1t Was Her Darn.
T From the London Truth. |

From the London Truth
must tell you something that hap
pened once in a country town where
dishonesty In the educated classes is
not SO safe as it is in the
cities. A girl I knew was one
day ransacking an old dover
chest and found among other things
long laid by an old-fashioned white
lace veil. 1t was about a yard and O.
quarter in length, and was quite g.
yard wide. The design was heavy and
rich along the edge, and the rest was
'sprigged" with small orange buds. 1t
had been the wedding veil of some an
cestress. The lace was beautifully fire
old Brussels, and of course, was val
liable. The girl was so delighted to find
it, rolled up among a lot of old linen,
that she impetuously dragged it out of
the chest, and in doing SO caught one
corner of it on g. wretched nail that
lurked unseen inside the big box.
However, she darned it SO skillfully
that it hardly showed, and she used
to wear this veil as a fchu, and lovely
it looked.
One very hot day, at g. garden
party, she left it in the bedroom of
her hostess, and, coming up to get it
IN the evening, could not find it any
where. 1t had disappeared, and,
though she was very sorry just at
first, she soon forgot all about it, as
girls will. She married and went to
India with her husband. Her mother
left the village. But last year, when
my old friend was home with her hus-
band on furlough, they met some old
acquaintance who had q place near
their former home, and, being asked
to go stay with them, they accepted.
On the very evening of their arrival
there was an amateur concert got up
by the musical people about, and of
course every one went, Jeanne and her
husband among the rest. They sat
Immediately behind q girl whom
Jeanne had known formerly, and
whom she recognized with pleas
ure, only waiting for q panse
IN the performance to attract her
attention. This, however, she did very
effectually before any pause came. In
q very piano part OF the solo that
was being sung, loud whisper rang
audibly through the room. This was
Jeanne, who had found her long lost
veil, recognized her own dainty little
stitches, and uttered aloud "My darn"
The girl before her turned round as did
everyone, and when she saw Jeanne
she grew as white as the laceit You
see, she had thought herself quite safe
in wearing it after that long time,
thinking Jeanne was in India. What
must she have felt when she turned
round and saw her sitting behind her?
The veil was restored next day, and
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES given which
Jeanne feigned to believe satisfactory.
A woman may forget her own child
women often do; but what woman
could forget her own darn?

A Trick on the Professor.
(From the Albany Express. J

tfrOIn the Albany EXprOSS.J
An exchange relates the following
good story at the expense of State
Geologist Hall: Geologist Hall, OF New
York, happened to hear Prot. Will
Jams declare, in d paper read during
a meeting of the American Scientific
Association, in 1884, that the spirifer
disiuncta and spirifer mesostrialis,
two kinds of fossils, existed side by
side in the same rocks. This brought
Prof. Hall to his feet with the state
ment: eff anyone will show me the
two spirifers side by side in the same
rock [ will sacrifice my lies work. I
will give up my reputation, eat my
hat, and make the person who shows
me the rock O. present of my coat and
boots" Prof. Williams said nothing,
but took the first train to Ithaca, and
returning the next day came to the
meeting and solemnly dumped q big
box of rocks on the floor. 1t was con-
signed to Prof Hall in the following
words: "The enclosed rock contains
the spirifer disjuncta and spirifer
mesostrialis side by side. You have
it. Please eat your hat and send me
your coat and boots by express

Death From a Singular Diseaes

Deacon Amos P. Kendall, of Palmer,
Mass, died recently of curious dis
ease that had caused the death of his
grandfather, father and two brothers.
In effect it was paralysis, and yet it
came on very gradually, without any
shock. Less than g. year ago Dec con
Kendall noticed lameness in a finger
on his left hand. The disorder de-
veloped gradually until, about five
months ago the left hand became help
less and danged from the wrist. Next
the calves of his legs were ATTACKED,
and in a couple of months more he
was forced to stop walking, and soon
after he was unable to move the left
leg at all. His mouth and throat
were then approached, the muscles
controlling the salivary glands weak
ened, which caused a ceaseless flow of
saliva. After that the progress of the
disease was rapid, and at the time of
his death he had lost his speech, save
a few gutteral sounds, was unaOie to
swallow or to move any member, save
one arm slightly and turn his head
somewhat. The paralyzed portions
retained the sense of touch and his
mlLd was perfectly clear to the last.

surprise for the little woman to whom
the day had been SO full of content.
Jim had worked for Mr.. Aiken for
more than year, and no one had
heard him speak an unnecessary word :.
he was faithful worker, and that was
all; if he had q heart be had ALWAYS
kepU it out of sight. But now he came
up to Mrs. Aiken and held out his
hand.
"Good night, ma am" he said, "and
thank you very much. This is the
first Thanksgiving I've had since I
came to California, and that is ten
years ago.
''That is not much to the credit of
those you have worked for, Jim, said
Mr.. Aiken, "and / take part of the
blame to myself; but there's one ranch
in California where Thanksgiving is al
ways going to be kept hereafter, and
wherever you are you may count
upon your welcome If you will come
and keep it with u.s."
Mrs. Aiken's eyes were suspiciously
bright. Were they sparkling with
unshed tears? Her husband turned
to her as they were left alone.
"Dear little wife," he said tenderly,
''if all else were gone and you were left
to me | would have cause enough for a
Thanksgiving Day" And then the
tears overfowed, but they were tears
| of giadness.

More Than Human Devotion.
From the Albany Journal. |


John Templeton is a blacksmith who
owns B. fine specimen of the English
mastiff. Last week Mr. Ienpleton
was working at his forge, putting q new
steel in the point of pick. The steel
was slightly burned in the heating,
and, instead Of welding, flew in half a
dozen pieces. One piece struck the
blacksmith above the right eye with
UGH force as to fasten itself in firm.
The blacksmith staggered and fell
backward How long he was uncon-
scious he does not know, but when he
revived the dog lay in the middiao of the
shop crying almost like q human being,
and rubbing his jaws in thee of tue
floor. The piece OF steel that had
struck Mr.. Templeton lay q short dis.
lance from the dog The faithful ami
NAL had seized the hot steel with his
teeth and drew it from thefrontal bone
of Mr.. Templeton's head. The dogs
mouth was found to be badly burned.

Warm Water for Stock.

Domestic animals require more food
IN winter than In summer. This is be-
cause it takes q large amount of food
to maintain animal heat. Hence the
well-known fact that a. warm stable
effects a great saving OF feed. There is
another point that has received too
little attention. If the drinking water
be ice-cold it will require the consump-
ton of much extra feed (fueD to bring
it up to blood heat in the stomach.
The animal is taxed to digest and as
simulate this extra load of food above
that required for the ordinary pur-
poses of sustaining life and making
muscle and fat. Would it not pay for
the farmer, in addition to warm
stables to have some method Of warm
ING the water for his flock? Wood and
coal are certainly cheaper fuel than
hay and grain. At least it will pay to
give water fresh from well, and not
allow it to stand until chilled. To al
low them to drink from g. frozen
stream or pond is wasteful and bar
barOus.-Prairie Farmer.

FARM AND HOME.
One Cat Too MANY.


We had fine large yellow cat,
And lovely tortoise shell,
And pretty Maltese kitten that
Played all day long with Bell
And then there was poor black and-White
With her one timid kit,
But in the whole broad house was found
No room for her and it.
The yellow cat on the gate-post sat
And blinked adown the street
The tortoise shell on silken mat
Slept at Aunt Phebe's feet,
The Maltese kitten ran and played
And climbed in papa's boot,
But black-and-whie was in the way
And always under foot.
So one dark night, shut In bag,
She and her kit were sent
On a long road, three miles or more,
To good old Mistress Brent,
Whose house was filled with rats and mice,
But not one kit or cat
In all the world what better place
For blackand-white than that?
But ere the daybreak, at our door,
Wet with the dews of night
With her tired kitten at her side
MiauWed poor black and white,
For she, Though all the cold and dark,
Poor, homeless homesick cat,
Had travelled for her love OF us
long, rough road like that.
And now she shall not go again,
But in our barn shall stay
And purr and sleep and make deep nests
In the warm, fragrant hay.
Her kitten shall grow sleek and fat
And every morn and night
I'll carry milk and speak kind words
To our good black and-white.
