The cruelty Of this speech struck him

challenged her with his eye. Her SUI

distressing to her to encounter him
again at that juncture. His lip curled
at such distress.
She read his thoughts to the letter.
"You think have not suffered!' she
cried in q low voice. "You little know,

He thought he had seen everything
He had not, but he was beginning te

In the dead silence following these

the table he had set so beautifully fol-

of her sex and kind In that colony and
at that time. The Irishwoinen were
almost invariably the best of de-
plorable lot, and Peggy was certainly
not the worst OF the Irishwomen. But
there was evil in her, and passion was
to bring 1t out, as It had already
brought out the good A callous man
she could bear with and wait for 30
long as he was callous and cold to all.
But to see and hear him signing for
another woman-and that other woman
there on the spot-was to lash q pa
tient and single hearted devotion into
tumults of jealousy and bitter rage.
The thing CALLED her. while 1t was
still suspicion. 1t maddened her
when she knew 1t for fact. And
that was when, In the same half min
ute. she met Claire on the stairs In
tears and saw Tom In his pantry with
his head clasped tight between his
hands. Peggy stole away without q
word, and there was mischief In every
noiselesS step she took.
Her first thought was to tell Dam
tree. IT she dismissed on consideration
and tried making friends with the la
dies maid In order to acquire informa-
ton. This young woman, however,
could only talk of the fourth officer
aboard the Rosamund, and 1t took Peg
gy half an hour to discover that she
had never even seen Miss Harding be-
fore the voyage. So she knew moth
Ing. and half the morning was gone,
but Peggy was all the more determined
to learn everything before the visitors
left.
The masters departure on horse
back at last inspired the way. Tom
in the pantry was still listening to the
gathering hoofs when Peggy opened
the door.
"Oh. Tom, the masther would like We
to clane out the boat for IN when ye

Ibid he say So. Peggy
"Surc, he tould me not to tell ye, wild

GLASS TOYS.

Glass toys are the latest for babies.
They are intended to replace the dear
old painted articles that baby would
put into his mouth and consequently
run serious danger of leading poison
ing. But to the onlooker it would
seem as though death by glass were
little preferable to death from paint,
and that baby is quite as likely to
endanger his life through breakage
of his toy as he is by sucking it.
Broadly this is true, but the glass
of which playthings are made is so
heavy that it takes a regular Sandow
of a young one to hold them. The
OBJECT of thickness is, of course, to
lessen the danger of breakage, but
even the strongest can chip at the
edge. and a splinter is capable of do
ing a great deal of damage.
AS a matter of fact, only the ba-
bies of the rich are likely to be pro-
tected in this doubtful fashion, for
the toys made of glass are by no
means inexpensive. The healthy
youngsters of ordinary families Will
have to thrive upon wood ind paint
as did their forbears.-New York
Telegram.

FOOD AND CLEAN HANDS.

''Clean food means clean hands,
says Mrs. Ellen H. Richards in the
Federation Bulletin. and the clean
hands she finds so rarely that she con-
siders it necessary to speak plainly
and not be squeamish.' All intelli-
gent women, she says, Should turn
their attention to the habits of hand
ling food materials in all places
markets, shops, delivery wagons and
kitchens" Mrs. Richards says that
nine-tenths of human illness is due
to improper food and that six-tenths
of the nine, or more than one-half
of the whole, is due to unclean food.
In the light of modern science, she
says, the burden of cleaning laid on
housewives is such that the cleansing
of the Augean stables by Hercules
was ehild's play.

The ingenuity Of Inventors,

The ingenuity of inventors and
manufacturers is ever at work in the
endeavor to reduce the expense of
production. and at the same time to
improve the quality of articles having
large sale. This has been so in the
case of farm machinery, clothing,
shoes, bicycles, ETC., and now 1t is ap-
parent in the safety razor field. Thou
sands of this style of razor have been
sold at from $3.50 to IS each and CIV
en- satisfaction. Recently manufac-
turers have applied more scientific
principles and improved methods in
their manufacture, and the result is
seen in the "Shrp Shavr" razor, which
is sent postpaid for twenty-five cents
in stamps by the Book Publishing
House, 134 Leonard street, New
York. 1t is superior to any razor
sold, being bought largely by those
already owning the highest priced
razors. Not every one knows that
the best results are obtained by hay
ing two or three razors and alternat-
ing them in use. This practice of al
ternating possibly accounts for the
very large sale Of this low priced i'm
plement is having in every section and
among all classes of people.

Built House with one Hand.

William George Collins, who after
serving for over forty years as post
man for the district of Snodland,
near Rochester, England, retired,
having reached the age limit of sixty,
has performed a remarkable feat in
his spare time. Ten years ago he
bought piece of land at Snodland,
and with his left hand, for he lost his
right arm when boy, he built a six
room house, taking ten years to com
plete it. The fittings and decorations
of the interior he also made himself.
In addition to this, he also has small
farm.
Mr.. Collins estimates he has
walked close upon 100000 miles in
the performance of his duties. Al
though he is sixty, he shows little
signs of wear and tear, and he is as
healthy and robust as ever.
Mr. Collins first carried the mails
between Rochester and Snodland on
March IL, 1868. Sin those days, =
says the veteran postman, things
were very different in the G.. P. o.
/ walked on an average Of twenty
miles a day, there were no holidays,
and if wanted a Sunday off had to
pay somebody (approved by the post

a gray coat with red stripes and an

The Governing Will.

But nowhere is the restraint and
direction of the will SO needful as
when the mind is thinking. Thoughts
pour into the mind from every direc-
ton, and the faster the weaker we
happen to be. Let man be pros
trated by fever and he finds it hard
to keep his thoughts from running
to the ends of the earth, until he
may actually wander" in delirium.
In ordinary life desultory thoughts
are not only of no use, but may be as
injurious as they are worthless.
When, as in worry, they are Of
disturbing nature, they may jar the
mental machine till it wears out by
its own friction. The paramount
need, therefore, is for some great
steadying governor, as that part of
steam-engine is we'll named; or, in
other words, we need will too
strong to be diverted by any thoughts
from its purpose. Any one who
thinks, speaks and acts only accord
ing to purpose, is giant among
scatterbrains, because it is the will
only that achieves. We are ever
meeting men with brilliant mental
gifts who are sad failures merely be-
cause they lack tenacity of purpose,
which means lack of will-power. To
exert influence over his fellows,
man must have a constant inner
power OF self-control, while he who
goes about "half-cocked" shoots and
brings down himself oftener than
any one else.-Dr. William Hanna
Thomson, in Everybody's.

skirtings. 1t can be made with or
without the tiounce, as more or less
flare is desired at the lower edge, and
it can be made with or without the
yoke, so that it provides for number
of styles. In the illustration nainsook
is trimmed with embroidery, but the
petticoat with the dust ruffle only
will be found very satisfactory for
wear beneath many of the new gowns,
this dust ruffle being of the material
or of the embroidery, as liked. For
dresses of the thinner sort, however,
the flounce is apt to be necessary.
The petticoat is made in seven
cores The dust ruffie is Joined to
the lower edge, the flounce is finished
with the ruffle and the two are ar
ranged over the petticoat.

banding can be used, and for the yoke
lace, tucked net, fancy net and plain
net all are appropriate.
The waist is made with a fitted
lining and on this lining Is arranged
the yoke and the tucked front and the
backs. The sleeves also are made
with foundations and these founda-
tions are faced to form the deep cuffs
when the full length is used.
The quantity of material required
for the medium size is three yards
twenty-four, one and three-fourth
yards thirty-two, or one and one-half
yards forty-four inches wide, with
five-eighth yard of all-oyer lace for
the yoke, two yards of velvet ribbon,
or one yard of all-over lace when the
long sleeves are used

CHEERFUL WALL PAPERS.

If you can possibly manage it, have
the walls of your bedroom papered
or distempered in light shade. Dark
papers make dismal people, and there
are few things more depressing than
to wake up each morning in a dark or
dingy looking room.
If you can't afford the expense OF
papering, try distempering the walls
yourself. 1t is quite easy work, and
distemper is very cheap indeed.
When doing a room in which the
paper has been up for some time l
wash the walls down with disinfec.
tant before distempering. Carbolic
crystals are the cheapest disinfectant,
and if you tell him what it is for the
chemist will give you directions as to
how much to use in bucket of water.

Newest Paris Sleeves.

The vexed question as to the cor
rect sleeve length has been answered
by one French modiste with no UNI
certain voice. Sleeves are to be
long, SO long that not only are the
elbows covered, and exc the wrists,
but the points must fall right over
the knuckles, and in some instances
there are actually concealed thumb
holes in the cuffs, through which the
thumbs may be passed in order thai
they may help to keep the sleeves
down to their fullest extent

And woods and fields are sweet again

So quick with love and life her frame
Ten thousand years have dawned and fed,
And still her magic is the same.

So ready for new hope and Joy;
