Whether she spoke or remained silent, whether she walked or sat, ex­ pectation hnng breathless .upon her next word, her next pose. Her eyes, varying as seemed their hue, shone, none the less, with a candid ray that seemed the light of truth, and her fresh mouth, with its milky teeth showing be­ tween the not too smiling lips, irresist­ ibly suggested the sweetest uses to which lips can be put The heavily moving steamer had plowed through half the great Atlantic rollers, and the few passengers had all grown heartily tired of each other, when she suddenly appeared for the first time upon deck quite alone, yet calm and self-centered as the small birds that sometimes poised themselves upon spar or bulwark and gather breath for fresh flight. It was Julius Ililder who had first discovered her, leaning against the companionwav railing, with the air of having just come up or down, he could hardly determine which, looking ab­ sently at the tumbling waves. Julius and his friend, Austin Drake, were seceders from a gay party who had made the tour of Southern Europe together. It was Julius who had insti­ gated his companion to desert the oth­ ers and take the German steamer for New Orleans direct, which then touch­ ed at Havre, instead of crossing by a Cunarder; and it had all grown out of the obstinate determination on the part of his sister to attach her party to that of Mrs. Smollett. Mrs. Smollett was his choicest aver­ sion, a pretentious, intriguing woman, in whom the rua'ch-makiug instinct had been so developed by the effort to es­ tablish her own live daughters that, it conld not rest satisfied with the ac­ complishment of that gigantic task. She seemed to have an endless supply of nieces, adopted daughters, or pro­ teges of Borne, sort, whom she dangled ostentatiously before the eyes of eligi­ ble bachelors. Ste had improved a chance meeting with Julius to announce to him a new acquisition, a lovely young creature, whom she was taking home with her from a Swiss Pension. "Mr. Smollett's own niece, Mr. Hild­ er, and quite like my Fanny at her age. You remember Fanny ? She was your first love, I believe," she had said with her ogling dowager smile, and Julius -had felt himself seized at once with an insurmountable aversion to the fair young niece of Mr. Smollett. In the first heat of his indignation against his sister he had conceived this notable scheme of crossing by the Havre steamer, and though it had not in its development proved to be emi­ nently amusing, he had never omitted to congratulate himself and his com­ panion, night and morning, upon the good sense they had displayed in adopt ng it. "No chattering girls or designing dowagers," he would say, as he yawned over hn book or the dull game with which they strove to believe they were amusing themselves, "gives a man time to pull himself together and take ac­ count of stock, _ as it were." Still, when on one of those aimless pilgrim­ ages below which formed the only break in the monotony of this occupa­ tion, he had nearly run over this pretty youg creature leaning against the rail­ ings, a thrill of undeniable pleasure had coursed along his nerves and he had felt himself blushing with pleased surprise. Fortunately, the sea-tan had ren­ dered the blush indistinct, but over the light that shot into his gray eyes the sea-tan had no power, nor yet over the tongue that stammered as he tried to convey his apologies for nearly upset­ ting her, and his offers of service in conducting her to a seat. "Thank you," she had answered cool­ ly, "you did not startle me, as I saw you coming, and I am not sure that I want a seat." There was no more to be said, and her maid appearing at the moment with a bundle of parti-colored wraps, Julius could only lift his hat again and carry out his purpose of going below. As he had no reason for going except that lie was tired of staying on deck, and as the deck had now acquired a paramount attraction he was soon back again. In the, meantime the young lady had made up* her mind about the seat, and had found one for herself close against the ship's side, on the weather quar­ ter. It was not a pleasant location, but as she had chosen it, and had wrap­ ped a large shawl about her in an ex­ clusive sort of way, he saw no plausible ^jrourd for interfering. Nothing could have been more dis­ creet and retiring than Miss Elton's behavior, but the perseverance of a man who finds himself bored by too much of his own and his alter ego's so­ ciety, is an incalculable force against which no woman can successfully en­ trench herself, and so it was not long before Drake found himself eliminated, as a superfluous factor, from the sum of his friend's enjoyment, whenever Miss Eaton appeared above deck. His success, however, was more appar­ ent than real, for although he knew her name, and was allowed to carry her book and her shawl, and arrange , ia nnw f sitkw with reference to the wind or the sun, be had really made no great prog- in her confidence. Who she was or why she had chosen to make the voyage centric tery as it had been on that memorable first day. It was the close of the tenth day, dating from that of his discovery, A v fcX>OAUt» iltti iU IUU- TIAVV AWOLSIVTI blod OX WAQ ifiOitttlOu vf the sea. He had been reading to her, but the itory was finished, ana a silence had ensued, she appearing to be wrapped in thought and he watching her face with half-veiled glances. "Three more days and we shall be at home," she said, rousing herself. "You count the days," he said. "Are you eager to be there?" "No; neither eager nor reluctant. 1 The voyage has been pleasant, but it will be nice to be on shore again, too." "What, or rather who is going to tnake it nice? Anybody in particular?" . She put the question aside witli a lit­ tle wave of her hand. p "You are curious," she said, mischiev­ ously. Julius bit his lip. He was curious, ftnd this was not the first time she had foiled him. "You want much to know just who and what I am," she went on. "You have made a dozen attempts to find out Tell me why. What difference would it make to you? If I were to tell you that I am a niece of the Governor of Kentucky; mind, I don't say that I am," she cautioned, as Julius made a ges­ ture, of surprise. "I say if I were to tell you so, and add that I am mistress of an independent fortune, would that enhance my value in your eyes?" Julius drummed upon the arm of his chair, and looked at her in silence. "Suppose, on the contrary," she went on, impetuously, and with a certain warmth of tone that seemed to spring from injured pride, "I were to tell you that I am an orphan without fortune; that I had just money enough to array me through the conservatory at Paris, and that I am hoping and expecting to make my living by teaching muisc. would that lower me in your regard ?" Julius still remained silent, perhaps a little abashed by the results of his own temerity. "I see that I have embarrassed you," she said, laughing. "I shall not insist upon an answer. I leave you to adopt whichever hypothesis best suits you." She gathered up her shawl and book as she spoke, and made a motion to rise, but Julius laid a detaining hand upon her arm. "'No, no, you mustn't go yet," he ex­ claimed, and he fancied he perceived a dewiness in her oyes as she turned them toward him; which touched him inex­ pressibly. "I am embarrassed, not so much by your hypothesis as by some thing in myself. Since you leave me to choose between these hypothesis, I will take the latter. You are, then, an orphan without fortune, hoping and ex­ pecting to make your living by teach ing music. To prove to you how little £ deserve your implied reproach, I will confess what I should have concealed frem the Governor's niece. Miss Elton. I adore you! "Mr. Hilder!" she exclaimed, spring- to her feet, with flashing eyes. "Well," he said quietly, "you chal­ lenged me." "You are impertinent, sir," and she swept away with dignity. She remained^ closely shut in her own cabin during the remainder of the afternoon and until quite late the next morning, when Julius, who had main­ tained an anxious and impatient watch on deck, found her in the saloon sip­ ping a cup of tea and nibbling a piece of toast by way of breakfact "I hope you have forgiven me,* he said taking a seat beside her. "But I have not," she answered with decision. "Which have I offened--the Gover­ nor's niece or the orphan music teacher?" he asked with a saucy smile. "Both. It was a dar ng imperti­ nence to the one and a pijeoe of inso­ lence toward the other." "Well, I don't see what I'm to do about it It isn't the sort oi thing you can expect a man to take back." "No," she said, looking absently into her cup, then suddenly realizing that this was not what she should have said she hurried to add, amid a confusion of blushes: "That is. of course, you must take it back; at least yon mustn't say anvthing more about it" "Never?" "Never." ... "But that's impossible." "Mr. Hilder." "Miss Elton." "I think we've had enough of this. It was my fault, I am willing to admit that. It "was wretched taste on my part, and I've suffered all sorts of things in consequence." She waved her hand toward her cabin as, she spoke, indicating that it was thus her hours of retirement were spent "Let me go back to the first question," she continued. "You asked me whether there was anybody to make it pleasant for me on shore. There was no reason but my own perversity why I should not have answered at once. No, no­ body that I am at all sure will care to make it pleasant lor me. I have a dear o!d uncle who has always been very good to me; but when he hears how naughty I have been I don't know what he will say to me," and she puckered up her white forehead into an expres­ sion of compunctious perplexity. "Well," he said, after waiting some time for her to resume, "is that all?" "That answers my question, does it not?" "My question as originally put--yes, I believe it does; but it has been so amplified that you can hardly expect me to be satisfied with that meager an­ swer." "Amplified! I don't understand." "Those two ingenious hypotheses, for instance--were they both pure fiction, or which was the true statement?" "Both pure inventions," she returned, laughing and blushing again. "I am not that brilliant creature, a Governor's niece, nor yet that more useful and re­ spectable one, a teacher of music. Tbe Governor's niece was just a bit of satire. I traveled a few week once in company with such a person, and the constant iteration with which she dwelt upon her title and the amount of respect it seemed to inspire in the minds of those who heard it, gave me the impression that it was the highest rank an unmar­ ried woman could attain in America. I think the impression must be well founded, too, as 1 noticed that it pro­ duced quite an effect upon you." "Not the effect you imagine. I was startled for a moment, I confess, but simply because of a slight coincidence." "A coincidence! Do you know her ?" and a hot blush and a look of conster­ nation sat together upon the fresh, young face of Miss Elton. "Never saw her; but there was a plot to make me cross the oedpr wife s person and a lot of other women, which I defeated by running away." "Oh! you ran away?" she breathed the words out in a startled, half-whis­ per. "Yes, they went in a Cunaider, and my friend Drake and I slipped off and took the steamer at Havre." She looked at him with widely i * . - _ . ..4. AU4 to UUiiug t-- w USVIA UC UQVAUVU VMV UftVtVVM v.fcMw that the eyes were brown and not deep gray, as he had decided the other fifty times. "Why did you run away?" she asked after a moment's amused consideration. "Well, you see, I was with my sister and two or three others; just a nice lit­ tle parly, all the ladies married; so a fellow didn't have to be always on pa­ rade. We had a jolly, comfortable time until we got to Paris on our way home, and there sister took it into her head to join a woman who had been roaming about the continent with a lot of girls on an extensive husband hunt one of those women who never look at a single man without picturing him to herself walking up the aisle with a white tie, with half a dozen grooms­ men at his back, and who has always just the girl on hand who will walk up the other aisle in white satin and meet him dem urelv at the altar. I had no fancy for being cooped on a steamer with such an experienced old angler." "And the Governor's niece was one of the girls ? ' Some Governor's niece, so I heard. Now, what is the naughty thing you've been dojpg? Come, confidence for confidence." For sole answer, however, Miss Eaton leaned back in he chair and began to laugh immoderately. Julius looked at her for some moments, then catching the infection began to laugh, too, much to the edification of the waiters, who were beginning their preparations for dinner. I have no doubt it's awful funny," he added, as she wiped the tears from her cheeks, "but I could enjoy it more if I knew just the point of view from which you see it" "Perhaps you could," she replied de­ murely, checking an impulse.- to laugh again. "We seem to be in the way; suppose we move." "Come on deck," he exclaimed, rising with alacrity and offering his arm. "Thank you, no. I don't feel quite equal to the deck this morning." She made him a ceremonious obei­ sance, and her cabin door had closed behind her before he had fully realized her purpose. She did not reappear during the day. It was their last day at sea, and Julius was in despair. The jetties'light was in sight when he retired, and when he awoke in the morning the smooth glid­ ing motion of the ship announced that they were in the river. He was in no haste to see the low t>-lores of the Mis­ sissippi, in fact he felt at the moment that he hated them; yat he sprang up, dressed with dispatch and mounted to the deck. Everybody was there but the one he sought. He stood near the companion way, watching furtively and starting at every step. She did not some, neither was she at the breakfast table. The hours glided by, the city rose in- t,) view, passengers came on deck with satchels and umbrellas, prepared for going ashore, but (-till that particu­ lar cabin door remained closed. They were at the wharf, the staging was run out, and a dozen or more citi zens rushed across with that strange eagerness so inevplicable to the voy­ ager, whose eagerness impels him in the opposite direction. Julius still maintained his watch at the companion way, felt himself gently put aside by a tall, gray-haired gentleman, in a brown coat, who went with careful haste down the brass steps. He heard a little cry and peering through a skylight he .saw Miss Elton in the arms of the grav- haired gentleman, her head pressed against liis brown coat', and her eyes upturned to meet his spectacled gaze. "Her uncle!" he mutter peevishly; "who the devil is he anyhow?" He moved discontented to the side and looked at the people hurrying ashore. "Hello, Julius! Going to spend the night aboard?" cried Drake, coming up with a duly chalked valise in each hand. "Oh, Mr. Hilder," exclaimed another and mo*e musical voice. "Wait, uncle, I must introduce you; Mr. Hilder has been very kind to me," "What, Julius! Why, my dear boy, how d'ye? My wife wrote me you were coming over with her." His hand was grasped with a hearty pressure, and he found himself gazing into the spectacled eyes of Mr. Smollett. "Oh, stupidest of stupids!" he ex­ claimed as he thrust slippers and brushes into his valise in the privacy of his cabin. Bagged by the Smollett ogress after all, by Jupiter!" he addec^ as lie gave a last twist to his fair mus­ tache before the misty mirror.--New Orleans Timex-Democrat. The Box Tree in Persia. The box is a shrubby, evergreen tree, which affords the valuable wood used by engravers, mathematical instrument makers, and turners. In favorable lo­ calities it attains the height of fifteen or twenty feet, but in rocky regions does not rise above three or four feet The wood is very heavy, hard, and dur- «K1A O » ---- -- -- f--W4V V* M polish. Large quantities of this valu­ able wood are produced in Persia. Dur­ ing the year 1876, 2,170 tons of box­ wood were cut down in the province«of Ghilan, numbering in all 60,000 pieces. When it is considered that scarcely more than one piece can be got out of one tree, and upward of 200,000 trees were hewn down last year alone in Ghilan and Mazenderam, it will be seen that such cuttings must make quite a clearing in the forests. From the district of Tenekabam 5,800 tons of boxweod were exported during last year, one firm of propri­ etors having cut 'down nearly 170,000 trees to effect this object. Every piece of boxwood worth exporting must be at least nine inches in diameter, and be­ tween four and five feet in length; it must be straight, and free from cracks, the average weight of each piece being seventy pounds; 1,000 pieces ft such wood being worth, on the coast, from $600 to $800. Tenekabam boxwood is superior to that of Ghilan. It is pre­ pared fer industrial UFes<Vby steeping large blocks in water during twenty- four hours, after which it is boiled in water during a certain length of time, and then allowed to dry slowly, im­ mersed in sand or ashes to exclude the air, and thus prevent too rapid drying. Bottled Tea. To bottle tea and set it aside for use as a cold beverage is one way, and per­ haps the best, to use and enjoy this wholesome stimulant It adds a "mel­ lowness" to the fragrant infusion that smacks of old wine. Or is it the de­ lusion of the "bottle" that suggests the insidnous thought ? If you have never tried bottled tea do so on the next pic­ nic that* you undertake, and follow these directions: Make the tea in the usual way, and after it has drawn suffi­ ciently-- say twenty minutes -- strain the liquor from the leaves and pour in­ to a clean bottle. It is best to have the bottle as waim as the tea, so as to avoid the possibility of cracking the bottle with the hot tea; sweeten to taste, bear­ ing in mind that if you make it quite sweet when it is warm it will not appear so when it becomes cold. You will find Appolinaris or champagne bot­ tles the best and cheapest to use. Cork it tightly and set aside in the refrigera­ tor to cool. Then, when you are on your picnic, all you have to do is to fill a tumbler with cracked ice and pour in the tea. and you will realize for the first time what a fine thing this bottled tea is. Do not think that because the tea is in a bottle tightly corked it will keep a long time. After it is once sweetened it should be used within at least twenty-four hours. If you are a workingman's wife, and your husband comes home after work tired, just have a bottle of cold tea ready for him. He may get to like it so well that he will prefer it to the glabs of beer he some­ times takes on the wav home. Too Much Might. "I don't take much stock in the wid­ ow's mite," mused an old bachelor. "Why not ?" asked an acquaintance. "Because the only woman I ever ask­ ed to marry me said that she might if I were only good looking and had money. She afterwards married another fellow, whom she pounded to death; and I imagine he found her might altogether toe pigMfcy." All for fiO Cents. Mr. E. C. Walker, Editor "Track and Boad," Tke Spirit of the Times, New York, after an exhaustive interview with all lead­ ing horsemen, stablemen, sportsmen, driv­ ers, and breeders of horses of the country, states that St. Jacobs Oil, the great pain cure, will do all that is claimed for it in the cure of aches, pains, and suffering in man and beast. The British Hotel. The ensuing autumn will probably be the finest season ever known for the proprietors of British hotels. Let us hope that the landlords will do some­ thing to deserve this extraordinary bit of good fortune, and abolish some of their customary extortionate charges. The fine of sixpence for every one who has an ordinary "tub" in his bed-room is a disgraceful imposition, and ought to be at once discontinued. Since Albert Smith wrote, many years ago, his "English Hotel Nuisance," attend­ ance has been charged in the bill. This means that you have to pay double for attendance which should cost nothing. The old system, after all, was the best. You tipped the servants for services rendered, and they were content Now, yon tip the landlord and the servants; neither is satisfied, and yon seldom get proper attention. In addition to this, the commissariat of most hotels throughout Great Britain wants im­ proving, and their tariff is in need of revision.--London World. DR. NACHTIGAL has described some curious trees of the region about Lake Chad in Africa. The butter tree bears a peculiar nut whose oil is much used as a substitute for butter; a leguminous tree--Parkia biglobosa--produces seeds from which a mea- is made which is an excellent food; while the wood-tree has a fruit which bursts like the pods of cotton and reveals a soft and lustrous mass of fibers, which may be used for a variety of purposes, such as stuffing cushions and mattresses. » A TOUCHPfg IHCIPEKT. A. Tong Girl's l>etnezitia--How Ik Was Occasioned--Some New ud Start­ ling Truths. The St. Louis express, on the New York Central Boad, was crowded one evening re­ cently, when at one of the way stations, an elderly gentleman, accompanied by a young lady, entered the cars and finally secured a seat. As the conductor approached the pair, the young lady arose, and in a pleading voice said: <1 "Please, sir, don't let him carry me to the asylum. I am not crazy; I am a little tired, but not mad. Oil! no, indeed. Won't you please have papa take me back home)" '1 be conductor, accustomed though he was to all phases of humanity, looked with as­ tonishment at the pair, as did the other pas- augers in their vicinity. A tew words from the iather, however, sufficed, and the con­ ductor passed on while the young lady turned her face to the window. The writer chanced to be seated just behind the old gentleman, and could not forego the desire to speak to hiin. With a sad face and a trembling voice the father said: "My daughter has been attending the sem­ inary in a distant town and was succeeding remarkably. Her natural qualities, together with a great ambition, placed her in the front ranks of the school, but she studied too close­ ly, was not careful of her health, and her poor brain has been turned. I am taking her to a private asylum where we hope she will soon tie better." At the next station the old man and his daughter left the cars, but the incident, so suggestive of Shakspeare's Ophelia.awakened strange thoughts in the mind of the writer. It is an absolute fact that while the popula­ tion of America increased 30 per cent, dup­ ing the decade between 1870 and 1BC0 the In­ sanity increase was over one hundred ami thir­ ty-flit per cent, for the same period. Travel­ ers by rail, by boat, or in carriages in any part of the land see large and elaborate buildings, and Inquire what they are. Insane asylums! Who builds them? Each 8tate; every county; hundreds of private individuals, and in all oases their ca­ pacity is taxed to the utmost. Why? Because men, in business and the profes­ sions, women, at home or in society, and chil­ dren fit school overtax their mental and nerv­ ous forces by work, worry and tare. This brings about nervous disorders, indigestion and eventnally mania. It is not always trouble with the head that causes insanity. It tar oftener arises from evils in other parts of the body. The nerv­ ous system determines the status of the brain. Any one who has periodic headaches; Occasional dizziness; a dimness of vision; a ringing in the ears; a fevcriBhhcad: frequent fiuusea or a sinking at the pit of the stom­ ach, should take warning at once. The stom­ ach and bead are in direct sympathy, and it one be impaired tho other can never be in order. Acute dyspepsia causes more insane suicides than any other known agency, and the man. woman or child whose stomach Is deranged is not and cannot be safe from the coining on at any moment of mania in some one of its many terrible forms. The value of moderation and the imper ative necessity of care in keeping the stom­ ach right must therefore be clear to all. The lenst appearance of indigestion or mal as simiUtiou of food should be watehed as care- tullyasthe first approach of an invading army. Many means have been advocated for meeting such attacks, but all have here­ tofore been more or less defective. There can be little doubt, however, that for the purpose of regulating the stomach, toning it up to proper action, keeping its nerves in a normal condition, and purifying the blood, Warner's Tippecanoe The Best, excels all an eient or recent discoveries. It is absolutely pure and vegetable; it is certain to add vigor to adults, while it cannot by any possibility injure even a child. The fact that it was used in the days of the famous Harrison family is proof positive of its merit, as it has so thoroughly withstood the test of time. As a tonic and revivifler it is simply wonderful. It has relieved the agony of the stomach in thousands of cases; soothed the tired nerves; produced peaceful sleep, and averted the coming on of a mania more to be dreaded than death itself.

Prof. Ritcliel, of Bridgeport, Conn., believes that he has, through some novel experiments with the common household moth, discovered the method employed by the ancients to produce their indelible and brilliant colors. Prof. Ritcliel claims that the worm which hatches from the egg of the miller produces an excrement the ex­ act color and shade of the material it lias eaten, lied flannel given to some worms on trial produced a shiny sab- stance of the exact hue of the flannel; gray hair eaten by the worms produced a gray color, etc. A very small quan­ tity of this excrement colored a large quantity of white lead with which it was mixed. A test for the indelibility of the coloring matter was made by ex­ posing a plate of it to the rain and weather for two months. According to Prof. Uitchel's report, this exposure did not fade or change the colon; Another Life Saved. About two years ago, a prominent citizen of Chicago was told by his physicians that he must die. They said his system was so de­ bilitated that there was nothing left to build ou.
