He started for the city, and went directly
to the dealer from whom it was bought,

4 German Stsvs

I'm going to bed that night we got ON
6rst insight into the mysteries Of Ger
man stoves and beds. German rooms,
as all well-regulated foreign rooms are,
are cold in winter. In the corner of our
room stood china or delaware concern
which the waiter was pleased to inform
us was stove. 1t was at least seven
feet high, and two feet and q hall
square. The monotony of its white,
glistening, glazed exterior was relieved
by an attempt to deceive one into the
belief that it was built of separate bricks,
while for ornament it bore around its
top border of impossible raised how-
ers, and half way down one side an
impossible raised angel, with outspread
wings, surrounded BY a wreath of inn
possible raised flowers, in much the same
style of art one sees on the Old-day tea
pots in the familiar illustration of ERE
becca at the Well" Well, the waiter
opened q polished door of sheet brass on
one side of this monolith, about . foot
from the floor, and exposed an iron
door, bearing . peg, from which
peg depended q key. With the
key he unlocked this second door
and brought to view q third door Of
barred iron. He opened the third door
and we gazed into q little chamber about
a foot square. Into this chamber he
put little piece of paper, small hand
full of wood and still smaller handful
of coal. He touched off the paper,
closed the inner door, and proceeded to
open the windows, for that stoye smoked
most Internally. We went down stairs
until that stove had gotten through with
its smoke. When we went up again tho
waiter had shut all three doors not for
getting the middle one, and had left that
little smothered handful of Goals to warm
up that great stove and our great room.
The Germans claim that they get
maximum amount Of heat out of these
stoves with the expenditure of min
imum amount of fuel, and that there
is no danger of fire from them economy
and safety, two German characteristics.
/ can vouch for the minimum amount
of fuel, but on the question of heat am
inexorably silent. They must be safe,
for it is a physical impossibility for .
little, smothered fire to get out of q
stove with solid walls half q foot thick
and defended by three doors, one of them
locked and the key on the outside

While you are applying yourself to the
practical solution of this question, people
will wonder that you like to dress 50
shabbily. They will calculate by the
fashion of it how long you have worn
that ifteen-dollar dress for best. After
they get used to that, accept it as . part
of yourself and cease to remark with
their eyes, the right year will come
around for you to have a winter hat, and
it will be so strange thing for you to do
the hat will contrast so forcibly with
your cheap, antiquated; draggled-look-
ing gown and the threadbare old cloak
that you had before you ever taught,
that you will at once become again the
observed of all observers.
Some teachers are supported by their
fathers. Your ambition is to support
yourself and save $500, that you may re-
tire gracefully to tho Old Ladies' Home
when past teaching. Believe me, dear,
il is wild ambition.
There is one thing, though, that you
might do. You might become . mission
ary, and these people will subscribe liber-
ally to send you to South Africa or ia
pan. You would receive more there than
they will pay you for teaching their own
children here. But dare say you would
find that that situation, like every other,
has its own disadvantages.
II you decide to teach, I wish you
'.good luck;" and it is only fair to add.
as another bit Of my experience, that If
you can manage to get on without the
money. teaching viii bring you what is
worth more than money.

The first shade Of constraiut between them

She was looking into the fire; she lifted her

Lady Adelah had not cared for many people in
her life. but those she did care for were per-
feet in her eyes. Edgar, under all these changed
circumstances had become . hero. She had
been half in love with him before he came ;

which she turned to him-hsppiness, enthusi-
asm, and still Q little shade OF dignity.

Such an evening as that was well worth the
hardships and dangers Of seven years.

Most Of Lady Adela's friends were rather
shocked at the news of her engagement, and
especially Mrs. Sackville, whose one idea had
been that her niece should make what she was

to reason with Adela, who was obliged to con-
fess that she cared for geography no more than
her aunt did.
"But, why then, my child! what makes him
such heroa" cried Mrs. Sackville. "Do con-
slider, dearest; you don't look more than two

Adela shook her head, smiling.
"What Is the attraction! You always used
to say that you could not marry without being
in love. Now, surely"
''But, do you see, Aunt Mary, am in love,

David Davis said to some ladies:
Why do you permit yourselves to be
placed in the ignominious position Of
coming here, begging favors of the Gov
eminent, where there are thousands ready
to crowd you to the wall and fight you
for every favor that you ask? You all
look intelligent. Why do you not 60
out and learn to become cooks, house

and then you will be certain of . good

had got thus far.

The Hanson Leaf.

The Hanson cab, an oddly-shaped
affair, resembles the hood part of an old
fashioned gig, running between two high
wheels, considerably behind the horse,
the drivers seat perched up behind the
entrance to the interior between him
and the horse through two doors that,
when shut, cover the legs of the passen-
ger, who can be still further protected
from the weather by glass window,
manipulated by the driver, and which
unfolds so as to join the doors. A small
trap-door in the roof affords communities.
ton with the driver.
As drivers the London hanson cab
bies excel the world. The skill dis
played by them while vending their
way at terrific speed through such
thoroughfares as the Strand, Cheapside,
and Fleet Street is marvellous. Such .
thing as collision never occurs. They
drive, as rule, first-rate horses, from
the fact that there are none 50 vicious
that the hanson cabby cannot bring
under subsection. The vehicle is with
propriety called the patent safety, as no
accident happening to one of them can
possibly injure the passenger. The
horse is too far ahead to do any damage
by kicking, and were he to fall down,
or an axle to break, the body of the
vehicle is so low the fall would scarcely
cause q jar. As to running away, the
cabby's high perch and leverage against
the horses mouth. by the reins passing
over the top of the cab and then down
to the bit at an angle of forty degrees.
renders such an occurrence impossible.
The cabbies' knowledge of the great city
is another source of wonder, because, II
the exact address is given they will
surely findi They are hard class,
however, and although lively one will
make great deal of money. there are
very few of them who own cabs and
horses. They are either the property of
companies of job masters who take out
licenses for the cab. the cabby taking
out his simply rs driver, hence it is
that the number of the cab invariably
differs from that on the cabby's badge.
The average price of hire per day. in
GLIDING q change of horses is from
eighteen to twenty-five shillings. Once
ON the street they have the privilege to
stop at any public stand, and from
which they are compelled to answer
any call, and drive anywhere within the
city limits, provided their horse Is in
condition to 60; this, in obstinate cases
is decided by policeman, or, If nee
essary, the nearest magistrate. While
in motion, however, though without .
load, they may pass q call unnoticed
and the police cannot interfere. The
cabbies have lingo among themselves
which adds to their unsimiliarity to
other people, it consists of q reversion
of our language, speaking it backwards
thus defying the unintiated to understand
them.-Chicago Nescs.

4 GIRL OF The PERIOD.

Y, she was 50 utterly utter!
enc couldn't eat plain bread and butter;
but nibble she'd take
- At wafer Of cake,
And the wing of quail for her supper;
Roast beef and pium-pudding she'd sneer ct
"A Doiied leg OF mutton she'd Jeer at
But the leg of a frog
Might her appetite jog,
OE some delicate bit which came near that;
Althe Boston baked beans You could mention
But was fond of the use
OF the liver Of goose,
which the name Is q bone of cOntentionl
The consequence was she grew paler.
And wishy-er, washy-er, Trailer.
Ate less for her dinner
Grew thinner and thinner
Till really think.
If you marked her with ink,
Put an envelope on her
And stamped It upon her,
!ou could go to the Office and mail herl
AND she talked with a lisp and Q stutter.
For she was so utterly utter.
o, she was so very aesthetic!
Her face was quite long and pathetic,
The ends Of her hair
Floated loose on the air.
And her eyes had a sadness prophetic,
Her air was 30 mildly distracted
Inat you felt all your gush counteracted;
Were straight, and deliciously horrid;
And q sadcOlored gown
Going straight up and down
PUG WOIc Wucu Cuc Wc8t00f was lOFf10p
It was terribly hard to enthuse her.
But q bit of old china would fuse her,
And she'd glow like coal or candle,
At the mention of Bach or of Handel,
At pinks and sweet-williams and roses
She made the most retFOusse noses,
But would swOon with delight
At a sunfiower bright,
And use 1t making her poses.
She moved with the sleepiest motion,
As II not quite used to the notion,
And her manner was chill
AS waterfOWrs bill
when he's fresh from dip in the OceanI
Her voice was 80 low and so thrilling,
Its cadence was perfectly killing;
The colOrs she wore were all shaded,
As II they were washed and had faded;
Her manner was dimly Quiescent.
As though she were lust convalescent.
1t was quite the reverse Of ma9netic,
But oh, it was very aesthetic!
And if, with your old-fashioned notions,
You could wish that more cheerful emotions
More sunshine and grace,
Should appear in her face,
More Rladness should speak in her motions
If you looked with q hOmesicH detection
At the changes in voice and infection;
And sighed for smooth tresses,
And plain, simple dresses,
That used to command your affection;
il you longed for bright eyes in whose glancine
The light of future was dancing,
And glanced back with fond admiration,
At the freshness and sweet inspiration,
The dainty, trim figure and features,
W hlch used to belong to young creatures;
hide your rash thought in your bosom
Or If you must speak out and use them,
Then under your breath you should mutter;
For she is too utterly utter?
Wide Atr0kE,
