ly. BY this time his skates were firmly
bound. She'll stand, won't she!' said
Jack, with sideway nod at the mare.
Like stone, said the Major.
Then, said Jack, taking off his over
coat, and cumbrously descending from
the dogcart, follow me, an fetch the
clothes line with you
The first idea of Jacks plot dawned
upon the Majors mind.
You'll be catching cold, he said.
The overcoat'll be dry, said Jack; AN
there's whiskey in the bottle, an it's on
ly half mile home.
That's true, too, said the Major, de-
scending with alacrity.
Master Jack, having secured one end
of the clothes line about his chest, gave
the other into the Majors hands and
went upon the ice. 1t cracked beneath
him, and before he had gone twenty
yards it gave way with a crash and
splash. The Major hauled, and Jack
came in splitting the thin ice before him
and putting and blowing like gtampus
He seized his rescuers hand and scram-
bled to the bank.
In ye go!' he shouted. Don't keep
me here TO catch me DEATH
WHAT cried the Major.
Now, how do ye think ye could save
me loife from drowning without a wet
thread on you!' inquired the youngster
The Major grasped the situation. but
stood awhile regarding Jack ruefully.
In ye gos the young gentleman cried
again.
'Begorra, said the Major slowly stripp-
ing off his coat aud standing in his shirt
sleeves, there's nothing else for it,
And with that, once more taking up
| the end of the rope, he jumped in and
emerged breathless Jack was already
in the dogcart aud was struggling into
his overcoat. Luckily for the harmless
fulfillment of this truly Irish enterprise,
heavy outer garments were the fashion.
Each buttoned himself to the chin. and
each took agreat gulpof whiskey. Then
the Major, with asense of humor to keep
him warm, touched up the mare and
away they ratified.
What's to become of the clothes line?'
asked the Major.
'Shamus is to come down to the pool
and bring it home with him. said Jack
with his teeth chattering.
Jack, said the Major affectionately,
I've an English note for five pounds on
me somewhere, and it's yours, my boy,
for this days work
Me teeth are like castanets,' Jack re-
spohded. Drive on, for the love oi
Heaven! But I'm game to take the pa
per, Major, an think deserve it.

The Orange Crop.
ranInF1~. Txa~cr.1

Usually at this season of the year
speculation as to the incoming or
ange crop is matter of daily occur
ance, not only among those inter-
ested in the fruit in commercial
way. This year, so far from being
an exception to the general rule. is
one of peculiar circumstances, and
we see indications on every side OF
a disposition to impart reliable in
formation to the public as to the
forthcoming crop of fruit.
We have taken some pains to in
form ourselves as to the crop and
its condition in the counties border
ing on the st. Johns, and its trib-
utaries. We give the results of our
efforts as follows.
The crop will exceed that Of last
year by 10 TO Is per cent. but the
average quality of the fruit il much
better than ever before. The or
ange will average larger, and
brighter than usual, and groves of
100000 and upwards will run very
uniform as to quality. Some large
groves the fruit of hich has here
t0fore been classed as good, and
this year small, rusty snd more or
less affected with insect, and again,
groves that have produced rather
inferior fruit will this year turn out
some of the best fruit in the State.
The sale of the fruit on or about
half dozen groves has to certain
extent demoralized the market,
but we look to a settled price for
fruit at the grove which will pay
the producer a fair price, and allow
margin Tor buyers.

bing a respectful courtesy to each in
turn.
SHUT where's our cousin Joe-Mr.
Ferris, I mean 2' demanded vi
ola.
"Your-which, honey ?" quired
auntie.
"My cousin-Mr. Ferrls-where's
he ?''
"Him? Why, dar he are" re-
sponded anntie, pointing over vi
Ola's shoulder, "if he ben a snake he
bit sc, honey, sure"
And auntie's fat sides shook with
enjoyment.
Viola turned around. Tom Briggs
stood behind her.
"WelcOme to Pinkdale, Miss Per-
ry," he said politely but coldly.
Indeed! And who are you pray?
demanded Viola, sharply TO rebuke
his insOlence."
"Me? Oh, Pm your cousin, Joe
Ferris, at your service ~ said the
supposed Tom Briggs. "Tom sent
me telegram that he could not
leave the city at present, SO | con-
cluded TO go AMI escort you myself.
And as l did not wish to buy the
favor of my relatives, determined
to personate Tom, and see if / could
win some friendship for myself
alone"
Here ne trie,l to see Bab's eyes !;
but she had turned them away in
much confusion.
'De dinners a-waitin," answered
auntie
And as there was nothing else to
be done, they all took seats around
the Widespread table, and matters
were .smoothed over for the time.
But after dinner, Bah slipped
away by herself to the old apple or
ehard on the north hillside.
"What will he think ?'' she said,
covering her face with both hands.
He-he must have seen that / liked
him; but never dreamed he was
cousin joe"
But swift footsteps had followed
hers, and strong hands drew her
own away from the blushing cheeks.
"YOu shant' run away from rue
again, little Bab," he said, drawing
her to him.
And the next mornings train car
ried Mrs. Perry and hertwo daugh-
tiers back to the city, in spite of
Joe's polite invitation to stay for
the wedding.

whnt Registered Letters Arc.

An exchange says: "That ques-
ton is very often asked: What is
the difference between a registered
letter and any other? The differ
ence is that registered letter does
not go in the mail proper. 1t pas
ses from hand to hand outside the
mail pouches, every person through
whose hands it passes being required
to sign a receipt for it on receiving
it, and secure receipt for it on pas
sing it over to the next transit. The
person holding the last receipt is
thus always able to show who is ac-
countable for its loss. The respon-
sibility rests on the man who has
signed a receipt for the registered
package and who is not able to pro-
duce the package or a receipt from
somebody else for it. The safest
way to send money is by money or
der. Where it does not go to a mon
ey-order office, it should always be
sent in a registered package Mon
ey ought not to be sent in an ordi-
nary letter under any circumstances.
There is no possible way of 'track-
ing" such letter.

A Leading Professor Speaking of
Sensible People.

DIR. s., the prominent Eastern
medical lecturer, says: Every
day sensible people come to me
complaining of their health being
broken down. The answer to my
inquiries always are-what l sur
mise-nature's laws have been to-
tally disregarded consequently the
blood, the stream of life, becomes
contaminated and as a result of
this blood poisoning, / find dyspep-
STA and disordered functions of the
heart, lungs, liver, and kidneys, ac-
companied by headache, nervous
debility, and other impaired organ
ic portions, often verging on par
alysis. In order to keep the digest
i've organs in proper health and
strength, and my friends in the
profession have recommended
Browns Iron Bitters-they act so
mildly and soothingly, never leav-
ing any unpleasant after-effects,
strengthening the organs of diges-
ton, and permanently removing
every symptom of ill health, lam
guor, and debility. No remedy in
the East gives such good satisfaction
as Browns Iron Bitters, and all
druggists can procure it for you.
Don't be persuaded to use a substi-
tute. This remedy contains no al
ehohol and is the only preparation
of Iron that does not blacken the
teeth.-Stul.

The Female Barber.
Bill Nye's Boomerang,

Women are now tackling every
profession and style of business.
There is badly walk of life adown
whose shaded paths we do not find
the young lady sauntering in all
her charming manner. Many of
them are becoming BARRIERS, and
successful ones, too. There is a
gentle touch required by barber
which is very grateful to the vic
tim, and which is easily picked up
by the lady apprentice. There is a
nameless joy that steals into a
mans soul when musical voice
tickles a mans ear as he lies in the
chair with his eyes closed, while
the TIPS of rosy fingers take him by
the nose and pry open his mouth.
and a dainty twist of the wrist fills
his back teeth full of soap and rain
water. Oh, woman little do you
know what power of good you pos
sess. When you jab a mans head
back against the gable end of the
BARRIERS chair and hang it over be-
hind so that his Adams apple
sticks up in the scented air like the
breast bone of an old gobbler that
has died of starvation, you have the
great strong, manly lord of creation
where he is weak and tractible as a
child. Then you can wear him out
with an old razor that you have
shaved the whole universe with.
Then you can peel off one feature
after another and throw it into an
old nail keg, and when you slice
him up into sausage you can talk to
him and entertain him and make
him think he is having a bit of lux
ury ladled out to him such as no
other living man ever got. If a
female barber is handsome she can
shave her customers with bed Stat
and powder their faces with cay
enne pepper and giant powder, and
it will be all right. A humble fe-
male barber, however, would have
nothing to do but to hone up old
razors and think about the sombre
past.

A rough Horse story.

New Brunawick IN. J. Home News.
A certain horse in Sayreville fol-
twenty years has been a cart-hOrse
in a brick-yard, and the habit of GO
ing through a certain round of du-
ties day after day for eight months
in a year has enabled him to do
things which seem to indicate the
possession of mental faculties SIM
liar to those possessed by the hui
man race. 1t is an old saying
among farmers that crows cannot
count more than three, but this
horse has the ability to count sixty
five. His routine of labor is to
cart sixty-five loads of clay from the
pit to the spot where the clay is
mixed or ground, and then to go
for a load of cOal-duSt; and now
without anything being said or
done to indicate the fact to him,
when he has deposited his sixty-fith
load he turns away from the clay
pit and goes to the dock for a load
of the dust. This is not his only
popularity, for, when he goes to
the pit he backs his cart up himself
to the right place and will take only
w lltlG liC OOANClNCo W DC lIo
load. If more is put on he backs
and kicks, and rattles the cart about
until the load is reduced to what he
considers proper quantity. Hav-
ing such intellectual capacity, it is
not surprising to learn that he will
not be driven. AS soon as the lines
are touched he becomes fractions
and unmanageable, but a gentle ex-
PLANTATION of what is required of him
usually has the desired effect. 1t is
unnecessary to add that such an in
telligent horse will do no more work
after the whistle for dinner or sup
per sounds. All his companions in
the yard have wit enough for that,
and if they are on their way to the
pit for a load when the whistle
blows they all turn about and make
for the stable without any orders.
