NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

Richard Hotaling was in the depths
Of perplexity as to his status in .he

srly speaking, very uncertain, young
woman whom he much adored. He
had been so deeply In love for more
than year that he had had eyes,

10 skillfully had lie been managed
whether consciously to herself or not,
be knew noD, that no word OF his
,ould have been construed to give evil
ience Of more than a friendly feeling.
There were others in his predica-
ment, and misery always loves COM
pany. At the same time he felt there
must be and end to all things, and
had resolved to bring matters to state
of certainty without further delay,
knowing full we'll tina. h. had made a
similar decision sco-s of times be-
lore. She had way ef turning the
conversation at most interesting stages
without giving offense and with show
of tact worthy weightier cause. He

be was on the eve OF making full
avowal. and thought her particularly
sympathetic, when a turn Of her head

would throw him back into the old
state OF detection and he would leave
with the words unsaid. Again. inter-
ruptions had come when he was at the
point OF growing serious, and there had
been much in the way OF declaring his
love.
She must have read It In his eyes. In
his every act. yet there were several
other fellows who wore their hearts
on their sleeves in a much more amaz-
Ing manner than did he. and who were
treated with the same calm impair
,iality.
There was Hilton. member Of every

poems. No man feared him as n rival,
however. for he made his love as COM
mon as postage stamps by talking of
her to everyone he knew. Moreover,
he was the kind of fellow to make a hit
with old ladies' at afternoon teas. and
the men not only considered him more
Of an ass than any one of their ac-
quaintances. but actually guyed him to
his face. Among themselves they jest
lngly accused him Of imperfect cerebra-
tion. But in spite OF these facts, and
that he enjoyed u fair share of Miss

Bondsmen fer OmclaIs,

The postofiice department now re-
quires its bonded officers to furnish
bends from security or Insurance com
panies instead of individuals. The
bond of any such company will be ac-
cepted after 1t has submitted Its books
and Investments To an examination by
agents of the attorney generals office
and received his sanction, and there
are now five on the list. A sixth com
pany will probably be added in n few
days. Such bonds are preferred to in
dividual securities because they are
always paid without question. Any
security company refusing to make
good loss or dcfalcation on the part
OF an official whose honesty 1t has in
sured is crossed OF the list, its other
bonds are Cancelled ana II can do no
more business with the government;
and n boycott by the government Is

mcnts.

Dormer's favor. they liked him be-
cause he was kindly-natured and alto
gether harmless.
As Hotaling chewed the end OF his
pen. he meditated upon these things:
particularly Hilton's ten thousand n
year, and wondered II the latter con-
sideration would weigh with Miss Dor
mer. He believed II would not, and
wrote her note accordingly. He asked
for an engagement during the week.
adding that he had under considera-
tion an offer TO 20 abroad as foreign
correspondent for a daily paper. and
that In case OF accepting he would sail
the next Saturday. He would leave II
for her TO decide whether he should
go or stay. 1t was his last resource.
and he felt that It would bring things
to a crisis. II she refused him. he
could go away-and forget. II she
but the other possibility plunged him
into such u delirium OF delightful
dreams that he destroyed the missive
and resolved he would see her that
evening and set his mind at rest.
There is a popular fallacy that van

eiusiyeiy. Many hold that the soul OF
man is above such petty considerations
as dress and personal adornment. Go

As Mr.. Richard Hotaling carefully ac-
sompllshed his toilet that evening,

A FEW HomELy WORDS.
prosaie and Practical Hints for Al
Hama xIxaa

prosaio and Practical Hlnts for All
Housewives.
Give the caller who comes a long dis
tance to see you cup OF good tea
with something to go with 1t, and you
will be long remembered as an exam
pie Of hospitality. A quart Of oysters
contains. on the average. about the
same quantity Of nutritive substance
as quart of milk or pound Of very
lean beef.
The twelve days after Christmas are
supposed to Indicate the weather for
the year. Each day in order shows the
weather for one month.
An excellent cement for leather is
made by dissolving small bits of pure
gutta percha in chloroform. 1t should
be Of the consistency Of honey, and
kept In bottle to prevent evaporation.
Small patches may be placed on boots
and shoes to give good satisfaction,
and II neatly done will not show at all.
1t will remain permanent unless held
too close to Are.
To keep lemons fresh put them in
cold water and change the water every
day.
II the bath tub Is not in such bad
condition that 1t needs to be re-enamel-
ed, 1t can be cleaned by the use OF
powdered whiting, mixed to a paste
with water. This should be allowed to
remain on for an hour or more, and
then washed of with plenty OF hot
water. To re-enamel bath tub. re-
move as much of the old paint as pos
sible, then sand-paper 1t till 1t is quite
smooth, when it will be ready for
painting. Use the proper bath enamel
and apply 1t thinly. Three coats will
be needed to make the result really sat
isfactory.
Lamp burners, to give good light
should be cleaned once n month. To
clean them, take a piece OF soda the
size of walnut for every quart OF soft
water that you use; place the lamp
burner in the water, and let 1t boil for
five minutes. Then remove the burn
ers, dry thoroughly, replace, and then
the lamp will give as good light as
ever 1t did. An old tomato or apple
tin makes capital pan in which to dc
the boiling.

ARcHDUKE AT PoSToFFISE.
Lordiy Onciais Compelled to Exhibit
Courtesy to n Peasant.

Lordly Omciais Compelled to Exhibit
Courtesy to n Peasant.
From the London Daily News: An
Trieste. A peasant presented parcel
for dispatch to an official in the CEN
trail postoffice of that town, and was
roughly told 1t could not be received,
as 1t was improperly done up. The
peasant inquired how 1t ought to be
done up. and the official sharply re-
piled that It was not his business to
tell him. Here a gentleman inter
vened on the peasants behalf. but was
told by the official that II he had any
4 fault to find he had better complain
to the superintendent. The gentleman
did so. but was told that postal off,
cials could not be expected to teach
the public, and that If he was not sat
isned he had better complain to the
director. The gentleman hereupon
pulled out card and said: Il have
no time to go to the director. l re-
quest you to go to him yourself and
tell him that | order him to come here
instantly and himself instruct this
man how to make up this parcel
The superintendent looked at the card
and trembled when he read the name
Of the archduke Louis Salvador. The
director lost no time In coming. He
stormed at the superintendent. who in
turn stormed at the oficial. and all
three nearly fell over each other in
their zeal to show the peasant how to
do up his parcel A more carefully
made up package probably never
passed through the Austrian postofiice.
The incident. however. has excited
n grave question. All the newspapers
approve OF the archduke's interven-
ton. but some pertinently ask whether
he had any right to order" the d.
rector to do anything. The champions
OF the constitution are exercised. but
after all the important thing is that
the peasant got his parcel on.
