MISS GA1B
Egalite did not think Miss Gair hand
some; but her face had beautiful ex
pressions. He had come to Balsam Hill
prepared to see a beauty. Everywhere
he had heard of Miss Gair as perfec
tion. . He expected to find a woman of
brilliant personal appearance and suave
deportnseut. She was the half sister of
his friend, Fay Sommers.and the heiress
of Balaam Hill.
He found her a quiet, fair and gentle
woman, with a breadth of white brow, an
inexpressibly soft and brilliant smile, a
musical voice, and a serioas manner. He
looked at her as she gave him half an
hour's tete-a-tete before dinner, and
could not imagine her either flirting or
receiving compliments, and yet Miss
Gair had the reputation of breaking
hearts by the score.
At dinner she gave him a seat by her
side. There were a half-dozen other
guests. There was a fountain jet at one
end of the long marble dining hall, and
the scent of the roses came into the open
French windows. There was a water
lily in Miss Gair's dark hair, links of
gold upon her white wrists. How very
ftoftly and musically she chatted with
them all.
After dinner they went to the billiard
hall. Miss Gair did not play, but she
selected a cue for Egalite, wished him
success and then went away to the sofa,
where a group of gentlemen instantly
gathered arounu her. The sound of her
Boft,30casional laugh distracted Egalite 's
attention. He played badly and lost
the game willingly.so that it left him at
liberty to seek her side again. He told
himself that he was curious to see where
in her power lay. How was she pret
tier or sweeter than hundred other fair
women he had known.
He could swear that she was not, and
yet he sat beside her,, more content than
he had been in five years.
Pnrity. He thought for a moment
that that was the charm which held him.
When he heard her laugh he thought it
was the sweetness of her merriment. The
next instant, as her glance wandered
across the lawn and rested on the dis
tant hills, he believed it to be a faint
tinge of sadness which seemed to rest on
her.
whatever it was it held him at tier
side fur thres weeks. He had not meant
to stay so long. To be sure, the shoot
ing was good, but it was little he had
Lad of it.
The morning of his departure came,
and as lie stood ou tbe long vine shaded
piazzi, sue came out for a few friendly
wonts or parting. He retained her hand.
Figuratively he threw himself at her
feet and begged for hope.
She looked startled lor a moment, and
tl-M her face looked constrained and
pale.
i have made a mistake?"
"You have."
H-r voice was hard, startled and un
natural.
"i oeg jour pardon."
They 8tod apart. A servant appeared
at tbti door.
"The carriage is waiting for Mr. Egal
ite.
The man departed. Egalite did not
venture to touch Miss Gair s band again
She had never looked so lovely or ac
cessible. ' Good by, Miss Gair."
Good by, Mr. Egalite."
How frigid lhat was! How hard and
cold she had bpeo, he thought, when he
was in the carriage. After all, had she
no heart?"
The next year he spent in Europe. He
.saw the Alps, St. Peter's, the Seine, the
Louvre. He ate Naple's grapes sent
home wine from Bercy. He watched
the Parisian coquets and sketched Flor
ence beauties, but never saw one Miss
Gair.
He came home at last. To be sure
home seemed a little dull since there
was no one to welcome him but an acid
maiden sister, and Turk, his horse, but
one must work to live.
There was news from Balsam Hill.
Fay Somers had been killed by being
brown from a carriage. Mies Gair had
ost her property and gone to live with
an aunt in Vermont.
He wns vexed to see his cheek grow
Eale. Why should he shrink as if a lash
ad been laid across his heart? I Was he
still so weak as to have a woman who
had scorned him?
All night his eyes were set wido open
in the darkness. Now that he thought
of her, poor, sad no longer merry and
artistically beautiful, in silk and costly
lace he dared to call her "Madge," as
"he had heard others who loved her call
her; and as he pronounced the name, his
heart melted over it. If he might see
her once more, he would try again.
And thinking this, it came about that
one September nipht found him among
the green hills of Vermont He was at
an incommodious little inn, but near
Madge Gair. His landlord said:
"Miss Mehitable Matthews lives in
that brown house, -with honeysuckles
over it, that ye like the looks of so well.
Charming young lady came from Boston
last spring old lady's niece. Miss Gair.
Know anybody of that name? Thought
perhaps ye might, hailing from Boston."
The purple twilight was growing over
the crimson maples as he drew rein at
the brown, vine-clad, hill side cottage.
The old-fashioned garden sloped to the
sun. Clomps of phlox glimmered like
snow in the shadows of the old yew trees
which guarded the doorway. A few late
roses dropped their crimson dusters
around tbe gate as he opened it.
There was a little stir among the lilacs
and syringas. A graceful figure clad in
" gray, vines in tbe hands and surprise in
the lovelv eyes, faoed him.
"Mr. Egalite. this is very kind. You
have not forgotten me."
"Never for a moment. And hare you
not wleuied?"
''Relented?" she faltered.
He poured out his heart once more.
She stopped him.
"Do you not know have you not
heard that I am poor a beggar?"
. "I have been told yes. Bat that has
nothing to do with my loving you."
"Nothing?"
"Nothing whatever."
"Then " sparkling beautifully with
joy, "I will let myself love you."
"Madger he emu. He clasped her
in his arms, bewildered by his sudden
happiness. She laughed softly, then her
eyes filled with tears as she gently
stroked his face.
"Do you t link I am not happy, too?"
"You? I hope so. But what is one
heart, more or le8, to yon who have
been offered so many? I have no one
but you."
"And I have no one but you," she
said, earnestly. "Dearest, listen tome.
Did you ever think of tbe snares that be
set the path of an heiress? A woman who
has wealth is courted for her money.
Many men have courted me for my
riches, but, my love, no one ever sought
me nut in my poverty but you, you
whom I loved from the first, but dared
not trust, more than others. My reputed
poverty, I should have said, for,"
smiling again, "I am not so poor after
all. The speculation which involved
part of my wealth was not so great a suo
cess as was expected, neither was it so
great a failure. I lost a few thousand
from my hundred thousand; that was
all. But report made me penniless, and
my visit to my good aunt in this old
fashioned neighborhood confirmed the
impression that I had lost all. But, my
friend, when we are married, I shall be
proud of the master of Balsam Hill."
The problem of "when Miss Gair
would marry," which the fashionable
world had speculated upon for several
years, was solved a few weeks later.
Beatrice and Laura.
Not until the middle ages definitely
set in did women begin to take that sta
tion which the modern world has been
proud to accord them. At first glance
the stern politician and satirist who de
lighted in presenting the world pictures
of the torments endured in the infernal
regions by bis enemies would hardly
seem promising material from whioh to
manufacture a lover. But no mere fact
is more capable of truth than that Dante
was, during almost his whole life, a vic
tim of the tender passion. His- love
began when he was nine years old, and
continued till Lis death, and no woman
of his age is better known than
his Beatrice. He has even given us her
picture, or at least a description so mi
nute that a pertrait might be painted
from it. She was tall, of imposing pres
ence, with light hair, slender neck,
rounded chin, large, expressive dark
eyes, firm mouth, Roman nose and fair
complexion. Dante's love for her par
took of that mystical tinge which color
ed p.11 hia works and after her death it
was, sublimated from every earthly ele
ment, and, apparently pure as human
affection ever becomes. His own gloom
rendered him repulsive to those knowing
him felightly, and his despair at her loss
was so great that he utterly neglected his
personal appearance until he looked like
a savage. After the "Inferno" appeared
he was ence passing along the streets of
Verona, when some women saw him and
stared in awe. One whispered: "That's
the man who goes down into hell when
he pleases, and orings back news of the
sinners below. . "Yes," said the other.
"see how his face is scared with the fire
and brimstone, and blackened with tbe
smoke, and how his hair and beard have
been singed in the pit." He had little
of the lov r like appearance, but the
lover's heart, to the day of his death,
cnerisiied tne memory of Beatrice, and
ne elevated tier to the highest point of
poesy by choosing her as his guide in
paradise.
Petrarch, the great sonneteer of the
renaissance gained more reputation as s
lover than in. perhaps, anv other wav,
His love affair with Laura lasted through
bis whole life, and made him so
notorious that as he went along the
streets tli9 ladies smile and, pointing
after him, say: "There goes Laura's
lover." At the samo time there is o
muun indennitenef. about the matter
tbat some critics have doubted whether
tbf re ever was such a person as Laura.
and able arguments have been advanoed
to prove her a myth; but it is impossible
10 read tbe exquisite touches of charac
ter which the poet gives without believ
ing that she was a lively, entertaining
and, to him, extremely uncertain and
caprioious reality. His poems of which
she is the subject number nearly four
nunored, and are probably as full of con
ceits as any similar number ever written.
Laura was a woman of rank, the wife of
rtugn de Hade, and was of considerable
wealth. She seems to have been a tall.
blonde beauty, with Golden hair, ex-
tremely graceful, and. if wo may iudcre
from the number and earnestnes of the
curses that Petrarch heaps on her look
ing-glass, the conclusion is inevitable
that she was vain. She was. no doubt.
an accomplished, coquette, since, when
ever Petrarch left her in anger and con
soled Himself by a complaining poem,
the next day was sure to see him
back again in a worse condition than
ever. She was probably no better than
she ought to have been, but it is toler
ably certain that if Laura had never
lived we should have had no Petrarch, or
at least the chances are that he would
have turned his talents in some other
direction, and the products of his genius
would have been food for book-worms
But one touch of Laura makes Petrarch
kin to the whole world, and he and his
love have a safe immortality. Phila

Gesture Language.
Some eisrhteen orears since I mar? a an
attempt to describe and analyze the ges
ture lansruacre. in order to show the onn-
j
sistency of principle with the debarred
from spoken language, whether deaf
mutes or men unacquainted with one
another's languages, contrive to utter
heir own thoughts of others through
expressive gestures. In these gestures
we have a direot and universal outcome
of the human mind, a system bv whioh a
deaf and dumb scholar from an English
asylum can hold converse at first sight
wit a Laplanders or Tronnois or ChinasA.
They understand cch other because they
use signs ior me mo3t part sen expres
sive ard conveying their own meaning
to those who never saw them before.
Now, any idea can be thus conveyed by
self-expressive signs, not in one wr.y
alone, but many. A hunter of the prai
rie, for example, has to express the idea
horse ; this he can do by various signs,
as by the hand so held as to imitate a
horses s head, or by the aot of strad- I
dlmg a pair of forked fingers across the
edge of the other hand, or by the imita
ted motion oi the galop; different as
these signs are, each tells its own tale.
When, however, people have been Ion
used to converse together in gestures,
tipy ars apt to out them down into ab'
brevlated form which do not show their
meaning at first Bight, and might even
seem to outsiders to be artificial. Thus,
a white man, seeing a Cheyenno Indian
hold his bent arm forward with the hand
closed knuckles upward, was puzzled as
to what this might mean; the Indian,
seeing his look of perplexity, took a
a stick and, bending his head and back,
completed the picture into that of a
bent old man leaning on a staff, thus
Bhowing that the sign meant "old man."
xrauiuonai signs may even go on after
their reason has passed away, as tbe sign
for "stone" made by hammering with the
uaw on i no omer nana, a gesture dating
from the Stone Ace. in whinh tha In
dians lived within a few generations.
when thei only hammer was a stone.
These two examolea AfA fji.lt An ffAm tit a
reoent careful colleotiou of North Amer
ican gesture signs by Colonel Mallery,
published bv the Smithsonian Tnafi'tnto
The labor and expense which anthropol
ogists in tne umtea states are now be
stowing on the study of the indegenoua
tribes contrasts, I am sorry to say, with
the indifference shown to such observa
tions in Canada, where the habits of yet
more interesting native tribes are al
lowed to die out without even a record.
But to return to the gesture-language.
This passage of self expressive signs in
to what seem -arbitiary signs throws
strong light on the principles of spoken
language, - where we find a few self ex
pressive sounds, such as interjections
and names of animals imitated from their
cries, while the great majority of words
are not even traceable back to the self
expressive stage from which the analogy
of gesture-language leads U3 to suppose
that they originally sprang. Moreover,
the sequence or collocation of gesture
signs conforms to fixed rules which dis
play the action of the thinking mind.
Tbe subject must precede the attribute;
for instance, such a sequence as a "heavy
stick" would have no sense to the sign
maker, who necessarily introduces the
stick beiorfl he can clothe it with an at
tribute. Phrases, so to speak, out of an
American gesture-story illustrate the
gesture-syntax. When the finger-tips of
the two hands are brought together to
show a hut or wigwam, then pointing to
one's own breast does the work of a pro
noun, "hut-mine." The sennenna "hnf.
falo-one-shot-killed" starts with the idea
of buffalo, adds that there was one, and
then the sign -maker, having placed the
idea ot tnat one bufialo before his inter
locutor, can imitativelv shoot at if: n.n1
it falls dead, he can even imply the idea
oi causation in tne sharp following of
the shot bv the animal's fall. whiV.h

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
Sweet Cobx Suckkbs. Mr. F. c
Jordan, of Maine, who raised ten acres
oi sweet corn last year, thinks the small
part from which he cut the suckers
while growing "did muoh better; gave
larger ears, but he seeks advtoe. Dif
ferent varieties seem to possess different
habits of growth, and until one has had
experience with many it will hardly do
to generalize. In my own observations
with varieties with no striking tendency
to sucker under ordinarv cironmstancpR.
suokering to excess has only taken place
in very ricn land, any gain to com pen
sate for their removal. I have noticed
that with the variety with which I am
iamniar, tne largest crop baa been yield
ed from the h lis which contained the
most suckers. I have also nutiaad that
there is a relation aooarent. in manv
cases, between the amount of roots and
or loiiage. J he plant with the most
foliage is enabled tosimilate more nutri
nient both from the eir and soil than is
the plant with less fulitge. So, theoret
ically, I am prepared to believe tbat
suokering the corn plant is of no advan
tage.
Wnen. however, the soil is tot snffl.
ciently lertile to supply the material for
assimuaiion and metastasis, then it is
quito probable "that the suckers become
an injurv lu tue ame manner as if too
mny plants were upon the ground. I
can also see how that when the water
supply is deficient the evaporation caused
by the Kuckt-rs may be a disadvantage. I
think it is probable, although as yet un
proven, that the distance of planting
corn or in other words, the number of
plants per acre, for the best crop, ii de
termined to a large extent by the water
supplv. Whenever there is sufficient
water to supply the enormous evaoora
tion from the leaves, there, in the north
ern climates, at least, we can indulge io
close plantiog; where the water supply is
insumeient tor tie evaporation from the
leaves, there our distances must be in
creased. In Massachusetts I can plant
with advantage closer than I fonnil
profitable at the station here at Geneva
last yoar. i can see that in Massachu
setts, with their superior rainfall during
the growinz season, suckers mav be nn
disadvantage, while under the same cir
cumstance nere tbey may be found un
desirable. This rerjlv. however, is al
most entirely from theory and casual ob
servation, and must be considered in tbe
light of an individual opinion rather
than as an aDtroved fact. E. T-owia

Two Ways of Raisinsr Calves. "Form.
erly I used to raise calves by feeding
them skimmed milk twice a day." says a
correspondent of the Rural Nav Yi
"and I usually ted them until they were
five or six months old, and thought, on
comparing them with others not fad nn
long, that it paid extremely well to do
80: but last BDrinC. not h&VA nnnwni.
ences to handle milk profitably, I tried a
new plan. Oatmeal was bought at $2 50
per cwt., and every morning a kettteful
of porridge was made. One porringer
full of tbe oatmeal was used, wet up in a
pan with cold water, and then stirred
into the boiling water. The kettle held
about a oailfal. This mdA a fWarl fa
ten calves both for morning and night.
The meal swelled so when wet that it
made the porridge sufficiently thick.
"When dipped into the nails to be feA
about a quart of skimmed milk was
added to each calf, which amount of milk
was decreased, and at last none wj-3
given as the calves got older. After
awhile a cup of middlings was used with
the oatmeal. This kind of feeding was
begun after the calves had been fed new
milk until they were about four weeks
old. and was kept up until thev werfiv
or six months old. Care was taken when
this kind of feeding was begun not to
overdo it at first, and thev wera oMni.
tomed to the new food by degrees. The
result has been all and more than was
expected ; the calves grew and throve in
a way that did credit to their feed. They
were kept in a pasture where thev had
grass and fresh water, and went into tbe
winter in good condition, and as good
as any calves we ever raised entirely on
skimmed milk."
The English Craze.
"Anglomania," says an American
writer, "has taken a strong hold of a por
tion of our people. There is a craze to
be English English, in appearance.
English in eye-glasses, English in dog- 4
oart, Eoglish in riding-habit, English in
whip ( with a loop at the end, the real
use of which half of these amateurs do
not know, and for which there is no nee
in America), English in composure,
abeeuce of enthusiasm, emotion, and the
cultivation of general apathy. The last
is the crowing capsheaf of idiooy." In
order to be superior in the English way
these folk imagine that the correct tiling
ia to suppress air emotion. To prove
one's elevation in the intellectual world
19 to treat existence and all beljnging to
it as a "howwid boah." To sit in a win
dow with an eye-glass screwed Into one's
eye and drawl out weak criticism and
sarcasm on all that passes; to treat every
effort of humanity to better itself witb
lofty superciliousness; to dread being
seen ; to affeot to be amused by their fellow-idiots;
and to affect to be superior
to all human emotions, passions, or
appetites, are the ways in which these
imitators (?) of English society show
their disease.
Ak Uneobtunate Faixtjbe. The ar
tesian well whioh was bored at Akron,
Col., 112 miles from Denver met with
an unfortunate mishap. Work was going
on finely wben at the depth of 1250 feet,
the ponderous drill with its weight of
2000 pounds above it, stuck in tbe tube
and could not be forced to the bottom.
Since then all efforts to prosecute the
work have proved unavailing. The work
was under the manearement of Professor

that an abundance of excellent water can
be made to spout to the surface in Colo
