Man always needs a cook. A college professor, bereft of his wife, who had done his housework for years, engaged a cook at greater wages than had been the allowauce he gave liis wife. He bar gained for punctuality. "1 must have my dinner at 12," he stated. "I can't get it ready till 1 o'clock," she answered. He yielded and changed the hour of his college recitation. The next week sho demanded a new stove, as the old one was too low. "It costs too much," ho expostulated. "I can't afford to hurt my back," she replied. He Iraew it was not so easy to find an other good cook, and bought tho stove. A week later she desired him to send for tho carpenter that the back staircase might bo changed. Then he dismissed her and became a boarder. Which was tho cheaper thing to do? Pittsburg Dispatch. THE FLOAT AT WELUESLEV. , A Dress Parade of College Girls on th Ike Near Their School. Few New Yorkers know" whatn 'gala occasion is tho float at Wellesley college. It is the annual dress parade, as it-were, of the college girls on the pretty lake of Waban, which borders one side of the college grounds. Four hundred acres of rolling .and partly wooded fields extend about the college halls and dormitories, with plenty of tennis courts for the girls and shaded walks and well kept drives in different directions. The float at tracts many visitors, and all day long gay equipages and groups of young-men and maidens make brilliant thecene. . The function takes place at early even ing. By 6 o'clock a throng has collected on Waban's banks. Trees border the beautiful lake and Chinese lanterns deck the trees. Many hundred guests are as sembled by the lakeside waiting- forthe crews to appear. Tho gown and black square cap are -worn by many of the girls, and one had chosen hers of dark red with charming effect. A group of perhaps fifty students are waiting at the-landing to cheer off the crews as they pas3 through the crowd of spectators and descend tho bank. The sun is jrimost setting and the light over lake and land is enchanting. The evening songs of birds are heard among the hum of voices. The quiet expectancy of the moment is impressive. Presently eight girls wearing dark green gowns and large, round flat topped caps appear. The group of sing ers spell out gayly " W-E-L-L-E-S-L-E-Y Wellesley '91!" followed by the quick " 'Rah! 'rah! 'rah!" The spectators ap plaud and the crew seat themselves in the eight oared boat and put out slowly from shore. A crew in gray7oliows. The freshman crew in white flannel step daintily down the sandy plank to their boat. One crew in dark blue waists and caps and striped blue and white skirts make a pretty showing, and those in old rose seem to belong to the evening colors of sky and water. The rowing is dignified. Some crabs are caught, but not many, and usually grace prevails. Tho boats move gently off toward the middle of the lake. The pennons of tho crews and the Japanese lanterns add their beauty to the scene. The spectators cheer heartily and he girls shout their "'Rah! 'rah! 'rah! Wellesley!" bravely. Ten or a dozen crews thus move away from the crowd, and the seniors nearly capsize a little craft with two men in it which had run awkwardly under their bow. Some of tho last crews numbered but six, and tho "specials" sang as they pulled off: For class may coma and class may go. But wo go on forever! By and by, as twilight deepens, the boats come slowly back. Two stroke oars clasp hands and steady their boats into position near tho shore again. Two more row in between them, joining across and holding themselves there while five or six more draw up, their bows pointed together, making a star of boats. A tall and graceful senior, with a ribboned baton, rises from her seat and leads, with a clear, strong voice, all the crews as they sing song after rong, "A Maid Lives by the River," "The Smith Girls Have Much Wit," "Listen fo-My Tale of Woe," etc., but tho notes" of "Lauringer" ring out moro sweet and full than all the rest. Applause from the shore follows all the ssngs, often so hearty as to bring a welcome encore. Tho moon is shining brightly on the scene, and now colored lights are thrown upon the star of boats as their fair crews sing on and on. By 9 o'clock the voices seem a little tin The crews betake themselves with guests to tho college halls, and the float is ended. Cor. New York Tribune.

A few minutes after he reached his home his wife lay dead in his arms. Wednesday evening Mrs. Cosgrove, who is twenty-eight years old, went to a ball.

Dated August 11th, 1891. D. A. BAKER, 313 Sheriff. Chased by a Dullct. It was in a well known hotel in Bangor. A party of gentlemen were conversing on one subject and another. During a lull in the conversation one gentleman noticed a scar on the hand of another, and inter rogated him as to the cause. The other answered that he received it in a very curious way, and told the following story in regard to it: I got that wound in the battle of Get tysburg. I had been fighting all day and felt very tired, and so sat down on a rock and shot from there. I was just loading up my gun when a long, lean, lank fel low darted by me, making for the woods like a streak of greased lightning. I up with my gun and let drive at him, but be didn't drop, and as I had shot just 999 and didn't want to loso the tbousanth," I started after him. I never saw a man run so fast in all my adventurous life, and I could see that I was gaining upon him, but every once iria while I lost sight of him behind a tree or rock. I noticed a lull in the fight, and glancing aside I saw that both armies had stopped fighting and were straining their eyes to see the race. That raised my courage, and 1 forgot all about being tired. Just then I made a spurt of speed, and as I did so I felt something strike my hand which spread out like the fan of a windmill WelL to make a long story short, 1 caught up with him and was about to collar him when ho turned about and tried to stab me. I dodged his blow, and just then something hit him and he fell over dead. 1 sat down beside him to rest, and as I did so noticed blood trickling down my hand. -On closer investigation I found that there was a bullet hole in the palm. The dead man had a bullet hole in his breast, and 1 am positive in my belief that both wounds were made by' the same bullet, and that it was the same bullet that I had fired at the Conf ederate. The race was so hot that 1 caught up with and passed it at some time during my chase. Tbat is why I now wear that scar. Bangor News. A New Shoe Illacklng.

I.ciivltt'H Travels. The steamship Nevada, of the Gnicn line, brought with hor lire. Mary Clem ent Leavitt, of Boston. Mrs. Leavilt left this country eight j-ears ago, with a steamship ticket in her pocket and a plentiful supply of faith. She was a member of the Women's Christian Tem perance union, and at the national con vention of the organization in 1833 it was decided to send out a world mis sionary. Volunteers were asked f& and Mrs. Leavitt was the first to apply. She was accepted. It was understood that the association would pay all the expenses of the trip, and before the con vention adjourned $1,000 had been snb scribed. She determined not to accept it. "I'm going on God's mission," she said, "and he will carry mo through." She purchased her steamship ticket with her own money. Very little has been heard of her since she went away. Occasionally a letter was printed in the organ of the associa tion telling of her progress. There was great rejoicing a month ago when a let ter brought the news that she had near ly completed her journey and would be home again. There was a mistake about the date she was to sail, and the only person who was on the pier to meet her was Mrs. Mary Towne Burt, tho presi dent of the Women's Christian union of this state. She looked, Mrs. Burt said, just as she looked the day she went away, and no older, though she is now a grandmother, one of her three children whom she left behind having married. Mrs. Leavitt went to Boston. She will remain there until October, when she will come to New York to attend the national convention. In tho eight years she has been away Mrs. Leavitt visited the following places: Hawaiian islands, New Zealand, Australia, Tas mania, Japan, China, Siain, Straits set tlements (Singapore and Malay penin sula), Burmah, Hindostan, Ceylon, Mau ritius, Madagascar, Natal, Orange Free State, Cape Colon, England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Congo Free State, Old Calabar, Sierra Leone, Madeira, Spain, France, Holland, Norway, Sweden, Fin land, Denmark, Germany, Italy, Greece, Egypt, Syria and.Tarkey. She has organized 86 W. C. T. U.'s, 24 men's temperance societies, mostly in Japan, India and Madagascar, and 23 branches of tho White Cross; has held over 1,600 meetings; has traveled nearly 100,000 miles and has had the services of 229 interpreters in 47 languages. Her expenses have been paid with money given to her at tho places she visited. New York Sun. A DOG THAT GOT A PEIZE She Didn't Propose to Hitn. One of tho late matrimonial engage ments is said to bo the outcome of a dar ing little piece of repartee on the part of the young woman, who has enjoyed the reputation of beiug not only a wit, but a beauty and belle as welL Although quite young, she was known to have de clined the honor of matrimonial alliance with several of tho best so called "catches" of the season, and it began at last to be rumored that her mind and heart were set on one of her admirers who had not, as yet, the temerity to come to the point. However that may be, the young man in question was hr partner in one of the Harvard assemblies during last winter, and during the inter mission for supper was seated with her in a sequestered nook, "far from the madding crowd." Apropos of something that had been said, he asked her laughingly if the re port were true that she had ref used all tho eligible men in her set. She blushed vividly for a moment, then suddenly raised her head, looked him full in the face and said pointedly, "Yes, it is true present company accepted!" It is, perhaps, needless to state that they re mained in the "sequestered nook" dur ing the rest of the german, and that the young lady wore t sparkling solitaire on her left hand within a few days. Rumor also has it that the above conversation was overheard by one of tha discarded suitors, who forthwith "gave it away." Boston Saturday Gazette. Tho Smart ladies' Tailor. The representative of tho house who favors us with his good tasto here in New York has not that suavity of man ner that one might expect in a court tradesman, or possibly he thinks any sort of a manner fine enough for the re publicans who patronize him. At all events, a rich customer who is "canny" enough to inquire prices when ordering went into this magnate's atelier to order a long coat, accompanied by a friend, and as she was a very good cus tomer indeed, Mr. himself deigned to stand by and advise. When, how ever, she mentioned the price she was willing to pay, Mr. very boorishly remarked: "Wo don't make cheap things, don't you know. Wo use tho best material. Of course, if you were buying a coat like this, and made of stuff like this" Here he rudely and contemptuously touched the sleeves of the coat worn by tho lady's friend, who made no reply, but, quietly removing the garment, showed the inark on the inside of the collar to the discomfited great man. She had purchased it at their London establishment. Ho might have apolo gized, but, contenting himself with muttering something incoherent, he beat a hasty and undignified retreat, routed for once, to the great joy of several here tofore browbeaten customers.

She looks al ter their morals, manners and teaches them a bit about the culinary art. Re cently "mint sauce" was the dish of which the young ladies were to learn the composition. With great care Mrs. Bunn culled tho mint from the fields, and the girls longed to taste the delicate sauce made from freshly gathered herbs. Tho lamb was served, the sauce dipped, and tho first young lady who tasted the compound, forgetting her manners, shrieked, "It's c-a-atnip!" and it was. New York Advertiser.

How do you expect to exercise the inherent prerogative of every free born American citizen when you grow up and vote as tho dictates of your con? ciencu and man dates of yonr best judgment suggest, if vou can't fkrht better than that? HE WASN'T ENTERED IN THE SHOW, BUT WAS GIVEN AN AWARD. Ho Was a Homely Brlndle Car of the Streets and He Saved His Little Cassia Master from a Watery Death The Faith fal Dog Receives Dae Credit. There was a bench show of dogs in the Central rink, and all the pugs, and terri ers, and mastiffs, and St Bernards, and bulldogs, and all the other high bred dogs who were sure to what class they belonged, and whose owner could prove their right to be so classed were there. People were coming and going, and the papers had been full of descriptions of the affair, illustrated by wood cuts of some of the finest animals. Over on another street of the same city was quite a different scene. In a narrow court near the river lay a shivering, white faced little shaver, whose clothes dripped water. Over him bent another boy with a quart of steaming hot liquid in his hand "Drink this here hot coffee, Jim," he said "Bill's gone for to hunt up some dry duds, and maybe we can get yer inter that engine room ter dry. Don't yer go ter gettin faint nor nothin' now. "Want yer head raised a bit?" But the boy raised himself on his elbow and looked around him. He took a drink of the coffee, and seeming to get strength said: "Where's Buster?" "Oh, he's around somewhere. Buster's all right. There comes the boys with the duds, and we'll have you all right, too, in a minute. Don't feel dizzy or nothin', do yer?" 'Tm beginning to feel first rate again. Where's Buster? Some of you whistle; I ain't got the wind." But at that moment abobtailedbrindle dog came around the corner, closely pur sued by a couple of boys. "Let Buster alonel What are you chas ing Buster for?" demanded the prostrate boy. "Why, yer see," explained the others still keeping up the chase," there was a man said if we could get him around to the dog show they'd give him a prize for pulling you out of tho river, and he won't let us catch him." LOOKING FOR A PRIZE. "Wot sort of a prize is it?" demanded the wet boy. "Money, youwoodenhead,you. They're all swells down there, and he said there's a prize for the best dog that saves a feller's life." This was enough to satisfy the inqui ries of the smaller boy, and to excite the best efforts of the others to capture the dog, but for some reasons he eluded them. Perhaps he had good reasons for being suspicious of boys who were too friendly. Anyway, he dodged and kept out of their way, almost causing one of them to be crushed under the wheels of a cable car, when tho wet boy gave a low whistle and ordered the dog to "come 'ere." The animal obeyed without a whine. "Nowlaydownl" The dog got down and pnt his nose between his paws, "You've got to go and get that there prize, and Tm going too." It was doubtful at first if the boy would be able to keep his word, but by the help of the others, who had taken off hi3 wet clothing and wrapped him up in some thing drier, ho managed to go. When he saw his master going tho dog followed, and they soon stood before the bulletin board in front of the rink, an nouncing the bench show and the terms of admittance. There was some consultation, and then while four of them stayed with the boy who" had been in tho water, ouo of tho largest took the dog by the strap around his neck, and, paying the admission fee with the combined wealth of the com pany, undertook to drag the dog in with him. "Here! leave that dog outside," com manded the doorkeeper. "You can't take that dog in with j-ou, 1 say." "What's the reason? Ain't I taking him in to get the prize?" "What prize? There is no prize for such curs as that. Turn him out, I tell you." A ritlZE WAS GIVEN. "Yes, there is a prize. Wot are you givin' us? Didn't a man tell me so? He ain't going to eat up none of j-our fiue haired pups, but he's goin' to get that prize." There might havo been a fracas and an arrest, for the boy who had paid his money was positive and determined, but just then a gentleman chanced to step to the door and asked what was the matter. "Oh, he's got a fool notion about a prize for brindle pups," explained the gatekeeper, "and is making a fnss about his dog going in." "There isn't such a prize offered, I am positive," said tho man. "1 am one of the judges." "What sort of a show is this here, then?' "A dog show, of course." "And no prizo for the best dog?" "It is for a certain kind of dogs those that cost a great deal of money." "And not for the kind that jumps into the ice and drags a boy outen the river?" "Did your dog do that?" "Yes; and that there's the boy he did it to." The gentleman looked incredulous, but just then a newspaper reporter who had been watching tho boys from the street stepped up and corroborated tho state ment. i "Wait here a minute," said the gentle man; and he disappeared within and Wtnt briskly to where a group of hi3 friends were talking. In a minute he camo back with something in his hand, and followed by several others. "Wo have decided," he said, "that there ought to be a prizo for that kind of a dog, and hero is a five dollar gold piece for tho owner of the dog," and sit the same time he stepped forward and tied a knot of blue ribbon to the strap around the dog's neck. A prouder lot of boys were never seen than those street waifs as they led the dog away. Our Dumb Animals.

An engage ment ring, to bo perfect, must now con tain the features of the beloved giver. This is tho way it- is done. A large, per fectly clear, and somewhat flat diamond is selected, and underneath a tiny minia ture portrait of the gentleman is placed. Tho face, which is distinctly seen through the diamond, is set in a frame, as it were, of very small emeralds, rubies or sapphires. When the lady is desirous of giving her fiance, in return, some token of their engagement she generally presents him with a pencil caso in gold, the end con taining her portrait set in like manner behind a diamond and surrounded with jewels.
