Assurances, argument, entreaty were
all lost on Judge Copeland. He listened
with no show OF Impotence, but with
compressed lips and mistaken firmness.
In despair Gayl went from him to Maud
and we have seen the result of the inter-
view. An hour later he stood again in
the presence of her parent.
Mr.. Copeland" he said, III have just
been urging your daughter to exercise
the right which the law gives her-she
being of age-and marry me without
YOUR consent.
"Ah - replied the Judge, watching him
curiously from beneath his Overhanging
brows. "And with what RESULT"

me back to my senses by a display of her

ask your pardon, as asked hers, for APP

Gayl looked squarely into the Judges
face while speaking. The faintest trace
of q grim smile stirred the grizzled
moustache of the parent at the announce
ment of his daughters loyalty, and his
ewes contracted speculatively as Gayl ex-
pressed his determination to win her.

Dressing the Hair.

In wearing the hair there is little change
worth chronicling: l am happy. to say
that the absurd and highly unbecoming
style of parting the hair on the side is fast
falling into disuse. A stylish mode of ar
ranging the hair is to wave it in front and
draw it loosely back from the temples
The short hair in front falls in loose curls
over the forehead. A large braid of cable
plaits is banded across the head and falls
low on the back of the neck and near the
ears. The empty space in the back is
filled in with putfs of the wearer's own
hair. Another pretty style is to comb the
hair smoothly back, allowing the short
hair in front to lie in a little undulating
band across the forehead. Half of the
hair is arranged in finger puffs. Two
long ones lie IN line with the parting,
and a third lies over them in the centre.
The remainder of the hair may be also
disposed in tinger-pufs, or made into a
few large curls, or it may hang to the
waist in one of the long nets fast coming
into general use. They are of silk net.
ting, very coarse strands, and the meshes
almost an inch square usually; often they
are larger still. 1t is a curious fact that
they are most worn by Cuban ladies. In
one hours walk on Broadway this after
noon I encountered eight. The nets come
in all the new shades, but the two most
worn are cream and cardinal. They are
intended to harmonic or contrast with the
rest of the toilette.-N. 2. Cor. Chicago

Thresh Grain Early in the Sc ason.

i, IS not commendable practice to de-
fer threshing wheat, oats and rye until the
latter part of winter. The sooner grain
can be threshed, after all the work in, the
fields has been finished, the less will be
the waste of grain. Whether the grain is
stacked out of doors or is slowed away in
a good barn, the interests of the owner re-
quire that it should not remain in that
condition very long. If out of doors the
weather, to which it is constantly and in
evitably exposed, will injure the quality
of all on the top and outside of the stacks.
If threshed early it can be sold any time,
but if not threshed the best figures may be
lost on account Of the delay which will be
inevitable about getting ii to market. But
a still stronger reason is found in the in
jury to. which unthreshed grain is con-
stantly exposed from the depreciation of
rats. These miserable pirates infest the
great majority of barns in which grain is
stored, and the amount of mischief which
a horde of them will do in an ordinary
season is almost beyond belief. Not only
will they destroy a great deal of grain,
but they injure more than they consume.
The straw will be damaged as well as the
grain, and NOW of wheat or oats in
which q colony of rats have been domi-
ciled all winter, will, in the spring, be
rendered unfit for any purpose except
manure. just as long as the enemy is
harbored and fed, just SO long will he be
actively engaged in destroying the results
of our labor in the fields. If all farmers
would thresh their grain early in the sea-

The Lost Darling.

THURSDAY, about four o'clock, large,
fat, red-faced old lady, apparently just in
from the rural districts, came into the
captains Office of the Centennial Guard
at the Main Building. She was dressed
in country style, and weeping as if her
big heart would break The handsome,
jovial, little Capt. H., who always looks
as though he had just come out of band
box, came forward, and in his sweetest
tones said: My dear madam, what is
the matter? Can do anything for you ~
After sobbing few moments she managed
to tell him her sad story. Accompanied
by her daughter and other members Of
the family she had come in from the
country on an excursion train that morn
ing, and about twelve O'Clock she had
missed her darling little daughter Eva.
She had hunted everywhere for her, but
could not find her, and oh, she knew her
little Eva was lost, and maybe some men
had carried her off as Charley Ross had
been taken away, and again the good
woman commenced crying. The captain
told her that he would have the guards
hunt up her child, and asked for de-
scription of her, which the old lady gave
as follows: Wore pink poplin dress
with yellow flowers on it, white Marseilles
sacque with pink sash and bows Of ribbon
OF same color, straw hat trimmed with
green and red flowers, striped stockings,
black petticoat, red corset. dark com
plexion, and all the young fellows in their
called her "boss girl"
The captain sent the description to the
guards on duty, with instructions to keep
a lookout for the girl. The old lady en-
braced the captain in her joy at the pros
pect of finding her little girl. About an
hour afterward she appeared, and, with a
face beaming with joy, said: 81 have
found her; here she is;'' and what a
fairy like form met the view! There she
stood, dressed as the old lady had stated,
five feet ten inches tall, weighing 1855
pounds, wearing No. shoes and No.

A Fight with a MuskallOnge.

In the bay, just below town, Judge
Emerson and his wife, of Ironton, Mo-,
were out in very small boat trolling.
With two hundred to three hundred feet
of line out and wound around his hand, ,
and while on his feet adjusting seat,
terrible surge on his line threw him off
his balances and into, the St. Lawrence; he
he'd fast only with one foot inside the
little boat, with head and arms stretched
out at full length in the water toward the
fish. The boat being very light the
struggles of the fish made the situation
peril6us, and several beats instantly
pushed out to assist; but BY the aid of his
wife, who is something Of q sailor, and the
judges aquatic qualities, he regained the
boat. Meantime the fish, which proved
to be a thirty six pound muskallonge, was
jumping several feet into the air and anon
plunging to the bottom of the river, throw
ing the spray high and wide in his wild
contortions. 1t took more than an hour to
subdue this monster, during which the
contest was watched by dozens of excited
persons on shore and in boats. However,
by going on shore, judicial firmness final
ly triumphed over fish force, and this
monster of the deep was safely landed,
amidst the hearty .plaudits of a. crowd of
anxious and amused spectators.-Ca

No Fun in Him.

One of the members of the Methodist
Conferehce, recently held here, was out
for walk at an early hour one morning,
and while on Howard street he encoun-
tered a strapping big fellow, who was
drawing a wagon to the blacksmith shop.
"Catch hold here and help me down to
the shop with this wagon and I'll buy the
whisky" cried the big fellow.

goud man.

Food for the Nerves.

THE mind, as it is called, and the body
are one, and can only act by the same
laws; whether action proceeds from the
nervous centers and is invisible, or from
the muscular system and is invisible, it is
action produced by force generated with
in. The German Professor Helmholtz has
lately brought che calculations of the
force that has to be engendered within
our comprehension, and if such force
has to be maintained, it can only be done
by nourishment or food. Food consists
not only of organic, vegetable and animal
matter, but also of air and water, and
therefore change of air is often invigor-
ating to the nervous system. Our ideas
of the minds work arc still very con-
fused, for all nervous action is produced
by exertion or waste of force. Grief is
nervous exertion; joy is nervous exertion;
every thought is nervous exertiOn, and all
this exertion wants maintaining and feed
ing. Whenever exhaustion appears,
or so-called disorders, it is nothing
else but the consequence of want of
nourishment. Grief makes greater
claim ON the nervous centers than Joy,
and it is exceedingly wrong to avoid food
in grief. Dependency is nothing but the
result of incomplete nutrition of the
nerves, which give way under outward
pressure it is only necessary to be judi
cious, and give good nourishmcnt to
Respondent persons, such as will invigor-
ate and prove of tonic value, and the
nervous system will return to its natural
elasticity. Dependency exhausts the
nervous system greatly, for all thought is
action, and Responding thought wastes
more force than joyous thought. Nervous
diseases are the consequence of continued
waste of nervous action and incomplete
nutrition, and require nothing but judi
cious dietic treatment. We have at the
outset of our movement always main
tanned that all nervous disorders and So
called lunacy can be greatly affected by
diet, and we maintain this now healthy
and judicious food molds the character
and nourishes the brain.-Nationdl Food

The Pride of a Cow.

Many animals show vanity; indeed,
few OF the feathered creation are there
that do not show the appreciation of their
own good looks, and doubtless they CON-
passionate correspondingly their less
snowy neighbors. Jealousy is a very
prevailing passion in animals, particularly
in such as have been accustomed to be
petted and caresscd; for, considering
these tokens as their exclusive right, they
show serious displeasure when their own
ers bestow any mark of attention toward
other creatures. This is habitual to par
rots, which scream with rage and attempt
to fly at the individual whom the person
they are attached to may happen to caress :;
and should the attention be shown to one
OF their own species, their anger knows no
bounds.
One in the authors possession dcliber-
ately left its perch on such an occasion,
and ascending that of its smaller rival,
destroyed it before assistance could ar
rive, and screamed and crowed with ex-
ultatlon. Monkeys are also extremely
jealous of each other as we'll as of indi-
vlduals; an orang -outang in Paris, when
Ill and lying on the knees of its keeper,
would allow no one, and particularly
children, to approach him.
A friend related to the writer singular
instance of vanity in a COW owned
by relative, and which came under
his observation recently, when on a
visit to his relations farm. The cows
actions gave every manifestation of pride
AS though she considered herself of pure
blue blood, she claimed precedence in all
cases; she always went ahead of the herd ,
the best bit of pasture was her exclusive
domain, on which no other burst intrude.
So far did she carry her pretensions, that
if any of the other cows entered the stable
before her, she would refuse to enter.
Anxious to see this with his own eyes,
he desired to be taken to her stable at
evening. The man, instructed how to
act, drove in some Of the other COWS.
The white COW drew up; not only did she
refuse to advance, in spite of ali encour-
aging words, but her whole frame swelled
with anger and offended dignity. She
kept lowing continually. At last the
COWS within, as though conscious that
they had forgotten their place, began to
come out, and as they were driven out, the
proud white, with an evident air of graft
fed pride, strobe in in silence. It is al
most impossible to convey the impression
produced by this exhibition of DOWNRIGHT
pride, Hidalgo pride in what many would
call a dumb brute.-Leslie's Popular
Monthly.

What becomes of all the diamonds is
as much of mystery as is the fate OF all
the pins. So many diamonds have been
produced that it is not hard to accept as
sober truth that story of the sailor Sin
bad's, who reported that in certain val
ley diamonds were as thick as pebbles in
the bed of New England brook. But,
as it were certain death for man to en-.
ter this valley. strategy had to be en-
ployed in procuring the diamonds. Pieces
Of raw meat were rolled down the sides
of the mountains into the valley, where
they would collect the precious Stones in
the way that ool-boy's snow ball col
lects the snow in which it is rolled. Then
when the rock birds descended upon the
pieces of meat and carried them to the
mountains, the diamond-hunters would
follow up, and in the nests OF the birds
find fertile diamond mines.
The Golconda mines of India seem to
have been the nearest near approach to
Sinbad's diamond valley, for in that
district lived the Sultan who once be-
queathcd 900 pounds of diamonds to his
heirs; there stood the royal mosque in
which was placed the famous " Peacock
Throne" formed entirely of gold and
jewels, and valued at $4,000, 900: and
