'Oh, what a hand.soiue man!" cried
Mrs. Hunter; "and stieh a charming
vforelgn accent, too :"
Mrs. Hunter was a widow rich.
childless, fair and thirty-five and she
made' the remark above recorded to" Mr.
Banting, bachelor, who had come to
pay an afternoon call, apropos of the
uepartnre of Prof. La Fontaine, iwho
had, according to etiquette, taken
his departure on the arrival of Mr.
Bunting.
'Don't like to contradict a lady,"
said Mr. Bunting. '"But I can't say I
agree with you ; and these foreigners
are generally impostors, too."
Mrs. Hunter shook her head coquct-tlshlv.
She was rather coquettish ami rather
gushing for her age.
"Ob, you gentlemen! you gentle
men' she said;'I can't tee that yoa
ever do Instice to each other."
A And then she rang the hell aiid or
dered, the servants to bring teaj and
pressed batchelor Banting to stay to
partake. of it. '
There was . rDjU(leaaJUQJLof' f.itrTtv
. In the"liouse, "to play propriety, and
allow her the privilege of having as
many bachelors to tea as she choose,
and Mr. Bunting forgot his jealousy,
and was once more happy.
He was, truth to tell, very much in
love with the widow, who was his
Junior by fifteen years.1
He liked ihe idea ofher living on the
interest of her money, too.
She was a splendid housekeeper and
a line pianist.
She was popular and good-looking.
He intended to offer himself for her
- acceptance as soon as he felt sure that
she would not refuse him.
But this dreadful Professor La Fon
tilne, with black eyes as big as saucers,
and lonz side-whiskers black also as
rnny raven' wing, had the advantage
of being the 'v i low's junior.

his sky was overcast.

And that very evening Mr. Buntng
trotted up to the widow's house, full of
a deadly purpose, and with a set speech
.learned off by heart.
. - The speech he forgot as be crossed
-the threshold. '
The purpose abided with him.
v There were the uBual remarks about
the weather. 1 ' "
The usual chitchat followed, but the
wldo saw that Mr. Bunting was not

At last; with the sort of plunge that
a timid bather makes into chilly water,

been drinking, I really think you must

" "Ma'am !" cried Mr. Bunting.
'Perhaps, however, I should take no
notice of such conduct," said Mrs.
Hunter. "Perhaps I should treat It
with silent contempt." -
"Oh, good gracious!" cried bachelor
Bunting; "don't treat me with silent
contempt. It's my affection for yon
that urges me on. I adore you t'Havc

Now he got up with a soft of groan
not entirely caused by disappointed
love,-for he had the rheumatism. ".
"Farewell, false one," he said, feel
ing for his hat without looking for it.
"I leave you forever."
He strode away, banging the door
after him.
'The -widow cried and then laughed
and then cried again.
In fact, she had a genuine fit of what
the maiden aunt called "stericks," and
the chambermaid "highstrlkes," before
she was brought to, and prevailed to
take a glass of wine and something "hot

that Mrs. Hunter "kept steady com

The maiiUn aunt, who had no income
of her own, curried favor by being al
most always in a state of apparent coma.
Tbe widow was in the seventh heaven
of bliss, and all went merry as a marr
riage bell until one evening, as the
betrothed pair sat before the fire in the
polished grate, there came a ring at the
bell, and the girl who answered it soon
looked into the parlor to announce the
fact that a little girl in the hall would
come in,

Cheese as Food.
'!. vprv low nrice of good cheese
and its production in excess of the de
mand have led the manufacturers into
a serious consideration of the methods
by which the home consumption can be
increased : and this, of course, brings
up the question of the value of cheese
as food. Is it true, as is claimed by a
leading stock journal, that cheese con
tains at least fifty per cent, more nutri
ment In a given weight than beef. As
the two retail at nearly the same price",
this is an exceedingly interesting ques
tion. Let us first look af; the matter
from the point of production. It has

mid time, and that the product of gain

value. In the light of such facts, does
it seem reasonable that the cheese pro-

There is a great difference of opinion
as to this question. Our own is tha
the mole is harmless as a rule some
times it damages lawns and gardens in
pursuit of its food, which usually is the
earthworm. If it should go througn
hill of corn and injure it by loosening
the rootlets, it is still in pursuit of the
earthworm, ; which is, in dry times
found about the roots of corn aud other
vegetables, grass, etc., more abundant
ly than elsewhere. So far as our ob
servations extend, we have never
know the mole to eat vegetable matterT
It would seem to be strictly a carnivore
ous animal. ', And on this head here is
something to the point: Mr. AVeber,
one of the awana of Zurich, Switzer
land, recently examined the stomachs
of a number of moles caught In differi
ent localities, but failed to discover
therein the slightest vestige of plant or
roots; whereas they were filled by the
remains of earthworms. He shut up
several of these animals In a box con
talnlng earth and sod with growing
grass, and a small case of grub or
earthworms. In nine days two moles
devoured three hundred ana iony-one
