When the recent storm was over ID Tina, Okln., the late householders, viewing the remains, were greatly sur prised at finding upon the supposed site of the grocery a large and solid mass of excellent ice cream in bulk, molting rapidly away under the sun, but still good at heart. The explana tion, after all, was simple. The light ning stroke which destroyed the roof ol the building, and shattered every barrel and bottle in the place, fused and melt ed a dozen milk cans, releasing tlieii precious contents. Directly over the cans, on the shelves, were a number <t! paper bags of sugar, a sack of Hour and seven bottles of vanilla extract, whose released contents fell into the mass. Before the milk had time to flow awaj it was buried up in such hailstones as oven Oklahoma never saw before, a fall of two feet occurring in almost au instant. The ice balls mingled with the contents of a dozen barrels of salt, which hail been standing about the milk cans, produced such an intense cold that the mingled milk, vanilla, su gar and flour wore instantly solidified 011 the surface, and in half an hour be came a solid mass to the core of excel lent ice creaui.—Now York Recorder. Fathers Must Be Careful There. Among tlie Indians of British Guiana usage bids the father go to bed when a child is born and allows the mother to return at once to her household duties. James Itodway's recently published Ibook on that country explains tho cus tom by a supersltion which attaches the spirit of the child to the body of tho father. The author says: "Tho father must not hunt, shoot or .fell trees for some time, because there 'is an invisible connection between him self and the babe, whose spirit accom panies him in all bis wanderings, aud might be shot, chopped or otherwise injured unwittingly. lie therefore re tires to his hammock, sometimes hold ing the .little one, and receives the con gratulations of his friends, as well as [the advice of the elder members of tlie ( community.

So home I went through tho meadow grass, And at night in sleep, when pageants pas 3, I dreamed that my ships lay on golden sands, And I heard the songs the sirens sing, And saw the birds iu the sky of Juno Flap over tlie masts on languid wing; And watched tho stars adore the moon, And dawn break on those wondrous lauds.

Yet I waited an l watched through tho weary years, For a glimpse of the ships I had sent away So richly freighted in youth's bright day; And my heart was sometimes heavy to tears, And my eyes grow dim and my steps were Aud furroughs were plowed on my pallid cheek; Yet oft I would laugh in boyish glee, For I knew that my ships would come back to mo.

Ilood, in Philadelphia Inquirer. HARRY'S CONVERSION. BY BELLE FIELD. WHAT I" Tho Astonish ment in tho word WHS simply inde seribable, as Harry McDougall . dropped his paper 11 nd regarded his cousin in dignified -.i, amazement. A prettier cousin ■ffToE'fSsl!? t'" 4 " usual she was H ust tlleD , her blue 7 eyes and pink cheeks a little bluer and piuker, as sho viewed her sur prised relative, who soon found voice to remonstrate: "Ho you mean to soy that yon, whose sole ambition should be the en hancing of woman's chief virtue, re tiring modesty, ure really proposing to enter my mill an bookkeeper? Jf so, you are either very ignorant of what would be expected of you iu that capacity, or you are forgetting what is due your own womanhood. Hen rietta McDougall, I am ashamed of you I" Tho subject of this tirade merely gave her decided chin a little lift, and made answer: "You need not flatter yoursolf that you are going to extinguish mo with your heroics, Harry, for I most cer tainly do intend to go into an office, eveu if the shock should jtrove serious to your conservative organization. As you refuse my oiler, X shall take a position with tho Big Salt Lumber Company ; but I thought it would be pleasant tc work with you. - ' Tbo young man cleared his throat two or throe times beforo he found voice lor expostulation. "But, Henrietta, it is not a woman's place. Contact with men in business life disarms woman of her best weapon, and withal her greatest charm. Sho wrecks her own matrimonial chances ; for, you see, when men marry, they do not choose tho girls who have thrust themselves forward, but tie for life to the home girl. Then, too," continued he, with a touch of pomp osity, "woman's brain is of such dif ferent calibre that sho is never a suc cess in the business world. While I esteem you very highly as a friend nud cousin, I could not givo you a place iu my office. I must havo the broader outlook of a man, and do not feel that I could trust any woman with such a responsible position as that held by my bookkeeper." This time there was no mistaking tho real indignation in the girl's face and voice. "Harry, I should bo very angry with your insinuations, but I really only pity one who holilH such warped views. I want you to understand that girls nowadays are not compelled to go about on tiptoe and with bated breath for fear of spoiling their mat rimonial chances. Talk about trust worthiness ! Who absconds with the employer's money? Not the woman. Talk about the 'broader outlook!' Wait until your crosseyed bookkeeper goes to South America with tho con tents of your safe, and you will wish you had one of tho untrustworthy women in his place." "Don't let us quarrel, my dear," patronized Harry, "for I did not wish to offend you. I was shocked that you, so young, so pretty, wished to do man's work." "It is not man's work, Harry," said the girl, quickly. "Work is classified according to its excellence, and not the sex of tho worker. But there is no use of arguing with you," turning to leave the room. "On second thought," and sho paused on the threshold, "lot mo predict that you will fall hopelessly in love with one | of this very class of women, marry her, ond becomo a thorough convert to thoidea'of women in business." "Harry a creature of that stamp? Not until I become un imbecile. I sball marry for a companion; a woman who will know her sphere and keep it." "Ah, it will certainly happen, my sapient cousin, and how I will gloat over you and remind you of these spicy conversations of ours?" With a merry laugh tho girl closed tho door aud rau lightly down tho hall, leaving behind her a much bo rnflled young man. Hurry McDougall was not nt heart an intolcraut young man, but bis whole life environment had b?en con servative in the highest degree. His resideuco in the West had been but short, nud he was daily surprised at the freedom accorded women about him. Ho marveled at the uncon sciousness with which business men accepted into their precincts the en trance of business women, and ab horred, through iguoranco of tho thought of tho times, their "intru sion," as ho called it. His disposal of "the supcrnous wo man" hud been by matrimony, or re legation to her own roof-tree, not con sidering that tho superllous woman had no one to marry her, nor some times a male relative to provide a roof tree, or support it beneath its shelter, eveu did the bread of dependence taste sweet to her. But a few mouths beforo young Mc- Dougall had come to Kausas from Conuocticut, to takocbargooT a flour ing mill lately purchased by his father, a property situated in a small town some thirty miles west of Ellis ton, Henrietta's home. Tho business was prospering, and prosperity does not make an intoler unt niau tolerant; so upon his visits to Elliston his altercations with Hen rietta had becomo more spirited, cul minating in the application by tho girl for position as bookkeeper in bis mill, aud his pompous refusal of it. Tho next morning, before breakfast, a telegram informed Harry that his father had beeu tho victim of an ac cident in tho old mill at home, and desired tho immediato presence of his son. Ho had barely time to writo in structions to bis bookkeeper, placing necessary fuudsat his disposal, beforo tho next train for the East. "What a pity you did not accept my offer of yesterday," said Henrietta, jokingly, n* they stood beside iho waiting train. "Just think how well I could have taken caie of your inter ests during your absence." "Pouf!" ejaculated Harry, with ex aggerated contempt. "When I want a shortage in my accounts I will em ploy women to manage my affairs." And ho swung himself aboard in time to escapo his cousiu's just wrath. But no sooner had ho taken up tho familiar duties at home than the dis tracting news came from the West that his trusted bookkeeper (Henri etta's detestation) had left sudden lj r , with the contents of tho safe. The young man's state of mind can bo imagined. His father was not yet out of daugcr, and, even had he been, tho business required him to stay in tho East. Ilis money—a considerable sum—was gone, tho mill was not run ning, and orders already in could not be filled. It meant ruin for him. After several days of distracted waiting and telegraphing, ho received a letter from Elliston, which ran: "MB. HLXUY MCDOUOALL: "Dear Sir—l have visited your mill, looked over tho premises, examined the books, and. If satisfactory to you, am willing to take charge of the business during your absence, advancing the necessary money. This, providing you will sell mo a one-half Interest in the property, at the price asked by the former owner, and will accept the money I shall advance as part purchase money. "Awaiting your decision. I am "Yerv truir vonrs D P BOABDMAV. Ilis first sense was one of rolief, fol lowed by wonderment. David Board man was senior member of tbo firm owning one of tlio largest mills in El liston, and his check could be drawn for a larger amount thau that of any other man in the city. What could ho want, Hurry asked himself, with u mill in a little country town, where such a fiuancial disaster had occurred as had happened to his own business? But tko letter was evidently in good faith, and Harry telegraphed his ac ceptance immediately, knowing that a partnership with Mr. Boardman would insure his future. Tlireo months later, Harry alighted from the train at his Western homo. In the interveniug time his partner had not only made up the loss the business had sustained, but had brought profits higher than ever be fore. Mr. Boardman had remained constantly on tlio ground, however, but had signified his intentiou of re turning to Elliston as soon as Harry returned. A farmer drovo past Harry as he walked to tlio mill. Ho could not stop his loaded wagon on tho river bank, but lie called out cheerily : "Glad tor see yer back, Mr. Mc- Dougnll. Mighty liuo partner o' your's in thar!" With a light heart Harry pushed open the otfioo door, then stopped aghast. Ho saw busily writing at the desk not tho bent form of David Boardman, but a j'oung lady. For a moment he stood sturiug at the trimly attired figure and sleek, dark head. Then a low, yot decisive, voico said: "Were there any letters for us to night, John?" Before Harry could frame a reply, tho young woman, turning, met his gaze. She arose and advanced, atrilie of color coming to her check, yot her demeanor coal and unrufiiod, aud asked: "I beg your pardon, sir. I thought it was the janitor. Is there anything i can do for you?" Harry pulled himself togethor and replied: "I should liko to see Mr. Board man." The girl looked puzzled for a mo ment, th.su answered: "I fear you have mado n mistako. Mr. Boardman lives iu Elliston, tho next town cast." "I certainly have ma le no mistake," returned Harry, decidedly. "I have letters iu my pocket dated at this place, and settling tho details of a transaction by which he becoaio3 part owner of this property." "Mr. Boardman certainly has no in terest here," Rtatod his informant. "I am Miss Boardman, and havo bought half this mill, which I ani managing until Mr. McDougali ar rives from the East." For an instant Harry felt as though ho were on a toboggan slope several miles long not knowing where the eud might be; but ho pulled himself to gether and handed tho young lady ouo of his cards. At sight ot tho piece of pasteboard, tho young lady looked wonderstruck, aud again Hushed a trifle. Then she looked up, and ventured: "Aud you thought —" "Yes, I thought so," ho answered comprehensively. "But I am so be wildered uow that I am past all think ing. Will you please explain some things that I cannot understand?" Within in a lew moments Harry dis covered that instead of selling an interest iu his mill to Mr. David B. Boardman, lie had delivered it over to a Philistine iu the persou of Dorothy P. Boardman, tho aforesaid gentleman's niece and juuior partner; that she, having extra funds on her hands, and hearing of McDougall's trouble, had felt sorry for him, iuvos gated, fouud that the investment would be a good one, and made him an oiler. She had an idea, from what her un cle had told her of Harry's being a woman hater, that ho was an elderly, cross-grained old bachelor, and found him to be a young Adonis, over six feet tall, with an expression in his blue eyes as ho looked on her that be lied the name of woman hater. Sho had not intended to doceivo him, but had merely signed her name as she was in the habit of doing in her husiuess relations, without dreaming of being confused with her uncle, not taking into account Harry's short res idence iu tho State. It was astonishing to soo how readi ly the young man reconciled himself to haviug for a partner this young, business like woman, with the bright, gray eyes aud quiet voice. Miss Boardman went back to Ellis ton at once, and Harry took up 1113 work alone. His bookkeeper was never found, perhaps because tho amount of his embezzlement was not large cuough to make much stir, but Henrietta said it was becauso of his "broader outlook." That youug lady also made frequent remarks about the number of time.s that Harry found it necessary to seek his partner's advice, and her triumph was complete when, a few mouths af ter the first partnership was consum mated, Dorothy Boardman, upon much persuasion, consented to enter into another partnership with tho house of McDougali, tho papers to bo made out for life. All this was five years ago. Now tho little country station threatens to bo quite town, aud Harry's prosperity lias grown along with it. Ho gives hi? wife credit for his prosperity, as for his happiness, and has come to glory [ in having married one of the class once so obnoxious to him. David Boardman McDougali, aged three, is, in spito of his long name, quite tho most intelligent child in ex j istence, so his parents aver, and Hen rietta McDougali is head bookkeeper iu her cousin's mill, having como to see the working out nor only of her I hopes but of her prophecy.—New I York Ledger.

THE CARE OP VELVET. ITalf of tho beauty of velvet is in its freshness, and this must he retained. The chief clerk of one of the most suc cessful velvet departments in Now York gives her experience iu this re gard. As every one else docs, sho had all volvet unrolled as soon as it came in, but, uulike many, sho takes care to paper every yard of it before loose ly folding it for the boxes. Large sheets of white tissuo paper are used, laying them over fcho right sido of tho velvet, and folding them from each or ono end. The paper keeps the gloss and prevents tho pile crushing, as well as keeping tho dust from it. In cleaning up tho stock it is only necessary to dust the boxes, iusido and out, thus saving tho surface from the deadly whisk broom. If a brush bad to be used at any time, it was a soft bonuet whisk, which, when brushed against tho pile, did not in jure it. With this caro velvet has remained in stock six months and looked in per fect condition.—Dry Goods Economist. IIOT WEATHER DIET. The doctor sauntered iu looking maddeningly cool in her pale blue chambray waist and hor light weight black silk skirt. Sho eyed tho heatod individual lying iu a muslin negligco on tho lounge with somo disapproval. Tho heated individual grunted out a greeting, fanned as vigorously as sho could, took a drink of iced lemonade from a glass pitcher at her elbow and then anathematized tho weather, Tho doctor listened with professional pa tience. "What did you havo for breakfast this morning?" sho demanded finally, removing temptation in tho form of iced drinks to a distance and seating herself on the foot of tho lounge. "Could scarcely eat any breakfast." growled tho wurin person, "I had a couplo of cups of coffee, a roll and somo eggs and bacon. I like eggs aud bacon." "Urn," remarked tho doctor in non committal tones. "Did you havo cream with your coffee?" "Yes, of course," said the pationt who wished to ho treated for heat. "Do you really wish to bo cool, healtby and energetic for tho rest of tho summerdemanded the doctor. "Or do I prefer to bo sizzling sick and languid? You may proceed on tho former assumption," said tho patient flippantly. "Very well," said tho doctor, be ginning to write aprescriptiou. Wheu it was written sho handed it to tho patient, who read: "Breakfast: fruit, plenty cf it; whole wheat or graham bread without butter ; coffee, one cup without cream. Occasionally ou rainy or cool days, vary by having a broiled chop, a boiled egg or a dish of well-cooked rice. "Luncheon: Fruit, sliced bread, wliolo wheat or graham; wheatena, rico or breakfast hominy served with fruit syrup or preserved fruit; vege table salads. Tea or coffee, without cream, and hot. Vary by usiug waford and marmalade or tho like. "Dinner: Clear soup, consomme or bouillon, hot; fish or meat, green peas, beets, asparagus, beans, boiled rico or hominy, stewed tomatoes,salad of lettuce, tomatoes or cucumbers; dessert of l'ruit. Small cup of black coffee." "Will you ba kind enough to ex plain this remarkable document'" asked tho patient when sho had road it. "Cheerfully," said tho doctor. "Al most all tho ills that flesh is heir to iu summer are duo to improper diet. Our climate differs considerably dur ing July and August from that of tho arctic regions, and yet wo storo away heat-producing food ia away that would astonish tho Eskimos, I verily believe. We oat meat as freely as wo do in December. "We tako fats into our systems with perfect indifference—cream, milk and butter. Besides this, wo forco tho stomach to do as hard work iu sum mer as it does iu winter until it rebels. Then wo complain of not having any appetite, or being fagged out, aud fin ally we como down with dyspepsia. Now, tho way to keep cool is to eat cooling foods—that doesn't mean cold food, observe—and to give the stomach as easy a tiino as possiblo. Tho less work it has to do the cooler the body will be. Fruits and fresh vegetables aro laxatives. If plenty of them arc eateu, they will give sulficient nourish ment. Cold drinks are a delusion and a snare. They chill tho interior of tho stomach. Tho surrounding air seems hotter by contrast and perspi ratiou is chocked. Moderate perspi ration is one of tho greatest aids to coolness. Now, will you try my pre scription?" "For a fortnight," agreed tho heated individual. "That will mean all tho summer," said tho doctor, cordially. "Once tried it is always used."—New York World.
