No, I'll send the letter and end it.
Mrs. Hunter began 10 cry. She was
satisfied that Thursby was no longer
poor, and she knew that In every other
respect he was man to be admired.

The door-bell rang at this juncture

with glad welcome on her lips, but
Bernice only said, "You'ye missed your
Thanksgiving dinner, Mr.. Thursbyp
Il do so desire to congratulate you on
your good fortune, j" cried Mrs. Hunter,
holding out both hands in an exceedingly
cordial manner.
Will Thursby took one proffered palm
with curious smile, but said nothing.
@Why don't you congratulate him,
Bernice?" asked the mother in half
angry tone.

THANKSGIVING TIME.

We think Of Thanksgiving at seeding time: -
In the swelling, unfolding, budding time
When the heart Of nature and the hearts or fner
Rejoice in the earth grown young again.
We dream of the harvest, field and vine
And granaries fun aS Thanksgiving Time
We think OF Thanksgiving in growing time
In the time of flowers, and the vintage prime
When the palms Of the years strong hands arr
filled
With frlitage, with grain and with sweets dis
titled.
When the dream of hope is true sublime.
Then our hearts make room for the thankful
time.
We think OF Thanksgiving in harvest time:--
In the yielding, gathering, golden time;
And the sky is fringed with a hazy mist
And the blushing NAPLES by frost-lips kissed
When the barns are full with the harvest cheer
And the crowning, thankful day dl avs near.
We think of Thanksgiving at resting time
The circle completed is but chime
In the song of life, in the lives of men!
We harvest the toll of our years, and then
we wait at the gate OF the Kings highway,
For the dawn OF our souls Thanksgiving day

5000" cried Mrs. Hunter, clasp
ing her hands in an ecstasy of delight,
"and he is most desirable companion,
too
"Your daughters have all done well,
Mrs. Hunter" pursued her friend, sand
it is SO very lucky for them, and you,
too.
"My daughters know better than to do
any other way" replied the blue-blooded
mother, proudly. "Bernice, too, is a
very sensible girl, and I've always felt
easy about her choice of company"
After an hour Mrs. Amsden took her
leave, and Mrs. Hunter. tiptoeing to the
stairway, called softly: "Bernice, Ber-
NIGEL"
@Yes'm." And shortly the dutiful
daughter came down, writing materials
in hand, and with one dainty finger
blackened with ink.

keeper, mamma" she said, in answer to
her mothers look of inquiry. "I've con-
cluded to drop Will Thursby and not
waste my time any longer ON money
less man; don't you think am growing
sensible?o
A flush of shame, that her objections
to the young man would soon be laid
bare, came over Mrs. Hunters face; but
she said brayely enough: .Don't you love
him bit, dear?n
"What's love--insipid thing-what's
love to money!" retorted Bernice iron
ically.
4But-but VIII Thursby is wealthy

told you anything, as yet? / should
have thought he would; Mrs. Amsden

aImpossible!n replied Bernice, warmly.
sIf he had money he would have told me,
would he not? Mrs. Amsden, fudge.
aBut Iwould't send the letter, dear, y
advised the mother, afor it certainly is
true that he is wealthy. Mr.. Amsden is
his agent here to look after his real es-
tate in this vicinity"
Bernice paused. She seemed to be
thinking deeply as she twirled the letter
around on her finger. ooh, well, she
said lightly, suppose he is now man

A Fighting Preacher.

Rev. Mr.. BARLEY, chaplain of Mon
treats crack military corps and pastor
of q swell West End congregation,
gave scientific thrashing to one of
Montreal's best known and richest
young sports few days ago. The
story that led to the result is tod as
follows in the New York Star:
Some few weeks ago the youth in
question was er gagged to we'd one of
the fairest daughters of Montreal.
The lady in question happened to be a
member of arson Bartley's church,
and also particular friend of the min
lister. In consequence, he was called
upon to perform the marriage cere-
mony, and on the day appointed was
on hand at the residence of the intend
ed bride, as was q so large party of
friends to assist at the wedding. To
the const ernat!on of the friends the
groom failed to put in an appearance.
The wedding was declared off. The
clergyman, it is said, expressed him
self in no indistinct way about what he
called the rascally conduct of the
gilded youth in question.
A few evenings ago the clergyman
was invited to visit the young man,
and, thinking he was to get an explana-
ton of his strange conduct. he made
the visit. He just entered the door
when his first salute was a singing
left handler in the face. It was then
that he Invested himself of his gar
ments, and the youth was taught
q richly deserved lessol in the manly
art. So. badly was he done up by the
reverend pugilist that he spent week
in private hospital to recuperate from
the effects of the thrashing. AS the
brother and father of his atfianced had
promised similar proceeding, he, to
escape further beating, married the
girl, and Mr., Barley performed the
faction of all. The affair has only just
leaked out, and has created sensa.

Nearly Everybody

Is troubled more or less with catarrh In the
mead. 1t originates in cold or succession
of colds, combined with impure blood. Dis
agreeable flow from the nose, tickling in the
throat, offensive breath, pain over and be-
tween the eyes, ringing and bursting noises
In the ears, are the more common symptoms.
Catarrh is cured by Hoods SarsaparilIa,
which strikes directly at it's cause by re-
moving all impurities from the blood, build
ing up the diseased tissues and giving
healthy tone TO the whole system.

A Mammoth storage Building.

Chicago is to have the largest cold stor-
age warehouse in the country. The new
building will have river frontage of $50
feet and west front of $50 feet upon a %
foot street. The width of the building
will be 240 feet. Running north and
south through the great building will be
an arcade IS feet wide, which in reality
will be West Water street. Through this
railroad tracks will be run. There will
also be given ample space for the safe pas
sage of vehicles and pedestrians. The
structure will be built of stone, brick,
iron and terra Gotta and the arcade will
be covered with glass. The plans are for
building ten stories high, to be lighted
throughout by electricity. Cold and gen.
eral storage warerooms OF all kinds and
degrees of temperature will be furnished.
A ninety-nine year lease has been secured
upon the ground, the annual rental being
S42, $50. The cost of the building is esti-
mated at 81, 10000; the total value of the
plant, Sl,700,000. The prospectus of the
company states that capital stock TO the
amount of 100000 will be issued, di-
vided into 100000 founders preferred
shares and S2,500,000 common. This is
decidedly the most extensive undertaking
of the kind ever attempted in the United
States and its success or failure will be
regarded with great interest.

Novel Method of LAYING a Floor,

The Nctiondl Builder says that curious
method of laying down floors has been
adopted in France and has obtained a
wide application. 1t consists in putting
down flooring, not as hitherto on sleepers,
but in embodying the boarding in asphalt
The new floors are used mostly for
ground stories of barracks and hospitals
as well at for churches and courts of law.
Very little is known of the method outside
of France, and as its usefulness is evident.
it should have wider application; there
fore we append the following description /:
For the floors in question, pieces Of oak,
usually two and one-half to four inches
broad, twelve to thirty inches long, and
one inch thick, are pressed down into a
layer of hot asphalt, not quite half an
inch thick, in the well-known herring
bone pattern.
To insure a complete adhesion of the
wood to the asphalt and obtain the small
est joints, the edges of the pieces of wood
are planed down, beveling toward the bot
tom, so that their cross-section becomes
wedge-like. Nails, of course, are not nee
essary, and a perfect level surface may be
given to the flooring by planning after lay
ing down. The advantages of this floor
ing, which only requires an even bed on
which to rest, are said to be the following
!. Dampness from below, and its eonse-
quences, rot, is hereby prevented.
2. Floors may be cleaned quickly and
with the least amount of water, insuring
rapid drying.
3. Vermin cannot accumulate in the
joints.
4. Unhealthful exhalations from the soil
cannot penetrate into living rooms. As
phalt being impermeable to damp, rooms
become perfectly healthful, even if they
are not vaulted underneath.
la building with several stories, as in
hospitals, the vitiated air of the lower
rooms cannot ascend, an object which it
has hitherto not been possible to attain by
any other means known.
5. The layer of asphalt will also pre-
vent the spreading of fire from one floor to
another in case of conhagration.
The flooring here described has been
laid in the numerous easements Of the forts
around Metz, to the satisfaction of the au-
thorities. The cost is about twenty-five
cents per square foot. This estimate,
somewhat high, would be much lower in
districts where oak and labor are cheaper,
and the distance from places OF construc-
ton less.
