Timothy Duggan was a stevedore, per-
haps feet inches in height and propor-I
tionately broad. He appeared as a BRIDE
groom; the bride was a charming young
person of tender years. ALI went we'll until
the moment came ior Timothy and his
bride to give their troth to each other in the
prescribed manner. "Say after me-" said
to Timothy, "T, Timothy" There was
no response. ''Say after me, repeated the
parson, "I Timothy" Timothy was
still silent, puzzled look creeping over his
board face. "Say after me-" said 1 for the
third time, with, perhaps a shade of annoy
ance. AFTER you, sir, responded Timothy,
with the politest possible duck of his bull
let head.

brought very charming bride to church,
and perhaps regarded her as a thing Of
beauty to be in his home a Joy forever,
rendering ito have and to hold" as ''to
have and behold" Another, who possibly
had some cause to dread the fate of Mr..
Caudle, struck out an entirely new version,
and faithfully promised ''to have and be
told" '"To love and to cherish is another
stumbling block. ''To love and be cherries
was the nearest to the original of many varia-
tions popular among the males Of that
parish. The brides were happy with the
familiar rendering, "to love cherries and to

many. "Holy orders" was convenient, and
perhaps conveyed the most meaning.
''Plight thee my troth" and ''give thee my
troth" were, 1 imagine, words of foreign
sound, and 1 well remember one young
person, who was wedding most villainous-
looking fellow, changing her sentiment into

The Trouble Our Forefathers Had to Go
Through to Make Fire.

The Trouble Our Forefathers Had to Go
Through to Make Fire.
New York Graphic.l
In the days before the invention of fric.
tion matches the difficulty of procuring fire
was SO great that all pains were taken to
prevent the fire on the hearth from going ont.
All winter long it was kept by covering the
coal and brands with ashes at night This
was one of the domestic cares of our fore.
fathers, and Homer alludes to the practice
as common in his day 5000 years ago.
But fire could not be kept with comfort
in the summer, and there would be times
in the winter when the hearth would be-
come cold. Then some Goals must be brought
from a neighbours. or new fire must be
kindled in the house.
This latter process was usually accom-
plished by means of flint and steel. Most
readers have no doubt seen spark of fire
struck out from q horses shoe hitting a
stone in the road, or from the shoe of a
sleigh-runner grinding over rocks.
To obtain fire by this method piece of
steel, such as file or rasp, was struck with
flint or bit of white quartz from
granite ledge, and the spark was caught in
tinder-charred cotton rags. The old-fint
lock musket, with few grains of powder
and some tinder in the pan, was looked upon
by our grandmothers as a domestic utensil.
Sometimes, on clear day, burning glass
"a lens for collecting at one point the rays
of the sun-was used.
The method of producing fire by rubbing
together two dry sticks is known to most
boys, but it has not been often adopted by
civilized people, it belongs to the ruder con-
ditions of life
In Thibet Captain William Gill found
practiced a more scientific method than
any of these. The natives strike light by
compressed air. The apparatus used con-
sists OF wooden cylinder, two and half
inches long by three-quarters of an inch in
diameter.
This is closed at one end, the base being
about the size of quill pen; an alright
piston fits into this with large, flat knob
at the top. The other end of the piston is
slightly followed out and very small
piece Of timber is placed in the cup thus
formed.
To use this the cylinder is held in one
hand, the piston. inserted ann pushed about
half way down. A very sharp blow is then
given with the palm of the hand on the top
of the knob. The hand must at the same
time close on tie knob and instantly with
draw the piston, when the tinder will be
found alight. 1t requires skill to use the
apparatus as well as science to invent it.

CHATTER VI.
A MOTHER AND A DAUGHTER.


A week later, of morning, May Morris
sat in the parlor of the Dallas house. The
room was moderately outftted with chairs,
settees and tables of willow; the floor was
covered with Chinese mating; the walls
had no pictures, but were decorated little
by means of grasses; and. to atoneefor the
lack of sumptuousness, the summer char
acter of the apartments contents made it
look cooler than any truthful thermometer
would have corroborated. The appearance
of delightful temperature, no matter how
the mercury might have refuted it, was
heightened by the girl, whose hair was
brushed loosely back from an unfushed
face, and whose loose white robe gave no ex-
preston of warmth. Sunshine blazed hotly
on the exterior of the building, but the
light that fell upon her was not caloric
The lower sash had been obscured temporar-
lily, in order to let the light fall illumingly,
not on the artless figure, but on the bit of
art at which she was working. 1t was not
an employment that would bear close
criticism. The emplove oniv was perfectly
admirable. Her lap was her easel, toy
box of water paints served for a palette as
well, and other signs of makeshift showed
that the undertaking was transitory. Sev-
eral sprays of fern were pinned to the back
them in colors on a cardboard.
Don't dare tell me it is bad work. she
said to the Widow Gansett, who stood by.
"Tm away from school and can sauce nv
tutor. But do you think Mrs. Dallas will
like it?''
''It doesn't need any Judgment to answer
that, was the reply. "She likes everything
you do"
'I wonder why?" and the brush was
stayed. ''She puzzles me. Whenever she
speaks to me, or so much as looks at me- she
is gentle, amiable, loveable; and she leaves
nothing undone to make my visit pleasant,

brought me here. But there is at time. a
coarseness in her that shocks me. That is
when she doesn't know, or has for an instant
forgotten, that 1 am present. Her tender
ness to me seems spontaneous, and yet it
comes from a nature which, / fear, is hard
and rough" The chin was lifted from the
hand into which it had meditatively settled,
as she raised an inquiring face to the widow
before resuming with the brush. ''She per-
plexes me-"
Ten minutes afterward, il was Sheeba
Dallas who stood behind MAY unperceived,
and gazed fondly upon her, before disclos-
ing herself with a soft kiss on the brown
hair of the girl, who started with slight
exclamation.

Barbarous Surgery.
New York Graphic

Do you know what close shave means?
I never did until looked at face the
other day through microscope which had
been treated to this luxurious process.
Why, the entire skin resembles a piece of
raw beef To make the face perfectly
smooth requires not only the removal of the
hair, but also portion of the cuticle and a
close shave means the removal of layer of
skin all around. The blood vessels thus
exposed are not visible to the eve, but under
the microscope each little quivering mouth
holding minute blood drop protests against
such cruel treatment. The nerve tips are
also uncovered and the pores are left un-
protected, which makes the skin tender and
unhealthy. This sudden exposure of the
inner layer of skin renders person liable
to have colds, hoarseness and sore throat.

Finally She Got the EGG.

The ways of the hen are as inscrutabIe as
those of the woman. In a Mexican mining
town the superintendent noticed the wife of
the owner making repeated visits to the hen
house, after each visit her face wearing q
deeper look of despair and anger.
whats the matter, Mrs. Clumber?" he
finally asked, when he saw that she looked
almost desperate.
4" Matter?" she cried. IT promised the
Major an omelette for supper, and I've got
all the eggs I need but one, and that mean
old hen is sitting there and won't lay it,
I daren't touch her, and she knows it, and
is just taking her time about it, too. I'm
SO indignant at her, mean old thing"
But the egg was laid in time.
