"Mow do you like if?" said Charley ('hire to Melieent Kirke, ns lie pointed 1o tlit1 cottage lie had selected fnrtht'iu to keep house in when they should be i ii r. rr it'd, in a few weeks. "Oli.it iH beautiful !"shc whispered, "lint, ('hurley, ilon't you think it's rather small?" "Well yes perhaps so ; but what do wo want of anything larger? The bedroom over tho hull in really quite a flood size, anil " "Hut is thrre n bedroom on tho ground floor?" nskvil Melieent, anxious- "o. Why?" "For grandmamma, you know." Mr. Clare's countenance Ml slight ly. "1 have ninth1 no arrangements for your grandmother. Milly." "But, Charley, she brought mo up. Oh, ('hurley, wi-i'nn't keep house with out her." "We cairt keep house with her, you liieiin!" said Clare, imperatively. "When a tiinti marries a girl, hedoesn't contract to support all the relatives she happens to have !'' "I inn all that grandmother has," caid little Milly, her fnoe all in a jrlow, hrr eyes ilarkly eoriiHeatinp. "(Irninl- n.aiiinia Iiiih loved nud elierished me more yearn than vim have, and I will i not leave her to want and, perhaps, willVrinj;, in her old iifte."' "Very well, then." said Mr. ('hire, quit tly. "it is settled !" "Yes," said Melieent ; "it is net tled!" And (iraiidiuother Kirke, sitting nloiie by her lire, wau astonished, Home the it ten minutes later, by tho Mid den apparition of little Milly, fling ing heivelf upon her shoulder nnd s- Iddiig most bitterly. Grandmother Kirke listened to the poor little girl's story, with an odd working of her toothless jaws. "I don't ask this saeritiee of you, i hild," said old Mrs. Kirke, stroking down the lustrous massesof disheveled blown hair. "I dure say I shall do well enough : and it's hardly fair for the old l stand in tho way of the young." Milly looked up, loving and indig nant in the same breath. "Do you suppose I could leave you, grandmamma?" Mr. Charles Clare was a I it 1 to sur prised at the turn events had taken; it had never fur an instant oeeurred to his mind that any girl in her sober senses eould prefer the society of a crooked otd woman to that of him self. "She'll come to her senses after a while," was the reflect In w ith which ho was consoled. "All girlH indulge in heroics tiow and then, but it won't Inst long." Mr. Clare, however, was destined to d.fcnppeintinont. "Engaged to Frank lllakeslee!" he cried, about two mouths .siibseipieutly. "Why, he's been courting herthis lung lime sending her Mowers and books nnd music, nnd all that sort of thing. And the old Witch of l'.ndor is to live with them, I suppose. 1 wouldn't hnvti stood it !" went on Clare, grow ing luore heated and anry as he talked ; "but Frank Hlakeslee never had any m iud of his ow n. Well, 1 wall 'cm joy, that's all." And the tone of voice in which Mr. Clare spoke indicated anything rather than the benevolent aspirations shnd mved forth by his words. Frank Hlakeslee and Mebeonf Kirke had not been married more than a year wheiin dark messenger came to the door of their humble, yet infinite ly contented little home- Arael, the mighty and relentless ! "You've been very kind to me. Frank and Milly," said Grandmother Kirke, "but it's well-nigh over now. 1 only wanted to live long enough to see my little girl confided to the care nf some good man who would value her n sh deserves, and I've got my wish." And Grandmother Kirke, whose old eyeH were growing dim, fumbled under her pillow for the old calico work-bag with leather strings and outlandish tittle pockets, winch, with its para phernalia of antiipie housewives, bod kins, scissors nud thimbles, was her constant companion. "Tho needle-biiok, Milly," she said faintly. "Look in the noodle-book !" "Kut, graudiiinuima, the leaves are nil sewed tightly together." "( 'ut them opeu, child ; luif be care ful. Fin going to give that ueedle book to you, Milly. It was one I bought when you were a wee baby. All my treasures belong to you, child." Frank ISIakoslee stood looking over his wife's shoulder as she obeyed the old lady's behest, deftly passing the scissors' points between the flannel leaves, scolloped and embroidered, and faded silks which had . once boasted all the colors of the rainbow. Suddeilly he uttered an exclamation, and in the same instant Milly dropped the scissors, "Grandmamma, there is money here, sewed to the inside of each leaf -hundred dollar bills." Grandmother Kirke smiled serene ly. "How many, Melieent?" "Ten, grandmamma." "Yes, yes, I thought so," said the old lady, nodding her head. "It Is all right. Take them Frank, and spend them as you anil Milly please, they are old grandmother's gifts." "A thousand dollars! Oh, grand mamma," cried Milly, with u long breath, "you never told me this!" "Because I wanted you to depend on yimrself, my girl. But 1 always meant it for ymi. Now leave me in ipliet 8, little while. I want to sleep." And half an hour afterward Grand mother Kirke died. "It's a deuce of a bore," said Mr. Charles Clare, when the strange story reached his ears, as of course it was not long in doing. "Ulakeslee always seems to have all the luck. If I'd known about the thousand dollars, I don't know ns I should have objected to the old lady." Hat Grandmother Kirke's money was better invested in Frank Blnkes lee than in Charley Clare. Melieent did not regret her choice. Xow York Ledger. A Shu Francisco Smiil-f innh ii. You might pass the residence of Francisco Arata in Stockton Street a thousand times without being aware that his back yard is literally alive with mails not flic kind one finds in the slimy marshes and damp spots where roots of trees decay nnd musty smells abound, but n lieut little creat ure, daintily dime up in a smooth nnd regular-shaped shell to protect it from birds and insects, and into which if glides in time of danger. The yard in which the queer little creatures pasture is divided into Iwo portions, one the rocky hummock and the other a small flat piece of land used as a playground for children. In one corner is k small bed of lettuce. The snails have taken possession of it along with nil the vegetables on the rock-pile, which was originally sej aside as the breeding-ground. It is covered with a rank growth of flowers, vegetables and fruit. All this foliage is being mutilated beyond recognition by the destructive snails. Anita, who watches w ith great pride and interest the growth of his pets, says: "I think tho miail, or liunache, as we call it in Italy, is superior as an ar ticle of food to oysters, clr, u, mus sels, or in fact, any shell-fish. They are much more tender, and as for fla vor there is nothing to eijual them. T am speaking of the genuine luiiiache, the kind f nm now cultivating. "About a year and a half ago I re ceived seventy-five snails from Genoa, Italy, and placed them on the rocks in my yard, gave them plenty of fresh water every day and allowed them to do as they pleased in the garden. The rapidity with which they multiplied was wonderful. Although I have giv en away over It.OOO, I estimate that there are as many more left. "I never sell siuiils," said Arata, "and I don't propose to, but I give all my friends any ipiantity. It is only a fad of mine to raise them. People can turn up their noses all they wish at the snail, but I'll take 'em every time in preference o an oystnr or frog legs."- San Francisco Chronicle. A threat Intciitor's Methods. F.ilisoti's genius comes near to justi fying that definition of the word which makes it an iiilinite capacity for taking pains. "Are your discoveries often brilliant intuitions? Do they come to yon while you are lying 'awake nights?' " I asked him. "I never did anything worth doing by accident," he replied, "nor did any of my inventions conic directly through accident, except the phono graph. No, when 1 leive fully decided that a result is worth getting, 1 go n head on it and make trial after trial until it conies. I have always kept strict lv within the liuesof commercial ly useful inventions. I have never had any time to put on electrical won ders, valuable simply as novelties to catch the popular fancy." Aud he mimed in distinction some noted elec tricians who had liinde their reputa tions through the pyrotechnics of tho profession, "What makes you work?" I asked with real curiosity. "What impels you to this constant, tireless struggle? You have shown that you care compa ratively nothing for the money it. makes, and you have no particular en thusiasm in the attending lame." "I like it," he answered, after a moment of puzzled expression, and then he repeated his reply several times, as if mine was a proposition that had not occurred to him before. "1 like it. I don't know any othe.l reason. You know Home people like to collect stamps. Anything I have begun is always on my mind, and I am not easy while 1 am away from it until it is finished. And then I hnto it." "Hate it?" T asked, struck by his emphatic (ones. "Yes," he alliiiiied, "when it is all done and is a success I can't bear the aight of it. I haven't used a telephone in ten years, and I would go out of my way any day to miss an incniiilcsecut light." Review of Reviews, The Highest NmrsrH of (.old. At the National Museum is exhibited a reproduction of tho biggest nugget of gold ever found. It is a cast, but, being gilded, it looks just like tho original. The hitter was dug up at the mines of Hallarat, Australia. Tho proprietor of a "hole" had gono away to lunch, leaving n hired man digging with a pick-axe. Suddenly the pick struck something. The work mn u dug around it to see what it was, aud thou he fainted. Presently the owners returned, nnd, seeing tho man lying in the hole, they thought he was dead. One of them jumped in, turned him over to see what was the matter with him, and then he fainted also. Both of them wcro dragged out, and immediately digging was wildly begun fin' the nugget, whiehhiN partly exposed. The masn whs so great that at first they supposed that they had come upon n reef of pure gold. When they got it out it weighed M pounds and a few ounces. Its value was $11,000. Bring sent to England, it was exhibited therefor a time and was finally melted and turned into sovereigns. -1 Washington Star. Home of n (irent Scientist. Doctor Felix L. OHwald, who con tributes so copiously to the leading magazines, lives in comparative soli tude on a sheltered spur of Holston Mountain, in the extreme eastern part of Tennessee.

This meal in his breakfast, and is eaten at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, at which hour he censes writing for the day.

All English writer has recently made a study of the ipieer things swallowed by fish. He h aves out of the ipn s tioti the large fishes, like i-harks, which swallow pretty nearly everything that comei in their direction, nnd have stomachs as elastic. He confines him self to the smaller fry, nnd tells these stories of odd linds. Not long sgo u fish merchant found the amber mouth piece and a portion of tho meerschaum stem nf ti pipe in n codfish he win dressing for ii customer. At Scarbo rough the writer saw a child's coral which, riot half mi hour before, had been, on the most undeniable testi mony, extracted from the gullet of a good-sized conger. That bright ol jects attract the attention of fishes is undeniable, and at one of the great Louder clubs rceeiitly a silver spoon was found in a tine salmon. The spoon had upon it the crest of a well-kiiown liobliinaii, and impiirv showed that the latter had been cruis. ing about in his yacht in th very dis trict where the fish had been caught. The voracity of the pike m notorious, but a year or two back, in a loch of the canal at Catoii, near Lancaster, England, a huge pike was caught which had swallowed an assortment of hardware, including some piecrs of tin toy, a spinning bait and hooks at tached complete, an old-fnsliioiieil two-penny piece, nnd the head and part of the wood of a tack-hainmer, i Harper's Young People. THE BABY S SFHMOV. The children lei 1 been up in thrir mamma's room, after breakfast, t ha t Kimdiiv nmrninir. lenri, in., their t. v H and when they had it perfectly, and were coining dow n stairs again for a run in the garden, while nurse was busy, Nannie and Frank fell to dis puting. And what doyoii think about? Why, who should carry the great rub ber ball down stairs. Nannie wanted it, because she had thought of it lirst, and Fniiik wanted it. besausc he was oldest. "You're a mean, selli'-li boy," said Nannie. "You're a pig," said Frank. "I'll just tell papa what a horrid boy you are," snid Nannie. "And I'll tell mamma 1 wish she'd sell you to somebody. I don't want such a sister," answered Frank. "I don't love you one single bit," sniil Nannie. "And who wants you to?" in. mired Frank. So these naughty children went on from bnd to worse, saying all sorts of unkind and unpleasant things to one another so very unkind that they were ashamed enough when they re membered them afterward. All this time baby Hon was coming down stairs behind them. Slowly, one foot at a time, holding fast to tho banisters with both fat, small hands, the little man made his way; and wi der and wider opened his big bluo eyes, more and morn surprised ho looked as he heard the ungry words. The children stopped fo linish their fpinrrel at the foot of the stairs. Frank was trying very hnrd to get the b II away from Nannie, nnd she had got as far as pulling his hair, the naughty gill, when the baby stopped on the lowest stair, and preached hia si'l'inoll to them. "Ickle chillen," said he, "love one anodder." That was every word he said. It was the text the children had been learning in their mother's room such a short time before. Nannie dropped her hands, her face Hushed, and she turned half nwny from Ha by Hen and nobody said anything for a moment. "Here, Frank," said Nannie at hist, holding out the ball, "you may have it. Fin going to be good." "So am 1," said Frank. "Y'ou shall have the lirst toss, Nnuiiin. I'm I'm very sorry I was so cross." So the two went oft' to the garden hand in hand, ash'imcd enough of having been so naughty, while the baby curled himelf up in papa's big chair in the study, and there nurse found him, after a long hunt, fast asleep, with Ilia thumb iii his mouth. Cheering Words. RICH RHDSKIXS. Wealthy Tribes Who Inhabit tho Indian Territory. Richer than Any Equal Body in the World. The five cii ili.ed tribes inhabiting the Indian territory - the Choctaws, ChiekasawH, Creeks and Semiiioles constituting a population of i;n,iNHI souls, have more couen t wealth among themselves, chielly held in common by each tribe, than any body of people of eipial size under the sun. Once absolute savages, investing the bottollisimd wildel llessj sof Tl lllless. e, Georgia and Alabama, except the Semiliolis. who came from Florida, they are now creditable and cultivated citizens, of perhaps a little higher ol der than many of our imported Euro pean Anurieniis, with legislative, executive, and judicial departments, trial by jury and the right of appeal to the Supreme court. The men, as a rule are handsome and the women Comely, froipielitly even beautiful; so attractive indeed, that white men from elsew here, captivated by their charms and worth, as w. as by the delicious dim ite au lolle v favorable conditions under which lli. y live, sek alliances with them in matrimony, and cast in their lots with t lie tribes. Altogether the live tribes have in bank and in the I" M it-1 St-ites treas ury the aggregate sum of . '.i.iihO.iMMI ; they own nearly 20, mm, mm acres of land, some of it literally underlaid with deposits of coal, iron and other rich mineral resources, the whole val ued at Sl.llOO.nOO.OOO. and easily sala ble at that figure to-day ; they produce between" $-1,0110.000 and $i'..iliiu.iiilil worth of farm crops every year, and thei live stock is est hunted at T.'li.ooil head. Besides all this they have pros peroiis cities and towns, with schools, newspapers, factories, mills nud work shops in large numbers, and sdVV.Oiii: worth ol' church property. Not count ing their stock, houses, mills or fac tories, but simply their land, tru-t funds and farm products, the per capita wealth of the live tribes, iii.-rt, women and children, is .!,.N12. Cer tain of these tribes are wealthier than I others Hv reason f the superior quality of their lands, (he extent and nature of their improvements and the amount of trust funds held for them in the treasury. Payments of interest and other sums due them by the gov ernment fll'e made every year by the United States assistant treasurer at St. Louis to the treasurer of each tribe or nation, and the expenditure of these amounts is entirely under the control of the tribes and tribal coun cils. The Choctaws mid Chickasnws, liv ing down in the southeastern pint of the territory, number together 2'',of)0 people, inul own 1 l,;tSN,!2." acres of land, of which ri,:i00,(l00 acres are tillable, and in addition they have due them or in trust in the tre.;-.iiry "'-',-2S0 in cash, or a cash per capita of $221. Beyond this tin y possess valua ble property ill the shape of Mocks, herds, houses, public buildings, schools and other improvements. TheCherokeeswho iiilnil.it the north eastern part of the territory an. I who recently sold their interest in the Che rokee outlet for j?S,li0O,00O. have ,le them, besides this inon y, r.'tT.Oi'O held iii trimt in the treasury, or SI I. 2:17,000 in all. They number 2 l.2."t'.. so that their cash funds amount to $12-1 for each indiv idual. The land owned and occupied by the tribe covers fi.Oiiloiril acres. Of this '.." acres per capita arc arable and susceptible of higher cult ivat ion. The Creeks, who live south and west of tic Chefokei s and number 1.,0U0, have $2,00,1,0110 to their credit in the treasury and own .'1,010, l'.l-" acres of land of tine qualilv. The per capita cash Wealth of the Se miiioles is greater than that of the other four civilized tribes, but their Isnds are not so extensive. The tribe, living southwest of the Creek eouiitrv, embraces 2,7:10 individuals Their trust fund amounts to $l,.-)00,00ii, be ing $54K to each man, woman and child. Their laud covers ,'17o,000 acres, of which 26 acres per capita are tillable. Chicago Times. The Thrifty .lapaite e. What in th e reason that Japan has no poverty problem? One reason is probably to be found in the land sys tem, which has given to every worker a holding and encouraged bin) to sup ply his wants by his own labor. Ef fort, has thus been developed and wants are limited. Another reason lies in fhe natural taste for country beauty. Nowhere else are parties formed to visit the blossom trees, and nowhere else arc pilgrimages simjilv for the ske of natural beauty. A country life has, therefore, its own in terest, ami men do not crowd the I cities for the sake ol excitement. There is, too, in Japan a curious ab sence of o.st, nt. itioiis luxury . says the Fortnightly lieview. The habits of living are in all classes lunch the same, and the rich do 110I outshi '.e the poor by carriages, pala ces and jewelry. The rich spend j their money 011 curios, which, if co-f-( ly. are limited, and the most popular I agitation is that against the big European lion -es which ministers build for themselves. Wealth is thus j not absorbed : 1 : 1 1 is more i t ady for I investment in n luiuieiat ive labor.
