Faithful Christine.

Christine Olsen was the daughter of a
toy maker in Stockholm, and she was
loved by Hansen, one of her fathers
workmen. She loved Hansen, but her
father would not let the lovers marry,
and so Hansen said he would go to
America and make a big fortune and
then marry Christine. He landed at
Castle Garden with about 5000, and set
about getting work. He did q little at
cigarmaking, but not much, nd almost
before he knew it his money was gone
and he was out of work. This was six
teen months ago. Up to that time he
had written regularly and hopefully to
the girl in Stockholm, and when his let
tiers stopped she was much troubled.
After waiting several months she de-
termined to seek for Hansen. Her father
had died, and after the debts were all
paid Christine had a few hundred dollars
left.
When she reached this city she found
q man who had known Hansen, md who
thought that he had gone to San Fran
cisco. Christine bought a ticket for San
Francisco. At Chicago a confidence man
persuaded her to sell her ticket to San
Francisco and buy one for Omaha. He
said that he knew Hansen we'll, and that
no was in Omaha. The girl did as adj
vised, and then the new friend
robbed her of her money ex-
cepting So. This was all she had
when she reached Omaha eight months
ago. Of course Hansen was rot there.
Christine found a place to work, saved
her wages, and still tried in all ways to
learn of Hansen. Two weeks ago she
heard from him. He was in Kansas
City. She at once set out for that city,
and a few days latter her former mistress
in Omaha received q letter from her say
ing that she and Hansen were married
and very happy.-NsD York Sun.

Fine String OF. PenrlS.

Three strings of pearls recently shown
in this city we're valued at So, 200, So, 200
and $1,000, respectively, without the
pretty diamond clasps which fastened
them. The pearls were graduated, and
OF beautiful color and shape, but as one
must be a poet to love Spcnscr, one must
be accustomed to jewels to appreciate
the refined beauty of pearls, and half the
women who saw the three necklaces and
some rival diamonds which blazcd near
them in another necklace would have
chosen the diamonds if not informed of
their comparative cheapness. The cost
OF this pretty baublc was $3.50, and It
was a pretty band of stones in a light
gold setting, but it had q star pendant,
with a great sapphire in the centre, which
added two-thirds more to the price, and
was q beautiful ornament by itself. The
combinations of diamonds and colorcd
stones are also very fine this season, not
only in the pendants but also il rings.
One of the latter, in which a turquoise
as big as a humming-b egg is sur
ounded by diamond sparks, is pretty
enough to figure in one Of Mrs. Spofford's
stories. -Boston Transcript.
Why E~nRlishmen Seek American Wives.
The popular taste over on the other
side OF the water appears to be growing
more n more warm toward America
and Americans. The wealthy and titled
men of the Old World arc seeking with
increased earncstness American brides.
and is to suppose that all
they are after is tho parental Doodle.
There Is a charm about American girls
that the English do not have. The wo-
men OF Great Britain ore brought up
from their earliest infancy to maintain a
submissive and meek regard for the other
sex. They are taught that the only
thing in life for them is to marry COM
fortably and go into q sort of serfdom
for the rest of their lives. No American
girl goes into matrimony with any such
idea. She is bound to get the upper
hand If she can, and she has n sweet and
brisk independence about her that is most
attractive to men who have met with
nothing but the other sort of thing. SO
it is that American girls, who at first
shocked foreign society, are in great de-
mand in Europe nowadays as ornaments
to saloons and drawing-rooms and rs

Smelling Beans.

3 This is sport when nights are cold,
When a cloud the moonlight screens,
And the wind is loud and bold.
Gathered close around the fire,
Prettiest Of household scenes,
Sit the farmers family,
Smelling beans, Smelling beans!
Great big ''squaw beans" white and pink,
Small "papo0ses" red and round
"Crowdies" pearl and crimson mixed,
In their pod tho closest found.
"Cranberries' half q dozen shades,
''Californias" from the coast,
Flatrshaped "Limas" purple, white,
"Indian Chiefs" a dark bright host.
*'Wild goose" dotted with black specks
Like the eggs the grass birds lay,
Red-striped "Scipios," ''Rowleys" fat,
And ''Imperials," violet gray.
Little pea beans" creamy white,
Spotted ''bush beans passing count,
From the pods they rattle out,
Higher in the pans they mount.
He, who toiled to raise them all,
Underneath the summer sun,
Thinks how many he can sell
Now the labor is all done.
While his wife in visions sees
Steaming, well-tilled platters rise,
Brown baked beans for winter days,
Indian bread and pumpkin pies.
But the little boys and girls
Handfuls oil tho table lay,
And by shape and size and hue
Let their fancies with them play.
Pretty flower beds they devise,
Fence and pathway, house and field,
Such great pleasure to their hearts
Just a few bright beans can yield.

And the wind is loud md bold.
