T was toward the close of a -summer evening in New . York, and those who imagine, that August in a ' hot city is to be ranked among the intoler ables would have been very muoh surprised could they nave seen Mr. Santley Yorke reading the evening paper by his win , dow-in-the Hotel Veronese, with the cool sea breeze stirring the curtains, - and a glass' of iced Apollinaris water and plate of strawberries on the table beside him. ' , "For real solid comfort, "said Mr. Yorke he was ' no longer a young man, and : had learned to smile at many of . the "delusions of earlier youth "give me the city, no matter - what the calendar is." He had jnst folded, his paper so as to get. at the editorial column, when the bell-boy brought in a telegram. MAhi' murmured Yc.ke, as he perused its contents. "oast a3 I s thought.

TOIBTI m TTI Af IT morning, ,very sleepy and somewhat inclined to be cross. Mrs. Dedlock Dolby who had a bouse party of tensor a dozen people Staying in a mansion big enough and ' airy enough for a summer hotel re ived"him at a private breakfast in her own sitting-room, in a charming - matineo of blue muslin, and fluttering ribbons. 'r . , ':: "'It's so kind of you, dear Mr. - Yorke!" said she. "Bat Dedlock is salmon fishing in the Saguenay Kiver, - and I did not know what to do o" Y, where to turn. Such a dreadful " thin?, you know and of course I feel entirely responsible!",. Mr. Yore stared' at her as he took ' his cup of frothing chocolate from her dainty, ringed hands. . " "I beg your pardon, Mrs. Dolby, n said he, "but you did not mention to me exacwy wu&i imp utjjjcuoi . "Ob,didn't I tell you? So very rid wulous of lie I But I'm so perfectly upset, you see !

Mr. Yorke cut his little broiled bird into. dainty bits and scattered ax&2&M I rpper over it. j" "I always expected Pet to coma to some preposterous end," said he. "The : Worcestershire, sauce, please ! And how about Diana?" .. )Ji is a darling!" enthusiastically uttered Mrs., Dolby. r'A thousand, times wiser than Pet, though she's three years younger. 1 And Di is grow ing prettier every day.

'But ; itfa such ' a comfort to have one's famJy lawyer to consult with I" ur Mrs. Dolby, enthusiastically. And now you're, down here, yWll stay fwr a few days? Dedlock will retail in a week, tnd I want yon to fcieak tnenews to him. Do slay, Mr. Yevke f " - Do star, Mr. Yorke," pleaded a sweet voice behiud him ; and he turned ti see Diana Dolby, a beautiful young binnelte, with a complexion like creamy velvet and large, melting eyes. 'Pet and Felix Francaletti have hope lessly disorganized all our plans, and we must have some one to help us out" "Even such an old fellow as I am?" laughed Yorke, holding the slim, little hand a second or two longer than was absolutely necessary. D; cast a sweet, sidelong glance at him", full of bewildering, jetty light.; "Oh, you're not so . very old," said she, demurely J and Yorke relinquished his clasp. Yes, he was certainly verging to ward forty, and. Di was only seven teen! . ' Mrs. Dolby laughed; as if it were an excellent joke. Mrs. Dolby, he remembered, bit terly, was always lacking in tact and sense. What, was there to laugh at? All the rest of the house party, how ever, welcomed him rapturously, and in spite of himself he was drawn into the vortex of merry-making. Mrs. Appleby, a plump widow, who had once flirted with him in the long ago before she married the : defunct Appleby, showed a remarkable anxi- ety to pick up the thread of sentiment just as they had left it in the old days, and, to avoid her rather passee smiles, Yorke found himself unavoidably forced into the younger circles. ' And it was surprising how heartily he enjoyed it ! "Kealiy I" cried Mrs. Dolby, one morning. . "Tableauxs 1 After Mrs. 'Appleby and I went up stairs last night? What did you have, chil dren?" - ' , 'Ob, lots of lovely things," said Cecile Montpensier. "The 'Huguenot Lovers, of course, and the 'Bride of Iifinomermoor.' and a delightful little private theatrical 'Ths Lovers' De cision.' Mr. Yorke was Peter Prim, and Di was Keturah Posey, and Jack Thorpe was the clergyman who mar tied 'em. He did look so clerical in mamma's white China crape shawL" 'Why didn't you call us ?" chirped Mrs. Appleby, archly. 'We didn't want any old people," explained .heedless Di ; and then she remembered herself, and colored red- der than any rose in 3 une. "That is, of course, we knew that mamma had a headache." ; Miss Montpensier relieved . the em barrassment of the situation by sud denly striking the grand opening chords of the , "Washington Post March" on the piano. - Kra. Dolby laughed r Mrs. Appleby turned away with a malicious toss of the head. ; "That minx," said she to herself "I'll teach her a lesson or two !" . . The next afternoon she seized the fortunate opportunity when Diana had gone into the rose garden to gather roses to decorate the drawing-room for the evening's dance. 1 t f -"OWyou are here, are yon?" said she. "Let's go into the summer houee and rest.", . t But Di was not pining for a tete-a-tete with the frisky widow. "X must cut these roses,"' said she, "Mamma is in a hurry." "But I want to speak to yon, Di-' ana. '.To speak to me? What about?1 Di's scissors gleamed nervously among the rose-stems. 'It's very particular business indeed," said Mrs. Appleby, holding her parasol so that the sun should not rudely touch her well-powdered ohcek. "A great secret." Diana lifted her large melting eyes. What can you possibly mean,' eaid she. i "I have never told a soul, about it," said the widow. "Bat such a thing happened onoe at a house where I was staying before dear Appleby died, and the judge decided that it was a gen uine ceremony." The roses fell in a crimson drift on the grass y the basket rolled away. : "What are you talking about, Mrs. Appleby?" cried Di, all in a flutter. ' "Nothing,'. said the widow, vindic tively, .'except that you're really, legally married to that New York man!" , "I?" echoed Di. "Married?" He can insist upon it if he chooses," announced Mrs. Appleby. "A man twice your age ! And I must say, Di ana Dolby, that you richly v deserve this awful doom, flirting and carrying on as you hate done. -Yes, I must re iterate that it serves you right 1", , Between every sentence she paused, as if for a reply, but Di kept supreme ly silent. ' She was slowly gathering up her roses into ; the pink-ribboned basket once more. ' "What have you to say for your self?" viciously demanded Mrs. Ap pleby, giving the girl's Bhoulder a lit tle shake. : "Answer, you pert minx!" , "Let go my arm lM cried Di. "And I'm not a minx !" ' 'You're married yes, married to that old man 1" hysterically cried the widow. . Well, what if I am?" retorted Di ana, driven at 'last to some active re sponse. "He's as handsome as Apollo and I like him! And I'd as soon ba married to him as not. I never did care for boys. . Go away, Mrs. Apple by, and leave me to finish picking my roses.". ' . "Yon bold girl l" fluttered the ex asperated widow. "Never did I dream you would face it out lik this. Bat if you will solemnly promise never to speak to him again I'll say nothing of this dreadful complication 10 any one else. ; Promise Diana V "I won't," cried the girl. "I won't I won't I" ' s Just then Mrs. Appleby's maid was heard shrilly "calling for her. She darted one venomons glance at Di and vanished among the trailing briers of the roses. Diana sat down among her flowers, and began to cry. She had been plucky enough under fire ; but now a strange bewilderment came over her a ter ror for which she could not account and she started nervously as a rustling sounded from the summer house be yond. f - Could it be possible that some one was there? A strong, shapely hind put aside the fringes of the hammock suspended there a man's figure came down the steps and plunged into the fragrant .wilderness of the rosery. j 'Di!" said Santley Yorke.. "My little pearl among pearls I Look up and say the enchanted words again, lou do like me? You wonld as soon oe married to me as not?" "She she drove me to it!" fal tered Di. ;Yes, the first time. Now let me win you to it the second time. Look into my eyes, sweet Di. Speak from your heart." And there, among the roses, pretty Di lifted her shy glance to his face and utfcered the dictates of her girl heart. "J like you, Mr. Yorke. I would rather be married to you than not.'" He took her lovingly in her arms. "Then I'm not such an old fogy, after all?" ! ' 'You're just right," she whispered. "But is it true? Are we really mar- : ried? . 4 'No, dearest, we are not married all that is only Mrs. Appleby's, hatred, malice and alliuncharitableness. But tve will be married." "Mr.-Yorkef-" began Di. Try Santley, darling," he inter posed.', "Stanley, then. How came you ia ie in the summer house?" , "Why; I was lying in the hammock looking over my mail, when, all of a sudden, I heard Mrs. Appleby scold ing yoa. Was it very wrong to listen?" "It was quite right," said Di, em phatically.' So there was a second wedding m the Dedlock Dolby family 'that sum mer. And Mrs. Appleby is no longer on the list of visitors at Dolby Beeches. Saturday Night. .. ,. A Model State Camp. The great State of New York, as be fitted her tank among her sister com monwealths, and profiting by, the ex periences of the railway riots of 1877, was among the. first to undertake the placing of her militia forces on a basis of efficiency, and to hold the troops in preparation for the sterner duties of the soldier. The establishment some years ago of the State Camp at Peek skill has proved the main factor in the surprising improvement in soldierly qualities and the, high state bt dis cipline iwhich are now characteristic of the National Guard of the State.- It would be hard indeed to find a more picturesque site or one better adapted for the purpose than the plateau on which the camp is pitched. Situated right at the entrance to the gorge of the Hudson Highlands, on a flat topped promontory jutting out from the high hills surrounding it on three ( sides, the canvas of the tents, creamy white in the bright sunshine, gleams in contrast with the dark verdu"e be yond, while, stretching in la telike ex panse to the heights on the. opposite shore, the broad river curves, disap pearing around the rocky bluffa to the north. On two Bides smooth parades stretch' to the edge of the grassy plain -ideal "drill-grounds for any branch of the service, horse, foot or dragoons; and the surrounding conn try, wooded and hilly, crossed by winding roads and dotted with clear ings, offers opportunities for manoaa vres and exercises in minor tactics. Hard work is done at the camp ; there is but little leisure, and the mi litiaman's time is fully occupied. At five o'clock, with the boom of the morning gun and the sonorous rolling of the diums beating reveille, " the camp wakens to the work of the day,' and the long streets of tents swarm with men, as at the call for assembly the companies spring ' into ranks, and the monotonous tones of the sergeants' voices are heard calling the roll. Then, as the ranks are broken, the re ports are made, and the soldiers scat ter to make the rough camp toilet and prepare for the morning drill soon to follow. At 7.30 the drums over at the guard tent rattle 'Pease upon a trencher," and the companies swing off with measured tread to breakfast in the mess-hall, from which they return to police the quarters and place every thing in order for the daily recurring inspection. All over the camp the men are busy as bee6, sweeping, roll ing up tent walls, making up the beds, removing rubbish, scouring cups and basins, raising tent floors aud placing everything in apple-pie order. Har per's Weekly. Issued Once a Year. : Apropos of curious newspapers, the Esquimaux Bulletin is certainly the most curious in the world. It is printed at Cape Prince of Wales, Alaska, in latitude fifty-four degrees forty minutes, and claims ta be the only journal published within the Arctic Circle, while it is issued only once a year. . . Thi3 little paper is printed on stiff white paper, on one side only, the size of the sheet being twelve by eight inches. It is printed not from type, but by the hectograph process, and cqntains a variety of news, arranged under different heads. In mirthful imitation of the daily papers in, other localities, it triumphantly carries at the head of its columns the legend, "Largest Circulation in the Arctic," and also the additional boast of "Only yearly newspaper in the world." The Esquimaux Bulletin is in error, how ever, in assuming this sub-title. Has our contemporary seen a copy of the Atnaglintit? . ve That is also a yearly paper, and it is published in about the same latitude as the Esquimaux Bulletin, at Goot haab, in Greenland. A "Parisian onrnal, the XXe Siecle, appears once year, but that is only to secure the Ijhfto the title when the twentieth century becomes a fact. . - FARM AND HOUSEHOLD. THE BENEFIT of BRTMTJIG OATS. .t all oats could be run through the mill it onld make better feed for horses. The reason has been given many times. Both the grain and chaff digests better, and the indigestible woody fibre of both being broken ad mits of -the action of the stomacn more freely and fnlly. Careful feed ers of horses know that in feeding oats, especially the whole grain, jnuch depends upon the nature of the hull or chaff. It is not always the heavi est grain that gives the best results. That whichis much above the stand ard weight has most often a rough, gritty chaff which so acts on the stomach as to expel much of the grain in an indigested state. The hull, however soft in texture, is laxa tive, and a modern degree of laxative ness is beneficial, especially to breed ing animals, but there is no gain in passing through the heaviest grain, in a nearly whole state. Better ute a light grain,' which will be more thor oughly digested. It is commonly supposed that "the oats which sells for the highest price is the best feed, but it is , not always the case. Farming World. rSE OP INSECTICIDES. tTarmers' Bulletin No. 19, issued by the Department of Agriculture, gives some directions concerning the prep aration and use of a few of "the in secticide agents having the widest range and attended with the greatest usefulness, economy and ease of ap- nliftfttion- There are constant calls for information of the character con tained in the Bulletin, and the effort has been made to give in a concise yet complete manner the best methods of preparing and applying the remedies suggested by which the best results can be obtained. L . The overwhelming experience of the past dozen years, the Bulletin says, makes it almost-unnecessary to. urge on the ground of pecuniary returns the adoption of the measures recom mended against insects. To emphasize the value of such practice it is only necessary to call attention to the fact that the loss to orchard, garden and farm crops frequently amounts to from fifteen to seventy-five ; per cent. of the entire product, and innumer able instances could be pointed out where such loss has been sustained year alter year, while now, by the adoption of remedial measures, large yields are regularly secured with an insignificant expenditure for treat ment. It has been established that in the case of the ' apple crop spraying will protect from fifty to seventy-five per cent, of the fruit, which would otherwise be wormy, and that in actual marketing experience the price has been enhanced from $1 to $2.50 per barrel, and this at a cost of only about ten cents per tree for labor and ma terial. '." The cotton crop, which formerly, in years of bad infestation by the leaf worm, was estimated to be injured to the extent of $50,000,000, is now com paratively free from such injury, ow ing to the general use of arsenicals. Facts of like import could be ad duced in regard to many other lead ing staples, but the foregoing, the Bulletin says, are sufficient to empha size the money . value of intelligent action against insect enemies, which, with the present competition and diminishing prices," may represent the difference between a profit or a loss in agricultural operations.
