He will plume h mself on this no longer. His pride got asore fall the other night, when his confidence led him into a fix calculated to throw the average young man into the depths of humiliation and despair. For a long time past the heart of Mr. Rogers has been as securely in Miss Mary's possession as if that young woman had had that useful organ locked up in a safe, of which she only knew the combination But Mr. Rogers is a very modest young man. Notunt.l the other night dared he avow his pas- sion. And the circumstances that fol- lowed nearly deprived him of his reason. It was on a Sunday even'ng, of course. The short October day had faded, though it was not quite dark, when Mr. Rogers l:fted the brass knocker on the door of Miss Mary's home. Her youthful brother opened it and ushered h m into the parior, with the suppressed and exasperating grin that young brothers are prone to indulge in under such circumstances. Presently another door opened, and Miss Mary, as Mr. Rogers supposed, walked in. To her remark that the room needed a light, Mr. Rogers interposed a decided nega- tive. Ie had come fully determined to ask the momentous question then and there, and he felt that the dimness of semi-twilight would lend him courage. The all-important question was put. The young lady hesitated, seemed con- fused, surprised, and finally faltered euta trembling yes. But the joy of poor Mr. Rogers was short. For the door opened again and in there walked, bearing a lamp, not Miss Martha or any other member of the family, but Miss Mary herself. That wicked younger brother had sent the wrong sister into the room. Mr. Sam Rogers had pro- posed to the wrong girl, and she had ac- cepted him. We draw the curtain over the scene that followed. The anguish of Mr. Rogers was far beyond the power of printto portray. The dilemma into which he had p'unged himself was too awful to be described. Let it stand as awarning to all American young men to beware of dimly-lighted parlors on Sunday evenings.—N. Y. Press. PRIMIINIVE HARVESTING. How Grain Was Gathered in Caltfornia Fifty Years Ago. Harvesting, with the rude implements, was a scene. Imagine three or four hundred wild Indians ina grain field armed, some with sickles, some with butcher knives, some with pieces of hoop iron, roughly fashioned into shapes like sickles, but many having only their hands with which to gather by small handfuls the dry and brittle grain; andas their hands would soon become sore they resorted to dry willow sticks, whch were split to afford a sharper edge with which to sever the the straw. But the wildest part was tho threshing. The harvest of weeks, sometimes of a month, was p led upin the straw in the form of a huge mound in the middle of a bigh, strong. round corral; then three or four hundred wild horses were turned in to thrash it, the Indians whooping tomake them run faster. Suddenly they would dash in before the band at full speed, when the motion became reversed with the effect of plowing up the trampled straw to the very bottom. In an hour the grain would be thoroughly threshed and the dry straw broken almost intochaff. In this mannerI have seen 2,000 bushels of wheat threshed in a single hour. Next came the winnowing, which would often take another month. It could only be done while the wini was blow- ing, by throwing high into the air shov- elfuls of grain, straw and chaff, the side, while the grain, comparatively clean, would descend and form a heap by itself. In this manner all the grain in California was cleaned. At that day no such thing-as a fanning mill had ever been brought to this coast — Century. A RUSSIAN RESTAURANT.

When the eruption takes place in Juiy or August it is usually attended by a d sturbance of the health. But itis a mistake to attribute all a chiid’s ailments at the time to cutting teeth; it might have cold or bad food might have upset the stomach. Cutting teeth alone. is nota cause of disease, and it is ba@ policy to let a child go, attr buting its illness to this one cause The temporary teeth do not last !ong, but should be cared for carefully from the time they appear. The child's mouth should be carefully washed, and as soon as he is old enough to care for bis teeth he should be taught to clean them himself with a soft brush and some simple dent free, and they should be examined regularly by adentist. A great deal of m schief is done by permitting them to be re moved too soon, or to remain in too long. It causes deform ty in the per- manent teeth, which come in behind or in front of the arch of the jaw if they are crowded out of place by the tempo- rary teeth. In the permanent teeth two sources of disease are tartar and decay. Tartar is a substance waich collects around the tooth near the gums, which then become sensitive and spongy. In aggravated cases it causes ulceration at the root, which necessitates the removal of the tooth. Tartar can be remedied by keeping the mouth scrupulously cleam Decay is caused by part cles of food lodging between the teeth, or in the pits and fissures of the molars This decays, forming an ac d which destroys the enamel, and betare are developed, which eat deeper and deeper into the cavity. In cases of this sort filling was prescr bed. Dead teeth cause disease of the bone and affect distant organs like the eye and ear. Constant care, constant cleansing and occasional visits to the dentist are the best remedies for all tooth troubles, the best means of improving teeth that are imperfect and keeping them in good condition where nature has been gen- erous in supplying those that may be accepted as models—Chicago Inter Ocean. BEES HOLD A TRAIN. The Insects Put the Crew to Rout and Take Posseasion. A swarm of bees created a block ina curious manner on the Perkiomen rail- road the other day. A freight train running between Perkiomen Junction and Allentown. Pa.. stopped to take water at Palm Staton. twenty miles north. A swarm of bees from a neigh- Boring farm house had taken refuge in some woods near by, and wben the train stopped at the station they came buzz- ing out and al ghted with one accord | on the tender behind the engine. ‘The engineer and his ass‘stant in the engine and the brakeman standing around the train, were agtonished at e visitation and promptly sought ty in the waiting room of the sta- ltion. ‘The fireman. William Heist, was on the engine cab at the time busily shifting coal from one side of the ten- der to the other, and in an instant a hundred bees set upon him. Half mad with pain bh mped off the tender and rolled wildly in the grass at the road- sde. The schedule time for starting the train came and went, but the crew saw no way in which to start. They held a consultation over the prob’em, and finally a bright idea struck the en- gineer. Putt ng it :nto execution, he crept softly and unconcernedly up to the tender, after the manner of an ex- perienced bee-keeper, and secured pos- session of the adjustable bose with which engineers are accustomed to clean up theircah He got the drop on the bees, and turned on them a steady stream of.cold water. The effect was magical The entre swarm took to the r wings and described a straight line—a bee line—toward the woods The train then resumed its journey, fif- teen minutes behind t me.

While some of the men engage in tilling their gardens others are out fishing. A great many edible fish are caught there, and the people find it very easy to live in comfort without a large amount of labor. They say that they have not the slightest desire to return to larger communities They do not encourage immigration, because they think they and their children will need all of the 3,220 acres of the island. Sometimes a salor from a passing ship spends a little while in the com- munity, and has been known to carry away one of the daughters as his wife, but most of the people are born, live and die there.

HOW TO VISIT. r Which a Visit Will é . te Welcome. To be valuable, a visit must be at the right time and in the right place; when it fuifills these conditions nothing can get eis A, the (Conditions visited and the visitor. In the first place, it should be proposed and accepted on principles of purest friendsh.p. No sham motive, such as kinship, a sense of obligation or prospective social ad- vantage will serve a3 a genuine founda- tion for an enjoyable visit. An invita- tion should be given only because the giver longs for the society of her friend, and if the friend can not accept in the same spirit, she had far better reply with some polite “I pray thee, excuse me.” Another very important requisite of a successful visit is that it be} not too long. When a guest re- mains several months, her situation is anomalous in every respect. She ceases to be the honored stranger, and she can not be “one of the family.” A good motto “A short visit and a merry one.” It is satisfactory at the beginning of a visit to have its extent definitely understood. When the invi- tation is sent it is very easy to say: “It will give me great pleasure to entertain you for a week;" or, if the time is not stated in the invitation. the acceptance can state that the prospective visitor can be spared from her home duties for | eight or ten days. This matter being mutually understood, the one who en- tertains can consider the visit as a whole, and plan to get in it the great- est good for the greatest number.— Farm and Fires:de. { A Novel Screen.

At tmes a bump is unavoidable, but un- asharp, jagged point or edge cuts the birch she usually sustains no seri- ous injury. The respons bility of the management rests upon the man in the stern, though the bowman may render assistance w.th his paddle. One danger, though it is rather an unlikely accident, is the c ce of the setting pole catching between two stones or in a cleft in a ledge, nst a rock and being wrenched from a canoe- man's hands’ In that case, unless he is quick to seize hs_ paddle, the stern will swing around broadside to the current and a capsze is then unavoidable. This accident did happen once to me, but not being in a bad p ace a few vigorous strokes of the paddle brought the little craft to a place of safety and the pole was recovered. There is danger too of the pole slipping off a smooth rock and causing the canoe- man to lose his equilibrium. It may be said that the act of shooting rapids is never unattended by some de- gree of danger, but when one finds bim- self in the m dst of foaming, tossing water, beneath which he gets on all sides glimpses of submerged rocks and ledges, between which and his own prec- ious body there is on y the frail shell of a birch, itis most exciting and ex- hilarating. The light canoe tosses like a cork, and receives slap after slap from the waves which wash its sides and dash their spray in the faces of the voyagers, but with a skilful man in the stern one is ever ready to repeat the adventure. It is true, however, that running rap- ids is not as many a romancer and art st has written or pictured it; the experi- ence as it is often depicted by both pen and pencil would never be undertaken by the most expert of canoemen, unless with suicidal intent.—Forest and Stream. ORIGIN OF THE CIGAR. How It Was First Introduced Into Civitiza- tion and How It Is Used In Various Countries. The first cigars made by the Spaniards were of tobacco loosely rolled and held together by the silken lining of corn sbucks and always with a straw run- ning through the center, to be with- drawn before smoking, so as to secure a good draught. These were first in- troduced into Engiand in 1787 by the son of a Spanish grandee visiting Lon- don, and from there spread through all Europe. This is the history of the birth of the cigar into civilization, but we must look considerable further back to find the first records, and then can find no origin, but only data of its being in existence. The cigar of the native Bornean, living in the Indian archipelago, is a biack ro!l three inches long, tapering to either end, the outer leaf covered with a network of gray veins like a cobweb. These might be aptly called ‘dude killers." They were smoked by the old Dyaks, and the smoke inhaled to intox cation, while at the weddings the bride and groom held cigars in the:r bands and after their heads were knocked together three times, each When the Patagonian smokes to real- ly enjoy himself he g ves a smoking party. All assemble in a hut, seating themselves,in a circle, with a bowl of water in the center. A cigar is lighted and passed around, each one drawing into his lyngs as much smoke as possi- ble and retaining it as long as he can, lying flaton his face, with his curious cloak thrown over his head. As each expels the smoke he groans and grunts, until a perfect babel reigns. Then a fresh cigar is lit and as it passes around quiet comes again. After the third cigar each smoker sits quietly for a few minutes, takes a drink at the bowl and to form the basis of this custom. —Prov- | —General Fremont real zed $1,237,500 from tte saleof the famous Mariposa grant. Simon Stevens, the lawyer who managed the business for him, says: “When I tooc the money to General Fremont, know ng that he was unfor- unate in caring for his possessions, I begged him to let me put $600,000 of it | into a trust fund for him, or otherwise turbed for a long period of years.
