Cheap Railroading.

1t is quite true, says the Engineering
and Mining journal, that the kingdom
of Denmark does not possess a very ex-
tended area, bat the government, by
building railroads and buying those
built by private enterprise has now sue
ceeded in giving to it's inhabitants a
very cheap means of locomotion, and at
the same time owns a valuable asset for
a large amount of its national debt. The
freight rates are already the lowest
known. A bill introduced by the gov
erment proposes to abolish return
tickets and only to issue direct tickets
between all stations. One will be able
to travel the whole length and breadth
of Denmark third-class for a sum not
exceeding $3.50, and the distance Gov
cred is about 300 by 200 miles. This is
a reduction of so per cent.

Many people would be surprised tc
know that fuel, as well as very ac-
ceptable kind of plastering material. can
be made of this apparently useless sub.
stance. Compressed with pitch, it is
formed into blocks of excellent kindline
wood. For plastering walls and ceilings
it is mixed half and half with sand and
clay. Oxalic acid may also be made
from it. 1t is good litter for stables
and has some fertilizing properties. Il
is also an excellent packing for eggs, ice
and various other things.

Take pound of fresh, unslaked lime,
pound of coarse rock salt and gallons
of hot water Fill the vessels in which
the eggs are to be stored and stir the
liquid daily for fortnight. If this is
not done, the heat caused by the slaking
of the lime will harden the yolks of the
eggs. When properly prepared, there
should be a thin crust on the top Of the
lime. Put the eggs into the jars as near
ly new laid as possible. When full, tie
the jars over with bladder and the eggs
will keep perfectly.

How to Avoid Gaining Flesh.

If one can believe what one reads, the

Bow to strengthen weak Ankies.

It will be found very beneficial to
bathe them in salt water-sea water if
possible. Afterward they should be
bound with a bandage that has been
wrung out in cold water. This must be
removed at night and the ankle again
bathed and then massaged for five or ten
minutes. A few weeks of this treatment
will make them very much stronger.

How to Preserve Furs.

There are various ways of preserving
furs against moths At one establish
ment it was said that they had found
the best means to be constant attention.
The furs were carefully inspected and
then put away, not in chests with pre-
servatives for the summer, but in light,
dry closets, and at frequent intervals
until they were again required for use
they were carefully inspected. They
were returned IN the fall in as perfect
condition as when they were received,
and without any of the odors often no
ticeable about furs when first taken out
of storage

How to Launder Organdie and Swiss.
After washing and drying the clothes
make about quart of thin raw starch
by dissolving a tablespoonful of dry
starch in a quart of water. Dissolve a
little soap in the mixture by rinsing a
small bar of white soap in it until it Is
soapy. Test the starch by wetting lit
tie of the cloth in it and ironing it while
it is still wet. If the cloth is not stiff
enough, use more dry starch i'll mixing
it.
Wiring out the article in the raw
starch, and after thoroughly clapping it
lay it in a sheet and roll it up firmly.
In an hour iron it out on the wrong side.
If the lawn is dark colored, it must be
starched with glue. Dissoke table,
spoonful of common glue in quart of
boiling water, and when the Jumps are
gone stir it into two gallon pailful of
warm water. Starch the goods in the
mixture, after testing it to obtain ex-
actly the proper consistency for the goods
when done up. Dry the article starch
ed in glue starch and sprinkle it and
roll it.
Iron it carefully on the wrong side. 1t
is a great mistake, even in the present
time of the revival of starch, to make
dresses or petticoats too stiff. They
should be stiffened to the consistency of
new cloth. Petticoats may be trifle
sitter, but they should not be stiff
enough to rattle.

HER ATONEMENT.
By JENNY WREN.

"Earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust
to dust" The solemn words were sol
emnly uttered, the earth thrown upon
the cofin-lid, the mournful pageant dis
persed, awed and silent, while the long
Grape veil and bowed head of the young
widow concealed her grief from every
eye. Yet, could she have exposed her
face, there would have been seen only a
strange pallor, only dry eyes lowered
TO the ground, only her pale lips form
ing one word which kept ringing in her
heart until it seemed as though she
must shout 1t aloud-"Free! Free!"
Yet the man to whom the sad fare
well duties were being rendered had
given her his last glance of love and
trust What that trust had been, how
entire and complete, was proven when
his will was opened and his whole i'm
mense fortune left therein to her free
will and disposal. No conditions marred
his noble confidence. To the woman
with whom he had lived two short
years Of unalloyed happiness, he gave
all he had to give freely, generously,
asking nothing at her hands in return,
only that she might provide home and
support for his orphan niece, and even
this request was made under the seal
Of q private letter.
Maude Harrison had played well her
part. When she gave her hand to the
man now dead her heart was another's,
but no suspicion of the truth ever
Tossed his mind. That she, who steod
with him at the altar, whose eyes shone
with the fire of love, who lay clasped
to his heart, who pressed her lips to
his, had perjured herself by her very
VOW, was false as she was fair, would
have been beyond his widest dreams of
fancy; and SO, happy in his blindness,
he closed his eyes for the last time, feel,
ing that the only bitterness in death la,
in the fact that he must Cross the dark
river alone, leaving her sad and desolate
upon the shore.
When Kate Leonard first came home
from school where she had spent four
years and met the young and beautiful
woman whom her uncle had called wife,
and, glancfng at her own sombe1
mourning, recalled the fact that they
both shared the same deep grief, a
plying love sprang up in her heart as
she eclasped hernewaun in her embrace.
Her welcome was all that she could ask,
and while she went to her own room
and laid her head upon her pillow with
out thought, the older woman sat for
hours opposite her mirror, studying the
face reflected there.
"She is young and lovely, while am
growing old. All, conceal it as I may,
my 25 years are leaving their mark.
have no longer the freshness of 18.
Will your eye detect it, Max? All. my
love, my one only love!"

'This is my niece, Mr.. Creighton
Mr.. Harrison used to speak of her as q
little girl, and you may imagine my
surprise when this tall, stately young
lady was ushered in upon me-"
"a very charming surprise, should
imagine" was the response, spoken in
rich, musical tones, as she will prove
SO much more companionable for yori.
How very pretty she is" he added,
turning to his companion, as the young
girl, after standing moment beside
them, crossed the lawn and stopped to
gather some flowers.
''Do you think SO? Rather too child
ish type of beauty to suit my taste.
However, am somewhat critical"
"At which no one can wonder, when
your mirror reflects so high stand
ard"
1t was summer, and Mrs. Harrison
was in her beautiful home upon the
Hudson, where was enacted this little
scene. Three years had passed since he
who had amassed for her all this wealth
had beeen stricken down, and delicate
lavenders and creamy 1aces relieve the
somber hue of her widows dress. Her
house is filled with guests, but he, the
latest to arrive, to whom she had ex-
tended but an hour ago the hand OF
welcome, is honored beyond them all.
That he would ever stand beneath her
roof, accept her hospitality, had been a
prayer she never dreamed would meet
with fulfllment. Yet here he is.- Her
hand was laid in his; his voice, with
none Of its old sweetness gone, assured
her that not yet has he found forget
fulness. And down deep In her very
soul the smoldering embers are famed
into flame, which burns all the more
fercely because so long suppressed.
Weeks passed, the June roses fade,
the July sun beams upon the soil, but
each day brings new youth and fresh
beauty to the fair hostess.
tits evening, and Max Creighton PAGES
the rose-bordered walk alone. A cigar
is in his mouth, and thick clouds of
fieecy smoke rise and encircle the hand
some head. His thoughts seem to be
happy ones, for in his eyes CLEANS a
deep light, and smile is on his lips, a
smile which deepens as he catches sight
of a girlish form on the terrace beyond,
and he quickens his steps until another
moment brings him to her side.
"What happy chance has brought you
here alone, Miss Kate? I was just
thinking of you. Do you know that dur
ing this last month have been learning
a secret Pa secret which I was this
moment longing to unburden to some
one-which soon should have had to
whisper to the flowers and trees, II
had not spied you out; and now will you
listen?"
A scarlet flush swept over the girls
fair cheek; flush the mans eye failed
not to note as she answered:
"In order to save the trees and flow
ers from so serious responsibility, I
suppose shall have to, Mr.. Creighton" !"
''Nay, must have willing listener,
for need all her patience. I must 60
