"1 know, dear, but" "And if I am compelled to remain in such a plate as this," inldeil Clara, f;laii':iiig superciliously around her, "I must really insist upon privacy." Kli?" said Mr. Mixil. " That old person in ihe sunll-c ilored coat," saiil MU Veivain, with a royal million of her heal toward an old gentleman in a wig and spectacles who was leading llio paper by a dis tant window, "1 l.ir.' s.iy he will do Very well in your kitchen or barroom, and I p:efer this apartment to my self."

If I'm intra ling, I'll go to the kitclmn. There's always room for me there. Eh, Mini?" Ami he trudged with alacrity out of the room, followed by mine host. "I'm afraid you've hurt his feelings, Clara," said I.ncy, iiteoitly. "Who eare for his feelings?" snid Miss Vervain, smiling at her scent buttles. "Mine are much more lo the purpose. Ami I don't choose to asso ciate with every farmer in tho Cats kills." "Ciar.i, dear!" "Well?" 'We are only a bookkeeper's tiaugn tcrs ourselves." "As if that signified," said Miss Ver vain, scornfully. "We are going to our aristocratic ralatious, aren't we ?' Hut perhaps they won't care to keop us." "That is neither hero nor there," said Miss Vervain, "but you never hail any proper pride, I.ncy." l.iltlo I.ncy Vet vain was still pon dering, with a puzzled brow over Iho ilisiinctioii between proper pride and pride that was not proper, when the landlord's wife, a buxom dame in ni idiler-red calico and a frilled whilo nproii, came lo summon tho guests to dinner. "We'vo only a roast fowl, with bread sauce and a little cranberry jelly," said Mrs. Mixil; "but it ain't often as folks stop here over si meal, ami I hope, ladic. as you'll kindly paid hi any shortcomings." Hut Miss Vervain stopped short on tho very threshold of thodiuing room. "I should prefer a table to inyeelf," saiil she, haughtily. "Ma'am !" said Mrs. M il. "I (ear Clara," pleaded I.uey, iu an agony of distress, as she saw the red flush rise to the f rchead of the old man in a snuH'-colored suit, who sat at Ihe head of the well.sprad board. "I prefer dining with my sister, only," insisted Miss Vervain, delight ed with an opportunity of asserting her exclusiveness. "Keally, I cannot imagine how people can obtrude them selves i'l this snrt of way.'' Tlw old man lose ipiietly. 'Do 1 understand, young woman," said he, "that you obj"cl lo me!" "Yes, sir, I ilo ohj 'et to you if you eoiu el mo to put it iu tlnit way," said Miss Vervain. "Indeed !" The old m iu lifie.il his grizzled brows. "I may not be one of yuur fashionable fops'' "That is easily to be. seen," run. lemptuoii'ly inhvpulnted the young lady. "Hut I am clean and decent," added Ihe stranger. "However, I dare say Mrs. Mixil can nccomuid ate inu with a plate and knife and fork in auolher ri I, if my presence is really ob noxious to these young women.'' "Young I idics, sir, if you please,' said Mi-s Veivain, with a loss of her head. He smiled a shrewd, sagacious smile. "As to thai," sail I.". "opinions may perhaps dillcr." An l lie followed Mrs. Mixit into the kit. lien. Clara Veivain took her seat com placently at the table. "These people will begin afier awhile to comprehend the dith rciti e between a lady and a sliop-gii I," said she. "It is ipiito evident that ihey arc not favoicd with many Iravclers." Half an hour afterward, as the old man in the sniiU'-eolorod suit wai step ping into his plain, little cariiage, a soft hand touched bis sleeve, and turning, ho found himself looking into Lucy Vervain's troubled brown eyes. "Well, my dear," said I e, kindle, "what ir it?" "I I only wanted lo bcLf your pardon, sir," faltered the little bru nette. "I ant sure my siVr did not mean to hurt your feelings, and" "I am Hire, at all t vents, that yon did not," aid the old man, kindly. "Anl I tlarc say that your sister will bo wiser one of these days!" And thus speaking, he uoibl 'd goml humored!)', and drove away. It was nearly Uik, however, before the elumbsy carryall which was to con vcy the two New York ladies lo their destination arrived, and they entered it. "To Clitr Ilall," said Miss Vervain, haughtily, as sho leaned back in the seal, ami settled her skirts languidly around lier "Clirl Ilall!" said Mr. Mixit staring. "You don't mean as you're going lo t'lill Hall? ' echoed Mh. Mixil. "I think we have considerably as tonished these good people," said Miss Veivain. with a smile, as they latllnl away from the door, 'I only hope our I ncle dill will receive ik kindly," sighed poor I.uev.

An old man servant opened the outside door jusl far enough to reveal tho cheery glow of a wood lire, and (he deep lints of n crimson Axmiuster carpet within. "Is my I'nclo Cliff at home?" said Miss Vervain, with uu uir and a grace. "Mr. Cliff is ay, mom," answered Iho servant, with a strong Scotch ac cent. "Tell him his nieces from New York uro here the Misses Vervain," said Clara, as slio swept into the ante chamber. As she entered, nil old man dressed in snuff-brown rose from before the blazing logs. "My nieces from New York, eh?" said Caleb Clill. "Ihey are wel come. " And lo Miss Vervain's surprise and dismay, she found herself face lo face with Iho old man of the Calskill way sidenii. "You are astonished?"' said he, slightly arching hi.s brows. "So am I. It is not always be, I to judge by ap pearances. Sit down. Sanders,'' lo (he servant, "let dinner be served." Miss Clara Vervain left Clill Ilall the next day, w iili all her bright an ticipations shattered lo the dust. Hill little brown-face I I.ncy stayed lo keep house for her uncle. "She's loo genteel for us, isn't she.'"' chuckled old C.iicb Clill'as tic; eariaire drove away which was to carry Miss Vervain to the New York station.

I I is.. 1 1 r ivi t t.s iin.i I in t;. tin May lsl'l, at Hergeti Point, New .lersey, I sent up live kites, from ' two to four feet in diameter, all held 1 by one string at the surface of the rartli. The altitude of the highest kite was probably nearly a mile, a roughly calculated from the slant and length of the .strings. It is therefore ; clear that the number of kites lo be '. lliwii is limited only by the strength of the string, its length, ami the force i and steadiness of the wind. The variou-ly colored kites llv one above another with a very pieiiy effect, i They look like colored disk- floating irregularly til a great heiL'h', because each kite is held at a slightly dif ferent angle lro.n every other, mak ing dillerciices of position in the sky. 1 At the same place, two kites were flying from one suing, which broke 1 near Ihe ground, the severed end ca i reel ing across a lield. Ii was caused 1 by inci easing strain dm' to an ap proaching storm. The kites, which ! were nt a great height, wavered, j turned partly aside, ami Marled dow n : rapidly. Hut Ihey were so very high (hat the lenglh and weight of tho I twine they were drugging delayed I their descent. They caught the wind j again ju-l as the broken end of the j 'wine was drawn up into a lino of ' Iclegr.iph-wires, becoming fastened to ! them at a height of about lifty feet above the ground. Then the kites I ciiiiie up and flew perfectly, held b- tbc telegraph-wire in which Ihe twine yet remained entangled and out of reach. A stone to which n light string was fattened was thrown upward and over the twine leading up to the kites, but this rescuing string gave way. The kite then broke loose again, and away Ihey went toward the slide of the Kill von K ill I. Tim long string, which soon began to trail through ti e water some distance oil the shore, was bro ken by a boat, thus throwing the lower of the two kites into the water. It sank and was not recovered. Meantime the farther kite hud again risen in the air, the string holding it having caught on the Statcn Island side of the Kill von Lull, which nt this point is nearly half a n.ile in width. This distant kite appeared above Ihe oppo-ite shore its a dim black dot. darting to and fro iu Ihe high wind. It was never brought back, bccai-o it could be regained only by taking a ferry boat and a railroad. The sun was setting, and the coming on of night probably would have made it impossible io lind it.

Packing Cooking the Fish. an d vVht-n one comes lo think of it it seems unite wonderful that one should I be able to buy a pound of salmon iu aeaufioiii the I'.tcille coast for ''.') cents. The fro 'ti lish costs 4" cents i a pound at least, while the unfrozen ! article range.- in L islern markets from j $1 up. Hesides, the manner in which each can is made lo contain a segment of salmon perfectly li ted into it ap pears liiosl surprising, the bones, even to Ihe larger verlcb:a . i:;eiti;'g in the mouth without requiring so much is a crunch between the teeth and the led flesh separating iu beautiful, clean flakes. Yet salmon would be very much cheaper than at present wcie it not that the great runners of Ala-kahave formed a combination to restrict the product. This k tin foil unate for consumers', pcrshaps, but lucky, ccr- tainly for the lish, which wo.nd be i wiped out altogether w ithin five year nt the most if the companies -engaged in their capture had a market for all they could produce at profitable rules. The methods einpliived are the most destructive conceivable, inasmuch as the usherinuu stretch seines across the mouths of the rivers and take the ti-h which are going up the stream to spawn.

After being soldered the cans (tro pin into hot water and watched in order lo see if an;' bubbles rise, in dicating leaks. Those which induct) this lest sin ssl'uliy arc placed iu an iron tank and boiled in salt water. Salt water is used in piefcrence to fresh, because it can b raised to a higher ten pcralutc. After boiling; for one hour and a ipi irtcr each can is "Vented." This means that a hole is punched in its top to p 't ii.il the ex- paiideii air to escape.
