"It's very nice," said Mrs. Elton plaintively, as she sat on tlio long pi azza of tho hotel, "but I should hnvo preferred somo inland place for tho hi miner. You sec, I am never at cuso about tho children, and Mr. Elton comes down hero only oiieo in tho week." "Your brother scums to enjoy tho lienuties of tho seashore very miii'h," said Mrs. Horsey. "I think I never saw Mr. Seville enjoying better spir its." "Oh, that's because Miss Cliuloticr is here," said the matron, curving her lip n littlo superciliously. "Ho is ab surdly infatuated with Juliet Chal auer!" "I think sho is u very lovely girl," said Mrs. Dorsoy. "Lovely? Oh, yes, I suppose sho is lovely enoii;;h, only 1 never did fancy that stylo of bounty." "Mr. Seville does, it HoeniH." "My dear, didn't I tell you that Clarence was completely infatuated? 1 don't suppose ho would bo w illing it own that sho has u fault in the world! I did talk to him seriously at ono time, nlout t hose coquettish littlo nirs of hers, lull i saw at oiu'o that I might as well have tallied t the wind. You see, I tliilik she is disposed to In! sclliah - thoso only daughters often ro; nnd theu she is .such au egregious coward !' "How do you mean ?" "Sho won't ride, lest she should b.) run nway with; .sho is terrified out of her senses at the aparition of a mouse, and I wish you could have heard her scream tho other day, when it spider dropped on her liounet. I've no patience with such a oliiiri.cter.'' "Perhaps it is only it bit of girlish affectation. " "No, it is not ; sho actually is nfraid. " "There sho comes mm, with your children clinging around her." said Mrs. Horsey. "They certainly ap pear to lie very fond of her." "Yos," returned Mrs. Elton, indif ferently, "sho 1ms a way of winning children's affect ion." As Juliet Chaloner canto up the path, her slight ligiiro d u kly outliued against the sunset, her beauty seemed something more in: uigihio. One little one clung to her skirts, another held Iter hand, uud two or three skipped along in front of Iter as she neured tlio piazza. "Mamma! ntaiuma !" piped out lit tlo Hubert, "Miss Chaloner has promised to go to lllydeti's Point with us tomorrow where tho littlo twisted shells grow." "And, mainma," interrupted Rosa, you'll go with us, for Miss Chaloner says you can tin 1 those stur-tish for your aquarium !" "Don't talk so loud children," said Mrs. Elton, pettishly. "I'm afraid you've found them very noisy nud troublesome, Miss Chulonor." "Xot at all," said Juliet, pleasantly. "I am very fond of children, you know. And I really think, Mrs. El ton, you would find it a very pleasant walk to Myden's Point." "Thank you," said tho matron, stifle, "it would be altogether too fur." "Tnon, ninniiun," urged Harry El ton, a manly boy of 1 1, "let mo row you and Ensit nud Hubert in tho boat "I'll think of it," siid Mrs. Elton; "only if Miss Chaloner hhould chain e to encounter ii spider or it tield mouse by tho road, 1 won't answer for the Consequences. " Juliet laughed, but sho colored nevertheless. "I was telling Clarence of your dainty littlo hysterics," wont on Mrs. Elton, with polite malice. "If there is anything Clarence respects it is common sense and courage. " Juliet went into tho homo without replying. "Hoes Claronco think I B'li a cow ard, or does he think me guilty of af fectation?'' sho thought. "What lir.ve I dono that Mra Elton should speak, so unkindly to me?" "Miimma," suid Harry, bluntly, "why did you speak to Miss Chaloner so spitefully?" "Littlo boys shouldn't nsk ques tions! " said Mrs. Elton, sharply, "Uo iu and brush your hair! " "So you hnvo really concluded to j go to Blydon's Point with us?" said Juliet, brightly, as sho mot Mrs. El ton at tho dinner-table next day. "Yes, to please the children." "An. I, Miss Clialoner, " interposed Harry. "1 nm to row mamma nud the littlo ones, while you walk across tho sands uud meet us, at 5 o'clock," "Then wc must start n littlo in ad vance of your boutiug party," said Juliet. How brightly tho golden afternoon slippc1 away upon tho smooth sands of Blydon's Point! Even Mrs. Eltou forgot to bo spiteful, but reveled in the beauty of the far off rocks nud sapphire firmament, nud owned to herself that "really, Juliet Chaloner was very charming! " "See, Miss Chaloner!" cried Bos sie, ecstatically dancing upon her tip toes, "tho water is creeping all over my shells ! " "Don't you neo tho tide is coming up?" said Harry, eagerly. "Stand up on that high point, ami take your shells away quick unless you wunt to lose them." "Hut Miss Chaloner," said Helen wistfully, "the water is ever so high over that narrow neck of laud, where wo crossed by tho old lighthouse ;how shall wo get back again?'' Juliet laid down tho branch of sea weed sho had been admiring with Mrs. Eltou, and looked off towards the rising tide with n cheek suddenly blanching. "Miss Chuloncr, what is tho mat ter?" shrieked Mrs. Elton. "We tiro cut off from tho main land," said Juliet iu it low voice. "Tho tiib; is coming up, an I half an hour from now this point will bo sub merged. Why did wo not think of that:' Tho boat, Harry quick !" ' lint. Miss Chaloner," pleaded thoughtful 15 ssie, "if we wero to run the water is surely not higher than our waists. " "My dear, t he neck of land is half a mile uw.iy, an I the tide is rising at a fearful rate, (let into the boat, Mrs. Elton." "M.iinnia! mamma!" wailed tho children iu chorus, while Mrs. Elton, pale ami trembling, and incapable of cfl'oi'l, sat on the rock. 'T cannot move," sho stammered. "1 really think that I (tin going to faint. " But even while the words wero on her lips, Juliet's aim encircled her waist and Juliet's strength guided her to the littlo bout that luy rocking on tho waves. It was very small, containing but two seats, mi 1 when Mrs. Eltou and her live children Mere ensconced therein, every nook iu it was occu pied, "There is no room for Mis Chal oner!" cried Hurry. Mrs. Elton looked feebly around. "(live mo Bosu let me hold Rosa in my lap," she faltered, scarcely knowing what she said. Put Juliet unloosed tho loop of rope that fastonod the boat to a pro jecting rock, and tiling it out upon tho waves. "Tho boat is overloaded nlrc.'.d v. " she said, iu a calm voice. ''Push off Harry." The generous heart of tho boy roso up with a choking throb, "Miss Chaloner! and lenvo you here to perish?" "Listen, Harry," she said, hurried ly, "How homo as fast us you can. Two hours will take you there, ami theu thou you can send tho boat for me." And as the words trembled on her tongue, Juliet Chaloner glanced over her shoulder tit tho white-crested fringes of foam slowly creeping up the sands, and knew that, two hours front that tint', it would all be one wild tossing mass of wnves! Slowly the black outline of tho bout faded into iudistinotiioss.growing less ami less. Tho sun hung above sea, while tho blue cloudless sky smiled overhead. Nature wits full of soft repose and yet Ju'.'et stood with clasped hands uud silent endurance waiting for the death w hich was drawing nearer nud nearer the stern, relentless death whoso horrors never seemed so ghastly as now. '' "And he will be at home hero to night," sho murmured. "My God! my (iod !" The thunder of the cruel waves was in her curs the moaning of tho surf and she kuow no more. ' Send i boat back to Blvdeti's Point?" echoed tho old boatman. "Bless my i.onrt, ir! Biydcti's Potn', is seven foot under tho water by this time !" "And Miss (!haloner?"shriokod Mrs. Elton. "Tho Lord hnvo mercy on her soul !'' solemnly uttered tho old man, taking off his cap. "Oh, Juliet! Juliet!" gaspod Mrs. Elton, wringing her bauds, "what Bhall 1 say to my brother when ho nsks for von?" The soft light of a shaded lamp fell across Juliet Chnlouer's eyes, us sho ope ned them with a vague sense of having passed through a wild, troubled dream. "Where nm I?" sho murmured. You here, Clarence?" "My love," teuderly responded tho well known tones "But how camo I here?" sho itsked, shuddering, ns sho remembered tho sands nud tho water. Then Clarence Seville told her how, coming front tho nearest railway sta tion by boat, instead of tho stage route, ho had caught sight of n white object ou tho sands at Brudon's Point. Bidding tho boatman row up to it with nil possible speed, he found him self just iu time to rescue her from death. "God's hand guided me there dear est," he said impressively. "My noble girl ! were it possible to lovo you better than I did before, this net of self-suorilieo would move mo to do so." Front that hour Mrs. Elton cherished nud reverenced Miss Chaloner ns if she had been a saint ; for to her thcro seemeil something more than human iu the noble self-abnegation of Juliet'd courage! Xew York News. Curious tacts Concerning Hearing'. An inquiry was recently made in London us to the greatest distance at which u man's voica could bo heard, leaving, of course, tho telephone out of consideration. The reply was most interesting, nud was as follows: Eighteen miles is tho longest distance on record at which a man's voice has been In nrd. This occurred in Grand Canon, on tho Colorado, where ono man shouting tho naino "Bob" at oii end, his voice was plainly heard at the other end, w hich is 18 miles nway. Lieutenant Foster, on Parry's third Arctic expedition, found that hecotild converse with a man across the harbor of Port Buweu, a distance of Gfiflfi feet, or about one mile and a quarter; and Sir John Franklin conversed with ease at a distance of more than a mile. Dr. Young records that at Gib raltar tho li it nut ii voice has been heard at n distance of tell miles. Sound has remarkable force iu water. Collndoti, by experiments undo in the Lake of Geneva, that n bell submerged in tho sen might bo heard at a distance of inert) than 0 miles. Franklin says that ho hoard the striking together of two stones in tho witter half it mile away. Over water or a sin face of ice sound is pro pagated with great clearness and strength. Dr. Hutton relates that on it quiet part of tho Thames near Chel sea, he could heal it person read dis tinctly at the distance of 1-10 feet, while on laud tho same could only bo heard "Ii feet. Professor Tyndall.whon on tho Mont Blanc, found the report of a pistol shot no louder than the pop of a chanipiigiio bottle. Persons in n balloon can hear voices from the earth a long time after they themselves are inaudible to people below. Harpers' Bound-Table, All Fpidomic of Toothache. One of tho most curious features of the Chitrul campaign is the extraor dinary prevalence of toothache among the officers. The matter is receiving the serious attention of tho medical authorities, nud it is hoped that some very interesting statistical results will be gained from tho careful investiga tion which is now taking place. Tho epidemic first made its uppenrauco after the activo operations wero over, and tho various regiments had re ceived orders to stand last for tlio summer, and reached its most violent form just before tho long-expected order to partially evacuate tho coun try had arrived. Is not nil epidemic of toothache something very unusual? Westminster i.i.-ttc. Nothing in It.

A MSK-Vi:.VIt-OI.I I'.Sdl.ISM KINO. When King John of l',iiglolid,dled, his son Henry was only iniio years old. What a little boy to bo king, you say, and so he wa-. But ho had n wise guardian to take care of him, the Earl of Pembroke, who tried hard to restore peace and order to the laud. When he died Henry acted so bad thut there was little but quarreling and lighting for tho rest of his life. Hotiiedto rob people and get a great deal of money from them, and he brought, over a number of French men uud jus them in tho place of English nobles; so tho batons, head, ed by one brave man called Simon do Moutfort, rebelled against him, ami took him and his bravo sou Edward prisoner fit the battle of Lewes. D i Mont told then called together tho bishops and barons and certain men front every town and county to talk together and arrange about tho affairs of state. This was called a parliament, and it was lied that no English king could make the people pay money without tho consent of parliament. This is important for you to remember. After a time l'lineo E hvard, I lenry's son, got out of pri-on, escaped from his guards, on a licet horse which somo friends had conveyed to him, and collected nn army to light against Do Moutfort. A great battle took place at Evesham, iu which Do Mont fort was killed and Henry was set free. This was iu ll!f." and seven years later Henry died. During the reign of Henry III. tho English people first began to make linen from flax and to use caudles in stead of wooden torches; tho first li cense to dig coal was nUo granted to the people of Newcastle; gold coins were also first used. So you see somo improvements were made during this long ami unique reign of Henry III. besides tho very important arrange ment that uo king or queen could make tho people pay them money or, ns it is culled, "pay taxes" without, tho consent of purliantont.

NO MORIi WORK. Wizard Edison Pre 'licta All Labor Will be Abolished. Electricity the Geni to Produce a LaborlesR World. Mr. Edison predicted tho other day that work would bo altogether abolished in tho next generation, uud that our only labor would be to press a button and start tho machinery going, says tho Now Orleans "Times Democrat." Mr. Edison may bo slightly wrong as to tho generation that is, it may take longer, u few mora generations than ho iiiiaiingod, but that the drift is in tho direction ho i't dicates, nud that actual labor will bo conic a very small element, in all in dustries, is self-evident. Steam did n great deal to free in from tlio curse of labor; but el ctrieity is a far more potential instrument, and its uses seem almost limitless. We have ma do it do our lighting, our transportation and a thousand small jobs, but wo hnvo only just begun to uso it. Hitherto this mighty geni has b-seu brought into play mainly iu the Held of manufactures, nud man issttll com pelled to labor hard to glow crops; but thero is a disposition to uso elec tricity more ami more in agriculture, and it seems to be even better suited for tho field than for tlio workshop. In Saxony they ale now plowing by electricity with great success, using au ordinary dynamo, and doing nway with horses and men ton largo extent. Iu the D partuieitt of Tarn, France, n water wheel is ma do to givo suffi cient force ami to develop cuough electricity to cultivate the farm, so that tho little brook that runs through it saves the firmer nearly all labor. Iu Moravia a single dynamo furnishes three adjacent farms. Plowing by electricity is much cheaper nud bolter in all respects than plowing by steam. With a waterfall handy mid thero is ono handy to nearly every farm iu the country, save in tli.) southern lowlands and ordi nary intelligence, thero is no reason why all the hard work of tho farm from butter making to the thrashing of gram, sh.xild not Iu ceoiiom icaliy dono by a well distributed electric plunt. French experiments have fur ther shown that the distribution of electricity through tho soil by means of ordinary ciirrenl-beariug wires stimulates tho growth of plants and increases tho yield. It is not nncesiary to go into fur ther particulars. We have mentioned tho work dono on th; farm as a sam ple of tiie electrical development go ing ou in a field of which we hear very littlo -agriculture. Tnc farm as well as the city is to bo benefited by this new force, and the farmer, as well us tho city merchant, will simply touch a button and have electricity do all his plowing for him. E li-.nn is not a dreamer. No ono can seriously doubt his prediction, but tho only question is, when will we enjoy that lnborlcss world which he promises us? Cincinnati Coiiiincrcial-Gaette. The l'i;gs and Hie Humorists. "Yes, I had to move tho eggs jiff tho counter," said the Indiana street druggist. "There nro too many bright men in this neighborhood, that's tho reason." "A dish of nice white eggs sets off n soda counter, but 1 cit'i't put mine out without getting them dated. What? You never heard of dating eggs ? " "See that real estate office over there? Well, that fellow would come ov.t here for a drink and as soon as I turned my back he would pick up an egg and murk it with a lead pencil 'April l.", lS'.I.V and set it back iu the dish so that anyone who camo up to the counti r could see it. Of course 1 couldn't see it behind tho counter. I've seen a man come in to order nn egg phosphate, but when he glanced at tho eggs and saw the olio on top tinted four or live mouths back he would weaken and take a plain live cent drink." "The real estate in in was tho first to do it. Hi- started the others, and they had nil sorts of fun with those eggs. I didn't mind much so long ns they dated the eggs ll'.IJ or 177(i, but when they dated them about a year back or wrote 'feathers' on them I thought the joke wns going a littlo too fnr. "The trouble wns, somo people who enmo in didn't know it was a joke. They thought the eggs were six or eight months old. That's why I have to keep tho eggs on the back shelf. Too many humorists in tho neighbor hood." Chicago Record. Sir Arthur Sullivan realize,! $50, 000 by his song, "Tho Lost Chord, ,; Ways of Black Swan. Tho black swans uost regularly in tho yard on a heap of peat, and during the whole period of incubation the initio bird shares tho duty of sitting. The female sits all night anil comes off at seven iu the morning. The initio sits through the day ami resigns at live iu the evening. But during the hist few days tho female takes a larger share of the duty, and on the day be fore tho eggs break she keeps the nest all tho time. Her maternal instinct is uwuko to tho importance of being on the spot'to render lirst aid to tho cyg nets on their coming into tho world. When tho timo comes for letting tho female out with her yoii'ig sho walks up to tho cngo where the malo bird is still confined, and has a little talk with him before taking her family down to tho water.

A Mother Hint Trees Her Nestlings. h is claimed by observer-, of birds that some of the feathered tribe will feed their young if they are caged and if they fall after it cert mi time to re lease them will bring them a p dsoned weed to eat that doith may end their captivity, About a week ago n the II olstein rnuch tho children captured a nest of thrco young orioles ami they were im mediately caged and huug in n tree.
