, jellies or fruits may be turned into glass, without break ing the vessel, if you press the bowl of a spoon on the bottom while tilling. FOR starching muslins, ginghams and calicoes, dissolve a piece of alum the size of a hickory nut for every pint of starch. This will keep the colors bright for a long time. IviD gloves may he cleaned, when slightly soiled, with a small piece of oiled silk wound tightly about the linger, and rubbed vigorously over tho surface of the glove.

A SNOWDROP TREE. How to Iflake u Novel Mid Pretty Decora tion for the Table. Ry means of the following device you can make a very pretty and novel decoration for the table. Incline a wax candle over a glass of water. As each drop of melted wax falls into the water it instantly takes the form of a white cup, somewhat resembling the flower of the snowdrop. These cups you can vary in size according to the inclination of the candle. Now take u ' r V b 1 m Vfeasti. — ztfj Ml JM .X - lIOW TO MAKE A SNOWDROP TREE. piece of fine wire and slightly curve it at one end. Heat the straight end of the wire and pierce the center of the wax flower while it is in the water. Having made a hole through the flower push it to the curved end. Prepare a dozen wires in the same way and then join them together in the manner shown in our illustration. You will now have a beautiful tree of wax flowers, which will make a pretty and 'infective ornament. Curds Mid ('roam, Without Wine. Into a quart of new milk, warm from the cow (or heated to the same point afterward), stir two tablespoon fills of extract of rennet. You can buy a bot tle in any drug store for twenty-five cents. Stir well, pour into a glass dish, and leave in a warm place for half an hour, then grate nutmeg over the top, and set in a cold place till wanted. With it serve a jug of plain cream, and a little maple sugar, scraped down with a knife, and piled in a pret ty little fancy dish or saucer. This is instead of the sherry and sugar gener ally stirred into the cream. Too sim ple, is it? Just try it, and see that your dessert will take five minutes to malce, and will cost you about ten cents, unless you like it so well that you have to make double quantity next time.—Mrs. E. M. Jones, in Country 'jcntleman. Color* and Complexions. Every woman who is ambitious to look her best should have a list for pri vate consultation of trying colors. Each complexion has its best and its worst possibilities. Most per;ons can wear dark blue or green, for instance, but very few can wear dark red. It is wise to accept one's limitations and dress within them. If peacock blue is unbecoming—and it usually is—why should we make guys of ourselves by donning it? If white is our kindest ally, why not choose white whenever 't is possible to have it? Ilent White MOIHRRCS Candy. One pound granulated sugar, one pint sirup; boil till quite thick when dropped in cold water; then add one pint best Porto Rico molasses and three or four tablespoonfuls of vinegar. Boil to a snap, Remove from the fire and stir in quickly one-half teaspoou ful of soda and flavor with essence of lemon. Pour on the slab and work white. This makes a better candy than that usually sold by confection ers. Good candy can be made in this, way by using all Porto Rico and na antrar. ••GRANNY'S POCKET." Thai Is the Nam? of the Novelty V.urk* bag HO Popular Just Now. I "Granny's pocket," as it is called, is being carried by all workers in needle craft, whether their vocation is the darning- of socks or the weaving of ! silken spider webs upon lustrous bits i of satin or bloomy velvets. The idea of this cleverly devised work bag is borrowed from a Parisian bonbon bag which was presented, with a cargo of toothsome dainties, to some fair one, who, after she had rilled the pretty trifle of its sugary contents, was supposed to wear it at her side as u receptacle for sewing materials. Since the granny pocket has, made its debut upon this side of the water, however, its duties have been slightly altered. In selecting this novelty as a gift, the donor fits it out with needles, a gem of a thimble, the finest as well as the tiniest of scisssors, along with many more sewing necessities; and so the granny pocket, minus chocolates and conserves, becomes altogether a sewing pocket. It is sometimes a decided piece of luxury, made of blossom strewn satin, with silky lining, lacey cascades nnd fluttering ribbons, but for those who are seeking prettiness and practicality at a low price, chintz, sateen or one of the gayly plaided ginghams is selected, as it makes up very effectively. The cut of the granny pocket is very similar to that of a bib apron. The lower part of'the bag is given a slight A) j) Q v J (e/'/'Vf ri M stiffening of cardboard; it is gathered in with drawstrings near the top, like any ordinary bag. and the upper part has the bib form. Flutings of ribbon or the material garnish the edges and bib-part of the bag, and there arc loops of ribbon at the top, by which it is secured to the side of the wearer. Two tiny pockets attached to the front are designed to hold the needles, thimble, cotton and scissors when not in use, while the pieces of work are tucked out of sight inside. Mother finds the granny pocket a useful affair, which enables her to have her Sewing in compact form close at hand; the young lady of the house hold considers it just the daintiest stowaway for her bits of embroidery; and cvn the small girl, whose ex tensive doll family calls for countless gowns and wraps and hats, follows in the lead of mamma and big sister, and smuggles her scraps and materials into a miniature granny pocket.—Golden Gays.

Clow to Uao All Kinds of Souve nirs in Decorating. The Clever Idea of a UlJe-Awnk© South ern Helle—German Fuv.r and Other Trillin Km ployed to Good Advantage. What have the girls done with the German favors, dance programmes, menu cards and other souvenirs of last season's outing at seashore, lake side and mountain resort? The agency here concerning these trophies is from a wideawake south nrreTWHi I . r y, Li TfW IN ONE GIRL'S ROOM. orn belle and provides far better use for the mementoes of a season's tri umphs than the careless tucking away iu boxes and out-of-the-way nooks. This southern belle put together a German favor mantel in her own pri vate snuggery at a summer resort, and those who saw it began at once to treasure up like baubles until the home .ward flitting, when they were to be brought out and assigned a decorative part. This memory mantel alluded to blos somed with Old Point Comfort and White Sulphur Springs trophies. The drapery which furnished the back ground for the odd assortment was of snow flake Swiss, through which the palest of water-green silk gleamed and glistened. The drtipery arrangement was exceedingly simple, being almost foldless in order to show to the best advantage the knick-knacks. The silk lined Swiss was simply stretched from corner to corner above the white enameled mantel, and caught in the center with two of the German favors —tiny bolting-cloth parasols, gauzy as a dragon's wing, and flecked with beach jewels, in the form of Old Point moon stones. Each corner was aflutter with gayly tintcd ribbons tipped with silver bells. Fantastic clown heads, satin slippers, ivory wishbones, silver horseshoes, sweetmeat baskets, jockey caps and whips, banjos, mandolins and violins in miniature, along with a dozen other fancies, dotted the crisp white drapery. Around even the tiniest of these favors hovered pleasant memories of past cray eties, and move than one bit of senti ment was interwoven with the novel jumble. This was purely a German favor mantel. Hut the notion could be car ried out in half a dozen different direc tions. A "lucky" girl, one of those al ways stumbling over curiosities, like Mrs. Whitney's "Leslie Goldivaite," and which she wishes to handle in an original manner, can build herself a murine mantel. There would be the lovely seaweeds which she has brought home, iu offtones of green and brown for festooned corners, and pinlc-lined bits of shell work to stud the drapery. A vacation among the hills has yield ed to more than one girl very delight ful possibilities for such a mantel. Somebody in an idle hour has carved her a birch-bark canoe; some one else brought an offering of lichens and other forest treasures—baby pine cones, big cones and birds' nests; and, if she has a spice of barbarity in her nature, she has even treasured up the rattlesnake's skin as a startling eye opener. The memory mantels offer pleasant employment for a stormy winter day in disposing of the pretty souvenirs to one's boxes and drawers, and the odd decorative piece will furnish many a merry little dish of gossip for the fem inine spirits who have the entree to the favorite den. —Dorothy Maddox, in St. Louis Republic. How to Take Care ol Kings. "Don't wear your rings under gloves unless you remember to have them thoroughly examined twice a year." is the advice given by a jeweler. The constant friction wears out the tiny gold points that holds the stones in place, and unless strict attention is paid to them they become l#>se in a very short time. Small purses of suede leather ure made on purpose for rings, or any soft pouch of skin or chamois may be used to place the rings in when desiring to carry them around with one. They should never be put into : the ordinary pocketbook, as the rub bing against coins is also bad for them. Diamonds can be cleaned at home to I look as well as when done by a jeweler if only a little trouble is taken. They should be thoroughly cleaned in alcohol and then dried in boxwood sawdust. Dine sawdust is too oily for this pur pose. The Question of Age. A rather impertinent scientist has discovered that the only instances in which he finds correct dates given by women in regard to their ages is when they are under 25 or over 85. At 1 these periods of life, according to this j Frenchman, they may be trusted, lie! is a court officer, and his evidence is j deduced from Experience with female | prisoners. Such, lie asserts, invariably i give their ages as 29, 89. 40 or 59, and j on these premises he works out the 1 conclusion that a woman wants to keep in the decade behind' her actual age period, but through a lingering sense of honesty keeps as near the line as j she caji. f inn null illl K ■ iIHUH "111 111 for Infants and Children.
