"No," said Miss Susan, slowly; "thcrC

Miss Susan reused.
"Mr Hardy she said, in stately way,
'we thank you for your services. We shall
not require them any more tonight and
she passed out of the room.
Mr.. Hardy looked after her curously,
and soliloquized, "Well, now, don't think
it's safe to leave this with parcel o wom-
en-. How do they know what's in it? If

He pushed his clumsy finger into the ia

the paper and read as follows:

Miss Susan did not heed him, but Miss
Lettice caught the last word, and, with a
little revival of her housewfely spirit,
took the paper from him anXiously, still
half afraid to touch it. She looked up
with a strange expression, as when one
wakes from a terrible dream, and vet cannot
quite believe in the friendly light which dis
pels the shadow. So she called to the eld-
er sister for support, as she had done in
every perplexity since her baby days.
Susan My dear Susan! Come to
me; | cannot understand! ~
But when Miss Susan, coming as natur-
ally to protect her, read the message over
her shoulder, she BOXED up with the full
sunshine of understanding in her face.
Two hours later the sisters passed
through the hall beneath the shadow of
their grandfather's portrait, which had
been rehung in its old place, out through
the front door to the grassy lawn below
the sitthg-room window. The air was
swee, with the scents which the flowers
only give to the evening. As they stood
without speaking, Miss Susan stopped and,
gathering one halt-opcn white flower. put
it into her sisters hand. "Sce' she said,

Cold weather mygIenic RuIes.

Never lean with the back upon anything
that is cold,
Never begin a journey until breakfast
has been eaten.
Never take warm drinks and then imme-
diately 60 out into the cold.
Keep the back, especially between the
shoulder-blades, well covered; also the
chest well protected.
In sleeping in a cold room, establish a
habit of brea hing through the nose, and
never with the mouth open.
Never go to bed with cold or damp feet.
Never omit regular bathing, for, unless the
skin is in an active condition, the cold will
close the pores and favor congestion and
other diseases.
After exercise of any kind, never ride in
an open carriage, or near the window of a
car for moment; it is dangerous to health
or even life.
When hoarse speak as little as possible
until the hoarseness is recovered from, else
the voice may be permanently lost, or diff
faculties of the throat be produced
Merely warm the back by the fire. and
never continue keeping the back exposed
to the heat after it has become comfortably
warm To do otherwise is facilitating.
When going from warm atmosphere
into a cooler one, keep the mouth closed,
so that the air may be warmed in its pas
sage through the nose before it reaches the
lungs.
Never stand still in cold weather. espe-
ciilly after having taken any degree of
exercise, and always avoid standing on ice
or snow, or where the person is exposed to
cold wind.-IHe Samaritan.

How They Wake a sIclgh-ReII.

The making of sleigh-bells is quiet an
art, says an iron-founder. The little iron
ball is too big to be put in through the
holes in the bell, and yet it is inside. How
did it get there? The little iron ball is
called the jinglet, When you shake the
sleigh-bel it jingles. In making the bell
the jinget is put inside little ball of mud,
just the shape of the inside of the bell
Then a mould is made just the shape of
outside of the bell. This mud ball with
the jinglet inside is placed in the mould of
the outside, and the metal is poured in,
which fills up the space between the ball
and the mould. When the mould is taken
OIL you see sleigh-bell, but it will not ring,
as it is full of dirt. The hot metal that
the bell is made of dries the dirt SO that it
can be shaken out. After the dirt is all
shaken out of the holes in the bell the lit
tie iron jinglet will still be in the bell and
will ring. 1t took good many years to
think how to make sleigh-bell.
