ADR1ENNE TO BLANCHE.


Now I know what I've always sus-
pected, that you never loved NJ de
Gressan. I'm as sure of it now as if
your heart were open before me and
could look into its very depths. 1t all
dawns upon me now-the expression Of
your cold, steel-gray eyes when he
shoWered pet names upon you or COW
cred your hands with kisses, that terri
BILE look of Indifference when he encir-
cled you with his arm, that calmness at
his coming and his going, that marble
composure the day the news came that
he had been challenged and must
fight. All, all, it all breaks upon
me with the hard, harsh glare
of reality after some delicious dream is
ended. No, you never loved M. de
Gressan, you have never loved any man,
or you would not have written me such
words. No one can jest at love who
has ever felt its terrible dignity, its aw-
full seriousness, its dread solemnity. I
can well imagine a person smiling at
the news of the loss of a fortune, can
even conceive Of a dying person being
so frivolous as to push the holy sacra-
ment aside with ribald epithet, but I
cannot imagine a woman who has ever
truly loved a man as TESTING over the
pang Of a sister. No, Blanche, like the
eyeless fish of the black waters of some
subterranean lake, the glory Of the sun
shine is lost upon you! 1 love you still,
dear Blanche. always shall love you,
but you're not the woman I stand in
need of just at present. Many thanks
for the suggestion, but 1 never carry
copper coin in my portemonnaie.

The present custom of souvenirs
for dinners, visits, and, in fact, for
nearly all occasions, sometimes leads
to deplorable mistakes. A writer in
Frank Leslie's Weekly recalls the oc-
currence in the hospitable career of a
hostess who had reason to regret that
the souvenir craze had ever been
heard of. Mrs. j was the happy.
possessor of a dozen salt-ce1lars of re-
pousse silver, which were almost the
apple OF her eye. She was to give a
luncheon in honor Of q friend from a
distant city, and covers were laid for
fourteen. :
In the arrangement Of the table
the precious salt-cellars were placed
for the guests, another kind being
supplied for the hostess and her
daughter.
The cards designating the places
were laid upon these empty little
dishes, and through some error re-
manned there, SO that the absence Of
salt was not discovered.
When the company assembled at
the table one lady took up her card,
saw the empty salt-cellar, and re-
marking at some length on it's beauty,
said it was "a lovely souvenir" and
slipped it into her pocket. Her ex-
ample was promptly followed by the
rest of the company with the excep-
tion of one unfortunate women, who
either had no pocket or was unable
to find it.
The hostess was petrifed with
grief and despair as she saw her
cherished possessions calmly appro-
priated, but she was unable to offer
the necessary explanation in the face
of the torrent Of acknowledgment
and compliment.
After she received the adieus of
the last guest, and had heard the de-
parting rustic of the last gown whose
pocket held one Of her beloved salt
cellars, she sat down like the Little
Maid Arcade, and Wept.
1t was soon discovered that the
woman without pocket had forgot.

of brief duration. The following

forgotten her beautiful souvenir.
Would Mrs. j kindly send it?
Mrs. j sent it, but in the bosom
of her family expressed the wish tha
the punishment of Lots wife haC
overtaken the woman for looking
back on the charms of that uninten

Well, dear Blanche, it's all settled,
and settled, I believe, by gracious and
ali-wise Providence, which takes far
more interest in the affairs of this world
than such scofferS as you are would fain
admit Now that it is all history, I'll
play the historian and give you a plain
recital without word or comment. You
no doubt remember my telling you Of
the genuine friendship which sprang up
between Casimir and Rene. The more
they saw of each other the more they

the post brought both OF US letters.
When 1 say both of US mean that there
was letter for Rene, too, as he and
Casimir were to go hunting that after
noon.

fire burning on the hearth. Rene was
standing leaning ON the mantel when

A Costly Mistake.

Queen Victoria is said to have a
great fOndness for pearls. She has
taken care that all her daughters
shall have fine pearl necklaces. One
Of her first purchases, after the birth
of each, has been two or three pearls,
and every year, until their marriage,
she has added pearl or two to her
stock until the necklace she required
was ready. In this quiet, economical
way she had been enabled to make
up almost complete rope of pearls
for each of the princessess, and those
who have seen the necklaces at court
say that the daughters are, so far as
pearls go, well supplied with jewelry.
Some years ago her Majesty bought
from well-known London jeweler
three very valuable pearls, the united
cost of which was not far short of five
hundred pounds. "A little while after
the purchase had been made tn
merchant was surprised to receive a
letter from a lady at court, which
read: NTbe Queen wishes very much
to know whether pearls will burn. Z"
The reply to this somewhat tartly
scientific inquiry was an assurance
that if her Majesty wished to oxy-
genie pearls for her amusement she
would find that they would burn in
an ordinary fire. The rejOinder
brought the secret to light. The
Queen had placed the pearls on her
writing desk, wrapped in piece of
tissue-paper. AS she was writing one
morning she used the tissue-paper to
wipe her pen, and then threw it into
the fire. The pearls, all unobserved,
went with it. The ashes of the CRATE
were searched for them in vain.
They had been destroyed so utterly
as to leave no trace. The Queen
with her own hands had cast three
splendid jewels, worth more than the
average income of her middle-class
subjects, into the blaze.

CARGO, a marsupial animal, offers a
queer study. Their young are in

in a pouch by the mother, where they
remain until developed. Even after
development they return to the pouch
in times of danger. The deer-mouse,
one Of our smaller animals, carries
its young clinging to its under side.

the mother to her young. How many

IT is easy to get a medical opinion

is an imaginary disorder are correct.

the dog. being so intelligent beast,

terrible disease. Popular education
as to hydrophObia has been greatly
