william Blakeney,s misfortune.

William Blakeney was shuttle maker
by trade, but pilgrim by profession. He
dressed for the part with long hair, long
gown and bare feet. He loitered about in
places where men resDrted-taverns and
such-and there entertained all corners
with travellers tales. He had been every
where, this pious and adventurous pill
grim. He bad seen Seville, city of sacred
relics; Rome, the abode of his holiness the
pope; he had even seen the pope himself
He had been to the Holy Land and stood
within the very sepulcher of our Lord.
And what with the strange creatures he
had met with in those far off lands, and
the men and women among whom he had
sojourned, and the things he could tell
you, and the things which he postponed
till the next time, the story would fill vol
umes. For six years he lived in great
comfort, eating and drinking of the best,
always at the expense of his hearers This
man must have been an unequaled story
teller. Six years of invention ever fresh
and newt Then he was found out-he had
never made pilgrimage in his life. He
had never been out of sight of the London
walls.
So he stood in pillory-this poor novelist,
who would in these days have commanded
30 much respect and such solid rewards
he stood in pillory, with milestone round
his neck, as il he had been a common liar!
And then he had to go back to the dull
monotony of shuttle making, and that in
silence, with nobody to believe him any
more. Well, he shortly afterward died, !
am convinced, of suppressed fction.-Wal-
ter BeSant in Harper's

Rai.Ing Flower. foraPerfu,nes.

Farms tc <aise flowers upon are plenty
enough in the United States. Blossoms
for perfumes are of the simplest possible
varieties, and the rearing of them requires
no exceptional skill. The French Guilt
yators eschew all fancy varieties in this
sort of work. Their violets are of the
single kind; their roses are of the common
pink sort, such as grow about farmhouses
in the rural districts of this country; their
tuberoses and white jasemines are of the
plainest description.
They find the plain ones best for the pur-
pose, because they have the sweetest smell
and most of it. In "adorning the rose"
horticulturists have let go some of its de-
lightful odor, and portion of its perfume
has been withdrawn from the violot in
cidentally to the process of doubling" its
petals.
The variety needed is not large. JON
quils, violets and mignonette mature in
February, March and April In May and
June roses and orange blossoms, with
thyme and rosemary, are gathered. JAS
mines and tuberoses come along in July
and August, lavender and spikenard in
September and acadia in October and No
vember The harvest time lasts for nine
months in the year, during which, in
France, buyers go about in wagons from
plantation to plantation purchasing crops
at whatever may be the current rates.
Roses, of course, are the most important
product, and after they have been picked
the bushes are cut down nearly to the
ground in order to keep their vigor from
going to leaves and to preserve it for next
seasons blossoms. All flowers are gathered
as early in the morning as possible, SO as
to- have them as fresh and as strong of per
fume as may be. The thyme and rosemary
are raised mostly by farmers in other lines
of agricultural industry, who usually pos
sess the simple apparatus necessary for dis.
tilling the plants. Such essences as they
produce are Of an inferior sort and are
utilized chiefly to adulterate the better
kinds.-Washington Star.

His w eak Spot.

One evening four or five drummers and agents
who had been working Quincy, ILL.,, says the
Chicago Ne,os. to no purpose were discussing
their ill luck in the Office of the hotel, when one
observed:
There's an old shad down here in hard
ware store who makes me tired This is about
the fifteenth time I've tried for an order, and
it's no 90"
"Old chap with big nose on him." queried
one Of the others.

Ordered me out doors, confound him."
And he told me- said a third THAT he
never bought of an agent, trusted stranger
or got caught on any mans game"

Considerable more was said in the same
strain, but by and by man who had regis
tered from Chicago put in:
Boys, it's all in understanding human ma
ture. Bet you $50 even up that can get SO
out OF him in fifteen minutes and that without
value received or signing my name to a paper. $
His money was covered instantly, and next
morning he took one of the crowd down TO the
store, introduced himself and said:
Mr.. Blank the governor Of the state gave
ms your name as a prominent resident of the
neiRhborhood. Our house is publishing county
histories of Illinois. Every subscriber at S25

Blank g order for book, and $40 paid down as
a guarantee that he would take it. He had hit
him in his weak spot, and our money fell into
his pocket with thud which could be heard
clear across the hotel office.

A Revision,
From the Chrfsttan at Work.

From the ChrtSttdn at Work.
How fresh in my mind are the scenes Of my
girlhood,
AS keen recollection presents them to view
Tht kitchen, the woodshed, and knots of green
firewood
And all the hard work I had then to 90
through:
The bread must knead out, and doughnuts to
fry brown,
The pies for the threshers, and town folks, so
swell,
The clothes / must rub out with FOUNDER and
washtub.
The leaky old washtub, remembered 50 we'll;
The washtub, the washtub, the iron bound wash
The back breaking washtub that sat on the
well.
The beds must make ere the dinner begun,
The dishes to wash when the menfolks were
Sure man S work oft ceasetb, but woman's
ne'er done
The floors must scrub hard, and bags must
patch up,
The stockings to darn; all the tasks none could
How oft in my dreams I'm doing big washing,
With a leaky old washtub, remembered so
The washtub, the washtub, the iron-bound
washtub,
The back breaking washtub that sat on the
well.
The old worn-out vessel, now think with pleas
ure,
Has gone where 1t never will trouble me more;
view in its stead now with exquisite pleasure,
Machines which prevent the old backaches of
yore;
Although long removed from that hard situa-
ton,
Few tears Of regret do intrusively swell
When fancy reverts 10 my fathers old farm
house,
With soft soap.streaked washtub way out on
the well
The washtub. the washtub, the iron bound
washtub
The back breaking washtub that fell on the
well.

TYnhus Favar Cesas.

1t is rather remarkable that so many
typhus fever cases are finding their way into
New York. TIE first case was found there
about three weeks ago The fever patient
was a man who went to New York from
Australia by way of San Francisco. The
nature Of his disease was not discovered
until after after death. Three other cases
have ben discovered in the city, all of which
were imported. The French steamer La
Bourgogne, which arrived in New York on
Sunday with 800 steerage passengers, had a
man on board who was suffering from ty-
plus fever.
1t can hardly be possible that this fever
is following the grip. 1t is an extremely
dangerous fever and highly contagious. If
it should obtain Judgment in New York
it would undoubtedly become epidemic.
The New York board Of health is doing
all it can to guard against its introduction,
but it is puzzled to explain its appearance
in so many different quarters.
