Here, after ten years, he re­ ceived a letter that Cousin Angienette Was romintr on to viflit. him Mnri hU sister Hannah. The old man had •ever forgotten "the chipper little «irl" he had been so fond of in bis younger days. . Hannah didn't like the idea of hen relation's visit, she was fearful (knowing Dan's feelings), as to what it might lead to, Dut there was noth­ ing to do but consent. "You'll have to write the letter, Daniel. I don't seem to feel like It* my stomach's so weak. 1 s'pose I I shall be sorry 1 had her come. I don't want her meddling with mr cookin'." That day week the three were seated in the best room, which led out of the kitchen. It was a mere box of a room, and had a musty odor, it was so seldom opened. Two large, old maples sbaded the windows, and grew so near that they seemed like grim sentinels, forbidding the light of Heaven. "1 don't see you look so much old- er*n you did ten or fifteen years ago, Angienette," said Daniel, as he crossed oue leg over the other, and tried to make himself stationary in the slippery horsehair chair with its hard, unvielding seat. "Wa'al, I don't know's I feel old; I've got health 'n seven nice children! They alnt nothin' they dont' try to do for me, seuce their poor father died. But I'm 55 next month. That's older'o you, Hannah, by three yeara" "I hain't never had sech health as you've bed/' said Hannah, as she left the low chair and took a seat in one the back of which was tall and straight and stiff. Her tlgure was little and firm and her complexion, though colorle s, had the hue of health. •'Why, you never was sick hut once, Hannah." said the brother, "'n that was more'n twenty years ago." ••Well, I aint been real sick, but I don't seem to feel so strong as 1 was. I git dreadful tired washin' 'n ironin' the same day." 4,I sh'd think you would," said her cousin; ' what makes ye dp it?" "Good land! 1 alwuz did.

"Go 'long, Jenny," 6aid DanieL "She don't care much for what I say," he added, looking across the water to the dark mountain beyond. "That's cause you're gentle with ber, Daniel.

Boiled Parrots, Puppies, Scrap Iron, and Oraashoppers for Hale. The articles seen in the market I will here give as .they were written down during a recent Sunday morn­ ing visit, says a writer in the New York Advertiser. One department is under cover and is tilled with assorted fruits, including oranges, lesuocs, limes, pineapples, pears, peaches, plums, bannaoas, quinces, alligator pears, cocoanuts, and many other tropical fruits, most of which, owing to the high market tax and costly transportation, sell at about New York prices. The streets and side­ walks in the vicinity are lined with men, women, and children, who are seated on the ground surrounded by their market products, which Include besides the ordinary vegetable market product, parrots, pigeons, un- weaned puppie's, game chickens, pet lambs, haltered pigs and kids. Then chere are heaps of old iron, bird tages, cheap cilt^o, brass jewelry, boiled corn, potatoes, stewed pump­ kins, beans, pepper, cooked and raw pigs' feet, sheep heads, hearts, lights, and entrails.

He did not say that a good share of the running after was done by him* self, save on the few occasions when Jbe chanced to be from home. The second week in September had come, and Cousin Angienette's visit was almost over. Mie was to leave the next day but one.

One of the most startling discoveries was male yesterday by Dominick Casey of Kan­ sas City, a QjBuiuer iu kooq standing of thf the t.rianplc faction of the Clan-na-GaH and a patriot who has freed as much of Ireland as any man of his years and weight in the United States. Mr. Casey viewed with approval the long reach of the arcade plat­ form, and he found nothing to cavil at in the disposition and furnishings of the waiting-rooms and offices, then he went across the street to Car- mody's to get aconpd'oeif---they have them for lo cents, says the St Louis Globe-Democrat From this point of vantage Mr. Casey approved even more highly ot the structure than before; there were suggestions m it of the custom-house on the Liffey, and the great stairway is strikingly like the entrance to Kilkenny castle. But as from the consideration ot the whole facade Mr. Casey came to the examination of details his brows darkened and his teeth shut wlt,h a. sbap. tie walked across the street to pake sure, not wishing to utter any statements under a mistake, and he glared at the great lanterns that em hellish the front, each of which beirs a rampant lion that evidently "had flew the coop" out of the royal arms of England. "Well," Mr. Casey said, reflective­ ly, "I'll be hanged." Then he said it again. Next he went up to a sym­ pathetic policeman and made the remark onc^ more. The policeman followed Casey's accusing finger with his eyes and grasped the fact of the lion. Its tail was up and it was making motions with its front legs ID the air. Its mouth was curved op in a mocking smile, and its mane and back were as fancy as so much Sor­ rento work. "They talk about the American Protective Association running Kan­ sas City." Mr. Casey said, "but I'll be hanged if they could put u.p their signs and tokens on a pub ic building )n our town without taking them down again. Who did it, anyhow?" The policeman meekly admitted that he did not know, this being the first time his attention had been called to the outrasre. "Well, can't you report iCnow you see it? D'ye mean to tell me nothing will be done about a thing like that? Why--but language withered un­ der Mr. Casey's deep disgust, and he turned his back to the new station and haughtily declined even to look at it again as he walked away. WHERE INSECTS DO THRIVE.

One of the first things that struck me in Montserrat was that nearly all the plantation houses were sur­ rounded by white sand. Wheo I asked about it I found the reason sufficiently startling. There are serpents In Montserrat, and great spiders as large as a child's head, and centipedes and scorpions and myriads of small green and brown lizards. It is to keep these creatures away that the sand is brought up from the beach and spread around the houses. Snakes and spiders and other crawl­ ing things do not like to make them­ selves too prominent, and they hesi­ tate to cross a wide strip of white 6and. When they try it they are easily seen and killed. I had a chance to spend only one nijpht in the mountains of Montser­ rat, but then I learned the necessity of surrounding the houses with white sand. Of course no such pains were taken with the mountains cabins,and I made the acquaintance of a-fine variety of insects. My arrival at the cabin was very different from the way in which I went to the Jamaica cabins. There the colored people, though hospitable, were entirely independent; and knew they could either take me in or send me about my business, as they chose. In Montserrat tbev are more depend­ ent upon the planters, and when Moses, my valet, rode ahead t& JLeli the people of the cabin that he and a guest of "Maws Colonel" would do them the honor to spend the night in their house, the effect was very- much as if some Englishman in New York should receive a cable saying that the lJrince of Wales would be over in the Campania to spend a week with him, Moses made no bones about having everything taken out of the room we were to occupy and making a thor­ ough search for insects. He even pulled up some of the floor boards and poked into the thatch. The first thing he unearthed was the most savage looking tarantula 1 ever saw. This fellow when in motion looked quite as large as the crown of a derby hat; but when we killed him he coiled up into a lump about as big as your tfst After killing the ground spider, as the negroes call it, Moses found a pan full of centipcdes and scorpions in the walls and thatch and drove out a tew hundred small lizards. I do not mind the lizards, for they are as playful as kittens. They are not slimy like our northern lizards, but clean, and always very pretty. They are are precisely like the chameleons the New York girl had a fancy for wearing a few months -ago., --New York Sun. Incombustible paint for woolwork may be made by, mixing the desired color in powder in water, saturated with potash, t > which a little starch paste has al-o been adried to stitven it. Woodwork coated with this paint will npt burn nor blister in the neighbor- boo 1 of a stove or gas light. A "polish" pre'erab'e to varni-h for furniture may bo made by boiling a saturated solution of pofcish in w ater, and aid­ ing, while it boils, pieces of beeswax.

Much of the artistic ironwork now in use is hel l together by tcews and nuts. These are liable in time to be­ come loose, and it is well to know that the oints may be made tight again by simply hammering the nnts on the edge, which makes them smaller and enables one to screw up the piece as firmly as at first. To THE devotees of TFRANT! opera and the amuse meat-xotux public In general the an­ nouncement that the 'IStvary Grand Eng­ lish Opera Company would be heard at the Chicago Opera llouse, commencing with Suuday night, hai attracted the greatest attention. Marie Basta Tavary is without a peer, and the fact that she appears under the sole direction and management of Mr. Charles 11 Pratt is especially gratifying. There is no manager In America to-day more capable to present English grand opera thau Mr. Pratt, who in the past has managed such tours a* that of Marie Rose, Clara Louise Kellogg, Annie Louise (Jary and the late Emma Abbott. Marie Basta Tavary has attained the height ot artistic fame, aud the success with which she has appeared In the most difficult roles has made her a famous singer. Hor voice possesses the greatest volume, being true and crys­ tal-like in its purity, and characterized by sympathetic sweetness and flexibility, the ftas a pupil oC Marches!, and her past achievements have repeatedly made her the heroine of the hour in the Grand Opera Houses of St. Petersburg, Munich, Milan. Paris and Covent Garden in London. The organization which will support Madame iavary will be most notable, Mr. Pratt's am billon heinff 1/1 nnu.nt nrunil stronger in cast of characters and greater in accessories and perfection of detail than lias ever before been attempted. The or­ chestra carried by the company Is under the direction of Slgnor Amerlco Morreale. from the Italian opera In the City of Mex- lco. He is a genius as a musiclun, and is said to possess tlio greatest of capabilities as a director. The repertoire of works to be interpreted during this engagement is 1 articularly notable for its groat variety, and will be presented with a preciseness heretofore unknown in English grand opera. The list ,of artists in support of tfailam«"iavary 'includes Emma Narlaal, Henrietta Dreyer and Sophie Ro- uianl, prima donna sopranos; the nieizo- hopranc being Mme.

Everybody knows that much, per­ haps most, of the f-o-called Mocha cof­ fee sold in the United States is no such thing, but only a few persons know how some of the counterfeit Mocha is nade.
