THE IIELLE OF THE BAKERY. It was not one of your common bakeries. It was a very genteel bakery, indeed, with a solid plate glass window, and "Parties and Weddings Supplied" gilded in .sprawling letters across tbe front. The floor was of chequered mar ble, and the walls were frescoed with peacock feathers and half-open fans. And Mrs. Biggs knew nothing at all about "the business,' but came in and out of a private door, aad Miss Edel- rt i. ,i li -1 - i Oj the piano, and in arrasene work, and read Disraeli's novels. j As for Mr. Biggs himself, h was in visible half the day in the subterranean region, whence he would occasionally emerge with a very red face, and hair aud whiskers powdered with flour. "They ain't nothing like the master's eye," Mr. Biggs would observe, with a noble disregard of grammar which was l." 1 a: x l i il jwuuiiai ij BggrBvuu vo xxieigiiiua. Then there was Mary "Polly," at Mr. Biggs called her. Mary Biggs had ceme to visit Edelgitha, and be educated with her, when the sadden death of her father left her unprovided for, and all bat friendless. "She's most educated, ain't she?" said Mr. Biggs. "Uel ll put her through and make a teacher of her, eh, wife?" "Pray, Mr. Biggs, don't go to puttiog . snob nonsense into the child's head !" ' aoid Mrs. Biggs. "It's a deal too ex pensive, and it will ha three Tears at least before she will be qualified to teach. And we can t board and clothe a a -a . . ner an war. time. Liei ner go uown into the bakery and help yon. You were complaining, only yesterday of being snort or nanus. "But it's most a pity, ain't it?" said Mr. Biggs, who has a kind hearteJ soul. "Such a bright, smart little creature as Polly is." "PabawP said Mrs. Biggs. "Ton want bright, smart creatures, don't yon?" "But I somehow calculated to give Polly the same advantages as Edelgitha," nrged the baker, wriggling like an un easy eel. men you calculated entirely with out your host," observed Mrs. Biggs, tartly. "We are not Rothschilds, and tiignor Caracoli charges eighty dollars a mam'selle about daily lessons in conver sation at a dollar apiece. Besides" with a sadden change of base "Mary was telling me only yesterday that she pined tar something to do. She has always been nsed to such active life." So Mary, in her- black calico dress, with the mist of tears still heavy on her eyelids, went down into the workroom to help her uncle. Sh waji a brisk, efficient cirl whn h ad . what Uncle Biggs called "a level busi ness head. ' She was a good account ant, and kept the books below stairs; and once in a while she amused herself with making up a pile of dainty, snow white meringues, or a batch of old fashioned donehnnts. for the store. It wsb lonely down there, to be sure, among the busy workmen, and sne sighed at times when he heard her Cousin Edel githa practising the scales. "It is very ungrateful of me," she said to herself. "I ought to be glad and thankfal to help good Uncle Biggs." And it never occarred either to Mary or her uncle that if she hadn't been so very much prettier than Edelgitha she never would Lave been banished to the basement of the bakery. - "Edelgitha must marry rich," said Mrs. Biggs. "We have prepared her to adorn any station; and Mr. Lilburne certainly was very attentive when he met her at the private .view of the picture gallery. I really think he likes Ed el jritha." . "He's a queer old fish," said the baker meditatively. "But he's rich," said Mrs. Biggs. "Well, then, lot us ask him to supper, and leave liim and Edelgitha alone to gether afterward?" suggested Mr. Biggs. "That is, if she likes him." 'Biggs,' don't be a goose," said the lady irritably. "You haven't a soul above one of your own flour barrels no, nor you won't never have." So Mr. Biggs retired, and gave bis whole attention to the checking off of a load of St. Louis flour, which was being delivered at the alley door. - Mary Biggs had come np into the store to whisper one of her uncle's messages to the stylish young woman behind the counter, when a servant girl hurried in and emptied about a peck of little flit brown cakes ou the glass tup of the show case. "Mr. Lilburne 's compliments, miss," said she; "and they're tr:-h!' "What?" said the shop oman. "Mr. Lilburne's con i.liments; and they're trash!' repeated tue maid. "He said they wasn't ginger snaps at all; they was only lard and molasses. lie wanted tbe kind his mother used to bake on Sa'- . urday morning. The very first one he tasted he threw on the floor. "Well,"' remarked the shop woman, tossintr her head, "if our ginger snaps don't unit tbe gentleman, then it's im possible to sait him. That's all!" "He's been sick, yon know," said the m lid servant, apologetically. "And he in jast getting better, and his appetite's dreadful uncertain, and Mrs. Pagsley j my missus she thought she was sure to tempt him with these 'ere. 'Ginger snaps, said he. 'Just what I've been a-longin' for. My mother used to bake 'em for me when I wai a child. Yes, Mrs. Pug-slev said he, you may order em for me. But," with a mild sigh, "missus might ha known they wouldn't suit. Nothin' suits when a gentleman's just off a sick bed." "Is it Mr. Lilburne?" said Mary. "Oh, I remember him. He came here once and went to sleep while Edelgitha was singing 'Oh Summer Night!' I liked him. He talked to me about the coun try. He knew all about calves and chickens and cranberry swamps . and robins' nests. Does he like ginger-snaps? I'll make some for him. I know an old fashioned receipt that is always good. Come here to morrow, my good girl," to the maid, "and I'll have some ready for you. Poor Mr. Lilburne! I'm sorry he's sick!" The smart shopwoman stared a? super ciliously as Liszt or Chopin might have done if a village bugler had volunteered to teach them the first principles of music. A country-girl, like that, expect to compete with Biggs' Celebrated Bakery! Well, really, the shopwoman didn't know what the world was coming to! But little Polly hurried down stairs again to where Mr. Biggs, all pondered with flour, was laying down the law to some of his satellites. "Ginger, my dear?" said he. "And flour? What you like what you like! As I was telling you, Johnson, a bsrrel of prime flour has to be humored. You can't drive it. Flour is flour, and must be handled according." Mr, Leonidas Lilburne, stalking un easily about'nis sick-room and anathem atizing the sluggish earrent of the hours, was aecretly making up ms mind to get married. "After a man has once been sick in a boarding house," he said to himself, "he's a fool if he don't look around for a home of his own. I am forty next month It's high time I was thinking of settling in life. Eh, who's there?" "It s me, sir, please! said Mrs. Pugs ley "with some ginger-snaps. "Pshaw! said Mr. Lilburne. "Fling em out of the window! Uive em to the dogs! I don't want any more of your city humbugs! "But please, sir, these are quite diner ent? Mrs. Pagsley coaxed "made by a voung woman from the country, as works in Mr. Biggs bakery. And 1 was to ask would you be so very good as only to taste 'em?" "Oh, yes, I'll taste them!" said Mr. Lilburne. sarcastically. "It's no trouble to poison myself, just to oblige people!" And Mrs. I'ugsley, entering with an apprehensive air, put the plate of round, golden cakelets on tne table. "I really think, sir," said she, if you would only taste them "Hum, bar said Mr. Lilburne. "These are quite a different article These are the kind ny old mother used to turn out! They're ambrosia they're food for the gods! Who made them say?" "I I don't know, sir, I'm sure." st id Mrs. Pugsley, rather discomfited by this direct address, "borne young person in Mr. Biggs bakery. "Order a carriage!" said Mr. Lilburne, "and bring me my sable-trimmed over coat at once! I'll go and see that young woman. I don't believe there is another person on the American continent that can make ginger 6naps like these, now that my poor old mother is buried!" ' Mary Biggs came, laughing, up from the subterranean deeps of Biggs bakery. "Oh. yes, Mr. Lilburne," said she, "I made the snaps. Don't you remember me Edelgitha's cousin?" "But what are you doing down here?" demanded Mr. Lilburne in some amaze ment. "Earning my own living," Polly promptly answered. "And they told me you didn't like the store snaps, so I baked some afer my grandmother's old receipt." Mr. Lilburne looked at Polly with the respect due to a maker of incomparable crincrer-snaps. mingled with chivalrous pitv for a desolate maiden. "Miss Polly," said he "that was what they called you, wasn't it?" "Yes," said Polly, "that's my name." "Perhaps I ought to warn you that I'm going to be a little abrupt, said he; "but I should like to marry you." ' "Oh, dear," said Polly, storting back in amazement, "I couldn't think of such a thing." "Yes, you can," said Mr. Lilburne. "Think of it, that's all. Think of it for a week, and then let me know of yonr final decision. I m not what the world calls a gay young lover, but I can give you a good home and an honest, loving heart. Your uncle can tell you all about Leoni das Lilburne. There, I won t tease you any longer. Just take my proposal into consideration, that's all." So he went away, and Mary, in her Igreat perplexity, went in among the flour-barrels and took counsel with Un cle Biggs." "Uncle!" she exclaimed, "what ami to do?" "My dear," said the old man, stroking her head with -floury, yet not unkindly hands, "what do you think? Could you learn to like him?" "I think so," confessed Mary, with down cast eyes. "Then I recommend you to say yes," said Uncle Biggs. "Lilburne is a good, warm-hearted fellow if a little eccentric, and his wife will certainly be a lucky woman." And he thought of Edelgitha and sighed. A week subsequently, Mr. Lilburne gave his landlady warning. "I hope I haven't failed to suit yoak sir," she said. .. "It isn't that, Mrs Pnglsley," said he. "But I am going to be married." "I'm sure, sir," I "congratulate you," si r," she said, faintly. "You may well do so, ma'am," said Mr. Lilburne. "She's as lovely as Ve nus, as domestic a-t Boreas, and she makes ginger-snaps such as my poor mother once did! Yes, Mrs. Pugsley, I feel that I have gained a prize." So Polly Biggs' giner-suap won the treasure which Miss Edelgitha's frills and French conversation had been powerless to reach. "I really can't see what Mr. Lilburne saw to fancy in my Cousin Polly !" said she, with spiteful tears. And Mrs. Biggs could not enlighten her daughter. Heard on the. street: 'That handsome gentlemau seemed to know yo,u. . Why did you not bow to him? Was lie mis taken?" "No, not exactly. We wore engaged all summer; but you know the season is Wer now and it would never do to recognize him in the city. He doesn't belong to our set." "Did you give Johnny the medioine, Mrs. Brown?" asked the doctor. "Oh, yes, doctor," replied the loving mother; and then she added innocently: "And it don't seem to havo done him the least aarm. j a. NEWS ITEMS. Nine million postal cards are said to weigh a ton. The number of Europeans emigrating to the Argentine Republic in 1880 was 41,615, in 1881, 47,482, and in 1882, 51, 503. A Philadelphia bootblack cleared $1900 in one year, and has sent enough money to his parents in Italy to buy them t comfortable home. An Amhurst student was recently sur prised by a visit from an owl, which flew in his open window. Tne youth is perhaps destined to be our future ohief justice. "Thev also serve, who onlv stand and Waite, is the- motto of tbe United States supreme court. It consoles men whose cases will not be reached for the next decade. A leopard recently escaped at the zoo logical gardens in Philadelphia, but was shot before leaving the grounds. He cost $800 and had been caged five months. A Prussian city cleared 3000 marks this year by the sale of fruit grown on its byways and hedges. The Prussian small boy mu6t have been spending his summer by the sea. -Li-Fong-Pao, the Chinese ambassador at Berlin, Vienna and Borne, addresses the pope officially as "Tien-Te Brama, i. e.. high priest of heaven, or divine high priest. A swarm of bees . has for many years occupied the spire of a New Jersey church, and it is believed that a gentle deluge of honey will some day trickle dowu that spira per-spire in fact. Philadelphia Chinese are banded to gether in secret fraternities. One of tnese is believed to be responsible for sudden diminution in the number of Chinese pupils in the Epiphany Sunday school. "Detectives' is what the public are taught to call Pinkerton's movable rifle corps. They seem to be an American improvement on the Swiss Guard, with a Winchester repeater attachment; and are warranted to serve corporations with the same fidelity that militia serve the state. . Emperor Francis of Austria and his empress once attended the performance of a play which abounded in political al lusions. On leaving the theater, he re marked good-naturedly: "We may con gratulate ourselves on having seen the piece at all, for I am sure it will speedily be forbidden." An attempt is being made to introduce chamois into the mountains of Jiohemia It would be quite tbe correct thing for the young gentlemen who hunt the gen tle fox at Newport to petition Com mis sioner Loring to plant the chamois in Tnckerman's ravine at Mount Washing ton. "American shammy" would sound very well. Next to the far trade.fishing is Alaska's most important industry, both in regard to the amount of capital invested and the number of persons employed. At cer tain seasons' of the year the Alaskan waters fairly swarm with fish, and so ravenous are these that they will readily bite a naked hook. The supply is prac tically inexhaustible, and fine large fish are bought by tbe canneries from the Indians at $2 50 per : 100. The salmon are not as large as the Columbia river nsh but the great difference in price more than makes up the great difference in size. The Newest English Word. The latest addition to the English lan guage is, it appears, tne word "squip. It seems to mean a small measure of ardent spirit, but we are not ceitain on that head, because the learned authority who introduced it to the public notice at Birmingham, the other day, acknowl edged that he was suffering from "squips." Being charged with having beaten his wife while in a state of intoxi cation, he pleaded that he and she had partaken of "twelve squips, besides ex tras," and so fell a quarreling. On hear ing this confession, the clerk of the court hastily exclaimed: "You ought to be ashamed of yourself. It then seems to have occurred to him, however, that so. nips" mieht be an innocent tioole. and in that case there would be no cause , for shame. The defendant was accord ingly questioned as to the meaning of the term, which he interpreted as synonymous with twopenny worth of raw rum. But he did not say whether gin, or brandy, or whisky to the same value would not be equally a "sq dip. I one tning, nowever, is ciear--tne prac tice of drinking small doses of raw spir its must be pretty common at Birming ham, or this ugly monosyllable would not have been invented to signify the favorite dram.
