"Your husband has brcn a perfect
angel, Beatrice! I don't know what
I should have done without him;
these people in Brittany are de
lightfully picture quc and all that,
but somehow my French does not
seem to penetrate ben.uith their caps!
I can hardly make the.n understand a
thing I want."
Mrs. Mcrydith fan died.
"I don't think George lias ever been
credited with celestial qualities be
fore; but now tell me, how do yon like
this place?"
"Charming l ExquLite, and so ro
mantic!"
"What enthusiasm! I hardly ex
pected such rapture i, though to be sure
tliev are well-deserved," and Mrs.
Merydltli glance 1 appreciatively round
the long, low, oak-pinole 1 room, with
its old-fash toned bahut, its quaint pic
tures, and heavily-carved chairs.
"The whole adventure is so delight
ful! Fancy Aunt Felicia leaving me a
sweet, little old-fashioned house in
Brittany all to myself, on condition
that I lived in it for three months
every year. There is something so
charmingly unreasonable about it all!
Anyhow, here I am, ready to fulfill
everything to the letter. What a love
ly coincidence that you and your hus
band should be settled here too!"
"We have spent several springs at
Marvaux. Gcorg-e likes the scenery,
and he finds ho can work better hero
than anywhere."
"Yes—it must bo very nice to bo
married to some one clever and
learned and all that; only if my hus
band wrote novels and plays, I should
always he afraid he'd put ine in one of
them! There's no fear of that with
poor Leslie, however—"
"Mr. Travers will join you here, of
course," aslccd Mrs. Meryditli.
"Leslie? Certainly not! My % dear
Beatrice, everybody can't go in for
the ultra-matrimonial like you and
George! Mv husband and I are the
best of friends; and we think the less
wear and tear we give our conjugal
bliss the longer it is likely to last; so
while I nm fulfilling the conditions of
my aunt's will and cultivating my
complexion at Marvaux, my lord and
master i > devoting himself to rouge et
noir at Monte Carlo."
Mrs. Mcrydith knew her friend too
well to be astonished at this sortie;
from her earliest youth .Stephanie had,
in virtue of a pair of innocent blue
eyes and a quantity of rebellious
bright hair, been allowed a certain
irresponsibility of speech and man
ner. Few people—herself included—
bad ever dreamt of taking little Mrs.
Travers seriously. Perhaps mothers
with marriageable daughters, and
elderly wives with volatile husbands,
were the only ones who regarded her
otherwise than indulgently.
"You'd have some tea, Beatrice?"
aslccd Meph&nie, as she moved to
wards Die old-fashioned bell-rope.
"Tea? You don't mean to say you
have made them get you tea here?"
"Certainly, my dear; I imported the
teapot and the tea, and your good hus
band made them realize the hot water
and the tray."
"You're a marvel!" laughed Mrs.
Mcrydith, as she pulled off her gloves
and drew one of the heavy oaken
chairs up to the small tabic which
stood by the couch on which her friend
hail seated herself. y
"Not at all, only I understand the
art of living, my dear."
Meantime a neat tea-tray had mado
its appearance, and Mrs. Travers cast
<a triumphant glance at her companion.
"Not bad after a ton-days' stay, ia
It?"
"You've done wonders, Stephie! It's
quite like being at home. Have you
made friends with anyone here yet?"
"I haven't spoken to a soul but yoiir
husband and the old women in the
market."
"I only hope you won't find the
place terribly dull."
Stephauic gave her pretty head a
toss.
"I don't think so."
"There are not many people here
you would care about, I'm afraid. I
go out very little oven among the few
English who arc here."
"My dear Beatrice, we all know that
HO long as you can cut your husbund's
quills and keep his ink-wells filled, you
are happy; if you hadn't been my
friend, I'm not sure I shouldn't
have volunteered to take your place
while you were in England." Mrs.
Meryditli laughed indulgently. "Only,
as I say, I'm afraid of clever meu.
| Your husband always seems to bo
trying to find one out, to dissect one's
moral nature. No, you ncedu't bo
afraid, Beatrico. I shall not ilirt with
George—"
"My poor Stepliic, I'm afraid you
won't find anybody else to fiirt with."
"Oh, really."
There was a world of meaning in
the two words, and Mrs. Merydith's
eyes lighted with curiosity.
"What do you mean, Stephie?"
"Nothing—except that the evenings
here are very warm, and that it itf very
pleasant, to sit in the twilight with the
windows open—"
"What on earth are you talking
about?"
"I've made a conquest, dear."
"Nonsense! I mean how is it possi
ble? You say you haven't been any

"What do you in jau?"
"List-n. 1 hud been here about
three clays, when one evening, about
this time, I threw the window open
ami was stain ling looking out over
the trees, when suddenly I heard a
man's voice speaking very softly;
everything was so still that I couldn't
help hearing."
"Well—V '
"I never was made love to so beauti
fully before, Beatrice. I didn't think
it was in ant for mo at flr3t, until I
heard him talking about 'golden hair
shining aureolo-likc round iny fair
face'-—wasn't that lovely?"
"But who i, the man? What did you
do?"
"I didn't do anything at all. I was
rather startle I. an I shut the window
very softly. The next night, though,
exactly tlio .;:uaj thing happened."
"Did you tell George?"
"Certainly n >L —men are so absurd;

"How eon.mine l'y impertinent. Of

"I haven't seen him, except very
dim'y. I only stand nt the window
and smile down at him pityingly."
Mrs. Meryditli laughed outright,
on are too absurd, Stephanie. It's
lucky I came back. George must get

"I don't want him to be got rid of,
thank you. lie interests me."
"But Leslie—'.'
"My dear Beatrice, Leslie lias noth

I am so sorry for my poor lover; I

as somebody says, somewhere. I think
it must be rather nice—"
"Do be serious, Stephanie! The
whole affair is simply ridiculous; but
you must promise mo not to go to tho
window again."
Mrs. Travers sprang up with a merry
ripple of laughter anil softly unlatched
the long window, stepping on to tho
small balcony. Iler friend followed
her quickly and tried to draw her
back.
"Hush!" whispered Stephanie, cran
ing her neck forward, and then from
among the darkening trees, still
"I'VE MADE A CONQUEST, DEAR."
flushing from the rays of the dying
sunset, rose a passionate, thrilling
voice:
"Love you? Could a man 800 you
and not be your slave? Having seen
you, could he live without your love?
Sweetheart! darling! Speak to me,
answer me—oh, answer—"
A woman's laugh rang sharply
through the silanoe, and Mrs. Mery
ditli sunk against the open window,
quivering with mirth. Stephanie,
aghast and amazed, stared at her
friend.
"Beatrico, what is the matter?"
"Your lover, oh, Stephie!—how
absurd, how ridiculous!" And she
made her way back to the room, still
shaking with merriment.
"My dear child," she continued, re
covering herself, "your Romeo is re
hearsing the love scene in my hus
band's new play; he is staying with us
and that is tho grand tirade! Oh,
Stephie, Stephie—how absurd!"
Mrs. Travers drew herself up a little
stillly, but the comedy of tho situation
was too much for her, and through
the pauses of the women's laughter
came still the passionate "Answer—
oh, answer me!"— Black and White.
Timely Warning.
The attitude of England toward tho
fox is a very serious one; that animal,
sacred to the chase, must be killed in
tho regulation manner or not at all.
A little lesson on tho subject was
given, in his youth, to Sir Robert
Adair, a once famous diplomatist
lie had been educated in tho Uni
vei-sity of Uottlngen, and on return
ing to England visited his uncle, Lord
ICeppel, at Euston. On one occa
sion he went to shoot pheasants in
Fakenham wood, and there ho be
came acquainted with his celebrated
cousin, Charles James Fox.
Mr. Fox, the best-natured of men,
seeing that ho was a shy youth, did
overythiug in his power to set him at
ease.
"Well, youngun," said he, "where do
you spring from?"
"From Gottingen."
"Not much shooting there, I sup
pose?"
"Oh, yes, wo used to shoot foxes,"
replied the lad, innocently.
"Hush!" said Fox; "never pronounce
that word again, at least in this house,
for if tho duke were to hear you had
killed one of my namesakes, he would
swear it belonged to Fakenham
wood!" Youth's Companion.

For uny young man with a tas./e for

which the cuffs are dropped. But first

and flying ribbons decking herself with
a young man's cuffs and neckwear; or a

A MYSTERY EXPLAINED.
Mnrvclous FfTeotn rro<lucd by Washing
Drews Goods In Chicago River Water.
An Ohio editor recently printed a col
umn of "Homo Pointers," clipped from
a Chicago paper. One of the recipes
read as follows:
"Ink stains may bo romovod from colored
tablo covers by dissolving a tca.spoonful of
boiling water and rubbing the stained i>art well
with the solution."
An Akron lady gave a fair trial to
this remarkably lucid piece of advice,
and then sat herself down and wrote a
letter to the editor of her favorite
paper, in which she Bays:
"I have been looking for a long time for
something which would remove Ink stains,
ftml I noticed In Saturday's paper a recipe
which I gladly tried, but it doesn't seem to
work properly. After dissolving the water I
have nothing left but the spoon, and have
nearly melted that In my rcpeuted attempts.
Is it the water that gives the trouble? I
thought, of course, you meant our Akron
water. There should certainly be a largo
amount of roslduum In that; or did you mean
the wator wo will got after they tap Summit
lake? If that is what you mean, I have no
doubt but what that would do. but will fouvo
to wait bofore I am convinced. Perhaps If you
hud a proofreader he might enlighten me. but
I doubt it."
The proofreader, kind Akron lady,
may not be able to give you the de
sired information, but we can—and
will. The author of the recipe, being
a dweller in the modern Gomorrha at
the foot of Lake Michigan, conducted
all his experiments with Chicago river
water, a mysterious fluid whose chem
ical properties are simply marvelous.

Reforms In the Dedroom,
We will be a healthier and happier
race when the double bed is banished.
The light iron or brass bedstead, with
a mattress that can be easily aired and
kept clean, is the bed that ought to bo
generally used. And the heavy com
forter ought to be banished with the
double bod, for it l>clongs to the log
cabin and the back woods. The bed
covering par excellence is a light
weight blanket that can be frequently
washed and kept soft and white. Tuck
ing the bedclothes tightly in is anoth
er custom handed down by dwellers in
arctic wilds. The practice of making
up a bed and making it almost air
tight is ns unhealthy as It is uncleua.

TO REMOVE STAINSr
i'AHo Thls 111 Your SiTapbook, You Will
Want It Frequently.
Here are receipts for removing vari
ous kinds of stains:
Coffee, Tea and Wines.—lf these stains
on the table; linen are of long standing,
and have been washed with soap, it is
rather difficult to get rid of them. Hut
javelle water —which can he made at
home or bought of a druggist—is goner
ally most successful. Hut about half a
pint of javelle water and a quart of
clean water into un earthen bowl; let
the stained article soak in this for sev
eral hours. Then rinse thoroughly in
three waters. It is only white goods
that can bo treated in this manner, as
the javelle water bleaches out the
color.
Sewing Machine Oil Stains.—To re
move these stains rub the stain with
sweet oil or lard and let it stand for
several hours. Then wash it in soap
and cold water.
Pitch and Tar Stains.—Hub lard on
the stain and let it stand for a few
hours. Sponge with spirits of turpcir
tine until the stain is removud. If tho
color of the fabric be changed sponge it
with chloroform and the color will bo
restored.
Ink Stains.—Tear blotting paper in
pieces and hold the rough edge on tho
ink when it is freshly spilled, or cover
the spot with Indian meal; or the liquid
ink may be absorbed by cotton batting.
If the ink be spilled on a carpet, cut a
lemon in two, remove a part of the
rind and rub the lemon on the stain.
If the inlc-staincd article be washed
immediately in several waters and
then in milk, letting it soak in tho
milk for several hours, the stain will
disappear. Washing the article imme
diately in vinegar and water and then
in soap and water is another remedy
which will remove all ordinary ink
stains. No matter what substance be
used to remove ink the stain must bo
rubbed well. If the article stained bo
a carpet on the floor use a brush.
Crass Stains.—Rub the article stained
with alcohol, then wash in clean water.
HINTS FOR THE TABLE.
RAPID eating is slow suicide.
PLENTY of time should be taken.

AN hour or two of rest should bo
taken after the meal.
MERE gratification of the appetite is
very likely to shorten life.
DINNEH should be of a lighter nature

IT is not good to dine when in a state

HANGING WINDOW GARDEN.
A Simple AfTiilr That Can Ho Constructed

Many people are so situated that

DEATII OF A TERROR.
Passing Away of a Twenty-Two
Foot Rattloanake.
Ma<l Ifh Home la an Intliana Switnip uutf
It Wan Itelievetl That It Escaped
from a Clreun Cowardice of
tho Monster.
It IR announced by John Noland, one
of tho best known farmers in tho
county, that tho famous snake, the
Madison county terror, that is known
over eastern Indiana, is dead, or at
least there is evidence to substantiate
such an assertion. It will be remem
bered that several weeks ago a Lafay
ette township farmer, who was cutting
his hay, ran into his snakeship with
his mower, and the result was that six
feet of tail parted company with the
; terror. Several farmers were sum
j moned and the rest of the field cut, but
' despite all precautions, his snakeship
j made good his escape, says a dispatch
! from Snyderson, I ml.
| Tho part of tho tail cut oil was
j brought to this city and put on exhibi
j tion. It was almost six feet long, and
I at the place where the mower-blade
had got in its work it was almost six
j inches in diameter. Putrefaction made
j is necessary to bury thp remnant, but
j there are many who will make afiida
' vit to having seen it. The snake disap
peared and has not been found. Thurs
day afternoon John Noland and his
hands were clearing out a thicket in
j the Dismal swamp and getting some of
the land ready for drainage and culti
i vation. They suddenly came upon
! what seems to be the skeleton of a
snako. The flesh was all dried and in
many places worn away by the ele
ments.
The thicket was cleared and it was
found that the skeleton measured a
! few inches over fifteen feet. The tail
was missing entirely, it being severed
at a place where the bones would indi
cate his snakeship had been about five
inches through. This, together with
the fact that the thicket is less than a
mile from the place where the Madison
county terror collided with the mower,
to his sorrow, leads to the belief that
this is the last remains of the noted
reptile, which had a name all over the
gas belt. Mr. Noland has the bones to
bear out his assertions, and many have
gone out to see them. They are of a
size that would indicate that tho rep
tile was a monster, and, if not the

famous snake, was one that had never
been seen, as it was much larger, evi
dently, than the ordinary Indiana
creeper.
"The Madison county terror" has
been known as a reality for at least
eight years, and probably longer. It
made its home in the Dismal swamp, a
stretch of land lying between this city
and Pendleton, which is just now, for
the first time, being drained and made
ready for cultivation.
He was a monster, many who have
seen him in this and the immediate ad-
Joining counties estimating his length
at thirty feet, his width at one foot.
The skeleton would indicate that ho
was about twenty-two feet long and
about eight inches in diameter at the
largest point. Those who have seen
his tracks in crossing a newly-plowed
field state that it looked like a sack of
grain had been dragged along. He was
notorious for his cowardice, and this
probably served him well in preserving j
his life. He had wonderful speed, and
always made his escape when cornered
in preference to fighting. Iledivedupon
small beasts and other daintie she could
get hold of without running any risk.
David Croan, who was probably the
best posted on the vicissitudes of this
reptile, used to state that he happened
In Indiana by accident. It was his
opinion that he made his escape from a
circus. Do was not a native of this
state, it is certain, as he was ten or
twclvo times tho size of tho common
Indiana reptile. The famous Fore
paugh circus had a wreck in this coun
ty a few years before the terror made
his appearance, and it is thought that
he escaped then. He had no mate and
always seemed lonely. The bones,
which have been found, will be boiled
and cleaned, then wired together and
presented to the Madison County His
torical society, to be placed in the
museum. The tail is also to be un
earthed and cleaned in a similar man
ner, so that it will be complete.
Tied Ilia Cow to a Freight Car.
A few days ago, at Albany, N. Y., a
little son of John Bethunc was leading
a cow to pasture, and when he reached
the woolen mills he tied tho cow to
tho coupling pin of a freight car
while he went inside to speak to his fa
ther. Unfortunately for the cow, the
Lebanon engine backed up on the
switch while the boy was inside, and,
not seeing the cow, coupled on to the
car and started up tho track. The bo
vine was not noted as a sprinter, but
she was forced up the track at a 2:17K
gate. A farmer who was passing saw
the predicament and managed to signal
the engineer to stop, otherwise there
must have been a spurt of speed on the
part of tho cow unheard of before by
any bovine, or a broken neck, for the
boy had tied her securely with a stout
rope. As it is, she is alive and well,
and holds the record of tho town for
that sort of a race.
