At little stand sat the nurse, Mrs.
Easton. She was writing, and several
closely written sheets of q letter lay be-
side her.
AS though tired of her task or uncer-
tain how to proceed with the epistle,
however, as Prescott peered, she arose,
and with gesture of weariness, pro-
ceeded to the adjoining apartment, clos
ing the door after her.
TO the shuttered window Of this room
Prescott hied himself briskly.
A chink through the rotted wooden
Stats offered full view Of the apart

He saw the woman approach mirror.
She removed her glasses, manipulated
her hair and close fitting cap, and then,
turning, she 10y down on a lounge as il

Her face was turned now 30 that Ralph
Prescott saw it plainly.
AS he did 80, cry Of utter incredulity,
comprehension aud bewildermcnt es-
capped his lips.
For startling transition had taken
place.
Mrs. Easton, the nurse, was Mrs. Eas-
ton no longer!
All that pertained to that mysterious
parsonage had disappeared with the re-
moval Of the spectacles, the coil OF
white hair and closely fitting widows

Instead, fresh young face, little
careworn, little anxious, but clear as
a rosebud, and bewitohing as that OF an
houri, looked forth from mass of
golden ringlets.

Of flying carrier-pigeons, on the strict

training used to take place in the south
Of France, but that'is now interdicted,
and no bird from Belgium or Germany

Remarkable Memory.

The Toledo Blade tells OF a conduc tor
on a western railroad who possessed a
remarkable memory. An official Of the
road, who doubted his alleged powers,
was convinced by the following feat:
Coming into his Office one day the con-
ductor said TO him: "There is my train
book. Along the line have taken in
moro than one hundred passengers, and
while you hold the book / will tell you
the station at which every passenger
got on and of, the class Of ticket each
one carried, the color Of the ticket,
whether the passenger was male or
female, and the destination Of all pas
sengers transferred" The list was
gone over and he did not crr in single
particular. He then stated that he
could describe every one Of those one
hundred passengers, giving the manner
OF dress, color Of eyes and hair, and
general appearance, and could select
the lot out Of an assemblage Of thou
sands.

HOW TO ROLL AN UMBRELLA.

though tho Right Way Is Simple.
mo, not that wayl never knew
one man in hundred TO do il right"
said the clerk in the umbrella store.
His remarks were directed at Gus
toner who had proceeded 10 roll up a
recently purchased umbrella to retur-
it to its case, says the New York Sun.
He had done what ninety-nine pei
cent. Of persons who handle umbrellas
do when they attempt to gather the
folds Of cloth in neat roll around the
stick. He had grasped the handle with
his right hand and was twisting the
silk through with his left hand.
THAT win spoil that umbrella when
you have repeated the operation half a
dozen times" the clerk continued, "and
then you will be coming here and COM
planning that that six dollar umbrella
wasn't worth fifty cents.
Now, see what you were doing! You
were making pretty roll, but did you
notice that you were twisting the ribs

as we'll as the cloth? You may have
noticed that your umbrella sticks aud
catches when you try to raise II.
That's because you don't know how
to roll II. You twist the joints OF the
ribs and braces all out Of shape. There,
you see, you have twisted the ends Of
those ribs all around In bunch on one
side Of the handle. Now, let me show
you how An umbrella should be rolled"
The clerk took the maltreated article,
shook out the folds Of silk and worked
the spiral out Of the ribs and proceeded
to demonstrate the proper methods Of
umbrella rolling. Grasping the handle
in his right hand, he encircled the silk
at the tip with his left, which he slipped
down about halfway Of the cloth, press
ing the ribs and braces firmly against
the stick.
The right hand was then shifted TO
the tips Of the ribs, which were held
firmly against the stick, while the left
hand adjusted the roll Of cloth around
them. BY this method the ribs we're
kept straight along the stick and not
partly twisted around IL, as the custo-
mer's roll.

Her Young.
Hon. Lewis NJ Lellan, OF Gorham,

salmon in Sebago lake last May, was
surprised to see loon with her young
one near his canoe. The anxious moth

her child away, but the little one swan
so near the fisher that he easily took
him aboard In his landing-net, and hold

downy coat, to the little fellows evi-
dent satisfaction, says the Lewiston
Journal Meanwhile the mother was
In an agony Of distress.
At first forgetting her native wild
ness and timidity in her mothers love,
she boldly approached the canoe, and
rising In the water till she appeared TO
stand upon 1t, furiously tapped her
wings, uttering menacing cries. Find

she was wounded, rolling over In the

instantly came 10 life and again tried
to entice her little one TO go with her,
but he liked his new acquaintance 30
well that he remained near the boat,
until the fisherman rapidly padded
away for considerable distance, when
he waited to see the outcome Of this ad-
venture. AS he withdrew, the. mother,
with cries Of joy, swan to the little one,
dived beneath him, and taking him on
her back quickly bore him to safe dis
tance, when she stopped and seemed to
be talking TO her truant child in very
different tones from the wild, strange
hoarse laughter by day and the weird,
doleful cry at night" which John Bur

Gen. Tzavellas is well known to the
readers Of the Legend Of the Centu-
ries," by Victor Hugo, as one Of the val
liant soldiers of the wars OF independ-
ence OF Greece. A son Of the general
had been believed dead by his family for
forty years. He left his country forty
years ago TO explore distant lands and
had not been heard from since. He was
taken captive many years ago by Chi
nese pirates, robbed Of all his belong
ings and detained for long time. Dur
ing his captivity they tattooed him all
over the face, body and limbs. Then he
fell into the hands of travelling show
man, with whom he reentered his ma
tive land. He was recognized by his
sister and rescued from the hands Of his
employer. The poor old man Is COM
pletely broken in mind and body and
hardly able even TO tell the tale Of his
long and pitiable sufferings, not to
mention that any discoveries which he
may once have made are all buried In OBJ
livlon.
