The Wife of Sir Henry Taylor.

The late Lady Taylor, wife of the au-
thor of Philip van Artevelde," was a
charming woman, and much beloved
by the English men of letters, her hus-
bands friends. Even Carlyle, it is
said, had nothing unkind to say about
the Taylors. With Lord Tennyson's
family the friendship was of old stand
ing. 1t is thirty years since, in one
of her letters home, when she was
staying in Freshwater Bay, she wrote:
Il went to Farringford and sat
awhile with Mrs. Tennyson; and then
Alfred asked me to go up to his attics
again, and when l had said all had to
say about the beauty of his views (not
quite enough to satisfy him, though,
the best, and he growled out. How
fine as another!'') he took me all over
his place, and was very kind and
cordial"
Mr.. Aubrey de We're was Lady Tay-
lor's first cousin by blood, and her
younger generation of writers, Mr..
Robert Louis Stevenson was her first
favorite. To her he dedicates his
merry Men. 10 your name, II l
wrote on brass, could add nothing.
1t has been already written higher
than could dream to reach, by a
strong and dear hand; and if 1 now
dedicate to you these tales, it is not as
the writer who brings you his work,
but as the friend who would remind
you of his affection" This delightful
association, which began when Mr..
Stevenson went to Bournemouth in
search of kind winds some four years
ago, was one of her keener pleasures
in late life.

Among The Iongols.

Medicines also are much sought after
by them, says writer in the Century,
speaking of the Mongols. While was
at Dulan-kuo nearly every one in the
village came to see me, and most of the
people asked for medicines, whether
they were suffering from any complaint
or not. Plasters were in great de-
mand, as all the villagers had rheuma-
tism, and the tighter the plasters stuck
the better they were held to be. l had
with me bottle of Eno's fruit salts,
and tried to give some to the people,
but when they saw the salts boiling and
fizzing they thought there must be
some magic about the medicine and
would have none of it.
Most of their troubles, sores and eye
diseases come from dirty habits, but
one can never persuade them of the
necessity of keeping clean. A friend
of min was once travelling among the
Mongols and an old crone came to him
and begged some medicine to put on a
sore. He told her that before apply
ing the salve it would be necessary to
wash herself. She gave it back to
him, saying: Il am sixty-seven years
old, and l have never washed in my
life; do you suppose l am going to be-
gin now?"
Mongol physicians feel the patient
pulse on both wrists at the same time,
and never ask any questions; or at
least none concerning the origin and
progress of the complaint, for if they
did it would be held that they had
shown ignorance in their profession.

Deserves a Medal.

New York city was the scene of a
little street drama lately which the
San thus describes: A cart was deliv-
ering a load of coal. The willing
horse tried his best to back the vehicle
to the desired spot, but even his great
strength was not equal to the task.
Then the driver began to beat the
animal, and this quickly collected a
crowd. He was big fellow, with a
fierce look in his eyes, and the by
standers were chary about interfering,
knowing what would follow.
II pity the horse, but don't want to
get into a row." remarked one.
''I'm not in the least afraid to tackle
him." put in young man with a long
down along will come a policeman
and arrest us BOTH"
The driver was beating the horse
and nothing was being done about it.
when little girl about years old
approached and said:
please, mister"
"Well, what yer wantp"
'1f you'll only stop I'll get all the
children around here and we'll carry
every bit of the coal to the manhole
and let you rest while we're doing it,
The man looked around in a defiant
way, but, meeting with only pleasant
looks, he began to give in. and after a
moment he smiled and said:
'.Mebbe he didn't deserve it, but Pm
out of sorts to-day. There goes the
whip, and perhaps a lift on the wheels
will help him."
The crowd swarmed around the
cart, many hands helped to push, and
the old horse had the cart to the spot
with one effort.

Too Saving.
Aunt Betsey Hicks, a Ne

Aunt Betsey Hicks, New England
woman who had been left widow
after a few years of married life, car
ried on her late husbands farm with
a good deal of ability, but with such
close economy that her saving devices
grew famous in the country round
about. says the Youths Companion.
Next to her economy of provisions,
her economy of tirewood was perhaps
her chief concern. At one time a
sister of her late husband, from 'down
country" came to make her visit
and soon became convinced that Betsy
was trying to feeze her out. But per-
haps this was not so, since the tenn
perature was as Mrs. Hicks usually
kept it.
II declare" the visitor ventured to
exclaim, 81 should think you kept it
pretty cold here, Betsey!"
THAT 'ere pesky thermometers to
blame, Susan" said Betsey. Il guess
It's got choked up. can't get it above
fifty to save my life!'
Then she turned over the stick of
wood in the sheet-iron stove, while her
guest walked up and down the room
with her hands thrust up the sleeves of
her dress.
The visitor remained at Aunt Bet
sey's for several days. however, in spite
of the choked-up thermometer, spend
ing much of her time in bed, or watch
ing chance to smuggle stick into
the stove when her hostess was out of
the room.
Late one afternoon she happened to
go out into the woodshed, and found
Aunt Betsey there with an old shawl
wrapped around her shoulders and a
stick in her hand, engaged in violently
stirring something in a large tin can.
A strong smell of petroleum filled the
air.
"Betsey Hicks" said the visitor,
"what be you a-doin'P"
wal, if you want to know" said
Aunt Betsey, Il thought I'd see if I
couldn't stir leetle mite O. water int
the karosene. 1 reckoned it'd go a
leetle fu'ther, 'th so much comp'ny in
the house as l seem to haver'
Her guest went away early the next
morning on the stage-coach.
