LangfOrd, the original of Lady Kew,
in Thackeray's "Newcomes:"
Lady Langeord had only once seen
her cousin, Lord Laagford, when he
came to visit her grandmother and the
next day the old lady told her she was
to marry him.
Very well, grandmamma, but
whenT'
Il never in my life heard such an i'm
pertinent question" said the grand
mother What business is it of yours
when you are to marry him? You will
marry him when l tell you. However,
whenever you hear me order six horses
to the carriage, you may know that you
are going to be married"

Once upon a time there was q great
king who employed his people to weave

Among many men and women busy
at their looms was one little child,
whom the king did not think too young
to work. Often alone at her work,
cheerfully and patiently she labored
One day when the men and women
were distressed at the sight Of their
failures-the silks were tangled and
the weaving unlike the pattern-they
gathered around the child and said:

Cork CGv0.

a dolls house can be completely fur
nished with cork furnitC-e for the
girls, and all the toy animals a bog
could wish for can be made for the
boys. All the materials needed to make
these toys are some corks. yarn, pins,
toOthpicks, pasteboard and a sharp
knife and matches. To make q chair
take a cork and stick FIVE pins around
the edge, pretty close together Now
fasten the yarn on the first pin, then
weave in and out, back and forth, until
you cover the pins to the top. Fasten
the yarn and you have made the back
Of your chair. To make the legs stick
four pins at equal distances from one
another, in the other end Of the cork.
Begin winding the yarn at the top of
the pins, and wind round and round
one pin at a time, till you reach the
head Of the pin, then over and over
back again, then cross over to the
next pin and do the same till all are
covered and your chair is made. A
sofa can be made in about the same
way by using a larger cork for the
seat. You can make tables by using
large fat corks, and putting pins in for
legs. Now for the boys: First make
a horse. because that is what the boys
like best. Take four matches for the
legs, and sharpen them SO that they
will go into the cork. Then cut the
head out Of pasteboard and dot Of ink
will do for eyes. Make the hair with
pen and ink, then cut a slit in one end
Of the cork and stick this in. Make a
tail out Of some wOrsted and cut a hole
in the back Of the cork, placing this in
it. You can make bird by using a
cork for the body, matches for the neck
and legs, and split a cork In two for a
standard. Cut the head out Of paste
board and stick chicken feathers In 1t
and in the body.

Three Thousand Tons of Bullion,

Under the above caption the Vir-
glnia Chronicle gives a detailed re-
port Of the record of the gold and ell
YER product Of the Consolidated Cal
ifornia and Virginia mines in lesa
than twenty years; S13Oyb69.734 SO in
value have been taken from the
mines and SIT, 100000 have been paid
in dividends.
This yield in. that brief perod is
unequalled in ancient or modern
mining records.
The Ell Gallo of Peru and several
mining properties in Old Mexico are
credited with a greater total bullion
yield, the extraction of which re.
quired centuries. but the statement
of the output Of the latter properties
has been greatly exaggerated and no
reliable record Of their total product
Is obtainable.
The statement Of the yield of the
Consolidated Virginia and California
mines from the discovery Of the bo-
nanza in 1874 up to 1884 and the pro.
duct OF those properties after theil
consolidation in 1885, is taken from
the official records and is therefore
perfectly reliable.
