His consciousness was vibrating to one precious thought He had sprang upon the moving train, after setting free the engine, and they were still moving on so fast toward the terrible danger that death looked abso- lutely certain. and in the awful reality of that moment heart must needs speak to heart. They turned tO each other, the man and woman. and their eyes told the story of their unchanging, unchanSe. able love. In second they were clasp ed in each others arms, their faces cheek to cheek turned forward toward the awful danger ahead of them When the crash came, Grace shut her eyes, and a long shudder ran through her; | but her lover drew her tighter to his | heart, and as their train slackened speed and they realized the danger was past, | the burden in his arms grew heavier aud he found that she had tainted.

But Forrest, although he was the hero of the hour, whose hand all the men were eager to shake and all the women to kiss, would not take his gaze from her face until her ayes were opened once more to life and consciousness; and as they so rested upon his, lol they brought to him-will- ingly or unwillingly-a sweet, sure message of love.
 The rest of that day passed by as a dream. Grace was conscious that she had tainted and that she had walked with that look of tenderness in her eyes, but she was too weak to do anything but reply to the questions put to her by some of the ladies who were her travel ing companions, and who eagerly con stituted themselves her nurses and guardians for the rest of the journey. A feeling of delicacy kept Forrest away from her. and she was thankful to him that he did not put her strength and self control to a test it could not have stood In a sort of lethargy she reached her destination, where she had been rec commended to the keeper of quiet boarding house. Here she was taken in charge by kind and efficient hands, and after the awful strain of this memorable day, she fell into a profound sleep, from which she did not wake until the nor rows sun was rising in the heavens She felt rested and refreshed, and was able now to take calm survey of the exciting events she had passed through Of two things she was certain-that she loved her girlhood's lover with all the matured strength of her womanhood and that he loved her These were the blessed, beautiful. joy giving facts, but in spite of them there rose the vision ot tv graves.

The Cost Of Feeding q Boy.

1t is worth something to know what
it costs to feed a boy fairly well.
During the Investigations made by the
Record of the operations of the Squeers
Syndicate Orphan Schools, it was
shown that, taking their own some
what doubtful figures, the cost was
about four cents a meal. But the syn
dicate orphans were not well fed.
DIR. McKinnon, the superintendent
of the Mimico Industrial School in
Canada, has furnished the Toronto
Mail with an interesting statement on
the subject. There are 10S boys in the
school, who are kept in good bodily
health, and whose subsistence is bought
in a wholesale way that would some
what cheaper the cost as compared
with ordinary household expenditure.
The boys have all they wish to eat,
and the superintendents accounts, not
being complicated by expenses for sus-
tenance for other persons, furnish val

"The old lady dropped her parasol,
made rush towards Stevens TO kiss
him, and when he held her off, she
said:
"H came from Bucks County to
see Thade-e-us Stevens, the Apostle %
Liberty, and to take home with me a

"The Apostle of Liberty took off his

FLOWER or FLAX AND DIAGRAM SHOWING
REGULARITY OF ITS PLAN.
Within the rsriauth are found the
essential floral organs, so called because
they are the instruments for porfecting
the seed. They are the stamens and
the pistils.
The STAMENs are the threadlike or
gans seen around the pistils and vary in
number. the most usual number being
five.
The PIsTE.s occupy he centre of the
flower, they are sometimes numerous
but often appear t. be but one and are
d,stined 20 bear the seed; they are
sometimes called HarIels.
The ToRus il the axis of the flower

cles or vhorls.
The typical flower has all these parts
arranged in rs many concentrio circles I;
it must have tie organs of the same
name al alike and the same number in
each circle disconnected from each
other. This type, however, is seldom
realized, making endless variety of form
and color.
The flower of the fax co'L bines very
nearly all the onditions and comes as

be.
TIE BLACKBERRY LILY.
This handsome flower is not, as its
| popular name leads to suppose, a lily
| at all, but belongs 20 the Iris Family.
Its scientific name, Parddanthus chin
eSis,is derived from pdrdOS, leopardand
! anfhos.a a Ilower-hcn nee, leopard flower;
| and chit"Sis means of China. The Chi
nese Leopard Flower was formerly very
J common in gardens, but like many an
/ other deserving plant has given way to
| the universal ,raZe for novelties. The
| stem grows three or four feet high,
| branches at the op where it bears reg
| ular flowers os an orange color and
abundantly dotted with crimson or red
dish purple spots. One great merit OF
/ the Leopard Flower is that it is late
Towering, beIngin bloom from mid
| summer to September. After the
pretty flowers have faded the capsules
grow on and enlarge, and when quite
ripe the walls of the capsules break
away and curl up, leaving a central
column of shining, black coated seeds,
looking so much like n we'll developed,
ripe blackberry, that the fruit, if moi
so handsome as the flower, is quite ms
interesting. and shows that in this in
stance it does not require any effort oi
the Imagination to see the applicability
of perhaps Its most common name-thC
Blackberry LILY. The plant is hardy
in most OF oul Northern states, but the
French florists say that it does not en-
dure tho winters of Paris without pro
lection. II is a tuberous-rooted, herb
aceous perennial, requiring rich, sand,
loam sol and sheltered situation il
winter. 1t IS propagated in spring h,
seeds, or by tn, division of the roots

extra throb of pain to Dicks heavy
heart
All the brightness had gone ont O,
the day. He felt humbled to the
earth, for he had failed his mother
when she most needed him, and by his
own careless selfshness. "Well, I am
determined on one thing: will not go
to Harry's or have HIM here. I'll stay
alone and teach myself to remember"
but you cannot in your own
strength" Dick, could almost hear his
mothers voice saying. as she often had
before. For few moments he sat
without moving. and then slowly
crossing the room he kneeled down at
ms bedside and asked humbly for the
help that is never refused the most
erring, if asked for earnestly in faith.
Then feeling strangely comforted, he
seated himself by the window and
began seriously to consider the sltua-
ton.
After about an hour spent in deep
thought Dick went to his desk and
wrote a letter to his mother which
filed her heart with joy. We will take
one little peep into it.
81 see inst how it is mamma" he
wrote. "To-day has made me under

often told me is true: that sorrow for
the consequences of SIN is not repent

thinking no end about it all this after
noon, and 1 have done what you so
often told me to do. asked God to help
me, and 1 think He has already done
so, mamma"
The weeks which passed before he
saw his mother again were spent In
honest efforts to overcome his fault;
and when, one day in August coming
IN hot and tired from the woods from q
long hunt for certain fern which he
knew that his mother greatly wanted,
he found her waiting to welcome him,
he did not feel ashamed to meet her.
'Oh, mamma" he cried, 4 never
knew how much / missed you" His
mother kissed him, and then holding
both his hands, gazed long and silently
into his face. well, mamma" he
said, laughing, "what do you see2"

A LITTLE BOTANY.

For those who love flowers a little
techniaI knowledge, however slight, is
a great help IN studying them and We
purpose to give, from time to time, brief
articles upon the subject which we hope
onr readers may find helpful, defining
the terms in common use among bota-
nIgts with description of our commonest
wild flowers.
Beginning. then, with the develop
ment of the seed, we lind that the en-
bry % plant resting In the seed consists
of two pnr 5; the rddicLe and the plum
ule. After planting, warmth and
moisture awaken this embryo and the
slender radI, lc begins to grow, point
ing downward into the damp earth,
while the plumule Fprouting in the op-
posite direction begins to ascend seek
ing light and warmth. This is, at first,
only a bud, but it soon expands into
leaves and stems and branches. Soon
there comes another change in which
some of the leaf buds undergo a diff
ftrent process of development, and ex-
panding themselves in crowded whorls
or petals, become a flower instead of O
lesfy branch.
The mission OF the flower is soon
accomplished and tho plant then puts
forth all its energies to developing its
fruit.
Plants are divided, as to their length
of life, into perennials, biennials, and
annuals. The latter is class whose
life is limited to a single season In
which it grows. blossoms and ripens its
seed. To this class belong the aster,
the poppy and the marigold.
A biennial is one which germinates
and leaves only in the first season re-
quIrng n second year to blossom and
bear its fruit, as in the case of the
hollyhock and the Canterbury bell.
Perennials are those which grow in
definitely, usually for many years. All
trees and shrubs belong to this class
and also MAN. herbaceous plants as the
the dandelio n, the columbine and the
larkspur.
| Flowers consist of the floral envel
| opes and the essential organs. The
floral envelopes consist of one or more
! whorls OF leaves surrounding the floral
organs.
The outer OF these leaves is called the
CALYx, from Greek word signifying 9
cup. The leaves composing the calyl
are called sepals and have their edges
separate and united, usually green, bu
sometimes colored.
The interior envelope If any, is called
the CoROLLA, n Latin word signifying q
little crown; the corollo has its part:
separate Or united at their edges; these
parts are called petals and are of deli.
cate texture and of various colors
PERIANTH is a word used to designate
the floral envelopes as n whole, and /:
generally used where only one envel
ope exists 0r where ca!yx and corOllt
are not readily distinguished rs in the
tulip or lilv.

Our Pretty Chinese Lady.

Twas lucky enough the other day to
catch a glimpse Of the new Chinese
Minister'S wife as she sat at the WIN
dow in the south part of the Legation
house on Dupont circle, looking pen
siyely out upon the street and park,
saws a Washington correspondent of
the Philadelphia News.
Not only that, but active work
brought an accomplished artist upon
the scene in time to sketch the lady In
one of the prettiest poses, with her
dainty hand up to her head, and a
mirror resting upon the window ledge
close by.
The picture was one which attracted
much attention from psssers by, ana
proyoked the comment that the wlfe
of the minister must have been Deiie
in her own country, and that II is a
pity she cannot go into the society Oh
the American capital and convince all
,beholders that China has produced al
least one pretty woman.
As the wife of a Minister OF china
this little woman has little more liberty
than a convict of the galleys, and IS
already known in the neighborhood OF
the Legation, which is the old house
commonly called Stewart Castle as
"the prisoner of the CASTLE"
She is not permitted to drive oul
alone, nor to go shopping or to NIX M
with the world in any manner. Inc
story that she rebelled one recent day
and went out in the park and sat on
one of the benches till the gathering
crowd drove her back into the house,
