WOMEN AT THIRTY-FIVE. Admitting That She KJver Gote There. That Ie Her Most (.harming Age. In reality, at 35 a woman Is still pausing at the height of her personal charm. She gained the height per haps seven or eight years before, has bad small experience of sorrow and pain and apprehension, has not had too hard work for mind or body, has bad but little illness, has kept her temper and spared herself worry, she has not fairly begun the descent; or If sne has, then there is a slightly pathetic charm about her, says Har per's ljazaar, as about the golden tarnish of a rose that drops its ilrst petal, but is still the rose. For into the beauty of 20, gradually unfolding and expanding up to 25 or 2(i, tho soul unfolding and ex panding, too, has infiltrated a new quality, one which is wanting to youth except in extraordinary in stances, and this beauty of spirit and of intellect has been added to beauty of flesh with ever-increasing power. And then just as the contours begin to yield and tho beauty of tho flesh assumes a doubtful part, when diet and exercise and massage and sleep, and the right colors, and not too much light, ail have to he carefully considered, and a veil is needed to hide the line times when in the sun— and if Petty gives "tho cheek a touch of red" and the hair a dust of gold powder It is not our affair to know of It, nor does it diminish the fascina tion she unconsciously exerts —then, if she improved the years, comes the lecond stage-the stage of a superior laptivation to that exercised by the mere llesliy beauty. It is iu the years it this period that unconsciously and unwillingly women charm men much roungcr than themselves, and always men of rather extraordinary intel lectual power, into proposals of mar riage. At this time aw iinan un derstands herself and knows how to balance and counterbalance the cir cumstances of the world about her. She has probably read many books, rhe has seen many people; if she amounts to anything worth consid ering she has tat t and skill and case cf manner, she has learned some thing of the intricacies of human na ture and of the secrets of tho heart; ihe has learned how to render not only herself but her surroundings at tractive; she is no longer exacting; she makes people near her comfortableisho puts them into conceit of themselves that inexplicably pleasant mood. And people seek her presently for the sake of being comfortable, and lor the delightful atmosphere that her presence seems to create; men admire her, women adore her, young people follow her; she is a social power; and is of more weight and consequence than any young person not upon a throne —for although she live 11 threescore and ten, her throne is upon men's hearts.

He started up \ with an air which said as plainly as though lie had spoken, "I was not asleep, ladies and gentlemen—just thinking!" and ho took a quick sur vey of the Pullman car, in whicb, af ter an absence of eighteen years, he was being whirled back to what his fellow raueliers on the great plains of Western Texas called tho ".States." Thete were only u few through pas sengers, and they did not interest hiui. The oncoming train-boy did, or at least the pile of ruddy-cheeked apples in one corner of tho basket bo carried did. "Iswow!" muttered Eben, rubbing his eyes, "Those look like tho 'sheep fold apples' that used to grow on the old farm. llow little Annie Davis and I-" He stopped very suddenly, and his bronzed face grew stern and grave. It was the lirst time that name had passed his lips in all the years of his exile. "Apples, sir?" It was the train-boy who asked tho question, for his quick eye had seen whither tho burly passenger's glances were directed, and lie held up a tempt ing specimen of tho fruit. "They are delicious eating, sir—the most delicious of ilavors —can recom mend them. Two for live cents." "Recommend them, do you?" said Eben, quizzically. "Yes, 3irree!" "Eat 'em yourself?" "I might say that I was rained ou those apples, sir. They grow ou our place. 1 live a mile from Talbot, tho next station beyond—get off there and take tho west-bound express back to Clinton. Have tome, sir?" "They look nice," said Eben, medi tatively. "What variety are they?" "We call 'cm tho shcopfold ap ples?" "What?" The exclamation camo with such suddenness that the boy started back and glanced at his prospective custom er apprehensively. Ebon had sprung from his scat, and his sinewy fingers were clutched about the lad's arm in a vise like grip. "Say that again !" ho cried, "Not bheepi'old apples?" "That's what I said," answered tho boy, recovering liis courage after one glance at the Texan's good-natured face. "Only please don't grip my arm so tight. It hurK" "Oh—ah—forgivo mo! I forgot myself," stammered Eben; and be sank back in the seat again. "Rut that name and the siglit of those ap ples carried mo back a great mauy years, to people and a place that I—" He did not liuish tho sentence, for there was a sudden jar, a grinding wrench that seemed to twist the long, straight car to a spiral, ami Eben, the train-boy, tho basket of fruit and con fectionery, the car seats, Ebon's two valises and a confused mas 3 of broken timbers and bent rods and girders were crushed together in an indistin guishable mass of wreckage. The New York and Chicago Limited had jumped the track, owing to a de fective rail, aud the six cars compos ing the train had "tumbled over ft steep bank, ami lay a wreck in the rocky ravine at its base. Eben Hallctt was momentarily stunned by the shock, but bo speedily recovered himself, wormed his way out from under tho debris that was piled upon him, and crawled through a shattered window of tho car, "That was a close shave!" ho ex claimed, recovering his wonted cool ness as soon as he discovered that, with the exception of' a few scratches and a slight cut on the back of his hand, ho was uninjured. "Gracious me—tho apple boy !" With the instinctive chivalry of a bravo man, lie had leaped down upon the car ugaiu, upon finding that he was unhurt, eager to render assistance to his less fortunate fellow-passengers, who were moaning with puinor shout iug with terror under tho hoap of wreckage. Tho first sight that met his eyes as lie peered through tho window was tho lace of the train-boy, buif hidden among the debris. It was whito as death, and Eben's heart throbbed sympathetically and eorrowl'ullv. "Those seats pin him down," he muttered. "I'll soou havo him out. Hope he isn't dead." He seized hold upon the wreckage, and exerting his giant strength, soon bad enough of it removed to be able to lit'i tho boy in his arms. Tiglilly clutched iuiono of tho lad's hands was a shcopfold 1 apple. Pushing tho body through tho win dow, Elieu crawled out, and taking up his burden again, earried it to the side of tho ravine, where thoro iwas a pile of dead leaves. He noticed that tho boyfs right log hung limp and distorted, f and ho laid him down very tenderly.; For a moment ho bentfover tho boy and straightened out thotbroken limb. A feeble moan issucd'froin the white lips. "Thank the fates ! lie lives!" cried Eben; and he to tho work of rescue. Tho newspaper accounts of tho ac cident paid glowing tributo to "tho courage and gallantry of/ one of the Pullman passengers, Ebcnlllallet, Esq., a Texas cattle baron, whosoinoblo work of rescue was instrumental. in saving many lives." It was tho truth, for bnforn all the wounded were removed* tho wreck caught fire, and the few ' whoso lives and limbs, like El>eu's had been mi raculously spared, would never have been able to have gotten lout their le3S fortunate fellow-travolore, but for tho burly Texan's herculean dabor3. Skirting the ravino wluero tho wrock lay was a woodland, and/ beyond that a succession of fortile Ofir-o farms. To the nearest house , ran a brake man for assistance. • Soon the whole neighborhood was aroused, and farmerslin their wagons, filled with straw, caniu flocking to tho BXJOt. Only three persons Jiad liccn killed, but more than two-scone were wounded, and it taxed tho capiucity of tho big wagons to the utmostitoaccommoduto the suffer era. Tho locomotive, forbunntely, had kept the track, soon as the na ture of the wreck Itecame known, the engineer put on all isteani and dashed on to Talbot for assistance. Having helpod to rennove the last of the wounded from tho, wreck, Ebon Hallet returned to his fyoung friend, the train-boy. The la.l was still in a swoon, but Eben laved the whito face with water brought iu his doubled hands from a near-by pond, atud forced a swallow between the boy'sicolorless lips. Theso ministrations causod him to open his blue eyes w<onderingly, and Then close them again with a mouu of pain. "You'ro nil right," said Ebon, soothingly. "Your log is broken, but it will soon hoal. Lay perfectly quiet* and trust to me." The boy raised histhaml ; it was the ' one in which hoistill' clutched tho ap-J l>lo. At siglit of itllio smiled feebly. "J remember now," hoiwhispercd, faintly. "We were talking) about/the sheopfoldrf. What happened?" "Train jumpedithc track," answered Eben. Aud ho would have explained all about the wreck had not a couple of farmers come forward'witlqa stretcher to carry tho wounded boyf to one of the wagons. "Lord bless us!" said the foremost man. "It's Gale Giveus'slittle Billy." "Hullo, Mr. Stetson !" saiilitho.boy. "Take 1110 home to mother." Then turning to Eben lie asked: "Won't you come with me, sir? You shall havo all the shoopfolds yo.u can eat."' "Reckon I will," answered f Eben, grimly. And he took .a scat ill lho#wagonibc side the wounded boy. The faruior drove slowly, and not a word was spoken duringthu journey. Ebeu Hullet, busy with bis thoughts, saw only a sweet-facodjgirl, who laughingly caught tho/rosy checked apples he\tossed dowufto her l from tk'jßproading\braucke3 of fa great tree that overhung a shoepiold onithat rugged Now Engbiud farm ho hadlioft/ so many years before. "hJho married Calo Givens," ho< mused; "but I thought they 'werot still iu Naumkeag. But then 1 haven't heard from thero since Belinda Wil kins wrote mo that Am— to got married. AmMliis is her boy. I Well, well, time brings about strange. things. I wonder if she'll know'me, and what she'll say, and whether'—" His meditations wore broken injup on by the stopping of the wagon. lie glanced up quickly. They/were opposite a comfortable /looking 'farm houso that stood back ujshort distance from the road. "Hero we be." said the farmer.. "Audthere comes Miss Annie." Eben's heart gave abound as hosaw coming toward him a sweet-Sacod woman—the Annie of other days ma tured. "What is it, Mr. Stetson?"shoasked. And the tones of her voice mused a thrill to shoot through Ebcn Hallot's body. Before tbo former could answer, he stepped forward and raised hisfhat. "There is 110 cause for lalarm, madam," he said. "Your little son—. William, I think he is called—hasi met—" He stopped short, for another noiso i broke in upon him, and another wo man, with Annie's features, butf older and more careworn, bounded j down I the garden path toward thorn. "My boy—my Willie!" sho cried,! and would have leaped into the wagon, had Eben not interposed and restrained i her. Briefly he explained about the acci dent and quieted the fears of thetwo women. Both ran back to the house to pre pare a bed for the wounded boy. and Ebon assisted Farmer Stetson to carry 1 the lad in. "Sho don't recognize me," he j thought. But after Willie had been undressed and placed in bed, and be was about to take his departure with a few civil words of sympathy, the boy spoke up. "Aunt Annie," he said, "this gen- tleman was very kind to mo. He was about buying some of tko Hkeepfolds when the train jumpedtho track." It must have been tho picture of long ago that that name conjurod up which caused Eben Hallet to start and his swarthy face to flush. The wounded lad's aunt glanced at him nharply and then uttered a low cry. "Ebenllallet!" she gasped. "You?" She hold out her hands, and there was something in tho expression of her faco that caused tho Texan to seizo them in a firm grasp and lead her from the room. It was under an applo trco similar to tho ono on tho old Massachusetts farm—in fact, it had been grafted with a scion from tho parent stem that tho two halted. What they said to each other does not interest tho reader. A great mistake had been made years before because of tho idle and malic ious gossip of the girl who had written Eben that letter from his old home, which had hardened his heart against all women. "I -I—somehow thought that wo should meet agaiu, Ehcu!" said Annie Davis, when, holding her in his strong arms, ho told her of tho love that even belief in her periidy had never driven out of his heart; "and—and—l'm so happy!" "And so am I!" cried Eben, kissing her. "I'm tho happiest man in Amer ica, and when we're married and I tako you back to my ranch in Texas, ' we'll carry along a whole box of scions, and I'll graft every applo treo on my place with sheepfolds."—Saturday : Night. How Desert Plants Live. I F. V. Covillo, Botanist to tho United States Department of Agriculture, in his admirable "Flora of the Death Valley Expedition," dwells on a point I incidentally treated 011 by other au l thors, that apparently herbaceous I plants in our "American deserts" have I really underground trunks, often going !to great depths into tho earth. In j this way plants can live through long I droughts with very little loss of mois l ttire, Mr. Covillo also remarks on tho comparatively small foliage surface of tho plants of these regions, large-leaved plants being very rare. Out of forty one species of woody plants, tho leaves of which wore measured, only four had leaves of over tho fifth a square inch. Plants which in other parts of tho world liavo berried or pulpy fruits, have allied representatives here bear ing dry fruits. How theso desert plants become co-related to tho circum stances is a great question. Some con tend that they gradually changed through tho influence of many years of environment, while others contend 1 that the geological and geographical conditions, known under tho •general term environment, wore not of grad ual but of somewhat sudden introduc tions, and that plants unsuited to these sudden changes would all havo died before the change in their constitu tions could havo been effected. Tho great question of tho origin of this pe culiar desert flora will possibly be set tled wheu moro facts are brought to bear on tho generalizations. —New York Independent. f To Build a Tunnel for Moving a Library. It is known to only a few that a tunnel is to be constructed in Wash ington from tho crypt of the Capitol under the earst park to tho vaults of tho great building for the Congres sional Library, now in course of con struction. The plans for tho tuuncl have been completed and work upon it will soon bo begun, that it may bo finished in season to be used for tho transportation of the nearly 1,000,00:) books and pamphlets which make up the vast bulk of the library from the old rooms to tho new. It is probable that a temporary railway will be laid in tho tunnel that cars may bo em ployed to carry a largo quantity of books at once. One of tho most remarkable trans 'fers of tho kind in tho history of | libraries was that in Borliu some years ago, when a regiment of soldiers wore put to the work, received their bur dens, ami marched and counter marched under perfect discipline, accomplishing in a short time the vast labor of removal. It is possible that when tho now Jbuiiding is occupied a pneumatic tubo may be laid through the tunnel that Congressmen may immediately receive books which they desire to consult without tho trouble and loss of time which would be entailed in goiug to tho library in person or awaiting a trip by a messenger. It is not ex pected that the work of removal will begin before the spriug ol' 1896. Pittsburg Dispatch. A Sleeper. A sleeper is one who sloops. A sleeper is that in which the sleeper , sleeps.

The mines which built the city ot Helena, in Montana, were discovered by a party of four prospectors who were on their way to a well-known tamp in the Kootenai country. Learning that the diggings in that quarter had failed, they turned aside to prospect in another direction, and for some time wandered about, dig ging holes here and there, hut (hid ing nothing that they considered worth working.
