CHAPTER XVI.
WAYNE GETS HIS DESERTS.

The attendance at camp-meeting on
Sabbath morning was much smaller
than, it had been on the day before,
there being but few men present, but
what it lacked in numbers it made up
in zeal.
I'm determined to do what r can
to make this day long to be remem-
bered in all the region round about, "
said the elder, to Samsnthy. "Iwant
you all to help me-" he told the
friends who gathered about him when
he came upon the camp-grounds.
"Let US pray for shower of grace,
brothers and sisters, a good big
shower oft, and not little sprinkling.
The first exercises of the morning
were "love-feast." Have any of my
readers ever attended one? It is a
meeting in which all rise and speak
freely, telling of their hopes and de-
terminations, and testifying of the help
and comfort that religion had been to
them. 1t lacks the formality of class
meeting, in which each person is ex-
pected to speak, and is called on to do
so. It is free, unurged expression
Of the religious nature, and has social
spontaneity in all it's utterances, which
makes those who take part in it feel at
ease. and among friends. 1t binds
strangers together by one common tie
of faith, and is full of helpful infu-
ences. 10 believing souls it is indeed

Hunts With q Cat.

A nimrod of Milford, Penn, hasn't
any use for bird dog in his hunting
expeditions. He takes along with
him an ordinary cat to perform the
duties usually falling to the dog
which the average hunter takes
along to help. him find game. The
capabilities of the cat were first dis.
covered the other day when the young
fellow left the house on short expedi.
ton after birds. he had gone but a
short distance when he discovered
that the house cat was following him.
He tried to drive it back home, but it
persisted in accompanying him. It
illustrated its ability as hunter by
':pointing" a woodcock in the most
approved style, and after they had
been brought down, Flushed" par
fridge, which its master also bagged.
Since that time pussy always accom-
panies her master on his hunting
trips, and does her portion of the
work as we'll as any dog might.

Queer Things in the Tariff.

There are some queer things in the
tariff bill. Several years ago, when Judge
Kelley, of Pennsylvania, was Chairman
of the Committee on Ways and Means,
the members were revising the tariff,
and somebody suggested that the ex-
listing duty of thirty per cent. upon
alkakange should be increased to fifty
per cent. The question was discussed
for an hour or more, when some mem.
ber of the committee, who had taken
no part in the controversy, exclaimed:
"What in thunder is alkakange,
anyway"
Judge Kelley asserted that it was a
kind of acid. Somebody else said it
was drug. A third member said
that he knew it was a chemical Of
some sort, but wasn't quite sure what
it was used for. The item was passed
over for the moment to allow the clerk
of the committee to ascertain what
alkakange was. He consulted all the
scientific bureaus of the Governm ent
and all the books of reference without
getting any light on the. subject.
Finally some one suggested that il
might be mistake of the printer, and,
sure enough, an investigation led tc
the disclosure that several years be.
fore, when the tariff was under consid.
Grafton, line of the bill, which con-
tanned only one word, got "pied" at
the printing Office. The printer put
the letters together the best he could,
with the expectation that the clerk
of the committee or the proofreader
would correct it. It happened to be
overlooked, and this word that means
nothing might have remained on the
tariff list for all eternity had not GU
rious Congressman asked what it
meant.
A similar case occurred some years
later through the bad peumanship of
Horace Maynard, of Tennessee. He
attempted to write "styrax" and the
printer made it "sturrax. This item
remained on the tariff bill for several
years, until somebody discovered the
mistake. Styrax is drug made from
plant grown in Java, Sumatra,
Borneo and other parts of the East
Indies.-Chicago Record.

8 THE REALM OF FASHION. {
8@@@B@B@@B@ B@@@@@ae

per's Bazaar, there are many very
smart costumes made with skirts that
have no trimming whatever, and
which are severely plain and OF
medium width. The tailor-made
gowns especially have the plain skirts
quite as often as the trimmed ones. A
peculiarly attractive model for q cloth
gown has the plain skirt and short
jacket trimmed with velvet and chin
chilla fur. The jacket is belted in,
and has a jaunty little basque, which
is trimmed all around with q band Of
the ohinchilla. Revers, wide at the
top, and tapering in at the waist-line,
are bordered with the fur. The high
collar has band of the fur, and there
is fur around the faring cuffs. A
fitted vest Of gray velvet is one of the
features of this gown. A smart gown
of cashmere is made with the skirt
slightly en- train, and all fulness well
towards the back. Around the foot Of
the skirt is a pattern braided in velvet
ribbon. The waist is cut SO as to give
breadth, and yet tapers at the belt,
which is Of folded elvetribbon. Wide
but short revers turn back sharply
from the vest, and are faced with
velvet. and the waist itself fastens
across diagonally, with the edge fin
ished with braiding to match the pat
tern on the skirt. The sleeves have
three tucks across the puff. Quite
like the old portraits when stocks
were worn is the effect of the band
around the throat of mousseline de
sole with bow-knot The vest, also
of the mousseline de sole, is shirred
across horizontally.

Ladies' Blouse.


The popularity of the cloth costume
is an established fact, says May Man
ton. The stylish model shown in the
large illustration is we'll adapted to
zibeline, broadcloth and cheviot, worn
with skirt of the same, and over q
shirt waist of silk or velvet, As illus
trated, tie material is zibeline in deep
Bordeaux-red with trimming Of astra-
khan and yoke of smooth-faced cloth,
banded with narrow black braid.
With it is shown q belt of handsome
black leather, and q hat of black vel
vet with ostrich plumes.
The foundation for the blouse is a
fitted lining made in the usual man
ner, and closing at the centre-front.
The blouse proper is fitted by shoul-
der and under-arm seams only, the
tabled epaulettes being cut as parts
of the back and fronts. The yoke IS
scanned to the right shoulder, and
hooks over to the left. The blouse
pouches we'll over the belt and closes
invisibly at the left side. The basque
portion is separate and scanned at the
waist line. The sleeves are two
scanned and show only slight fulness
at the shoulders. Beneath the epau-
lettes they are scanned to the lining
only, an extra strip of the cloth being
stitched on to insure strength. The
entire garment is lined with taffeta
silk in harmonizing shade of red.
To make this blouse for lady in
the medium size will require two
yards of forty-four-inch material.

CHAPTER XIV.

RETURN OF THE FAIR ADVENTURES.
As may readily be imagined, there
was great CONSERVATION in the Boone
household when the absence of Mamie
and Rhoda was discovered, on Sunday
morning.
Mrs. Boone had passed a somewhat
sleepless night, and rose early. She
busted herself getting breakfast. won
dering, meanwhile, why Mamie did
not come down as usual to help her.
''Poor gal! I s'pose she was jest
beat out with what happened las
night" thought her mother. "I don't
wonder, nuther. I be, myself. I'll
let 'em sleep till breakfas' is ready"
At last the meal was on the table,
and she went to the ladder leading to
the attic where Mamie and Rhoda
were supposed to be asleep, and called:
t'Come, girls, time you was up. It's
pas seven O'Clock, an breakfas' is
ready an waitin'. Be spry now.
Mis- Holdredge, air you up yit?''
Yes, Mrs. Holdredge, who had oc-
cupied the room belonging to Mamie,
was up and dressed, and came into
the kitchen presently.
"I didn't hear the girls a-stirrin'
after you'd called 'em," she said. cit
mus be they sleep sound this mornin'. I"
Mrs. Boone went to the ladder and
called again.
No answer.
"It's curi's," she said. ''Nannie
amt never hard to wake up"
She went up the ladder till she could
see into the attic.
& No one was there. The bed had
not even been slept in.

s,non,ar Case of Human shrinkage.


A singular case of human shrinkage
is reported from the Soldiers, Home
at Sandusky, Ohio. Peter Cooley;
who was admitted to the home about
four years ago, was, when he enlisted
in the Fourth Indiana Infantry IN
1861, five feet and two inches tall and
straight as an arrow. His perpendicu-
larity has been in no wise affected since
that time, but to-day he stands exactly
four feet and four inches in his stock
ing feet, having, without in any man
ner affecting his health or general ap.
pearance otherwise, grown ten inches
shorter. He is q well-built, compact
old man, now in his eighty-frst year,
and is as lively and active as boy

APPLIES FOR COWS.

Apples are abundant this year, and
In many cases it is an open question
whether 1T will pay 10 ship them. We
would advise that only the very best
quality be shipped and tho lest be fed
to the cows. Where markets are so
depressed, rs at this time, it often
happens that common stock will not
ray any profit at all, while really
choice fruit will bring fair price. III,
therefore, we ship only the best we
have better chance o. making some
thing on our apples, and at the same
time have a lot of good feed for the

stock.

She was again observed by the shep.
