OLD HR.jHeKLEPODT"
1IY KhIJASOn KIRK.
"I haven't thy slightest objection to
.Trie ! : , uiy ( .cnr.uiid when Jio has saved
money enough to provide for you in
cne of sickness or misfortune I will
gladly sivo my consent to your mar-
riuue. "
• • How much monoy , papa ? "
"IJcally , Flossie , yen. aro incorrigi
ble. Say $0,000. "
"And that , -ith hi. ? present salary
would take live years at least. "
"And you would have reached the
advanced ugetof li. "
"Pretty old , papa. "
"Yer > : n the neighborhood of the'sore
and yi'dow. "
"I've a good mind to mjarry Mr.
NicKIepod. "
"Excellent idea. Ue would doubtless
settle a million on youand be accom
modating enough to die in a month or
two. "
"lie's most old enough to die , isn't
he ? "
Judge Somerton looked up from his
pile of papers and gave his daughter's
speaking countenance a quick exam
ination. There was something in her
manner of asking this question a little
different from usual , and the judne
was an expert in detecting shades of
this kind.
"Mr. Kicklepod told mo one day
that he would izive anything if he
could have me about his house all the
time , " the girl went on , half laughing
and half pouting.
"You would make a splendid trump
eter , Floss. "
The Judge's suspicions were quite
allayed now , and the easiest way out
of these annoying complications
was to treat the matter as lightly as
possible.
"Oh , my lungs are good , " said Flos
sie ; "and I wouldn't mind singing into
the trumpet. Papa Somertonwhat a
lark ! Think of how many edifying
things I could nay with my back to
the poor old gentleman. I could abuse
him to all the furniture in the house ,
and he'd never be the wiser. I'll con
sider it , papa. "
"When a woman considers , she is
generally safe. "
At this point the Judge resumed his
search among the intricacies of chiro-
graphy , and his daughter went on
with her dusting and putting to lights.
After a while the silence was again
broken by the latter.
"You were poor when you married ,
papa ? "
"As a church mouse , Flossie. "
"Why did you do it ? "
"Because I didn't know any bet
ter. "
"But you and mamma were verv
happy ? "
"Florence , " and now the kindly ,
middle-ased man brought his hand
down hard upon his desk , "if I had
waited until I had saved some money
your mother would be alive now. It
was hardship and poverty that sowed
the seeds of a fatal disease. In three
years , Flossie , there were two childern
born to us. My salary was quite in
adequate for all the added expenses.
Then came frettinjjs and heartaches ,
and a six months' illness of my own.
We suffered as none can understand
save those who have had similar ex
periences. Your mother was IS Flos
sie. She should not have married at
that age. Our love was all right , but
our marriage at that time was a
fatal mistake. Now you know why I
advise you as I do. "
Long after the Judge had left the
house thesaddeningeffeet ofhis words
remained , but youth is unable to re
main very long in the shadow of an
other's grief , and so after a while
Miss Florence doffed her sweeping-cap ,
put awtiy her sad thoughts and went
out into the garden. It was a warm
April day , and .shrubs and grass were
responding in their brightest manner
to nature's caressing invitation. Such
a day was too much for Flossie. She
could scarcely have been sad under
any provocation , but a look at the
bright , sunny face and the sparkling
brown eyes was enough to convince
one that the spirit of mischief was ex
ceedingly strong within her. Her co
quettish garden hat was posed at the
exact angle for becommgness , and her
plump little figure , arraTed in a dress
she had cut and madewith her own fair
hands , was one to be looked after and
admired by every lover of harmony.
There was a gate leading from the
Judge's garden to that of his million
aire neighbor , the latter being posses
sed of that genial " and generous dispo
sition which" likes to share his pleas
ures with others. Mr. Nicklepod , who
was fond of working with his flowers ,
spent much of his time in his large
hothouses , and thither the young
woman , humming and smiling , betook
herself. Mr. Nicklepod's ear-trumpet
reposed by the side of a bed of carna
tion pinks , while its owner busied
himself with some orange trees further
on.
on."I wonder how long I could stand
it to yell into an ear-trumpet ? " the
visitor soliloquized. "Of course I could
hide it when I didn't feel like talking.
But then I suppose he'd be mat
ing signs and faces at me.and I should
have to make faces and signs at him ,
and that would be worse than the
trumpet. " With this the judge's
daughter seized the somewhat formid
able looking instrument and went to
meet her friend.
"Why , Blossom , good morning , "
said the millionaire , heartily. "No
body but you ever thinks to bring me
my trumpet. "
"And nobody but me would ever
think of hypothecating your trum
pet , " said vhe naughty girl under her
breath.
"How's your pa ? " Mr. Nicklepod
continued.
"Quite well , but a little cross , " said ,
Florence bending the " ' .
, over "porring-
er' as she called it. "I hope you are
not cross , Mr. Nickelpod ? " ,
The smile deepened about the girl's
mouth as she wondered what must
have been her expression of counten
ance when giving utterance to these '
words. She felt it to be the most de- !
signing speech ot her life.
"Cross with you ? " protested the
old man. gallantly ; "Impossible. I '
can't believe the Judge is ever cross ,
Blossom ; but if he "is , you can run 1
right away to my house any time ,
and you shall have everything you J
want as long as you live. " i
"I seem to be travelling by lightJ J
ning express ; and on the locomotive 1
at that , " said the minx , sotto voice.
"But what would papa do ? " she askJ J
pA of th trnmnoh- i
'
BHBaJBWJaffasBSHBPMK
*
a
"You will bo leaving him soim time ,
I sunposo Blossom ? "
"Yes , in about fifty yearo , " eaid
the girl to herself.
"And you see , nhild , " Mr. Nickle
pod went on , "it would be "ery handy
for your pa if ho only had to come
next door to see you. "
"I never { bought of that , " said
Flossie : "and I guess I'll come. " said
she aloud , and then to herself , "I wish
I dared ask him how long he thinks
ho is going to live , "
"I'voagood mind to take you at
your word , Blossom. I'm a pretty
old man , but heartv yet , and there is
one thing I haven't forgot , and that's
how to treat women folks. I'm a
very lonesome old duffer , too , with all
my money , child. "
"The back cato would bo real con
venient for papa , wouldn't it ? " said
Flossie into the trumpet , and in a
tone which was just on the edge of a
sob. "But by what gate could Jack
come in ? " was the next thought , and
now theob was softly shattered ,
and the April tears fell in a b'inding '
mist.
"Blossom , what's the matter ? " snid
the old man , with real concern. "It
can't bo possible that the Judge has
really been cross enough to make you
cry ? "
"Oh , no , indeed ! " said Flossie. "I
was thinking how nice it would be to
have all the flowers I wanted. "
"You could have had those at any
time , " was the somewhat disconcert
ing response.
"Yes , Mr. Nicklepod" Flossie was
determined to be honest even in the
hour of her greatest deceit "and all
the money. "
The seamed and wrinkled face took
on a grave expression , and the old
head shook a little at the mention of
this word.
"Money isn't everything , Blossom , "
he said * "Money won't provide mo
with ears , or keep the rheumatism
out of my knees , or the loneliness
from my heart. But you shall have
money. Now go and tell John to
cut all the flowers you want , and
then run home and tell your pa of
my oiler ; I think you had both better
come in and take dinner with me to
night , and we'll talk it all over. "
"He doesn't act particularly hilari
ous , seems to me , " said Flossie , as
she turned away. "But I'm engaged ,
anyway plighted to anoctogenarain ,
or a centurion , or something of that
kind. Jack'U hate me , of course ;
but when he finds I have done it for
his sake he'll have to relent. If I
don't have but a million , that will
be better then scraping and twisting
tor years to save five thousand
dollars. Papa always said that
riches would be very becoming to me.
Poor papa ! Poor Jack ! "
When the Judge returned to his
home , about 3 o'clock that afternoon ,
he was much surprised to find his
daughter reclining upon the library
lounge with her head tied up.
"What's the matter Flossie ? What
is it that smells so ? "
"Vinegar , papa. I've hadhysterics ,
and this is the reaction. "
"I hope you are not getting cranky ,
and weak , and nervous , like the girl
of the period , Floss. "
"I'm not getting anything , papa ;
I've got. I've got all I want , and more
than I want. I've got old Mr. Nickle
pod and his ear-trumpet for my fu
ture husband , papa , and there's mill
ions in it ; but where oh , where is
Jack ? "
For a moment the Judge stood as
if petrified and then burst into a
perfect fit of laughter. At this point
the vinegar bandage was discarded
and the prospective millionairess
came to a sitting position.
"Isn'titfunny ? Isn'tit very funny ? "
she remarked , with flashing eyes.
"But you are responsible for it , with
your talk about § 5,000. I went de
liberately into Mr. Nicklepod's and
made him propose to me. I was
bound to settle it to-day. And now ,
papa , will you break the news to
Jack ? We are to dine with the ear
trumpet to-night , and then exeunt
parties and dances , with Jack so
handsome and lovely in his full-dress
suit , and enterlong-sleeved gowns and
old age without ears. "
"You'll have ears enouah for both , "
said the Judge. "They seem to have
grown longer since morning. "
"But , papa , Mr. Nicklepod is cer
tainly over 80 , isn't he ? "
"Flossie , what have yon been do
ing ? "
"Truly , papa , just what I said. O ,
dear me , how my head aches ! Mercy !
how my heart aches ! "
"Upon my word I thought better of
Nicklepod , " said the Judge to himself
a while afterwaid. "But I pity the
man young , old or middle-aged who
gets my Floss ! " and then the Judge
laughed again , though there was a
touch of something besides merriment
in his heart.
That evening the millionaire was at
his best. Carefully dressed and "val
eted , " as Flossie remarked , he looked
much younger then when in his garden
or on the street.
"Good for forty years , I should say ,
Floss , " whispered the Judge , wicked-
"He is real handsome , ' was the as
tonishing reply , "and I shall live to be
proud of him. "
"I suppose Blossom has told you of
our compact , " Mr. Niklepod began ,
when at dessert , the servants having
left the dinning-room.
The Judge nodded , the ear-trumpet
being on Flossie's side
"Are you agreed ? " was the next di
rect question put by the old gentle
man.
"Nod up and down , " said Flossie.
"Don't you dare do it sideways. "
The Judge reached for the trumpet
and yelled into it.
"We'll talk about that later. "
"Very well , "said Mr. Nicklepod ; "I
am , as I told Blossom , an old man ,
and perhaps not very good company ;
but I Know how to treat women folks
let 'era have their liberty , and give
them plenty of money eh ? " and now
the millionaire's face was fairly radi
ant.
ant."That
"That ought to be satisfactory , "
said the Judge ; "but there are those
who would abuse such broad privi
leges and one of them is not so very
far off , either , " he added , under his
breath.
"Perhaps , but Blossom wouldn't be
one of that kind. No , indeed , I am
sure of Blossom. "
The Judge shook his head "side
ways" that time. It seemed an invol
untary movement.
"Can't you circumlocute to how old
he is , papa ? " said naughty Flossie.
"I was telling Neighbor Davis this
morning , " the host began , as if in an
swer to her question , "that I really
look older than I am , being only 72
last week. "
"You are in for it , " the Judge re
marked , as the speaker paused a mo
ment to fill his class. "Feel of vnnr
4b. - , + -rSwf. . _ , - , . , - wrffti > in > * aj , t
ears , Floss , and learn for youraolf il
they haven't grown. "
"My father , "Mr.Nicklenod resumed ,
'
"lived to bo 06 and then died from an '
accident. My mother was in her 90th j
year when eho passed away. In fact , j
we are a very long-lived race , though
we seem to age early. "
"According to precedent twenty
years at least , " said the Judge.
"The reason I haven't married
again , " the millionaire went on , "is
because I could never bring myself to
believe that any one whom I cared for
could ever care for me ; and to have a
wile whoso constant wish was for my
death would bo rather hard lines eh ,
Blossom ? "
"Blossom" managed to nod her
head , but her face was turned away
from her host , and her father was sur
prised to soe how pale it was.
"Why aro you like Cicsar's wile ? "
the latter managed to ask , in hi3 old
joking manner. If Flossie lost her
grip at this crisis the consequences
would be more dramatic than he car
ed to comtemplate. But hapyily the
change from the dinning-room to the
beautiful library caused a change in
the conversation , and the victim of
her own folly had a chance to recover
herself. It was a longstrance evening ,
and one to bo remembered while life
lasted. The two men played check
ers , while the girl guest wandered
about among the books and pictures ,
stealing occasionally into the great
drawing-rooms , and coming back
again as white and scared as if she
had seen a ghost.
"Will it be lonely for you , Blos
som ? " the old gentleman asked , as
she returned from one of these excur
sions. "I've been thinking , " ho add
ed , without waiting for an answer ,
"that it'll make things about right if
I can persuade your pa to come , too.
Ho has no one but you , and then I
need some business help , and it would
be a heartening thing to have a true
friend at hand. "
"Oh , dear ! he is going to marry us
both , " muttered Flossie.
"What do you say , Judge ? " Mr.
Nicklepod went on. "Suppose you
try it for a year ? There is no reason
why this house cannot be a home to
you both in the truest sense of the
word. Do take pity on me. neighbors ,
for I believe I am the lonesomest old
vagabond in the whole world. "
"Judge Somerton , I wish I was
dead , " said Flossie ; and then , seizing
the trumpet , she said in broken tones :
"Mr. Nicklepod. you are an angel ,
and papa don't know what
to say , and I am in just as bad a
state. I'd love to live here with all
these beautiful things , and with you
so kind and generous , and so would
papa that is , if he has a single sense
left. And I made up my mind I would
live here , just because I lov6d Jack
you know Jack and he hadn't any
money , aud he couldn't marry me in
about ten ages. "
"For mercy's sake , Floss , " the
Judge | ) iit in , imploringly , "don't be a
siniDleton. "
"It's begun , and ithasgotto come , "
was the girl's quick answer. "And ,
Mr. Nicklepod , I thought some time I
could take Jack a lot of money that
is , if he could wait for me and I didn't
see how I could really do you any
harm that is , if you were truly fond
of me. "
"You are an honest , blessed girl , "
said the old man , brushing away a
tear , "and I am truly fond of you ,
and truly desirous to promote your
best interests. But , Blossom , I would
no soouer marry you than I would
kill you. Such a wicked thought has
never crossed my mind. You shall
have two fathers , Blossom , and you
shall have Jack , too ; but not to
marry him now , because you are not
old enough , and Jack hasn't had a
chance to show what kind of stuff
there is in him yet. Five years from
now , if he proves worthy , you shall
go to him with a dowry. Then we
will have the jolliest wedding that
ever was , and I will dance with tha
bride. "
For a moment there was utter
silence in the room , and then Flossie
lifted her right hand , a" .d with a
characteristic movement of her little
fiorefinger , said into the trumpet :
"You two men have had your
heads together. That is as plain as
the noso on your face , " giving her
father's nasal organ a little tweak.
"But , Papa Nicklepod , Judge Somer
ton and his daughter will be with jou
anon , and the way you will have to
stand round and mind the housekeep
er will be a caution. "
"AH right , " said Mr. Nicklepod ;
"give me a kiss ; and I do wish I could
tell you how happy you have made
me. "
The kiss was given , and it was no
disgrace to Flossie that her eyes
overflowed with tears.
A Wonder in Industry.
Some faint idea of the enormous
proportions to which the canning in
dustry has grown , is given by this
clipping from the Commercial Enquir
er of New York :
"A man who conveys the impression
that he knows what he is talking
about , estimates that 'the packers of
food in this country use in their busi
ness some 1,000,000,000 cans annu
ally. A box of tin plates weighing
from 10S to 112 pounds provides
about 8 cases of cans. A case con
tains one dozen three pound cans , or
two dozen one pound cans. ' There
fore , according to his figuring , a box of
tin will make something like 100 cans ,
so that it requires something like 10 , -
000,000 boxes of tin plate to make
the cans used yearly. The weight of
the metal alone is about 110,000.000
pounds , and the cost , our informant
tells us , is in the neighborhood of $15. -

Champagne Seasickness.
Chicago Journal.
When Mr. Lincoln made his visit to
General Grant's camp at City Point ,
Va. , in 1864 , he was met by the Gen. ,
eral and his staffand upon being ask
ed how he was , said : "I am not feel- '
ing well. I got pretty badly shaken up
on the bay coming down , and I am ' '
not altogether over it yet. " "Let me
send for a bottle of champagne for
you , Mr. President , " said one of the
staff officers ; "that is the best remedy (
I know of for seasickness. " "No , no ,
my young friend , " said Mr. Lincoln :
"I've seen many a man in my time '
seasick ashore from drinking that
very article. "

Miss Florence Ba3'ard was quite fortu-
nato lastA eek in canyingr off prizes ,
winning iirf.t prizes herself at the tennis
tournament , and her dog , Deny , bring
ing homo a third prize to his mistress
from the dog show. Miss Bayard's &uc-
cess is the more remarkable since she
has been devoted to tennis but a short
time. In addition to Derry , Miss
Baj-ard owns another pot dog which it
is said would have surely Avon a first

thought if the animal did win it would

A Very Sluipl lliir < > iuot r.
One of the simplest of naturo'sbarome-
ters is a spider's web. When thero is n
prospect of wind or rain , the spider
shortens tho flaments by which its web
is sustained and leaves it in this state as
long as the weather is variable. If it
elongates its threads , it is a sign of fine
calm weather , the duration of which
may be judged by the length of which
the threads aro let out. If the spidei
remains inactive , it is a sign of rain ; il
it keeps at work during the rain , the
down-pour will not last long , and will be
followed bj' fine weather. Observation
has taught that the Bpider makes changes
in its web every twenty-four hours , and
that if such changes are made in the
evening , just before Buuset , tho night
will be clear and beautiful. St. Jamee

"Well , I dreampt thatl was in a candy

"And I what was I eating ! " cried Bob ,
getting red in the face at the thought
of it.
"You ? "
"Yes , I. "
"Why , you weren't there at all. "
"I wasn't there at all , and yott went

"Don't break the engagement for that ; tell

Kciiiarlcable Surgery.
The pcience of surgery has made such
wonderful progress in modern times , that
the most intricate and delicate operations
are now undertaken and carried to a suc
cessful ipsue. There are now several well
authenticated cases of what is known as
jineumotony , that ib to say , the remoTai
r > f diseased portions of the lungs in cases
of consumption. While , however , this del
icate operation ban sometimes been suc
cessfully performed , the risks attending it
are so great , and the chances of recovery
so slight , that it is seldom resorted to.
The safest plan in constitutive caB s is to
use Dr. Pierce's Golden Mo 'dical Discovery. t
This will always cure the disease in its !
earlier stages , thoroughly arresting the I
ravageB of the terrible malady , by romov- j
ing its cause and healing the lungs.

"Xono to do it reverence" cannot bo
said of the Pouvth of July , 1883. Tho
whole Not tlm est commenced on that
tlato n jubilee , the like of which has
never been known in this country ; aud
to the general patriotism excited by tho
occurrence of tho "Declaration" anni

the fact that 1888 marks tho first century
of the existence of the Northwestern
portion of tho United States as a civil
ized communitj' . Only ono hundred
years of time separates the eras of tho
wild beast and Indian from that of the

has been tho utilization of the experi
