competent to undertake the charge without
your assistance"
She could not have chosen her words bet
ter, and Mrs. Montford's face lighted up
gratefully. II will confess, ma'am, that
did feel it, she said, frankly; 'any one
would with a heart, Mrs. Falconer, after
| having the care OF the sweet child from her
birth, but l feel relieved and gratifed to
find that you are likely to be wise and
kind motherto M darling"

earnestly; she seems a remarkably sweet
little girl, and does credit to your training"
"Tm obliged to you for your good opin-
ion, Mrs. Falconer," replied the good
woman, with gratitude; "she's the very
copy of her dear mother, ma'am; to be sure
she has her little pets and naughties, the
same as any child; but love, ma'am, will
conquer her where punishment would break
her little heart. Her pa was so broken
down by his sorrow that he didn't seem to
remember much that he had a little child,
until of late, aud the little creature has
pinned for love amazingly"
"Let US hope that we can bring her up to
a happy, as well as a useful, maturity"
said Isabel; certainly if love can accom-
plish it, there need be no failure"
The room which Isabel had chosen for her
experiment was one having a spacious bay
window, looking out upon the lawn, with
its cool fountain and lovely figure of Niobe

ing the greater part Of his earnings in
drink" and her eyes flashed angrlly.
"You did quite right" said Mr. Falconer,
decidedly; ''there are some classes of poor
whom it is positive injury to help"
The answer to Mr.. Falconer's letter came
in due time; it was characteristic of Mrs.
Stanford, bewailing his hasty marriage in
one breath, and congratulating him in an
other, an6 he smiled as he read aloud: 81

relief. Il believe shall find my first i'm

HISTORICAL WIRE.
A Short Piece Which Is Worth More
Than Its Weight I'm Gold.

\ A Short Piece Which Is Worth More
Than Its Weight I'm Gold.
A bit of wire was introduced into our
conversation at the club. 1t was a
silent, communicative bit of copper,
about a sixteenth of an inch thick and
four inches long. Most any hardware
merchant would give you a similar bit
of wire, because its value would be so
little he could not reckon price for it.
But this particular piece Mr.. Vail
| (whOse father co-Operated with Morse
in inventing the telegraph) carries in
his pocket-bOOk as carefully as if it
were gold many times more weighty.
1t is passive, plant substance-an in
animate bit of copper-but it gave the
first electric thrill that has brought the
inhabitants of the world closer to-
gether, conquered time and annihilated
distance. 1t is bit of the first three
miles of wire ever used for telegraphy.
1t is a piece from the experimental
line constructed by Morse and Vail,
ST., when they were testing their in
ventious. Only little of the wire,
Mr.. Vail. Jr., informed me, has been
preserved. After it was taken down
from the experimental line his father
used part of it as trellis for vines on
his front porch. Part of it may have
been used in the construction of the
line between the capital and Baltimore,
but If so it was lost track of. 1t was
from the trellis that the mementoes
were recovered. Il think l got less
than six feet of it." said Mr.. Vail.
AFTER telegraphy became wonder of
the world we began to appreciate the
value of such mementO. and we saved
what we could of the original three
mile wire. have given pieces to a
few persons who have been especially
interested in it, and some was arranged
on a card, with photograph Of the
original instrument, now at the Ma
tional Museum, that was sent to the

The Origin of "CaIico."

The word calico has queer ORR
gin. Many centuries ago the first
monarch of the Province of Malabar
gave to one of his chiefs, as a reward
for distinguished services, his sword
and all the land within the limit of
which cock Growing at certain tenn
pie could be heard. from this circum-
stance the little town which grew up
in the center of this territory was
called Calicoka, or the cock growing.
Afterwards it was called Calicut, and
from this place the first cotton goods
were imported into England. bearing
the name of calico.-St. Louis Globe
