Turning in the direction OF his extcn-
dej finger she saw o handsome carriage
rolling rapidly up.
1t is just coming. she announced TO
Mabel, whose eyes had already informed
her OF that.
They waited upon that dreary plat.
form until it drove up and the driver dis
mounted.
Then he came up the steps and ad.
dressed Mrs. Glennor, touching his hat
respectfully:
Ladies for Mrs. Hamiltons, mad
am!
Yes. Come, Mabel
The carriage is ready, Mabel. The
cart is here, ready TO take your bays age
over Will take your tickets?'
Mrs. Glennor gave him the tickets for
their trunks, and the ready coachman
soon had them piled in the light cart
which had followed tho carriage.
Now We are ready declared Mrs.
Glennor. Bat the coachman seemed to
be looking for se,Hc orers4se
Our young Henrietta went up to town
yesterday. We expect her back by this
train
Here am. SAM called a familiar
voice from the door Of the ladies' room
and the homely young woman in plain
linen, who had shared Mabers seat
came out or her retreat inside, and APP
preached them.
MY goodness was Mrs Glcnnor's
1ismayed ejaculation. as she flushed NJ
to the roots of her hair.
But Mabel sprang forward with extern.
ded hand.
What, are you Henrietta Hamilton?
am so glad
Are you Miss G lennon? am Glad
too said the young lady. Offering her
hand most cordially. i would have
made myself known in the train. but
am always too shy with strangers, and
was not sure who you were till now.
Mrs. Glennor, l am very glad TO welcome
you to Hamilton. love your dauuhter
already. and am sure we shall have n
delightful visit. Let US go now Sam is
waiting
This prompt courtesy, so delicately
ignoring her own rude behaviour in the
train, was greater rebulie to Mrs. G lea.
nor than any show of anger could have
been.
For once her ready tongue was at
loss, and she only followed her young
hostess to the carriage, silently with
flushed face.
But Henrietta's kindly spirit soon put
her at her ease, except when she remem-
bered her notifying blunder
1t was a wholesome lesson, howeycr,
and the next time Mrs Glennor meets a
lady in the train, whether she is robed
like queen. or in plain linen. she will
treat her rs such and never judge by ap.
pcarapces.

A TRUE STORY.
TIE FATAL HORSESHOE MAI


On the evening OF June 20, 1897. q
peddler on horseback stopped a. tie

skirts Of the town of Vickhils Eca. Don

in the smithy at the time, besides tue

be looking for accommodation
While the Smithy was attending TO

desired the smiths service, as his horse
had cast shoe.
The two strangers and tho lounger5
got into conversation, and the pcddlc-

was suspended by q strap from his

consisted OF rings. gold and silver chains.
watches, and so forth. On the last CON

to Doncaster, he offered to accompany
him, as he was going in the same dircc-
ton, adding that as he was q stranger,
the peddler might take him to some
house where he could get accominoda-
ton. The peddler replied that he was
going to The Travellers Rest on the
outskirts OF Doncaster, as it was 4 good
house and he knew the landlord.
When the smith removed The shoe
from the horse OF tue last conner. he ox.
amined it closely, remarking that it had
been made in Holderness, pointing out
the fact that the nail was peculiarly

signs OF Weatner.

Dew is a sign of fine weather, and
is never seen except under a cloud
less sky. Wind and clouds are sure
preventives ofdew, from the simple
reason that clouds are able To retain
some of the solar heat; and, as they
can give forth warmth, the radiation
from the earth is checked, and a
warmer temperature preserved.
Wind evaporates the moisture as
fast rs it appears; and il the wind is
westerly, there is little dew or clouds
to be seen. The contrary is OBJ
served with an easterly wind, but a
west wind blows over a vast eX-
panse of land, and having lost its
vapOr, dries up any moisture it may
come across; whereas an east wind,
crossing the Atlantic, is full of va
por sheds deWs on all sides. These
remarks, of course, apply chiefly to
particular localities, but the infiu-
ence of west wind may be seen in
the spring. Dew is more copiOnsly
deposited in spring and autumn
than in summer, as there is usually
a great difference in those seasons
between the temperature of day and
night; in the spring, however, there
is a small deposit of dew when a
vast wind prevails; but in autumn,
during the soft influences of the
west winds, the earth is covered
with moisture. 1t has also been OBJ
served that there is great forma-
tiOn of dew between sunset and
midnight.

The whine About subsidies.
Memphis Appeal.

The resolution Of Senator Mat
thews in favor of the Southern Pa
cific railroad has filled the friends
of the Union Pacific with great in
dignatiOn. All along the line they
have raised the cry against "subsi-
dies" ''the job" ''the swindle."
As is well known, the Republican
party, during the first three years it
was in overwhelming power in the
government, created those monster
corporations and engines of corrup-
tiOn and plumber, the Pacific rail-
road companies. It gave them by
two acts, inside of two years-July
l, 1862, and July 2, 1S64-the bonds
of the people for sixty-four million
six hundred and twenty-five thous-
and five hundred and twelve dol
lars, which, with interest the COM
panies have failed to pay and the
government has been obliged to
pay, now forms nearly one hundred
million dollars of the more than
two billion dollars public debt. 1t
gave to them also, but later, the
pick of the public lands, an empire
in extent. Here are some of the
grants in acres, at different dates, as
taken from the official register

After all the discussion in and
out of Congress, after all the inves-
LEGATIONS of committees for frauds
and political iniquitie5, after all the
fuss and feathers about this thing
and the other, to benefit the South,
to cure hard times and bring to US
untold advantages, no question
comes to the front so boldly de-
manding our support as the question
now before Congress, to aid the
building of the Texas and Pacific
railroad. We are sorry to see such
opposition from the Eastern States
as is shown, inasmuch as none have
been more clamorous for govern
ment aid, at all times, for all pur-
poses.

for the benefit OF some struggling

wider and deeper, Congress must
vote an appropriation. One hears
nothing from the New York Herald
then about government subsidies
for private enterprises, but the
South asks for help and all eyes are
turned heavenward with holy hOr-
ror. The Texas Pacific asks nothing
but government endorsement thai
will never cost the people q dollar,
which is far different from the
Union Pacific, that has grown so rich
from government subsidies that
they are enabled by their ill-gotten
gains to crush out almost any enter
prise at all antagonistic to them.
Hence this struggle on their part to
defeat this Southern enterprise.
| We hope but little from the East,
but we do believe the West will aid
US in this our greatest struggle for
Southern advancement and pros
perity.

when to Eat.

In a paper read at domestic
economy congress at Birmingham,
England, not long ago, DIR. Wilson
gave the following hints on the
proper times for eating tor different
classes of workers:
''For the active outdoor laborer
and artisan, an early breakfast be-
fore work, a midday dinner, with
an interval of rest. and supper after
the days work is over, have long
been proved by experience to be the
most conducive to the health. For
the business man later breakfast,
a midday luncheon and a late dim
ner after the days work is over, is
the best arrangement. For literary
men, who write more in the even
ing than during the day, an early
dinner and a light supper will be
found most advantageous for steady
work. The breakfast hour should
be determined in a great measure
by the hour of rising; but in any
case food should be partaken of be-
fore the material business of the
day is commenced. Those who like
to take q constitutional be-. ore
breakfast would find their appetite
whetted and their walk made all
the more enjoyable if they took a
little milk or coffee with milk, with
bread or biscuit before starting.
Work done before breakfast is irk-
some and fatiguing, and on that ac-
count is very likely to be badly
done. The last meal should be suf-
ficiently late for the whole to be abb
sorbed before retiring to rest. TO a
person in health three meals day
ought to be quite sufficient and the
practice of continually taking
something is sure to bring on indi-
gestion."
