ANCIENT SCANDINAVIAN HORNS,

this collection fourteen are in good
condition. They have an elegant
shape. and the fiat metal plates AT
the mouthpiece show good technical
perfection and developed taste for
art. They are in different pieces fitted
together. They We're found buried IN
Moorland, and their good preservation
is believed to be due to the turfy
water. They are of very Thin metal
and generally seven feet long. They
were always found in pairs, the one
in tune with the other. A few years
ago it was found out by DR.. liam
merich that they could still be blown
or played upon. Their tones resem-

have a soft but powerful sound. Some
are tuned in g and + sharp, Others in

balcony in the court Of the prince

MRS. GRANT MAY RF,CEly
TIIFcM.
A Partial Promise Made to Welcome
the Veterans Next Year.

Washington Post: After nearly ten
years of seclusioD, during which time
she has steadfastly refused to attend
any public functions, Mrs.. Grant mas
made a partial concession TO the
wishes OF the old union soldiers, and,
while she will not receive this year,
1t is possible that New Years day Of
1896 will see her first public reception
of the union veterans since the death
of General Grant decade ago
This partial promise wa brought
out In some recent correspondence be
tween Mrs. Grant and members of the
Union Veteran legion Of this city,
when 1t was hoped that Mrs Grant
could be induced to grant the old sol
dlens of the national capital an audi
ence on the coming new year. But for
certain private considerations this
would have been done, and, as 1t Is,
the members of the Union Veteran le-
gion feel ,gratifed TO know that they
may next wear be able to pay their re-
spects to the wife of their honored
commander.
While 1t was known that Mrs. Grant,
since the death Of her husband, had
refused to either receive or be received
In public by any Of the military organ
izations Of the country, the members
of the Union Veteran legion In this
city thought that the present year
when Mrs. Grant was In Washington

be good time to suggest change in
her resolution 70 which up to this

RAILWAY TRANSPORTATION OF

In ScrIbner'S Magazine for Ocbnber

FOR THE ~TEA-T4BLE.

From the Ladies' Home Journal,
When the family dinner is IN the
middle of the day it is desirable to
have a savory dish at tea.
A little good gravy can easily be
made by boiling a few well cracked
bones for an hour, straining and
thickening the liquor with a tea
spoonful of -four rubbed smooth,
seasoning with pepper and salt and
adding a teaspooniul of butter. Heat
the mince in this, letting 1t come
just to the boil, and serve on squares
of toast. No one will dream of
calling it "hash." The flavor can be
varied by using a teaspoonful of
curry powder, OF a little cloves and
allspice, or a pinch of sweet mar
joram.
Instead of serving on toast the
meat can be placed in a baking dish
with alternate layers of tomato,
fresh or canned, the gravy being
Omitted. Cover the top with bread
crumbs, dot with bits of butter and
bake three quarters of an hour.
The stuffing left from roast chick
ems n turkey can be mixed with
minced beef, mutton or veal, shaped
into round cakes oil patties, md
Drowned in a hot frying pan with a
little butter or c~ottolene.
In made dishes the success depends
upon the seasoning and iavoring.
Ii these are skillfully managed the
basis of the dish matters less.

"No, not altogether, but my deep

up since he married."
There was a sickening feeling at
Lisbeth's heart and for a m she
felt as if she we're going to faint.
She managed however, with a violent
effort, to remain calm, but it was a
crucial ordeal through which Pierce
Vaughan was putting her.

home. l wrote to Sir Clement stat
ipl what I intended to do and his

Are you satisfsd?n He was not, 10
WAS perplexed, cut he did not tell
her SO.
Could 1t be possible that after all
there had never been anything be-
tween Clement Dunraven and this
woman, that she was the rigid puri-
tan she pretended. Impossible, the
letter he found in the wood must
have been from her, besides various
other incidents that he had noted,
pointed to their intimacy; no, she
was seeking to blind him, he must be
doubly observant.
Oa2o she was in his power it woula
= As 10 decide whether he would
win her and be silent, thus sacriGcin

whether he would let her 60 and
mbrace the opportunity to par
Clement from his wife and possess
himself of his rights.
So great had become his infatua-
ion for this woman who loathed him
hat he was already wondering
whether he would not give up for
tune for her sweet sake.
1t were vain to press his suit fur
Their that day he however determined
and therefore rose to take his leave,
telling her that Notwithstanding her
desire to have ono danglers" he
should look in when he was in the
neighborhood and see how the home
for first and second childhood was
progressing.
Thankful to be rid of him she
accompanied him to the front door
which she threw open to let him pass
out.

small delight, coming up the garden
walk vas Clement Dunraven.
In the eyes of both men as they
looked at each other was expressed
mutual hatred which they both 80
strongly felt, but usually strove to
conceal.
Clement Dunraven had just heard
of the appearance of Jim Glendin-
ming at Coleshill, hence the reason
of this rash act.
He was anxious to discover IL it
were true and if it would make any
difference to his beloved Lisbeth.
"Qui s'excuse ~s'accuse," as says
the French proverb.
He began an explanation about
Lady Gertrude and a message which
Pierce Vaughan in no wise believed,
but Struggling his shoulders he walked
away more resolved than aver to
fathom the mystery that enshrouded
Lisbeth and his cousin.
