Meanwhile Nettie was having her
hair brushed out, feeling jubilant in
deed, despite the severe lecture her
mother had given her. Somehow,
the happiness in her face seemed to be
reflected in her maids, for Barker was
positively besming with satisfaction,
and at the same time her thoughts
seemed far away, for she repeatedly,
in fit OF abstraction, brushed her
young mistress's face, which was most
painful.
Barker, what are you thinking
Off" demonstrated Nettie. after the
third face brushing. For answer,
Barker threw down the brush, and an.
nounced with tears of joy in her eyes
and happy giggle in her voice:
"Oh, Miss Nettie, I'm so excited !
hardly know what I'm doing I'm 60
ing to be married. And his names
Tommy Green, and he is so good look
ing, miss-but stop, I'll show you his
photo" She pulled an envelope out
of her apron pocket, and took from it
a photograph OF q handsome man in
uniform, which she laid triumphantly
before her mistress on the dressing
table.
But Nettie did not look at the pho
tograph; her eyes were fixed on the
address Of the envelope, which was in
the handwriting she had so tenderly
studied as that of Captain Tasting.
"Tell me, Barker" she calculated,
"who is this man you're going to
marry?" And she snstched up the
portrait hastily.
"Lor', MISS" answered Barker,
she's the servant OF that Captain
Tasting who was here this evening,
and the Captain thinks no end of him,
and"
"Oh, I see." said Nettie, greatly
relieved, che directs his letters for
him. Can't yonr soldier writo, then?"
Scan my soldier write" exclaimed
Barker Indignantly. "Why he's most
highly educated, miss, far above the
common run of soldier servants; and
as 20 writing, he does it SO we'll that
sometimes when the Captains busy he
gets Tommy to answer letters for him,
like private secretary. Not impor.
tant letters, of course, miss; but l
mean, for instance, he'll sometimes
toss him an invitation and say Just
except this Tor me Green, OF perhaps
he is to refuse it, as the case may be,
miss; and then, Won see"
"Yes, yes, Barker; good night. I'm
very tired" said Nettic, somewhat
abruptly, "and I wish you every
happiness"
"rhank you, Miss Nettie;I was just
going to tell you 1t was Tommy as
answered Mrs. Blake's last note
inviting the Captain"
Good night. Barkor." repeated
Nettie, with sharpness that sent the
maid away in great hurry, wondering
what was wrong.
Nettie did not mention Captain
Tasting when she could possibly avoid
it. When an invitation to his wedding
with Miss Lillian Bankford came,
Nettie did not 60 but the rest of the
family did, and said it was a very
pretty wedding indeed. Biloxi and

Ewes Apples.

The Hindoos and the Buddhists have
always claimed that the Island of Cey-
Ion is the site OF the Biblical Garden
of Eden. They bring several things
to the support OF their arguments on
this score. Among other things they
say that it is the only spot ON earth
where the botanical curiosity called
"Eve's apple" will grow and mature.
The color of this queer fruit, which
hangs from the branches in a very
peculiar and striking manner, is very
beautiful. being orange on the outside
and deep crimson within. It is called
"Eve's apple" because every fruit, lit.
tie and big, has the appearance of
having a piece bitten out OF one side.
Eight teeth marks are plain TO be seen
in the fully matured fruit. four below
and four above. This singular mark,
together with the fact that the fruit is
q deadly poison, has caused the be-
stowal of the peculiar name. The ma.
tive name of the fruit is kadurn, which
signifies forbidden. The botanical
name is hortus kewensis. The tr De
and fruit were first described by Right
Hon. Alexander johnson in 1S42. ST.
