Richard Watson Qilder. "Tell me again, daddy, the Btary of the little girl who lost her way In the -wheat, and slept out of doors all night without her niudder." The speaker was a little girl herself, swinging a much soiled and begrimed sunbonnet by one string, while the oth er hand grasped the fingers of a tall, (ungainly man walking by her side. Tf -And the little girl," continued the man obediently, "walked round and round the wheat field but could not find her way out, for all the wheat was taller than she, and however much she stood on tip toe, she couldn't see over. And by and by, (she lay down to rest where a harvest mouse had built Its nest. She was tired and hungry, and oh, so lonely. But the winds blew through the grain, bumming a lullahy, and tho little girl grew sleepier and sleepier." "And sleepier," added the child. "Three times. Tell It right, daddy." "And so when the reapers came In the mornfng," continued the man, "and the dreaded knives crept nearer and pearer to the little girl, every thing Eed to save her. The bunnies ntbblod r toes, the little harvest mouse pulled r hair, and the little birds flew on top of one of the flowers and sang and ang and sang." I "A. i,i then." said Blrdle-girl with much excitement "Let me finish It, daddy. The man who drove the reaper got down from his seat to find the bird's pest, and found tbe little baby girl fast s asleep, aud carrted her to her niudder V-a-yln'," said the child suddenly, look Vlng up In her father's face.

I "Poor David," the neighbors said. rrhat wtll he do bow?" t He had always been "poor David" to 'ithem. for he was uullke most men, practical, wide awake for their own In terests, and business like. Instead he was a dreamer, unused to the world's iways; a man awkward with clumsy rnanners, but with a poet's heart, ttu Jder, gentle and time. Ills face was (saved from positive plainness by a pair of wonderful eyes, large, dark and (dreamy. i David seemed to be born under an iunlucky star, for uothing prospered In his hands.

Dartd had no faith In him, and op posed the rapidly growing friendship. How It came about, one cannot tell, but John persuaded Hiels? to go to the city with him and be married, assuring her that after their marriage, her father should have a home with them, rhelie loved her father and John so much, that she felt she was doing the best for all parties. If anything was wanted to break David's heart It was this. From the day he learned the news, he never mentioned Phetoe'a name. Let ter after letter came telling of her hap piness; of the home they had made far away and begging him to share It, but David never knew. He burnt the let ters unopened lest the news they con tained should bring him shame a well as sorrow. When the spring came around the old farm was let. for the first time In the memory of living maa, and David Chadwlck went hla way, no one knew where. When Phebe, with her young husband, did return for the forgiveness they eould not get by letter be was gone. It was one of the hottest days of the year. The only' cool place to be found was la the large cathedral, and many people wandered In, both to pray and to look at the wonderful altar and pic tures. David Chadwlck was one of them, for here It was he had hidden himself as sexton when the crash came and be bad left the old home. David loved to listen to the voices of the boy choristers, and the deep toned notes of the organ. The dim lights and shadows, drifting to and fro on the old I AM GOING TO FIND Hlif SOMETIME." carvings, reminded him of the cloud shadows In the wheat fields at home. And so he was ever In the church, dust ing, cleaning aud musing; ever treated kindly by the church people and author ities. "No, no, Mary, I don't want to sit down and say my prayers. I want fc go about and see everything." David woke up from a day dream to find a curly haired boy of 5, strag gling on the seat behind him, as be vainly tried to free himself from the nurse who held him down. "Let him stay with me," said David kindly. '"I'll take care of him. Come my lad, and I will show you the organ and the pictures," and the child went with him, while the nurse settled com fortably down to her prayers. "My name Is Benule, and my grand father as a Bishop," said the little fel low by way of an Introduction. "Aud I got another grandfadder way off lu the country, and I am going to find him some time. He Is losted," he said con fidentially, looking up in David's face. David took the child up the altar stejw, and showed him where the little boys sang each Sunday In their cas socks and surplices. Bennle's dl.sai polntmeut was grent whey told that hu was hardly old enough to slug. "But I'll soon be growed," he added with a sigh and an afterthought. Then David showed him the picture of the Infant Jesus on His Mother's knee, and Benule remarked as he look ed at It,, "lie nln't got no fadder like me, maybe, bu his' uuuliler loves him." Then Duvld knew tho child had lost his father, and he said "niudder" Just as lllnlle-girl had done years ago, when they had walked In the cornfield to gether, lie could almost fancy It was Birdle-glrl that was clasping bis hand now, so real did the long forgotten In cident return, unUl the sound of .Mary's voh-e brought him buck from the laud of dreams. t "Nw, Master Bcnnle, we must go at once. Mamma will want you. Say good-bye to the kind gentleman aud come along." ' "Good-bye, Mr. Story Man ; If I come , again to-morrow, will you show me more things?' David promised, and the next day, and for a number of days the proceed ings were related, for It gave Mary a chance to chut with her many friends whom she met at church. It was a great day at the cathedral. Continuation service was to be held and iiiii EAST UIVKU. deflection at the center would be only three Inches. It Is estimated that tho biidge cm n be built In two aud oue-half years. With the completion of the structure New York will for the first time find Itself In possession of an all rail route between New England and the South and West. Through, trains from Boston may then run to New York, Philadelphia, Washington, Now Orleans, Chicago or any other Southern or Western city without leaving the rails. many Bishops of renown were to spenk. David was very busy until late, Then ho thought he would go Into the body of the great church, ami listen him self to the wonderful singing aud beau tiful services. He was looking around for n seat, when Bennle's voice whispered out from one of the iews: "Mr. Story Man, here's lots of room with us. Do come," and, taking Da vid's wrinkled hand In his, he drew him In the pew which was occupied by a lady and the child. After Bennle had pointed out to Da vid one of the Bishops as his "grand fadder," he stuck his little hand In that of his new found friend and settled down quietly to listen to the singing. It was a long service, and David and Bennle wearied long before It was over, but they sat It out bravely, hand In hand, while Bennle's mother, her thick veil lowered, watched them long and earnestly. , When the great cathedral doors were opened, and the vast congregation dis persed she led the way to a quiet part of the church, followed by Bennle and David. Then she turned and faced them, raising the heavy crepe folds of the veil from her faca "Father, don't you know me?" was all she said. ' The few remaining people saw a strange sight, for after gazing lu her face Intently for a few momeuts the old man fell on her shoulder weeping convulsively. The old homestead Is once again Da vid's and he wanders about the fields telling wonder stories as of old, but they are told to a little boy now. Many Improvements have taken place In the house and farm at the sugges tion of Bennle's mother. The old mnu Is deeply Interested In them nl!, for he wints Bennle to be a farmer, as his great great grandfather was before him, only ho adds, "I hope he'll make a better farmer than I did." And Bennle is oh, so happy, for he has "found his udder grandfadder lu the country." Waverley Magazine. LANGUAGE THAT DISAPPOINTED. All That a Strong Man Said Under Great Provocation. "I don't like to hear a niau swear as n general thing," snld the girl of some experience, to a Providence Journal writer, "but there are times when it soeins Justifiable, and then I like to know that a man can relieve his feel ings. The other day I had what was a real disappointment, though it's drendful to admit It. "I was walking op Westminster street with a man you know, and his hat blew off, fell under the wheels of a trolley aud was absolutely ruined a new hat, too! What do you think that big, strong man snld? He picked up the remains, looked at them for a time as if he were struggling with some strong emotion aud then observ ed mildly, 'Dear me V " "So you wanted to hear him swear?" Inquired the man to whom she poured out her tale. "Well, I thought he would use at least one big D," replied the girl. "My dear girl," said her companion, "that man you were with is probably the most profane man In Providence, and on wliat you might call ordinary occasions he can swear for half an hour without repeotlng himself. There are, however, times when "words Is In adequate,' atid he doubtless recalled that all the cuss words he knew wero too feeble for the occasion. I assure you there was more heartfelt bitter ness in that mild expression than In ull the oaths he knew." "Perhaps," said the girl, "but It really seemed so pitiful that I wunted to say things for hiiu." Tb Old Stagecoach. Those who are accustomed to look bui k with longing eyes to tho "good old days" will find It interesting to learn that In the middle of the eight eenth century the common .carrier 'be tween Selkirk and IMIuburgli, a dis tance of .thirty-eight miles, required two days to make the Journey. In 1778 it took a day and n half for a stagecoach to go from Edinburgh to (Slusgow, only forty-four miles away. About the same time ' the swlftc: stages seldom covered the road be tween F.dinburgh and London, aiO miles, In less than two weeks, an aver age speed of about twenty-two miles a day.

' ..AMERICAN QUEEN OF BEAUTY. Olrs. John Jaceb AM or, tbe Most Admired Woman In I.onitiw. i An American woman, Mia John Ja cob Astor, Is the beauty of the Iiutloa season, writes a correqondcnt. Wher ever she Is s-en this regal woman causes a sensation. Crowds follow her about a room. Her la-lght, her snowy hair over such a fresh young face, her amazing gowns aud historic Jewels have dazzled Inuloii. Twice lately I jhave seen her In a "creation" which for orlgln'illty and beauty I never have seen surpassed. On the first occasion she wore a costume of silvery cak .which fitted her figure close, sjlvlnj the Idea of some woiidrous mermaid from the deep. The top of the Ixxlice was filled in with filmy lace, u;jjesllv of foam, and at her throat was the Em press Eugenie's famous ixmlutit of bluxlng iliamond.s. On tho other occasion she was ntttr ed In some black, cloudy fabric, which seemed to swntlie her figure, revealing not a single jewel. Above this, thrown Into strong relief by the contrast, rose her flover-IIUe face, with Its crown of white hair tl rented In big curls. In MBS. JOHN JACOII ABTOB. which gown she looked the more strik ing It would be hard to say. A man who was present the other night at an embassy party remarked: "Shu" meaning Mrs. Astor "makes every other woman appear Insignificant and commonplace.' Many women are blenching their hair to resemble hers, and others, who do not core to go to this length, are wearing white wigs. Mrs. Astor has been here frequently, but she never he fore has made quite such a sensttlon. She looks utterly unconscious of the admiration she arouses or Is It utter ly Indifferent? Nor somehow does she convey the Impression of being xnrtlc ularly happy. Her thoughts often seem far away from the gayety lu which she is the bright particular star. Occasionally there flits over her face, like a ' cloud, a careworn expression that makes her appeisr, for the few moments that It lasts, years older. I have seen her stand lu the center of a crowd apparently not hearing a word that was being said by those arouud her. But all this only add to the in terest she arouses. It suggests a hid den sorrow, a burled romance, and things of that sort that inquisitive folk like to specula to about. A COINCIDENCE. Peculiar Combination of Hvtntt Re lated by Andrew I.unir. As to "the long arm of coincidence," It may he as long as Is necessary. Noth ing is imiiossible to coincidence. An in stance of my own experience, said An drew Lang, convinces me of this fact I had beeu reading a foolish book, "Out of the Hurly Burly," and some of the rhymes ran lu my head. They began: Bury Bartholomew out la 'the woods In a beautiful hole in the ground. In the afternoon I drove with a par ty of friends, and we took the refresh ment of tea nt a house where there were several other guests, all unknown to me even by name. As two of theso lived at a pluoe on our homeward routa they accompanied us tn our vehicle. "As we passed a wood on a hillside one of these anonymous strangers sold to me, "This Is the burial place of the Murrays of Olendhubreae." I absently and au tomatic fay replied : Bury Bartholomew out In the woods . In a beautiful bole In the ground. A kind of chill blight settled on the party, though one of them tactfully asked me what poet I was quoting. When we had set down our two -strtangers at their own home I was ask ed whether I knew the naaie of tho gen tleman on whom I had expended my poetical quotation? Of course I did not know, and of course his surname was Bartholomew, while, as he seemed fo bad health, my citation had an nlr' of brutal appropriateness. "Thus docs fortune banter us," for Bartholomew Is a most unusual name In Stt1nnd. Supvratltloa. A well known New Yorker, while dining at, his club onti evening, observed that his order of oysters on the shell was not complete, there being only eleven bivalves Instead of the dozen lb 'was his custom to order.' Ou reflecting1 tliat his waiter, an Irishman, was a newcomer, he decided to let the matter pass, but when on the next evening the same thing occurred he became a tritle Impatient. "See here," exclaimed be to the wait er, "what do you mean by bringing me eleven oysters when I order twelve? This Is the second time that this thing has happened." , "Sure, sir," quletry responded the Celt, "I didn't think you w.mld want to risk being thirteen at table, sir." Where tbe Incitement Waa.

To quote one passage: "Milk, as is leaves the cow's udder, con tains bacteria. If tho cow Is dirty or there Is loose hay around, dust from the cow's body and the hay settles In the milk piffl, and this dust Is swarming with bacteria. As soon as they reach the warm milk they commence to multiply, and lu a few hour thp may have Increased until there are millions. to the teaspoowful of milk. It Is thesd bacteria that causes milk to sour, but most of them are not only harmless but positively bene ficial. According to Professor Conn, half a tenspoonfHl of cream which was sour enough to he churned for butter making contained 1,!K)0.X)0.000 bacteria. If bacteria were as harmful as some Imagine, no one would be alive, for who has not drunk buttermilk or eaten cottage cheese made from sour milk which contains so many bacteria that few could gnisp tho numbers contained In a pint of It? The bacteria are plants belonglag to the same chins as yeast and mushrooms. No one Is afraid to use yeast in bread-niakliig, or to eat mwhrooms, so no one should be afraid to drink milk simply because It contains simi lar vegetable forms. Sometimes poisonous bacteria get into milk, but the cases of poisoning resulting are, com paratively sjteuklng, rare, and no one need give up drink ing milk on this account" North American Review. BUSINESS EDUCATION. iN no other field has education In tbe United States made such marked advance within the last few years as In the direction of commercial' knowledge and training. The last two decades were notable for progress la technical and mechanical education. They were tbe era of the chemist, the electrician and tha civil and mechanical engineer. Tbe era of the man of business has begun. Commercial schools and business colleges formerly con tented themselves with teaching arithmetic, bookkeeping, banking, typewriting, stenography and commercial law. They have been obliged greatly to broaden their scope. In The larger cities the free commercial high schools, the evening schools and the Young Men's Christian Associa tions, most of which maintain educational departments, find themselves compelled, la deference to popular de mand, to establish classes in advertising, salesmanship, real estate, lu vestments aud other subjects which reflect the prevalent Interest In business. Some of the colleges maintain postgraduate courses for the study of Interna tional trade In Its broadest aspects, as well as In detail. In business life Itself a change has been going ou not unlike that which has taken place In agriculture a move ment toward Intensive and systematic cultivation of spe cial fields. This has beeu fostered by,' and In turn has festered, the luvention of countless ingenious "systems" and appliances for filing correspondence, keeping accounts, Thctre are innumerable stories ,,'of Revolutionary days In Charleston, South Carolina. The old Indies used to tell with glee how, when the Brit ish were supposed to be out of the way, the young fellows would come home to dance with them. A messuge would go to tbe nearest cousins and friends, and a supier be rooked. It might bo only rice and bacon, but it was good to hungry men, declares Charleston's historian, Mrs. Ravenal. The dance and the feast would con tinue until the stars grew pule. Often these merrymakings were dis turbed by thi enemy; but there was always a negro or two on the watch, and the harsh note of the screech-owl or the cry of tho wblppoorwlll would give the alarm. Then "partings In hot baste," a rush for the horses, a sharp scuffle, a hot pursuit, and perhaps a prisoner taken. The. young men had odd adventures. One young fellow betrayed himself by his apietlte. He was pursued nnd had taken shelter at Mrs. Motto's place, on South Suntee. She rolled him up in a carjMjt, and pushing It against the wall, told him to keep quiet until tho enemy had gone nud she could re lease him. . Unluckily, he heard tlirough the ojtcn window his hostess giving directions to the cook about the chickens .which were to bo dreswd for the dragons' dinner. He could not bear to be left out, and thrust his head from the car lt chrysalis, and cried out, "Keep the giblets for me!" The soldiers heard, and he was at eace caught and carried off, to repent It leisure of bis Indlacretlon. How Cleoda and Foira Differ. Clouds are bodies of moisture evapo rated from the earth and again partial ly condensed In the upier regions of tbe air. Fogs differ from clouds only la one resect they come In contact with the surface of the earth while clouds ace elevated above our heads. When the surface of the earth is wanner than tho lower air the vapor of the earth, being condensed by the chill air, becomes mist or fog. But wheu the lower air Is warmer than the earth tho vapor rises through the air and becomes cloud. Fog and mist dif fer lu this resiMctthat mist Is a fine rain, while fo Is vapor not sufllclently condensed to iWlow of Its precipitation hi drops. Judtce and Doctor, Too.

THE NEGRITOS. Odd Blarrla Ceremony of Tbaaa Hurbaroua Little People. Belonging as they do to the lowest type of civilisation as yet discovered, the Negritos of Malaysia and their ways are well worth studying. Simple, primitive, barbarous little people, their customs are those of prehistoric man. They huve no fixed home or settle ments, but are wanderers over their mimntaluous Isluuds, sleeping under a banana leaf, living ou herbs aud ber ries and game. Their marriage ceremony Is a unique survival of early life. The suitor and u few companions dance about the shelter of the desired girl. There Is u curious resemblance betweey the dunces' of the prospective bridegroom ami those of many of the game birds of our woodland, finally the girl, ac companied by her mother, starts to ward the dwelling of the young men. They frequently stop, squatting In the trail while the uruent suitor and his companions continue their entreating and bewitching dances, winding round and round the girl. Presents are gen erally demanded and must be given before the reluctant brldu will pro ceed. Flually the women arrive near a steep bamboo platform.
