A Fairy story. Hummingbird Castle was the most inter- esting landmark in the whole country, be- cause it was the most mysterious and people knew less about it than any other place in the entire neighborhood. How long the magnificent building, with its hundred tur- rets, its many arched windows, its large portal and magnificent hall, had been stand- ing on Hummingbird Hill, nobody knew. Some of the oldest people said they remem- bered when it was not on the hill, but when they were asked who had built it they shook their gray heads and said they did not know. Neither knew anybody who lived in the castle, or who had ever lived in there. Even the most imaginative of the country‘s story-tellers was not hold enough to state that he know all about it because he had been there. So it was that Hummingbird Castle was, and it seemed to remain, a mystery. This castle was a beautiful structure. It stood on the summit of the hill from which the building derived its name among the people, and the fact that no one knowa how it had originated was enough to make the castle the subject of many romantic stories. Many a yaring young man had ventured up the steep ascent of the hill to get to the summit and explore the immediate vicinity of the castle. But it was in vain. Very few got as far as the inclosing walls before they turned back and, retraced their steps into the valley, One thing, however, was well known, and that was this: Every man wl'c had evsr attempted to find out the mysseries of Hummingbird Castle had died before he had been able to give an account of his investigation. Often the epic found the dead body of a man at the cot of the hill, and all knewâ€" at least they thought they knewâ€"that he had been killed by the master of the castle. From all these mysterious signs, however, which clearly tended to prove that it was best for everybody to remain away from the castle, the people become more and more anxious to know. They were not deterred by the fates of so many people who had veno tured before them. They did not care, it seemed, that death was staring them straight in the face. Their sense of curios. ity was aroused ; they became inquisitive to know what was going on in the castle, and hence they dcfied every thing to gratify their esire of inquisitiveness. There are a good many people like that in this world, who want to know everybody's business, although it does not concern them in the least. So it was with the people of the country around the Hummingbird Castle. I: was not essential that they should know what was going on in the castle, or who lived there. If they had minded their own busi- ness it would have been much more to their benefit and to their quiet of life. But no! They were filled with idle curiosity and they must know. In this manner time had gone on. The people around the Hummingbird Hill con- tinued to lock with curious wonder up to ward the castle, and every one sighed and said, “I wish I knew what was in there." The father would always include into his prayer at the dinner-table the sentence: " Pray, dear Lord, let us find out who lives in Hummin bird Castle." The schoolmas- ter and tone or in their school said to their pupils that they must try and find out the mysteries of the castle ; aye, and even the preacher in the church never closed his ser- mon on the Sunday morning before he in- voked the people not to for st and let him know whas was in theoutle f anybody hap- pened to get there and back without being killed. In the last few years so many people had died in the attempt to climb to the top of the bill that it looked as if the population of the country would soon be swallowed up by this craving of curiosity, Bus even that did not make the people hesitate. And al. though there were funerals going on all day to bury the broken bones that were scatter- ed around as the foot of the bill the people did not get any the wiser. It so happened, however, that there was a man living in the country who was full of wisdom. His house stood at the outskirts of a s‘msll village, where heralded all by himself. No one went over near his house, because it war rumored around among the people that the old man was a wiz 1rd. He had no relatives in all the world, it seemed, except a young man about '20 years of age. whose name was Goldenhair, on account of the mass of beautiful yellow curls that hung pc from his head down upon his shoulders. Goldenhair and the wizard were often slt~ ringin their little room in the small house together, where the old man would teach his young friend the wisdom that was con- tained in the many books that were stacked on the large shelves around the wall. Ooe dayâ€"it was just after Goldenhair had finished his very difficult lessonâ€"be said to the old wizard, whom he always address- ed as ,f’rofeucr: “Preferscr, " he said, “I am vs can for the poo ls of our land, and l Ifvvy'oudsrywhethsr nothing can be done to help them? " “ What is the matter, my dear boy. what do these perp‘e have to do with you 2" "Well, I am sorry for them. Of course you know all about Hummingbird Castle and the fact that no one can get into it. Now the people around here are just crazy to get inside of that building Ever so many have climbed up the hill and attempt- ed to get over the wall, but so far none of them have succeeded: in fact, all of them have died. Their bones have invariably been found at the base of the hill, smashed a ainsta rock or'a tree. Now, whatI would like to do is to convince them that the whole thing is foolish, and that there is nothing in the castle worth seeing so much as that any one should venture his life to get to it " “Bat, my dear boy, how do you know that 2" " Well, of course I am not sure, but it seems to me that a man's life should be worth more than all the secrets of all the myster- ious castles in the entire world.” “That is right, my boy, I like to hear you talk that way, and if the inhabitants of Hummingbird Cattle had been as wise as you, Hummingbird Castle would not be in existence now." ' Goldenhair locked at the wizard iu amaze- ment. “ You seem to know all about the castle, Professor." “ Yes, I do, and I now will also tell you I built that castle myself for the King of Colo. rado. This King had a daughter who was the most beautiful child in the world, but she was also the most inquisitive. Even when she was quite a little girl she would its her little note in everybody’s business. lifithe Lords of the Kingdom of Colorado sat in counsel, and put their'wise heads together to expound upon the benefits of the country, this little inquisitive Princess would run straight among them and ask them the most curious questions. Of course, this made the Lords mad, and they at last resolved that the Princess should be killed. They went to the King and demanded his child’s death of him. The chief mover in this frightful plot however, was an old lord with a bald head and one eye, who was incensed against the child because she had once asked him why he had only one eye and why he did not have any hair on his head. However, the king, when he was told that he would have to kill his child, because very grieved. You see he loved the child with all her faults. Just like any other father would you. know. He did not know what to do, because the lords were inexorable in their demand. In this perplexity I came to the king’s rescue. I went to him and told him that I would take charge of his child and cure her of her bad habit. I went before the lords of Colo- rado and told them I would take the child away from the country. They were satish- ed with this, because they said they did not care what became of the princess so long as she was not there to insult them. So I took her to this castle, which I built some hun- dreds of years ago for my own pleasure and amusement. Of course, you who know that I am a s irit and not a man, that I am an immorta wizard and note being of clay and dust. you know that I can do that. “But now, to return to these people in this land. I am going to give them a good lesson. They have worried themselves so much to find out the mysteries of Hummingbird Casâ€" tle, Now I will give them a chance to do so. Buthow I will punish them you shall find out later on. You have been the only one worthy of being my friend, because you did not stoop to waste your life by troubling about the inside of a house that did not belong to you, and you shall get your reWard. Now, go into the market place and tell all the people to assemble there and wait until I come, because I will show them the way in- to the Hummingbird Castle." - Goldenhair went and did as he had been hidden by the wizard. The people hailed him with delight when they heard what he had to tell them, and there was a procession goingtoward the mar- ket place in a very short time that was truly astonishing. Old men and gray- baired wcmsn, and people of all ages, were in the train, rushing and pushing with en eagerness and anxiety as if they were engag- ed in the race for eternal life and salvation. A: last the wizard appeared. He went to Goldenhair and whispered a few words into his ear, then turning around to the multitude he shouted : “Do you still persist in your wish to see the inside of Hummingbird Castle 1" "Yes," all of them said in one voice, ap- parently. - “All right, then,” replied the wizard ; “mind you, thereis not much to see there, and you are taking a great risk 1 Do you still persist in going 2’ “Yes l” they all shouted again. "But supposing you all get killed 2" “it makes no difference to us,” they cried "we want to see the castle, and that settles it. We don't care for our lives, but we want to know.” “Then all the blame falls on your own heads l" replied the wizard. "Now, if you follow Goldenhair be will lead you into the castle, but I must say cod by, for I have other business to stten to." Then he vanished, and Goldenhair turning around load the whole procession towards the hill. When he arrived there he walked around the bill three times. After the third time he touched the nod with his stick and behold i it open up like a big cavern. He entered this opening and be beckoned everybody to follow him. When all were inside he walked along until they ct into the center of the hill. Arrived srs,Goideuhsir took a whistle from his pocket and blew it. Immediately after the ground on which Goldenhair and all the inquisitive people stood was raised up like an elevator. This ascension lasted for about three minutes, when suddenly everything stopped. Goldenhair and the people looked around, and they found themselves in a large, beau- tiful marble hall. In the very center stood a massive altar, on which they could recou- n’zsd the shape of a beautirul young girl, dressed in a long milky-white gsrmsnt .At the head of this marble altar stood the wizard. He beckoned Goldenhair and the cpld to come forward and stand around When all was quiet, the the marble altar, wizard said : “Do you see this girl? She was at one time as inquisitive and curious as all you foolish people are, and she has undergone a punishment that has made her wise. Now you are in Hummin bird Castle, you see what there is here. s it worth the climb up the steep hill and standln the chance of being killed 2 No i you all s e your heads, for you know that I am right.” Then he told them all the story of the in- quisitive princess, and when he arrived at the end he said : “Now are you satisfied 2" “Yes i" all answered. a "Then go out of this door, a" A large door wont open and the people walked out. But no sooner had they step- ped into the grounds when they were all changed into monkeys. They ran around and climbed the trees, and acted just like the animals whose shape they bore. The wizard and Goldenhair were standing in the lar e ball of the castle and lookin at them. an Goldenhair became frightened. “Do not be afraid, my boy," said the wizard, "you were the only one who knew how to mind his own business and curb the feeling of curiosity, Come here, this young lady has sufi’ered long enough. \Ve will take her back to her father in thekiugdcmcf Gol- oradc, and you shall be her husband. " The w’zard had no more than spoken these words when he went up to the marble altar. Taking the young lady by the hand he as- sisted her on to the ground. Then all three returned to the kingdom of Colorado, where all were received with great rejoicing. The lords forgave the princess, when she prom- ised them that she would not be too inqusit- ve. The Care of the Hair. On this everlateresting subject, one of the “ Sutherland sisters" writes:â€" People are too rough in their treatment of the hair, especially those who have long hair. Ciro should be taken to avoid break- ing the hair. It should be combed gently with a very coarse rubber or tortoise sbell comb; the latter is the best. Never use a brush of any kind. They only irritate the scalp needlessly. Keeping the scalp per- fectly clean is the most important thing. Shampoo the head once a week. Produce astrong lather and clean the whole scalp thoroughly. Then rinse with clean water â€"scft water preferred. Now press the water from the hair with a dry towel, taking care not to rub and break the hair, and fan ituntll it is dry. Wait until the hair is perfectly dry before combing it, and then handle it as gently as possible.

When a woman has a hen to drive into the coop, she takes hold of her skirts with both hands, shakes them quickly at the de- lirquent and says, “Shoo, there i” The hen takes one look at the object to assure herself that it is a woman, and then stalks majestically into the coop. A man doesn’t do it that way. He goes outdoors, saying, "It’s singular nobody can drive a hen but me i" and, picking up a stick of wood, hurls it at the offending biped and yells, “Get in there, you thief l" The hen im- mediately loses her reason and dashes to the other end of the yard. The man plun- ges after her. She comes back with her head down, her wings out and followed by a miscellaneous assortment of stovewood, fruit cans, clinkers and a very mad man in the rear. Then she skims under the barn and over a fence or two and around the house back to the coop again. all the while talking as only an excited hen can talk, and all the while followed by things convenient for throwing, and by a man whose coat is on the sawbuck, whose hat is on the ground, and whose perspiration is limitless. By this time the other hens have come out to take a hand in the debate and help dodge missiles. The man vows that every hen on the place shall be sold at once, puts on his hat and coat and goes down town. The woman comes out, goes right to work and has every one of those hens housed and counted inside of two minntes.â€"-Mobile Register. Peanuts. The consumption of peanuts is 3,200,000 bushels a season, and the highest production is but 700,000 bushels more. All these peanuts are raised in Virginia, North Carolina, and Tennessee, but the Tene- see production is comparatively small.

The underskirt of silk is accordion pleated, or else laid in lengthwise tucks, brier-stitch- ed about half a yard deep. The skirt falls frrm thence in natural folds which flare con- siderably, but are held in place by the tucks above. Four or five rows of ribbon are fre- quently laid across the foot of the skirt. The sleeves are tucked to correspond, or the mutton leg or bishop sleeve is substi- tuted, with ribbon rows around the deep cuffs. The desire to rise above law and rule and be individual is noticeable not only in dress and its accessories but in the matter of the coifi'ure. As a result there is a pleasing med- ley of styles in hairdressing, no one fashion seeming to lead. The emigrant twist is pop ular with many, especially with women who like the princeese bonnet. There are high coifi'ures in Cleveland, J osephine, and Pom- padcur styles, and low coifi'ures in Russian fashion accompanying the short full ban over the forehead ; in Greek style, with classic fillets of gold or silver over the front of the coifi‘ure ; in Catgan fashion, with shin- ing braids locped low on the neck; and in other styles, curled and caught with jewel- led pins as the back, or arranged in many varieties of the aesthetic-English order. The new summer dress fabrics have such an air of deliciousdaintiness, and are in such perfect accord with ribbons and laces, that each year they seem to offer new possibilities for artistic gowning. No garniture seems too fine for them, and the deft intermingling of colour they suggest are the delight of the mediate. The beautiful soft~tinted silks show most attractive designs, and figure conspicuously among the bewildering ex- hibit of new textiles. A pretty costume has directcire bodice and draperies of China silk, showing clusters of English hedge roses on a shimmering silvery ground of golden olive.

Not a thousand miles from Boston dwells a man who has recently wed a third spouse. It was the somewhat eccentric whim of the second wife to have a picture painted where- in she and the first wife Were represented as standing together with their arms entwined about each other’s waist. When the third wife came into power she was at first some. what puzzled to know what to do with this extraordinary production of combined affec~ tion and art. With genuine woman‘s wit, however, she hit upon the idea of having the piece worked over, and with what re. sult may be judged from a conversation in regard to the picture which took place be- tween the bride and one of her wedding callers. The visitor inquired if the picture represented relatives of the family. “ N c, not relatives,” the then wife replied. “ I believe the originals were distant connections of my husband, but the picture represents ‘ Faith and Resignation.
