her too much attention"
In the meantime, Frank had been re-
garding Lilla's indignant and angry face
with undisguised amazement, and the
doctor had been looking in perplexity
first at one and then at the other of the
pair.
'Some lovers quarrel" thought the
worthy man; sit will all come right. l
won't interfere" Then aloud, 'By the
way, Lila, weren't you and Tregennis,
and-and-Frank to make up skating
party to the large pond this morning ?"
"Yes, papa"
''Be quick then, or you'll be late. It's
past teu.'
Lila rose to make her preparations,
still holding the obnoxious valentine in
her hand, and left the room.
"Come. Sir Francis" "a name play

as the door closed behind Frank, the

Pooh don't fret yourself, Mary. We

Mrs. Marchant smiled.
"Well. I'll go and see cook, she said
That's right, my dear. That's speak

shaft at his wife, as he took up his let
ters and papers to proceed to his study,
that you'll find Mrs. Boldcr and the
maids better pleased with their valen-
tines than you and Lila are with yours,
my dear.
Without loss of time, Frank had over
taken Lila before she had reached the
top of the fight of stairs leading to her
bedroom

But the young man laid his hand on
her arm to detain her.
She threw it off impetuously.

lucky valentine into his hand "look at
that, sir | suppose you never saw it be-

And she laughed in a manner not
pleasant to hear. Frank Drake gazed
for moment in stupefaction at the let

flashed upon his mind, and he exclaim-

"Just listen to me minute, lii p

and more angrily. "You can go to Dora

And she escaped to her room.
"And you can wait till Tregennis
comes to fetch you, and if you fall thro'

his patience quite exhausted.
And he strobe down the staircase six
steps at time, snatched his hat and
coat from their peg in the hall, and rush

violently behind him.

mark the adjectives employed by the
persons-outside, of course, of his fami-

months since he made up his report.
The favorite adjective among all class

he heard l38 times, "gorgeous" 136

'.beautitul'' 1873.
Among the ladies he found the word
"lovely'' to be an adjective held in high
esteem, and which was applied to every
thing. 1t fell on his ears from lovely
lips 1913 times, and four times he heard
it expressed by men. In comparison the
superlative degree was employed the

A STAR BEHIND THE CLOUD.

No matter how dark the night
No matter how black the clouds may be,
Up in the shrouded sky,
Hidden from watching eye,
Glitters a star for me.
Silvery bright and clear.
Out in the fields Of fadeless blue,
Needless of cloud and rain,
Fearless Of death and pain
Golden stars in their silent sphere
Twinkle and burn for you.
Summer and winter the same;
No matter if storm clouds surge and roll
Like waves on the frenzied sea;
In heavens bright gallery
Twinkle and glow with quenchless flame,
These types Of the soulI
No matter how dark thy life
No matter how gloomy our watch may be;
Mid sorrow, and pain. and care,
Still watching thee everywhere
Back OF the curtain Of earthly strife
Twinkles a star for thee

LUCK AND LABoR.-Don't charge your
failure to "bad luck, my boy. I'll tell
you what your trouble is-you are lazy.
Learn Mr.. Cobden's proverbs about
"Luck and Labor"
Luck is waiting for something to turn
up.
Labor. with keen eyes and strong
will, will turn up something.
Luck lies in bed and wishes the post
man would bring him news of legacy.
Labor turns out at o'clock and with
busy pen or ringing hammer lays the
foundation of a competency.
Luck whines.
Labor whistles.
Luck relies on chances.
Labor ON character.
Luck slips down to indulgence.
Labor strides upward to independence.

Do Nor FACE THE LIGHT WHEN AT
WoRK.-Statistics kept by oculists en-
ployed In infrmarles for eye diseases
have shown that the habit of some per-
sons in facing window from which the
light falls directly in the eyes as well as
on the work, injure their eyes in the
end. The best way is to work with
side light, or, if the work needs strong
illuminations, SO that it is necessary to
have the working table before the win
dow, the lower portion of the latter
should be covered with screen, so as
to have top light alone, which does
not shine in the eyes when the head is
slightly bent over and downward toward
the work.
In the schools in Germany this mat
ter has already been attended to and the
rule adopted to have all the seats and
tables SO arranged that the pupils never
face the windows. but only have the side
lights from the left; and as light sim
ultaneously thrown from two sides gives
an interference of shadows, it has been
strictly forpioav~- "a huild school-rooms
with windows on both sides, sucn nfo..
ination having also proved injurious to
the eyes of the pupils.
We may add to this the advice not to
place the lamp in front of you in the
evening, but little on one side, and
never to neglect the use of shade, so
as to prevent the strong light shining in
the eyes. This is especially to be con-
sidered at the present time, when kero-
sene lamps, with their intensely lumin-
Gus flames, become more and more COM

A scHooL-BoY,s REVENGE.

Judge Pitman's boy Bill acquired
learning in log school house. At one
place the plaster between the logs was
broken away, and through this aperture
Bill endeavored to escape feet foremost
during school hours one day last sum-
mer. Unfortunately he stuck fast when
half way through, and he could neither
run nor retreat. When the attention Of
Mr.. Shines, the teacher, was directed to
the culprit, Mr.. Shines proceeded to the
exterior of the edifce, and embraced the
opportunity afforded by Williams posi-
tion to hammer him with shingle.
Then young Mr.. Pitman was pulled out
and plunged into sums in vulgar frac-
tions.
Near the school-house there is mill
race, at the end of which there is
sluice-gate. Immediately below the gate
there is a huge deep tank, which carries
the water to the under-shot wheel The
inside of the tank is green and Shiny,
and when the water is drawn carefully
out of it great many fish can often be
found lying on the bottom. The tank is
fifteen feet deep. A few days after the
fogging Bill happened to pass the tank
and looking in, he saw Mr.. Shines at the
bottom, picking up fish and putting
them into bag. William felt that the
hour of vengeance had struck. He turn
ed the handle of thA sl,.;---o'ssv'- ana III
ress than a minute that jolly old peda-
gogue was foundering in six feet of wa
ter, trying in vain to Chamber up the
Shiny sides of the tank. When he saw
young Pitman he shrieked to him for
help. But Bill, with fendish coolness,
said, "No, sir; you've to tread water
till you promise never to lick me again
Then Shines solemnly pledged himself
never to strike another blow at him, and
Bill let the water from the tank, and
helped Shines out. That night when
Bill got home he found Shines there con-
versing with the judge, and five minutes
~latAr- thu judge was fondling William
with trunk strap, while Shines sat by
and smiled. William has since express
ed the opinion confdentially that Shines
is perfdious scoundrel.

beat the whites of three eggs to a stiff broth,
with a little sugar, and cover the top in
large spoonfuls, and sprinkle with pink SUI
gar sand; heat till light brown. Very deli
cate and handsomes
BAKED INDIAN MEAL PUDDING.-One quart
sweet milk, boil and stir it into one teacup
meal; let it cool, and add four eggs, one-half
cup butter. one cup sugar; bake three-quar-
tiers of an hour; eat with sauce; very nice.
VINEGAR PHONE teacup vinegar. about
one cup sugar, few small pieces of butter,
and two teaspoonfuls flour. Spices. Taste
improved by few drops of lemon. This
makes two pies, as care must be taken in
respect to quantity put in.
To WASH TINwARE.-Tinware looks much
nicer when washed in hot water with milk
instead of soap, and will not require the
rough securing which is so commonly used
by servants, and which soon wears of all
the tin. leaving rusty useless article,
neither iron nor tin.
SHORT CAKEs.-Rub three-fourths of a
pound of butter into one and half pounds
of slfted flour; leave the butter a little
lumpy in the flour; make it into dough
with ice cold water; roll out into cakes
half inch thick; prick them with fork;
bake in a moderate oven until brown.
Muslin CURTAINs.-A very pretty way to
make long muslin curtains is by placing,
two inches from the edge of the curtain,
row OF imitation duchesse or Cluny lace in
sertion on the edge of the curtain. Place
lace edge 10 match the insertion; tie back
with bands of the insertion, blue ribbon or
cambria placed at the back of the insertion.
Curtains made up in this way do much bet
ter than those trimmed with fiuted rutfies,
and the cost is very little more, if any.
APPLE SNow.-Pare and core juicy, tart
apples and stew with just enough water
to keep them from scorching. When
soft, sweeten with loaf sugar; add the grated
peel of lemon while boiling, and stir until
not lump remains. Put in bit of sugar
as large as walnut while hot. When cool,
add the juice of half lemon, and to quart
of the apple put the unbeaten whites OF two
eggs; beat the mixture until it is stiff
enough to stand. alone. and is as white as
snow. Serve with whipped cream, and you
will have palatable and healthful dessert

we saw a venerable man riding by who sat
on his horse with the erectness of a briga-

some of the attractions of We ancient CEN
turtles. 1t was the Rev. Eli z. Farman, one of
the grand old itinerants of the olden times.
He is "a years of age and says he is never GO
ing to die. For Sc years be has preached
a free salvation to all men, and during that
time cheered as many hearts with the light
Calvary as any other man of his capacity.
Bold and independent. he has dared to
speak for himself and often regardless of
his old ministerial brethren. His reputa-
ton has always been sound a dollar,
and thousands have. gone to heaven from
under his ministry. He preached for souls,
titled his own farm and always voted the
democratic ticket. But few such men now
live as the heroes of the better days.
