Thursday morning to blow open
the safe in the Office of ID. A. Ly-

drilled in the safe and the explo-

HIS AUDACITY WON HER.

Anewly-sppointed official, but recently
come to Washington, RECALLED some friends,
who, in a back room at Chamberlain's,
were discussing a crab supper, with the
following story of his first test of Wash
ington hospitality. When at the capital
last winter looking after some business
before one of the departments, the wife
of a member from his State took him to
a local fair, given for the benefit Of some
hospital, where he was fortunate enough
to meet a most charming brace of sisters.
residents in the suburbs, who, with true
Southern hospitality invited him t call.
1t was impossible for him to go to see
them during this visit, but he made it his
first pleasure after returning to the city,
and found the two sisters so attractive
that he prolonged his call much later even
than etiquette allows a country visit to
be. Just as he became conscious of this
fact, and was thinking of making a grace
full retreat, the mother of the young
ladies appeared upon the scene and was
introduced to the visitor, whom she sar-
castically asked to stay to breakfast, OBJ
serving that it would not be long before
that meal was served-after delivering
which thunderbolt she said good
night, and disappeared througe a door
which disclosed q bedroom beyond.
The new appointee, who was not a
little annoyed at his own delinquency,
was furious at the rebuke he had received,
and for a moment was at a loss how to
act. When he caught sight, however, of
the bed through the half opened door his
decision was made. Quickly bidding the
young women good night, he told them
he had decided to accept their mothers
cordial invitation to breakfast, and that
he hoped that they would see that he
was called in time for the morning meal.
With this he took possession of the I'M
occupied bedroom, and was soon dream
ing of the blue eyes that had been looking
into his during the evening.
1t was early when a little tap was
heard on the door and a sweet voice said:
cit is time to get up, MI. -, break
fast is nearly ready"
The mother had not been i formed of
of the acceptance of her invitation, so
that there was a surprise at the breakfast
table when Mr.. = sauntered in, but his
audacity Vol the Cd lady's heart, and
now this official is one of the most favored
callers at the - homestead.-New York

PUTTING Kings IN RIGHT
PLACES.

It is a well-known fact that everything
finds at last its own particular nook OF
corner. We are prone when we receive
a gift OF a vase, bowl, or piece of silver
or glass, to put it in some spot where it
will be seen at once by our friends, and
above all, by the giver himself. This is
only a natural desire to please the one
who has been s thoughtful as to remem-
Der us, but it sometimes is carried so far
as to be absolutely ludicrous.
We knew of one lady who had through
her goodness and generosity attracted
many friends, all of whom were anxious
to return her many kindnesSes in the
form of some gift. OF course the presents
were extremely varied, many of them be-
ing for use rather than ornament. The
result was that her psrlor nantel aud
tables presented q most ~laughable, yet
lamentable confusion. For instance, an
article whose sole purpose was utility
upon the dining table, would be found
h~ob-nobbing with an inkstand Of the
latest design, while these would be hanked
by The photograph of a friend on one side,
and a cut-glass perfumery bottle on the
other.
Of course this is an extreme case, for
usually, after a new object has been dis
played for a short time, it is removed to
give place to another, and finally, some
times after weeks and ever months, finds
the place, which, when it is put there,
seems the only place in the house which
it could occupy with propriety. 1t is
this putting the right thing in the right
place" which gives a house its individu-

The latter said that he needed no such
illustration to believe her statement.
"Weu then, do you want to see how

me those irons and that dumb-bell again.
Taking one-half of her hair, she knotted
it about the dumb-bell, to which the four
irons were attached. Then she straight
ened her head and body up and began
~prancing about the table in the centre OF
the room.
"This amt anything" she said. IF

Then to work off her excitement she
picked up the ffty-pound dumb-bell, and
tossing it up in the air within a few inches
of the ceiling caught it dexterously in one
hand as it descended toward the floor.
off you think I can't wrestle, take off
your coat and vest and give me a show
at you" The reporter declined on the
ground that he was not in training and
then Lily said to her mother: $50 down
stairs and if you see any of the boys on
the corner tell them to come up here, that
I want to have a wrestle."
Mrs. Tobin returned in a minute saying
that the boys were not in q wrestling
humor.
Lily only developed her Sampson-like
abilities six months ago. She went to a
Eowery museum, and after watching the
iron-fngered man catch big c~annon-balls
and toss mammoth iron dumb-bells in the
air, she made his acquaintance after the
performance and astonished him by hand
ling his heaviest weights with astounding
ease.
Since then she has done nothing but
chew broom handles, play ball with the
different members of her family and exer-
else her great strength in every possible
way.
Lily was born in Paterson, New Jer-
sey.-M =. Morning Journal

BoTANIzING MADE INTEREST
ING.

Miss I. Carver expressed the wish that
some one would give his or her botanical
methods. Gray's Chow Plants Grow"
the standard book for beginners in botany,
is SO plain, so explicit, that if she learns
the parts of flowers and the explanation
that precedes the analysis, I don't think
she will experience any further difficulty.
Almost every n loses heart in the be-
ginning of a new study, especially if
studying alone, and gives up unless en-
dowed with a large share of stick-to it
ness. Don't give up. Think of what
you will leacn. Botany is a grand study;
it helps you to lift the veil, showing Ma
lures God and revealing more of the
infinite wisdom of the Divine mind than
any other natural history study. The
various methods / received in answer to
my questions in Farm and Home were so
practical that they are worthy OF a far
wider circulation, so | send them, hoping
they may assist Miss G. and any others
laboring in darkness. Have a water-tight
box, wood or tin, to carry specimens in
when on a botanical trip; a cigar box
would answer. Wet the specimens to
keep them moist. Fssten a strap or cord
to the box and it can be carried over the
shoulder. A lady might prefer a shawl
strap. For pressing and drying use old
newspapers, sheets of thick blotting paper
or thick carpet paper. Put a specimen
between two sheets, then another speci-
men between other sheets, and so on I'M
til all the specimens are placed. Then
pile them n on top of the other, and
place on them sufficient weight to dry in
a few days. Let them remain until you
have time to mount them. One writer
pressed and dried her specimens in large
books. Place each specimen on a sheet
of botanical paper. Some mount each
specimen on q species sheet, then have 8
genus cover and on the cover wSite the
Latin and common name and a brief &C
count of finding, etc. Fasten specimens
with slips of paper, gum arabic or sew
them. To prevent insects, use insect
powder or corrosive sublimate. If you
want flowers to retain their natural colors,
place them between sheets of wadding to
press. Leave them until perfectly dry.
It takes much longer to dry. Try var
nishing to preserve their colors. Hegler,
the scientist, recommends this: AS the
plants lie in the press, dust them with
salicylic acid. When dry remove the
powder with a suitable brush.-J II
