 Her own face was hard and set, her cheeks pale. her eyebrows drawn to- gether. her eyes cruel, and their blue seezned turned to green. She looked no longer like a quaint, merry little witch, but Ike female imp Of satan bent on cruel mischief.
 She was ready for anything. as the old woman plainly saw. anything, and a strange fellow feeling possessed the soul of the latter. She liked Maisie, with the ardent liking that old black women often feel for young white girls. She really wanted to help her, even while she i'm tended to be well paid for doing so, for the money she demanded would enable her to leave 8 place too hot to hold her much longer. Fortune telling was by no means her worst offence against so- ciety. and she was i'll danger of arrest. Moreover she was in debt. She needed the money as she had never needed it be- fore, but she honestly intended to show Maisie how to harm her rival, and for this unknown Eugenie she had no more mercy or pity than she would for a ven emous snake on whose neck she was about to set her heel.
 In her youth she, too, had suffered the pangs of jealousy. and she had had her revenge. The memory still filled her soul with savage joy, old as she was, toothless. wrinkled. racked with aches and pains. She would still at times rub her black hands together, chuckling, shaking her head and whispering. per haps to Solomon, the toad. "Hi. den, she didn' get dc best of # after all, dat dar yaller gal"

tented class Of manual laborers to be found
in the world. Among good many florists
and gardeners whom L have known / can
not remember a single dissatisfied or pessi-
mistic one. They are always a little pa
thctic 10 look at, because constant STOPPING
| makes round shoulders one Of the marks
OF the trade, and their general effect OF I'M
prospcroasncss is heightened by their pre-
vailing indifference to personal neatness.
Indeed, their fondness for the soil is al
most always so great that they are not at
all troubled when an astonishing amount
Of it adheres to them, and merely to say
that a gardener il a better fellow than he
looks expresses very feebly the virtues of
the calling
And The interest these men show in their
work. My gardeners have an almost ma
ternal fondness for their plants. "Would
you like to see my houseful of sick rosesY
one asked me once.
cor course l should, replied, expect
ing to see some depressing spectacle of
languishing vegetation. Instead | was
shown roomful of sturdy bushes of all
ages, but alike in the lustiness of their
growth.
"You see, in every lot which comes from
the nursery there are some which haven't
stood the journey, and which would never
do to sell, r." said my florist friend. "Their
value is not much, but canDot bear to
throw them away, and a little extra care
makes them what you see here"
isn't the time worth more than the
young plants"
cor course it is. But / enjoy giving the
weak ones n bit Of petting."
| have often noticed that generosity is al
mosta trade characteristic oflorists. Itdoes
not take the form of making their wares
unnaturally cheap, but they are more will
ing than other merchants to give a little
more than they have to. With most of the
craft a dozen means fifteen, and l have
rarely found one who would not ask a Gus
toner 6take an extra rose for bouton-
Mere They seem to feel that flowers were
created to be given and not sold, and offer
this little implied apology for the sordid
necessity which makes them barter their
lovely merchandise.
Nothing pleases them better than Gus
toner who is himself an enthusiast, and it
would be hard to convince them of the
baseness of a real flower lover. l went
once to the florist who had lately stocked
my little garden with a complaint that the
plants had all been stolen.
"Stole your plants, did they" repeated
he, with q quaint Scotch accent. Then,
thinking that the catastrophe appealed to
me in a moral rather than commercial
light; "But they Gamma ha' been vera bad
if they liked ho'ers well emo to steal 'em."

rattenIng Terrapln without Food.

We get terrapin from little town down
in Maryland where they are bought up
from the fishermen who catch them in
nets in Chesapeake bay.
"There are diamond backs in other
southern waters-here is one that came
from Savannah-but none are supposed to
have the exquisite taste Of those caught in
the Chesapeake"
GLOW long will they liyes"
"For three or four months, and strange
to say get fatter the longer they are kept.
All the food they get is a little sea grass
put down for them to waddle about in. "
The average terrapin isn't over seven
inches long, and in the shell don't weigh
over two pounds. The late Mr.. Wormley,
of hotel fame was n connoisseur in dia-
mond backs, and bought as many as 300 at
n time. He put them away in a remote
room, where no light entered, so that they
wouldn't stir about, locomotion being a
hindranco to the fattening process. Inter

One of the most important characters
tics of Mr.. Thomas Hughes tom Brown
Is his kindness to anybody in difficulty. A
short time ago a Stockport tradesman
wrote to him requesting advice on mat
ter of business. The judge sent kindly
and exhaustive reply, covering several
sheets of foolscap In his county court du-
ties he often manifests sympathy with the
working classes. In the Ashton-under-
lyme county court few years back-to
take one example out of many-a laborer
brought an action under the employers

When the plaintiff entered the witness
box the opposing barrister subjected him
to mercless badgering. Over and over
again the poor fellow had to explain how
the accident in dispute happened; every
time the barrister could not understand"
though tocverybody else in court the thing
was clear enough. At length the judge,
seeing how matters stood, said to the
plaintiff:

Of the battle of Wounded Knee creek.
He corroborated the statements made by
other delegates that there were At no
time more than 200 men. women and
children in the Bad Lands during the
trouble.
Spotted Horse spoke chiefly in regard
to the establi hment Of new day schools,
and his efforts to keep he Indians in the
straight road and TO avoid ghost dances.
Big Road, Of the Pine Ridge agency,
admitted he was ghost dancer bat
said he took no part N the hostilities.
Before the dance, the Indians all Joined
hands and prayed to God for something
to eat. They took all the rings of their
fingers, to show God they had nothing,
and closed their eyes as II in a dream,
neither looking right nor left. The
reason why Rcd ClCu tetreated to the
Bad Lands, was lecause the DO ice fred
into his house He then joined the
hostiles but soon made peace and re-
turned to the agency
Spotted Horse said that his Indians
had been praying thirteen years that
the Great Father would prevent in.
truders from going on their reservation.
Many Of his tribe did not believe in
ghost dances and would have them no
more. He requested the commissioner
to rebuild the schoolhouses and churches
which were burned during the trouble
at Pine Ridge
In response to questions propounded
by the commits Toner, American Horse
said that the Sioux Indians were not
well armed; trey used Winchester rifles,
and secured their revolvers aud anmu-

The Celts and Germans and Scandinavia
ans worshiped the mountain ash, and it is
especially in the religious myths of the lat.
ter that the "Askr Yggdrasil' plays a
prominent part. To them it was the
hottest among trees, the "world tree, "
which, eternally young and dewy, repre-
sented heaven, earth and hell According
to the Edda, the ash yggdrasil was an ever
green tree. A specimen of it grew at Up
sala, in front of the great temple, and an
other in Dithmarschen, carefully guarded
by a railing, for it was, in a mythical way,
connected with the fate Of the country.
When Dithmarschen lost its liberty the
tree withered but a magpie, one of the
best prophesying birds of the north, came
and built its nest on the withered tree and
Matched five little ones, all perfectly white,

country would regain it's former liberty

of years ago were made the first observa-
tions Of stars Of which we have any certain
knowledge; but in all probability they
were made not less than seven thousand
years ago, by priests in Egypt, who re-
quired to know when certain stars rose
above the eastern horizon, in order that
their morning sacrifice might be offered at
the proper time, that is, exactly at sun
rise
Nowadays, such eye observations have
given place to others made by elaborate in
struments, which enable us to observe
stars not only on the horizon but in any
part of the blue expanse Of heaven, while
by the increased power Of telescopes the
number Of stars within our ken has been
increased from six thousand-the number
which may be seen in both hemispheres by
the naked eye-to probably about eighty
million.-J. Norman Lockyer in Youths
