MONA SCULLY;

OH what a name! Scully! Was there
ever so dreadful a name?"
''It is not a bad name in Ireland.
There are very good people of that
name-the Vincent Scullys everybody

But her friend will not consent to hear
anything that may soften the thought

girl who is bending over her couch. as
siduously and tenderly applying eau-de-
cologne to her temples. 1t is Just lit
tie too much. Miss Mansergh fails to
see the compliment in this remark. She
draws her breath q little quickly, and as
the color comes her temper goes.
Dear Lady Rodney, you are really
too kind" she says. in tone soft and
measured as usual, but without the
sweetness. In her heart there is some
thing that amounts as nearly to indig-
nant anger as so thoroughly well-bred
and wel-rcgulated girl can feel. 'YOu
are better. | think" she SAYS, calmly,
without any settled foundation for the
thought; and then she lays down the
perfume-bOttle, takes up her handker-
chief, and. with a last unimpOTtant
word or two, walks out of the room.

The general impression about Henry NJ.
Stanley is that he is large in statue. As
a matter of fact, says the New York sun,
Mr.. Stanley is short thick-set man. and
scarcely a picture that has been printed
shows his face exactly. The most dis
tinguishing point in his appearance is his
,,sir, which is plentiful and v,ry nearly
white. There is a careiessness about the
distinguished traveller which is quite
natural after many years with the savage
tribes of Africa. He likes to lounge and
to stick his hands in his pockets The
other day, when he took a walk on Fourth
avenue with his charming wife, MIR. Stan
ley sauntered along very much as if his
feet were unaccustomed to pavements.
He wore no ( loves and one of his hands
was partly concealed in t1ouser pocket.
But when Mr.. Stanley is talking about
Africa with a group of interested listeners
his earnestness anC intense feeling become
very apparent.

1T is because the republican party in

A GOLDEN RIDDLE.
NARY B. .LEIeHT, IN HARrER's BAZAAR.

MARY B. .LEIGHT, IN HARPER's BAZAAR.
The husbandman one golden morn
\ white seed dropped among the corn.
Beneath the summers mystic spell
1t burst erelong the prlsonIng shell,
And 'twixt the brown LOANS rifted crust
Its emerald leaflets upward thrust.
Through frightening days of rain and shine
Fast grew and thrtyed the generous vine,
And meath the changing skies held up
For sun and dew its golden cup.
Till in its VEINS these forces fine
Had wrought mystery divine,
And given to the world a boon
-air as the golden-hearted moon.
The rudy globe against the mould
Outyied the tabled crock of gold.
Each day ripper hue it gained,
And, while the season Waxed and waned,
Tall knights with cleaning lance and sword
Guarded with Ceaseless watch and ward
Through midnight hush and moonday heat
The golden treasure at their feet.
And when the crops were garnered in,
And grainary and barn and bin
With wealth of goodlier gold were stored
Than that which greedy misers hoard,
Vixen glad lips sang the harvsst-home
Meath lowly roof and lordly dome,
And kith and kin, from great TO least,
Had gathered for the harvest feast,
All, richer than the rarest wine
This yellow fruitage Of the vine,
Transmitted by the housewife skill
To golden disks with taky frill.
No fairer fruit the fields afford.
No choicer Wand decks the board,
And grateful hearts their praises lift
To Him who gives the golden gift.

Ice Houses.
Stnckman and Cultivation

The season is at hand for building the
ice house. If it is delayed longer the cold
weather and other duties may prevent
building it at all The cheapest form Of
ice house we have yet heard of is the one
sent to US by Z. Z. Boyce, of Dakota. Mr.
Boye. says:
My ice house is a cave ten feet deep.
eight feet wide, and fourteen feet long.
with gable roof made of six-foot boards
Ice will keep all summer in this cave if
packed IN fax or Jat straw. 1t has kept
for me three summers, and have had ice
- ice came again.
Mr.. Boyce sent US a drawing Of his ice
house. which shows a door in the gable
end for 6lling and ventilation, and through
which access to the ice house can be had
This ice house would doubtless DO excel
lent service If built In soil with natural
drainage sufficient to absorb ali the water
from the melting ice. and when care
enough Is taken TO prevent surface water
from getting In the cave In many places
such an Ice house would Eli with water
when the frost Is coming out In the spring.
and of course We would lose our ice But
Is Is worth trial where lumber and money
are scarce and the ground dry-oonditions
which prevail II large area OF the west
where ice houses are much needed.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, June 16.-The most
critical campaign in the history of pol
itics opened today, when the gavel fell
on one of the most enthusiastic republi-
can state conventions the Buckeye COM
mon wealth ever has known.
The Importance of the result of the cam
paign not only to the state but to the ma
tion is fully realized and all devices known
TO modern politics will be exerted by both
parties to win favorable verdict from

'manent chairman.
1t was arranged that the convention

The place is remote from railroads and

away. The post Office was kept in his
store and everything was lost. A num-
ber of other houses were swept away
and all the crops along the creek bottom
lauds were destroyed. Considerable
stock was drowned but no lives were
lost. The damage to property will
amount to large sum.

Successful Grating of Skin.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, June IA sue
cessful grating of skin sufficient to
patch up two legs was completed here
yesterday. A year ago A. G. Fulkerson
stepped into a vat of boiling grease.
The flesh of both legs from the knees
down was cooked away. The only
method of repairing the damage was by
grating skin from human beings upon
the injured members. One hundred
and sixty persons, Odd Fellows and
Knights of Pythias, of which organiza-
tiops Fulkerson wss member, contrib
uted portions of their anatomy to be
used in piecing up Fulkerson's wounds.
The gratis were about 1000 in number
and majority of the cases were success
full. Fulkerson was out today enjoying
the use of both limbs.

OTTAWA, Ont, June 16.-The passen-

passed through Castleman last night
report the town burning up. They say
that great piles of lumber and stacks of
tanbark and nearly every house and
store in the village is on fire. Men,
women and children were frantically
rushing toward the woods with what lit
tie they could carry. There is no possi-
bility now of ascertaining whether there
is loss of life, but the destruction of
property must be enormous. The popu-
lation of the town is about one thousand.

it." Both girls chewed that afternoon.
