II1S HOUSEKEEPER. "Miss Jsnnyl" "Well, Mr. Tressalyf" "I'm thinking of going to housekeeping." "Are ymi, Mr. Trcssatyr" "Yen. The fact is, I'm tired of boarding, and I think it would be a nice change, and nd I fancied you might recommend a housekeeper." "A housukeeperf What sort of one, Mr. Tressalyf" "Oh, somo nice old woman or other omebotly who oan make a snug little borne!" Jenny's eyas sparkled, and her pretty brows contracted with the momentary twitch. ' "I think I can recommend the very per son you want," said Miss Hope, curving her lip. "Can your Oh, Mine Jenny. I shell be a thousand times obliged to you. I'll engage her immediately, and I can look np the house afterward, you know. Who la ehef" "Well, it'a my aunt. Miss Zerulah riant. She's staying here now, and it has always town her ambition to assume the charge of a gentleman'a household. I'll call her at once, and you oan settle preliminaries as oon as you please." Miss Jenny swept out of the room with the steps of a tragedy queen. Luke follow d her with his eyes until the door was closed, and then leaned buck in his chair with a deep nigh, "If I only dared ask that girl to marry mel" Mies Plant was feeding her gray parrot when Jenny came Into her room. She was not young moreover, she was not pretty and she wore spectacles and a "false front," yet Miss Plant was still an the qui vlve for chance in the lottery matrimonial. "Anut, dear," said Jenny demurely, "I have just received a proposal for you." "For mof Oh, go 'long!" tittered Miss Plant, dropping the lump of sugar she was about to regale Pretty Polly with. "No, but Aunt Zeruiah, I'm In earnest." "Who Is Itr" said Aunt Zeruiah, putting her hand on her heart and mechanically feeling to see if her glossy black curls were all straight. "Air Tressaly. He wants to go to house, keeping and needs some ludy of mature judgment to preside over his household so go in and eee him." Miss Zeruiah waited to hoar no more, but made a drive for the door, leaving Jenny to finish the ministration to the gray parrot at ner leisure. The Limits of Human Hearing, Wo can do a great deal to cultivate the oar, but we can do nothing to ex tend the range of sounds which the tym panum can receive. The ear may have great keenness of perception, may hoar sounds extremely email, distant and faint, and yet be always deaf to any noise, however loud, if it is lower or higher in pitch than the tympanum is made for. Various experiment show that about the lowest, or what in a mu sical instrument would be called the deepest bass sound, consists of 124 undu lations in the second, and the highest of rather more than 6,000. Human ears have not all the same compass. A party of young people, all with exoellont hear ing, may go into the meadows, and some will hoar the shrill note of the common grasshopper, and some will not hear it even faintly, but simply hear nothing at all. Dr. Wollaston believed that "human hearing never extends more than a note or two above the cry of the common Gryllus canipeBtris." He gives a scale of sound which he found to be inaudible to some ears. He found that some people could not hear the cry of the bat, nor the chirping of sparrows, which is four oc taves above i in the middle of the piano forte. Not to be able to hear this last note he considers to be very rare. He believes the whole range of human hear ing to be compressed between the deep est notes of the organ and the highest cries of the insects, including fully nine octaves, the whole of which are distinctly audible to most ears, New York Home Journal. Cultivating Color In Cats. Never have cats held so important a position in the animal world as they do at the present time. In days gone by pussy's chief value consisted in ber capa bilities as a mouser, and so long as she accomplished her work satisfactorily that was all that was required of her. Nobody troubled as to the shortness of her face, the sire of her ears, or the lengt h of ber tail. Every one was per fectly satisfied with her sober gray coat and four white feet. Her green eyes, too, we all took quite as a matter of DKCIDRDLT SHAKY. course. But now a very different state "You sent for me, sir?" said Miss Zeruiah. of affairs exists.

Every good thing has its host of imitat ors; every genuine article its counterfeits. The imitators always choose the most val uable and popular article to counterfeit, so that when they claim their sham to be equal, or as good, or the same as " So and ho's," the public may depend upon it that " So-and 8o'e " article is the best of the kind. The sham proves the genuine merit of the thing it copies, and never has this been better illustrated than by the imita tions of A LLcoex's I'oaoiis Plastsbs. Am-cock's Poboits Plasties is the stand ard oi excellence the world over, and its imitators in their ory that theirs is "as good as At.ioot'g's" are only emphasizing this fact and admitting "Aumrs's " tn h the acme of perfection, which it is their uigneat aruniuon to imitate, ins diner enoe between the genuine and these imita tions, which copy only general appearance, is as wide as that between copper and gold.
