Major DeVaux stood on the steps outside his club in St. James street, drawn up as stiff as if on parade, un-' decided for the moment as to where he should go. when be perceived his brother-in-law, Sir John Persley, hur~ rying towards him, vexation and an- noyant-e so plainly to be seen in the expression of his face as to make the major inwardly exclaim: “By George!’ and call out at once: “Well! what’s amiss?” “Everything’s amiss,” replied Sir John. “Here’s a regular kettle of fish; Agatha insists upon marrying the groom.” “Whew!” whistled the major be. tween his teeth; “we must stop that.” “Stop it—yes. But how? The fool of a girl is in love with the scoundrel, and has told her mother, most decid_ edly, that she intends to marry hm. She is twenty- one, and her fortune is her ow.n And then the brute is such a handsome dog. It’s enough to drive one mad. It’s all my lady’s fault; she would have me engage the fellow be- cause he looked so smart on horse- back, and here’s the nice result of her folly.” The major knitted his brows and thought for a few moments. “Ah,” he at length said, exercise a little diplomacy.” “If you coerce her she’ll take the bit between her teeth and bolt proba- bly, and then where will you be?” “Saints in Heaven!” exclaimed Sir John testily, “would you have us give in to the girl and agree to the mar- riage?” “Not at all; at least, only appear to do so. Girls. like cats, must be stroked the right way, if you wish them not to use their claws. ' I’ll think the matter over, and call and see you and Maria this afternoon. When am I most'likely to find you in and Agatha out?” _ “Any time; we’ll stay in for you.” True to his promise, Major De Vaux presented himself in Clarges street that same afternoon when he found Sir John and Lady Persley impatient. ly awaiting him. “Well, have you thought of any; thing?” said his sister, jumping up to greet him. “We are in the greatest distress, and have decided to dismiss Jorkins with a month’s wages, and leave town at once with Agatha. I’m sure it will bring my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave, if this detestable marriage takes place.” The major smiled as he looked at Lady Persley’s orange-colored wig. “Pooh!” he said, “no need to die yet. I’ve thought of a plan. But, first of all, no dismissing of Jorkins just now. Say nothing whatever to him against his engagement and take him into the country with the horses, as a matter of course. I have not the pleasure of an intimate acquaintance with your groom, but I presume his manners are much like the manners of other ser- vants, and what I propose is, that as soon as you get to Persley Court, you ask hini to dinner.” “Ask the groom to dinner!” ex- claimed Lady Persley, in accents of horror. “Are you dreaming, W'ilfrid? I’m sure I’ll do no such thing.” “Yes, you will, if you are wise,” re- turned her, brother. “And what is more you will ask the county to meet him.” “Publish our disgrace in that man- “we must ner?—never!” said Lady Persley, with indignation. “My dear Maria, Jorkins is a re- markably good looking young fellow, and doubtless on horseback in the hunting field, where Agatha has chief- ly seen him, presents a gallant appear- ance. The girl’s head, like that of most girls, is stuffed full of nonsense. and Jorkins may have encouraged an idea that he is above his apparent -1 1- tunes, 01 it may be simply a case of calf love. “Any way, if Agatha without his surrounding halo of noble horsemanship, at table, not knowing even how to use a knife and fork properly, she will be disenchant eda disgusted with him, and break off with him herself. ' ' “So long as she only sees him in his proper position, as her attendant squire, he is quite handsome enough to take any silly woman's fancy cap- tive.” So it was decided to follow the ma- jor-’s advice. “And you will let me know the re- sult,” he said, as he took leave of his sister and Sir John, .and went back to his club. “I’m sure I don’t know what to say can see him ' to Agatha,” remarked Lady Maria, as soon as Major De Vaux had quitted the room, “for only last night I told her "she deserved a good whipping. and I’d like to give her one. \‘i’hat would you do?” “Well, women should know 110w to manage women. I should say a little kissing and crying over her would be the best plan.” Thus fortified, Lady Maria left the drawing-room, and went up-stairs and tapped gently at her daughter’s bed- room door; for it was locked. “W’ho’s there?” in rather a choked voice from Agatha inside. “It’s only I, dear. Let me come in. I have something to say to you.” I As the key turned the door stood open of itself, for as soon as Agatha had unlocked it she went and threw. herself face downwards on the bed. Lady Maria went up to it and took the sobbing girl in her arms. “My dear,” she said, “I cannot bear this estrangement any longer, it makes me miserable. Your father and I have been talking the matter over, and if you will only promise to do nothing rash or without our consent. we will try and see if things cannot be in any way arranged satislacio- rily.” .1 EA IOR’S SCHEME ‘ “Oh, mother,” cried Agatha, clinging to her, “how good you are. I am 1.115- hie. too; but I love him so.” *‘Yes dea-,r I understan. ” said Lady Mania with such a grimace that had her daughter seen it she would have peace. “If you only knew Cyril bette1—” began Agatha. ‘Cyril! who’s Cyril?” returned Lady Maria sharply. “Do you mean Jor- kins?—I thought his name was James.”‘ ' “So it is, dearest mother, James Cy- ril; but we prefer his second name, it is prettier—do you not think So?” Poor Lady Maria could scarcely suppress a groan, but anxious to‘ end the interview, all she said was,— “Now, look here, my dear child, too must wash your face and let Mlle. 'l‘oinette dress you in your prettiest 1nd come out for a drive. The fresh 1ir will do you good after all this agi- ‘ation. I think we have all 1131' =11ough of town this season. and we will go back to the Court 1:'~*-:-:' veek and resume our old, quiet. hutc- lr'um life.” ' Then Lady Maria kissed her ant vent down-stairs quite proud of hi: diplomacy. Agatha was very pale, and her face now disfigured by grief, looked decid- edly plain. At no time could she lay claim to any beauty beyond that of youth and a certain distinction. de- rived from her tail figure and her birth and breeding. After this explanation with her mother domestic affairs went on more comfortable, no special allusion was made to her engagement, and by hei parents’ silence on the subject, she naturally cencluded that they were no longer inimical to it. This opinion she communicated to Jorkins the first opportunity she had of speaking to him alone, when they had all gone down into the country. rpparently on good terms. Once settled at the Court. there was \Iajor de Vaux’s advice to be carried out, and here lay a difl‘iculty. “It is easy enough to make up a dinner-party,” said Lady Maria to her husband, “although most of our friends are still in town, but how am I to invite that wretch Jorkins? 1 cannot send my groom a written invi- tation, he would boast of it at the vil- lage ale house, and show it about armongst the other servants; anyhow every one of them must hear of his being asked to dinner. Oh, it is in- famous of‘Agatha to have placed us in such a false position.” “Let Agatha ask him herself, word of mouth.” “Well, that will be best, perhaps.” returned Lady Maria, “but it’s dread- ful altogether. Fancy having to sit at table with the man—and smelling of stables; too.” “We shall survive that, my dear. Anything is better than that Agatha should give him to us as a son-in-law. That would be a. disgrace nothing could wipe out.” Then Lady Maria called her daughter and told her to invite her lover. “Because, you see, my dear, if you are going to marry him, we ought to introduce him to our friends beforehand. He will so soon be one of us.” Agatha's message from her mother was such a surprise to Mr. Jorkins as to completely dumfound him, for, al- though he had persuaded the girl to marry him, he never for an instant supposed such a marriage could take place, unless he defied her parents and ran away with her. But modesty and a small opinion of himself not being his most remark- able qualities, he merely said,— “Oh. that’s the way the cat jumps is it? Well, I'm agreeable. I suppose I’ll ’ave to get evening toggery.” “Of course,” said Agatha, “and mind" you look very nice, so that I may feel proud of my choice,” and the :rirl’s plain face lighted up into a.‘.~ most beauty, from the love that shop: in it, as she lifted her eyes to him. In truth he was exceedingly good to look at, with a face that mighi have belonged to Antinous. and 1. small, delicately-formed figure that would have led one to suppose, what he had more than once hinted at to Agatha, that he was of noble blood 01. one side. “I mustn’t stay now,” said Agatha. ”I have to go out for a drive with mother, and have scarcely time to put my hat on,” for Jorkins would have detained her to ask"a little more about the invitation, the day fixed, and who he was likely to meet. “Blessed if I wouldn’t sooner feed in. the servants’ ’all,” he said, “but I suppose as Sir John and my lady re- quests the honor of my company, I must do the polite, too.” ‘ The excessive incongruity of the po- sition did not seem to strike Agatha or her iover. He was too conceited, and she too much in love with him. Jorkins having informed the tailor who made his liveries that he required 'such an outfit as a “regular swell” i would wear in the evening. appeared ' on the day of the dinner, faultlessii dressed, and looking so distingui she. as to induce Colonel Despard to as who he was. “Don’t know his face.

Why should he not enjoy himself, like any other man? Bother these swells! He was going to marry the heiress, and a fig for Sir John and mv Lady. . With such feelings combined with Dutch courage from the ”quantity of wine he had taken, Mr. Jorkins, just Before the ladies quitted the dining- room, threw himself back in his :hair, and thrusting his hands into the Dockets of his trousers, exclaimedin 1. loud voice.— “‘Well, my lidy, this ’as been a iownright, regular feed.

Lord Rosse, the builder of the fa- nous Rosse telescope, was not only a icientist but an expert mechanic, and was fond of watching and examining 111 kinds of machinery. One of his pe- :uliarities was an absence of neatness n his dress. He seldom looked to be what he was, and many amusing mis- 2akes arose from this habit. One day while visiting the engine room of a arge manufactory he suddenly became ntensely interested in something he iaw, and with an apprehensive man- 1er he pulled out his watch and looked rom it to the engine. The engineer, 1 burly fellow, unaware of the distin- guished visitor’s fame, came up and growled out: “Well, what’s up with you? What we 'you shaking your head for and ooking at your watch? See anything :0 bother you?” “Oh, no, nothing to bother me very nuch. I was just wondering how nany minutes would pass before that ooiler would explode.” “Boiler explode! Say, you’re crazy! You get out of here right away.~ Jome!” “Oh, let me stay; there's a good fel~ ow. It will take only a few minutes: more while that screw is loose there )efore she goes off.” % The engineer to humor his crazy man glanced at the screw and gave a yell.‘ With a jump he was at it, tightening t like a madman. When he had fin- shed, the perspiration stood out on his. now in beads. “Why didn’t you speak sooner?” he lemanded, after his fright was over. “You didn’t give me much chance,’ 'eplied Lord Rosse; “and, besides, I 1ever yet had an opportunity to see a. wiler explode.” ' PROPOSED COLONY OF WIDOWS.

Canadian and Italian asbestos will ‘ find a serious competitor in the blue asbestos recently discovered in the Cape Colony, since the South African product is less than half as heavy and furnishes fibres considerably finer and longer than any other. The South Af- rican fiber has been worked into webs, which are but little inferior to those made of vegetable fibre, and are abso~ lutely fireproof. Twine, cord and rope made of this blue asbestos will not only resist fire, but also most of the known chemicals, corrosive vapors and These quali- ties will open up a. new field for the employment of asbestos fabrics in chemical laboratories and for the caulking of chemical apparatus. In order to test the resistance of the new material, a blue asbestos rope of about three-fourths of an inch in diam- eter was weighted at one end with 220 pounds, and exposed to a constant flame from a large gas jet, so that the rope for a considerable length was sur-_ rounded by fire. The cord only broke after twenty-two" hours. Still it wasla trifle lighter than a rope of the same diameter made of Russian hemp. Com- pared wit-h a new hemp rope, the as- bestos rope has two-thirds of its strength, but as the ropes ge't older the proportion is altered in favor of ashes. tos ropes, since they sufier but very little from the influences of the atmos- phere. Another novel application of this ma- terial is the working of blue asbestos fibre into mattresses for hospitals. They are cooler in summer and warm- er in winter than those made either of animal hair or vegetable fibre, and no vermin can live in this mattress. Ex. perimcnts are now being made of working this fibre into cloth for fire- men‘s apparel. Of course, the long fibre of blue asbestos can also be em- ployed for all the uses to which white asbestos While a trifle more expensive, its su- perior qualities make it well worth the difference—Philadelphia Record. LASHED TEN TIMES AND I’ILLORIZED For the Great Crime of Stealing an Um- brella In Delaware. One hour in the pillory, ten lashes on his bare back at the whipping post and three months in the county jail. That was the severe penalty imposed upon James Harris in the Court of General Sessions of Newcastle County, Delaware, the other day at W’ilming- ton after he had entered a plea of “guilty” to 3. Charge of stealing an umbrella. ' Jennie Harris, his wife, who was his accomplice in the theft, also answered “guilty,” but her sentence was light. Women are exempt from punishment at the pillory and whipping post, but they are not exempt from imprison- .nent. Mrs. Harris’ part in the great crime brought a sentence of one day upon her. After she had served her :‘entence she went into the jail ya :d and looked at her husband as he stood in the pillory. A few hours later she saw the heavy cat-o-nine- tails fall with a “crack” ten times upon his bare shoulders and back. When the last lash had been plied she burst into tears. Then she went to him and Lissed him an affectionate farewell. The people of Delaware hold to the whipping post because they believe the 19m of it keeps many criminals out of the State.

San- born in the July Atlantic, are rapidly covering Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut with a network that is slole and surely redistributing the population; it seems almost inevitable that a great part of the present rural area of these three States will uitl- mately be included in the suburbs of their numerous and widely scattered industrial centres and of their dozen or more larger cities. When this con- dition arrives, if it does arrive, rural life will have become suburban, and farming, aside from market-gardening, will have practically disappeared. The bicycle and good roads are exerting a minor but considerable influence in the same- direction. Equally important is the fact that large areas in all sections of New England are in' process of transforma- tion from farms to sites of country- seats. Residents of the cities are ccm- ing more and more to make their real homes in the country. They are. building their country houses with more comfort and more solidly, and are living in them a much larger part of the year than formerly. The coun- try season extends already from the first of 1tiny to the first of November, and is still lengthening. Improved railway and steamboat transportation, the multiplication of large fortunes, greater leisure, above all a growing appreciation of the spots and resources of country life, have contributed to this result. It looks very much as if our urban society were attaching itself primarily to the land,——living on the land, and leaving it for the city’ only in the festive season. Whether this tendency will produce again a landed aristocracy instead of an aristocracy of other forms of wealth, who can say? One thing only is sure,—it would pro- duce thereby a new New England. THE COST OF REPETITION. His Little Game Didn’t Work with the Non-Sensitive Man. There is a public man in Washing- ton who affects deafness at timesand thereby saves himself annoyance from people who do not want to shout their private business into his ear while other persons are about. But the plan doesn' t always wo1k well. The public man saw an office- seeker approéckflfg and rightly suspected that he was to be bored with a tale of woe. He greeted the office-seeker kindly and then pretended to have diflculty in hearing him. The story of hard luck was told all the same. At the end of it came the stereotyped request: “Lend the $5, please ” “What do you say?” asked the pub ilc man in a tone which he thought might deter the would-be borrower, especially as others were standing near. ' “Lend me $10?” came in a tone which drew the attention of every- body within twenty feet. “Why, yes,” was the reply. The bill was produced and passed over. As the lender followed with his eyes the retreating borrower he said a. little bitterly: “I’d have saved $5 if I’d heard him the first time.”—St. Louis Globe- Democrat. ’ ’~ 1‘--'-‘=‘€'IT._.'l“_"‘.-.'.‘-" Victoria’s Sharp Grandson.
