HOW I CAMK TO MARRY. IT NELLIE M.SANFORD. "So you want to know, Mena, how such a rattle-brained creature :is I came to get a husband so dignified, so even thing, in shoit, near perfection, and so different from myself? Xot much of a story, so you needn't Vit on that self satisfied look, and settle yomself back so cosily in your great arm-chair. I al ways feel like sticking needles into peo pie's back's when I see the particular look on their faces that yours weais this very minute. Do stop." m And before 1 could move, up jumped the little witch and shook me till rny teeth chattered. "There, Wilhclmina Martin," as she gave me a final settlement, "I've shaken that out or you; and now you look com fortable, and I feel so." nd with face Hushed and curls Hy ing, down sat Mrs. Frederick IJond, to give me an account of her courtship and marriage. "You know, Mena, how I was dragged about from pillar to post every summer making a living dust-heat) of invsulf. converting my lungs and throat into a receptacle for all the stray cinders and smoke of cars, and at my journey's end stowed away in some narrow hole call ed a room; and then the tortures of dressing, and company, and flirting, and eating Oh, it was dreadful. To be sure -the bathing was nice. I enjoyed New port for that the only thing in all our summer's touring that J did really and heartily enjoy. How hard Aunt Mason tried to make me a belle! and didn't I astonish her one line morning in June by telling her that I was going to Clay ton Hills instead of the usual route. I had the plan all made, and was engaged Ttf.en to teach the district school for live aollars per week. No wonder you stare only don't look so much like a grass hopper with those long arms pointing out that way. You didn't know what Ettie Forrester was about that summer, did you? Well, it was all my own no tion. I thought it would be so nice to teach 'the young idea,' and all that, you kif?7w. But dear me, Mena, theory and practice are two different things, and while the school-house looked so roman tic five hundred miles away, and the children were so sweet and cherubic, anil the spelling-book possessed attrac tions I had never discerned in younger days, the romance faded out, and left w in a decided matter-of-fact mood be fore the door of the little red shanty and the rows of snubhy children in blue checked aprons and bare feet. However, 1 suppose I shall astonish you still more by saying J braved it out and taught my live months, and was made a better girl with that contact with the world by those walks in solemn woods, among tbji- grand old pines; by but mercy, Mena, you needn't think L'm going to be sentimental, for I'm noil I had a nice boarding place with a widow and her two little girls. I was glad there was no possibility of my having any one to flirt with. I was afraid I could not re sist tie temptation, if I had, and I was heartily sick of it. Imagine my con sternation when one morning at the breakfast table I met Mr. Bond, ire had come up to see his Aunt Mary. "What under the sun he wanted to see her for I can't tell ; for he hadn't honored her roof with his presence beneath it for seven years ; but there he was, eating berries and cream :is coolly as if he owned the whole farm. Such dignity! I was awed by his bow, and felt like fffeathing an iceberg when he addressed me. Then a reaction took place, and " 'action and reaction being equal in ot posito directions' as our natural philos ophy used to tell us I laughed in his face at a remark he made concerning the weather. Such an astonished look as at first spread over his countenance! adding with an amused look deep down in his eye, and a slight quiver under the dark moustache. I thought there was some fun in him. I wasn't mistaken, either, but for weeks I labored to get off the frigidity, and dig down to where the warmth and love of frolic lay. In vain were my attempts. Dignity forever sensed his motto; and wearied out, I hoped something would happen to him to startle him out of that everlasting state of propriety. I was in despair; I wished a rattle-snake would chase him, that he'd slip down in the awful mud they have in those regions, and get up covered with the yellow mixture; that he would burn his mouth with the hot coffee sand drop the cup making a spurge in th.it way; anything, so that I could see him unbend; for hadn't he come in and criticised my school, and found me puzzling my brain over a hard example in fractions? Hadn't I actual ly been obliged to ask his help in one of those hard things in the back of the rf arithmetic; and hadn't my very best spelling class disgraced themselves and me by their attrocious murdering of their native tongue? There was a beau tiful stream running through the village and in the center of the river a little island, not much larger than a good j 9i?fW dining plate, with one graceful willow drooping its long branches to the water. It was a perfect little arbor and my favorite resort. A boat fastens to the shore the only means of cenveyance to the island. One night I was walking by the riv- - e thinking of Will Hale, my oldest boy who had been raising particular Cain that day not a very refined comparison but expresses the idea perfectly; so, please excuse it, dear. I couldn't decide whether to give him a sound thrashing, to expel him from school, or to try once nflfrre the effect of moral suasion. "Sinful nature and patience tried to the utmost leaned decidedly to the form er, while reason and fellow feeling for the boy defended his case ably. As I, was sitting in judgment upon the case, and about to pronounce sentence, I was settled to see my boat grandly sailing down stream, and looking up beheld Mr. Bond on the island, leaning forlorn against the willow, and gazing anxious ly after it. "Good," thought I, "now you are in a -Urape." "At the same time, seeing me, he ex claimed: "Can you tell me how I can get off this confounded place?" "I laughed. 1 threw myself down up on the grass when I could stand no lon ger, and laughed till I had scarcely strength to breathe. I was brought to my senses at last by the gentleman join ing in my mirth, with: "Really, Miss Forrester, this is vastly amusing, I know. I can sympathize with your feelings in that particular though I think you have the advantage of p'sition." "And again he laughed. If he'd kept on his dignity, I should have kept him there all night, as true as my name was Etta Forrester; but he seemed so jolly about it, I took pity on him and started to intercept the boat. The river took a sudden turn a distance below the island, and there carried by the current, was my boa', safely lodged bytween two huge logs. Just as I came again near him, perched disconsolately under the tree, the ludicrousness of the whole af fair struck me so forcibly that! threw down the oars for another laugh. One fell over the side of the boat, and reach ing hastily for it, I was capsized. I went down laughing at the horritled expres sion of Mr. Bond's face. As I was going down the second time soler then, Me na I felt.'rnyself grasped in strong arms nd dragged on shore. It was some min utes before I recovered consciousness; but when I did I found myself clasped tightly in Frederick Bond's arms, while he was uttering all manner of things, :md raving beautifully. I'd been grati fiedhad seen hirn in a scrape, and knew he loved me; sol rejoiced his heart by letting him know I was alive And just then who should come along but Will Hale, in a boat out fish ing, the naughty boy, instead of being home learning the rules for next day's arithmetic lesson. However, 1 fonrave him, and tried moral suasion with fine effect; for he turned out the very best boy in the village. I finished my term, and came home, and w;is married,great ly to Aunt Maso s delight, for several reasons, one of which was that Fred was such a good match she couldn't have asked for anything better and an other, I suspect, is that I'm off her hands and can't horrify her by any more of my daily doings. "And that is how I came to marry Frederick B.md because he asked me, and I said yes ; and here you have kept me all morning telling this yarn, and not one of those berries are picked for tea. Come and help me, Mena.'' Can We Ever Photograph Colore? Every inquisitive person who has eyer gone behind a photographer's camera to admire the sharply defined and beauti fully colored imago focused upon the plate has wondered whether science would finally succeed in seizing and fix ing the tints there exhibited, as it has succeeded in fixing the lights and shades. In the fitness of things it seems as if this ought to be achieved, sooner or later. For forty years we have been making the sun draw pictures in black and white. This, from an unscientific point of view, was the great problem. To make the sun paint the pictures which it draws, and copy nature in col or as well as in form, would seem to follow necessarily in the development of the art, and the discovery of amethod ought to be only a question of time. If there is truth in a statement which is now going the rounds of the news papers, credited to the Loudon Stan dard.the process of photographing in natural colors has not only been discov ered, but is actually practiced in Eng land. The art is called Poikilography. The patentee is a Mr. Lombard i, aud he and an American Associate have bro't the invention to a basis of practical utility. In other words, they are mak ing money out of it. It is not surprising that the announce ment of a discovery of such radical importance as Mr. Lombardi's should attract attention and excite interest among laymen. But before fully ac cepting the statement as fact, and cred iting Mr. Lombardi with an achieve ment that ought to place his name in history beside tnose of Daguerre and Talbot, it will be well to take several things into account Three or four times a year .we read of the discovery of per petual motion. Once in a while we are told that the squaring of the circle has been accomplished. Descriptions of a machine that goes of itself have long since ceased to awaken enthusiasm among physicists. Mathamatical pro fessors hear of the squaring of the cir cle without manifesting undue exulta tion. They know, in the first instance, tnat there cannot be perpetual motion, and they know, furthermore, why it can not be squared. Thus fortified with gen eral principles, they are prepared to lis ten with quiet amusement to any num ber of rumors of the impossible. As physicists regard perpetual mo tion and as mathematicians regard the squaring of the circle, so practical pho tographers and scientific men generally regard the prospect of photographing in colors. They know that it cannot be done. If auybody claims to do it, they immediately set him down as either a lunatic or a quack. The story which the London Standard has let loose from the limbo of exploded canards is at least thirty five years old. It has its origin in the experience of a distinguished man of science. About the year 1640, Sir John Herschel, in ex perimenting with a prism and a camera, found that when he received the solar spectrum upon silver chloride, the neg ative displayed several iamt but dis tinct hues. It was thereupon reported that the great discovery had been made Unfortunately, however, the colors in the neg ative failed to correspond with those of the spectrum, and repeated ex periments failed to show auy law of non-corre3pondence. Herschel quickly found that the phenomenon was due entirely to an accidental circumstance. Xot long after this, a French savant, M. Neipee, announced a.similar discovery, upon accidental conditions. In neither case was there any connection between the color of the ray acting upon the sen sitive agent and the color produced there. In fine, the hues observed on the plates of Sir John Herschel and M. Keipee were opalescent, due solely to the thickness or thinness of the 01m on rh frlrma anil nbithtar mnra nnr 1mm in ,. . ' , ,. , . dicative Of a grand discovery than the Bimilar colors seen in soap bubbles Or l3inglK83, and on Shells Of mother Of .ri Kumors like that of 1S40, based on the easily explainable phenomenon that at first puzzled Sir John Herschel, have been floating about among the uneduca ted for more than 30 years, and from time to time have found lodgment in the columns of pseudo scientific jour nals. It is now universally admitted by chemists and physicists that natural colors can never be produced by the process of photogiaphy. There is a broad philosophical reason for this be lief. Color has no objective existence. It is s'mply the brain's interpretation of the rapidity with which the waves of the ray of light beat against the retina. Beats more rapid produce the sensation of the mind known as violet; beats less rapid, that known as red. The violet and the red are nothing but the vibra tions of the ether until they reach the opt c nerve and communicate to that the vibrations which the brain translates. Until collodion, or fome other sensitive agent, can be made to vibrate like the optic nerve, and can be endowed with intelligence like the brain, the undula tions that fall upon it in a ray of light will remain undulations and nothing more. In other words, it is as impossi ble to photograpn color as it is to photo graph sound. Exactly How Heliotypes duced. are I'ro- In order to appreciate the full bearing of the heliotype process it is necessary to allude a little to photography and how the ordinary photograph is made. Almost every one has sat for a photo graph, and knows there are two steps in the process. Fiist obtaining an image on a glass plate by means of a camera placed in front of the object; and second, produc ing its counterpart en a sheet of paper. The glass plate is called a "negative;' i Is counterpart on paper is called a "posi tive," and is what in ordinary phrase we designate a "photograph." In both these steps the operator) is dependent upon light both of the results are chemical. The "negative is produced by light acting upon the sensitive mate rial with which the glass plate in the camera is ooateu. As soon as chemistry has firmly fixed the light-producing im age on the glass plate the plate is placed in contact with a sheet of sensitive pa per, and the action of light is again in voked to impress the image on the pa per, and produce the "positive," or, as we are in the habit of saying, "the pho tograph." Now, each one of these "pho tographs" requires a fresh use of the "negative" and a fresh exposure to light to produce It, thus making the process of production very slow, cumbrous and uncertain. It is at this point the heliotype pro cess separates itself from chemical un certainties and betakes itseel to the surer ground of mechanical methods. It already has its "negative," as in the pho tographic process. It now needs its "positive" by rapid and sure means. To do this it must first produce a "positive" plateor matrix capable of mechanically producing other "positives," aud tnus dispense with the continued use of the "negative1' and the continued use of light (which comes only on unclouded days) in every impression. The differ ence between this process and ordinary photography is that while both start with the samo principle, the photograph ic process employes the "negative" and the indispensable agency of light for any "positive" it makes, while the helio type process uses the "negative as the means of producing the "positive," and that "positive" is capable of producing an infinite number of others by the or dinary process of printing with print era' ink on the ordinary printing press. The finest engravings are thus repro duced with an exactness that betrays no difference from the orginals. National Republican. Premature Loss of tbk Hair, which is so common nowadays, mayjbe entirely prevented by the use of Burnett's Cocoaixe. It has been used in thousands of cases where the hair was coming out in handsful.and has never failed to arrest its decay, and to promote a healthy and vigorous growth. It is at the same time unrivalled as a dressing for the hair. A single application will render it soft and glossy for several days. THE MARKETS. BW YORK.

It was the largest knife and fork In the world. The knife measured nine feet eeven inches In length, the breadth and thickness were in proper proportion as was al ! to the size of the fork. This was the product of the Beaver Falls Cutlery Co., and the actu al cost was tiSOO. It was one of the curious things at the Eznosition and was enjoyed highly by all visitors. The knife in itself was only an exhibition or attraction to establish the capacity and skill of American progress in this line. No establishment In the country was so well fitted to undertake a demonstra tion of American workmanship. It is only a few years since every body wanted to see "Sheffield" stamped on a blade to insure good goods. But the few years since our war have shown that this was all a notion, for to-day me cuuery oi American snops istne very best in the world, and none in this country that rank higher than that of this company. Prom the establishment of the works in ISOo to this day the best skilled labor has been employed, the very best of English and American steel has been used and a complete line has been made including pocket and table cutlery. The proprietors themselves are practical men and no second rate poods have been permitted to get into the market. With the best machine ry and a thorough knowledge of the secrets of tempering the bUdcs there is no reason why this and other companies should not succeed as they have, but to the credit of the Beaver Falls Cutlery Co. it must be said it was left for them to furnish the proof, and their services to the country, in establishing the name of American industry, have been rewarded by a very large consumption of their goods. Th'elr trade-mark is a sure guaranty to their possess or. The American eai;le flaps his wings in triumph over the British lion which crouches under the claws of the bird. This Is appropri ate to the condition and circumstance, and indicates thefaithand courage of the owners of the trade-mark. In the purchase of table and pocket cutlery no other sign Is necessary than this trade-mark. That Wile of ."Wine. Yes, Betsy Ann could never hold her tongue, would "blab out" all she knew. So one day she fell in with old Aunt Polly Baker, who had been sorely afflicted with Ckills and Fever several years, and could find no relief. Betsy Ann volunteers to say there was a remedy that would cure her sound and well, and that it did not contain any "bad medicine," that it .lid not make "thunder In the head," that it fairly "tore up" the chills, root aud branch, and worked them out through the liver and bowels, and that the article was known as Day's Ague Tonic. Aunt Polly was cured very soon thereafter. Go or send to L. II. Bush, De6 Moines. The Peerless Shaking Grate. There is nothing which renders the home more cheerful than an open ire grate; and there is no sys tem or tneory oi ventilation equal to it. uur western homes have been generally neglected In this respect, but recently we find that this introduction here and there in some of our fine houses has created greater interest. Few of us but that recollect something of the ge nial hearth fire when our father's house was radiant with the log fires In the old cabin. Un der the stimulation of American genius, the desire for ornament with comfon, the old ways have been improved and to-day the grate fire reflects Its warmth from one of the chief ornaments of the house instead of the ungain ly chimney of old. The competition for orna ment and usefulness has been great, and Bis eell & Co., of Pittsburg, Pa., the manufactur ers of the "Peerless Kadlator Shaking Grate" have obtained the greatest excellence. Pitts burg is the natural headquarters for all this class of goods. There the abundance of coal has naturally (treated a demand for the open grate. There also iron work of all kinds has received greatest attention and hence we may expectthatalargeand wealthy firm like Bid sell & Co. would not rest contented unless with their facilities they secured par excel lence the grate that was wanted. The "Peerless" is their own and is covered by letters patent in every particular. Its con struction is based upon scientific principles. It is the only thoroughly reliable agitating grate in use, as well as the most beautiful anil ornamental grate in the market, and unequall ed for economy, cleanliness and heating pro perties. It is 'operated just as easily as any stove, and its peculiar merits are thoroughly appreciated by the people, for thousands of them are in use and iu the handsomest resi dences in the country. Here In the State of Iowa where Improve ments are continuing so exteuslvely, a State growing more rapidiv thau any other in the West, aud with our bountiful supply of coal the Peerless Grate should be adopted as a necessary adjunct to completeness. They are made in' all sizes and styles to suit any chim ney and at prices from f'JG.OO upwards accord ing to the finish desired. The expense is no greater than that of common stoves and they are certainly more desirable. Here where fuel Is cheap the grate will find its friends and what we desire to impress is the fact that Bis sell & Co. 's Peerless Kadlator Shaking Grates are the best. Be Bute to get the genuine.

Nature, in her luxuriance, has clothed the hills and the dales with herb and shrub, whose occult natures .merely require the earnest ap plication of the scientific and inquiring mind to reveal their curative properties, for in the vegetable world a kindly providence has plac ed healing for all nations. The only specifics for any disease yet discovered are vegetable in their nature, and while quinine has been accepted as the only remedy for one class, the extract of the buchu plant is rapidly taking its place as a sovereign remedy lor other of those ills which afflict numanity. The type of disease to which it is remedial is a broad one, and its manifestations are legion, bat it may be stated in general terms that all diseases of the urinary organs, whether caused by cli mate, Irregularity, or self-generated, submit at once to the operation of its power. Helm bold's Buchu for all such complaints, is the result of long research, and is acknowledged superior to all other preparations.

And ll is useless tor any one to Interpose objections on the ground of ex travagance, fcr It Is not extra vagance, except where preference Is gi"en to adornment for things more essential. There Is therefore no apology for commending tdlvcr ware as one of the things which have a (crmanent value to the family, viewing It from every aspect. The point to be alined at in the production of silver ware Is that which place it within the roach of the masses.

We venture the as sertion no other company In the Vnltexl states, of as many years standing, can make n showing equal to that. Inird Willi scarcely an exception there has been a great falling off iu insurance business of all kinds, but the Burling ton is a marked exception. Its business has not only increased over two hundred per cent, dunug the first nine months of the present year, but the remaining tkree montlis are ordinarily Ike best Iortion of the year. This may seem like vain-glorious boasting, but we can assure our reade s it is true. Harlington hits just occasion V) be proud of the suc cessful organization lustring the name of our city. -An examination of the facta, how ever, reveals the ciuses which have led to this highly gratifying success.

No haz ardous risks are taken. Mr. John ( .Miller, the secretary, never permits templing premiums to swetve him from his inflexible rule of safety and prudence.

Each agent is under bond with good surety and is responsible for the risks he sends ill as to tho accuracy of his statements, and, besides, agents know by e.erience it will be useless to send in any applications on haz irdous risks. Tho result is that the Burlington gets the cream of the busiiifsi, and its pa trons, being the creme de la crerne, get the benefit of this cautious iwlicy. This is evident from the fact that the losses of fctto )ur littt-ot t oottkf.t.viv litoi y', were only eleven per cent, of its prem ium receipts 1 And the average for the past two years is only nine and one fourth per cent!
