However, .Mimes plan ot campaign collapsed like a hulible When Mr. Macintosh rose from his chair, Millie collected herself with an effort, and, advancing, held out a little gloved paw. "How do you do, Mr. Macintosh?" she paid. "Thank you" he. replied, after n mo , incut's hesitation, "1 am very well " iThen, as Millie continued standing, he ml led, handing her a chair, "Won't you nil dowu?" Millie seated herself. "KrI expected to fln.l mamma here." said the young lady, after an awkward silence of quite a minute's duration. "O, I see," replied Mr. Macintosh. Then an appalling Idea Hashed .through her brain. Her mother and iMr. Macintosh had discovered their lluistake already. In one short week lliey had fallen out! They even trav eled separately! Doubtless he had iiniirrled her for her money, and her Hint her had discovered this. "I hud Is-tter not say too much alnuit 'tmiinmn until I know exactly how the land lies." .Millie decided. "I may only agurnvntt their differences." After a 'ong and awkward pause Mr. Macintosh suggested that crhaps she might like to look at the Kngllsh illus 4 rated papers while she was waiting. "I have a bundle of them In my car ry all," he said; "I'll get them for you." While Iih wn absent Millie reviewed the situation again. "I hope he won't le as severely polite us this always," she thought. "It's evident that I shall have to break the Ice. I will let him see that, however Itie may have fallen out with poor inaui Jiih. I Intend to be friendly." I Miring ten Millie told him numerous auccdotcft about her life at Frauleln IlnUHHinaiin's, after which ho retali ated In the gayest fashion with stories of Oxford 'Varsity, Thus they passed the time away until the Urst dinner gong sounded. This reminded Millie of the flight of hours. "I had forgotten all about mamma! When will she bo here?" she ex claimed. "l'osslbly she Is blocked on the line," murmured Mr. .Macintosh. "At any rate, you had better dine here while you wait lor her." Hut Mr Macintosh's careless refer ence to hi r mother Jarred on her and damped l.er spirits. Things were evi dently very bad Indeed. Ills Indiffer ence to his wife's whereabouts was pos itively shameful. Hilling dinner, therefore, she was quieter, so Mr. Macintosh had to do the lion's shun of the talking. And so well did he perform his task that Millie had to confess that her stepfather wus a very channiug young man, and that It was a thousand pities he could uot get on with Ids wife. "I must try and nia'te the peace," she thought; "meanwhile my best plan will be to lie us pleasant as possible concil iatory, In fact " Inspired by this Idea she made no ob jection when he suggested n stroll on the boulevards. She Insisted on his smoking, she prattled to him while he enjoyed his cigar, she leant on his prof fered arm, and, Indeed, made a con sclentlous effort to Impress lilin with the fact that she was u nice girl, and, though a stepdaughter, would not be tin Incumbrance or n bother to lilin. nd whi n they got back to the hotel after a llltle hesitation, as they were separating for the night, she stood on tiptoe anil administered to his brow a pure, daughterly kiss. "Well," observed Mr. Macintosh, uft er she had vanished, "of all the expert' euces I've ever had, this certainly takes the cake." Now, it portion of the above was told to the present historian by Mr. Hick Macintosh, and part by his wife. I have merely Interwoven their accounts. The end of the- story I also obtained from both, but Dick's account was the best. Millie was very reticent when relating her share, Millie related her part, as thus: Well, I was unpacking my things, you know, In order to be able to go to bed, when who should come In but mamma! We hugged each other, and then I said; O, mamma, how could you quarrel with ulni"" Mamma looked very astonished, and said: What are you talking about?" Step-papa," 1 replied. "He didn't bring your name up once all the time, aud he didn't seem to care what had become of you, and and altogether he was the last man In the world I should have taken for a bridegroom. But he was very nice to me!" 'My dear child" exclaimed mainmn. 'are you wandering? What person do you refer to? Your stepfather has only Just arrived nt the hotel. We crossed this morning. As for quarreling, we are the most devoted couple lu Christen dom!" Now for Mr. Dick Macintosh's ver sion: Well, you see, old man, I received n letter from my uncle Ned. telling me that he had taken a wife unto himself, and would 1 meet him aud the lady at the Hotel St. Moscow In a week's time. On the date named I hied me to 1'uris, and, while I was awaiting Uncle Ned's arrival, a young lady was shown In. Well, we both thawed after a time and hud a rare evening. She proved the Jolliest g!il Imaginable talked, laugh id, Joked, and seemed bent on being as Iricndly n possible. We had tea, dined, took a stroll, and returned to the hotel. Then, my boy, Imagine my astonish ment. Afler she hud said good night she reached up and gave me the most delicious kiss I had ever received In the whole course of my existence." In due time the four set off on their tour together, and during the tour Dick and Millie managed to patch up mat ters so neatly that they came to be quite good friends by the time they re turned to Knglaud. And about a year after their return Dick took a flat In Kensington and asked Millie to share It with him, such as It was. And Millie not objecting they were married, and there I visited them and heard the story. Answers. More Turlft Needed. France Is not as rich as the United States, and has fewer millionaires, but more general prosperity a result brought alKut by the thrift of the peo ple. If we wish to enjoy similar pros perity, not the prosperity of Immense fortunes, but with the millions happy and contented, we must, says the Chi cago llecord, get back to that thrift which was once the distinguished feat ure of Americans, and upon which the wealth and progress of the country are founded. In this connection It makes a very practical suggestion the estab lishment of postal savings banks to in culcate lu persons of Tery moderate means the habit of thrift. There are savings banks In the large cities, and In some of the smaller towns In New F.ngland. and they have had n good ef fect upon the people; but to have the effect needed, to produce thrift among the ieople, we need savings banks at every postoftlce, banks In which a er son will not feel ashamed to deposit a few cents. These hanks have been sig nally successful wherever established, and have encouraged habits of thrift wulcu need a great deal of encourage ment In this country. It will tend to prevent panics and hard times, and will do far more to restore prosperity than the hope held out by Klondike gold fields, siHH'uhition or trusts to make Immense fortunes In a few months.

Chalnltaa Foil-Ilmrinu, Compound Crank and Carrier Wheela, Two Inventors, an Kngllshman and nn American, have recently applied for patcuiHoii bicycle improvements which refer directly to the gearing. The Kng- llshuiiiu furnishes a compound crank, retaining the chain. The Amerlnaii 111' COMI'OI'M) ( HANK WIIKKI.. vcutlou Is one of the forms of a chain- less wheel which Is a forerunner of the kind to tie placed on the market next season. The Englishman claims that his In vention will enable a rider to attain a remarkable rale of speed, for the rea son that almost double the propelling jiower can be obtained wt l limit any In crease of exertion. Willi It he predicts that a racing mail can easily ride a mile a minute. -' I he American machine shows the sprocket-wheel connected with the smaller one on the hub of the rear wheel by a cog-wheel. The middle or connecting wheel, which acts as a sub stitute for n chain. Is held in place by a circular support fastened to the frame. The entire gear works nrc bull- Hearing and are Inclosed within uu aluminum case. The New York Herald reports that a syndicate, composed of four New-York ers, has decided to use the bicycle as a carrier for men and supplies from "civilization to Klondyke." The biey cle will be used to transport supplies Cll A1XI.RSH BAI.I.-DKARIXO GEAR. from Juneau to the gold tlelds by way of the Chllkeot pass, a dlstuuce of 700 miles. '1 he present method of carrying In this district .Is for oue man to take n load of 2(10 pounds, his limit, carry It live miles nnd go back for more. The Klondyke bicycle Is a four-wheel ma chine nnd designed to curry freight. It Is built strongly and weighs about tlfty pounds. It Is diamond frame and steel tubing. The frame Is wound with rawhide, shrunk on, so that the miners en n handle the machine lu cold weath er with comfort. From each side of the top bar two arms of steel project, each arm carry ing a smaller wheel, about fourteen Inches In diameter, which, when not lu use, eau be folded up inside the dia mond frame. Devices for packing large quantities of material are attached to TIIK KI.OX1IYKE HICTCt.E. the handle burs nnd rear forks, and the machine, It Is estimated, will carry 5(H) pounds. The plan Is to load It with half the miner's equipment, drag It on four wheels ten miles or so. Then the rider will fold up the side wheels, ride It back ns a bicycle nnd bring on the rest of the load. A sample machine has already been made aud patents have been applied for. Another device for arctic comfort, which the syndicate will control, Is a portable house of thin boards and felt, which can be folded up In small com pass, nnd which, when erected, will be perfectly air-tight. AVebster Her Coachman, When Mrs. Sherwood, the author, who Is best known ns "M. E. W. S.," was n young girl, she visited Dnnlel Webster, at Marshlleld, with her fath er and mother. Mrs. Webster met them In her carriage, aud the little girl was nllowed to sit next Mr. Webster on the driver's box. She was elated Indeed when her father put her up there and whispered In her ear: "Hemember this, my daughter, you are to drive live miles with Daniel Web ster as your coachman!" The "coachiuau" began nt once to make himself agreeable. "So this Is your first visit to the sea, Miss Wllsou?" said he. This wus nn additional Joy. No one had ever called her "Miss Wilson." It made a landmark in life. Then he point ed out Seth Peterson, who was walking along the road, and who stopped to take some orders from his fellow fisherman. "You will eat, to-day, some fish which Seth and I caught this morning," said Mr. Webster. Mary wus terrified nt the responsibill ties of conversation, but she made a lucky hit by asking what kinds of fish were easiest to catch. He launched off on his favorite topic, and talked of the gnmy bass, the reluctant cod and their fellows. "I suppose," said the little girl, "you enjoy the fish which are the hardest to catch, don't you, Mr. Webster?" He looked round at her and laughed. "You are beginning young, Miss Wil- son." said ho. "That Is the remark of U coquette." At dinner he embarrassed her much by repeating the remark us u piece of youiurui precocity. E. BENJAMIN ANDREWS, Who Keslvnrd L'nl wra'ty Preal dency Nattier than Hids Ilia Views. Dr. K. Hcnjamln Andrews, recently resigned the presidency of Urown Uni versity nt Providence rather than sur render the liberty of expressing the opinions he entertains on a great pub. lie question. Dr. Audrews Is ifne of the most ardent, able ami conscientious advocates of the free aud unlimited coinage of silver aud has promulgated Ills, views whenever the occasion offer ed. The directors of the university K. BEXJAMIX AXDHKWS. were displeased with his conduct and virtually demanded silence or resigna tion. He chose the latter alternative. Dr. Audrews Is M years of age and Is the son of a Baptist clergyman, who lived at Montague, Mass., but preacii- ed lu the town of North Sunderluud. The futher's salary was $100 a year. The sou aided In the support of the family by working Saturdays and holi days In a mill. He also bent his ener gies nnd his back to the care of a gar den patch near the family residence. He had n great fondness for rending from his earliest youth. lie was lu school when the civil war broke out. He enlisted and served until 18IM, when, nfter having lnen ' severely wounded nt retersburg, he returned to New Kngland and finished his educa tion nt Krown University. Then he taught In various academies and enrn- ed money enough to further educate himself In Germany. He has been pres ident of Brown eight years. SENATOR FROM TENNESSEE. Thoa. B. Turler Who Sncceeda tht Late laham 6. Harrla. Thomas B. Turley, appointed United States Senator from Teunessee In place of the lute Isham G. Harris, Is a well known lawyer of Memphis. He has never held office of any kind. He Is a member of the law firm of Turley & Wright. Iu 1870 he was married to Miss Irene Knyner, the daughter of the late IE1I Hayner of Shelby County. Mr. Turley Is 52 years old. He was not yet out of school when the war came, but he promptly enlisted lu the Mayuard Hlfles, Company I, One Hundred nnd Fifty-fourth Tennessee regiment of the Confederate army. He fought nt Shi- loh, nnd was wounded there, ami he was also wounded at reach Tree Creek, before Atlanta. Ho was cap tured lu the battle of Nashville and taken to Camp Chase In Ohio and held there until March, 18(15, when he was exchanged and returned to the South. At the close of the war Mr. Turley en tered the University of Virginia and THOMAS B. TCKLET. became a studeut of law. In 1870 he removed to Memphis and that city has been his home ever since. Pumice Stone In America. Heretofore our supply of pumice stone has come almost exclusively from Italy. Now an American product Is forcing Its way Into the market. This material has been found of excellent quality in Western Nebraska, and In a pulverized form. There are seven dif ferent deposits, these comprising In all about 400 ucres. According to a report made by Prof. It. G. Salisbury of the Uulvcrsity of Chicago, there are ap proximately SOO.000 tous In sight. The deposits, with adjoining lands, have been acquired by the Chicago Pumice Company. They, however, desired also a lump pumice sioue. Atter mucii search such a dejiosit was found in Utah, 243 miles south of Salt Lake City. This property comprises 120 acres, and It is virtually an entire mountain of the material of all degrees of purity. Man ufacturer. New View of tbe Matter. Mamma "How not you are. Tommy; your clothe are wet through, I de clarer Tommy "Can't help It, ma. The heat make me cry all over." Fick-Me-Up j tarn m im ia i;i ? y e SPRING SAVES ACHING BACKS A I'SKFUIi attachment for a sew ing machine Is a "relief spring" attached to the pedals and un der part of the table. It saves much labor and many a backache by doing the hardest of the work of running the machine. The pressure of the toes downward Is the only motion neces- sary, as the spring brings the treadle back again, saving the heel motion. This latter Is what causes all the back aches, and with the spring is done nwny with entirely. This spring can be attached to nny machine. It Is ob vious that this arrangement will prove a great relief to every woman who sews. It does hnlf the work. Laughter Cauaea Wrinklea. It has long been a popular belief that wrinkles are chiefly caused by sorrow nnd care. It Is now claimed thnt this Is not always the case In fact It is said that merry folk are fnr oftener nflllet- ed with them than are the sorrowful, and that laughter more frequently fur rows the fnce than tears. There is uu art in lnughter, aud to know how to luugh Is really quite as Important as to know when to do so. If you laugh with the sides of your face the sklu will work loose in time, nnd wrinkles will form In exact accordance with the kind of laugh you Indulge In. The man who always wears n smirk will have a series of semicircular wrinkles cover ing his cheeks. A gambler who is ac customed to suppress his feelings gen erally has a deep line running from ench side of his nose to the upper cor ner of his mouth, which in time ex tends to the chin, forming the shape of a half moon. A cadaverous person is usually marked with two wrinkles, one on the Jaw and the other under the eye, meeting at right angles at the cheek bones. The student's w rinkles form on the brow, while those of the schemer round his eyes und resemble the spokes of a wheel. A Lucky Bride. Mrs. Berry was married last year and went with her husband to spend the honeymoon in the gold fields of Alaska. When they were married they were poor, now they have $130,000 in gold. So much for love, pluck and luck. i Aprons Aica n In Favor. Aprons, for so many years regarded as the distinguishing mark of serving women, promise to be the rage in the smart get in London. The apron of the future, however, will differ from that of the past which our grandmothers used to wear. In the days gone by It was a somber affair of black silk or al paca, sometimes set off by a few dainty tucks or rows of herriig-boue stitching and a little very fine laee. Now the very cheapest aprons are made of the finest white linens and muslins and batistes, nnd are puffed and frilled with lace and trimmed with ribbons until the old ladles of a hundred years ago would never dream that they were aprons. The finest aprons are made of real lace, and are well worth passing down from generation to generation." Rnaineva Ability of Women. It is said that through the medium of rlubs women are developing business ability, executive capacity, tolerance for the opinions and views of other people and a broad sense of charity and loyalty toward tne world, which will mtArially strengthen her entire TIIK RPUIXO SAVES WORK. character. The achievements of king" and queens and princes does not make all of history by any menus. The do ings of the common people the greiK class which keeps the world strong anil true and helpfiil-innke the noblest his. tory, and women who realize that they are women sharing with all others In their sex the highest alms nnd ambi tions for the good of the world have made n discovery that gives life a dif ferent color and makes a woman's pos sibilities rise to the noblest height. The true club woman Is usually n strong and Intellectual patriot, and nn enrnest student of political measures aud laws. Indeed, women claim that the woman's club Is n line school for culture and broad mentnl occupation, and the true, wide-awake woman Is proving herself a pow er In the world a power that Is a permaiieiK y. RendlnK as a Mental Stimutua. An eminent French critic said In a lecture recently lu New York that "To distrust what we like Is the first requi site of progress In art cud In life." He did not mean that books that are dis agreeable are the only books worth reading. But he did mean that a book which opens up a new Held of knowl edge, a new outlook tipou literature ot life. Is not nt first likely to give the pleasure that conies from one which simply reflects the old familiar Ideas ot which we say complacently, "How good and true thnt Is, for I've felt It oi said It myself." A book that pats you on the head or heart all the time Is apt to be little more than n reflection ol your own narrow experience, und you will not learn anything from It. A book that makes one feel Ignorant Is as mor tifying to one'R pride ns a superior pen son. Ladles' Home Journal. Fro Fkina for Glovca, The lntest in the reuiiu of glove-making is gloves of frog skin. This skin la said to be the finest aud toughest leath er in the world.

The smart little bolero opens widely lu front to show the white linen shirt with three studs." A Clever KfVice. A clever device for utilizing the beau ty thnt remains In fine lace curtains that have seen their day Is to cut out the rich raised work rings and wrcnths from which the delicate net hns worn nwny. Apply them to squares of velvet or satin for use ns cushion covers. Ap- . plied on olive or metallic green velyet or some soft wood brown sliade the ef fect Is rich and elegant, especially when further set off with a frill of lace and the back of the pillow made of silk ot corresponding tone. Wahea for Fair Hair. Take one tenspoonful of borax, and the same quantity of salt; two ounces each of spirits of wine and ammonia water; two drachms of tincture of can tharides, and four ounces each of rose water and distilled water. If the hair is naturally dry, a little almond oil may be added. Or take one ounce of borax and hnlf an ounce of camphor, and dis solve them In one quart of boiling wa ter. When cool, says the London Star, this will be ready for use. L Serious illness should be a mother's only excuse for weaning the baby dur ing hot weather, or until it has safely passed the dangers of the second Bum mer. The Board of Health of Philadelphia recently Issued emergency hints for the summer care of babies. The valuable suggestions are given In full: ' 'If the child be suddenly attacked with vomiting, purging and prostra tion, put it into a Jiot bath for a few minutes, then carefully wipe It dry with a warm towel, and wrap It in, warm blankets. If Its hands and feet are cold, bottles filled with hot water and wrapped In flannel should be laid' against them. "Five droj of brandy in a teaspoon-, ful of water may be given every ten or fifteen minutes; but if the vomiting persists, give this brandy In equal part of milk and lime-water. ABM 1 M
