LOVE MAKING AMONG THE TYRoLEsE.
There is pretty alpine hut inhabited
in the Summer by the object of his af-
fections. That solitary life is one that
can only be made endurable by habit,
iron nerves. and absolute indifference to
danger. The girl lives alone among her
cattle. She seldom sees living soul
except her fellow servant who brings
her the fortnightly supplies, or some
surly keeper who is sure to suspect her
of being in league with his enemies, the
poachers. She has to tackle the bull
single handed; she has to tame the COW
no longer the docile creature that
would come when she called her name,
since her calf has been taken away from
her. She has to protect herself and
her frail habitation and her charges
against snow storms, thunder storms,
hurricanes and swollen torrents. One
can fancy how she looks forward to a
pleasant visit of any kind; above all the
visit of lover. Yet it is significant of
Tyrolese self-restraint under any circum-
stances that the pair to all appearances,
are absolutely undemonstrative, unless
for what may be read in their eyes.
She does not even offer her admirer her
hand, nor does he seem to expect it..
Yet, should there be rival suitors, and
the young woman be fiirt, it will be
seen that his feelings are the fercer for
being suppressed, and affairs are un-
likely to be settled without bloodshed.
The very indoor amusements of the Ty-
rolese are rough and even savage, though
they seldom bear malice for anything
that may happen. A writer and trav-
eler tells of friendly struggle in an
inn parlor, where couple of companions
at a drunken-bout interlocked the mid.
die fingers of their right hands, resting
their elbows on the table, and struggling
TO drag each other over. A muscle gave
way and one Of them was hopelessly
manned for life; yet when the first
sharp burst Of pain was deadencd and the
finger dressed, the sufferer gave his hand
TO the winner, and they ended the even
ing amieably as they had begun il.

Nor QUITE A FooL.-A certain Ger
man, an eye doctor by profession, rented
a cottage at Cape May, and in day or
two he was satisfied that he had been
charged an exorbitant rent. His land
lord, as it so happened, Was also his
milkman; therefore to this milkman the
eye doctor, the first morning he arrived
after the discovery of the swindle, said:
"Mine friend, vat ish the matter NIT
your right eyer There was nothing
the matter with the mans eye, but
knowing the profession OF his questioner
he very naturally took alarm, and re-
piled: Nothing; but perhaps a little
cold" "ln two months, solemnly went

moments there was deep silence. The
old man could not speak, and the young
one would not break in upon what he
felt to be sacred emotion. At last,
lifting his head, George Hilton asked :
"DOes Myra livea Can she forgive
meW
"It is years since she died." Hilton
answered; "but, surely, surely in Hea'
ven she has forgiven you. She never
spoke of you to your child but in words
OF respect and affection, though she al
ways spoke of you as dead"
"My child DO you know my childf
81 know and love her. Do you not
guess, Uncle George, where | saw that
bracelet whose duplicate recognized at
once, whose face is living copy of the
one in your locketl Must | tell you
that the child Mrs. Willet rescued from
poverty; and adopted for her own, is my
cousin, and your daughterP
"Ada Smith,
"Smith was the name her mother
thought most probably, would best con-
ceal her identity, and Ada was the name
of Mrs. Willet's only child who died in
infancy"
"But why have you not brought her
to me Z" asked Mr.. Hilton, with almost
sob in his voice. And as he spoke
the door Hilton had left ajar opened,
add across the threshold stepped a tall,
beautiful girl, with sunny brown hair,
and large blue eyes, who waited timidlv
until her father came quickly to meet
her.
Gamma" he said softly. "Can this be
my baby--my wee daughters 1t must
be, for it is my Myra, who has not
grown old and gray as have, but lives
in perpetual youth. My child, L once
wronged your mother, but have sorrowed
and repented for that wrong. Can you
forgive meF
The tears were falling fast from Anna
Hilton's eyes, and her voice was tremb-
ling with sobs as she said:
"My dear father"
That was all but as George Hilton
folded his child in his arms, he knew
that he was forgiven, and for him at last
there might be happiness in making
others happy.
Good Mrs. Willct mourned and re-
joiced at once over her own loss and her
adopted daughters good fortune, but
consoled herself with the thought that
Ada must have left her to he Hilton's
wife, and, after all, they would still be
neighbors.
But she would not give her up until
after most brilliant wedding, and
George Hilton only welcomed his daugh-
ter to her home when he also gsve ten
der greeting to Hilton's wife.

MEALS AT SUMNER RESORTS. Just
how much it costs to supply meals to
the average healthy eater in frst-ciass
seaside hotel will doubtless be surprise
to those who have not taken the trouble
to make themselves familiar with the
matter. The following figures in regard
to it l have from the most trustworthy
source At breakfast the ordinary
boarder drinks two cups of tea or coffee,
which with milk and sugar actually costs
5 cents bread and butter, 5 cents;
broiled chicken, 20 cents; beefsteak, Is
cents; omelette, 10 cents; making a
total of 81 cents. At lunch the same
boarder, who is always supposed to be
an "ordinary" one, will eat chowder
which costs cents; fish, 5 cents, bread
and butter, 5 cents; cold meats, B cents;
total of 20 cents. At dinner he OF
she, and / am assured that the women
are frequently the most expensive Gus
toners, will consume soup valued at 8
cents; fish, cents; roast meat, 25 cents;
entrees, 25 cents; vegetables, 10 cents;
dessert, ice cream, nuts, ETC., 10 cents:
or total Of S5 cents. The light supper
served here costs about 8 cents for each
person who partakes of it, so that the
meals of the entire day - breakfast,
lunch, dinner and supper actually cost
the hotel keepers 81 60. When it is
remembered that this does not include
service, light, rent, the cost of furniture,
of supplying and washing table and
chamber linen, and the hundred and
one little odds and ends which must be
furnished, it will be seen that the hotel
keeper does not make fortune out of
the permanent "guest" who does him
the honor to pay fraction over 81
day for his board
