Down she biistleil to the door for the

"I'liimnier's man, mum. Mr. Crayli-h,

"Well, if you've not mine one to work

Mis. I'misoiiby, ih(! president of

"I am so sony t take you by sur

"Oh, imt at all!" interjected Mrs.

"Hut Mr. I'onsonby'.s mother is very

"Where1 ale they .'" asked Mrs, I'ou

"S here are who ;" yasped Mrs. Cray-li-li.
"I.onl lanisl, to-be sure!" said Mrs,
I'oiisonby, "and Mrs. Ivl'.jewort II !"
Mrs. Craxlidi yave a little shriek of
dismay as the full tiul'i broke in upon
lu r mind. She seized Mis. 1'oiisonby's
arm, as a ilrowuiny woman iiiiyht yrasp
at a straw.
"1 will tell you where they are!" said
she, w ith the stony raininess of despair.
"I I'lislicl Lord la-nest down slairs be

It Was some time before Mr. I'oiisonby
could be brouyht to ipiit" uuderslaii'l tho
pi silii'ii of alTaiis. Hut when she did,
.-he was even more perturbed than Mrs.
Crayfish had been.
"Let in yo up stairs I mean down

I.oid Kini'st Klberon, sittiny on the

watchiuy the operations of the plumber,
when they came down.

"Hat he was ipiiti! p 'aceable when I con

And there is more complicition in one nf
those baking and rousting concerns than
I had any idea of. Pray, ladies, inak"
no apologies. It was tho most natural
mistake in the wi rid. And I assure you
I regard it as a capital joke."
Mrs. Kdgewntth of Chicago, however,
was not so placable.
They found her sitting in the middle
of Mis. Crayfish's rather di-oryunized
bedroom, with a face like that of the
Sphinx; and nothing hut an introduc
tion to Lord Krncst Klberon pacified her
in the least degree.
Mrs. I'misoiiby carried off the wholo
party, Mrs. Crayfish include I, in her
coupe, to lunch at Dunorctti's.
And when tV linkless houvkecper

For years the Knglish and French con
trolled the manufacture of hail pins, and
it is only within the last twenty years
that the good have been produced ill
this country to any extent. The machin
ery used is nf a delicate and intricate,
character, as the prices at xxhich pins
are sold necessitate the most rapid and
cheapest process, which can only bo se
cuicl by automatic machines. The wire
i made expressly for the purpose, and
put up in large coils, which are placed
on reels, and the end of the wire is
placed in a i lamp, which carries it t i

To economize it is necessary to keep
them winking night and day. Thed lli

which is done by dipping in a preparation
and baking in an oven. Here is when1
tho most constant and careful attention
is n quired, as the pin must bo perfectly
smooth and the enamel have s pcrf- ct
polish. The slightest panicles of dust
cause imperfections and roughness, which

of a lion. From the first day Co so ani

hostility against em h other th it alarmed

the elephant was n moved to a point out

thought the anim ds would foiget each

lion amused all th" other animals, and
their ciies added to Ihe confusion. Tw i-:
the men succeeded in breaking the hold
nf the elephant, which then, maddened
by M iatelus and biles nf the lion, shove
to break dow n the strung cage in which
it enemy was ctuilineil, and twice the
elephant renewed its hold. Finally the
men, re -cuforci-i I by other workers in the

securing him at a place far removed from
the lion. It was found that the lion's
leg was badly wrenched. The elephant
escaped with unimportant scratches and
bites in its trunk.

Aunt Annie was getting ready for bed
one night. It r.iine I very hard, and
then was thunder, with sharp Hashes of
lightning. The window was open, 'lit
the blinds were shut.
Suddenly she tlimighl she heard some
thing say, "Chirp, ihirp!" outside the
shutters, and a little tap, tap, against
Iheiii. She waited, ami listen -d a mo
incut; and then it came again - a sharp
little cry - "Wrct, wed !"
Sin.' opened the shutter, and in fiew a
little yellow bird. lie had been fast
asleep in sonic high tree, when Ihe bright
ll.ishisaii'l the Imid r.iin woke him up
and fright'. m il him so that he cauic to
the window and begged to be let in.
I I bin's he must have I' ll just, at ymi
do w hen you have a b et dream and w aul

thought li t house was on lire, or that the

Hut, when he got in, the gaslight and
the strange place frightened him still
iimre. lb' llcw round and round the
(t iling until Aunt Anni" was afraid he
would batter himself to di a h.
She had turned the gas down very low,
so as to quiet Iti in. when he dashed into
il, mid put it mil; but he did not burn
himself.
Aunt Annie put a towel over the water
pitcher, so that ho could not fall in, ami
she took care to move about very softly.
Picseiilly, the pour little fellow, finding
that nobody wanted to hurl him, seltlcd
down on the yiis-fixture at the head nf
the bed, folded his tiled wings, tucked
I. is little head (which must havo ached,
I am sure, from the bumps l e had given
il) under his leathel and went to sleep,
lie looked very queer indeed just as
though he hud ti" head.
His liny claws could just clasp nicely
round the smooth pi n il he had chosen.

window both open, while birdie slept
all night un this funny ronst ; and, when
I tue I'riglit summer mnrniiig came, lie
flew nut into tho flesh air, before any
bitly was awake. Away he want; and
we never saw him again.
How astonished h" must have been
when he opened his eyes, to find him
self in a bt'liooiii, sitting on a yas-fixture!
I guess he must have thought to
himself:
' How ilnl I conn here'
