AUNT CILIA'S MECES.
It was that pluasiititest time of all
tho year, when apple-trees wore in
bloom ami llio meadows were starred
over with dandelions, and Livia Lay
ton sat iu the window of tut) cottage
sewintr, with her exquisite profile out
lined like a eatneo against tho darkness
of the inner room.
Somehow Livia Layton was always
doing pretty things. Doubtless there
were disagreeable services to be per-
formed at Sycamore cottage ns well as
elsewhere, but if any one did them it
was not Livia. Old Aunt Cecilia Ham
say had been nick and died there, but
Livia had kept well away from the
Invalid's chamber.
"I never could endure sick people,"
aid Livia, with a shudder. "The very
light of medicine makes me ill; and
the air is always so stilling, and inva
lids groan so, and make themselves so
disagreeable."
"Hut, Livia, they can't help it," said
downright Patty, who had worked like
a beaver.
"Well, then, they ought to," assert
ed tho beauty.
And her systematic avoidance of
' lifo's unpleasantness was all the ensicr,
becauso, as she herself remarked,
Patty Rcomed to taku to such things so
naturally.
Here sho sat, the blonde-haired,
blue-eyed elder sister, stitching in the
pink reflections of the apple-trees, cool
and bealilic, while Tatty trudged up
from the village, her face unbecoming
ly llushod and her poor little patched
. .boots uoverod with dust,
r "Dear me,1' said Livia, critically sur
fve ing tho newcomer, "how horridly
.. ))ot and duxty yon look! Did you get
tiif French roils?"
'Yes."
"And my nolo paper and postago
' stamps?"
"les."
"And the toilet soap and ootFeeP I
will not drink that miserable stuff they
keep hero any longer!" protested my
lady.
"I have got them all," said Patty,
fputtiug her parcels on the table and
stretching out her wearied arms to rest
the muscles, "and ft letter ' from the
postotlice, too!"
"Kor meP"
"Yes, for you. Livia, why does Mr.
Valiquct keep wining to you every
quarter just tho same as lie did when
Aunt Cilly was alive?" '
"1 suppose bu wants to be sure we
, are uot dying of starvation," Livia re
torted, with u short lauli.
"We are no business of hist"
"He was Aunt Cilly's nephew. We
are her nieces."
' 'But it's on tho other side of tho
fiimilv. We are no rrhtlion at all to
him.'1
"And it's no great loss to us, I im
, agine," said, L'via, with a toss of the
' fair head.1 "A haughty, supercilious
fellow, wlio has neverlakcn the trouble
to coma up hero and see us!'' .
"Why should he, Livia? Oh, Livia,"
exclaimed Patty, "what is that?''
For an oblong slip of paper had
fallen out of the letler.
Livia made a snatch at it, but she
was too lute. It was already in Patty's
hand. She was looking blankly at It.
"A check," she cried. "For 100!
Livia, why is Paul Valic)uet sending
you inonej P"
Livitt laughed ilix'uiihiiillv.
"Oil, you goose! ' she cried. "It's
for Aunt Cilly's board and lodging aud
medical expenses."
"lint Aunt Oily is dead and buried
long ago. Oh, L via, you don't menu
that that' he don't know it?'
"I do mean it," said Livia, coldly.
"I was told to notify him; it somehow
lipped my mind. Aunt Cilly surely
matie trouble enough when s mi was
alive, without being an extra care
after she was dead. And what did you
suppose we were living onP Dili you
want to see me going out ns hired help,
or to take a place at general house
work yourself? 1 never saw any one
to unreasonable in my life!"
"Hut, Livia, Hint was a falsehood
is a falsehood!" protested indignant
Pattv.
"Vholias told any falsehoods?"
To go on receiving money for the
use of a woman who is dead, from a
man who is a stranger to us don't you
call that a falsehood?"
"Ho needn't have been a stranger If
be had behaved himself as he oiiitht.'
"Give in l he check, Livia. Let me
aud it hack! ' pleaded Paty.
"I shall do nothing of the kind. Mr.
Valiquet will never miss the money.
He's as rich as Croesus, anil he ia used
to paying the sum once a quarter. Lei
aim keep ou!"
Tatty's cheeks flamed, her eyes
glittered.
"Livia!" sho cried; "I never could
have believed Ibis of you."
Livia laughed aud shrugged her shoul
ders. She had most agi'ievating ways
with her this angei-faced youn
beauty, with the hair of gold and the
eyes like melting blue jewels.
"It stings me to the very heart," said
Patty, breathlessly, "to think that all
these months I have been living on
charity. But I will do so no longer.
I should be afraid that Aunt Cilly's
ghost would rise up and haunt me. If
you are going to keep up this tissue of
deceit you must do it by yourself."
"Then," said calm Livia, "there
will be the more for me to spend.
Much obliged to you, I am sure. Donna
Quixota!"
' "Yes," said Mr. Valiquet, dolling his
hat to the tall, lovely girl who was so
like a pure Bermuda lily, "I suppose I
ought to have been down long ago to
see my good old aunt. But we city
people get involved in a perfect net ol
business absorptions. I chanced to be
passing through Wilmerding, ten
miles up the road, so I decided to make
a detour. S.io is us well as usual, I
trust?"
"Oh, quite!" faltered Livia, growing
hot and cold by turns.
"Mav I see her?"
"1 I shouldn't lino to disturb her,'"
stammered Livia, the chill drops ol
sweat dropping out on her brow, as
she thought of poor old Aunt Cilly
lying in the shadow of the churchyard
wall.
"No? Well, I'm sorry; but never
mind. I duro say you understand her
condition a deal better than 1 do. And
vou are the young huly who has been
iier guardian ungcl? Oh, you need
not blush. Mr. Balfour, the banker.
has told mo how laithftil a nurse you
are. We are both Aunt Cilly's rela
tives. Does thut not constitute u sort
of kinship between us?"
Ho held out his hand with a frank
smile?"
Livia's heart beat high with exulta
tion as she gave him her own in return.
"And your sister! You have a sislerP '
Livia hesitated.
In such a network of treachery it
was impossible to escape without a lie.
"My sister has left ua," she mur
mured. "She resented living on the
money you send us quarterly !"
"As if it were not my duty to send
it, your privilege to receive it!" be
cried. "Of all falso pride that is the
falsest!"
"I endeavored to convince her of
that, but"
"And she has gone away and left you
with all the cure of tiis infirm old
lady on your hands?"
Livia's eyelashes gradually sunk; her
head drooped; but she uttered no word
of disclaimer.
All this was a kind of tableau and
Livia had a deal of theatrical element
about her.
"I never saw such a Madonna face
in my life," thought Paul Valiquet
"And she is my cousin, ton, iu a cer
tain way. Why did Aunt Cecilia never
tell me what a superb creature she
wasP"
As he pondered he looked up at the
porch roof, which had settled a little
to one side. He observed a blind flap
ping hingeless in the wind.
l lungs seem to bo out ot repair,"
said he. "I believe I had better pro
long my stay a day or two and give a
little personal supervision to the place.
You can tell me, 1 suppose, what needs
doingP"
"1 Bhall be so glad"' said Livia, "to
be of use in any way."
If ever a man was dangerously near
the pitfall of love at first sight it was
Mr. Valiquot that night.
Livia's heart throbbed; she was a
keen observer, and she felt somehow
that the supremo moment of her life
was drawing nigh.
Paul Valiquet went buck to the inn,
after promising to call early the next
da v.
From Sycamoro collage to the Fal
mouth hotel was a mile by the high
road. Across the mountain spur, past
the little stone church, one could
economize half the distance "for
ttieni," as the old wood-cutter grum
bled, "ns liked to go past dead folks a
nights." Mr. Valiquet entertained no super
stitious on tho subject; hut ho was a
little startled when, in the light of the
rising May moon, he saw a slight
figure close by the wall aud beard
something like a sob.
lie paused. Just then the church
door opened. Out canio tho grtzzie
bearded sexton with a lantern in bis
hand.
"Who Is that, my man?" whispered
Valiquet, motioning his hand toward
the white, shadowy thing that seemed
a part of the quivering moonliirht
"Miss Cilly Ramsay's ulece," toe sex
ton answered, in an undertone. "Not
the pretty oue the brown complected
one. Sho as powerful fond of the
old lady. She often conies here be
tween daylight and dark, aud brings
appleblows aud wild lilies aud tho
like."
"Miss Ramsay's ulece! But who is
buried IhereP"
"Why, Miss Cilly herself, to be sure
six good months ago. It wore when
llio leaves fell, in November."
"Miss Ramsav dead! My good friend,
you must bo mistaken. '
"We's all liable to mistakes," slow
ly said the sexton, "but I'm right this
lime sure, squire, for 1 dug the grave
and lowered down the culllii myself.
Come, Miss Patty, dear," ho said, rais
ing his voice, "I'm going I mini now,
and 1M he loath to leave' you here iu
this gloaming all by yourself."
'Are you Miss Patty Daytou?" said
Paul advancing to meet the slight
Heme that tliited among tho graves.
"I am Paul Valiquet, aud until this
moment 1 have been in utter iguor-
auee of mv aunt s death,"
Patty hung her head.
"Until to-day," she murmured, "1
thought you kuew it all. My lister "
'I know," said Paul, compressing
Ids lips. "I have josti'mux from there.
And you can 1 see you safe to your
home? Is it fai P"
"1 am boarding with the sexton's
wife," hastily answered Pally. "When
I found it out that you were kept iu
Ignorance, you know I could nol stay
with Livia any longer. I tench in thts
kindergarten," and earn a little for my
self. Please dou't trouble lo come out

She elided ou in advance. Valiquet

ton, lie soon learned all Patty's devo
tion, her fidelity to the poor' invalid,
and Livia's utter heartlessness.
As yet, however no one knew of the
crowning fraud by which the elder
sister hud managed still to receive
Aunt Cilly's quarterly allowance and
expend it for tier own use and behoof.
And Mr. Valiquet kept the secret.
He returned no more to Sycamore
cottage, greatly to fair Livia's per
plexity, but he often came down to the
sexton's dwelling. And one day he
asked Patty Layton to be his wife.
"But it can't be possible," said Patty
"that you love me. If it were Livia,
now "
"But it isn't Livia!" declared Paul.
"Darling, doyou thiuk I can't see that
white soul of yours shining through
its casket like a pearl? It is you that
I love your own sweet self!"
"I dunno," said thesexton, "whether
folks kuow in the next world what'sgo
in' on iu this; but if they do I'm cer
tain that old Miss Ramsey is glad up
in heaven that Miss Patty is married
to Squire Valiquet. An' as for we
down below me an' Deborah we're
glad that Miss Livia has got come up
with as she deserves." Saturday
Night.
Distribution of Seed.
Mr. Darwin found that tho small
portions of earth attaching to the feet
of migrating birds contained seed.
Nine grains of earth on the leg of a
woodcock contained a seed of the toad
rush. From six and a half ounces of
earth rolled iuto a ball and adhering
to the leg of a wounded partridge he
raised eighty-two separate plants of
five species. Migrating birds often
frequent tho edges of ponds ere their
departure, and in six and three-quarter
ounces of such mud he raised under
glass 637 plants. Seeds furnished
with crowns, boons, or prickles readily
stick to the plumage of birds, which
all such birds, aud especially such
wanderers as the albatross, might
carry loug distances. Apply these
facts to tho case of the Azores. Mr.
Wallace found that the most of the
plunts of the Azorean flora are well
adapted to be carried by the methods
just suggested forty-hve of tho 439
lloworiug plants belonging to genera
that have either pappus or winged
seeds, sixty-live to such as have minute
seeds, thirty to those with fleshy fruits
which are greedily enten by birds,
some have hispid seeds, and eighty-
tour are glumaceous plants well suited
to conveyance by winds and currents.
The ouly trees and shrubs of this iso
lated group are bearers of small berries,
such as the Portugal laurel, laurn
sl i nu s, aud elder, while those with
heavy berries, which could nol be con
veyed by the means suggested oaks,
chestnuts, hazels, apple, beeches,
alders, tirs are abseut, common as
they are iu Europe. The character of
the flora is that of the southwestern
peninsula of Europe, aud if we nssume
that oue-lialf of its species is indigen
ous the other introduced by European
settlers, liiere is still a rich aud varied
flora which Mr. Wullace thinks has
been recently, carried over nine Jjiin
miles of ocean by the means just in
dicated. There is probably no better
example of ocean migration than
tnat otl'ered by the Azores, ami it is be
lieved that the phueomeiia iu question
are still in progress, and thai 'JiH) miles
do not form the limit of tho distance 10
which this sumu ocean carriage ol
plants extends. Kdi.-burt) Utvieu.
Mr. Carroll's Portrait.
All Terryville, says the Hartford
Times, is laughing over the adventures
of Mike Carroll, a popular village
character, in a t ravelins photograph
gallery. Mr. Carroll is a sit'.;
fascinating brogue which escaped the
notice of the revenue ollicer when the
owner imported it from Cork. Ho is
of norlly proportions and was an
athfete iu bis younger days; always
good-humored when sober and exceed
ingly humorous at nil other limes, A
portable photograph gallery was put
together in the village and the villag
ers became enthusiastic. Mike, after
imbibing freely, visited tno gallery.
A contract was finally made aud Mike
sat down for his photo.
"Now keep perfectly still," said the
man with the camera.
"Keep still, is ilP" said Mine. "Nay
tluir you nor the likes o' you can make
mo keep still."
"But I can't take a good picture un
less you ait still."
"Well, it'a me that's payiu' for the
picturo, isn't UP" asked Mike, "an' if
it is I'll sit whichever way I like, an'
say whatever I plase, too."
By way of emphasis, Mike rose from
his sent and sat down again with all
his combined force aud weight. The
chair was on casters and Mike in ris
ing moved it away. As he sat down
he grazed the edge and went to, the
floor. Certain fastenings of the frail
structure gave way, aud in the jar two
corners of the building tumbled iu
upon Mike just as the photogtapher
caught the scene. There was a great
demand for the photographs at 74
cents each.
The Boat liaised Itself.
Speaking of remarkable incidents, I
can tell you one that I have seen
equaled, although it occurred more
than ha f n century ago. The steam
boat Charleston was on a trip from
Louisville lo St. Louis witti n big cargo
of suit in barrels. When just below
Grand Tower, on the Mississippi, the

tion. While they were preparing to
put her afloat again, after beiug at the
bottom of the river a day and u night,
she popped up with surprising suddou
upss with her deck to the top of the
water. The salt iu ihe barrels stored
on her melted when it came iu contact
with the water, and Ihe buoyancy of
the barrels raised the limit to l he sur

An Indian Horse Race.
From an article, written and illus
trated by Frederic- Remington in the
Century, we quote the following. "An
elderly Indian of great dignity of pres
ence steps into the ring, anil with a
graceful movement throws his long
red blanket to the ground and drops
on his knees before it. to receive the
wagers of such as desire to make them.
Meu walk up aud throw iu silver dol
lars and every sort, of personal proper
ty imaginable. A Winchester rifle and
a large nickel-plated Colt's revolver
are laid on the grass ueur mo by a
cowboy and an Indian, aud then each
goes away, it was a wager, and I
thought they might well have couli
dence in their stakeholder mother
earth. Two ponies, tied head aud
head were led aside and left, horse
against horse. No excitement seemed
to prevail. Near me a little half-Mexican
Comanche boy began to disrobe
until he stood clad only iu shirt and
breech-cloth. His father addressed
some whispered admonition aud then
led up a roan pony, praneiug witli im
patience and evidently fully conscious
of the work cut out for him that day.
With a bound tho little fellow lauded
on the neck of the pony only half-way
up; but his toes caught ou the upper
muscles of the pony's leg, and like a
monkey he clambered up and was in
his seat. The pony was as bare as a
wild horse, except for a bridle, and
loped away with his graceful little
rider sitting like a rock. No, uot like
a rock, but limp and unconcerned,
and as full of the motion of the horse
as the horse's tail or any other part of
him.
"A Kiowa, with loose hair and great
coarse face broke away from the group
and galloped up the prairie until be
stopped at what was to bo the starting
poiut, at the usual distance of 'two
arrow flights and a pitch.' He was
followed by half u dozen ponies at an
easy lope, bearing their hulf-uuked
jockeys. The Indian spectators sat
about on their ponies ns unmoved iu
countenance as oysters, being natu
ral gamblers, and stoical us such should
be, while the cowboys whispered among
themselves.
" 'That's the buy stallion there,' said
one man to me, us bu pointed to a
racer, 'and he's never been beaten. It's
his walk-over, and I've got my gun up
ou him with an Injun.'
"It was to be a living start, and they
jockeyed a good deal and could not
seem to get off. But presently a puff
of smoke came from tho rifle held aloft
by the Kiowa starter, aud his horse
reared. The report reached us, and
with a scurry the live ponies came
away from the scratch, followed by a
cloud of dust. The quirts Hew through
the air at every jump. The ponies
bunched and pattered away at a name
less rate, for tho quarter-race pony is
quick of stride. Nearer and nearer
they came, the riders lying low on
their horses' necks, whipping and
ky-yi-yi-iug. Tho dust in their wake
swept backward and upward, and
with a rush they came over the scratch,
with the roan pony ahead, and my lit
tle Mexican fellow holding his quirt
aloft, aud his Utile eyes snapping with
the nervous excitement of Ihe great
event. Ho hud beaten tho invincible
bay stallion, the pride of this Comanche
tribe, and as he rode back to his father
his face hud tho settled calm which
nothing could penetrate, and which
befitted his dignity nsa young runner."
The School Girl.
The school-girl in all her phases is
just now verv much in the public eye
aud heart. Everybody is interested in
her, from the fond mother who gives
herself no end of worry about the as
sension robe which, ,in the vernacular,
we call graduating dress in which hei
daughter is to take her flight into that
larger world that lies beyond the con
fines of school, to the proud young
lover who hopes to see his heroine win
all the honors and glories of her class.
Some tender soul has said that a
clusterof school-girls is a most pathetic
sight and a wonderful mystery. Their
sorrows are all before them ami their
romance, too. Soou they are to scatter
nut of their happy world to go
through the real novel that is nol
measured by three volumes. There
are two thiugs that surely wo should
never forget in thinking of these weak
and thoughtloss little women. First,
that it is unfair to tho girl ever to ex-
"t education to give her the mind oi
u boy, for tho nature of her mind is ns
different ns a young willow wand from
a sapling oak; nnd secondly, that she
is the woman ot the future, aud her
worth to the world will not be measured
by the amount of her lenrniiiir. which,
because of few years and delicacy of
frame, has its limits; but that ber
worth will be measured by her beauty
of character, which is capablo of de
velopment to a breadth and depth and
height beyond our mortal rckouiug.

Inventor Ellison's Queer Pillow.
Not long ago 1 called at Edison's
home, expecting to see him. Ho wasn't
there and Mrs. Edison told me she
lindn't seen him for three days. I
soou found that he was at his old tricks
working night and day in his labora
tory, having his meals sent to him aud
sleeping on 'the floor w ith his clothes
on and a stick of wood under his head
tor a pillow. When working he never
leaves his laboratory, and be seems to
thiuk that by keeping his clothes ou
he can better preserve tho nervous
tension after he has started to work,
Then he perseveres until he has ac
complished his purpose. His time he
regards as Very valuable, and this is
the reason ho doesn't want to come
here until it is necessary. His deaf
ness mil not improved any, remaining
about the same.
Paper Pulp Out of Sawdust.
A mill has been established at Otta
wa, Out-, which makes paper pulp out
of sawdust. The paper, made wuolly
from sawdust, is said to form an ad
mirable sheiilhiiig that is tit for build
ing after being laired nnd dried. A
belter quality of paper is made by
using oue-forlli waste paper. The
mill has a capacity for converting
about 13.000 tous of' saw dust, iuto puip

Judicilal Sermons.
It Is the custom
In New York courts,
whenever a prisoner
is called to the bar
for sentence, for the
presiding Judge to
preach a small ser
mon. Assuming an
expression that
would do credit to
the famous Pbnri
see, his Honor in
dulges in dreary
plnlitudes nbout crime, etc.
There is no excuse for thus heaping
additional contumely on the unfor
tunate criminal. On the contrary, the
constitutional clause prohibiting the in
fliction of cruel and uhusuhI punish
ments should protect the criminal from
dreary sermons. The following is some
what like the average judicial sermon:
'Smith, stand up. You are one of
the most infamous scoundrels I have
ever had before me in my Judicial ca
pacity, and vet. Smith, you seem to be a
man of fair intelligence, and may at one
time have been a useful citizen.
"It is most incredible. Smith, that an
American citizen in the nineteenth cen
tury, and in the broad glare of the noon
day sun, should so utterly forget his
duties as a parent, as a aa a yes, as
an American citizen as to go iuto a
grocery store on 118th street and brazen
ly steal a ham worth one dollar and a
half; and yet, Smith, thnt's what you
did. You have had a fair and impartial
trial before a most intelligent Jury; you
have had the services of the elegant
gentleman and learned counselor who
has conducted your defense, but a Jury
of your fellow citizens has found you
guilty. With that verdict. Smith I con
cur most heartily, for as I said before,
I regard you ns a man destitute of every
sentiment of honor aud decency.
"What right had you to swing on to
that ham and convert it to your own use
and profit? If the law does not call a
halt to such fiends as you, the arch upon
which rests the social fabric must crum
ble and bring down our most cherished
institutions in one common ruin, aud
our revolutionary forefathers will have
bled nnd died in vain. Moreover, when
arrested with the ham under your coat,
you souuded the lowest depths of In
famy by kicking the policeman on the
shin and taunting him with being a dirty
loafer. It is the sentence of the court
(hat yon bo confined in the penitentiary
for three years at hard labor. In passing
sentence on yon. Smith, I wish to warn
you that the law is not vindictive. In
your case I have tampered justice with
mercy."
