She tried to speak, but the words
died in her throat. She made an effort
to thread her needle. Anxious to en-
gage her whole attention, MIR. Hall
took her hand and uttered sharp ex-
clamation as the needle pierced his
thumb.
"Flo suspected this" whispered Miss
Carson.
"Ha! She did? What did she say?"
"Oh, she liked you very much then,
but lately"
"Oh, know 1 have been fool, but

"And l am the happiest woman. she
murmured. "Oh, MIR. Hall. or Jacob,

In her agitation she covered her face
with the stocking she had been darning
and wept. There was All awful silence.
Mr.. Halls tongue was paralyzed. Was

was too much"
"Flo's engagement!'' said Mr.. Hall.
in voice so hollow that it startled
him.
"Yes, they have been engaged ever
since the night YOU saw them in the
parlor, but Flo would not tell me be-
cause she says was uni just to MIR. Fay.
There has been quite a change in Mr..
Fay's affairs. He was quite poor and
was obliged to send part of what
money he made to support his widowed
mother. The same day that he pro-
posed to Flo he had received letter
stating that fortune had been left him
by an uncle in Philadelphia.
Mr. Hall waited to hear no more.
He seized his hat and rushed from the
house. His tenant was waiting at the
office to see him. "You intimated that
you wanted the house, MIR. Hall, but
I called for q definite answer before
"dHG tuC

for five years if you like Call this
afternoon.
Left alone he hurled his face in his
hands and reflected deeply. Whether
he wished it or not, he was engaged to
Miss Carson. He tried to remember
just what he had said, but could not re-
call his words. Possibly in his cOnfu-
sion he had proposed. Well. she was a
good woman, and might make better
wife than her niece. He remembered
how kindly she had nursed him through
the rheumatism two years ago. Yes. it
was all for the best. He went to one
of the large stores on State street and
bought handsome piece of velvet for
a dress. ''She shall have a pair of
diamonds to wear with it, he said,
with chuckle. His tenant called in
the afternoon. Mr.. Hall told him that
he had again changed his mind. The
tenant left. deeply disgusted.

on PAGEANT NIGHT,

Another remarkable spectacle will be
witnessed, and effects produced never
before attempted in any city of the world.
The parade will be the grandest in ex-
tent known in the history of mystic
pageantry. The costumes, all entirely
new, were made in Paris, and beyond all
comparison the finest ever imported to
this country. The unparalleled number
of Forty Tableau Floats will be in line,
and will be larger and more imposing in
construction than ever before known.
Some conception of the amazing extent
OF the pageant may be CLEANED from the
fact that upwards of thirteen hundred
men, two hundred and thirty horses, six
bands, and six hundred carried lights are
required to place it upon the streets.
No advance will be made in the usual
rates for hotel accommodat ions, either in
Baltimore or Washington, visitors being
enabled to stop in either city, the Balti-

WI. 1dll UccdIue jealous Oh MI. SCOWc,
of Mr.. Wilkins, of Mr.. Crane, and mad
ly jealous of Mr.. Fay. That the latter
was the handsomest man in the house
he could not deny, and Mr.. Hall hated
him bitterly.
Finally matters >came to q climax.
Mr.. Hall peeped into the parlor one
evening when he knew Flo and Fay to
be there alone. He heard the word
"Darling"-he saw Mr.. Fay kiss her
hand!
1t was enough. He went to Miss Car
son with the whole story. 1t was i'm
proper, it was shocking. Who knew
anything about Fay? Who knew that
he had not q wife already Miss Car
son agreed with Mr.. Hall as matter of
course. She was severe with her niece
for the first time.
''What do you know against Arthur

'Wel, nothing definite, but Mr.. Hall
does not like him, and
Flo's eyes flashed. Mr.. Halls med
ding was uncalled for, she said, and
when his advice was needed, she would
let him know.
After this she snubbed her elderly
adorer numerically. II he ventured .
remark she answered - curtly that his
breath was almost taken away.
Mr.: Hall became wretched. He re-
solved to lay the whole case before Miss

CHAMBERS IN HORSES.

Every horsepower is more or less
acquainted with that loathsome dis
ease the CHAMBERS, and every one should
be aware that it is both contagious and
fatal, not only to horses, but also to
mankind. The fact that the disease
has to this day bafiled all treatment is
sufficient reason why the detection of
CHAMBERS in stable is always looked
upon as serious. If the disease always
assumed the same characters, if every
glandered horse presented the three
special symptoms essentially belonging
to it, namely, the greenish, sticky, and
at times bloody discharge at the nose,
the hard, painless, and adherent swoll-
en- glands at the jaws, and, above all,
the peculiar and characteristic ulcer
ations of the mucous membrane upon
the cartilage OF the cavities of the nose,
there would be no difficulty in recog-
nizing the disease and condemning the
animal thus afflicted as most danger
GUS. But this is not always the case
This disease assumes many forms.
Sometimes only slight glandular en-
largement, again discharges from the
nostrils, while in third animal neither
of these will exist, and only small ul-
GERS will be detected in the upper angle
Of the nostrils. Still the animal is Just
rs dangerous as if il showed all the
symptoms fully developed; in fact,
oven more dangerous, for while in this
condition it may apparently be in per-
feet health, its skin presenting nothing
unusual to the ordinary observer. The
horse may remain in good condition,
feel as well as ever, be able 10 do its
work, and remain thus for months,
and communicate the CHAMBERS to
many animals who may come in con-
tact with il. Ii is necessary to detect
the disease at the start, and for this
no one should be better qualified than
the regular veterinarian-he who has
by his studies become familiar with
the different aspects of the disease.
If once detected, there must be no hes
itation; certainty of the existence of
the disease should mean death 10 the
animal affected. Unless il is killed.
most serious, even fatal consequences,
may follow.
The duty of the owner of an animal
in suspicious condition is TO have il
examined at once. If there is no
doubt about the disease, the horse
must be destroyed at ONE. If there is
doubt, it should he isolated, and rath-
cr thsn wait for the development of
all the symptoms, which may take a
long time, incubation of the matter
from the discharge can be made on an
old horse, dog or a rabbit, but still
better on an old mule or donkey
This incubation will produce CHAMBERS,
no matter how small the quantity of
virus if taken from glandcred horse.

APPLE BUTTER.

Pennsylvania is famous, among other
things, for apple butter or "strong ap.
pie sauce as it is called in New Eng.
land. and Penn sylvania farmers wife
tells the Germantown Telegraph how
she makes it, as follows;
"Takc thirty gallons of sweet cider,
that just from the press is TO be pre-
ferred-boii il down TO one-third the
quantity, and then add about two
bushels of pared, quartered and cored
sweet apples, about onc-third at a
time, judging as to the quantity of
apples. Stir the whole mass constant
ly with a loBg-handled wooden stirrer,
reaching down to the bottom. This
stirrer must be four or five inches
broader at the bottom, rounded little
TO fit the bottom of the kettle, and
have half-dozcn or more holes bored
through it. The mass must be kept
boiling and stirred until the whole is
reduced to one-half the original guam
tity of cider, assumes dark color and
Is perfectly smooth and palatable.
When done it should be put in jars,
well tied over with paper, and placed
in good cool place. Otherwise, it
may "work" and lose a great deal of
its value"

EvAP0RATED FRUIT.

a lady writer in an exchange SAYS /:
"In the fall of 1880 l visited large
fruit cvaporator near us, and saw the
lovely cream white rings as they came
from the wire-cloth frame packed in
huge boxes ready to ship. They
looked good enough for Nictoria's
table. ] went home, having ascer-
tanned that the cream color was the
result of bleaching in the fumes of sui
phur, and procured a machine that
pared, cored and sliced the apples into
spiral rings at one operation, and then
set the basket filed with the rings in
an ordinary packing box over the
fumes of sulphur TO bleach. The sui
phur was thrown on few live Goals
In an ash-pan, one teaspoonful at a
time, and the box was closed about
fifteen minutes. This bleached several
baskets of rings almost as white as a
sheet of paper. The apples were then
spread and dried in the ordinary way,
and they retained their beautiful
creamy color when dry. They were
then packed in paper bags and put
away. When cooked in the spring
they were entirely free from smell or
taste of sulphur, and as fresh and
pulpy rs green apples. No one that
has ever tried them recognized them
as dried apples. Two or three small
sacks were left over until this year
without any further care. On OPEN

Tested them. Housekeepers will ap-
preciate this, as much fruit is lost
every year from these pests. Those
living in the country who are drying
apples, berries, etc, will find their
fruit much improved and made abso-
lutcly worm-proof by a few minutes

1t is well known fact that the meat
Of hogs six or eight months old is far
more tender, juicy and valuable than
the meat of hogs that are from twelve
to eighteen months old. The English
cured bacon has always had the repu-
tation of being very superior article
Of its kind, and one of the reasons of
this is probably owing to the fact that
it is all made of young hogs. Among
the packing houses in this country
that are engaged in supplying the
English market with American cured
bacon, there is constant, strong de-
mand all the time for light, middling
fat bacon hogs-that is, young hogs
six to eight months old, weighing one
hundred and seventy to two hundred
pounds.

A New York physician attributes a
large part of the excessive mortality
Of children in hot weather to the all
ure of nurses and mothers to give
them water. Indeed, more children
are said to die directly and ind rectly)
from privations of water than from any
other cause. Infants, he says, are al
ways too much wrapped up, and in
many eases would per>pire very freely.
The water lost by Precipitation must
be supplied. AS DR.. Murdoch stated
in his naper on cholera iufantum,
'rhe child is thirsty, not hungry; but
not getting the water. which it does
want, it drinks the milk which it does
not want" The consequnce is that
the stomach is overloaded with food
that it cannot digest, and which soon
ferments and becomes source of Sc
we're irritation. Then follow vomiting,
purging and cholera infantun. To
prevent this, the principal scourge of
infancy the doctor say: Have
water, without ice, always accessible
to the child, who will then refuse sour
milk and will eat only when hungry.
Water is the great indi~l ensable ar
ticle for the preventive treatment of
children in hot weather. 1t is inn
portant enough to nursing children,
but il is life itself to those reared on
the bottle.n
