In the Black forest dstrct of Gerany are 1,400 aster clockakera and 6,000 worken. A church bell has an epty nead and a long tongue, but t s dscreet enough not to speak untl tolled. The sultan has forbdden the Turksh war departent to use balloons or carrer pgeons for ary purposes A French naturalst asserts that nghtngales devour the drones of a beehve, and never attack the workers. A nt s to be establshed,-canada for the. conage of gold. Heretofore the conng of the etallc currency has been done n England. An offcal ap of Vesuvus on a ecale of one n ten thousand has just been ssued, beng the frst snce 1S76. A new plan n relef of the cone has also been ade. A waggsh stranger coplaned to the polce of Salnd, Kansas, that a resdent of that town had fleeced h out of a forty-dollar bll. After the polce had spent a day BuntlngTor the rogue, and fnally located the suspectsd an, t suddenly dawned upon the sleuths that there are no forty-dollar 'blls. There are few people who declne an Increase of salary, but the Rev. George C. Lorer,pastor of the Treont Teple n Boston, s one of the few. s congregaton recently voted h an ncrease of 51,000 a year, but he has declned the ncrease, statng that hs present salary of $7,000 a year s qute enough. A collecton of poltcal curostes Would properly nclude Presdent Perce's cabnet, the only one n the hstory of the country whch reaned unchanged durng th«four years of an adnstraton. It s rearkable that the cabnet of'lord Salsbury, whch conssted of nneteen ebers.had not suffered a sngle change n the fve years snce the suer of 1895, when the present governent took offce. In soe grottoes n Algera French explorers have recently dscovered stone pleents ngled wth the reans of extnct anals belongng to Quaternary tes. Further exploratons ndcate that durng the age when grottoes were nhabted the coast of Algera had a confguraton dfferent fro that of today. Aong the anals assocated wth the ancent huan nhabtants of Algera were the rhnoceros, the hppopotaus, and varous speces of runants. "The Brght Sde of Huanty." n new book by Dr. Edward Legh Pell, s sad to b}3 the frst serous attept that has ever been ade to present tho characterstc noble trats of all races. In the preparaton of hs book Dr. Pell exaned one thousand works of travel and although all of the sst forth-, wth consderable detal the vces and dsagreeable trats of the people whch they profess to descrbe, cuy two hundred dwelt at any length on ther vrtues. To supply the copensatory hgh lghts n these dark pctures was a happy thought and ust have been a pleasant task. a Lttle has been sad, and probably as. lttle thought, of the benefcent work done by the ralroads n adng and prootng the easures set on foot for the relef of strcken Galveston. Thousands of refugees fro that cty receved free transportaton to any part of the country, and ense quanttes of supples were rushed forward wthout charge". Ths ready re-. sponse to the cry of huan needs characterzed all the great ralway systes of the country, the express telegraph, and telephone copanas. The cash value of the servces thue rendered s as possble to estate as tho aount of huan sufferng and sery they helped to allevate. One of the ost pecular sut3 at law ever brought before any court s soon to toe tred n Van Buren county, Mchgan, between two neghbors and old frends. One of the en, H. D. Burrell of South Haven, keeps about sxty colones of bees. The other s a peach grower. A few onths ajgo' the latter coplaned of the forers bees destroyng the early Crawford peaches, clang that the bees cae nto hs orchafd n large nubers, bt holes n the frut and rendered t unarketable for whch he deanded $200.

(Copyrght* W00, Lous Klopech. N. T.) In ths dscourse Dr. Talage follows Joshua on hs truphal arch and speaks encouragng words to all who.are engaged. In the battle J? _tsj.. lfe; text, Joshua 1, 5, "There ahalfnot any an be able to stand before thee all the days of thy lfe." Moses was dead. A beautful tradton says the Lord kssed h and n that act drew forth the soul of the dyng lawgver. He had been bured, only one'person at the funeral, the sae one who kssed h. But Ood never takes a an away fro any place of usefulness untl he has soe one ready to replace h. The Lord does not go lookng around ad a great varety of canddates o fnd soe one especally ftted for the vacated poston. He akes a an for that place. Moses has passed off the stage, and. Joshua, the hero, puts hs foot on the platfor of hstory so soldly that all the ages echo wth the tread. He wa3 a agnfcent fghter, but he always fought on the rght sde, and he never fought unless God told h to fght. He got hs ltary equpent fro God, who gave h the prose at ths start, "There shall not any an be able to-stand before thee-all the days of thy lfe." God fulflled ths prose, although Joshua's frst battle was wth the sprng freshet, the next wth a stone wall, the next leadng on a regent of whpped cowards and the next battlng aganst darkness, wheelng the sun and the oon nto h3 battalon, and the last aganst the kng of terrors, death fve groat vctores. No Gonjr Backward. As the hand of the Lord God s taken away fro the thus uplfted waters waters perhaps unlfted half a le they rush down, and soe of the unbelevng Israeltes say: "Alas, alas, what a sfortune! Why could not those waters have stad parted? Because perhaps we ay want to go back. O Lord, we are engaged n a rsky busness. Those Canaantes ay eat us up. How f we want to go back? Would t not have been a ore coplete racle f the Lord had parted the waters to let us coe through and kept the...parted to let us go back f we are defeated?" My frends, God akes no provson for a Chrstan retreat. He clears the path all the way to Canaan. To go back s to de. The sae gatekeepers that swung back the aethystne and crystallne gate of the Jordan to let Israel pass through now swung shut the aethystne and crystallne gate of the Jordan to keep the Israeltes fro gong back. Vctory ahead, but water 30 feet deep behnd, surgng to death and darkness and woe. But you say, "Why dd not these Canaante3, when they had such a splendd chance. standng ou the top of the bank 30 or 40 f;et hgh, copletely deolsh those poor Israeltes down n the rver?" I wll tell you why. God had ade a prose, and ho was gong to keep t. "There shall not any an be able to stanj before thee all the days of thy lfe." But ths s no place for the host to Etop. Jcshua gves the coand, "Forward, arch!" In the dstance there s a long groyo of trees, and at the end of the grove Is a cty. It s a cty wth arbors, a cty wth walls seeng to reach to the heavens, to buttress the very sky. It s the great etropols that coando the ountan pass. It s Jercho. That cty was afterward captured by Popey and ones by Herod th«great and once agan by the Mohaedans, but ths capagn the Lord plans. There shall be no swords, no sbrkx no batterng ra. There shall be only one weapon of war and that a ran's horn. Tho horn of the slan ra was soetes taken, and holes were punctured n t, and then the uscan would put the nstruent to hs lps, and he would run hs fngers ovev ths rudeuscal nstruent and r.'rlte. a great deal of sweet harony for the people. That was the only knd of weapon. Seven prests were to take t'c33 ruda, rustc uscal nstruents, and they were to go around the cty evety day for sx days one a day for sx days and then one the seventh day they were to go around blowng these rude uscal nstruents seven tes, a then at the close of the seventh blowng of the ra's horns on the seventh day the peroraton of the whole scene was to be a shout, at whch those great walls should tuble fro capstone to base. Vctory poho rfefoat. The seren prests wth the rude uscal Instruents pass all around the cty wall* on the frst day and score a falure. No so uch «*'< a pece of plaster broke loose fro the wall, not so uch as a loosened rock, not *0* uch t* pece or ortar log? fro far place.- "There* cay the unbelevng Israeltes, "dd I not tell you»0? Why, those ululate* are foau, The dea of gong around the cty wth those uscal Instruent* and expect* log n that way to deatroy t Joshua/ has been spol*! ' He thnks because he has overthrown and conquered the sprng freshet he can overthrow the stone wall. Why, t s not phlosophc. Do you sot see there s no relaton between the blowng of these uscal nstruents and the knockng down of the wall? It s not phlosophc." And I suppose there were any wseacres who stood wth ther brows kntted and wth the forefnger of the rght hand to the forefnger of the left hand argung It all out and showng that t was not possble that such a cause could produce such an effect And I suppose that nght n tho encapent there was plenty of carcature, and f Joshua had been nonated for any hgh ltary poston he would not have receved any votes. Joshua's stock wab down. The second day the prests blowng the uscal nstruents go around the cty and agan a falure. The thrd day and a falure, tho fourth day and a falure, ffth day and a falure, sxth day and a falure. The seventh day coes, the clacterc day. Joshua s up early n the ornng and exanes the troops, whles all about, looks at the cty wall. The prests start to ake the crcut of the cty. They go all around ono, all around twce, threa tes, four tes, fve tes, sx to3, seven te3, and a falure. There s only one ore thng to do, and that Is to utter a great shout. I see the IsraeHtsh - ary straghtenng theselves up, fllng ther lungs for a vocferaton such as never was heard before and never heard after. Joshua feels that the hour has coe, and he cres out to hs host, "Shout, for the Lord hath gven you the cty." All together the troops shout: "Down, Jercho! Down Jercho!" And the long lne of sold asonry begns to quver and to ove and to rock. Stand fro under! She falls! Crash go the wal s and teples, the towers, the palace3, the ar blackened wth tho dust. The huzza of the vctorous Israeltes and the groan of the conquered Canaanltss congle, and Joshua, standng there n the debrs of the walls/ hears a voce sayng, "There shall not any an be able to stand before thee all the days of thy lfe.", T Savor'* Delverance. Only one house spared. Who lve3 there? Soe great kng? Ko. Soe woan dstngushed for great kndly deeds? No» She had been conspcuous for her cres. It s the house of Rahab. Why was her house spared? Because she had been a great snner? No, but because she repented, deonstratng to all the ages that there s ercy for the chef of snners. The red cord of dvne njuncton reachng fro her wndow to the groundrsso that when the people eaw the red cord they knew t was the dvne ndcaton that they should not dsturb the preses, akng us thnk of the dvne cord cf a Savor's delverance, the red cord of a Savor's kndness, the red curd of a Savor's ercy,.the red cord of our rescue. Mercy for the chef of snners. Put your trust n that God, and no daage shall befall you. When our world shall be oro terrbly surrounded than was Jercho,! even by the trupets of the judgent day and the hlls and the ountans, the etal bones and rbs of nature shall break, they who have had Rahab's fath shall have Rahab's d3lverance. When wrapped n Arc the reals of ether glow And heaven's last thunder shakes the earth below Thou, undsayed, shalt o'er t-e run? sle And lght thy torch at nature's fur.*- ral ple. But Joshua's troops ay not halt here. The coand s, "Forward, arch!" There s tne cty of A. It ust be taken. How shall t be taken? A scoutng party coes back and says: Joshua, we can do that wthout you. It s gong to be a very easy job. You ust stay here whle we go and capture t." They arch wth a sall regent n front - of that cty. The en of A look at the and gve one yell, and the Israeltes run lke rendeer. The northern troops at Bull Run dd not ake such rapd te as theso Israeltes wth the Canaantes after the. They never cut such a sorry fgure as when they were on the retreat. You who go out n the battles of God wth only half a force Instead of your takng the en of A the en of A wll take you. Look at the church of God on the retreat. The Borneslan cannbals ate up Munson, the ssonary. "Fall back!" sad a great any Chrstan people, "Fall back, O church of God! Borneo wll nevor be taker.. Do you not see the Borneslan cannbals have ca!en up Munson, tho ssonary?" Tyndall delvers hs lecture at the Unversty of Glasgow, and a great any good people aay: "Fall back, O church of Gcd! Do you not see that Chrstan phlosophy s gong to be overcoe by worldly phlosophy? Fall back?" Oeo!o# pl.nccs ls crowbar lztd the o-a- tans, and there tre a great &ay po> ps who say:, "Scentfc Investgaton s gong to over throw the Mosac as* c«unt of the creaton. Fall bsclt!" 0«a*«CoMws MWt Adr»o«e» But frends of Go4 never hays bad any.rght to fall back. Joshua falls on he face n oaajrtt. It Is the only.te you ever see the back of Ms hest; He falls on hs face and begns to whne, and he says, "O Lord Cod, wherefore hast thou at all brought ths people over Jordan to delver us nto the hands of the Aorttes, to destroy us? Would to Ood we had been content and dwelt, on the other sde of Jordan. Far the Canaantes and all the nhabtants of the land shall hear of It and shall envron us round and cut off our nae fro the earth." I a very glad Joshua sad that Be.'ore It seeed as f he were a supernatural beng and therefore could not be an exaple to us, but I fnd he s a an, he s only a an. Just as soetes you fnd a an under severe opposton or n a bod state of physcal health, or worn out wth overwork, lyng down and sghng about beng defeated. I a encouraged when I hear ths cry of Joshua as he les n the dust God coes and rouses h. How does he rouse h? By coplentary apostrophe? No. He says, "Get thee up. Wherefore llcst thou upon thy face?" Joshua rses, and, I warrant you, wth a ortfed look. But hs old courage coes back. The fact was that was not hs.battle. If he had been n It he would have gone on to vctory. Ho gathers hs troops around h and says: "Now, let us go up and capture the cty of A. Let us" go up rght away?' They nafrtr on. He puts the ajorty of the troops behnd a ledge of rocks In the" nght, and then he ssnds coparatvely sall regents up n front of the cty. The en of A coe out wth a shout. Th3 sall regents of Israeltes n stratage fall back, and fall >back, and when all the en of A have left the cty and are n pursut of these scattered, or seengly scattered, regents, Jcshua stands on a rock I see hs locks flyng n the wnd as he ponts hs spear toward the dooed cty, and that s the sgnal. The en rush out fro behnd the rocks and take the cty, and t s put to the torch, and then these Israeltes n the elty arch down, and the flyng Israeltes return, and between these two waves of Israeltsh prowess the en of AI are destroyed, and the Israeltes gan the vctory; and whle I see the curlng soke of that destroyed cty on the sky, and whle I hear the huzza of the Israeltes and the groan of the Canaantes, Joshua hears soethng loader than t all, rngng and echong through hs soul, "There shall not any an be able to stand before thee all the days of thy lfe." No Place to Stop. But ths s no place for tho host of Joshua to stop. "Forward, arch!" cres Joshua to the troops. There 3 the cty of Gbeon. It has put tself under the protecton of Joshua. They send word: "There are fve kngs after us. They are gong to destroy us. Send troops quck. Send us help rght away." Joshua has a three day's arch, ore thar double o.uck. On the ornng of the thrd day he s before the eney. There are two long lnes of battle. Tho battle opens wth great slaughter, but the Canaantes soon dscover soethng. They say: "That s Joshua. That s the an who conquered the sprng freshet and knocked down the stone walls of Jercho and destroyed the cty of A. There s no uso fghtng." They sound a retreat, and as they begn to retreat Joshua and hs host sprng upon the lke a panther, pursung the over the rocks, whle the catapults of the sky pour a volley of halstones nto the valley, and all the artllery of the heavens, wth bullets of ron, pound the Canaantes aganst tho ledge3 of Bethhoron. "Oh," says Joshua, "ths s surely a vctory!" "But do you not see the sun s gong down? Those Aortes are gong to get away after all, and then they wll coe up eoe ether te and bother us. ard perhaps destroy us. See, the sun Is gong down. Oh. for a longer,day than has ever been seen n ths'clate!" Look out when a good an akes the Lord hs ally. Joshua n*-'se3 he face, radant wth prayer, and looks at the descendng sun oyer Gbeon and at the fant crescent of the oon, for you know the cueen of the nght soetes wll lnger around the.palaces of the day. Pontng one hand at the descendng sun and tho other at the fant crescent of tho oon, n the nae of that God who shaped the worlds and oves tho worlds he cres: "Sun, stand thou stll upon Gbson, and thou, ocn, n the valley of AJalon!" They halted. Whether t was by refracton of the sun's rays or by the stoppng of the whole planetary syste I do not know and do not care. I leave It to the Chrstan Scentsts a'nd the Infdel scentsts to settle that queston, whle I tell you I have seen the sae thng. "What?" say you. "Not the sun standng stll?" YOJ. The sae racle Is perfored nowadays. The wcked do not lve out ha'f, ther day, and ther gua nu at noon. >?'

Round the skrts of the vauey (whch Is qute level and paved throughout wth flat tles) extends a contnuous row of 60 lttle houses. These, hatng ther hacks on the hlls, ust look of course to the center of the plan, whch s just GO yards fro the front door of each dwellng. Every house has a sall garden before t. wth a crcular path, a sundal and 24 cabbages. The buldngs theselves are so precsely alke that one can n no anner be dstngushed fro the other. Owng to the vast antquty, the style of archtecture Is soewhat odd, but t s not for that reason the less strkngly pcturesque. They are fashoned of hard burned lttle brcks, red, wth black ends, so that the walls look lke a chessboard upon a great scale. The gables are turned to the front, and there are cornces, as bg as all the rest of the house, over the eaves and over the an doors. The wndows are narrpw and deep, wth very tny panes and a great deal of sash. On the roof s a vast quantty of tles wth-long, cnrly eara. The woodwork throughout s of a dark hue, and there Is uch carvng about t, wth but a trflng varety of patterns, for te out of nd the carvers of Vondervottelttss have never been able to carve ore than two objects a tepece and a cabbage. But these they do exceedngly well and ntersperse the wth sngular ngenuty wherever they fnd roo for the chsel. The dwellngs are as uch alke nsde as out, and the furnture s all upon one plan. The floors are of square tles, the chalrand tables of black lookng wood, wth thn, crooked legs and puppy feet The antelpeces are wde and hgh and have not only tepeces and cabbages sculptured over the front but a real tepece, whch akes a prodgous tckng, on the top, n the ddle, wth a flowerpot contanng a cabbage standng on each extrety by way of outrder. Between each cabbage and the tepece, agan, s a lttle chna an havng a large stoach wth a great round hole In t, through whch s seen the dal plate of a watch.

Lke the, he has a watch, but he carres hs watch n hs pocket. To say the truth, he has soethng of ore portance than a watch to attend to and what that s I shall presently explan. He sts wth Ms rght leg upon hs left knee, wears a grave countenance and always keeps one of hs eyes, at least resolutely bent upon a certan rearkable object n the center of the plan. Ths object s stuated n the steeple o*~tfae~k>use~ ottee town councl. The town councl are all very, lttle, round, oly, ntellgent en, wth bg saucer eyes and fat double chns, and have ther coats uch longer and ther shoe buckles uch bgger than the ordnary nhabtants of Vondervottelttlss. Snce y sojourn n the borough, they have had several specal eetngs, and have adopted these three portant resolutons: "That t s wrong to alter the good old course of thngs. "That there Is nothng tolerable out of Vondervottelttlss, and "That we wll stck by our clocks and our cabbages." Above the sesson roo of the coun> cl s the steeple, and n the steeple Is the belfry, where exsts and has exsted te out of nd, the prde and wonder of the vllage the great clock of the borough of Vondervottelttlss. And ths s the object to whch the eyes of the old gentleen are turned who st n the leather bottoed archars. The great clock has seven faces, one In each of the seven sdes of the steeple, so that t can be readly seen fro all quarters. Its faces are large and whte and ts hands heavy and black. There s a belfryan, whose sole duty Is to attend to t. But ths duty s the ost perfect of snecures, for the clock of Vondervottelttlss was never yet known to have anythng the atter wth, t. Untl lately the bare supposlton of such a thng was consdered heretcal. Fro the reotest perod of antquty to whch the archves have reference the hours have been regularly struck by the bg bell. And ndeed the case was just the sae wth all the other clocks and watches n the borough. Never was such a place for keepng the true te. When the large clapper thought proper to say "12 o'clock!" all ts obedent followers opened ther throats sultaneously and responded lke a very echo. ID short, the good burghers were fond of ther sauerkraut but then they were proud of ther clocks. All people who hold snecure offces are held n ore or less respect and, as the belfryan of Vondervottelttlss has the ost perfect of snecures, he s the ost perfectly respected of any an n the world. He s the chef dgntary of the borough, and the very pgs look up to h wth a sentent of reverence. Hs coattall Is very far longer, hs ppe,,hs shoe buckles, hs eyes and hs stoach are,very far bgger, than to*e of any other old gentlean n the vllage. And as to hs chn, t s not only double, but trple. I have thus panted the happy estate of Vondervottelttlss. Alas, that to far a pcture should ever experence a reverse! There has been long a sayng aong the wsest nhabtants that "no good can coe fro over the hlls." And t really seeed that the words had In the soethng of the sprt of prophecy.

But nwardly she rejoced that the- woan she had felt was her superor had not always lved above-reproach. The knowledge pro* Ueda certan hold upon her, and n ter anner toward Gladys when next rrl7 they jaethere was * hnt of power and a easure of (contept the latter found t hard to bear., Harvey's deeanor, too, had altered. Star days.he looked pale and grave. Although perfectly respectable to hs other he-spoke to her as seldo as possble, addressng ost of hs rearks, when vthe lttle faly et at table, to -hswfe. Gladys sypathzed wth hs ood, and wated patently for t to pasg. She knew how galled he proud sprt ust be; stll, as the onotonous days crawled by, brngng no change, she began to feel very lonely. She would have consoled herself wth the baby had she been allowed to do so, but Helen had her own deas, wse ones, all of the, on the subject of chld rearng. It ade an nfant precocous, she sad, to notce the too uch; hs Intellect should be allowed to develop gradually. As for the Inane nonsense called baby talk, no chld of hers should lsten to It. Good Englsh was just as sple and far ore sensble. And Gladys, who would have cooed the sweet other jargon by the hour, all the world forgettng save the slng te n her ars, knew that a reproof was ntended, and acceptng t, loft Harvey's baby to Harvey's wfe. Had she been a strong-nded woan she would have have rsen above her trals and found happness n her own occupatons; but she was.only a gentle, clngng creature to who love was as the breath of lfe. That gone, nothng reaned. She wondered soetes how Harvey, even though dspleased, could neglect her BO. In the past they had been everythng to each other. Now he seldo gave her a thought; hs wfe was hs all n all. Helen's coldness dd not hurt her; she was not of her blood, and she had no cla on her affecton; but she had gven~her lfe to Harvey, and hs ndfference was hard to bear. One cold, rany day Phebe found her cryng n her prvate parlor, whch wa3 dvded, fro her sleepng and dressng roos.by a wde hall. The curtans were drawn and the spacous apartent usually so pretty n Its tnts of crson and blue seeed cod and glooy. CHAPTER IV. The housekeeper sad not a word, hut went to the wndow and threw hack the curtans, then touched a atch.to the wood lad ready n the grate. The flaes leaped forth as f $a$l to escape fro ther resnous prson, akng gltterng reflectons n the polshed tles and fllng every corner wth,a.rosy glow. Phebe roled her stress'.favorte char to the hearth. "Coe.and st here, Mss Gladys, whle J get.you a cup of coffee. It wll war you up.

He had just taken hs place at the table when she entered, a charng vson n pale pnk and whte, and he sled nvoluntarly. "Why, how lovely we are ths evenng! " he exclaed. Helen darted at h a dsapprovng look; but the pleasant words had escaped, and Gladys was respondng to the In knd as she took her place at hs rght She had long ago gven Helen the head of the table. She coveted t, and Harvey was pleased to see her there, and she herself cared nothng for petty dfstnctons. The conversaton oved on pleasantly, f a trfle haltngly, and presently Gladys ahhounced her ntenton of nvtng Mr. and Mrs. Barr and one or two other frends to dnner. "I had thought of next Tuesday, Harvey, f you and Helen are dsengaged for that evenng," she sad. "We are, as far as I know," he answered, glancng at hs wfe. Helen dd not respond. She was dspleased that Mrs. Atherton should conteplate entertafnng copany at all, and doubly so that she had addressed her queston to Harvey nstead of to herself, and went on eatng her dnner n her usual delberate way. She had a fne appette, and took excellent care of her dgeston, a3 a wse young woan should. "Then we'll say Tuesday evenng," sad Gladys, all unconscous of what was passng n Helen's nd, and stakng her slence for acquescence, she regarded the atter as settled. t was not untl the very day of the dnner that she dscovered her error. By ths te she and Harvey were on ther old ters agan, the coolness between the apparently forgotten. Helen's anner never relaxed; she had her own grevances and resented the n her own way. Gladys, however, gave no evdence that she observed anythng ass. "I a sure you wll lke Mrs. Barr, Helen/' she sad at breakfast on Tuesday, hopng to draw the younger woan nto conversaton, tor her persstent lack of nterest n any talk n whch she was not drectly ncluded was Irksoe. "She Is a grl after your own style an excellent daughter, now a capable wfe. I hope you wll becoe frends." "Thank you," sad Helen, n wntry tones. "I a not a belever n arred woen's frendshps. My husband and y chld suffce for e. A woan's hoe should.be..her kngdo." provng; sle wth whch he always applauded her borrowed phrases, as though every word were a nugget of wsdo fresh fro the ne, and added a trfle less delberately: "I dslke strangers, aud care nothng for socal pleasures, so I can not truthfully say I a sorry I shall not eet Mrs. Barr ths evenng." "What do you ean, Nell? Have you forgotten she s to coe here to dnner?" "No; but you and I are to dne at father's. I prosed h ten days ago." Helen spoke cally, though her color flckered as she encountered Harvey's astonshed stare. Gladys, too, looked surprsed. "My dear grl," Harvey burst out "why n the world dd you not tell the ater so when she was akng arrangeents for her dnner?" "Because she dd not consult e. She addressed you, and took t for granted I had no engageents. I never offer unsolcted nforaton.'* Gladys saw an onous look n Harvey's eyes, and rose hastly. She had no desre to wtness a atronal squabble. "It s not of the least consequence, Harvey. I should lke Helen to eet Mrs. Barr, who has a great deal of socal Influence, but there wll be plenty of opportuntes for her to do so n the future, as 1 ntend to open the house to y frends agan. I have been lvng too quetly of late." She looked.full at Helen, and there was a touch of defance n the anner of both. "Do not gv,ths lttle sunderstandng a thought I shall not; for t sn't worth t" She had left the roo before the last word was uttered, and ran lghtly down the pktxsa steps to the garden. "What a woan!" she thought "What a hard, narrow, revengeful, sullen woan! Poor Harvey! I hope he ay contnue.blnd to the end. It s hs osy chance for happness. She aeed not have been concerned, tor Harvey. Already Helen, her ars about hs sjfck, her voce broken wth eoton, woe akng her cause good; 1*1 She glflpq P» Hnrvpy fr th» npaud although he could not see exactly where Gladys had erred, he was.soon convnced that hs wfe had bees tral* *B*dy nsulted, and was grevously hurt n eonsejquence, J$p«ho# could have been further fro the truth tthan ether convcton; but Easng Into tedaettve eyes, tear drenched, pressng war, red lps coverng wth obey few- en are wse enough to dscrnate between the chastenng dews of sorrow and the btter waters of spte or 'envy.".."..- Gladys' dnner was a success. She felt Helen's Absence to be a, relef. It seeed pleasant to have the house to hjsrself agan, -and to st. at the head of her own table. 8he threw off her sadness and "becae the charng, frvolous Gladys every one petted and loved. Her guests lngered late. Long after Harvey and Helen had retred the sound of ther voces rang through the house, and Helen coplaned next day at breakfast that baby was fretful and unwell, havng been robbed of hs sleep the nght prevous. Mrs. Atherton ade no answer to ths plant. She had dscovered that Harvey'8 genalty had vanshed, and hs anner toward her was cold. She dvned the reason for the change, and whle resentng hs Injustce was hurt by t. She could retan hs favor only by subttng to hs wfe's caprces, t seeed: 'Her long years of devoton counted for nothng; all was forgotten when ths woan, between ksses, accused her of soe petty eanne33 ot whch she was ncapable. How dared he lsten to charges so unjust? Before the eal was half over she rose fro the table wth a sudden hot anger that dsayed her, for she had never felt anythng lke t before. She realzed that she should end by hatng Helen and despsng Harvey; a ateral love that, crushes out all purer affectons degrades a an; not even the sacraent of arrage can render t holy. She rode further than usual that day, and was overtaken by one of the volent thunder stors pecular to the season. She cae hoe drenched and shverng wth cold. Phebe, who was watng for her on.a sde veranda wth a thck shawl, alost carred her to her roo, and wthout cereony undressed and put her to bed. "We shall have you down wth a fever next," she grubled. "You were about ready for t before." Gladys, strangely nert, langudly opened her eyes. '"f I a 111, Phebe, and I fear I a gong to be, no one ust wat on e but you. I ay be delrous and talk. Keep Harvey out of the roo at all hazards. Poor boy! If he should learn the truth " "It would put h just where he deserves to he put" sad Phebe, her soulderng anger aganst the arred couple kndled nto a flae by Gladys' condton. "But don't fret, deare; I'll do as you say. Shall I gve* the keys to Mrs. Karvey?" she added, feelng that her stress was very ll already. "Yes; t wll keep her out of your way," sad Gladys wth a fant sle. Then her eyes~cosed agahr-and-shesank nto a troubled sleep." Next ornng she was tossng wth fever,' and for three onths knew nothng of what was gong on around her. One brght October day she opened her eyes and looked searchngly nto Phebe's face. The fathful woan, weared by her long vgls, was noddng n her char by the bedsde. "Why;Phebe, how thn you are!" sho exclaed n a weak voce. Phebe started up wth a stfled cry. "Oh, y lab, y lab, thank God you've coe back to us agan!" she sad, tears streang fro her eyes. "Why, haw long have I been here?" Gladys asked. "Fourteen weeks." "Fourteen weeks!" She lay thnkng the wonderful fact over, then turned to Phebe wth her own erry sle. "And haveu't you gven e anythng to eat n all that te,'you Cruel woan? I a fashng." {To be contnued.)

By the te that ft wanted only three nutes to coon the droll object In queston was perceved to be a very dnutve, foregn lookng young an. He descended the hlls at a great rate, so that everybody had soon a good look at h. He was really the ost fncky lttle personage that had ever been seen In Vondevottottlss. Hs countenance was of a dark snuff color, and he h«d a long hooked nose, pea eyes, a wde outh n;d an excellent set-of-teethv vh-teh latter-e-sfoulott anxous of dsplayng, as he was grnnng fro oar to ear. What wth ustachos and whskers, there was none of the rest of hs face to be seen. Hs head was uncovered and hs har neatly dore up n papllotes. Hs dress was a tght fttng swallow taled black ront. fro one of whose pockets dan gled a vast length of whte handkerchef: black kerseyere knee breeches, black stockngs and stupy lookng pups, wth huge bunches of black satn rbbon for bows. Under one ar he carred a huge chapeau-de-bras and under, the other a fddle nearly fve tes as bg as hself. In hs left hand was a gold snuffbox, fro whch, as he capered down the hll, cuttng all anner of fantastcal steps, he took snuff Incessantly wth an ar of the f greatest possble self satsfacton. God bless e! Here was a sght for the honesf burghers of Vondervottet* tss! To speak planly, the fellow had, n spte of hs grnnng, an audacous and snster knd of face, and as be curvetted rght nto the vllage the old tupy appearance of hs pups ex cted no Ottle suspcon, and any a burgher who beheld h that day[ would have gven a trfle for a peep beneath the whte cabrc handkerchef whch hung so obtrusvely fro the pocket of hs swallow taled coat. Bu what anly occasoned a rghteous ndgnaton was that the scoundrelly pop lnjay, whle he cut a fandango here and a whrlgg there, dd not see to have the reotest dea n the world o such a thng s keepng te n hs steps. The good people of the borough had scarcely a chance, however, to get ther eyes thoroughly open, when, just as t wanted half a nute of noon, the rascal bounced, as I say, rght nto the dst of the; gave a chassez here, and a balancez there, and then, after a prouette and a pas-de-zephyr, pgeon wnged hself rght np Into the belfry of the house of the town councl, where the wonder strcken befryan sat sokng In a state of dgnty and dsay. But the lttle chap sezed h at once bj the nose, gave t "a swng and a pull, clapped the bg chapeau-de-bras upon h* head, knock*. ed It down over hs eyes and onth. and then, ltfttout w> the bg fddle. no at urn w.:a tso toug and so *ountt ly that what wth the, befryan bej log so fat -and the fddle beng so hollow, you woum have sworn that thees waa a regent of double basa druers all beatng the devl's tattoo up n the belfry of the steeple of Vonder* vottellttas. There s no knowng to what desperate act of vengeance hs unprncpled attack ght have aroused the nhabtants but'for the Iportant fact that t now wanted. only half a second of noon. The bell was about to strke, and t was a atter of absolute and] pre-enent necessty that everybody should look well at hs watch. It was evdent, however, that just at ths oent the fellow n the steeple was dong soethng that he bad no busness to do wth the clock. But, as t now began to strke, nobody had any te to attend to hs aneuvers* for they had all to count the strokes of the bell as t sounded. "One!" sad the clock. "Von!" echoed every lttle old gentlean n every leather bottoed archar n Vondervottettss "Von!" sad hs watch also; "Von!" sad % the watch of hs vrow, and "Von!" sad the watche's of the boys and the lttle repeaters on the taua of-the cat and Pg. "Two!" contnued the bg bell, and "Doo!" repeated all the repeaters. "Three! Four! Fve! Ss! Seven! Eght! Nne! Ten!" sad the bell. "Dree! Vour! Flbe! Sax! Seben! Alght! Nen! Den!" answered the others. "Eleven!"' sad the bg one.? "Eleben!" assented the lttle fellow. "Twelve!" sad the bell. "Dvelf!" they repled, perfectly satsfled and droppng ther voces. "Und dvelf t ss!" sad all the lttle old gentleen, puttng up ther watches. But the bg bell had not done wth the yet. "Thrteen!" sad he. "Der teufel!" gasped the lttle gentleen, turnng pale, droppng ther ppes and puttng down all ther rght legs fro over ther left knees. "Der teufel!" groaned they. "Drteen! Dtrteen! Men Gott t s drteen o'clock!" Why attept to descrbe the terrble scene whch ensued? All Vondervottettss flew at once nto a laentable state of uproar. "Vot s cu'd to en pelly?" roared all the boys. "I've been ongry for ds hour!" "Vot s cu'd to en kraut?" screaed all the vrows. "It has been done to rags for ds hour!" "Vot s cu'd to en ppe?" swore all the lttle old gentleen. "Donder and bltzen! It has been soked out for ds hour!" And they flled the up agan n a great rage and, snkng back n ther archars, puffed away so fast and so fercely that the whole valley was Iedately flled wth penetrable soke. Meante the cabbages all turned very red n the face, and It seeed as f old Nck hself had taken possesson of everythng In the shape of a tlepjhecev_the "clocks carved upon the" furnture took to dancng, as f bewtched, whle those upon the antelpeces could scarcely contan theselves for fury and kept such a contnual strkng of 13 and such a frskng and wrgglng of ther pendulus as was really horrble to see. But. worse than all, nether the cats nor the pgs could put up any longer wth the behavor of the lttle repeaters ted to ther tals and resented t by scaperng all over the place, scratchng and pokng and squeakng and screechng and caterwaulng and squallng and flyng nto the faces and runnng under the pettcoats of the people, and creatng altogether the ost abonable dn and confuson whch It s possble for a reasonable person to conceve.

Speakng on the proble of cty noses, especally those whch ake nght hdeous, the Westnster Revew says: "When preventable noses nvade the hours of sleep, the atter becoes serous, for n ths busy, bar* asslng lfe sound rest at nght s an essental to the antenance of the workng powers. "One of the ost alarng concotants of odern cvlzaton Is the ncreasng prevalence of lunacy aud other nervous dseases.
