them at Greenville. Legg, charged with the
crime of abduction, was arrested, and failing

might then be invoked. The commissioner
does not believe in confronting the people
with troops upon every pretext, and he in

toyed with her fan, while her eyes
were looking down from beneath a
jaunty hat that only partially shaded
her face from the light of the silvery
moon.
He stood gracefully on the outside,
with one hand resting on the gate post
and the other tracing unintelllgible
hieroglythics on the panels. They
were looking very sentimental, and
neither spoke for some minutes, until
she broke silence in q sweet, mnsical
voice:
"And you will always think as you
do now, George?"
"Ever, dearest your image is inn
pressed upon my heart SO indelibly
that nothing can ever efface it. Tell
me, Julia, loveliest of your sex, that 1

"Oh, you men are SO deceitful," she
answered, coquettishly.
"True, Julia, men are deceitful," he
said, drawing little nearer to her and
insinuating himself inside the gate,
"but who, darling, could deceive
you?"
"And if 1 were to die, George,
wouldn't you find some one else you
could love as well?"
"Never, never. No woman could
ever fill your place in my heart"
"Oh, quit nowl That amt right,

remove his arms from around her
waist.
"Let me hold you to my heart" he
whispered passionately, .until you

tightly until he obtained the coyeted
boon.

NArURE,s REVENGE.

The Imperial Academy of Sciences
at Vienna has taken up q question in
which all Europe, may be said to be
interested, d,-namely,S the decrease Of
the quantity of water in springs,
streams and rivers A circular, &C.
compauied by an able and instructive
report, has been addressed to scientific
societies in other countries, in the hope
that they may be persuaded to under
take observations which, in course OF
time, may furnish data for practical
use. The Academy calls attention to
the fact that for some years past a
diminutien OF the waters of the Dan
ube and other great rivers has been
noticed, and especially since the mod
ern practice of cutting down forests
without regard to consequences has
prevailed. The Austrian Engineers
and Architects Union have alse taken
the question in hand, and appointed a
Hydrotechnic Committee 10 collect
facts and prepare a report. The Dan
ube, the Elbe, and the Rhine were each
assigned to two members, while other
two were to examine into the meteor
ology of the subject, and into the
influence which glaciers and Alpine
torrents may have on the general re-
suit. The Committee regard the ques-
ton as urgent; they recommend the
immediate adoption Of remedial meas
ures, and they are unanimous in de-
claring that the prime cause of the in
furious decrease of water is the de-
vaslation of the forests. It cannot be
too strongly impressed upon all in the
United Kingdom that the system of
fnjudicious drainage Of agricultural
districts has seriously interfefed with
the natural condition of all our rivers.

FLOUR AND THE TEETH.

The question, "What food is the
healthiest 2" is always listened to with
great interest. A Boston doctor dis.
cusses in an interesting way, in the
Journal of Chemistry, the question
whether -four promotes the decay oil
teeth, and proceeds to show that the
article is deficient in mineral matter.
He says:
"Mr. Sharpless, the well-known
chemist, analyzed for me the Peerless
Flour He found O.55 per cent. o.
mineral ash, little over half Of one
per cent. He stated also that the pro.
portion of ash in the whole grain vari.
ed from Les to ESQ per cent. So that
the dimunition of mineral food varies
from two-thirds to four-fifths. In
other words, by the use of flour man.
kind loses from two-thirds to four
fifths Of the elements that go to make
up teeth and bony structures. This
statement deserves to be written in
letters of gold over the door Of every
bakery and kitchen in the land.
Flour has been used for generations
and il we can rely on Mr.. Sharple's e
statement, mankind has all this time
been deprived Of the greatest moiety
of the mineral foed that the Almighty
intended it should have the benefit of.
Is it not natural to expect that the
bony structures should suffer from
this great Withdrawal? For it is a
great withdrawal" H ti.. .t4s-

In 1916, during the great famine in
Ireland, when SO many thousands of
children were left orphans, the Irish
ladies addressed themselves to the task
of finding occupations by which those
children could earn livelihood
Lady De We're was the first TO start
the project of lace-making,in Curragh,
County Limerick. She began by
teaching the mistress of school the
art of making application flowers,
giving her own brussels laces for pat
terms. The work was SO good as soon
to command high price. 1t is known
as Irish, or Curragh point, and is very
handsome lace, though rarely seen in
America. Since the establishment of
Lady De Vere's school, numbers Of
others have sprung up in various parts
Of Ireland. That at Belfast, founded
by the late Jane Clarke, exhibited in
1851 fine limitations of old Spanish and
Italian points. The Irish lace is very
beautiful. It is made of fax thread,
the groundwork in crochet, into which
are introduced flowers and patterns in
admirable imitation of antique raised
Venice point. Irish Brussels is made
at Clones, County Monaghan; Irish
guipure at Carrickmacross, in the
same county; and the finest Valen-
ciennes, closely resembling the most
beautiful lace of Ypres, is made in the
schools Of the Countess of Erne, at
Lishnakea, County Fermanagh. There
is also a lace-school at Mallon, County
Cork, under the superintendent of
the nuns of a convent.-Netu York

Gen, Carey in reply to Hayes and sherman.
/ In HE speech at Portsmouth,, Gen.
Carey said:
Hayes and Sherman proclaim that
greenbacks were q war necessity, and
we must hasten back to q constitution
al currency-either gold or silver, or
paper currency convertible into coin.
T answer that peace has it's necessities
as well as war. If an enormous debt
can be contracted in a legal-tender
money, other than coin, to keep an
army in the field and furnish it with
supplies, the legal tender may be
properly employed to keep our peace
army at work in the shops and in the
mines, in order that the bondholder
may receive the interest and principal
of his debt. Hayes says that the Ohio
infiationists. as he pleased TO call us'
ad vocate an. uncOnvertible money!
on the ground of expediency- alone.
We deny it. 1t is right as well as ex-
pedient that a supply of greenbacks
adequate to the transaction of business
should be furnished, and the issues of
National banks be withdrawn. Green
backs bought blankets and hard-tack
for our soldiers, and they will buy
bread and clothing for cur starving
workingmen and their families. 1s it
a simple question Of expediency
whether our mechanics and laborers
shall be allowed to earn their money
or depend on soup houses for their
daily rations? But Hayes says green
backs are dishonest money. Then the
soldiers were paid in dishonest money,
the bondholder; purchased his bonds
with dishonest money, and the bonds
are void fer the want of valuable con-
sideration. If greenbacks reengraved
and printed lies, so are the bonds.
