from those on the inside of the chapel
there were a good number on the out
side, waiting to catch glimpse of young
master and miss when they entered the
door.
At Is minutes to eight carriage
rolled up and the clergyman, Rev.
Elliot Chambers, with his wife and
daughter, descended from it and entered
the chapel.
Placing his wife and daughter in seats
well advanced, Rev. Chambers entered
the vestry. from which ten minutes later
he emerged clad in the robes of the
Church of England.
At this moment two carriages dashed
up from opposite directions.
From one descended Squire Hill, his
wife, Clarence and Clara; and from the
other Fannie, Herbert Lathrop and
Aunt Mag.
II would Tom were here" said the
squire, land the guests from Whining

steamer. It can't be helped; they may

A mement more and Clarence and
Fannie stood before the man of God.

or hereafter hold their peace"
There were none who spoke.

Herbert Lathrcp looked both pale and
nervous as he placed Fannie's hand in
that of Clarence, and in moment more
Clarence led his blushing bride one side,
and Herbert -Lathrop and Clara Hill
stood before the altar.
Clara appeared as lovely as ever, but
the expression on her face was not
! one to denote happiness.
But short distance behind Lathrop
and leaning against one of the pillars
of the chapel, was Aunt Mag.
Her quadroon face was nearly as pale
as Herbert's, and she had been CHANGING
nervously toward the door ever since she
had entered the chapel. Now the time
had come, and he who was to attend
to the balance was not there

DOG. That Can Tell Time.

1.-The Street Dogs of Constantinople'-
is the title of an article by Oswald Gar
rison Willard. Mr.. Willard says: The
instinct which enables these poor
tramps to tell the time is the most
astonishing thing about these dogs
l mean their being on hand. day after
day, at regular hours when the scraps
are thrown out, and their never being
much too early or too late. The super
intendent of one of the great railway
lines ending in Constantinople told me
the most remarkable case of this / have
yet heard. The Oriental Express. the
famous train from Paris to CONSTANT
nople, arrives. it seems. three times a
week, at certain hour in the after
noon. When the train comes in there
are always many dogs ready TO receive
it. Before the passengers have had
time to get out. the dogs jump into the
carriages and search everywhere under
the seats and in the corners for the
scraps Of luncheon left by the passen-
gers; and when they have found all
the pieces go away. The remarkable
thing is that they never come at any
time except when the Oriental Express
is due; that they never make a mistake
in the day. and always remember that
between Friday and Monday there are
two days and not one. They pay no at
tention to local trains. because little or
no food is left in them owing to the
short rides the passengers take. Ex-
actly this same knowledge of the time
table and of the difference between To-
cal and long-distance trains has been
noticed at the station Of the Asiatic rail-
ways in Scutari. across the Bosphorus.

CHAPTER XIV.
NOT A DOUBLE WEDDING.


At 1880 on the night of the 10th, the
little chapel was brightly illuminated,
and number of neighboring planters,
with their wives, were seated and vait-
ing the arrival of the contracting par
ties to the two marriages that would
soon take place.
The first dozen seats in the chapel as
one entered the door were filled with d
number of the old family servants of the
Hills and of John Lloyd.
Uncle Job was there, and felt his i'm
portance much, for had he not belonged
to Squire Hills father before him, and
bad he not trotted on his knee, in their
childhood, all of his masters children {?
Dinah was there, rugged out in fur
bellows and ribbons, her round, black
face beaming with smiles, and aside

More than half the Tea consumed in the
United States and Canada is of japanese
growth, yet, the majority of Americans ap.
parently do not understand how to prepare
it so as to develop the delicious qualities
which it contains. The japanese Govern.
ment has appropriated large fund to aid
the Japanese Tea growers and Tea mer-
chants IN prosecuting this educational work
and it is hoped that American ladies will
be apt students. The main Bureau of the
Japanese Tea Guild has issued an official
recipe for making japanese Tea, the transla-
ton of which is as follows:
First.-Use small, dry and thoroughly
clean porcelain teapot
Second.-Put in one teaspoonful of tea
leaves for each cup of tea desired.
Third.-When using japanese teas, pour
on the required quantity of fresh boiled wa
ter, and let stand with closed lid from 2
to 3 minutes. Never boil the leaves. In
order to retain the natural flavor, Japanese
tea leaves should be kept in tight can or
jar, free from moisture.
Note.-To thoroughly enjoy the natural,
delicate and sweet flavor OF Japanese Teas,
neither sugar nor cream should be used.

At five o'clock Gordon and Tom, with
two officers. boarded the Sunshine. but
it was yet good half hour before she
cast on lines; she delayed as long as
could be done with safety in order to
give those who desired to attend the
weddings an opportunity to do so.
However, at $3.50 the little steamer got
under way. and it was expected that
she would easily reach Orion in two
hours, but by bad stroke of misfor-
tune, she broke the shaft of her pro-
peller when off Town Creek, and vet a
good nine miles from orion.
"The jig is up" said the captain.
here we lay all night, unless we send
boat back for tug to tow us back to
town, we're here for three or four
hours certainly. 1 am sorry, but you'll
all miss the double marriage, unless /

Captain exclaimed Tom, quickly.

why, yes, Tom, if you can struggle

True, you may get there in that way.
but you'll be worth looking at before
you get out of the swamp.
"Mate, send these four gentlemen
ashore, then take four good oarsmen
and pull back to town for a tug"
The lieutenant, Gordon and the off
GERS were soon struggling through the
swamp in the direction of HorrelPs,
and there we win leave them and return
to Orion.

IMMUNITY FROM SNAKE POISON.

Experiment. Animals Who Pro-
duce AntitOxic Serums.
The task of artificially rendering ami
mails immune from snake poison was
not an easy one, for the process depends
upon training the animals to gradually
Withstand larger and larger doses of
the venom, and considering the intense
~ toxic character of the substance
which had to be handled the danger
was ever present OF the animal succumb-
ing to venom poison before it's serum
had acquired the requisite pitch of pro-
tective power to render it Of service as
an antitoXin.
DIR. CalmeJte tells US that he carried
out very large number of experiments
before he met with success. But it is
not necessary here to discuss his vari-
GUS efforts, suffice it to say that at
length his labors were rewarded, and
the following extract from one of his
memoirs describes the methods which
he now adopts for the purpose:
THE best method of procedure for
the purpose of vaccinating large ami
mails destined to produce antivenom-
Gus serum consists in injecting them
from the outset with gradually in
creasing quantities OF the venom of the
cobra mixed with diminishing quanti-
ties of a one in sixty solution of hypo-
chlorite of lime. The condition and the
variations in the weights of the animal
are carefully followed, in order that the
injections may be made less frequent
" if the animals do not thrive well.
Quantities of stronger and stronger ven.
ON are in turn injected. first considera-
bly, diluted, and then more concen--
trated, and when the animals have al
ready acquired sufficiently perfect i'm
munity the venom derived from as large
a number of different species of snakes
as possible are injected. The duration
of the treatment is of considerable
length-at least Is months-before the
serum is sufficiently active to be used
for the purpose of treatment"
During the past three years an i'm
mense number of animals have been
vaccinated by this method of the Pas
teur institute at Lille, where DIR. Cal
mette is now director, and in n paper
published q few weeks ago we are told
that they have horses there which
have yielded for the past IS months
serum extremely active against venom.
These horses receive in single innocu-
latlon. without suffering the least in
convenience. doses of venom sufficient
to kill so horses fresh to the treatment.
