faith. But the turn of fortune
very surprisingly came to her. A
short time ago she learned that she
had fallen heir to an estate in Ger
many worth $50, 900, and personal
property worth as much more. II
was almost incredible, but the for
tune of $100,O0O proved to be sol
id fact. So certain was she of it
that she said to her lover, SNOW is
onr time" and their marriage was
a few days ago contaminated at
the Grand hotel. She kept her
word with the same nobility of
character that had influenced her
in choosing q servants work.
The boarding house servant girl
and the poor clerk are going to
Germany to look after their inter
ests, and will probably feel able to
visit the Paris exposition. 1t is a
very pleasant bit of romance, and
the best of it is the incidents are
true, the characters are real and
the good fortune is deserved.

Housekeepers, purchase a good
supply of ammonia to use in
house cleaning. The husband
has everything that will tighten
his labors. Now, suppose his
wife had her bottle of spirits OF
ammonia to use: she takes her
basin of water and clean cloth,
just puts on a few drops of the
fluid, and wipes on all the dirt; it
is worth more than half days
hard labor, and does not hurt the
paint either. She could put a
few drops in her dish water, and
see how easily the dishes could
be cleaned; a few drops on the
sponge would clean all the
windows in the sitting room,
making them shine like crystal.
It would take the stains off the ter
spoons, too, and a tablespoonful
in the mop-pail would do more
toward washing up the kitche n
floor than ten pounds of elbow
grease applied to the mop-handle.
A house wife has just as much
right to make her work easy
and expeditions as her husband
has. If she does not do it, the
fault is her own in great
measure.

A Brave Girl.

A Cincinnati girl of American
birth and German extraction fur
nished the latest example of for
tunes favoritism that has come to
the surface of events of the day.
The girl had received q good
education and was a lady in every
sense of that title, but she was
poor, and had no expectations but
to labor for q livelihood. A pre-
vious reverse of fortune in her
family had placed her in this po-
sition, and she accepted 1t with q
brave heart and willing hands.
She tried the life of q sewing
girl in store to keep away the
wolf, but was obliged to work
for q mele pittance and was sub
ject to the sights and insults in
cident upon such q position. She
was offered the position of q gov
erness in a family who were
friends and associates of hers in
better days. This she refused upon
the ground that will be under
stood by women of culture and
pride of character. She prefer
red q situation as servant girl in q
boarding house where she would
have the advantage of good family
associations, and into such a board
ing house she went. There was
q young gentleman boarder who
saw and fancied the girl. He
knew her character, and accom-
plishments, and paid his court to
her. His was q true and manly
affection which was often the sub
ject of jeers and ridicule by his
light headed, foppish companions.
But he was earnest and honest
and true, and she accepted and
appreciated such devotion. Both
were poor, and the wedding day
was not to be set until some favor

to him to enable him to take the

OF course, the victims of these expert

he was possessed of new system of cure
which was working wonders abroad, and
which he wished to try himself. Without
the aid of any metallic plates or other ap-
pliances, but through the same principle
of the predominance Of mind over mind,
DR.. Hammond convinced strong man

weighed less than two pounds. The man
took hold Of it with all confidence and
Wrenched and strained himself, but to no
purpose. When the table at last fell to
the floor in ruins, it was found that instead
OF lifting, the man had been bearing down
upon It with all his strength. This strange
power, SO successfully developed and
illustrated by DR.. Hammond, seems to be
identical with that welded by the mes
Eerist. There is an element of myster,
about it, but it is real and may be potent

The Metal Care.

DR.. William Hammond Of New York,
that keen student of the human nervous
system, has been making some curious
and interesting experiments lately with
ssmetal- cure" which is now having a
European repute. This singular method
Of cure originated with an American doc
tor named Perkins, years ago, who by the
use Of various metallic disks and baths
made marvellous cures Of nervous diseas-
es. The theory was that each patient had
particular affinity for some metal, and
several kinds were tried till the potent
one was found. The metal-cure had a
great run, both in this country and Eng
land, but when by chance it was found
that bits of wood or anything else could
be made to exercise just as much intlu-
ence as the metals, the whole thing fell
into disrepute save in France, where faith
in its efficacy seems to have obtained "a
strong foothold. DR.. Hammond was led
70 investigate the metal cure by hearing
that several of his patients proposed visit
ing Europe to test 1t on themselves.
His investigation shows conclusively
that the metals have no part whatever il
the effects produced. but that these are
attained simply through the power o.
one mind upon another. Faith On the
part Of the patient, and a calm, persist
ent suggestion of an idea by the opera
tor, are the conditions Of success. Pac

of his patients, a girl OF fifteen, Mr.

Locking Up the Tower OF London.

Few persons are aware Of the strict
