any dangerous consequence from it.
She says: Our three children took
whooping cough last summer, our baby

CHAPTTR III.

But when you are happiest, beware!
One pleasant autumn evening two
travellers arrived at the Star and Gar
ter One of them was young and
handsome, the other might have been
any age from 35 to so.
The younger Of the two was dark
and fiery-looking, but he had a fine
mouth and a musical voice. His name
was Richard Parker. He was London
born and bred. His hair was black as
night, and he wore a slight mustache.
He came swinging into the outer bar,
with its cups and jugs, and ale-warm-
ers, its bright polished floor, its wide
fireplace and its pretty screen, which
cut 1t off from the bar-parlor, other
wise the sanctum of Mary ana her
uncle, but more particularly the sane
tum of Mary the Maid OF the Inn,
where she kept her accounts, presided
over the cellar, and where she and her
uncle ate their meals and lived their
indoor life. He came swinging into
the outer bar-this young, dashing,
Corsican-like hero, in a light coat or
cloak with a cape (such as was worn
by our fathers at this picturesque pc
riod), corduroy breeches, an under coat
with tall collar, a steeple-shaped hat
with buckle on it, and he carried
ridipg-whip with a lash.
''Houser' he exclaimed. Where are
you all?"
I'VE are here-some OF u.s." said
Mary, advancing from the inner
bar-"who is it in such hurry?"
"a fair good evening to youl" said
Parker, doffing his hat.

Pound Foolishness.

One of the commonest forms OF
pound foolishness is countenanced by
many high authorities. This is the
purchase of certain household pro-
visions in large quantities. Few writ
ers on domestic topics fail to lay stress
upon the economy of buying groceries
in bulk. That sugar and -four, pota-
toes and apples should be bought by
the half or whole barrel, cereals by
the case, butter by the tub, and other
things in like proportion is one of the
early precepts in the Young House
keepers Complete Guide to Domestic
Economy" The ignorant young things
buy the provisions first and the ex-
perience afterward. The -four grows
musty, the cereals develop weavils,
the potatoes and apples rot long be-
fore they can be eaten, and the cook
exercises a lavishness in the use Of
the butter and sugar she would never
show were they bought in such lin
tied amounts that the housekeeper
could hold close watch over them.
Even after these events the young
mistress feels as If she were absolutely
reckless and no manager at all when
she so far departs from household law
as to buy food in small quantities.

Flowing of Metals.

It is, perhaps, not generally known
that one of the most important prop
critics of metals employed in striking
coins and medals, and stamping and
shaping articles of jewelry, is that of
flowing under pressure. Standard sill
yer is remarkable for this property,
which precisely resembles the flowing
of viscous fluid. The flow takes
place when the metal is subjected to
rolling, stamping or hammering, and
the particles of metal are thus carried
into the sunken parts OF the die with
out fracturing, and perfect impress
sion is produced.
