Tin weal bi r lias been mi inclement since we have livi d in tho oily, and today luis li.'oii one of those days that puts n damper on tint brightest of spirits. I biivo been standing for some time watching tb drizzling ruin. Eunice, iiiv sister, who is more fortunate thnn I, in lifiii'- able to entertain herself, is comfortalily lounging in an arm chair rending away, with a placid ex pression on lcr fitoe, w hieh is highly provoking to nr.'. 1 can stand it no Jollier. I put on my hat mid mackin tosh nml tell Eunice 1 am going to the store to purchase some floss for my faney work. After shouting nt her several times, I succeed in rousing h'r from her book, nnd she tells me iu h dreamy manner it is too late to bo out on the afreet nloiu. She does not, however, oiler to accompany me. But I do not mind, fur I am per fectly eoiiiideiit that I know the way, to I brave the drizzling rain mid the foggy atmosphere in better spirits thnn I have experienced all day. I roach the s'oro, my lloss is soon purchased and I trudge back again to ward home. Why, it is quite dark, but this only servos to luake mo feel rather advciitursomt! and I hasten nlong us best I can. Of course, this is a little diilienlt, for I inn not used to so ninny people and to being shoved about from side to side. I do believe I have said "beg pardon" nt least twenty times, but no body ever says it to me, and I am not the one who is doing the pushing, either. All, hero's our street and here's our Louse ; there's n light in the hall for me. Why, the door is upon ! I nm mire I closed it when I left. Well, jierhaps Kuiiice ciinie to look for mo 'lid left it open. I run in and bang tho door to, for I mn glad to bo once moro sheltered from the rain. I take IT my mackintosh nnd rubbers, nnd then the dining-room door opens nnd somebody stalks into tho hall whistl ing. Through the dim light my aston ished eyes see a man who seems quite at home. It is not pupa, for papa is uot so tall as this person. Who can it be? Why, the man turns up tho gas, then lie sees me, and we both stare nt each other. At last I say: "Who nro you, and what are you doing here?" He smiles: through all my astonish ment and indignation I noticed it is a very pleasant smile. Then hi says: "I beg your pardon, but you have just asked mi) what I in tended asking you. To answer you, however, my name is Hubert Liiyton, and this is my home." What cm be moan, I wonder, nnd I say; "This is my home." Thou I gii.o about and notice th.it the furni ture is entirely different from ours 1 feel iihludi of mortification spreading over my face I try to bog a t hoi.s.uid Hardens ; one would bo suflicient, I VOL. XVII. suppose. I tell him I must have en tered tho wrong house, and that we enmo to the city just a week ago, and it was so dark that I mistook this for our house, and so forth. It is a terribly embarrassing situn ation, and I nm conscious that I am blushing furiously. Blushing never did become ine, either. His gaze, which at first had been penetrating, is now kindly. Even be fore ho speaks I can sei that ho ia try ing to put me at my ease. He is certainly n handsome fellow not of the baby-pretty sort of men, which I have always hated and detested, but of frank, manly bearing, a chivalrous fellow one can sou nt a glance. "To Le sure y.ou are in the wrong house," ho says, nnd says it so merrily, too, that we both laugh. It is strange how quickly this cultivated young man can reassure mo. Though hardly thirty seconds have passed since I first found myself face to fac with him, I already fec i that I have known him for a long time. "I am the daughter of the llov. Mr. Stnyles," I say, and I say it simply be cause I hardly know what else to say. "Oh, then you nro my next-door neighbors, I fancy." "Are we?" I ask, "I did not know the liamo beforo, but one of my servants told me that a clergyman was the new neighbor." "I am glad you arc to be our neigh bor," I say. As soon as tho words are uttered, I feel tint I have been ter ribly bold and forward, but Mr. Lay ton answers heartily '. "And I'm glad, too, Miss Stayles." "1 must g.i," I murmur. "I owe you a thousand apologies, mil I nm very grateful to you for your courtesy mid good nature. You might have taken me for-" "A burglar, wore you going to say? No, indeed.

"I fear, since yon live tie 1 door, it would be rather siiperllu ms for me to offer to see you homo, (iood night.

I'll pa says: "How Hushed your cheeks nre!" Mamma exclaims : "Why, Mild, how nervous voil seem to be!" and Eunice says: "Maud, has anything happened to you? You are really trembling !" So I am compelled to relate my ad venture, and we all end up with a good hearty laugh nt my stupidity. "Mr. Lav-ton wishes to see Miss Maud." This is the announcement made by our b ilitury domestic. "Ask Mr. Layton to come right in," is my answer. As you will observe, he asks for me. At fust, he invariably inquired for my father or mother Now he almost al ways asks for me. Strange etiquette? Not iu tho least. We are engaged, you sec, and that makes nil the difference in the world. Yes, Mr. Hubert Layton called so frequently and persistently und al ways to see me, as he has since avowed that now he wants to have me in his home, in order that he may not be put to the trouble of coming to our door and ringing the bell. And I have come to tho conclusion that the best way out of it is to do as he urges, and marry him. Hubert -but I always call him Bob now has lived in the same home for years, and had never before thought of marrying. His mint, v. ho is a wi dow, has managed his house for him nil these years, but she is a dear, sweet old soul, mid she says she is just as de lighted as Bob is at the prospect of a new mistress for the house. My father nnd mother both put oil comically grave looks and say that they are disconsolate at the thought of having their eldest daughter taken from them. But then I nm going only next door.

Atlanta, Coubtituti'.u, PITTSB0U0 CHATHAM CO., N. C, SEPTEMBER 0, 1894. 1 Iu Sail ir or To-day. The modern sailor is a jaek-of-nll-trades. He must be a good deal of a soldier; and to innke a soldier of tho old-fashioned tar w as an impossibility J he would have resented the very at tempt. But now lie must march and drill on shore, and know the "manual of arms" and the bayonet drill liko a member of 11 regini.Mit for "whoro duty." He may be called upon to perform at any time. The officers may even be called upon to ride; and you know there is 1111 old adage that used to ruu, "Xe uw'twaril an a sailor on horseback." He must by an artilleryman, nnd know how to handle the howitzer mid tho riipid-ilre guns and the "rattling Oat lings." Kven then ho has to bo his own horse, nnd pull the heavy pieces the way they do fire-engines in the country by hand. He must b.-s a machinist, and know the ponderous and yet delicate ma chinery of the breach-loading guns in the same way that an engine-driver knows his engine. He must be able to use his monkey-wrench and oil-can, and keep the great guns bright mid clean by constant polishing. He must know something of electricity, nnd how to manage the big sharklike tor pedoes that nre discharged under wa ter from tubes in the ship's sides, nnd tho sonrcli-light that turns night into day. He must be a coal-heaver, and turn to and help "coal ship." And besides all this, he must learn what every sailor has to know how to tie knots, splice ropes, ine a paint brush, wash his own clothes, drill with cut lass mid pistol, row 11 bo it, and know how to signal, like a telegraph oper ator, with tlm "wigwag" lings. So you sec a sailor is a pretty busy man, and on many ships be never has to furl 11 sail or go aloft at nil. Iu fact, nearly a third of the crew is employ ed about tin engines. Kvcry man lias his ship's number; it is on his clothes, and his locker where he keeps them, 011 his hammock, and stamped on bis magazine riibs and accoutre ments. He lias his station iu case of tire, and when going into action or manning the pumps. Everything must be like clock-work, no matter what turns up. A sense of duty and obe dience to discipline he must always have beforo him. Harper's Young People. An Vinorlciiii Sardine. Tho United Slates tish commission colls attention to the food value of tho anchovy of the waters of tho North west, which, it is predicted will dis placo the Sardinian sardine as a small fish canned in oil. It is said 'to far surpass the sardine in llavor and rich ness. Hussiau fishermen on Puget sound have already tried the experi ment of putting these nnchovies up with vinegar und spices, and have found a ready market for them. "I have known them," Mr. Swan says, to bo in such masses at Port Hod lock, at the head of Port Townsend bay, that they could be dipped tip with a common water bucket, but as there has been no demand for them, the fisherman do not consider them of value, and when hauling their nets for smelt they generally let the anchovy cscap." Tlm anchovy of the sound is seldom more than six inches long, nud it is i:im!i better adapted for cun ning tha:i th K is! port (Me.) variety of "sardine," whic'.i is either young herring or the small fry of other lish. A test of the Ilivois of the Paeilie coast anchovy as a lish canned iu o;l was recently made, and experts pro nounced them delicious. They were put up in California olive oil. New Orleans Picayune. A Mm-CMit Coin. The nineteeti-forty-niue and ninety-nine-cent marks on many articles of merchandise have le.l certain investi gators to demand a nine-cent coin. It is said in defence of this idea that it would greatly facilitate making change and save shoppers a great deal of time. There is some reason k think that a certain class of shop keepers would uot exhibit any great degree of enthusiasm on this point, as there are many persons who w ill sacri fice the one cent rather than wait, and this is clear profit. But be this as it may, it is said that the nine-cent piceo is sure to come. The demand for paper money fractional currency is becoming emphatic iu certain quar ters, and it may be possible that wit It this circulating medium there will be odd-number pieces, all of which will be of great use in tho almost universal practice of shopping by mail.

One found in the famous red wood forest of California had sticks iu it as large as an ordinary fence rail. The nest was 300 feet from the ground and was built 011 a frame-work com posed of the heavy tim'ier that wiu solidly fastened together at the corn ers like n rail fence and 011 the frame was built a solid platform of heavy sticks nnd brush, making a complete nest.

A WIIAI.INli AllVKS rrHK, A most disastrous aocid 'iit occurred to the whale-ship Ktsex, belonging to Nantucket, and c v.miiaiiue I by Cap tain Honald Pollard. While cruising in the South Pacific the ship discov ered a school of largo sperm whales, and nil the boats were at once lowered to assail them. The mate and captain succeeded in fa-iti-nin it about the same time. The former lanced his victim, and while engiged in tying his lins together preparatory to securing him alongside th ship, which was about a mile away, but bearing down in response toth mite's signal, the captain was plae d i'l danger by the whide which he had struck making for his boat after rising, (iro.it di xl-. rity on the part-of the rowers and steer, r swept the boat out of the path of the infuriated tUh whie'i kept 0:1 iu a dirict line, dragging the whale boat after him with such veloc ity that the parted waters stood n foot nbovo the gunwale, but were prevented from fulling into tile boat owing to the great speed maintained. It was quickly seen that the ship was in th path of the fleeing whale, and the captain halloed to the men 011 board to alter the course of the Vessel, and it was evident that the dan ger was appreciated by the helmsman of the 11-isex, for the head of the ship was observed to fall off; but ere she Could be swept out of the truck the whale struck her with such frighful force that tho bows were crushed iu nnd nil three masts were carried away. Tho vessel immediately filled with water, but roiuaiued floating, with h -r upper deck even with the water, owiqg to the number of empty barrels in her 'tween decks. Fortunately quite a quantity of pro visions were in the galley when the accident took place, un l a barrel of salt pork and one of buof were recov ered from tho hold a day or two later. For over a week the crew lived on the dock of the ship, hoping to sight a sail ; but none appearing, and realizing that they were in an tin fre quented part of the Paeilie, thoy took to the boats, with the idea of reaching Valparaiso, the nearest port. A few days following they sighted D.lcio's Island, an almost barren bind situated in the latitude of 21 degrees 10 min utes south, and the longitude of 1:21 degrees niinutei west. Tu a e.ivo close to the beach the men found eight skeletons, nnd a board iu which had been cut with a sailor's knife th ; words, "Ship F.lizabetli of London." Three of the crew, however, preferred remaining ou this sterile island rather than venture throe thousand miles iu an open boat ; so leaving them a small stock of provisions and some fishing Iines.the remainder of the men headed to the east ward. For several dayi: tho boats kept to gether; then they become separated, never to moot agiin. Six weeks later a battered whale boat drifted into the harbor of Valparaiso just as the sun was sinking across tho wide reach of crimson-tinted waters. The glorv of the sunset bathed tho stained and and tattered siil until it lojked to bo woven in threads of gold. Even the gaunt faces of the crew, caressed bv the tender touches of the mystic glow, became fair to look upon, and their 'ragged vestments seemed to wrap them nbout with the raiment of a king. Upon learning the story of the shipwreck, an American man-of-war then at anchor iu the harbor was des patehod to Oucie's Island, whole the throe ni'ii were rescued. -Harper's Young People.

The collec I tioii here is hidden from public view I in all out-of-the-way corner of the Na ' tioiml Museum. It is under the care I of Dr. Leonard St jneg. r, who is 1 known every when' as 11:1 expert in ' reptiles. "You do not admire snakes, I sup ; pose?" said Dr. Stejneg 'r,as he sa! in his workroom, surrounded by reptilian specimens ill bottles of alcohol. "Well, it is all a 111 itter of t isle. There was Prof. Ji.iird, formerly secretary of the I Smithsonian Institution.

Cobra poison in i t -4 natural state is one of those fluids which nre nhlc to pass through membrane.-. If swallowed it would be apt to go through th'. walls of the alimentary tract and get into the cir culation iu that way." Kicking out of the way two large land turtles which were walking across tho floor, Dr. Stejuoger called attention, with a wave of his hand, to shelves on every side.containin ; thou sands of jars nnd buttles of serpents and other reptiles. Slid he: "Of course, this collection is far ahead of all others in respect to the (makes of North America. The specimens mo contributed mostly by private individ uals; people send tliem from every where. We obtain a good many by I'xchange with sciciititie iiistitutloiic abroad, "The specimen, cime in alcohol nsuallv, After being identified they lire put into jars, each species having a dottle to itself.

Then the bones nre c.irefully scraped, great pains being taken to preserve the cartilaginous extremities of the l'ilis. These may be regarded the feet of a sii ike, which actually Walks on the ends of its libs. The boas and pythons have rudimentary hind legs." From n shelf near by Dr. Siejneger lifted down a bottle containing mi enormous toad. He said that it was the biggest toad in the world that is to say, a representative of the largest known species. When n fresh speci men, it tipped the scab s nt nearly four pounds. The doctor reached to a shelf near by and took therefrom a small an 1 par ticularly hideous object. It was a horned toad from some desert region of the southwest. Evidently quite tame, it blinked its bright little eyes at the reptilian export as he rubbed the front part of its head with his lin ger. That it enjoyed the operation was unmistakable. When nngry this nnimnl squirts jits of blood out of its eyes to a distance of a foot. This fact, long discredited by ccieiit ists, has been established recently. "Though called a toad, this creature is iu reality a kind of lizard," said Dr. Stejuoger, as he replaced it 011 the shelf. "But, speaking of lizards, the the queerest one wo have seen for a long timu reached us tho other day from New Zealand. It is named the Vyclopeiin lizard,' because it has a third eyo 011 the top of its head. However, it is not a true lizard, but n sort of connecting link between the lizards and turtles.

The third eye is rudimentary, but a dissection at its structure plainly re veals th.) eye-socket, the lens and a strand of nerves coiiu'-ctiiig with tho visual tract of tlio brain. This eye is interesting chiefly because it corre sponds to the third eye with which ev ery human being is provided. The so-called "pineal gland" is actually an eye that has become rudimentary. Tho gland is of about the size nnd shape of a pea, and issitnatedin the middle of the head. Place the tip of your finger just above tho bridge of your nose, on a level with the eyes, and di rectly b-hiiid that point about live inches is the gland. It still retains Mini wh it of tin stru 'ture of nu eye. The ancients supposed it to be the centre of consciousness and the seat of the soul." Washington Star. Tame edd dl. At Logan, near tho Mull ofOalln way, Ireland, there is a most interest ing li'lul fish pond. A rent iu the ('ill's facing th.)

The clill'i rise high nil round ; stone steps descend on on-' side to a ledge leveled into a footpath at the water's edge, No sooner docs the visitor's footfall resound on the stairs than tho green water, hitherto motionless nnd apparently lifeless, becomes peopled with largo brow n lish rising from the depths, eliding and d e lung about in a urent slate of excitement.
