The rain fell in sudden showers on
his cap and shoulders, the wind swept
toward him in boistrous gusts from
time to time, and he was wholly in
different to both. The sea was
roughened by tossing surges, and of a
Ieaden tint, the sky was gray, while
the countryside had assumed the vel
low hues of wet roads and drenched
gardens The scene was ugly, and
even dispiriting, robbed of sunlight
and a blue heaven, but the heart OF
the young officer rejoiced. He stepped
along briskly and hummed the Swal.

a real ball? Would she be glad to see
him? How would the old mai re-
ceive him? The near future unfolded
before him clearly, as he rashly imag-
ined, composed of stolen in
terviews, engagements for the next
day on shore, letters, and all the idle
and delicious dalliance of a love affair
with a charming and innocent young
girl, whose dark eyes had opened wide
with establishment when he entered
the garden gate, with her grandfather
for the first time. He was prepared to
develop a thirst for archaeology, and
stock his cabin with headless idols,
and terra-cotta jugs, if necessary, in
order to further propitiate Jacob Deal
try, and establish a footing of init
macy in the house.
These meditations brought the young
man to the garden door in question.
He raped on the panel. There was
no sound of movement within the en-
closure. He repeated the knocking,
for their was no bell on the premises
Florio uttered a shrill bark in the in
terror of the tower. The visitor
waited with a smile on his lip, and
eager expectation in his eye. Dolores
must have heard the summons, and
would hasten to open the gate, &C
companied by her faithful dog. Lieut..
Curzon felt a sentiment of affection
for the little animal awaken in his
breast for announcing so promptly his
arrival
No light footstep approached the
boundary and the succeeding still
ness seemed to denote complete deser-
ton.
The sanguine countenance of the
young man heightened. Apprehen-
sion seized him. His s~ensibilities
being highly wrought by a new and
absorbing life interest, and therefore
prone to swift extremes, a fear of
some accident or misfortune smote
him. He pushed the sunken door
vigorously, and some slight obstruc-
ton of fastening yielded to the blow.
Then he entered the enclosure and
gazed about him. The aspect Of
melancholy desertion of the Watch
Tower struck him forcibly, and re-
CURED to his mind on a subsequent oc-
casion. The grey sky lowered above
the structure, forming a fitting back
ground for the dilapidated masonry,
which was furrowed and stained by
the storms of many years The very
garden, borrowings sombre shadow
from the temper of the day, appeared
unusually unkempt and dishevelled.
Moisture hung or the tendrills of
vines, and dripped from the twigs of
the trees, like human tears. The
water in the fountain was stagnant.

How had Dolores thriven amidst such
surroundings? Unconsciously he made

TRAIN HELD UP BY HoRNErs.-

TRAIN HELD UP BY HoRNETs.-A
swarm of hornets Wednesday held up a
passenger train on the Chicago, Fort
Madison and Des Moines Railroad, and
gave the trainmen and passengers a
battle that will be remembered longer
by far than if it had been against ban
dts. The train was running slowly up
steep grade just outside Ottuma, Ia.,
where the hillside is covered with trees.
Suddenly Engineer Cunningham notic-
ed black mass moving through the air
ahead of the train. Had he known
what was coming he would have stop
ped his engine and backed to the next
station. The small cloud soon develop
ed into swarm Of hornets. The hor,
nets noticed the putting engine and
made for it. They attacked the engi-
neer and fireman, who were forced to
stop the train. 1t was sultry day, and
all the car windows were open. This
gave the hornets an opportunity to
enter the cars and poster the passen-
gers. It was an hour before the train.
men and passengers succeeded in d1iv-
ing away the hornets. A number of
persons were severely stung. The train
stopped at farmhouse until the in-
juries could be attended to and then pro-
ceeded to Ottumwa.

Catarrh starts in the nasal passages, affect

great enemy of the mucous membrane. Neg
lected colds in the head almost invariably
precede catarrh. causing an excessive flow of
mucus, and if the mucus discharge becomes
interrupted the disagreeable results of Ca
tarrh will follow, such as bad breath, severe
pain across forehead and about the eyes, a
roaring and buzzing sound in the ears and
oftentimes very offensive discharge Ely's

BABIES IN HOT WEATHER.

1t ls always dangerous, says writer
in the New York Recorder, to feed a
child five months old with any kind of
food other than breast milk. If the
mother is able to nurse her offspring
she should be congratulated, as she
obeys the laws of nature, and wilfcer-
tainly bring up her childmore easily and
with less trouble and anxiety than with
artificial food. You say your child is
restless and his teeth trouble him. Per-
haps we ought to look to the nurse for
this restlessness. The mother cannot
be too careful in her diet while nursing
her infant, and, while she must eat and
drink plenty, it must be of the right
kind. If she is good nurse her thirst
naturally will be incessant. Let her
use plenty of sweet milk, weak tea and
cocoa, hut no coffee or stimulants. If
she feels weak she may be allowed a
glass of ale and porter mixed ct bed
time, and at her midday meal. She
must not indulge in berries or any
kind of acid fruit. A good ripe peach
or ripe scraped apple may be eaten
once in while. As to vegetables it is
only safe to use spinach, celery and
little potato, but positively no salads or
anything dressed with vinegar can be
allowed. Never nurse your child when
you come in heated and tired from a
walk OF when you are at all nervous
cool off and take a drink before you
take your child. If the blessed baby
cries and gets impatient and wants It's
food, let it cry it is better that he
should cry from temper than from paiu,
which hewould surely get from heated
and tired milk.
Be punctual in feeding the child
Some children do well in being fed
every three hours, but 1 have known
cases when they required it every two
hours. Digestion isnot alike in every
human being, therefore it is hardly
wise to lay down any rule, and the
mother must learn it by her own obser-
vation.
If you think it advisable to feed
your baby besides nursingit, do it at
midday, instead of the breast milk, so
that you can rest also. If you have
sufficient to satisfy him, however,
try to avoid using any kind of artificial
food during the heated term, remember
ing that August and part of September
is the most trying time to the babies.
1t is harder to bring up boys than
girls, our grandmothers used to say,
and how often we have laughed at the
idea. Still, it is so, because statistics
show it. / should advise you to get
half pound of clear beef, say from the
upper round, heat it thoroughly on the
gridiron, sprinkle it with salt as soon
as taken off the fire, and squeeze the
juice out of it; give this to the child
once q day, beginning from the day tits
FIVE months OLD. The dose should be
at first Is drops, and be increased as he
grows older. If while teething the
bowels should be troublesome, the best
food is prepared in the following way
Tie up some flour in a clean piece of
muslin and boil it continuously for six
hours in a pot of water. When cold
CRATE it and boil it in half water and
half milk, adding pinch of salt and a
little sugar. 1t often acts like charm
