PMSCO’IT.‘ Some people seemed to think that it was almost a pity bliss Broadlands should be so liberally endowed. “ She is so pretty. and she is so rich," they said, a little sadly, and they appeared to owe her a grudge for hav- ing so much. If she had been simply pretty, or simply rich, it Would not have been so hard to hear, and they could have forgiven her more easily. Lovers? Of course they were always about her. Sending flowers and tonbons, writing verses, and dedicating symphonies to hencharms. - "Quite natural that a girl with a fortune should not lack suitors," a Ligand said to her one day. "How many do you think you would keep, dear, if you were as poor as my girls ?" “ Few, no doubt," she answered, gayly; but the shaft went home. She became more indifferent than before ; but this very indifference piqued and pleas- ed her admirers. Every one of them believ- ed himself able to overcome it ; they ivan‘t'e'd all the more what was out of their reach ; it surrounded her with an atmosphere" of mystery ; they could not understand her. Constant Stanley, however, flattered him~ sslf that he had penetrated her fine reserve, and perhaps this was merely because bliss Broadlands was nearer being in love With him than with any one she had ever met; since she half suspected that her personality attracted him, and not her purse ; that her money was but dross in his eyes; because she was more receptive to his flatteriss, did not laugh at his half-tender nonsense, and toss it back to him with pretty sarcasm and raillery. , . . “ If I am ever obliged to earn my livrng," she said on one occasion, when the subject of woman's wages and work was under dis- cnssion, “ I shall become a nurse." _ . ‘ ” Heaven grant that I may he an invalid at that time i” said Constant. _ "And I,” put in another admirer, ”will he the attending physician? “ You. could do something better than that,” Constant added, aside; "you could keep house for me." . "If everybody were only sincere}: she thought, regardin him, “ and never flirted or talked to pass: '3 time merely ; if money were not the root of evil 1” Miss Broadlauds was all alone in the world, with her beauty and her money, but she filled her splendid house with company, or she passed the time at some guy summer resort with friends ; sometimes she made a pilgrimage to her mar: of business, lldr. Stan- nops, living in a neighboring city, in order to know how she stood, she said. After her return from one of these visits at one time it was observed by a few of the sharp-sight- ed that she no longer entertained as freely as before ; presently she had sold her saddle- horse. “I am going to try walking,” she exclaimed. "The doctors think it is healthier for me.” _ “ But you are the picture of health," said (Ernstsnt, with a tender glance. “ Yes; but an ounce of prevention, you know, is worth a pound of cure." t’rtsently it leaked out that she had sold a lot from her ample garden. and one day the town was electrified to find the Broad- lsnds estate under the hammer. Miss Broad- lands had gone away some months before, and it was rumored that she was in straining school for nursesâ€"a rumor which was con- firmed when she returned to enter a hospital of the city in the capacity of a nurse. Those who had rudged her her good fortune now said : " .‘ a is so pretty that pity is thrown swa upon her; beauty is dower enough. No oubt it is hard to lose money, but it. is harder still never to have had any to lose.” And her lovers! “She is so busy," they said, ”we can not see her unless we fall ill or go mad." However, there were no more flowers heapci upon her, verses and sym- phonies were no longer inscribed to her name. She had passed out of fashion. lut Miss Broadlsnds was not discomfortcd. It was a new world, this world of patients, where she was a shining light. She had wuricd of that olher world of sham lovers and fashion. ‘Here she was secure ; nobody could be tempted to make love to h r ever again. unless his heart were in it.

You. will never make my smile, my glance, my bloom, immortal on your canvas. You would not care to paint me through the reins now. Do you remember the night you told me I was more beautiful than ever 2” g " I remember," he cried- "Shall I change my allegiance because fortune changes her side 2" ' " You can’t help it. You love beauty.” “ I love you," and he' kissed the scarred cheek. , Miss Broadlands had found her true-lover at last-La lover who valued neither wealth nor beauty, and whom she had tested more heroically than she had meant to-do. Had fate taken the affair out of her hands! “ A thousand congratulations, my dear Stanley," said Mr. Stanhope one day, meet- ing the artist. “Ah. you are doing a fine thing for yourself, my boy. Hist i not a wordâ€"I'll tell you a secret. You fancy you are marrying a beggar, eh 1 Nothing of the kind.

I don’t blame you. .“Jokesl Mississolcmnetrnthrthank fins your stars ! ’ As for Stanley, he felt as if a cold wind had blown them apart. The woman whom he believed all truth and sincerity practising a. deep-laid scheme if deception! Since neither her beauty nor her money had won him, what was it he loved but the lortiness of her nature, and was there any loftiness, any nobility, in playing a part, even to test a lover? This is not the woman with whom he could spend a happy lifetime in glad confidence ; this was not the woman he had loved. And so it happened that he left only a few lines of explanation for Miss Broad- lands when he set out for the ends of the earth alone. As for Miss Broadlands, she returned to the old homestead again. " She has recover- ed her mouey," people said, “but she will never be pretty Miss Broadlands again." It was years afterward that the picture of " Delilah," by an nnknowu artist, made a rent stir in fashionable art circles. Miss lroadlands went to see it among others. There was the erfect rmile, the l quid eyes, the flower-like loom. the exquisite features immortalized. " He remembers, after all,” she thought. “ He remembers." Nobody else remarked that it was a por- trait of pretty Miss Broadlands.â€"11arper's Bazar. â€"â€"â€"â€"‘«<->”.â€"â€"- Sunday in London. Talk about the Sunday MW and its on- forcement in Baltimore.

For more than twenty years I have had'intimate relations with many of them, and I find a refinement, a delicacy, a. generosity existing in their character which many foreigners have failed to acknow~ ledges]. 4 ' . Referring to impressions he continued, "I have made but one statement since I have been here, and that was at a private house, where I thought‘my utterances could not possibly reach the press. I was talking to some young men, and told them the great mistake. they made was not in educatin themselves butter and more thoroughly. The women of this country are better edu- cated than the men, and this can but have a. bansful effect. Poland is a historical ex- ample _of it. It is the cause of more divorces in your country than anything else. Your young men go to work at 16. There sisters 7do not marry at.16, car 17 ; they begin to marry at 18.

Their sisters marry some good fellow who has an income of $5,000 or $6,000 a year, for in marrying so they know they can secure the comforts of life. The hus- band is thoroughly good-hesrtcd and gener- ous, and that is not all a woman wants. She wants refinement and. culture as well. If ‘r husband is not her equal. No nation can survive where the women are better educat- ed than the men. “ There is a peculiarity I have noticed here," he went on, changing the subject, " and that is, there are no children in the United States. They are little men and women. Preoocity you would call it. I love children and never fail to talk to them. The children here talk like old people, dress in f nrbclows and jewellery, just as if they had come out of a Paris shop, and act like grown people. It is the strength and glory of England that children are children up to at least 16 years of age."

Modern Architecture in London. “’6 have been using this " breathing time " of the year, remarks the London Builder, in making a tour of the metropolis in order to use what is doin . and how it is being done. And our ram los have been, on the whole, attended with the highest gratification. At no time within our mem- ory has there been more original or refined work going on than at present. It would really seem as if we were at last on our way to the evolution of a new at 'le or series of styles adapprd to our age as wants: at an rate. it is coming increasingly difficult to answer the layman’s q 'on: “What is the style of that building Oar works are beginning,” show “style" in its proper \ s can point to facades in business thoroughfares marksdjby Greek feeling and refinement, without a single ancient feature or a single borrowed detail : and to others which have all the lay and fancy of the' best Br'niasanco work, with yet a. distinct- ively [.mo flavor; and again to others which p.sscrve all the picturesqueness and variety of Flemish originals without any of the original irrational puuili .

The mist rain did not prevent us from further exp oration of the q msrly occupied by soldiers, but now given over entirely to Indians. The beach is strewn with canoes just in from fishing, and women are busy cleaning the fish to dry and keeping an eye on the babies. Said babies, from six years down to infancy. are out on the Sound paddling around by themselves in canoes. On the common a crowd of Indian boys were playing bass ball. Though all their talk was in native tongue, they cried in English, .“out,” "foul," “one strike," as they had learned from seeing sailors play. Their actions were very amusing, and their ball looked and felt like a tato tied up in a rag. A. lot (of girls sitting on a pile of high boulders overlooked the scene, and busied themselves in nurain rag dolls, whose wooden heads showed skill in carving that seems wonderful from ~thirsc untaught people. These Indians are so superior in many ways to tribes of the» plains that any progressive person would naturally become interested in their advancement. The Pres- byterian Mission established a school here five years ago that, after a hard struggle, has at last come to a firm footing, and, with those at Wrangel and other ports, has done much to suppress witchcraft crucifies, and to teach Indian girls industry and virtue. , The chief is generally appointed special policeman for Indiantown. The present chief is “ Captain Tom," a good officer. hav- ing great influence with his tribe. lie has acquired $8,000 by trading, owns a good house, bought from a departing Russian, and sports a brass-buttoned blue suit. Quite as conspicuous as himself is his fat squaw, who gives her name as " Mary Tom,” and is also a great trader, having $5,000 to her own account, profits as “ mid- dleman” between her own eople and the whites. She has the wabb ing walk char- acteristic of her people, caused by their all being pigeon-toad from continual rquatting, instead of sitting, to rest. All the Indians wear American-made shoes and stockings, and one is rarely seen barefooted. Their comjlâ€"rxions are fair as light Japanese, the babies being almost white. The humid at- mosphere and luck of sunshine cause this effect. but also cause another that is less agreeable, inflammatory rheumatism. We have seen several persons drawn all out of shape with it, and. several dwarf children, This last speaks well for their humanity, as it is the custom of Indians to put dwarfs to death. ’ There is noagriculture at Srtka except gardening, to which the Indians have lately taken on their own accouh, with success as to hardy vegetables. These, with abund- ance of cod, halibut, salmon, deer. grouse, and numerous berries to be had with little labor. enable them to run better boarding g houses than the usual. summer resorts. There are no cattle or sheep in Alaska, and except game. no meat 'unless the steamers furnish occasional supplies to a favored few. There are four cows who do duty at Sifka, and three males who do nothing ex- cept on rare intervals. Before reaching there the tourists discussed quite warmly whether it would be wiser to go on horse- back cr in hacks to see the town.

Among the many uses of the printing press none is more novel than the produc- tion of imitation stained glass. Desrgns for any pattern desired are engraved on wood. The blocks of wood are laced on an old- faahioned hand~prcss, an then are inked with oil colors compounded with special re- ference to the use for which they are intend- ed. Then a sheet of very thin hand-made porous paper is laid on, and a prolon ed im- pression given, in order that the on or may thoroughly permeate the paper. Each col- or is, of course, printed at a separate imo prcssion. Having completed the printin process the different pieces of paper whic com one the design are soaked in warm wa- ter alf an hour, taken out, the water rponged off and then coated on one side with a thin cement. A similar cent of cc- ment is given the glass to which the paper is to be applied, and then the paper is laid on in place, and varnished over.
