All this, however, did not pre­ vent Mr. Bruce from stating his belief that the marriage of Dalrymple Bruce and Tryphena Maddams had been sol­ emnized in the county of Berkshire and most probably in the vicinity of Abing­ don. At any rate the information gained led to the inference that the ceremony in question had taken place at one of the churches in one of the riverside towns of Berkshire. His proposal to me was that I could undertake to make a thor­ ough search among the parish registers, Mr. Bruce paying all the expenses and compensating me for my labor at the “Come here, my pretty dears.” “No, thank you.

She did not know, by the way, That I was “engaged” in the common accept­ ance of that term.' I blessed her there­ fore, and furthermore presented her with a sovereign, which made her happy for the rest of the week—honest old descendant of Cinderella that she was! . Next morning by the first post I had a letter from Mary. She had been “ter­ ribly frightened,” poor darling; she had not fully realized the impropriety of coming to my chambers until her father had come upon the scene and she had felt the dread of discovery. I must “never again ask her to be so foolish and wicked,” she said. In my answer I prom­ ised not to be selfish any more, acquaint­ ed her with her father’s plans and pointed out that if I were successful we might perhaps hope to approach Mr. Bruce. In about a fortnight I received my in­ structions and proceeded to hunt up the Berkshire registers; and a more weari­ some task I never undertook. In some cases the registers were well enough kept and were easy of access; in some they had been sold as waste paper or were altogether imperfect; while in a few instances they were so ill cared for that they had become well nigh value­ less, and one I found in a decayed old box in a loft over the vicar’s cow shed. At Abingdon and more espe­ cially at St. Nicholas the registers had been admirably preserved, and it was here that I spent the longest time; but.I failed to find the least trace of what I wanted, and not a word either of Dal- rymple Bruce or of Tryphena Maddams. Once at Bray and again at Wallingford I thought I was upon the track, while at Cookham a whole colony of Maddams appeared to have been born, married and buried, but not a Tryphena among them all. At St. Lawrence, Realing, there was a record of the marriage in 1793 of a certain Theodosia Maddams to David Bruce, and this bothered me a good deal until I discovered that Theodosia was the widow of one Hezekiah Maddams, “butcher of this towne.” After a la­ borious and painstaking search I came to the conclusion that I was on the wrong scent, and I returned to London in a gloomy and dejected mood. But Mr. Brace was very kind, and not only thanked me heartily for the trouble I had been at but marked the genuine­ ness of his satisfaction by presenting me with a check considerably larger than I was entitled to or expected. Mary, who had taken the deepest interest in the investigation, ^ld me one evening when I was dining at their house that she felt certain—she could not tell why—that I should yet, somehow—she could not tell how—unravel this Gordion knot; nay, that it was to be the means whereby we should attain the fulfillment of our hopes. I hoped with all my heart she might be right, but confessed to some skepticism on the point; for which unbelief I receiv­ ed the most delightful scolding from Mary; and “You are not to'laugh at me, sir! I will not be laughed at!” (Oh, the way she emphasized that “not!”) “It is very rude of you to laugh at ine, and you shall do penance!” Seeing that Mr. Brace was nodding over his book I did penance, though per­ haps not just in the way that Mary had anticipated. It was a very rash act on my part, but the temptation was irre­ sistible. You have never seen Mary or you would understand. Mary blushed horribly and was both scared and in­ dignant; but I pleaded eloquently for absolution and finally appeased her. At parting she said: “You will see, Charlie, you will find the thing out. Depend upon it. Women know things, you know, that men don’t know. Well, I know—I don’t know how I know, but I do know that you will discover this Dalrymple Brace’s mar­ riage. I’m as certain of it as I am that we—well, as of anything. So good night, and be a good boy and don’t con­ tradict. Nol not one, I declare!” (Alar­ ums, excursions.) The first news that greeted me on my return to my city chambers was that Mrs. Swatman’s mummified assistant, Mrs. Cramp, was seriously ill. Of course I lost no time in sqeing that she had proper attendance, and any little comfort that the doctor might think good for her. The doctor gave a poor account of her. Few men in chambers ever know anything of the inner life of their “laun­ dresses,” and from what I learned of Mrs. Crump’s surroundings I should say their ignorance was bliss. Study American History. Mrs. May W. Sewall, of Indiana, has addressed a circular letter to the teach­ ers of the state in regard to “Exposition Days” in the schools, which is worthy the attention of teachers in other states as well as Indiana. Mrs. Sewall says: The committee op education of the board of World’s fair managers of In­ dian^ have recommended the school au­ thorities to set aside certain days in the school year to be called Exposition days, with two distinct objects in view: First—It is hoped hereby to increase the means of the commission to make a good exhibit of Indiana’s educational status at the Columbian exposition. Second—It is hoped to stimulate the interest of young people in this exposi­ tion and to increase their intelligence upon the general subject of their coun­ try’s history. The object here indicated as second seems to my mind of primary importance, and the first object will probably be suc­ cessfully executed 1 direct proportion to the degree to which the second; is suc­ cessfully accomplished. I have been asked to prepare a pro­ gramme for Exposition day in the schools of our state. Though I have promised to do this work, I feel eiribarrassed by the following circumstances: First—The range of ages of the pupils in the different schools makes it impos­ sible that one programme should be suited to the capabilities of all. Second—The time that can be given to the making ready for this day, under the most favorable circumstances, is so lim­ ited that appropriate preparation of the pupils in any school is almost impossible. It therefore seems to me that instead of attempting to prescribe one pro­ gramme for thd exercises of all schools, regardless of the age of pupils, of the experience of teachers, and of such ac­ cessories as good reference libraries, files of newspapers, official reports of previous exhibitions, etc., I should best serve my fellow teachers by suggesting a study of this subject which contains the material for- many programmes, and is in itself rather suggestive than prescriptive. The time intervening between now and the opening of the Columbian; expo­ sition, which is set for May 1, 1893, is probably as good a time as this généra­ tion will enjoy for the study of American history. Dr. Holmes on Dragging Skirts. The Little Gentleman began: ’¡“Our landlady’s daughter is a young lady of some pretensions to gentility. She wears her trains very long, as the great ladies do in Europe. To be sure, their dresses are so made only to sweep the tapestried floors of chateaus and palaces, as those odious aristocrats of the other side do not go dragging through the mild in silks and satins, but, forsooth, must ride in coaches when they are in full dress. It is true that, considering various habits of the American people, also the little accidents which the best kept side­ walks are liable to, a lady who has swept a mile of them is not exactly in such a condition that one would care to be her neighbor. Why, there isn’t a beast or a bird that would drag its tail through the dirt in the way these crea­ tures do their dresses. “Because a queen or a duchess wears long robes on great occasions, a maid of all work or a factory girl thinks she must make herself a nuisance by ‘trail­ ing through the street, picking up and carrying about with her—pah! That’s what 1 call getting vulgarity into your bones and marrow. If any man can walk behind one of these women and see what she rakes up as she goes and not feel squeamish, he has got a tough stomach. I would not let one of ’em into my room without serving ’em as David served Saul at the cave in the wilder­ ness—cut off his skirts, sir! cut off his skirts!” I suggested that 1 had seen some pret­ ty stylish ladies who offended in the way he condemned. “Stylish women, I don’t doubt,” said the Little Gentleman. “Don’t tell me that a true lady ever sacrifices the duty of keeping all about her sweet and clean to the wish of making a vulgar show. There are some things that no fashion has any right to touch, and cleanliness is one of those things.”—“Professor at the Breakfast Table.” The Crocheting Passion. Where there is one woman who fakes up crocheting merely to busy her fingers when she would otherwise be doing ab­ solutely nothing there are a dozen oth­ ers, especially in country towns, who do fancy work with a vengeance, as if their lives here and . happiness hereafter de­ pended on the number of pretty knick- knacks they could make in a week or month. 1 know one woman who has already begun her gifts for next Christ­ mas. It is with her a frenzy, a passion and she is deforming her back and weakening her eyes in the work. To such extremes is the mania carried that iron holders are embroidered and laun­ dry bags made most elaborate. These articles are often too elegant for’ the purposes for which they were intended. —Brooklyn Eagle. “SWEET SIXTEEN’*—AN EXQUISITE CALENDAR. I caught up the pamphlet and examined it. In a wretched room in a disreputable looking building in a squalid court off Drury lane the poor old creature had her home. Home! A room not jtnuch larger than an old fashioned cupboard; a crazy, tumbledown old wooden bedstead, with quite unmentionable bedolothing; two rickety chairs and a table to match; a deal washstand, with a broken basin; a triangular bit of looking glass scratched and smeared; four or five moldy books on the top of a painted deal chest of drawers, from which the drawers were fnissing. These, together with a few household gods—-a kettle and saucepan and a torn and discolored fragment of ' drugget—formed the furniture of the place. Three of the panes of glass in the solitary window were smashed and the holes filled.up with what appeared to be , fragments of old stuff petticoats. In this delectable apartment Mrs. I Crump lay, and there my doctor attended I her. She wanted for nothing that we could provide her, and one evening at I Mr. Brace’s 1 managed to interest him 1 and Mary in the old woman, insomuch that Mr. Brace not only permitted Mary to visit her, but himself sent to her at I various times a quantity of port out of his own cellar. He had his reward. I •’ (TO B3 CONTINUED) Hood’s calendar, whicji is always looked for with interest and pleasure, has made its appear­ ance for the year J 894, and is in many fespects more beautiful than ever. The head is that of a lovely girl just “ sweet sixteen,” lithographed in delicate and natural colors. Besides being a thing of beauty, the calendar is especially valu­ able for the general information presented. The figures are plainly printed in pleasing and harmonious colors, and. the effect as a who'e is most satisfactory. The calendars can be obtained of almost any druggist, or by sending si^ (6> cents in stamps for one and ten (10) cents for two to C. I. Hood. & Co., Lowell, Mass.

The history of this prepara­ tion is entirely unique, the business having grown from a small retail trade until at the pres- i ent time the great laboratory in which it is ¡made has a capacity for fifty thousand (50,000) ! bottles a day, and is the largest building in the world devoted to the manufacture of a medi­ cine. The sales of Hood’s Sarsaparilla in all sections of the country are enormous.

I The fact that great care is exercised in the preparation of this medicine and* that nothing ! has ever been claimed for it except as warranted ; by previous cures has much to do with the con­ fidence felt by the public in its curative powers. I The motto of the proprietors is, “ It is not what I we say, but what Hood’* Sarsaparilla does, that tells the story, and it is what Hood’s Sarsaparilla has done, as shown by the published statements of persons whom it has cured, that has placed ! it at the head in the field of medicine in the present day.”.
