J. YOUNG. dec 8 la. LOVE ON A STEAMSHIP. BY WM T. PRICE. I stood OVer th nmr.nloiilr .t- promenade deck of the great tMmi5 watching my fellow-passenger ome aboard. Presently an old man and a young girl came op the plank. Of the two the young girl most interested me I felt a peculiar satisfaction in observing her. A pleasurable thrill quickened my heart' pulsions, and even then, seeing her for the first time,s ira thing tild me that I would love her did love her. The first two days out. 1 was confined to my room, but I learned hat the young girl's name was Fairchild, that the tal slim man who accompanied her,' was her rather, and that he wa a consumptive. When, on the morning of the third. I came on deck, I found the father and daughter, side by side pacing the after deck ; he, cou-hing a great deal; she, ro sier than ever. All day I followed her with my eyes, admiring her gracefully gentle ways, and loving her more and more for her tenier d. voti n to her afflct ed father. I longed to avail mvself of that freemasonry by which, on board ship, no introductions are requir d before mak ing acquaintances. But all through the day the couple spoke to no one Beside, Mr. Fairchild had that air of coolnB which wards eff the approach of stran gers. Late that evening, when all but a few stragglers had turned in, I went on deck for a jittle exercise before turning in my self. The engines purred loudly, and tbe voices of the captain and the officers rn the bridge were au ible. The night was dark, and beyond the white phosphores cent Iteht immediately surrounding th steamer, the sea looked omniously Wack and every minute grew lougher. Great majestic waves rolled the ship from side I enjoyed the sight of those great dignified waves, so deliberate in their tremendous strength, and I continued on deck till near the end of the widnight watch The ves sel was now rolling aDd s raiuedfrightfully It had become impossib'e to walk, and as the ship lifted me high in the air, then lowered me almost into the sea, I clung to the rai iug, amidship, near their rooms htr ro m. But I had determined to get below, and while awaiting an opportnnity when I might reach tbe companion-way, I heard a door bang; somib)dycame sliding across the deck, and a tall man clung to tbe rail ing not far from where I stiod. It was Mr. Fairchild, who, I decided, had been unable to sleep, for he coughed unusually h ard. It was anful to hear him. He wore a loDg overcoat, in the pockets of which hewas searching, presumably, for a handkerchief. When the ship's side was high in tbe air, be let go his hold of the railing, and seaiched his poefcets with both hands. Then as we rolled over to ward the sea, there was a sudden violent pilch, and a furious wave d-tshed across the deck, drenching me, and forcing me to wind my arms around the railing and hang on deeper attd. But look! What was that black tbing, tossing in the phosphorescent light in tbe water? As the ship's side lifted, I heard a cry and in tbe phoph orescent light near tLe ship I sw two black arms wildly grasp ing in air. I looked toward thex place where tbe tall man had stood He was not there now My God, it was her fa ther! "Man overboard! For God's sake, stop the ship!" I sbouUd with all the strength of sound lungs and excitement The offi cers shouted orders from the bridge The vibrant hum of the engines ceased, but the mad splash and thump of the sea con tinued Again and again the life buojs were flung out toward the wildly grasping armsonly to miss them. A boat near the stern was lowering, but the heavy billows beat it against the ship's side with a terrible crash Andtlen far off .there in the steamer's wake, those wildly grasp ing arms sank into the merciless sea. As another mountaneous wave burst across tbe deck, almost beating out my breath and blinding me, an officer jumped down the fteps from the bridge, and strad died toward me sailor fa'hion. "Here! we don't waDt you over, too!" he shouted. "Give me your hand!" "But the man overboard?" I screamed any chance for him?" I lofct his an3wer in the sudden lurch opnt 11 a both banking against the com- panionway. As I stepped inside he held the door open, and shouted: "He could n,t swim. We lowered a bo.it, but it couldn't live in a sea like this." ' The iriant engines began to throb and hum. and he added: "We're under way No use ! In a sea like this, we can only say goodbye ! Who was hi ?" I told him, and beggtd that he would leave to me the task of communicating the unhappy news to the daughter. He granted my request and slammed the door. It now seemed natural that I should love that fair young girl; for now I was to be her prottctor, her comforter. Sleep was out of the qnestion. The skip rolled less and less violently, till toward morning, we steamed out of the storm into a calm sea. Just before daylight I went on deck and paced up and down near h r room, which I knew she could not leave without my seeing her. Presently she ap- peared and looked inqtringly around the deck I had not expected ber so early. While a sharp pain shot through me, for I knew too well for whom she was looking, I leaned against a davit to watch her. Yes 1 and to leave her happy a moment longer She carried her cap in her band, and her glorious face looked not unlike the inn itself. She stood on'y a few feet from me, but when her eyes met mine, conscious peruauB, oi me earned ness who wuica 1 was regarding htr, she turned her head shyly away. Then approaching her, 1 said quietly: -I Are you not looking for Mr. Fairchild? He ha3 gone below. Won't you walk for ward with me ? The dimples deepened in her cheeks, and she smi'ed Giving her no time to speak, I took her arm within mine, start ed forward, talking rapidly. With her arm lying confidingly in mine, we watched tbe sun creep up 'out of the sea. She bubblei on about one thing and another, and as I listened, I felt vaguely ashamed. Was I not the cat playing with the moust? But in these we love, it is 8- sweet to see happiness, and so hard to tear it away. While 1 summoned my courage, and sternly resolved to tell her what she must inevitably know, she tug ged at my arm, coaxing: "Come ! Wonjt you go hunting with me ? Let's go below after papa " Foreseeing that a vain search for her father would lessen the suddenness of the final shock, I yielded. Deliberately I con ducted her to the music room; the saloon ; through the pessages between the state room'; to the barber-shop; the bar; the smoking room; around the hurricane deck; to the Sicond cabin; the engine-room; tilt at last she Baid wonderingly: "Well! Well 1 Where ia papa, anj way ? You say he's below. . Do you thiak he' in the coal hole?" "Perhaps he's even farther below," I suggested expe rimentally. "Perhaps he's in the sea " She may have divined that I felt mare serious tnan I looked , for her lips quiver ed, and she queried: "In the sea ? I won't have you in the hunt if you talk that way " We renewed the search, now and then encountering early risers, whose sympa thies showed that they knew of the young girl's misfortune, and I signed them to forbear tpeaking Finally we reached a little reception-rKm over the saloon, where we sat down on the cuthioDed set tee, and drawing her to me,l said: "Dear, by what name did jour father call you ?" ''"Why do y u gay did? she frowned. "You mean what does he call me. He calls we Gertrude" "Weil, then," I said, 4 1 shall always call you Gertrude, because your father may never call you by that name." She started, looked into my eyes plead ingly, and said in a ttrange hurried way: "Is it so? Is papa no! I cn't believe it ! He used to say we must expect it any mo ment. But now he's going to some place in Europe to be cured. But how you look. I suspected something wrong all the time." She sprang to her feet, and, pulling my arm excit diy, pleaded: "Take me to bim, wou't you? Please do! Oh! You won't move! What shall I do?" t?he threw here f impulsively into my arms, presst d her flushed cheeks agains' mine, and dropped her head on my shoul der, sobbing bitterly. Gently I smoothed her forehead till she grew calm. Then with as much delicacy as ay blunt nature can command, I told her briefly what had happened in the last hour of the midnight watch. I could not then add the details. My emotions were chok ing me, and I knew that I had to remaiu calm; for she, poor girl, as she realized the fnli meaning of mv words, gave way to grief, and lay helpless in my embrace. The third night after that storm in the midnight watch, we stood on the landing stage in Liverpool. Thus far 1 had said nothing to her re girding what the had best do. nor had she asked But now I saw her locking at me with anxious inquiy,and I said "It's all rieht. little one. You've been a brave Gertrude. StHy brave a bit long er, say ten days and you'll be at home." But how ? How?" Bhe asked imprtient- iy. As we entered the building where the Custom House officers were inspecting our luggage, I answered: "This is howl This is Saturday night Wednesday afternoon the Guion steamer "Wyoming sails from Liverpool for New York, and you'll be a Wyoming passen ger" 4 But what am I to do till Wednesday?' she asked, handing her trunk keys to the inspector. "You say you must go on to London to begfn those newspaper things.' "I'm going ti take you up to London with me," I replied, pressing a half sov ereign in the inspector's hand, with a bint to skip our luggage. ."Then, on Wednes day, 1,11 return with you to Liverpool and see you off" "I don't sail back in that big ship alone!" she protest-jd. "Can't you sail back with me? You must!" I winced not having thought of this be fore. I bad contracted to remain in Lon dyn two years; my return now meant seri ous loss. But I would not abandon this lonely and troubled girl as long as she reeded me "Don't worry, Gertrude!" I ?aid. "The Wyoming shall carry at least two doira " eea- Before leaving Liverpool, I cabled the sad news to her mother and then we sped on to London by the midnight express, To be nearer the newspaper offices in ths Strand, and at the same time to be newer Gertrude, I took rooms ia the Royal Hotel, in Blackfr.ars. where we passed, very quietly, our three days in London. Wednesday we retnrued to Liverpool and on that afternoon 1 stood ou the land-irg-stage, and watched the Wyoming as she stemmed far, far down the Mersey, ev ery minute carrying Gertrude Fairch'll farther and farther away from my loviog care. At the last moment before going aboard -ihe Wyoming, we had met friends of Ger J trude'eand as they Were book- d for tbe 1 Wyoming, we explained me suaaiion w I them, and ' my darling love had sailed 1 in their company, After two years' work in London, dur- I ing which time I received stacks of let trrs from my pet, , she met me at the Cun- ard dock in New York. As I stepped from the ship's gang plank, she threw her ams savagely anound my neck, and cov ered my face with kisses Oh! you dear precious darlicg" she gushed. " ou're never going to cross tbe that horrid ocean again, are you? What an exquisite gown! Did you have it' made in London? Here's our carriage. We are going to carry you home and mike you the reigning belle, the lioness of the hour. But now let me introduce my husband, Lieutenant Potter, Troop S, United States Army, off on- furlough. Attention com pan !" . In the carriige she told me of her quiet weddir.g, which had taken place ouly a month before. We were so sorry you were not here for the wedding," she said, putting her hand in mine. But aren't vou soon to have a wedding of your owii? I'm sure the men over there fell in love wiih you. Now sj ! Aren't you going to have the wed ding, soon?"" No, Gertrude, not soon!" I replied, mournfully. I was born an old maid. And then the men tell me I'm too much like a man They say I'm a tyrant. No pet! I shall always i emain just plain Alias." Glen Cove, L. I. North Carolina Geoglogical Surveys. There is perhaps less known about these than any other of the State's mineral re sources. In middle and western North Carolina when a man in the country de sires a quantity of brick for building a bouse or chimn ys, he usually opens up his own clay bed, makes and burns his own brick. Tbe result of this sort ot work has bad rather a discouraging effect on persons who know good brick when they see them, as they travtl over diflereLt parts of the State and see so many cbim neys and even houses put up of br'.ck of inferior quality. But the inferior quality of these brick does not necessarily Indicnte the inferior quality of the clay from which ihey were made. In many cites it is due to the in experience of the brick maker, the impro per mixing of the clays, the improper burning, or otner causes. And so it often happens that we find in some places brick both of very good quality and very poor quali y made from the same clay. Tht many places in the State at which inferioi brick may be saen has given ris i to a wid- spread belief that brick of the best quali ty are not or cannot be made in North Carolina. Consequently in a number ef cases, people who desire to U3e first clasf biick have ordered thooa from other States. With a view to determlaing the exact quality of our clays, their distribution in the State and the put poses for which they are b' st adapted, the Geological survey inaugurated during the past year a careful examination of the clay deposits in all portions of the State. A large number of samph 8 havrf been collected and these are to be tested during tbe present winter in every way, and by every method which can throw any light on this question. In a number of cases the laboratory tests will be supplemented by furnace tests for tbe fire brick, and by factory tests of brick for ordinary purposes; and in the case of clays for the making of tile, sewer pipe. etc. The report on this subject, which it is hope d will be published next spring, will contain in addition to the informa tion thus gained in regard to the clys themselves, descriptions of the most ap proved machinery and methods form ing DriCK, Uie ami Bewer y,yu ui .uc u quality. In connection with these inves tigations, we have found that in a num ber of cases our brick makers are using the crudest sort of methods for the mix ing of their clays and tbe miking of the brick; and the officers of the suivey have received from many of them numerous applications for information along th's line. Hence it is hoped that th s report will be found useful not only by the per sons who desire information about our clay deposits, but also bv many of our own citizens who are engaged in tbe manufac ture of brick and other materials out of these clays, . All clay is the result of the rotting of rocks. The best of our c ays are found along the lowlands border the rivers and smaller streams, where they have be-n de posited by the action of slowly running water, the decayed rock having been wkshed down from the hillsides and the sand and other minerals in these rocks having been separatee from the clays through the &c ion of water, and deposit- ed in different localities. And thus it is to-day that the test brick made in the State, like those at Goldsboro, Pomona, Betbania, Fayetteville and Raleigh are made from these stream deposits. The lesu't of the explorations conduct ed during the year by the Geological Sur vey has been to show up very large qnan tities of clays ot exce lent quality along the lowlands of many, of onr important streams, such as the Neuse, Cape Fear, Yadkin.Catawba and others. Maty of the hfftt of these denoei s have never been opened up nor developed to any extent; but they prdenise Viat in the future as tbe demand urows for good brick and other c' il products, we may expect developed ir North Carolina large loans- ut in a pan ODC cake of chocolate, which by tfving tbe needed tone to the bowela. no good -tnto-lt back ta your trieaalongfisline.

The custom of making the candy that is used in the home has gained favor un til now it is an understood tbing in many a household that no candy shall be eaten but that which ia made at home, and which mother," consequently, knows is strictly pure. Then, too, the older bojs and girls enjoy horn ;mde candy more than the fancy bought cmdiea, and how can a winter a evening, whether ia town or country, be spent more pleasantly than in making candy. Theru is much' fun and pleasure to be had in the work, both for young and old. As I would suggest for any work that is to be done In tbe kitchen, whetber by mi-tress or maid, have everything ready b fore going into tbe work. But espe cially is it d sirable to do this in candy making, for while the taffy is boiling there is no time to hunt soda or the can dy will be scorched. Therefore, have all materials and implements that are necet- sary ia the preparatioa of these d fferent receipts gathered together au the cook table before starting in, and you will find, I can assure you, much more success in your attempt, as well as a saving of labor and temper. If one ia a beginner in . can dy making, the most simple receipts should be tried first by all means, for to make good candy is no joke. But if your sugar lumps or your molasses turns to sugr tbe first time you try, don,t be dis couraged, but try agaia mine did this, too. v Creamed dates is one of the most sim p e candies to begin with. Take a pound of confectioners' white sugr or, if this cannot be secured, pulverised sugar will answer the purpose, mix it with the whites of about three eggs the amount of eggs must be determined by the quality, not quantity, as some eggs are larger and fresher than others, and will beat up to more effectl, which ehall have previously been beaten until tbe plate can be turned bottom side up without their dropping off rhis would be mixed to the consistency wf a moderately bi iff paste. Flavor with vanilla. .Take a small portion ia the hand, ana flatten it, place the date, which should already have tue seed taken out, on the paste, and wrapp ng around the fruit, lay on a greased paper to harden. The materials to be prepared before starting in to make this simple sweetmeat are, have the sugar in the basin ia which tbe candy is to be made; the eggs separ ate and beaten stiff; the vanilla at hand, and the fruit seeded. If you aremaking one kind of ca dy in which the whites of eggs are used, aud you want to be economical, it is well to use the yolks of your eggs ia making Mar guerettes. Beat together oue poujd of sugar, three-quarters of a pound ot butter and yolkes of six eggs Sift in a pound and a half of flour, and a glass of rose water and one tiblespoonful of mixed spices; roll about half an inch thick, cut iu cakes and bake quickly. When cool cover with tait jelly. Make icing, flavor with extract of lemon, and put thick on top of each cake. Set ia a very hot oven for a minute to brown. As a last suggestion, I am going to give you my favorite candy of all the lot marsbmallows. These are rather tedi ous and difkult to make, but the result is so delightful that the work is soon for gotten. Dissolve six ounces of gum ara ble in a small cup of bo. ling water, strain carefully and add to a pound and a half of sugar. Set on the fire to heat in a kettle of boiling water; stir until very stiff and white; take from the fire, stir two or three minutes and set away to cool. Cut small pit as of th paste when cold, about) tbe size of an almond, put some cream, made as for dates, into a small sauce pan, set in boJ,ing water,8tir over the Hre gently. . . . f marBhm.,jowa ito cream, turn with a fork, lifi out and lay on greased paper. Follow these directions in detail, no m ttter if some of the little things seem unimportant; be careful just the samend I know you will have succa3s. If the first attempt is not to your notion, consult the receipt and try a s cond time, following directions accurately. Hickorynut Candy Two cups of sugar, half a cap of water, boil until thick, fla vor with extract of lmon, stir in one cup of hickorynut meats and turn ia large, flit dish. When cool mark into squares. Another way to use these nuts is to make hickorynut taffy. Take a quart of molasses New Orleans is the best, place on tht fire and let boil until you find it is tallying, by placing a little in water to try it. Put a pinch of soda in and- about a tablespoonful of water: stir quickly, and empty in the nuts and take of the fire, fct rring constantly. Care must be taken .Qat molasses do not burn after oda ig put in a8 it wju do this very quickly. A cup of granulated sugar and two cups of molasses may be used, if you prefer not to have it all molasses. A lit tle vinegar may a'so be added, if you want it brittle. Chocolate Creams. Two cups of sugar and and one half cup of cream boiled for five minutes, from the time it begins to boil, not from the time it is set on the stove. Take on the nre, navor, but nam stiff and then drop on a buttered plate or e se make out in forms of pyramids and set aside to cool. While this is cooling allowed to steam; roll the creams into this and then place back on the plate to harden. Kiseet Beat the whites of six eggs un til frothy, add half pound of tugar.beating until very stiff, drop a spoonful at a time no buttered paper. Place the paper on back ing tins, sift lightly with powdered sugar and put in a quick oven. Whn firm take out, remove from the paper carefully .scoop out the centre and return to tbe oven dry. Fill the centers with whipped cream and put two together. Chocolate Caramels Put hlf a pound of chocolate, half a teacup of molasses, a cup of aweet milk, two pounds, of brown . . I sugar ana two ounces or butter In a por celain kettle, set on the fire, let heat slow ly, then boii until stiff. Take from the fireavor with vanilla, turn Into a greased pan; when partly cool mark in tqures with a dull knife and stand in a cool place to harden. Cieam Walnuts This can be made in the same way that has been given for cream dates, or boil two pound of sugar and a teacup of water together until it threads. Flavor with vanilla: take from the fire and stir until white and creamy. Have walnut meats prepared. Make the candy in small cakes, press the walnuts into the sides aud roll into granulated su gar. Cocoanut Candy-One and a half pounds I of white sugar, one pound of grated co coanut; add the milk of the cocoanut to sugar boil five minutes, put in the grated cocoanut; boil ten minutes longer, stirring constantly to keep from burning; pour on buttered plates to harden. Macaroons are a delicious confection. To make them, blanch and pound fine pound of sweet almonds; whip the whites of seven eggs, add one pound of sugar, mix well, drop on buttered paper, sift su gar over and bake quickly. Cocoanut Caramals One pint cf milk one tablespoonful of butter, one grated cocoanut, three pounds of white sugar, two teaspoonfula of extract of lemon; boil slowly until stiff, pour in buttered pans and mark in squares. THE PAID CHOIR. Unnecessary Economy in Church Music a Grievous Mistake. It is very difficult for some very excel lent and otherwise broad-minded church people to realize that good music is one of the most powerful auxiliaries to success ful church work," writes Edward W. Bok in the December Ladies' Home Journal Music naturally appeals to a far larger number of people than preaching ever has oi can, no matter how goad its quality. A church desirous of reaching the largest number of people and doing the greatest amount of good must adjust itself to prevailing conditions. If good music will attract where other at tractions fail, why not employ this auxil iary ? But good chutch music can rarely be had from a volunteer choir. And I say this with all due respect to the thou sands who each Sunday throughout our countryvolunteer their services in divine song. There are innumerable esses where a paid choir is out ot the question. I have known of such instances where tbe sing ing by volunteer choirs was good. But they are exceptions ; by no means the rule. And it stands to reason that this should be so Excellence in any kind of work calls for study and preparation To be a good singer requires years of study and training. And years of hard, prac tical work must follow the study period. The voice must be cultivated. It must be trained And this calls for in finite patience, time acd money Trained voices naturally cannot be expected to give the results of all this without com pensation. And the f set that their ser vices are asked by the church and in tbe cause of religion does not effect the justice of remuneration. Ministers and janitors are paid, and so should our church singers if thevhave good voices. Where a church is able to maintain a paid choir, and seeks to economize with volunteer voices, there is, in particular, a grievous mistake c- mmitted. Music bath charms, it hss been truly said, and it has to every one. A church able to spend something on its music cannot afford to have aught but tbe best it is within its means to em ploy Those who regulate the affairs cf our churches shou'd bear this fact in mind in connection with their regular services in the new year before them. There wou'd be far fewer empty pews in s-me ot our churches during 1897 if there were better voices in the choirs." "When Baby was sick, we gave Vr Ortorla.
