relations, which almost makes one won.
der how IL comes to pass that so many
women make imprudent and unworld-
~ marriages for themselves.
However that may be, Mrs. Bodding-
ton really thought that her brother
ought to be protected from the widows
wiles, and she probably believed more
than half-which was large proper
don-of the spiteful things said against
poor Mrs. Jack at Percival House.
Now, on their part, the Lillys were
thinking more Of themselves than of
Jacks widow, when they launched out
In such anlmadversions on that poor
lady's conduct; for they argued thus:
Mrs. Boddington, who is a person of
distinction In our little world, must be
made to understand clearly that we are
not Of the degraded class which earns
its living by mental exertion. We
must explain to the stranger that Mrs.
john Lilly, In going governessing,' Is
derogating from the genteel position
she was placed in by an alliance with
this family And to this might be
added, in the case of Emma Lilly,
strong dash Of personal jealousy.
Mrs. Boddington reproached herself
for the easy Incidence which had al
lowed matters to get to the point indi-
Gated by Jennys revelation, that her
Uncle Robert had bribed her not to
tease Mrs. Lilly! Up to that moment
Mrs. Boddington had suspected moth
ing: but on Jenny's hint her suspicious
awoke, and began travelling at rate
which showed that they would soon
make up for lost time, and trifle over.
II am so stupidity good,ratured and
eesy-going," said Mrs. Boddington to
herself. That I never thought Of that
cunning creature making up to Robert.
He Is very sensitive on the subject of
hs age, and is always afraid of being
thought to have any absurd pretensions
to youth; and thea some day, If he
viii come and stay with us at Twick-
enham, / dare say shall be able to find
him a nice suitable person for a wife
I'm sure should be quite glad to see
Robert married, If it would make his
life happier"
And in thus declaring Mrs. Bedding
ton spoke with no conscious dishon-
esty.

Hygienic Value of Perfumes.

DR.. Anders, of Philadelphia, a few
years ago made the interesting discov-
cry that the ozone in the atmosphere,
the element which is the great puri-
fer was mainly supplied from blooom-
ing fowers-and for this reason bloom
ing plants were healthful in dwelling
houses as we'll as attractive. Some in
teresting experiments with the odors
of the flowers have been made in the
Old World, and it is found that many
species Of microbes are easily destroyed
by various odors. The odor Of cloves
has been known to destroy these NIL
mute creatures in twenty-five minutes;
cinnamon will kill some species In
twelve minutes; thyme, in thirty-fiye.
In forty-five minutes the common wild
verbena is found effective, while the
odor of some geranium flowers has des-
troyed various forms Of microbes in
fifty minutes. The essence Of CHINA
mon Is said to destroy the typhoid few
er microbe In twelve minutes, and Is
recorded as the most effective of all
odors as an antiseptic. It is now be-
lieved that flowers which are found In
Egyptian mummies were placed there
more for their antiseptic properties
than as mere ornaments or elements In
sentimental work -Meehan's Monthly.

The man who for twenty-five years has
carried to end from the White House
all of the interesting and valuable mail
received and sent, and who has never
been found remiss IN his duty. There
are men who seem to me monuments
of fidelity to routine trusts. Beckley
is one Of them. Rain or shine, in all
seasons, he makes the hourly trips be-
tween the White House and the city
postoff1ee He is the White House mail
carrier And the horse that has his
home In the White House carries
Beckley. The part of the mansion set
apart for the horse is one corner Of
the conservatory. A thin partition is
all that separates the roomy stall from
the orchids. There is just room enough
for the stall and temporary supply Of
feed, and there the horse eats and
sleeps, under the same roof with the
President of the United States.-GIobe-

CHAPTER TX.

Mrs. Boddington actually did nerve
herself to the unusual effort Of carry
ing out an intention without delay,
and did actually call that very after
noon on Mrs. Lilly. The spectacle of
the smart pony carriage standing at
the door of Percival House excited
much curiosity and interest in the
breasts of such Codlingtonians as were
fortunate enough to see 1t.
1t is to be supposed, either that Mrs
Boddington was able satisfactorily to
excuse her hardness In returning Mrs.
Lilly's visit, or else that the latter lady,
In her Astounding charity, forgave the
delay without requiring any excuse at
all; for the stranger was received with
all courtesy, and even eagerness Of wei
come, at Percival House.
Mrs. Lilly pronounced her manners
agreeable-"so quiet" Gas indeed they
were, for the day geing warm and the
house shady, and the Lilly family q tri-
fie dull, Mrs. Boddington was on the
eve of falling into gentle doze twice
or thrice during her vlsit.) Rebecca

THE MYSTERIOUS NILE.
The Cause and the Results of Its
Regular Annual Overflow.

The Cause and the Results of It's
Regular Annual Overflow.
In every epoch of Egyptian history
the results Of the annual overflow Of
the Nile have been awaited with the
greatest interest If there be but a
small rise in the river, famine is sure
to ensue. If the rise be much greater
than usual, it leaves in its wake pesti-
lence and destruction.
The causes Of this flood, recurring
each year with unvarying precision,
have been shrouded in mystery until
quite recently. We now know that at
the summer solstice the sun stands d.
rectly above the mountains and table
lands Of Abyssinia and melts the ice
and snow that have accumulated in
their gorges. These waters roll in a
turbid stream down through the great
valley and produce the striking phe-
nomenOn. To us this cause is very
clear, but with the ancients it was diff
ferent. They had not traced the river
to its sources, and could not explain
this inundation, which to them seemed
to be utterly beyond the operation Of
natural causes.
The ancient Egyptian priests taught
that the rise was occaSioned by a tear
of the goddess Isis. When the first
pulsations Of the flood were felt, SOL
emn religious ceremonies were OBJ
served throughout the land. Long be-
forehand beauteous maiden had been
chosen from among the people, destined
as a sacrifice to the deity of the river
When the yellow currents began to
swell more and more, the populace con-
Quoted this unhappy Bride of the
Nile" to the banks of the stream; and,
amid jubilant shouts, she was hurled
into the raging waters. To-day, instead
Of throwing in living maiden, each
year as the waters begin to rise, an
image of the maiden, modelled in clay
Is cast into the stream.

The earliest dates assigned for the
fuu1 dation of the port OF MarsetlLles,
France, Is B. @. 12O0-1000, when, It Is
alleged, certain Phoenician settlers es-
tabllshed trading ports in this locality;
an0 the theory-that the city owes Its
origin to the Phoenicians-has been
Strengthened by certqn archaeological
traces which were brought to light dur
ing the opening mp of streets in 1865.
Classical tradition, however, but with
less supporting evidence, ascribeS the
foundation of "Massila" to a colony of
the Phoeniclans who emigrated with
families from Asia Minor to escape
the tyranny of Cyrus (B. G. 600) and
of whom mention Is made by Herodo-
tus and Horace. TO whatever founder
the city may look for Its origin, it's rap

The fashionable jewelers. OF London
Paris and other continental capitals
have hit upon new idea regarding
the setting of diamonds, says a for
eign exchange. They propose to use
in the setting ivory instead of silver
or gold, and 1t must be Acknowledged
that there is some reason for doing so.
1t is well known how difficult 1t Is to
clean the silver or gold setting prop
erly and to preserve the original lus'
ter. Gold settings have the drawback
OF rejecting their yellow color on 10
the stone, and to depreciate thereby
the water of the stone. Another
weighty objection Is that they lose the
brightness which Is peculiar to these
metals as soon as they are used as the
only setting for rejecting and trans
parent stones, while they are beautlful
and add to the appearance OF dia'
monds set with pearls, cat's-eyes or

question at once, which at present can
only be attained by setting the trans
parent with a half transparent stone

No Danger Of a Salt Famine.

According to computation of the
Berg und Huettenmaennische Zeitung,
the amount Of salt in the sea waters Of
the globe, If extracted, would be great
er in mass than the lard, SO far as it
appears above the surface. The seas,
it says, cover 70 per cent of the earth's
surface, estimated. at 100000 Ger
MANI square miles. The percentage Of
chlornatrium in the sea Is the same at
all depths. Assuming tfat the average
depth Of the sea Is a half (German)
mile, there are then 100000 cubic
miles of sea water. A cubic mile Of
sea water contains, on the average,
about twenty-five Kilograms of salt
The 100000 cubic miles OF sea water
would, therefore, contain $1,000 cubic
miles ct distilled pure salt.
