herself. 1T is a good maxim; Never BE-
really angry; don't even seem to be angry
often. l should have had Sophy crying, and
yet her against Prendergast for life, and all
on account Of my own hasty judgment"
Prendergasts coming to Kettlewell was in
a marked way. He did not stay with any
body, but put up at the hotel; and, when he
called on the Temples, he said that he had
run over for a few days, in the hope of in
creasing the pleasant acquaintance with
themselves.
Mrs. Barbara Temple beamed on him one
of her brightest looks.
@You speak of your pleasure in renewing
the acquaintance" she said. "You say
nothing about ours. l can never forget all
your attention to US in Paris. And what a

EGERTON DOOLITTLE GIVES HIS VOICE FOR
SEVERE MEASURES.
When Mrs, Barbara Temple was ushered
into Caroline's drawing room, she caught
sight of the young husband and wife sitting
side by side on a sofa. Her coming was evil
IDENTIFY unexpected, and Egerton, calculating
my gracious!' dashed out into a conserva-
tory adjoining the drawing room, while
Caroline, composing herself, met her mother
with just the smallest signs of momentary con-
fusion. The little woman glanced at two
love birds perched side by side in a cage
which hung over the conservatory threshold,
and then she recalled Sibyl, sitting in her
lonely splendor,
"For some things" our little Pilpay re-
marked privately, 'for Some things a young
fool is better than an old sage. But these are
only the etceteras of life; Sibyl has secured
the grand thing, after all, and more of it
than Car. Life is pretty equal"
Caroline, my dear girl" she said after a
few casual words, Il have come this morning
to consult you on a matter of the greatest i'm
%portance. know your good sense, and the
energy with which you can act when you
have decided what is right to be done. If it
was not for you, Caroline, and your tact and
judgment | should be in despair"
With this insinuating preface she told the
story Of Prendergast's proposal; and after
expanding in the most glowing style in praises
of his person, character and estate, she turned
to the dismal topic Of Sophia's i~nfatuation for
that penniless Australian boy.
"For this whim, this caprice, this idea,
which is not worthy to be called all idea, she
will actually sacrifice a man who Is not only
a man Of family and fortune, but whose char.
acter is of the very pattern she most processes
to admire. Iprotest, Caroline, it will drive
me wild"
at certainly Is unfortunate" Car said.
"And unless you cooperate with me, work
with me, and work hard and wisely, too,
Sophia will lose the best chance in life she
ever can have. | can do nothing without
your assistance, dear"
Il shall do all in my power, mamma" Car
oline replied; "but you must tell me what
you wish"
at was on my tongue, dear girl. You
must have a conversation with Sophia-let it
seem accidental-and say you have heard
about Prendergast. Praise him a little: but
that is not your particular point. Set before
Sophy my delight at the idea of the mar
riage; the happiness it will give me; how
miserable / shall be if it goes off. Sophia is
an aff%ectionate girl, and l believe would do
a very great deal simply to show her love
to me. Now, you must put before her
strongly my feelings and hopes; for, indeed,
dear, if Prendergast does not marry her |
shall die of vexation. Now go over and over
this matter with Sophia. You know, Car,
she is not like you-clesr-hsaded, Of sound
judgment, seeing what is right at a glance,
and firm to carry out her ideas. She Is soft.

her like print and with rising spirits, II am

my daughter is not an ordinary girl. There
must be great care. Every step must be
taken with thought, and with an end in view.
In a word, Mr.. Prendergast, l think you
had better be guided by me from first to last. "
II shall most thankfully" he said; and
then he composed himself to listen to his mont

lin n of the passages Of his narrative, my
old friend, Nhen speaking of "Prendergast,"
uttered the pronoun a." As this escaped his
lips, he tried to catch back his word, and red
dened a little. The secret was out, of course;
but seeing his confusion, l affected not to
have noticed anything. This arti6ce, how
ever, did not deceive him, and he Immediately
told me that he was himself the Prendergast
Of the story, and an old lover of Sophia
Temple. / have thought it well to inform my
reader of this fact; but, for convenience of
narration, / shall continue to describe "Pren-
dergast" as he originally appeared in the tale.
To introduce him afresh, speaking in the first
person singular, would, l find, embarrass
both writer and reader.l
Greatly was Mrs. Barbara Temple disap-
pointed when the day came for leaving Paris,
and still Prendergast had made no further
sign. What could it mean! He was the last
man in the world to play the coquette mas
culine; and it was plain that he had assumed
the Irritation posture toward Sophia in his
sober sort of way. Why advance SO far, and
then stand stilll Mrs. Barbara Temple pom
dered. Then cries she to Herself: II nave hit
itp Her explanation was this: Sophia had
quietly signi6ed to Prendergast, by one of
those tokens with which loves intercourse
abounds, that she loved him not. And he,
retiring, and even difident, had taken the
hint submissively.
"Very provoking Of Sophyp the little
woman said very provoking, indeedl If
1t would do any good l should lose my temper
with her. But it would not do good-not vet.

A Foolish and stubborn Belief

In the efficacy of certain remedies of violent
action, is the besetting foible of the ignorant
and preiudiced. The indiscriminate use OF
purgatives is a very common phase of the
fatuity of ouch people, Aloes, podyphillin,
disguised in sugar coating, castor oil, mercury,
and other old fashioned drugs, still hold their
own among this class. and although the sue
cess Of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters sufficiently
disproves the necessity for ~yioleRce in medi-
cation, the adherents of an exploded fallacy
still persist in giving and taking inordiuate
pmreatiye doses. Dyapepsia. constipation, liver
complaint are us certainly and thoroughly
srkdned by the Bitters, as they are invariably
aggravated by an indiscriminate use OF med1-
class which We have condemned. Fever and
ague. nervousness. rheumatism and inactivity
of the kidneys, yield to the ,Bitters.

F,.om tbis room the outlines of the stair
hall and the stairway are visible or nco, ac-
cording to the arrangement OF the portieres.
g,bere is n side entrance into this hall and
| from il one may go into the kitchen by pass
| ing through two doors. 1t is a good rlnci-
| pie in planning a house to always nave Two
doors between the kitchen and any other
part of the house. One door could as well be
used in this instance, but a second one is
| added to make the isolation more complete.
This prevents the smell of the cooking and
the noises of the kitchen from reaching the
living part of the house. Thus we accom-
plish in a , ny Inexpensive way what is ac-
complished in more pretentious houses in q
very roundabout way by means of long
halls. In the plan here given it may be
noticed that there are cellar stairs passing
under the main stairway in the hall.
The dining room may be entered either
from the front parlor. or from the stair hall.
In each case doors are used. 1t is always
| desirable to nave a dining room SO arranged
| that it may be closed from the other part Of
the house.
There is n CRATE in each of the three princi-
pal roorns, the hall, the parlor and the dining
roo1n, and all communicate with q single
stack. This is much more economical than
having three distinct stacks which are so fire.
quently used for accomplishing the same re-
suit. The only other chimney stack is in the
kitchen. The two answer every purpose.
The outside corners Of the dining room are
cut off at an angle of forty-ive degrees SO
that the end of the dining room presents the
form Of a large bay window. In the middle
space at this end may be placed the sideboard,
in which event a window will be placed over
it; that is, well toward the ceiling. The
dining room communicates with the kitchen
through a large pantry eight feet square,
or through a slide in the. back of the china
closet.
The kitchen is the workshop Of the house,
and like any other workshop could be ar
ranged with reference to saving labor, steps
and time. 1t should be pleasant as well as
convenient. In this kitchen there are broad
windows on the tive sides and a door leading
into the back yard. The windows should be
placed high enough from the floor to admit
of a table being placed under them. Tht
stove or range is placed near one of thes
windows. Its q mistaken notion that thu
Kitchen stove should slwsYs@ be placed IL III

The flue and the wall space adjacent to it ar
much more valuable for other purposes thai
for range space. as it may be used for tn

air passing through it, prevents the pipe
