swept the country, but one night some
thing happened to make me realize
what sort of an animal he was. At mid
night of one of the coolest nights

trying for the fort was found in the
snow. He was frozen as stiff as

room under my directions, and if l

carefully they'd have snapped off his
arms and legs like pipestems. could

whisky about. l was sent for and for
a long time l was inclined to believe
that the soldiers had been playing off
some trick. They hadn't, though. 1t

out and brought him back to life. l

at least, but the surgeon couldn't find
that he had suffered the slightest in

as an eel, and after bit to eat and

CROMWELL'S MOTHER.
Fllfal Love Was the Most Beauti-
full Trait of the Great Pro-
tectOr's Nature.

The sympathy existing between this
mother and son is one of the most beau
tifuI traits in divers personal history.
They loved each other with passionate
affection that no time or change
lessened, and when he arrived at the
summit of his power, though she was
then upward of 80 years of age, he APP
pointed her royal apartments in White
hall, and visited her every day. Noble
quantity says: 'She occasionally yet
offered the protector advice, which he
always heard with great attention, but
acted as he judged proper It is pleas
ant to think that this fine old lady died
happily before her sons power began
to wane. 1t is pleasant to think of the
great protector kneeling to receive her
dying blessing, and of her last smiling
words to him and his children: "a
goodnight, dears!" There is yet a por-
trait of her at Hinchinbrooke, which
shows us a handsome woman, with q
face full of character, and a rather mel
ancholy expression. Her dress is that
of a gentlewoman of the time-a white
satin hood, pearl necklace, and neck
erchief edged with rich lace. The man
tie is of green satin edged with gold
lace, and fastened with jeweled clasp.

TO WASH SWISS MUSLIN.
When Properly Done 1t VIII Look

pOrtant Points.

A Swiss muslin dress should be care
fully washed "between the hands,
using any good soap, and scalded and
bleached on the grass if yellow. It
looks very well starched with thin
boiled starch. It must be sitter than
new muslin. 1t is easily ironed. If it
is a dotted muslin, iron it over flannel
and on the wrong side. Such dress
may be repeatedly done up and will look
''as well as new" every time until it is
worn out. We suspect the starch which
was used on the dress that became limp
as soon as it was ironed was not boiled
enough. Boil the starch for one hour
and add to half gallon of starch one
tablespoonful of kerosene oil. Strain
the starch, bluing it to the proper tint
when it is strained. Dip the dry mus
lin in the hot starch. Wiring it out and
dry it in a hot room as quickly as you
can. The rapidity with which starched
goods are dried is an important step in
the work. In frst-class laundry
starched goods of all kinds are dried in
heated room, where they hang but
few moments before they are thorough
ly dry. This rapid drying is one of the
secrets of the lasting quality of laundry
starching. The writer has never in
years of household experience found
any difficulty in keeping the starch in
Swiss muslin 'done up as described.
1t does not, however, keep stiff in the
dampness of sea air, or when it is damp
ened in any other way. It must be fire.

ed for his skill. Thorndyke was anxious for
in the habit of daily taking walk up the
gently sloping cap of the cliff, which sud
denly breaks away to the sea in an almost
sheer precipice, to get, if possible, glimpse
of his craft. Oftentimes on these occasions
Gertrude would be with him.
One day Ames asked him to give McCary
an overhauling for some papers taken by
his sister from Mrs. Badely's desk, which
were now missing. Accordingly, when next
he met the doctor, he asked him for the
papers. McCary had his gun with him, and
his gray eyes were bloodshot, betokening a
free use Of liquor He started, and the gun
slipped from his hand. If there were any
doubts before that he was the thief, they
were now dispelled. Before he could formu-
laid hold of him. With one hand he twist
ed him around, with the other drew from his
breast pocket mass Of papers, then with
finishing push thrust him backward. BY the
time the surly redcoat had gotten to his feet,
Donald had found what he wanted, and then
walked off with the gun over his shoulder
without even looking to see what might be
McCary's next move.

the cliff Gertrude was with him. He was
hundred feet in advance of her as he reached
the brow of the promontory. He gave a
shout as he sprang forward, for there,
stretching out for miles, vessel after vessel,
was the British fleet.
Then he heard behind him a piercing
shrek. Turning.he saw Gertrude throw her
self on the form of McCary, just as he sent
a bullet whizzing by his head. In moment
he tore himself from the girl and put off in
full flight, and Thorndyke after him. They
met on the verge of the cliff, from which by
a mighty effort the doctor was thrown head
long.
Then, turning, Donald hurried to where
the motionless form of Gertrude lay. His
passion broke against all restraint, and he
poured into her deaf ears the story of his
love, and kissed her white lips. Her eyes
opened slowly, and he knew she had not
been deaf to all he had said. She looked him
squarely in the eyes and said: Donald, have
you only courage while in the grip of muir
derous monster and-and over the body of
lifeless woman? My poor boy-my hero-oh,
my love.
On the morning of the 9Th of September
Mrs Thorndyke was too i'll to rise from
her bed John Phillipse, the doctor at
Edgartown, was called.

A West Indian Hurricane


Hon: William Workman, long state treas
urer of Texas, was in New York jewelry
store one day when he noticed showcase
filled with splendid jeweled revolvers, with
silver and gold grips and chased barrels, hav.
ing precious stones set into the butts.
"Lemme. see one of those guns" he said
to the clerk -
(Which one, sr?"
handle"
The clerk took it from the case. 1t was
marked $500, and it looked even worth
more. The Texan took it tenderly in both,
hands and held it admiringly up to the
light. Then drawing himself up to his full
height, which was six feet and half, he
rested the revolver upon his left elbow,
crooked for the purpose, and looked over
the sights down the long store. Those per.
sons who saw involuntarily lodged.
Say" said Mr. Workman, with quiet but
intense enthusiasm, as he returned the
weapon, If was to wear that gun down in
my state, the people would be falling down
on their knees begging to be killed with it!''
