IN he'd. thnn three mnnths from the dnr

In less than three months from the doy
that first discovered Eva, Miss Adele
found herself with more work upon her
hands than she could easily attend to,
and found myseif-but no, will tell
you about that later. for now comes the
most remarkable part of this narrative
(ahd there Is nothing 80 very remarkable
in the story Of free man who IS often
thrown into the society Of a good and
beautiful woman falling in love with
herr and that which emphasizes the TACT
that truth is stranger than fiction.
One day there drew up before my
sisters door the well-known eluipage of
one OF the city's most successful bankers.
and from 1t alighted a gentleman who
eagerly requested to see Miss Adele.
The result of that visit was nothing short
Of the restoration oflittle Eva to her par
ents and home, for she was proven
to be the longlost and sadly mourned
daughter of the banker, stolen by a
former servant, the only object that
could be disco, cred to extort money for
her return. In order probably to render
the scheme successful the child had been
taken far away, where it wou d be diff
cult to trace her. The mysterious death
Of the woman had interierred with the
Original plan and left no clue by which
the agonized parents could posi- lly dis
cover their child, and long since she had
been given mp for dead.
In the course of its progress from per-
son to person, the story of the young
music teacher and her little charge had
reached the banker and his wife, who
fastened to convince themselves that
Eva was their long-lost darling; the
diamond crescent which had been stolen
for that very purpose no doubt furnish
ing evidence, if mere had been needed
than the chiid's great resemblance to
her mother
1t is needless to say that the grateful
parents insisted upon adopting Adele
into their hearts and homes as a daugh-
ter no less than their legitimate off>pring
and for me they declared eternal friend
ship.
With this l should have been quite
satisfied under ordinary circumstances
but
Nonsense" roguishly says Adele
who is looking over my shoulder as
write. ''what commonplace ending
you will have there, love and marriage,
and all that sort of thing"
'But will it not be true to the lfeg
/ demand. And beautiful light warns
up her dear face. END the story as
you please, Tom" she says.-Ne,c Yorl

A Youthral weather Prophet.

The six-year-od son of Kentucky
man is acquiring notoriety as a weather
prophet. The child is small for his age,
and cannot yet talk plainly, but has de-
veloped barometrical powers to a won
derful degree. Since he was four years
old his parents, who are respectable and
reliable people, declare that he has fore
told every rain, hail storm or snow storm
and even the light showers and Sprinkles
so plentiful in the spring of the year
One day recently while the sun was blaz-
ing down with intense heat, the child
came into the house from the yard, where
he had been intently gazing at the
heavens, aud predicted heavy rain
storm, to be followed by aproiuse fall OF
nail In the afternoon his prophecy was
verified by a heavy storm. - Chieago

Jim Fisk's Dodge.

Years ago when the New York Central
and Erie railroads were engaged in a
desperate and destructive battle of cut
rates, jim Fisk played a shrewd dodge
on Commodore Vanderbilt. The freight
rates from Chicago to New York city
were so low that there was no profit in
transportation. Fisk seized the golden
opportunity to buy catte; shipped the
cattle o er the Commodore's road, and
so blocked the COmmodore's transpoIta-
tion facilities that the Central was
obliged TO ref Sc all other freight Fisk
then put up the priece of freight on the
Erie, and was not only able to do a lu-
crative business while the Central was
carrying cows at loss, but he was also
able to get his cows TO the narket via
the CommOdore's line, at such low terms
that he made profit on every head

Cleaning Lamps.

Every now and then the lamp needs d
thorough cleansing. The oil should be
carefully emptied away so as not 70 leave
any dregs in the bottom. This can be
put into bottle and be kept for clean
ing. When the lamp has been well
washed, the other oil can be poured back
again, and added to till the reservoir is
almost full. Before putting on the brass
part that holds the globe and chimney,
this too must be thoroughly cleaned. The
network that crosses 1t must be freed
from all impurities, aud all pieces of char
coal wick turned out from the edge. 1t
will then be found that the lamp will
burn clearly, giving out a bright white
light.

THE BLOOM OF LONG 400.
bow oft along the vanished past.

How oft along the vanished past,
Still with the lines of youth aglow,
Spring up the fow'rs that faded fast
The scented bloom Of long agol
Where is the heart that would forget
The smile, the look, the warm embracei
Amid the years we treasure yet
The contour Of the fitted face.
Deep in the labyrinth OF time.
Mischievous shinc black eyes and blue:
And fairy fingers beat rhyme
On Cupid's bow for me and You
| end a letter hidden long
From summers sun and winters snow,
And TO II clings a cherished song
That keeps the tune Of long ago.
We never quite forget the joys
Recorded on iife's primal page;
The laughter gay Of girls and boys
Falls sweetly on the ears of age.
Across path still bright and fair,
A child is swinging to and fro;
And memory twines in golden hair,
The lovely bloom OF long ago.
80 aAo'ao oVutht bl US go-uhy
In other years was grandly sung;
The face that fiits across the way
We often kissed when we were young
IL Is the hand we cannot see
That leads us, when the sun is low,
Back 70 the memory haunted lea
Rich with the bloom of long ago.
Confess to me, for IL Is true,
Icare not what your station be,
That somewhere there's spell for YOU
A spell of love and fantasy.
Who has not felt vanished hand
Touch his at twilight's gentle glow,
Or seen emerge from shadowland
A sweetheart of the long agof
Black eyes nd bluel OF what a spell
They weave for all who own their swa,
And where is he whose song can tell
One-half the cunning they dsplayl
They are the miIestones OF the road
We tread TO where the waters flow
Between ms and the veiled abode
Beyond the loves of long ago.

Ironine.

Few of the household duties are as
exhaustive and worrisome to the house
wife as the family ironing. Coming, as
it generally does, Immediately after the
fatigue of washing, it appears to be
double as hard work as the former.
Many women wash and iron the same
day, which is very unwise thing for
them to do, unless their washing is very
small, indeed. In cold weather, more
particularly, clothes need to lie out in
the air long time ere they are ready to
be brought into the house, and very sci
dom are any of the heavy clothes, such
as flannels, re dy for ironing the same
day. Very often hne, small articles,
such as napkins, handkerchiefs, towels,
ETC., are sufficiently dry to iron the sane
day, owing to these ironing better when
slightly damp than when perfectly dry.
Dish towels are very hard to press smoo h
if allowed to get thoroughly dry before
taking in, and will have to be dampened
great deal before the creases can be
made smooth. 1t is hest, therefore, if it
can be conveniently done, to bring in
from the line such SIN IL pieces as iron
best when damp. No large piece should
ever be taken in until perfe tly dry, un-
less it Is the table cloth, which will look
much better if pressed while slightly
damp. These articles should be ironed
as dry as possible, and be thoroughly
aired before being put away. To air
ma kins, handkerchiefs. etc, they should
be hung on the horse the length of the
70 d, and not. as very often done, thrown
simply over the bar just in the fold in
which they are placed away. They W Il
not air or dry properly if hung in this
way, and if put away from an airing of
this kind, VIII muss so easily that in a
short while they will have no appear
ance whatever of having been ironed

Manufacturing a Poem.

1t is usual at Cambridge University TO
annually give a handsome sum for the
best poem. Some years ago a waggi h
undergraduate, for a mere Jest, made a
poem by piecing together fragments Of
all those which had for many years been
the winners. He expected that the COM
miitee would laugh at it and throw it
aside What was his horror at learning
that he had been adiudged the pri e,
and that his name had been published all
over EnglOnd as that Of the victor.
