"Raining again!" said Clifton Du­ rande. "Well, I might have expected it, this shiny, showery weather." The woods were all misty with the tender, budding green of the spring foliage. Under foot crept the pink, perfumed stars of the trailing arbutus, while in sheltered nooks, where the moss-enameled bowlders kept off the , keen west wind, and the sunshine poured its balmy gold, the violets were covering the dead leaves with their dainty carpet of blue embroidery. Down in the ravine a miniature water­ fall kept up its musical plaint, and a brown trout stream wound and twisted am.°?g roots of the trees, so ex­ quisitely transparent that one could see the very stones and pebbles at the bot­ tom. It was a picturesque little glen enough, and Durande was considerably annoyed at having to fold up his port­ folio before he had completed his sketch. "I suppose it is a good mile and a half to the village inn," said he to him­ self. "I wonder if there is a farm­ house near at hand where I can find a sort of temporary shelter." Even as he stood, hesitating and watching the brilliant fall of the spark- ling drops against the background of the purple-black clouds, the bowery screen of branches was parted and a .light figure came down the path--a golden-haired, deep-eyed girl, of 18, -with a brown calico *drt-ss, tinv linen frills at neck and wrist, and carrying in her hand a gypsy bonnet, half filled with wild flowers. She paused and looked gravely at him. He lifted his hat with native courtesy. "It if? raining," she said gravely. "You will get wet." "Unfortunately, yes," he responded. "Perhaps you can tell me of some place near by in which I can take shelter?" "There is Farmer Dakin's barn," said the woodland apparition, but it is on the other side of the river, and the roof leaks like an old sieve. And there our house just over the edge of t] hill; I think you had better go to our house." "If you will kindly admit me th<re, said Mr. Durande. "I am "Oh, I know who you are," said tfie girl, with a little deprecatory motion of her hand, "and I'm very sorry for you, indeed; and please," with a lovely flut­ tering color coming and going in her cheeks, "I should like to Be your friend, if you will allow me?" "With the greatest pleasure in the world," said Mr. Durande, waxing more and more bewildered. "Then come this way," said the nymph, floating gracefully on before, the purple-black clouds forming a back­ ground for her exquisite face and figure, and the trees weaving an archway. Clifton Durande was no contemptible pedestrian, but he soon found that he was compelled to use every effort to keep up with the girl. "Give me the country!" said he to himself, as he hurried on. "If this isn't real, genuine hospitality, I don't know what is." v Across a patch of woodland, through a pasture field, where young lambs were frisking, an$ mild-eyed cows lift­ ed their heads to watch them, they passed, and up a box-edged garden path, where golden jonquils and creamy clusters of narcissus grew in fragrant luxuriance. "I do not know whom I am to thrtnk for all this kindness," said Durande. "I am Mattie Willett," said the girl with unconscious digniti'. "Are you tired ? Please take this cushioned chair --it is easier than the other." Clifton Durande looked around in a fore, but they tell me he is quite harm­ less ; and when I saw him standing there in the rain, making no effort to go one way or the other, I felt sorry for him and brought him here." "What! Carlin's idiot!'" shouted Char­ ley, in evident consternation. "Yes, Carlin's idiot, if you will call jhim so--which is verv rude and un­ christian of you," retorted Mattie. "But ,^the trouble is /TiT>w to get rid of liim... They say he-rtever will go away unless you put/him out by main force." Charley, the innocent wretch, in­ dulged lin a low and prolonged chuckle. u "Now you have .done it!" said he. '"We'll wait a little until the deluge holds up, and I'll see how I can get you out of your dilemma." But Mr. Clifton Durande waited for no such denouement. He, the pink of Fifth avenue fashion, the mold of N^W York formt to be taken deliberately and in cold blood for Carlin's idiot! It was too much ^tr any man's philosophy:; wd, catching^up ins skeleton portfolio and flat, he rushed'out into the rain. "Perhaps I needed the lesson," he said, to himself; "but it was rather a sharp'one. Carlin's idiot, indeed !" He got home to Castleton Hall, where he was the guest of Mr. Alberique Cas­ tle, just as a superb rainbow was arch­ ing the dripping wood, and the sun broke in a great blaze of glory from the west. It had been a long, rainy walk ; and as he had walked lie had* thought of only twp things--Cariiu's idiot, and Mattie W illett's fair, serious face. "How she pitied me!" lie said to him- / "There was a serene, gracious conrf>assion in every word she spoke, ev ery glance she.bestowed upon me. I might have known it was nojt^intended for my own personality--clumsy, con­ ceited blockhead that I was!" "Lillian," he said to Miss Castle that evening, "have you invited Miss Willett to your party next week ?" "Mattie Willett?" said Lillian, knit­ ting together her pretty brows. "Oh yes. She's old Farmer Willett's daught­ er. She sings exquisitely, and accom­ panies herself with taste, on the guitar. She i-s it very sweet, cultivated girl. But whrit do you know about her, Clif­ ton ?" "Oh," said our hero, evasively, "I have chanced to hear of her in my peregrinations. And who is- this Charley?" ' , r "He is her brother," said Lillian Castle. And then Mr. Durande felt better. But it was not without a certain ma­ licious satisfaction that Clifton bowed low to Mattie Willett (looking prettier than ever in white muslin and pale blue ribbons) the night of the party at Castle­ ton Hall, when Lillian introduced them. She looked at him with solemn sur­ prise, evidently regognizing him, in spite of his diamond shirt studs, laven­ der necktie and elegant evening suit. "You see," said he, with & smile, "that I am not Carlin's idiot, after all. But I have to thank your gracious and gentle hospitality, all the same." am sorry I made such an awkward istake," said Mattie, coloring a little. But I am not," said Mr. Durande, it showed me the spontaneous cHar- ityllnd kindness of your nature." And before the evening was over they were the l>est of friends. Mr. Clifton Durande's picture of "An April Shower Over Glittei1 Falls" was hung on the 'Sight line" in the next Spring's exhibition at the Academy of Design, and Mattie Willett took an in­ nocent piide in its beauty, as she stood in the crowd,' leaning upon the arm of the young artist himself. "And to think that I, a simple little country girl, should be engaged to sin;h a great artist!" she murmured so low that the words could reach his ears alone. "An nrtJst," he responded, "but per­ haps not so famous a 'one, after ah. I shall not forget, Mattie darling, the blow to my self-complacency it was when I discovered that you had mistak­ en me, the budding genius, the con­ scious New Yorker, for--Carlin's idiot !M "Please--please do try and forget that!" said Mattie. "I wouldn't for all the worl l!" a hair/ skull.^, u can* Ancient Bucks and Dandies. "I went the other night." savs a fair correspondent of the London Evening Post for 17:5S, "with an aunt of mine, a well-bred woman of the last age, though a little formal. When -we sat down in the front boxes we found onrr- selves surrounded by the strangest fel­ lows I ever saw in my life; some of them had those loose kind of great­ coats on, which I haxejiourrl called rap- rascals. with gold laced hats slouched sort of pleasant bewilderment. Flowers I in humble imitation of stage-coach- were blossoming in the windows--pink primroses, sweet-scented geraniums and velvet-petaled monthly roses; engrav­ ings, framed in pine cones and rustic work, hung on the walls; a blue-rib­ boned guitar lay on the chintz-covered lounge beside a work basket full of sweet feminine belongings. "Am I in the enchanted land?" he asked himself. "Is this a modern Uto­ pia, an Arcadia of the nineteenth cent­ ury, where wood nymphs take pitv un- on belated travelers, ffnd all the world is hospitality? Ho^ fortunate it is that I came down to Glitter falls to sketch instead of going to Harden mountain! She is as beautiful as a dream, and how stately and gracious her manner is! She says she knows who I am." And Mr. Durande, albeit not a con­ ceited personage, began to comprehend what real fame meant. He looked at pretty Mattie Willett as she came into the room with a bowl of milk and some slices of home made bread. •" "You are an artist?" said he. "No," said she. "At least you admire fine pictures?" with a glance at the walls. "Yes." "Do you draw or sketch?" he asked. "Oh, no." "Why don't she talk?" he thought/ aI will make her talk." At. that moment, however, a sudden thunderbolt seemed to cleave the air with its force. Miss Willett passed leisurely into the other room. "Charley!" she cried out, joyfully, as if welcoming some one who had just en­ tered from another rodn^ "I am so glad you are here at last. Are you Wfet ?" "Who's Charley, confound him?" thought the artist^ "and why does she welcome him in that enthusiastic way ?" "Wet? I?" echoed a deep, cheery voice. "No danger of that in the world, little Mat! But who have jougot in the sitting-room ?" • • "Jealous, eh?" thought Clifton, with a grim smile. "I am glad of it!" "Hush!" Mattie responded, lowering her voice. "Don't speak so loud. It's that poor fellow from Carlin's--the weak-minded young man, you know, iwhom his friends have boarded there. I never have happened to see him be- men; others as being grooms had dirty boots and spurs, with black caps on, and long whips in their hands; a third sort wore scanty . frocks, little shabby hats put on one side, and clubs in their hands. My aunt whispered me she never saw such a set of slovenly, un­ mannerly, footmen sent to keep places in her life; when, to her great surprise, she saw these fast fellows^ at the end of the act, pay the box-kreepes for their places!" Then comes the dandy of George III.'s time--a creature like- the chameleon in his changes. A newspa­ per of 1770 gives the following descrip­ tion of a fop of that period: "A few days ago a macaroni made his appear­ ance in the Assembly rooms at White­ haven dressed in a mixed-silk coat, pink satin waistcoat and breeches cov­ ered with an elegant silver net., white silk stockings with pink clocks, pink satin shoes and large pearl buckles, a mushroom-colored stock covered with fine point lace, hair dressed remarkably high and stuck full of pearl pins."-- Belgravia. 1 Salt Mine Two Thousand Years 0h'« A mine has been found in the moun­ tain near Salzburg, Austria, which gives indications of having been occupied and abandoned at least two thousand vearS1 ago. It contains a large and confused mass of timbers, which were used for support, and £ number of miners's implements. The timbers were notched and sharpened, but were subject to an inundation, and left in confused heaps. The implements were mainly wooden shovels, ax-handles, etc. Among the relics, also, was a basket made of untanned rawhide, a piece of cloth woven of coarse wool, the fiber 61' which is very even, and still in good preservation, and a torch bourjd to­ gether with flax fibre. The probabili­ ties are that the ancient salt-miners were overtaken bv the flooding of the mine, as mummified bodies have been discovered, also. The find seems to have belonged to the pre-Roman times, as the ax-handles were evidently used for bronze axes, specimens of which have been found upon the surface of the mountain. The relics are of a high order, the basket being superior even to some that ifrere used in the early histor­ ic times. Hats Off. Dio Lewis accounts for the baldness of men in a simple way--their habit of keeping the • head constantly covered. He says you never see a man lose a hair below w hers the hat toushes his It will take ofi as clean as yo shave it down to exactly that line, but never a hair below, if he has 'be«n bald fifty years. The common black stiff hat, vious as sheetiron, retains the and perspiration. Tha little hair glands, which bear the same relation to the oair that the seed does to the plant above giound. become weak from the moisture and heat, and finally become too weak to sustain the hair." It falls out and baldness exists. A man with a S°2d *iea<* needs very little protection where the hair grows. "And yet" lie says, "we men wear immensely thick fur caps, and what amounts to sheetiron hats, and do not dare step out in a chilly atmosphere e moment lest we take cold. It is a silly, weak, and really a serious error. The Crea-" tor knew what lie was about when he covered a man's head with hair. It has a ve y important function in pro­ tecting the brain. It will never occur in any man who wears such a hat as I do--a common white/si[k hat with 500 -holes 111 the top, so that ?liere will be more holes than hat. This costs, nothing; the hatter will do it when you purchase your hat. If the nap be combed back the wrong way--and after the holes are made it may be combed the right way--no one will' ob­ serve the peculiarity. The hat will wear puite as long---the hatter says considerably longer--because it is dry instead ofemoist; in brief, there is not a smgleyobjeetion to it, while it will certainly prevent baldness, keep the top of the head cool, and prevent much headache." Its Star Still Ascending. \ In a recent call upon Mr. W. H. McAllis­ ter. 2(M» Front street, Reneral agent for the sale of the Star Chewing Tobacco, he thus spoke to one of our reporters: "I was tor­ tured with pain from acute rheumatism, and cared not whether I lived or died. I tried St. Jacobs Oil--just two applications of which entirely cured me."--San Francisco, Cal., Call. ^ WHEAT was deposited by A with B, at A's risk; B operated a mill, to which was attached an elevator, and the grain was putv into bins therein, in w hich there was other grain, and the miller used the grain in the elevator with his own. B. by the agreement, was to re­ turn wheat of a like quality and kind on demand, or pay its value. The mil­ ler failed, and A su«d in replevin to re­ cover his wheat, Ledyard ys. Hibbard, and recovered. The defendant ap­ pealed, and the Supreme Court of ^Michigan, in June, aftirmed the judg­ ment. Judge Cooley. in the opinion, said: "It was Jagreod on both sides that the 'owner 7 mentioned in the re­ ceipt must be ^understood to be the de­ positor--the .plaintiff. As by the re­ ceipt the grain w&,s declared to tie at his risk for the time being, it must have continual to be at his risk until some <»aet was afterwards done by one party or the other to convert what at first was manifesfly a bailment into a sale. The plaintiff could not be creditor for the purchase price so long as he remained owner, and the receiptors Could not be debtors for the purchase price so long as the risks of accidental destruction remained upon the depositor. The de­ positor eouid convert the bailment into a sale by notifying the receiptors of his election to receive the price fixed ac­ cording to the terms of the contract; and the receiptors, it is churned, could convert it into a sale by consuming the wheat in the regular course of their business, as the parties must have un derstood it was likely they would do.

When one reflects how much of a man's success in life depends upon his name--how ridiculous lie may be made by being called Peter Potter or Love- land Snooks - it is really sad that par­ ents pay so little attention to the effect of, their choice upon the future of their children. They will register tlfeir first­ born as Muggins Macplierson, if they happen to have a rich uncle who boasts Muggins as his surname; they will spoil a pretty patronymic by christen­ ing tlieir child Jeremiah Seymour or Aminabab Clifford; they will even turn him out anonymously upon the world with such an apology for a cognomen as Joliu Smith or William Jones, Pat­ rick O'Brian, or Angus Cameron. And yet a little fancy or a little care might make an endless difference to his future life. I have known a man whose whole career was embittered and darkened by the culpable cruelty of his parents in christening him Barnabas. He was naturally known as Barabbas from his school days onward and only the force of great innate integrity can possibly have saved him from finally turning out a robber and a cut-throat.
