hastily, and as 1 met the (faze of Ida ten
der, eym pathetic cyeu I grew hot and
tluhhed in confusion.
A bhort tiiiie after this I M-riously of
fended my aunt and t-ho treated me to a
long and severe lecture upon what the
called my flirtation with her friend. She
said I had been a disappointment to her
from tbo I'rst; she had no idea I was bo
olihtiii.tto and willful As for Worcester
he eared nothing about me and was only
amusing I . i 1 .- Ii
"Vou love Worcester. Stella!" she ex
claimed suddenly, closely watching to teo
the effect of her worths.
"What d'es it matter?" I curtly an
swered. "Don't equivocate tell tho truth!" she
said, looking at me with anjrry eyes.
'Thai's my affair," I jerked out in a
napner decidedly emphatic.
"Well, you had better not grow senti
mental over Cyril, because ho ia not a
marrying man, ami if he were ho would
choose a woman of ihe world for his wife.
So you must tint snub m Baron, who is fco
kindly disposed toward you that he is
ready to ta!:o you at any "time. Don't bo
a fool and throw away a certainty for an
uncertainty.''
Then she left me alone to think of her
words.
After this I was hhy of Mr. Worcester,
who was much in my aunt's company. It
is true she sought him and that I kept
out of his way. and ho could not bo rudo
to a lady in ln-r own house. But I never
thought of the whys and wherefores of
the ease, and liceamo profoundly miser
able. One evening svn after the entire party
had gone oil to some place of amusement.
To evade a' Baron I remained at home. I
was pas: ing along tho hall, miserably
v.oiidi-ring if Mr. Worcester was my aunt's
escort, v hen. just as I passed the parlor
door, who sl.oi.id emerge but C ril him
self. "Why, Stelhi, you here? In disgrace, 1
s'.:'ws-'.'" l.e laughed
Oli. no! I did n:? care to go with the
other.." I explained.
"Ah another cf my Stella's devices to
avoid a c rtain obnoxious suitor. I
thought as l.r.ieh. And you are well?"
"Quite," I said, smiling. "But how is
it that you are here?"
"Well, vou tee. I never meant to go
with the i-arty, there fore 1 stayed away
until after their departure. I have been
meandering r round tho houso wondering
if you had" gone," he said, smiling down
at me.
I did not answer. It was all so unex
pected, so very uico and pleasant to be
with him, with no danger of intrusion for
some hours, that I forgot ho was reported
to be my aunt's lover, and in all prob
ability would be her husband.
"We are going to make ttio most of our
time together." bo remarked, "row that
tLo:e tiresome people are gone and es
pecially this Le Baron. Why don't your
aant marry the fellow herself? Sue
Bef:EW to think him a perfect paragon."
I was silent. What did he mean by
such erratic talk? Then ho went on to
as-1: why 1 hsd avoided him of late, and 1
told tho truth.
"Does Mrs. Boo really torment you
thu.?V" he asked in surprise.
"Yes; she is determined that I shall be
TJrs. Lo Buron."
"Stella," he said with a sc.dden energy,
"let mo stand between this fellow aud
you. I will promise to keep him at bay
for life. Can IV Will yti bo my little
wife, dear?"
Your wife. Mr. Yv'orcester? Are you
not going to marry my aunt, then?"
Ivt if ! have n chance of becoming
her oplc-w," he !y replied. "You
Li'.::d li'tlle mouse!' Could not you see
that 1 was court::.:? the aunt for tho
niece's take the little niece with whose
picture I fell in love before 1 sawtheorig
inalV Why, dear, that is what brought
me here in the first place!"
Well, 1 do not know how it all came
about, but I let him kiss me, and ho said
I was his darling Stella now and always.
The next ujv wo went oa a river excur
sion. When all were ready for tho start
Le Baron came toward me, but one look
brought Mr. Worcester to my side, and he
appropriated me just as coolly as his hated
rival had once done, and said with a smile;
'Stella has promised to let me take care
of her today and always, Mr. Lo Baron,
and you will have to look elsewhere for a
companion and for a wife."
I can't describe the sensation caused by
these words. Lo Baron turned scarlet, and
Aunt Evelyn, standing near, looked for a
moment as if she would faint, but she
joined the others in congratulations, and
never by word or sign admitted that
through my engagement with Cyril
Worcester the dearest plans of her life
were overthrown. And this is tho end of
my Iovebtory. Waverley Magazine.
Irottction Against Irairl Firea.
Every prairie town where the people
are not actuated, as they frequently are,
by a sj.iritof criminal carelessness, is sur
rounded bv a tro break. This is usually
made by plowing a few furrows just out
ii.ie and entirely around the town.
Further out. say 1-0 yards, another cir
cle of furrows is made, and then the grass
is burned bet ween. This effectually pro
vents any hostile tire from taking tho
city. It "very frequently happens that
this f:re bicak is constructed after tho tire
which it is intended to guard against has
r.p;cared. On such occasions, whilo 0110
arty goes out with brtnms. shovels, old
grain sacks and other weapons to stay the
progress of tho lire as much as possible,
another attaches teams to all the plows
that can be found and begins to make tho
need.-d farrov.-s. The attacking party is
usually headed by tho mayor, while the
justice of the peace, or the leading law
yer, is apt to lead the plow brigade. As
soon as the furrows are turned tho "back
fro" between is started, and usually the
town is saved. Perhaps the people get a
great deal more enjoyment out of it than

WHAT SHOULD BE DONE DURING

Parent unci Teacher Mtit KxerrUa an

ple of fSooil Rule.
Many persons vearly mae the very sad
mistake of neiffectiiig tht-ir eyes until
they leglii to see the mist before them,
until the object they are (coking at must
bo brought very close to the eye to bedis
rented, or until the print in the book they
are reading becomes all blurred, anil then,
when in many cast's it is too hxto to re
pair tho injury that has been caused, they j
begin to seek advice. r.very year there
are hundreds of cases that come under
tho oculists' care that could have been
cured if a few rudimentary principles had
been known to or observed by tho patient
These things everybody should know,
but, perhaps, of a'i persons whose es
pecial duty it is to know them, tho nio'dier
has the greatest need of it She, at least
f all persons, should know that tho
mniiin eye of the child whose infancy and
he tirst few years of its tender childhood
are especially ent rusted to her f are, for
very often it is in infancy, when the child
is yet but a few months old. uml has not
left the nurse's lap. that its link" eyes
are injured for life.
It is natural that, when wo have ar
rived at middle age and begin descending
the hill of life, our sight should com
menco to fail, but how are we to preserve
it as long as it is possible? First, by hav
ing our competent mothers and nurses
take care of them for us while we aro yet
infants. In a day or two after birth it
will perhaps be noticed that the lids are
swollen, and perhaps that some irruptivu
disease has Ret in. In such a case the
mother or nurso will tin well not to try to
be doctor as well as occupying the trying
position of either mother or uurso. A
skillful practitioner should at once be
called in to sco tho child, that Is. if the
symptoms become at all serious, because
ii is at this very time that tho siyht of
the child maybe seriously affected and
perhaps permanently impaired. Abovo
all things don't in such cases try moth
t-r's milk; neither be overanxious that
tho child may bo hungry, and therely
overfeed it. Bemember, tirst of all, that
a low diet must be given in such cases;
this is imperative. The child should at
once be taken from a place where there is
a strong light and kept in a room where
the sun or artificial light has been sub
dued. A conscientious physician will in
most cases bo able to effect a rapid cure
and save the child from untold agony,
which it might have to endure when it
grew older if neglected now.
CAKELESSXESS OF NURSES.
Nurses frequently allow tho child to lie
in their (tho nurses') laps, aud in such a
position that in order to gaze about it, tho
infant must roll its eyes until sometimes
it is staring at objects over its forehead
t.r with its head tipped back it is looking
ut objects upside down Tho careful
nurse and tho thoughtful mother will
never allow the child to recline in this
position, or if they do, will place it so
that there will bo no incentive for It to
look over its head. Fight is impaired in
many children in this way.
When tho child is teething is a critical
time for its eyes, and later, when it is be
ginning to learn to read, bo careful then
that it does not acquire habits which,
when it matures, cannot be easily eradi
cated. Observe how it holds its book;
don't let it held it up to its face and
squint at it. Be careful also that it usee
both eyes at tho same time, because many
children acquire tho habit of using one
eye and leaving the other unused, cans
ing it in time to grow exceedingly
weak. Primers and Crst readers should
invariably be in large type. and
the child should be made to sit up
straight. Constantly leaning over a desk
or a piano has a laid effect upon the eyea
of children, which is fullv equaled by a
misfortune which befalls tittle girls, aud
that is their tresses falling down over
their faces. It is supposed that squinting
is caused in the brain, but it is well known
that children inherit it. Many of these
surrounding influences are indirectly the
cause of squinting, aud they should be
most zealously guarded against. Always
see to it that children have fdenty of
fresh air in the school room, and do not
excite the child's imitative faculties.
Many a child has been a squinter for life,
made so by imitating a nurse or a com
panion who squinted for fun. This is a
most pernicious practice, and one that is
oftentimes indulged in by those who have
tho care of children because tho child is
eo smart it mimics so well.
AXOTUKK CKITICAI. PEKIOD.
Tho next very critical period is when
the child has grown into a youth or
maiden. Their constant study, or the too
close application to an exacting occupa
tion, will work incalculable iujury. The
young man or woman who is fortunate
enough to discover this in time has reason
to bo thankful, for the skillful oculist
may, if he has the patient in season, be
able to do him some temporary good; but,
alas! for those who aro not aware of their
true couditiou until they aro frightened
some day by the specter of luminous
objects and black specks floating before
them. They see undulating lights and
objects that appear to be composed of a
misty substance. When this state of
things arrives tho wise youth or maiden
will at onco show himself to a physician
and get medical advice. If tho defect to
the eye is in its first stages the doctor
will not be in any hurry to have you wear
glasses. This "is not so desirable, as
many snppose. Glasses are annoy
ing to those who aro forced to
wear them, and if there is any way
to avoid it, no one should be in an
hurry to put them on. In the first place,
a person who notices himself afflicted with
these symptoms will seek rest. If he is a
student, let him temporarily give up the
companionship of his books and seek Mie
companionship of nature.
Always it will be found that good sight
Is dependent to a great extent upon good
health, and one should never, under any
circumstances, neglect his general condi
tion, no matter bow trifling the circum
stance or symptoms may appear to e.
A good rule to remember in carirg for
the sight is: Never read in bee; and
another very good rule to observe (it u?
disregarded by almost everybody) is uevei
to read on the cars. Boston Globe.

Thi blood red stone has a peculiar elg
niScance, aud is an object of veneration
to the Indian. Since taught by "Mani
tou" (tho Great Spirit) warlike t lilies have
gathered hero in peace, to worship, dig
the stone und smoke the calumet Belies
of camps may bo traced in great numbers,
by tho stones placed in circles, now uearly
buried from sight, except when prairie
fires sweep over them. legends say that
a remnant of red men were driven from a
delugo to the top of this rocky crest,
where an eag'.o had built her nest, and
that the rising waters swallowed all but
one maiden, who clung to tho eagle for
safety. When tho waita receded, tho
Great Spirit found achff of rocky warriors
turned into shining jasper! In solemn
wnlh ho vowed that henceforth the tribes
should meet here only in peace, that no
wa.- whoop should bo heard, no bow and
arrow ortinnahawk should lie seen at this
rendezvous, but hereafter the tribes
should assemble hero each year to wa-ii
o'f their war paint in t ho hike, bury the
hatchet and smoke the peace pipe, iu

should sacrilico a milk whifj bison a rare

Tho eagle abo joined in t he compact by
leaving five eggs, which turned into huge
bowlders of stone, watched over by two

sleep aud watch the sacred quarry. Then
Manitou broke open the quarry for his
children, and taught them how to enrvo

Dora More Injury Than Renefit.
Wo are partly bamboozled by tradition.
From our youth up we are deafened on all
hides by advice to "read and improve our
minds." The inference is that the mind
is improved by reading. But that infer
ence is open to the most serious question.
For my part, I should bo willing to hazard
tho statement that twico as many minds
have been injured than have been bene
fited by it, and not a small proportion of
tho former have been made entirely
worthless by the practice. It is just like
dram drinking it is intellectual dram
drinking, and "intellectual" is scarcely
the word to uso iu that connection.
One reason is, no doubt, that the drams
iu question are, for the most part, of very
inferior stuff. But even if it were of the
best stuff imaginable, the detrimental ef
fect would remain. The finest Madeira,
if swallowed in sufficiently copious doses,
will produce delirium tremens; and the
most unexceptional books, if they ere
also too numerous, will bring en mental
dyspepsia. The mind becomes a mere

Julian Hawthorne in America.
T!ie Clews of I-ommn.
A peculiar fcaturo of London, to h? jia
with, are the so called mew j. Tho n-me-mews
originally applied to tho royal
stables, though whether on recount of
tho characteristic melody of the cats that
congregate around such establishment?,
or for some more classical cr.ui e. has never
been explained. It gradually came to be
adoptcd for the alleys in the rear of fash
ionablo mansions on which the stable-
open. and. in fact, for i:ay street cf
stables. Tho mews cf London aro streets
sui generis They tut in half the blocks
on which swell residences make a pompous
frontage, and their aspect is as much more
picturesque and homelike, as it is les-s im
posing than that of tho grimly grand
palaces of which they aro adjuncts.
In tho quarters "of London in which
aristocracy stiil lingers, tho mews still
preserve much of their eld character, and
tre the abiding places cf stable helpers and
genteel poverty. In the deteriorated parts
of the town they aro squalid and reeking
nests of misery and want, where human
beings harbor like l'ats and probably of ten
do not see tho light cf day for years. I
can imagine nothing more horrible under
th-3 sun than the Whitechapel mews, un
less it be the di-eadful inner courts and
n thoroughfares which still further com
plicate the ramifications of these mazes of
misft rtuno anil vice. Alfred Trumble in
Prttsbur-T Bulletin.
t'arTiiis a Kcslauruiit M iak.
Two young gentlemen a lillJ the worse
for wear dropped in one .'ict uiday evening
at a certain Clark ttreet restaurant, and.
after consulting the bill of faro rather
hesitatingly, c-aeh ordered a sirloin steak.
In due course of tinm the steaks were de
livered to tho consignees, and they pro
ceeded to carve -them. One of tho young
men angered the waiter, after repeated
onslaughts on. his steak, by calling for an
ex. The other young mr.n was calm and
unmoved. After vainly endeavoring to
cut Lis steak while iu a sitting posture
he arose, poised his knife and fork r.nel
addrcsssed his friend as fellows: "Vou
just keep your eye on me now. Year3 ago
1 used to dissect" remains over in a homeo
pathic medical college on the West Side,
aud I'll 'do' this steak if it kills me. I
am the great prodissectcr. Watch mo
and wait for the big show!" and tho
young physician cleverly separated the
component parts of both steaks in a mas
terly manner, although it was plain to be
seen that his incidental remarks had ex
ercised a rather depressing eCect upon
the appetite of his young friend. Chicago

Why She Took Lessons.
Julius Eichberg. tho well known Boston
musician, tells this story of an early ex
perience: One day a lady somewhat
advanced in years came to make arrange
ments for taking private lessons in sing
ing. At tho end of the second lesson the
teacher felt constrained to tell her that
her ear was net true. She received the
remark very coolly, ami at the next lesson
sang as badly as before. "I am afraid,"
said Mr. Eichberg, "that you can never
learn to sing In tune." "Oh. it doesn't
matter," was the surprising answer.
"Doesn't matterl" said the astonished
teacher. "No," said tho pupLL "I don't
care anything about music, but my doctor
said that singing would be tho best thing
for my dyspepsia, and so 1 decided to take
lessons.' Kew York Sun,
