-Peterson's Magazine for February
is already on our table, ahead, as
usual and is even more beautiful, in
some respects, than the January one.
The double.size colored fashion plate !;
the illustrated story, "Alice Gray's
Trial." and some new and exquisite
designs in japanese embroidery, in
cluding cOlored pattern, are among
these. The stories are all remarkably
good. Mrs. Burnett's "Fair Barbara
an" is continued, and is brighter than
ever. Lost" by Mrs. Ann S. Ste
phens, is the best novel even she has
written for years. We have SO often
praised Peterson" that it is almost
useless to do it again. We can
imagine nothing better in the way of
a lady's magazine. Specimens are
sent, gratis, to those wishing to get up
clubs. Back numbrrs from January
can always be supple. Price So. a
year in advance. Address Chas. j.

article about the same place by the

M The Dark Horse.n

The origin OF the term " dark horse !"
is explained in n matter-offact way by
the Cincinnati Eaquirer. Once upon
time there lived in Tennessee An old
chap named Sam Flynn, who traded in
horses and generally contrived to own a
speedy nas or two. which he used for
racing purposes whenever he could pick
up "soh match" during his travels.
The best OF his flyers was a coal-black
stallion named Dusky Pete. who was
almost thoroughbred. and able TO 60
in the best OF company. Flynn was ac-
customed to saddle Pete when approach
ing town and ride him into 1t 10 give
the impression that the animal was
merely "a likely hoss." and not q
flyer. One day be came to town where
. country meeting was being held
and he entered Pete among the contest
ants. The people OF the town, not
knowing anything Of his antecedents,
and not being over impressed By his
appearance, backed two or three local
favorites heavily against him. Flynn
moved among the crowd, and took all
the bets offered against his nag. Just
as the flyers" were being saddled for
the raae old Judge McMinamee, who
was tine .uri oracle Of that part Of
the State, arrived on the course, and
was made one of the judges. As he
took his place on the stand he was told
how the betting ran, and Of the folly OF
the owner OF the strange entry In back.

his eye over the track, the judge in
stantly recognized Pete, and he said:
Gentlemen, there's dark horse in this
race that will make some OF you sick
before supper" The judge was right.
Pete, the dark ho. se," lay back until
the three. quarter pole was reached.
when he went to the front with rush
and won the purse and Fiynn's bets

Jny Geuidb New Home.

Speaking OF splendid dwellings. says
the New York correspondent OF the
ochester Democrat, am reminded
that Jay Gould has recently purchased
the estate of the late George Merritt, f
Tarrytpwn. It consists Of two hundred
acres OF land and q magnificent white
marble palace, which cost in ali $500 900.
Gould obtained this grand property tor
o225, ZOO, o fact which illustrates the
decline in property in that locality.
Merritt called tho place Lyndhurst. but
probably Gould will want a new name
and hence respectfully suggest Stock
Jobbing Hall as an appropriate title.
Gould has ordered large library OF
modern literature. which certainly indi-
Gates good taste. How much they will
be read Is another question. The books
will, however, be valuable rs furniture.
and many library is fitted up for the
same reason. The new proprietor will
occupy this place as his summer resi-
dence, and will. 10 doubt, expend q

Oatmeal and Water.

A great deal of harm to health and
many deaths result, Us everybody knows,
from injudicious use of cold liquids to
quench thirst during our blazing sum-
mers. Persons exposed 10 the heat.
especially those hard at work, cannot,
or will not. refrain from drinking. for
they feel the need OF supplying the
waste from copious perspiratioD. What,
then. shall they drink. asks New York
paper. Water seems, under the circum-
stances, to be inadequate to the wants
of the system. 1t passes through tie
circulation to the skin as through a
sieve, and aows over the surface In
streams. A big drink OF cold. or even
of cool, water on an empty stomach Is
very dan gerous; 1t is liable to produce
sudden death. The danger may be
avoided, It Il said, by putting farina-
ceous substances, particularly oatmeal.
with the water to be dr. ank by laborsrs
the proper proportion being three or
four ounces of meal TO a gallon Of water.
Why oatmeals houh be better than rye,
millet, buckwheat or corpmeal cannot
easily determined, but those who have
used oatmeal, especially 6remen, coal
beavers, and the like, say that Il gives
them greater endurance and increases
their strength. This may be . mere mo-
ton, but the peculiar aroma Of the oats
may be 20 associated with an agreeable
stimulation of the alimentary mucous
surface as to promote complete diges-
ton. The meal appears toll fhe blood
vessels without Increasing the cutane-
Gus exhalations. workmen who tried
acid, saccharine, or alcoholic drinks -

have invaribly expressed unsatisfactory
results. Water with oatmeal seems 70
be By all odds the most wholesome and
desirable summer drink for manual

An English gentleman discovered that
the fame OF electricity As a curative
power had penetrated Pcrsia.
While tarryine At Sliirlz. on businass

came to inquire il the Enzlishmah's int

companicd him to the Office Of the tnle-
graph.
A powerfu battery had Just been pre-
cared, and the officer in charge rea lily
consented to operate upon the paralvzed
arm. To the two poles Of the battery
copper wire was attached, and at the
extremity Of each wire dampened
sponge. The Persian was instructed to
tightly grasp ore OF the sponges in his
paralyzed arm. Timidly complying. be
was astonished TO feel no sepsation.
"Wait q moment" said tho Eng lish-
man, ciapping the other sponge On the
mans shoulder. With q leap aad
yell he bounded out OF the room. amid
the uproarious laughter OF the officials.
All Shiras was excited the NEXT day
at the shock the nobleman had received.
Though II effected q partial cufe. the
frightened man refused to submit TO
second application Of the invisible fire.
One shock was sufficient, for he de-
clared all the stxrs of the heavens werS
visible to him in that awful moment.
He would visit the telegraph office and
look with awe at the "fie" machines.
Mourniully shaking his head, he would
depart without ut,ering word.
Another Persian, whose curiosity con-
quered his fear, while examining the
telegraph. touched one of the terminals
Of the machine. AS he felt no sensation
he laid his hand on the other terminal.
A sudden yell and a backward jump
was the result.
The man told his companions. in All

Englishman attempted TO explain the
operation. but bis words did not disturb
In the least the Persian's crcdality.

THE FLOWER GIRL.

Dorothy Pen6eld stood behind the
counter OF the florists store. sorting
over pile of fragrant blossoms which
lay on tray of damp green moss. Trails
of smilax wove their green garlands
up to the ceiling; heaps of gold and
rose-petaled buds lay in the window;
drifts Of purple heliotrope pertumed the
air, and white carnations lay like hill
locks OF snow against the panes Of the
show window, while spikes of Rerfumed
hyacinths and cape,jcsssmine huns their
subtle scents upon the air. l
Ard Dolly herself. with her round,
dimpled faced, pink cheeks and soft,
brown eyes, exactly the shade OF the
rippled hair. which was brushed simply
back from the broad. low brow, was q
fitting accessory 10 the scene.
She looked up, as the two gentlemen
entered. and q sort OF crimson shadow
oyerspread her face for second.

Exactly" said Mrs. Sedgewick. ~

sort of affair. It's an engagement party"
"Indeed!" said Dolly, trying to look
interested.
Between my daughter Clara and
Mr.. Alfred Fitzalan," said Mrs. Sedge-
wick. with conscious complacency.
Dolly said nothing; bue the room,
with Its Huted corniccs and lofty cell
ings, seemed to swim around her like
the waves OF the sea. And as she went
out. with Mrs Sedgewick still chatting
about white rosebuds and begoniA-
leaves. she passed the half-opsn door
of room, all hung with blue velvet,
where yellow-tressed beauty sat smil-
ing on low divan, With Mr.. Fitzalan
bending tenderly above her.
He has only been amusing himself
with me-" said Dolly to herself.
There was a sharp ache at her heart
but, after all. 1t was only the sting Of
wounded pride. Thank heaven-oh,
thank heaven, 1t was nothing worse than
that!
Honest John Dcadwo was driving
old Roam steadily and soberly along past
the patch Of woods, where the velvet
mossed bouldcrs lay like dormant beasts
OF prey in the spring twilight, when q
gray shadow glided out Of the other
shadows, and stood ut his side.
"Johnw she whispered.
dolly! it's never yous"
Yes, john" said the girl, gently but
steadily. I'm going back home with
you"
"God bless you. Dolly" said the
man. feryuitly.
For good and all. John. II you'll
take me-" said Dolly, shyly. I've had
quite enough OF city life; and I'll
help you with the greenhouses. and I'll
try to be a good little housekeeper at
home. Shall ]. John"
John put his arm around her, and
hugged her up to his side.
"Darling!" said lie. huskily, "it's
most too good news TO b, true; but II
my word Is worth anything. you shall
never regret your decision Of this day"
So the pretty flower girl vanished out
of the bower Of smilax and rosebuds.
The Sedgewick mansion wasn't decor
ated at all. and Mr.. Frixham had lost
his new customer. And the turquoise
ring came back to Mr.. FtzLlan in q
blank envelope.
