That is, you wouldn't think he knew it, from hia actions. He was just simply eood, handsome Earl Wendall of the '53 I had been firing for him about eigh teen mcnthc, and had come to love him as a brother.

Sometimes they would come themselves, then again they would send a messenger. It was that way all along. I have seen EaVl'a box full of flowers. He would accept them in every instance simply with a bow and a faint smile, returning hi thanks to the sender, throw them into his box, and that was the last of them until they withered; then he worild raise the box lid and cast them oat. seemingly unconscious and little, caring of stranger waa still at the Bash house. I knew from the turn affairs had taken, or were taking, that Earl and Bessie's wedding was 'off.' Although he never had told me as much, I knew that it couldn't be otherwise. "Ti e next trip we made was Earl's wed ding night, lie had on his overalls, and waa unusually solemn and morose, not speaking to or looking at me during the run of hity miles. I was on the point once or twice of asking him if this was not his wedding night, but I did not, knowing too well that it waa either indefinitely postponed or off forever.

" 'I'm sorry,' was her comforting reply. "I congratulated them, as under the cir cumstances I was compelled to do, but I could better have wrung the villain's neck; for I had come to the conclusion that he was a villain.

"This conversation-took place on Wednes day, I believe. When we stopped for supper again it waa on Friday- It took us two days to make the round trip,aa we were on the mixed freight, and you kno-w they gererally take their time. "JFhen .we walked into the hotel office Bessie introduced a stranger to Earl and my self, aa a Mr. Eubanks. I did not think anything about it much, but I noticed a dark scowl earned on Earl's handsome face. "It looked aa though Bessie was rather attentive to the stranger and was less to Earl, but I thought that waa only natural, as he was a stranger and Earl an old acquaintance, it was one of old Bush's hobbies to make ev ery stranger feel at home while at his house. Probably this waa more to gain custom than anything else; I don't know. Ilowever Earl ate hia supper in silence, and waa off again to his engine before I waa half through. I left the stranger and Bess in the office to gether, chatting very pleasantly. 'Do you know Mr. Eubanks, Tom? asked Earl when I got to the engine, potting a great deal of strew on the 'Mr.' part of his question. . " 'I do not,' I replied. 'Why?' "'Nothing,' he replied. "We made the balance of the run in silence. I don't think Earl spoke a word. I could tell though he was writhing in the agonies of jealousy. .

Many people do not know how easily they can protect themselves and children against the bites of gnats and other insects. Weak carbolic acid sponged on the skin and hair, and some cases the clothing, will drive away the whole tribe. A great many childen and not a few adults are tormented throughout the whole summer by minute enemies. We know persons who are afraid of pic nica and even of their own gardens on this account. the proprietor's most sanguine expectations. Clothing is an imperfect protection, for wo have seen a child whose foot and anklo had A GIRL SNAKE CATCHER. been stung through the stockings so severely that for days she couli: not wear a leather shoe. All this can be averted according to our experience, and that we believe of many others, by carbolic acid judiciously used. The safest plan is to keep a solution of tho acid. The solution should not contain more than six or seven per cent and it may be aided to water until the latter smells strong ly. This may readily and with perfect safety be applied with a sponge, we have no doubt that horses and cattle may be protect ed in the same way from tho flics which THE CHARMING MASSACHUSETTS DAMSEL WHO 18 A DEVOTEE TO OPHIOLOGY. .

If he inquired of the bishop aa to his name he must have failed to catch it, for he certainly had no idea to whom he was speaking. iZis request for the stranger to preach was therefore expressed in the most formal and constrained manner. The stranger readily agreed to fill the pulpit, and the pastor's chagrin was evident as he resigned himself to his fate. The bishop preached one of his powerful sermons, and everybody in the audience whispered to his neighbor, "If ho is he?" Before he had taken his seat, the pastor had him by the hand.

The strike continued and the supplies of the men became exhausted. Miners at neighboring collieries who were at work responded to the requests of their striking brethren for aid, and sent them a wagon-load of supplies of various kinds. These were taken in charge by a committee and stored in a building from which they were to be distributed to the neediest f tho neediest of the miners. The first night tho store was raided by the rats, and everything devoured or carried away. Four different loads of supplies were furnished in this way, but the rats got the biggest share of them.

A STORY OF THE KAISER. HOW HE REWARDED A CLEAR-HEADED WORK MAN IN KRUPP'S FACTORY. The Emperor displayed great interest in the working of the steam hammer, and Herr Krupp took the opportunity of speaking in high praises of the workman who had special charge of it.

From the New York World. The special coach was painted white, with bands of dull brown red. It was divided into four compartments. The compartment at the upper end of the car was shot off from the other portion. This was fitted up in dull red leather. It was the same style of compartment found in the average English first-class railway coach. It was .intended for the servants. Back of this was the sa loon compartment, which occupied about half the space of the car. This car was fur nished with an Axminster. carpet and red leather covered furniture. Along each side of the saloon were two great leather sofas, but their backs were so narrow that one one could not sit upon them comfortably. The only position of comforfwould be found in a reclining posture. At the end of tho car and facing backward was a long, padded, high backed, continuous seat,, capable of holding four or five people comfortably, but on this seat there were only two places where anyone could look out of the window. J ust be yond this saloon there was a small, narrow wash room, no larger and no better fitted up than those on many of the day coaches on the Pennsylvania railroad. Beyond this lavatory was another compartment about as. large as the one at the opposite end. This had a long leather seat against the back, ere were the only comfortable seats in- the car riage. Its svstem of .ventilation was as bad as that of the ordinary English railway coach. r..r f : - ri 4 ti ! Mi 6: 1 1 r " , I ii i! .1 J1 A) h ft:
