She was pour- l inn out her best tea and giving it to the, man in the chair. Dr. Slurke did a very foolish thingâ€"â€"-a thing he had often done before, but never without experiencing dis- astrous results. He lost his temper.

Dr. Slurke bowed sarcastically. ” I thank you, no, madam," he said. ” I only came in to inform you that I had caught a cold in my garden whilst awaiting your pleas-. ure." . The other man looked quietly up. “ I guess you ought to be proud of it,”he said, in his objectionable American way. ; Dr. Slurke bowed to him with withering . irony. “ Iâ€"ehâ€"was not aware that I was asking a conundrum,” he said. “May I inquire who I have the pleasure of address- 5 in z” ' The stranger smiled. “ My name’s Win-" terbottomâ€"Alphzous P.

You see it was rather a difficult question to an- swer, and ”â€"â€"â€"â€" “ I will thank you to be good enough not to discuss it before this gentleman,” the Doctor ejaculated at a wlriteheat. ” But Iâ€"I really "â€"Aud poor Miss Mattie felt inclined to cry. Mr. Winterbottom was moved by Miss Mattie’s distress. “ Shall I make him shut the door from the outside?” he asked, quietly caressing the cat. “ I think, Madam, you’d feel more comfortable if this turkey-cock sort of person had gone home to roost.” “ I was not speaking to you, sir,” said the Doctor. “ My remarks were meant for this lady.” “ I could just drop him into a nice soft flower-bed, if you’d only say the word, Madam,” quietly continued Mr. VVinter- I bottom. ; “ Madam, I take my leave,” said the I angry Doctor.â€"â€"“ As for you, Mr. Winter- ' beans, you shall hear from me.” i “Not professionally, I hope," said the imperturbable stranger. “ Don’t distress . this lady any more, or I’ll really have toI come and reason with you. ” The Doctor withdrew, speechless with rage. Poor Miss Mattie began to cry soft- ly into the teapot. - The stranger put the cat down, gently approached the table. “ Madam,” he said, “ that extremely ill~tempered person will be better to-morrow. If he ain’t, I guess I’ll have to reason with himâ€"near a pond.” ) “ Oh, please don’t,” said Miss Mattie, i feeling comforted by the stranger’s vast ( bulk. “ Iâ€"I kept him waiting for an an. : swer to--to an extremely delicate matter this evening, andâ€"and he’s cross with me.” The stranger led Miss Mattie to the arm- chair. “ Now, you sit there, Madam,” he said in his gentle, kindly way. “ l’ll brew I this tea for you. You just assimilate these cunning little cakes of yours, and you’ll feel better. One lump of sugar? Isn’t it ?” “ Yes,” said Miss Mattie, feeling that support from consoious strength which de- lights most women. “And the cream 2" said the stranger, : holding up the dainty little cream ewcr; admiringly. “ My! Ain’t that little pitcherl pretty ! And the fire ! Beats our stoves bob 1 low.” He handled the. dainty tea equipage' with jealous care, and waited on Miss Mat- tie so nicely that all her fears vanished. “A gentle lady like you didn’t ought to be bothered,” the stranger said rcflectivcly, when Prudence had cleared away the things â€"“ didn’t ought to be bothered by a grass- hopper like that. I duresay he means well, but he don’t colluscitate worth a cent. That’s what’s the matter with him.- Now just tell me if you feel downwright chipper again, and if so, we’ll go into this business, or, if you prefer it, I’ll come again to-mor- row." “ I thank you, Mr. \Vinterbottom,” said Miss Mattie, in her simple friendly way. “ Itâ€"it was foolish of me toâ€"to be so well, he married old Deacon Tucker's old- est.” Miss Mattie was but human.

The stranger saw it. I can’t remember the names of the others," he said comfortineg ; “but there aren’t manyâ€"seven or eight, maybe.” “Is be happy!" inquired Miss Mattie, still clinging to her romance, as only a woman can. She would not be harsh or un- just to Reuben. Whilst she stayed at home and dreamed her life away, he had gone into that vast new country and won a living from the soil He had worked out the grief from his heart, andâ€"and. for- gotten her. Shc might have known that his strong loyal nature could not fail to find an appreciative helpmate. This Canadian girl who had loved him had not stayed to think of social position ;she had grasped the substance instead of the shadow. Poor Miss Mattie’s tears flowed freely. Perhaps Reuben’s grief when his wife had been called away had prompted him to think of her, Miss Mattie. “Whâ€"what is his message to me ‘2” she inquired. Mr. Winterbottom came a little nearer to Miss Mattie. “ Well, you see,” he said gently, “she was kind of jealous of you, Madam. Reube told her you’d always be first in his heart, and so, when she was called away, she asked him to send for you toâ€"to look after him.” “ Andâ€"and what did he say ?" asked Miss Mattie. “Well, you see, Reube hadn’t the heart to tear you away from your old surround- ings, even if you’d been willing to come. So he sent me. “ Tell her," he saidâ€"“ tell her all my life I’ve turned to her in sorrow and joy alike; all my life she’s been my guiding star. In the woods I’ve seen her walking before me, clearing the way, and everywhere she stepped the corn grew greenly. Tell her,” he said, “in all that coarse, rude, rough life, with its struggles and trials and pains and successes, she’s never left my side for one moment. She’s been the angel of my life, the pure sweet English girl, who I know has been true to me all these years.

To say this to me means that he was disloyal to her. Don’t let me think the men I loved all my life could have been false to us both. Please leave me that. Don‘t take that away from me. Itâ€"it has been the only thing which has sustained me in. my loneliness. 1 have lived a quiet, faith- ful, uneventful life, keeping and guarding- the love which God put into our hearts. Don’t tell me that now, after all these years, he could send me such a. message as that. It must be some dreadful mistake” â€"iii her excitement she laid her band upon Mr. VVinterbottom’s armâ€"“some dread- ful mistake. It is natural that he should turn to me now ; but he must have loved her while she lived. It is only his sorrow which makes him seem to forget. Tell him I will be a mother to his childrenâ€"go to themâ€"cherish them; but unsay those words which have destroyed my ideal, the ideal which 1 have taken to my heart all these years. The sacredncss of love must not be broken like this.

Many of them reply; I don’t have time to sleep during the day. Take time, say I; you’ll get it back, good measure, pressed down, running over. Then they can't sleep in the day-time. That is nonsense. They may not the first few days, but very soon, after persistently making the effort every day, atacertain time, the habit will be formed. Poverty of the Blood- Paleness, thinness of body, weakness and nervousness, are signs of poverty of the blood, or what physicians term anaemia. In some cases palpitatiou of the heart is often complained of ; and when the poverty is the greatest, the lips are pallid and the tongue almost colorless. In oldcn times iron was almost wholly relied upon to overcome these symptoms, and al the present day this is the one remedy to which patients suffering from them resort to when they undertake to treat themselves. But physicians, while giving it in many cases, depend for more upon simpler and more effectual measures. These are dietetic and hygienic. They insist upon free exercise, and that several hours be spent in the open air, either walking or riding, each day. Also at such times that the so~called “breathing exercise ” be frequently employed. In the simplest form of this, the subject, while standing with shoulders thrown back, inflates the lungs to the fullest extent, the mouth the meanwhile being closed, and the air entering only through the nose. Of all measures this is one of the most important, for by the means of it the blood is purified and vitalized. Sponging the body with water that has been made comfortably warm, the operation to be followed by vigorous rubbing with an ordinary towel, is another measure of no little importance, for by it the waste avenues in the skin are kept wellopen, and, besides, a general'tonic effect is secured. Disregard this or other as efficient means for promoting cleanliness, and the blood can never be pure, for it is sure to take up and carry with it some of the waste matters that should have been expelled through the pores of the skin. The clothing must be carefully looked to by this class of patients, while in winter “ bundling up” is not to be encouraged, yet the clothing should be ample, and that worn next to the skin be of “ all wool.” As regards the diet, it should be as highly nutritious as the digestive organs will war- rant, and should consist largely of .milk, fresh eggs, and beefstcak. If all these measures are faithfully applied infinitely much will be done toward restor- | ing the blood and renewing the strength of the system. And if at the same time small doses of iron are taken, the gain from week to week ought to be noticeable. But from thiis remedy alone very little can be expect- e . Beat as a Remedial Agent- Eczema, moist tetter, or salt-rhcum, is one of the most troublesome of skin infec- tions, not infrequently defyinz skillful medical treatment for years. Sufferers from this affection will be glad to know that one of the best means of relieving the'iiitoler- able itching which accompanies it. is 8. Sim. ple remedy which is always accessible, namely, the application of heat. Hot water applied at a temperature as high as can be borne without actual injury to the skin, is an almost certain remedy to relieve the in- tolerable itching. The parts should never be scratched or rubbed so as to increase the irritation. Simply holding the affected part near the fire of an open grate, gradually approaching more and more close until the degree of heat becomes almost painful, is another means of applying the same remedy. Again, there is no better remedy for the relief of rheumatic pains in the joints or other portions of the body, than hot appli- cations. Flannel cloths dipped in very hot water and wrung as dry as possible should be applied to the parts, and the whole eii- veloped in a thick, dry flannel cloth to re- tain the heat. The application should be act, quite the reverse, being merely copies of ornaments which wore made and worn thousands and thousands of years ago. Not afew go back even to prehistoric times, furnishing most interesting reminders of vanished people. JEWELS or cvrnioras. Nothing can well be more curious than these ornaments which were worn by fair women, and perhaps by the dandics of a long-vanished epoch. There Would be no difficulty in imagining that they were of modern manufacture. No better or more elaborate workmanship is done now, and it is no wonder that makers of jewrlry in the year 1892 are glad to imitate them, not al- ways equaliug the originals. Those found in Cyprus were produced by thnicians and Greeks. It will be remem- bered that Carthage, iu latter days the great rival of Rome, was peopled by the Plncni- cians, who were a great and highly-civilized maritime nation, although comparatively little of their history is accurately known. The ancient metal-workers were acquainted with many devices which have been suppos. ed to be of modern invention. For exam- ple, some of the bracelets found were of filled gold, copper furnishing the core. They made remarkably handsome cameos by pressing glass with dies. In those times buttons were unknown, and so it happened that among the things dug up were a great many pins that were used for dress clusps. One of the prettiest necklaces is conipos~ quently caused by the presence of some such I foreign body in the ear or by an accumula~ tion of war. In such a case the remedy consists in frequently syringing out the ear with warm water, using also a little sweet oil or white castile soap to dislodge the ob- struction. Sometimes a large piece of wax comes out only after weeks of such syring. ing. and the defective hearing is suddenly restored. The White Death. The White Death is a naked, gleaming, shifting flood of sand, moving over inland from the ocean shore, inch by inch, foot by foot, in huge white \vaVes of glistening grit, inexorable as fate, silent as the grave, swal- lowing and destroying everything that lies before it in its way. The wind blows the shifting surface up the crest of each tower- ing wave and over the edge in a sparkling mist. Beyond the crest the dry mist falls, and so the wave moves steadily, rasistlessly forward, enveloping all things in anniversal white. Standing at the edge ofa marshy flat, the eye looks far away across the level of coarse sedge-grass to the white line of the sand hills and the black line of pine woods in the distance. Here and there the flat is lush and green, where shallow lakes, blooming with white lilies and blue arrowheads, bathe the arid soil; here and there it is burned yellow and brown, where the hot smooth sand, stretching in from the ocean shore, drinks up water and life, and leaves 6d of small gOId tOI‘WiSCS, "108$ artistically 3,11 dead, Time level fiat, reaching far wrought, which were strung together.
