The lovers arose and sauntered slow

deepening autumn twilight.
A few weeks afterward Towne re-
ceived pressing business call to the
south, so, bidding his little sweetheart
an affectionate farewell, he departed
for an indefinite stay.
Madam, have / the honor of adj
dressing Mrs. Gray?" asked hand
some young man of perhaps so years as
he alighted from his horse in front OF
a spacious, old-time southern residence.
You have, sir returned the pleas

Horace went in, threw off his mack

and prepared for supper and made
himself generally at home. He met his
stately hostess again at the supper
table.

though dare say you never met her,
as she is too busily engrossed with her
studies to do her duty by society,""
"Ah! What did l understand you to

quired the artful Horace, apparently
more out of courtesy to his hostess
than genuine interest.
Miss Dorothy Gray"

your accomplished daughter and l are
quite well acquainted. She happens to
board with my favorite cousin and we
occasionally met She has told us SO
much about her mother that l almost
feel acquainted with YOU
Mrs. Gray smiled pleasantly and
Horace saw that his villainy was be-
ginning to take effect. So he kept it
up, with variations. making himself as
pleasant and agreeable as possible,
ninding his own business and treating
eN erybody-even the negroes--with re-
srect, until Mrs. Gray declared that
even if he was Yankee, Mr.. Towne
was a perfect gentleman. But Horace
took care not TO hint of his relations
to Dorothy. He knew better. H., SUI
rerintended the building OF his mill
and attended to his own business
he knew that he held the future well
in hand
By and by Dorothy came home from
college 70 spend her vacation She and
Mr.. Towne were friends, of course, and
Mrs. Gray did not object TO their being
much together. They improved their
opportunity and when, by and by,
Dorothy told her mother that Horace
had proposed Mrs. Gray joined their
hands with her blessing and seemed
as happy as they.

lives on meat was ever known to lick
his wife or ask for divorce. Adam

had no hog meat. butter or black
bass. Napoleon lost Waterloo be-
cause the allied forces had bacon for
breakfast the morning of the fight.
The French had vegetable soup. The
South had to give in at Appomatix
because they were out Of meat! No
war can be successfully waged with
out hog meat. Americans are the
most frisky people on earth, because
they eat the most hog meat. Ingalls,

apples and blind robins. A vege-
table diet woman is as cold and clam.
my and ENJOYABLE as turuip. If you
wish to put roses in the cheeks Of
young girls, vitality in their every
motion and brains in their heads feed
them meat. If you want your boy to
get job and hold it, and go to the
front and amount to something, give
him bacon grease, ham fat or tallow
three times day. The world is full
of cranks who are always setting up
some new fad about hay soup and

First Alaskan Railroad.

The climate Of southern Alaska at
least is not too severe to admit Of the
building of railway in midwinter.
The contractors for the first railroad
In Alaska expect to have their line
ready to transport freight and pas
gengers by Jan. Is.
The road will be short one. The
first part Of it, from Dyea to Dyea
canyon, at the foot of Chilkoot pass,
will be only eight miles long on the
level. At the mouth of Dyea canyon
theIascent Of the pass begins. Here
the road will be, metamorphosed into
what is called an aerial tramway. 1t
will be divided into stages to suit the
the steep ascent. At intervals Of
every hundred feet across the pass
strong iron supports will be planted
firmly in the earth, and across these
will be strung the cables which sup
port the cars. From Dy ca canyon to
Sheep Camp. a distance of four miles,
the first aerial line will be stretched.
The average ascent here is $50 feet to
the mile. From Sheep Camp to Sum-
NIT 81 miles. is the second stage.
Thence down the other side from
Summit to Crater lake the third aer-
ial tramway will convey the miner
and his goods. The builders of the
road estimate the outfit for 200 min
ers at 120 tons weight, and they say
they can put this amount of goods
and passengers over their route in one
day. 1t will undoubtedly be the best
paying railroad in the world.
If now some equally enterprising
firm will quickly construct road
around the, dangerous part of the rap
ids OF the Yukon. the Chilkoot route
viii at once become the grand high
way to the Klondike.

FOR THE HoUSEkEEPERS.

When ink is spilled upon linen, try
dipping the damaged material in pure
melted tallow. The hot tallow seems
to absorb the ink, and, after washing,
the stain will be found to have .disap-
peared.
&. When the fingers are stained in peel
ing fruits, preparing green walnuts, or
in similar ways, dip them in strong tea,
rubbing them well with nail brush,
and afterward wash them in warm wa
ter and the stains will disappear.
To defend ones self from the dust
and cinders from the open car window
just in front of railway passenger,
take a newspaper, fold it in rough
plaits, and fasten it fanwise to the back
Of the forward seat. The newspaper re-
ceives the cinders, and the victim be-
hind is relieved.
The best pie plates are those of tin
with straight sides about an inch high,

toned pie plate of yellow stoneware is
