vacation at Shelford. reading and fishing, and
had made the acquaintance of William Jervis
ON the banks Of the river, and through him,
whom it was a condescension on the part of Mr..
Scrope to notice, of Alice herself.
Alice perhaps understood the footing on
which they stood better than her brother, and
the innate pride in her nature caused her to
accept it with reservations. She felt the gulf
between them, and measured it by the world 8
standard. Therefore, when Mr.. ScrOpe made
his somewhat startling offer, she, in spite of
her surprise, was not unprepared with her
answer.
And now that she had given it. she asked
herself if she had done right
Mr.. Scrope was an only son brilliant
future was before him a world of which she
knew nothing was familiar to him. Could she,
who was accustomed to the littlenesses incl
dent to circumstances somewhat above actual
poverty, move with propriety in circles accus-
toned to every luxury? Would his relatives so
far above hers.accept her and her belongings ?
She answered, mo" Mr.. ScrOpe had argued,
what matter since it rested with him to give
her place and position in the world as his wife
But that she knew would be separation for
him from all former associations and her own
unfitness to move in her lovers sphere would
make her q clog upon the life of him to whom,
before she knew it, she had given her heart.
Such had been the train of argument she had
pursued, and she had struggled free from the
prospect open to her, not without pain, and
had dismissed it as dream of beauty that had
nought to do with waking hours. And now
But it was over. The morning rose, and she
went about her tasks as usual, perhaps even
more energetically, since she needed an outlet
for her pent up feelings. Mingled with pain
there came a sense of happiness in the knowl-
edge of Mr.. Scrope's love. To have possessed
it-nay, perhaps to possess it still-carried her
into another world, in which, however, she
must always be alone, since all that had passed
must forever remain her own especial secret.

the years had stood still, and she was there
waiting for MIR. Serope.
She was turning away, when a dark figure
approached her, and well-remembered voice
said:
"Miss Jervis !"
Mr.. Scrope !"
"Yes was waiting for you. 1 wished to
see you before you went away"
Almost her own words in their last inter-
view.
She looked up at him half fearfully. 1t was
so strange to see him there at that hour of
night, and an almost superstitious awe came
over her.
81 wanted to tell you that you have ruined
my life so far. heard that you were at Shell
ford. l knew that you would be here tonight
and l have come to ask you if you repent the
past, and are willing to atone for it ?"
Alice shrank back.
" Mr.. Scrope ~ was all she could say.
"The inferiority, if there be any, is on my
side, he said "you have improved the past
/ have wasted it. Yet the wasting of it lay to
your charge. knew You better than you knew
yourself. wanted wife who would under
stand me- and would give me sympathy. You
could have done this, and you refused it. VIII
you refuse it now?"
Bewildered, and yet indignant, Alice shrank
further away from him.
Mr.. Scrope," she sad, "I bid you &c
back to your wife. bid you to repair the bril-
liant prospects you seem so wrongly to have
marred."
81 wish l could" he answered, sorrow
fully. "My wife is dead, Alice, or l should
not be here tonight. She died two years ago.
You are hard and unjust as you have ever
BEEN"

know? have but just returned to England
She moved nearer to him she held out her
hand. "Forgive me" she said.
And their eyes met and Mr.. Scrope, looking
down into hers, stopped and kissed her quiver-
ing lips for the second time in his life.

Drinking Water.

The quantity of water we need in the
form of beverage depends greatly on the
nature of the substance we consume as
food. With dietary composed largely
of succulent vegetables and fruit, a very
little of any kind of beverage is required.
Much also depends on the manner in
which our solid food is cooked-whether,
in the case of animal food, the natural
juices of the flesh are retained in it or
not. Much, too, will depend on those
atmospheric and other conditions which
determine the amount of fluids lost by
evaporation from the surface of the body.
The sensation of thirst is the natural
warning that the blood wants water. [
may here remark, incidentally, that it is
not a wise custom to take excessive
quantities OF any fluid, even simple
water, with our food, for by SO doing we
dilute too much the digestive juices and
so retard their solvent action on the
solid food we have consumed. A
draught of fluid, however, toward the
end OF digestion, is often useful in pro-
noting the solution and absorption of the
residum of this process, or in aiding its
propulsion along the digestive tube.
Hence the custom of taking tea few
hours after dinner, of seltzer or soda
water little before bed time. London

An Indignant Chinaman.

One day lately one of the Asylum
avenue cars in Hartford, Conn, was
making its slow way outward, well filled
with gentlemen and ladies. The seats
being all occupied, as lady after lady
entered they were invited to sit by gen
tlemen, who in succes'io ion arose and
politely gave their seats to the ladies,
until, finally, the only representative Of
the sterner sex who retained seat was
a portly Chinese commissioner. Soon
the car stopped again, and the Oriental,
who had been all along expressing by
his looks q profound contempt for this
politeness of the Americans, felt the
pressure of public opinion too strong to
resist longer, and, rising, yielded his
seat to simpering schoolgirl, who took
it as if it belonged to her ladyship. The
Celestial countenance grew darker, and
it's owner clung to the strap with tight
ened grip until he reached his destina-
ton, the corner of Sumner street, when.

acquaintance, heexploded: "Too muchee

An Esauimaux Wedding.

The following description of an Esqui-
maux wedding is given by writer
Shortly there entered, in perfect silence,
cortege drawing dog sled, in which
was seated the high priest of the tribe,
and more villainous looking object
never beheld. He was smeared with
oil and coloring matter in stripes, which
gave him the appearance of a Chinese
joss. On his head was tiara of bears
claws, surmounted by an enormous polar
bears head. On his shoulders were
placed, erect on end, two large walrus
tusks, fancifully decorated with strips
OF red flannel, which had been obtained
from the clothing of drowned sailor
washed ashore. The lower part of his
body was covered with other skins, over
which were spread number of young
seals, all alive and barking In the right
hand he held o spear, which he waved
aloft in theatrical manner, while with
his left he motioned to the bride and
groom to approach him. The whole con-
course arose and with shouts of gladness
capered around the priests chariot. This
he submitted to for space of ten min
uooS, anu tnen, LuPeIlously waving nls
spear, commanded silence. The groom
was now commanded to PROSTATE himself
upon the earth on his back, and the
bride directed to place her foot upon his
throat, which she evidently did with re-
luctance. While in this position the
priest instructed the groom that such was
to be his fate, trodden under foot by
men, should he ever prove untrue to his
plighted troth. He was then permitted
to rise, and directed to approach the old
chief, who placed spear at his breast,
telling him it would be his doom should
he prove untrue. He was next directed
to his father, who, producing a fishing
line, informed him that he would choke
to death his offspring should he prove
unfaithful. 7 hen, to cap the climax, he
was directed to face the entire tribe, who
brandishing their spears, yelled at the
top of their voices vengeance on him in
the event of unfaithfulness. At this
juncture the groom, apparently over.
come with emotion, dropped on the
ground, and bowing his head to the
earth, cried; "I will be true" unit

A rich merchant of Paris has hand
some country house in the environs which
he only occupies from July to Septem-
Der. The rest of the year the property
is under the care of Lerat, an old soldier
retired from service. About May 1st,
while Lerat was smoking his pipe before
the door, two men in blouses, carrying
large goods box ON handbarrow, asked
his leave to deposit the box for an hour
in the garden. Lerat assented; the box
was set down behind the stable and the
men departed. In the evening Lerat's
dog began to bark savagely. Lerat went
to see what was the matter and found the
dog guarding the chest, barking and
showing his fangs significantly. Lerat
crept on tiptoe to the box and heard
movements in it. He ran at once for his
gun, got the gardener, and, returning,
opened the chest. A man in blouse
sprang out and started to escape, but
Lerat covered him with his gun, and the
man, instead of evading, fell upon his
knees and begged Lerat MOTTO betray him;
he would confess everything. Lerat,
however, handed him over to the police,
who set trap, and that night captured
his two accomplices trying t., break into
the house. The goods box dodge, it
seems, has been frequently tried OF late.

A Fish Fight, With a Moral.

Those who have visited the New York
Aquarium have probably noticed that the
two tanks containing specimens of picker
ell and catfish are situated side by side and
connected by a two-inch pipe through
which the water circulates. One day re-
Gently by some means the wire protection
which covers the mouth of the pipe fell
off, and pickerel, evidently of an in
quiring turn of mind, Immediately took
advantage of the circumstance to make a
tour Of inspection of the tank occupied
by about O dozen catfish. The scene
that followed was amusing in the ex-
treme. The catfish, at the sight of the
intruder, forsook the upper part of the
tank and crowded together in one corner
at the bottom, moving nervously about
as if in council. The pickerel, although
considerably larger than any of the cat
fish, showed from the first by his beha-
vior that he had made mistake and in
stead of swimming gayIy round and re-
calling himself with few catfish at once
showed respect for his little friends,
which was surprising. Nay, more so
far from desiring to force his company
upon those who clearly could dispense
with it, he with delicacy that was re-
freshing in one usually so rude kept him
self so near the surface of the water that
he appeared desirous, if possible, to get
out it it. The sequel explained all this
sudden assumption of refinement, for
presently the largest of the catfish left
his little crowd of friends at the bottom
of the tank and, after q few turns round,
boldly rose to the surface and took O
good look at the pickerel, who appeared
not to be aware of his presence. The
catfish soon made himself known, for af-
ter taking another turn or two, as if to
gather force, he made rush and butt
with all his force at the pickerel and
then retired to his corner. The effect of
the blow upon the pickerel was if he had
been electrified he dashed wildly in all
directions, except in the neigL borhood
of the catfish, and at length subsidized to
his original position. Thus ended round
one, which was but prelude to others
of like character, which was as kept up
for over an hour, when the pickerel re-
versed the position in which fish usually
swim as a signal of defeat and without a
struggle yielded up the ghost. Strange
ly the pickerel, although larger than the
catfish, which he could have swallowed
with ease, from first to last, made no
show of resistance, and allowed himself
to be butted to death without an effort
to resist or to punish his tormentor. The
sight of the catfish had taken all the
bully out of the pickerel, who, however,
showed no signs of the punishment he
received, for not scale was damaged
and torn fine was the only token of the
late encounter.
MORAL. bullies think of the fate
OF the pickerel and be careful how they
rely upon a reputation for brute force,
and especially beware how you. venture
into other peoples houses without per-
mission of the owner. -Neao York

Is Corn Bread UnMholesome 2

1t is the general impression in Italy
that bread made from Indian corn is un-
wholesome, frequently producing spo-
radio diseases, which often terminate
fatally. The facts appear to be we'll
established, and the result to depend
upon condition of moldiness which is
very apt to supervene in consequence of
the method of preparing the bread n
that country. Quite recently some
chemists have succeeded in separating
from noldy Indian meal an alkaloid sub
stance, which is white, easy alterable,
non-crystalline, insoluble in water, solu-
BILE in alcohol and ether, which acts
poisonously on man and animals. It is
especially noteworthy that the sulphuic
acid solution, when oxidizing agents are
added, has a blue color, stril5ingly
similar to that of the corresponding re-
tiacon OF strychnine,
