" h That is the way Grandma Jarvis vented some of lier views as to Mabel Lee's approaching marriage. ; "Ograndhia! replied Mabel I can make splendid cake, and ioe-putiding, too, and Charlottes, just as god as Cross." , t4Fiddle-stick!

There isn't tyrned f; one m a hundred can do either, and I doubt if von've got brains to; but; you iniight try." - j - ' There rose up instantly a mighty re solve in Mabel's feminine soul toj jshow Grandma Jarvis that she could do' more than she gave her credit for ; f$aJt she would learn to cook in. spite of this discouraging prophecy. It Is just pos sible grandma knew who she was! talk ing to. - : 1 1;: "Then, as to the promise. I'm going to send youjover a motto one of rthose painted gimcracks everybotly hangs up everywhere.

"Grandma kisses me just like a fclam shelV? said 3Iabel, in half-solilo4iy as she sat down again by the wiidow. Her mother could not help- laughing for;the cool nip of thin lips, thai was grandma's substitute for a kiss J cer tainly did suggest shells and clamfness. John came directly back with the pack age, and Mabel eagerly untied arici un folded it. i The motto was printed in large German text; easy to read though gay with gold and colors, and i ran thus: ' - ' :."

I never saw him myself Mab; he never knew he had aj daughter." j. : ."Mother !" 1 1' j - T ' t :. ' Mrs. Lees lovely dark eyes filled with tears as she drew Mabel down be side her on the sofa. "I have been told that grandma was a very beautiful, high-spirited girl at your age,? deaf, animated, brilliant, thoroughly satisfied with herself and her surroundings, especially when Jon athan Jarvis fell in love with her. Her father died when slie was three years old, and her, invalid mother adored the child, and spoiled her even more than I do you." . Mabel kissed the soft hand lard on her shoulder, and gave it a wilful little bite. jl ' "Don't be -horrid,!'; mamma, or I shall eat you right up. ; As if I was one bit spoiled!" i i "If you were not niy child you would not need grandma's lesson. She was spoiled, as I said,; and Jonathan Jarvis knew it, but he M as bewitched by her spirit and beauty, and thought, as men are apt to think, that he could control and cure all that. She loved him, too, very deeply, after her fashijm, and there was nothing to delay their mar riage; but the day was scarcely fixed when her mother suddenly sank and died. Grandmother did not mourn so hopelessly that: it jwas thought best to put off her marriage, though out of re spect to her mother's memory, there was no wedding party, and the 'happy pair' began their life at once in the old homestead where grandma lives to-day. "The outlook before those two was very fair ; youth, j health, competency, what seemed to be devoted love, made them an apparently enviable couple, but no. sooner were these unbroken wills brought into daily contact than trmible-began: "Y0u may laugh, Mabel, but their first dispute was about a coffee-pot. Mother preferred the old-fashioned urn her hnsband the newer style of pitcher. Neither would yield in a mere matter of taste, and this was the beginning of evil.- : "Silly? Yes, it looks wonderfully silly to us; butjl think I heard a very w arm discussion only yesterday on the proper style of riding-hats for a lady." Mabel colored to the waves of her dark hair and tried to smile. "They came to a compromise on this, matter, agreeing, to drink chocolate in place of coffee ;j but other small dis putes followed f they all burnt in on grandma's mind, but I forget most of them; so slight and trivial were the mat ters of discussion, though they grew to active means of torment. "A child was born, and Jonathan, in his sad - and sore heart, thought that would bring peace, ! and his indignant and grieved wife hoped it also, for each blamed the othfer, as combatants will but. the baby's, eyes; never saw their strife, it died, and the hope died with it. Little frets; are iwhat wear away love and life Mabel.! My poor father! and niy poor mother! There was no kintily friend to say a judicious word to either.' They showed a smiling front to the world outside, but grew more alienatedtdaily. j j "There was no real quarrel, no vital disagreement, 'but' the hourly fret of undisciplined tempers, impatient na tures, strong wills and a self consider ation that fofbadejyielding, that , cher ished pride andjpetulance, that recog nized no duty except as owed to itself. "The end of these things hastened. Before the nameless baby had slept in its green grave a year father had set out for Brazil in a merchant vessel, leaving this short kdieu to his wife. You can sajf I have gone South on business,! Mehetable, but yon must know I shall never come back. I am tired of living in torment, and you will be glad to part with one who could never please you. So farewell. Yours at command. -jf- Jonathan Jarvis. "Mother was frantically angry at first. She raved in her own chamber over what she termed a mortal insult, j but as day after day came on, and her loneliness and weakness grew over her she began to see things more honestly ; and when news came that the ship had foundered at sea; jand all hands per ished, then she ;was entirely prostrated. As she told me her past life rose up, looked her in thes' face, and Struck her down. i I was born after my father's depar ture, and a. very long illness carried her to the gates of the grave. She re covered at last,) a I stern and saddened woma.ii, with only one interest in her life; but she brought me up with strict ness and care, tenderly as she loved me ; and.. when I was about to take my life up for myself, told me this bitter story, and gave me this ring.; a , V "If I had killed the little foxes,' said she, sadly, I might to-day have a goodly Vineyard of my own. Beware of them Hetty. ' They have spoiled my life.' --'i ; i ' , 'And after all, Mabel, my father was not lost on the wreck. lie was picked up by another vessel, and, under an as sumed name, lived on in Brazil. In the grasp of mortal illness, he wrote to his wife, asking and" giving pardon. It was from him that all her wealth came, but she has never forgiven tierself." "Poor grandma!" sobbed Mabel, "and I have been so horribly hateful to her!" i "It 'will console her for all your freaks, my. darling, if you profit by her pitiful story." The next time Grandma Jarvis came over Mable greeted her withia stringent hug and a heartfelt kiss, not; at all of the clamshell order. "Gracious! exclaimed the . old lady withdrawing herself a little to look at Mable ; but she saw the brown eyes fill, and her own grew dim. "Go along1, child, go along!" she growled under her breath." ."And now you've got your lesson, don't forget it." It would have been hard for Mabel to do so, when the exquisitely-wrought tea-set that adorned her table through all her married life bore on every cover the sly and eager head of a j tiny fox, and the very cream pitcher had for its handle the slender form of that treach erous animal, its eager head peering over the brim, and its long,. nishy tail curving outward at the bae. Many and many a time, when sorfie trifling matter irritated her, and a j quick or stinging word rose to her lips, a glance at the tea-set shut her pretty mouth closely just in time; and when Grand ma Jarvis came into Boston a year after "Mabel's marriage, to eat her Christ mas dinner at Mr Selden's she nodded quaintly at the lady of the house as she said : "I congratulate you now Me hetable, I can do it with a clear con science; 'It's been a good i tinting year I see." ! ' . " ! Mable colored and laughed and her husband stared, but nobody jexplained the sybillic utterance, only Mrs. Lee gave her mother a loving and grateful look, and Grandma Jarvis wiped her spectacles. " ; And the moral is- -let us all go fox hunting. Wlltl Turkeys. In the expressive language of the Indians, the month of September is known as the moon of turkevs. Early in September the males collect together by themselves, and the hens imd young ones in another flock, and continue so for some time; all the while, however, moving about in search of jfood. In their travels they often reach the banks of considerable rivers, where they all join in company, crossing a; river is to them an undertaking of seriojus magni tude. They first betake themselves to the nearest eminence, and there often remain a whole day, or sometimes two, as if for consultation. During this time the males are heard "gobbling," calling, and making much ado, and are seen strutting about as if to Vaise their courage to a pitch befitting jthe emer gency aline of conduct iniitated by the female and young. At length, when the weather appears to be settled and all around is quiet, the wjhole party mounts to the tops of the highest trees, whence, at a signal, consisting of a sin gle cluck, given by a leader . the flock takes flight foi- the opposite shore. The old and fat birds easily get ver, even should the rver be a mile in breadth; but the younger and less robust 'fre quently fall into the water-f-not to be drowned, however, as might be imag ined. They bring their wings close to their body, stretch out theijr tail as a support, stretch forward tlpir neck, and, striking out their legs with great vigor, proceed rapidly to(ward the shore ; on approaching whicjli, should they find It too steep for Jancling, they cease their exertions for a fewj'moments, float down the river until they come to an accessible part, and bya violent effort generally extricate themselves from the water. The tame tjurkey is a direct decendant from the wild, and there Is little difference in the qual ity of the fleshy !. . mm , ; , ,: r Pearl Oysters. , Ordinarily the distinctive pearl oyster resembles the commoif sort but i3 usually about three inches jin diame- ter; the peans are most generally con tained ln the shell, but sometimes they are found r in the ..thickest and most fleshy part of the creature. A single oyster will frequently contain several of these beautiful objects, and it is on record that one has been known to con tain as many as 150. On our American coast the species producing the pearl has long been found in the Gulf of Cal ifornia, adjoining both American and Mexican territory. These pearls are nf p-x-eellent water, or lucldness. but generally irregular In form A Danish Tomb. The Copenhagen correspondent of the Pall Matt Gazette, says : "A most Inter esting discovery of antiquarian remains has just been made close to the town of Storeheddinge in Zealand. About nine feet below the surface of the earth a tumulus was discovered, surrounded as usual with,flfteen large stones raised on end and covered with other large stones, which when removed discloses the in terior of "the tomb, which was about sixteen feet long and three feet wide. On the bottom was laid a broad piece of oaken plank, on which were found the remains of a woman, evidently buried in her clothes, the face turned toward the east, the left arm crossed over her chest and the right arm stretched out by the side of the body,! A large num ber of vessels of various kinds were placed around the head, the most re markable being a cup of blue glass, surrounded by a richly chased silver rim representing the leaves of the vine, having an inscription in Greek charac ters, which translated means "Fare well." Xext rnay be mentioned another cup of red-colored glass, aid a large vase of green glass, besides many pieces of other cups which had been crushed by one of the' stones having fallen in. In the blue cup the ribs, and in the red cup other boiies, of different kinds of fishes was discovered; To the right of the head lay a gold coin which had evidently been used as an ear-rinsr, dating from the reign of the Koman Emperor Probus, whose short reign lasted from about the year 276 to 282. The tomb consequently cannot date further back than from A. D. 276. A large and beautifully embossed ring of gold enclosed the neck, and close to the right shoulder lay a thick golden pin, probably used to hold the upper gar ment together. On two fingers of the right hand were two massive rings of gold, the one spiral-formed, the other plain, while close to the reast one large and; several smaller buckles of silver were" discovered.!; A collection of bones of yarious animals lay close to the feet of he body, as well as a wooden basin ornamented with; bronze handles, containing forty-two dice turned from bone, and apparently lised for play. In a large Roman basin of bronze, which stood at the extreme end of the tomb, the bones of a small pig were found, other bones of the same animal being discovered in the surrounding earth, as well as the remains of human beings, possibly bones of slaves who had been sacrificed at the funeral. The discov ery is here being' looked upon as being of the very highest antiquarian impor tance, while it adds another proof of the relations which so early existed be tween the north and the south, which were mostly carried on through the present Russian provinces, and which, finally, in the eighth or ninth century, culminated in the creation of a special body-guard of the emperor in Constan tinople, consisting of the so-called "Varangians" an institution which lasted nearly to the final overthrow of the Byzantine Empire by the Turks. The Government is going to institute further researches round the tomb, as many signs seem to indicate that this place in olden times has been a kind of regal burial place." i A Romance of Fort George Island. The young owner of the island, culti vated hundreds of acres and raising enormous crops of .cotton and sugar, used to build schooners in a ship-yard of his own, and imported slaves directly from the African coast, selling to his neighbors such as he did not want. He was unmarried. Perhaps no one of the daughters of the neighboring planters could be persuaded to share the lonely life which could hardly have appeared attractive in any woman's eyes; per haps he preferred a life of freedom and independence. However that may have been, he was in the habit of going oc casionally to Africa I himself, and of buying his slaves from the native chiefs, who disposed in this way of their prisoners Of war. , During one of these. visits, while en gaged in ; bargaining, he was struck with the grace and beauty of the chiefs young daughter, a child of ten years old. He proposed to buy her, but she was a favorite child! and her father could not part with her,' Persuasions were for a time unavailing,,. but at last the savage father!, unable to resist the glitter of the white man's gold, agreed to part with his child on condi tion that she should jibe treated with consideration and brought up as be comes a king's daughter. The planter promised, and, strange to say, he kept his word. She was kindly cared for and well educated, and in course of time became the planter's lawful wife. She had, according to tradition, with the exception of a dark skin, none of the usual negro characteristics. Her handsome- features were regular, her hair smooth, her presence dignified and commanding. Her : husband seems never to have regretted his unusual course, and her influence over her cap tive countrymen was unbounded. In addition to her position and superior intelligence was the consideration j of her native rank, which to them at least was a source of unquestioned right. The establishment was kept in almost princely style. The sons were sent to England to be educated ; for the daugh ters French and, English governesses were procured, and established in sepa rate houses near the mansion; white artisans of various kinds were con stantly employed, making quite a large community aside from the hundreds of slaves upon the island. And over all this, in her husband's long and frequent absences, reigned our dusky princess, as absolute in her insular domain as her savage father in his native wilds. She had a strong and powerful mind, and womanly kindness and sympathy as well. One old gegro, who died some time since, so old that no one could re member him as other than old, used to tell how he was brought over when young to this island, where he had lived 'ever since, and how he and others, sick and exhausted, were ministered to by the "missis"' own hands, and how they all loved her and always prayed, "Lord bless Ma'am Hannah!" Every morning as she stood upon this very spot, the field hands passed in review before her, each gang -with its driver, going to their daily work. She in spected them all, picking out such as were unfit for labor and sending them to the hospital or to lighter tasks; and every pight in the same spot she heard a report of the day, examined into all complaints, and with strictjustice ad judged each offender's punishment ; and without her order not a lash could be given.: Scribner. ' ) The Utility of Odors. That odorous spices are disinfectant and antiseptic, and that they are used by the Egyptians inmummyfying their dead, and thus preserving these useless semblances of human kind for thous ands of years after they should have re turned into dust, is well known to those who have considered the utility of such things. The cologne water sprinkled in the sick-rom by the kindly nurse not only fresliqns the languished in valid, but really destroys disease germs and preserves the health of watchful friends. The cook does exactly right when in warm iweather she peppers the beefsteak in order to preserve it for the next meal. It Is said that the pestilen tial vapors are of an alkaline character, and combine with the acids and the products of slow combustion ; so that the reverened gentleman who, at a revi val meeting, when the atmosphere was foul, called ' upon some kind sister to burn a rag, acted intelligently and upon true scientific, principles. The burning of brown paper, of apple parings, and of coffe in sick rooms, not only disgui ses, but to some extent, at least, de stroys the poisonous emanations from the patient. Were it not hereby I might almost be tempted to quote simi lias similibus, etc. As one ocean wave destroys another, as one wave of elec-. trie light, if properly directed, by inter ference extinguishes another, so one odor may so interfere with and alter the character of a similar one that the sense of smell does not perceive it, or else is offended by it. Xearly all the pastilles for fumigating sick rooms contain ben zoin, and when this is burned, benzoic acid is formed or set free, and this acid in its free or newly formed state, unites readily, acording to the laws of chemis try, with just such products as are found in sick rooms, so that the poison is not merely rendered scentless, but under goes an actual chemical tran formation in which' its toxic principles are re moved. , First Inhabitant ot England. - . Nothing in the earliest historical records of Britain throws any light upon the original occupation of the British islands by man ; indeed j nothing tells us that Britain when so occupied was an island at all. The straits of Dover may have existed when the first human being set foot upon what Is now the soil of; Kent, or an isthmus may have existed in stead. Whether. then it was by land,' or whether it was by water, that 'the I population of Europe propagated I itself into England, is far beyond the evidence of any historical memorial far beyond the evidence of tradition. Nothing at present indicates the nature of the primary migration of our earliest ancestors. Neither does any historical record tell us whatinanner of men first established themselves along the valleys of the Thames and Trent, or cleared the forests along their water sheds. They may have been as much ruder than the rudest of the tribes seen bjr Tauliuus and Agricola, as those tribes were ruder than ourselves. They may, on the other hand, have enjoyed a higher civilization a civilization which Caesar saw in Its latestages only; one which Gallic wars and other evil Influ ences may have lmpared.
