NIrs. K. P. Avery, widow Of the
late Henry Avery, was poisoned at
her home in Baton Rouge, last Sat
urday morning. by 4 little white
girl she was raising. It appears
that Mrs. Avery sent the girl to
make her a cup of coffee. After
being absent some time the girl re-
turned with the coffee, and told
Mrs. Avery to stir it and drink it
quick. On tasting the coffee, Mrs.
Avery found that it had an un-
natural flavor, and called her son
to taste it. This he did. splitting
the fluid out without swallowing
any of it. Shortly afterwald Mrs.
Avery became very i'll, and it was
evident that she had been poison
ed. Drs. Burlington and Renaud
were at once summoned, and after
u hard fight succeeded in saving
the lady's life.
Suspicion at first rested upon a
colored woman residing in the
yard, with whom there had been
some trouble, and on affidavit was
made against her. but after inves-
tigation it was found that the little
girl, Henrietta Ripper, had pur-
chased strychnine the morning
previous. She was questioned and
acknowledged to have purchased
the poison and to have put it in the
coffee, An affidavit was at once
made against her, and the one made
against the colored woman with

The Mushroom Industry.

The growing of mushrooms, an industry
at yet little developed in this country, as
sumes vast proportions in the neigh hbor-
hood of the French metropolis. Whether
the Partisan epicures have an especial
weakness for this most delicious of veget-
ables, whether their gardeners are more
enterprising and skilfuI than those of our
cities, or whether the immense abandoned
stone quarries in the vicinity of Paris offer
unusually favorable conditions for mush-
room growing, does not appear. The fact
however, is not to be disp puted, that the
environs of this great city produce more
mushrooms than those of any other city
of which we have knowledge. Her sub
terranean caverns cannot solve the whole
mystery, for large quantities are produced
above ground, and in private gardens
thrifty beds of this delicacy may often be
seen growing IN tubs, boxes, or even upon
simple wide boards lying upon the
ground.
When we are told that the average
daily production of the Paris mushroom
growers amounts to 25 tons, we may be-
gin to realize something of the Importance
of the business. OF course this vast
amount is not all consumed by the Pari
slams. On the contrary, a large proportion
IS preserved in various ways, for shipment
20 other cities and countries, and In many
of the far inland towns of our own coun-
try we may purchase French mushrooms
at the better class of grocery stores at
fancy prices.

Good Coffee.

Mrs. Corson, In a lecture, says: It IS one
of the simplest things in the world to
make good cup of coffee, and this can
easily be accomplished by applying a lit
tie common sense. If you put boiling
water on coffee, and do not let 1t boil, you
have all the good qualities preserved.
One reason dyspeptics can not drink cof-
fee Is because it is boiled The style of
coffee Is just a matter of fancy. 1 have
made as good coffee from an old tomato
can as 1 have ever supped from a cup fill
ed from the finest French coffee urn. We
should take lessons In this matter from
the Turks and Arabians, who grind their
coffee to fine powder. When the coffee
is ground as fine possible put 1t in
little bag of unbleached muslin, which
should be tied tightly enough to prevent
the escape of the grounds. If You use
cup Of ungroUnd coffee you can make
ever quart of very strong, black coffee,
In making coffee many people sacrifice
flavor for strength. Bitterness comes
from boiling. When boiling water is
placed on the bag of ground coffee 10
should stand at least three minutes be-
fore serving. Remember, the longer 10
stands the stronger 1t becomes.

Linen That Has Turned yellow.

When linen has turned yellow cut up a
pound OF fine white soap into gallon of
milk and hang it over fire IN a wash
kettle. When the soap has completely
melted put in the linen and boil tt half
an hour, then take It out. Have ready
lather OF soap and water, wash the linen
in It, and then rinse It through two cold
waters, with a very little blue IN the last.
When linen is scorched use the following
remedy: Add a quart of vinegar, the
Juice Of half dozen large oniens, about
an ounce of soap rasped down, fourth Of
a pound of fuller's earth, an ounce of
lime, and one ounce of pearlash Boil
the whole until It is pretty thick, and
spread some of It upon the scorched part.
Allow It to remain until dry, then scrape
1t off and wash Two or three applica-
tions will restore the linen. unless so
much scorched that the fiber is destroyed.
A little pipe clay dissolved in the wster
used for washing linen will clean it thor
oughly, with half the amount OF soap and
a great diminution OF labor. The article
will be greatly improved IN color, and the
texture will be benefited

tain day.
James, like a kind brother, consented,
but with an odd twinkle in his eve,
which Pauline could not quite under
stand When that evenings train from
Boston brought Mr.. Warburton and his
adopted daughter, May, for a visit of
some weeks, James eyes seemed to
twinkle more brightly than ever; and, of
his own accord, he invited Miss May to
Join their party on the following day.
May accepted the invitation with sup
pressed sigh. Hearing which, James
smiled so broadly that Pauline hunted
him speedily INTO a corner, and demanded a
share of his secret, whatever it might be.
But James proved obdurate. She would
know all. he said, at the gallery, where
the name of the successful artist was TO be
proclaimed on the following day.
Pauline reflected moment.
.'Oh - she exclaimed; and her eyes be-
gan to dance in their turn.
But not one word said the little traitress
to her friend May. Only she took care
that their visit to the gallery should be
paid al very early hour before the fash
ionabI wcrld had scarcely risen from
their beds
Early as It was however, one gentleman
StOOO DelOTC lile lhIllOuS piCIuTS, gazing
intently at the beautiful golden-haired
guardian angel, who, with white waving
wings, bent forward over the shoulder of
dark-browed man, walking heedlessly
on hower-strewn descent, toward fear
full gulf, and drew from his unwilling
hand golden cup overlooking with wine.
Pauline gave one swift glance at the
angel in the picture and at the solitary
gazer. Then she touched her brothers
arm, and while May went unsuspectingly
forward, the two vanished into an inner
room, where a portrait gallery had been
recently improvised.
Hearing the light step behind him the
artist turned away with a crimsoning
brow, from the contemplation of his own
picture.
But, with his first glance at the face of
the newcomer, he paused.
May, unheeding him in her haste to see
the picture, lifted her eyes to the canvas.
She stood rooted to the spot in her amaze
ment, her heart throbbing, her color ris-
ing, and at last, her blue eyes filing with
tears
"Oh, Paulinel" she exclaimed, in an
agitated tone. 1t must be his picture
No one else could have painted it He is
saved p'
Yes, thanks to you sweet angel, un-
der God, he Is saved r' replied deep
voice.
She turned, and met the dark eyes of
the artist gazing at her in worship.
"May-my little May-wiu you take
the life you rescued - he asked.
With a noble courage she laid her hand
in his. And now no home is happier than
that of the famous painter, where his
sweet Guardian Angel" smiles upon his
walls, and dwells enshrined within his
loving heart.

HIS GUARDIAN.

"Fair as a lily, graceful as a gazelle
Who is she / would give a thousand
dollars if I might but paint that face r'
The words were spoken hurriedly, and
somewhat too loudly for the time and
place.
Many bystanders heard them, and
looked at the speaker, the lady, then at
each other, and smiled
But the lady herself-a young, slight
girl with large blue eyes, pale, golden hair,
anda face like the picture of a saint, so
fair and pure it tseemed-held on her way,
leaning on her escorts arm, without
change of expression or even a startled
sidelong glance, to show that the artists
impetuous wish had reached her ear
Calmly she sat in her box at the concert
that evening, with her blue eyes fixed up
on the stage. Many an opera glass was
turned upon her from below, and in Sc
cluded corner Of the stalls sat Gervase
Livingstone, the artist, gazing at her,
with his heart and soul in his large, dark,
passionate eyes.
Who can she be 2" he whispered to an
intimate friend.

was the low reply
" 4 new one! 1t looks as il it was but

she lived, she would have been like that

said that he had seen the young lady
drive of in private carriage before the
concert was over, with " a gentleman as
might be her father, sir, and they went to
the Everett House"
To the Everett House followed the en-
amored artist, only to be disappointed.
The servant whom he feed literally as
sured him that no such young lady was
stopping there. Some wild impulse, for
which he could scarcely account, led the
artist to examine the hotel register. He
looked for the name of MAY Cameron -
it was the name of his earliest love-and
It was not there.

Meanwhile the fair object of his search
was speeding from the city as fast as the
midnight train could carry her toward
Boston. Although the hour was so late,
she WIS wakeful, and clasped her hands
over her eyes as she rested her head on
the pillow, in a vain attempt to shut ont
from mind and memory the picture of
haunting face.

door.
And then she blushed at the memory
of the words he had uttered.

"Does your brother think-does he con-

May, with trembling voice.
Hearing it, and the suppressed sob that
followed the question, Pauline Danforth,
who was a kind hearted little city belle,
came out of her nest and sat down beside
her friend.
Dear May, my brother James has
often said that if Livingstone had a reason
"A motive-for reforming, his reform
would be a settled thing"
"What motive ?"
''I explain myself bunglingly, I fear.
James meant, my dear May, that if Liv-

the lady might work his reformation

"Ife loves no one then, at present ~
No one, May. James says that he be-
