BUFFALO, n. Y, Sept. II, 1884.
GENTLEMEN-You do not sufficiently extol

five years, up to about two years ago, had
attacks of this description, lasting from three
to five weeks. During these periods was I'M

A Dual Existence,
Ioa4on1 Tinlee.

The other day curious case came be-
fore Mr.. Justice Chitty, which, as far as
have seen, has not been reported in any
Of the papers. A gentleman called Pound
left will by which he bequeathed his en-
tire property to his wife, Mrs. Pound. A
gentleman called jackson also left will
by which the lady who was known as
Mrs. Jackson became his sole legatee.
Pound and jackson eventually turned out
to be one and the same person, and the
question arose as to who was entitled to
his property. The technical points of the
case were not OF general interest; but it
seems a most extraordinary thing that a
man could not only lead a completely
dual existence undetected, but that he
should almost deceive himself into believ-
ing that he was two different persons.

And a flirting phantom hideth,

Think not, dear reader, that lived in
the house with a mystery without being
often troubled with temptations and har-
rassed by vague fears and sometimes bit
ter thoughts. There was scarcely day
nasspd that was not reminded in some
way that was IN the family, but not
sharer in its most sacred condolences.
The brave resolution not to pry into
things that my husband had told me were
wisely withheld from me was often we'll
nigh broken. Nothing but the great love
bOre him enabled me to be happy and
frue. NV chief temptation became kind
of mental warning against the charge
impOsed upon me by Aunt Miriam's will
and letters. L knew that there must be
treasures hidden in that upper closet,
that nv religious convictions told me
OUGHT TO be in use; for my husbands
nOWerfuI influence was every day drawing
me nearer and closer into the "true llte."
How earnestly he lived that "life" no one
hut his wife could know! Convinced that

at once. in spite of my tears about ap-
nroachfng him in regard to the upper
chamber, all might have gone well during
our sshOneymOOn," at least; but grew
more timid each day-my moods more Mt

seize me, while, at another, Eugene would

HENRY MILLER'E LUCK.

CduiOfn;d Eye
Nestled close by the saloon at Grand
Forks, in the very heart of the peaks
of the Sierras, was the home Of Henry
Miller, brother of Joaquin Miller. He
had very sensible woman for q wife,
who bore him beautiful son.
When the child was three weeks old,
Mr.. Miller, in a waggish way, told the
boys" he had "struck it rich" and had
at that very time nugget at his house
that weighed twelve pounds. If any OF
them doubted his word, they could call
at the house at any time and be con-
vinced.
In few minutes a delegation of
miners filed out of the saloon and made
stright line for Miller's home.
They were very courteously received
by Mrs. Miller, who listened to the
story OF their errand. and with twinkle
in her eyes, concluded to keep up the
joke. The speaker of the party be-
gan:
"They tell lis, Mrs Miller, that your
husband has struck it rich"
Indeed he has, replied Mrs. Mil
Ter.
Has he pre-empted his claim?"
Il think he certainly has"
What price docs he ask for his
mine?"
Il really don't think he would take q
cool million for it."
'1s the specimen very fne?"
Indeed. it is more precious than dia-
monds to me-
LET us see it, will you?"
Certainly" said Mrs. Miller, as she
advanced to the cradle and lift d out a
handsome twelve-pound boy, and exhib-
tied it to the astonished gaze of the
good-hesrted but puzzled miners. They
took the joke very good-naturedly, and
laughing heartily left the house without
very ceremonious leave-taking.
Mackay, the millionaire. was one of the
duped miners.

fancy. tor after one has become accustomed
things in them it will be difficult to give
them mp. They are made in every style and
of every kind of material
If for bedrooms, they should match In color
with the other bright or sombre colois used
there, One very simple and pretty way to
make them is to make the bag Of white
butchers linen; cut it square and have it
about fifteen inches each way Across the
top and bottom put on a strip of Canton tlan
mel three inches wide: sew this to the linen
with fancy stitches, then draw three circles
at equal distances apart and about the size Of
a hali-dol!ar. Work these. commencing at
the centre and going up in straight lines to
the circumference, with three or four shades
OF yellow embroidery silk. The bag is not
gathered at the top, hut has two blue strings
attached to the corners to hang it by. The
bottom of the bag may be ornamented by
strip OF butchers linen fringed out, or by
row o: torchon across the bottom, slightly
fulled on, or it may be lef. plain.
Another way is to have the bottom Of the
bag Of band of silk, sateen or velvet, five
inches wide, and the rest Of the bag, which
should be ten inches or more long, of one

for about five inches and shir 30 stitched
there and ribbon run in. Aida canvas bags,
made in the shape of the first one mentioned,
are very pretty. Embroider some snowy
figure or pattern on the canvas, and have the
upper part of silk with very narrow ribbon
to hang it by. The canvas so extensively
used by tailors in gentlemens coats make
nice and serviceable bags. This may be used
in place of butchers linen
Still another style is to take piece Of silk
three-quarters of a yard long and twelve
inches wide, line it with silesia, sew it up in
long and narrow bag, leaving an opening In
tho centre large enough to insert your hand,
gather the ends and finish with tassel, slip
two small rings of bone or Of brass over these
ends up to each side Of the opening. These
are made up especially to hang over rod or
the knob of a door that is not used often, and
made very ornamental. Outline work shows
to good advantage on brown canvas, and
cashmere is pretty for the upper part Of the

Save the Old Paper.


Never throw away old papcr. II you have
no wish to sell it, use it in the house. Some
housekeepers prefer it to cloth for cleaning
many articles Of furniture.
For instance, a volume written by lady
says: After stove has been blackened it

by rubbing it with paper every morning.
Rubbing with paper is much nicer way of
keeping tea-kettle, coffee pot, and tea pot
bright and clean than the old way Of wash
ing them in suds. Rubbing with paper is
also the best way of polishing knives, tin
ware and spoons; they shine like new silver.
For polishing mirrors, lamp chimneys,
etc, paper is better than dry cloth. Pre-
serves and pickles keep much better II brown
paper instead Of cloth is tied over the jar.
