HANNAH'S OFFER.
" Josiah," said old Mm. Conner, "if
you're not too busy I'd like you to step
over to the Markers' and take a message
for rue."
"AH right,

"Whir, I'd

iKmrdera are here," said
" And if you'll ask her
ma to let her eome, and tell her I'll give
twelve dollars a month, I shall feel M't
tled. If Hannah Barker won't come
Sarah Smiley will. Hut Sarah has to
be told everything, and Hannah, alio
just sees whal'x to be done and does it.
Come right out about the offer. I don't
want to Im; thought to be asking favors
of my neighborsrdaughten; audllannah
is practical."
Josiah Conner, who had been hoeing
tins garden, put his hoe in the corner
and went into the house. He took off
his gray flannel shirt and put on a white
one, a linen eoat and a straw hat with a
blue ribbon around it. He further sac
rificed to the graces by tying his most
becoming neck-tie around his throat
tinder a Miff, new collar. His mother
noticed this, but made no remark. She
was rather pleased that he should be
particular for reasons which she kept to
herself.
She watched him go down the road
with a certain jiridr, for she thought
him very good-looking, indeed. "Not
the sort of man for an old bachelor,"
she thought, "but he's live-nnd-thirty
to-morrow, and I can't see as he's taken
u shine to any one yet."
She sighed as the thought crossed her
mind. For though when a son desires
to marry, his mother generally opposes
it, when he does not she is always
anxious that he should.
"Hannah Barker is a capable, savin'
girl," she said to her milk-pan, as she
rubbed it. "But beauty is all young
men ever think of, amfllannah" i.sii
pretty."
And just as these words passed her
lips Jo.s'uih entered the Barker's gate.
Mrs. Barker, a very fat and very stu
pid old lady, was sitting on the 'porch
shelling peas. She had a reputation
for making a mistake whenever it was
possible, and Josiah knew it.
" Likely enough, if I'm not careful,
she'll think Another wants Hannah to
hell) her for nothing," he said to him
self, ".so I'll begin in plain words that
she can't help understanding."
And then ho made his bow and said:
"Good morning. How is your health,
Mrs. Barker?"
"Well," said Mrs. Barker, slowly,
"it nirtextry.butlought to be thankful
I an't worse." Mrs. Barker thought it
ungenteel to be too well, and always
answered in these terms to any inquir
ies regarding her health. " How'syour
poor ma?"
There was no one less to be pitied in
the place than Mrs. Connor; but "your
poor ma" was a form she invariably
used in inquiring after any one's mater
nal parent.
"Mother is well," said Josiah, taking
a seat on the lower step, "and she sent
me over to make an offer to Hannah."
"Lor!" said Mrs. Barker, dropping
her handful of pea-pods. " I want to
know."
"Yousce we've got boarders. They're
coming uj Monday." said Josiah,
twirling his straw hat, "and mother
thinks Hannah beats every girl she
knows. She considers her worth more
than twelve dollars a month; but, at
the same time, I was to make her that
offer, and she'll consider it a favor if
s.hc'11 accept it."
" Hannah is worth all that," said Mrs.
Barker with a sigh. "I'm sure I don't
know how I'll do without her myself.
Still, I hadn't orter stand in her way, I
know; and Melissa has made all the gin
gerbread and sjonge-cakc for two or
three months, and Samuel can milk the
cows."
"Why, yes. I milked four at Sam's
age," said Josiah.
"I want to know!" said Mrs. Bar
ker. Then she added, calmly: "I don't
know when I was more surprised than
by that offer you jest spoke of making
to Hannah. I hadn't the least idea it
was thought of, not for a minute; but
girls are so sly now-a-days they don't
tell anything to their poor mothers. '
"Oh, it hasn't been mentioned be
fore," said Josiah. "Hannah didn't
know. Can I say it's settled?"
"For all mc you may," said Mrs.
Barker; "and her poor pa don't inter
fere often, and I don't sec why he
should now; but if Hannah don't know
yet, it seems curious you should speak
to me. You'd oughtcr ask her first, you
know. I ain't a Turk. Their poor mas
do sell them unbeknown, Tm told; but
it an't my way."
"Where is Hannah, Mrs. Barker?"
pdded Josiah. "Til go and ask her
now."
"She's down to New York, snoo
ping," said Mrs. Barker, "and she may
stay all day; most likelv trill. But to
morrow is Sunday, and Til have the
lamp lit in the parlor, and you can talk
it over with her. Til tell her you're
coming, and why, and alL I couldn't
keep it to myself. But faint heart nev
er won fair lady, Josiah, and nobody
couldn't expect girl's poor ma to do
their courting for um, you know, unless
it was them Turk ladies the minister
spoke of, poor dears. I should think
she'd say yes. It's her first offer, only
from old Deacon Slinkins. Though
Morris Power is calling sort of irregu
larand Hannah is twenty-one. You
make your offer yourself, Josiah.
That's the way to get a wife, if vou
- want one."
Then Mrs. Barker arose and went into
the bouse without further ceremony, and
Josiah, who had come to a sudden com
prehension of her mistake, stood staring
i after her, quite dased and giddy. What
should he do? Run after her and ex
plain? That would be a dreadful thing
to do. Perhaps his mother could help
"him out of the pickle; and with this
faint hope he hurried home, and arrived
red in the face and utterly breathless.
"Well, Betsy Barker has pat on the
cap sheaf now," said Mrs. Conner.
"Bat, Josiah, I wish you didn't feel so
about it I wish you liked Hannah.
She's a girl after my own heart.1'
"I do like her," said Josiah, shcep

me having the impudence to go over

me lor aay money.
"Anyhow. youM better go orcr and
have the talk with Hannah," aaid Mr.
Conner. "She got good w:ne. if her
mother haan'U"
Poor Josiah differed all ort5 of men
tal torture that flay and all the long
Sunday, but when, "in the evening, a
light was seen to fihine in the Barkers'
parlor, be nerved himself for a great
effort. He was utterly without vanity.
The idea that Hannah 'could be pleaded
never occurred to him. It was to aoIo
gize for a seeming bit of impudence,
not to get out of an unintended offer,
that he wa going. His whole thought
was: "What can Hannah think of such
a piece of busings?"
It was a very miserable young man
who sat on the new gmn rep ofa in
the Barkers' parlor at last, waiting for
Hannah's coming.
At last a step cros-d the sill, and he
looked up. Hannah, in a becoming
buff muslin, with an amber comb in her
black hair, stol before him. She
laughed and showed her white teeth.
"How do you do. Josiah?" she said.
"What is this dreadful mhtakc that ma
his been making now? Don't blnme
h t. She'll Imj dreadfully ashamed of
it, I know. The idea! We might Imj
cousins, or almost brother and itcr.
Oh. what would you have done, Josiah,
if I had believed that you come here to
day to make me an offer?"
llannah looked very bright and natty.
Her cheeks were pink and her ees
shone. Afterward her motheraid that
Josiah must have been inspired to do
as well as he did. but it was a very nat
ural sort of inspiration.
What he answered was this, though
he had not been able to think what he
should hay as he came along:
"I wish to goodness you had believed
it, Hannah, for now I Vhall have to do
it all over again, and may be get the
mitten."
"It's almost too dreadful to joke
about, after all," said Hannah. "Ma
will Imj so ashamed. I am."
" I'm not joking vow, anyhow," said
Josiah. "Hannah Barker, I haven't
quite as much brass and impudence as
your mother thought I had, but I have
enough to get on with, after all. I al
ways have loved you, but I never could
see that you liked me. Will yon try to?
Will you marry me? Don't say no,
Hannah, or I shall think it is out of re
venge for mj' mistake."
"It was mother's mistake," said
Hannah. "Don't make one now,
Josiah. There ought to be a great deal
of love before people marry."
" There is on my side," said Jo.siah.
He had risen from the sofa, and they
stood looking at each other now. They
sat down in two chairs, one on each
.side of the window. The moon was
riMng over the hills. The shaded lamp
was not obtrusive. After a while Josiah
took Hannah's hand. Then his arm
stole altout her waist.
It was twelve o'clock when he got
home, but his mother was sitting up for
him. She looked at him inquiringly as
he began to wind the clock furiously.
When he had linished he went toward
the stairs, but half way up paused a
moment to sav:
" Mother, I guess you'll have to put
up with Sarah Smiley for a month. It
will take Hannah ns'long as that to get
ready, she says. I suppose she'll want
to make a silk dress and some other
things."
But from these words it was plain to
Mrs. Conner that Hannah Barker had
really had her offer. Mary Kyle Dallas,

Many a vigilant housekeeper would
be spared much vexation of spirit, if
.she understood the domestic arrange
ments of the moths as wellas she does
her own. She suspects even-thing
Lcpidoptcrous of being " the moth,"
and every insect of that kind that en
ters the fiou.se, no matter what its size
or kind, must be killed lot it ""eat
holes in the clothing. It will surprise
these watchful persons to be told that
the moth itself is liarmles. and eats
nothing. The proper clothes-moth has
a spread of wing of only about half an
inch: it flits about so quietly, and is so
small, as often to escape notice, while
insects many times larger are suspected
of being dangerous. The small size of
the true clothes-moth, its delicate buff
color, satiny luster, and es-eeiallv the
silky fringe upon the edges of the
wings, distinguish it from other moths.
In saying the moth is harmta. we
would not be understood that it is not
the cause of mischief. The only part
assigned to this creature, in its beauti
ful winged state, is to lay eggs. The
round of its changes is as follows: The
egg, from which hatches the larva or
caterpillar; this does all the feeding,
and is the destructive form of the in
sect; the chrysalis, in which state it is
dormant for about three weeks, and
finally the winged state or moth, just
described. Observe that the moth in
creases oulv from eggs laid by the liv
ing insect. The feeding moth, oreatcr
pillar, does not increase its numbers.
The .caterpillars feed upon woolen
fabrics and furs, and thev also use the
minute fragments of them to make
themselves a case or shield, a circular
roll, which they earn about with them
as they feed, and "enlarge as their
growth requires. In the Northern
States, the moth begins to fly in Mav.
but earlier in warmer climates, and
their eggs are laid in May and June,
when the insect dies. It will be seen
that, to preserve articles from injur-,
we must place them where the parent
moth can not reach them. The insect
is small, and can slip through narrow
cracks. Whatever will hold liquids will
keep out moths, hence furs and woolens
may be placed in whisky and other
barrels. If the articles are placed in
brown linen and sewed up, or in paper
and pasted up, they will be perfectly
protected. There must be no eggs or
moths in the articles when put away,
and the wTapping should be thorough,

The " dummy" money in the window
of a broker's office on Kearney street is
proving a dear advertisement to the
proprietor. A fortnight since two en
terprising young thieves smashed the
plate-glass window with a brick and
grabbed a lot of counterfeit greenbacks,
under the impression, that they were
good money. Yesterday afternoon a
glazier charged Mr. Anthony something
like seventy dollars for putting in a
new pane of glass. The job was finished
last evening, and at 7:45 a young thief
named James Neary, alias Sealv, alias
Ryan, demolished it with a cobble slung
in a pocket-handkerchief. Through
the aperture thus created he grabbed a
pile of neatly-turned brass discs of the
siae of twenty-dollar pieces, the top one
being a bona-fide double eagle. As he
thrust his hand in he toppled the pile
OTer, losing the twenty dollars andonly
secaring twenty-three of 4he brass
counterfeits. San Francisco Chronicle,
Fuller, in his "Small Fruit Cultur
Ist," says: "I do not believe that there
is one acre of strawberries in a thousand,
cultivated in this country, that yields
over one half that it would if the ground

A Chinese Flshlrg Village In California.
It was close on the edge of the water,
where a little inlet rounded in, below
high hills. As we drew near it. the
Mlor of fish came up over the hills, like
a smell from something cooking in a
vast caldron. The fences, the rooks,
the ground nil were covered with shin
ing little fishes, spread out to dry;
those tm the ground lwing laid on
frames of wooden slats. There was
only one narrow lane running through
the village, and hardly room on that to
step between the frames of drying fish.
On the roofs of the hovels, even, poles
were set up, and stretched from corner
to comer; and on them long lines of
fish fluttered in the air, like clothes
hung out to flry. Chinamen were run
ning about, emptying big baskets of
fish; other Chinamen were spreading
them, turning them, raking them apart,
gathering up the dry ones, and packing
them into baskets. The place fair
ly swarmed with laborers and their
implements; but all the workers kept
steadily on, as regardless of our pres
ence as though they had been ants on
an ant-hill. Every man, woman and
child was hanl at work; children that
were too small for anything ele 1 ad
babies strapped on their backs, and
were carrying them aliout. Little girls,
not more than eight or ten years old,
were at work industriously' cleaning
the fish, to prepare them for drying.
This was a disagreeable sight; it was
done in open sheds, where the floor was
black ami dripping wet with water and
the slim offal of the fish. Here the
women sat on high stools, in a
squatting posture, with their feet
curled up under them, cutting
and slashing, stripping the fish, and
dropping them into the baskets with as
swift a motion as if they were shelling
Eeas. They had the fingers of the left
and rolled up thickly in black rags, to
protect them against a chance sup of
the sharp knife. They chatted and
laughed as if they were engaged in the
most agreeable occupation in the world.
There did not seem to be an idle pair of
bands in the village. Old men were
mending nets, old women putting bait
on hooks. The only unemployed creat
ure we saw was one small baby.
It would not be possible tc give any
Idea of the way in which the houses,
sheds, boats, barrels, poles, nets, bas
kets, scaffoldings and lumber of all
sorts were huddled together on one nar
row alley not wide enough for two wag
ons to drive abreast. There was not a
foot of open ground. Looking down
from the hill on the roofs of the nouses,
one would thiak thev all belonged to a
single set of walls, roofed at different
heights and angles. It was a squalid
and filthy spot; it would seem impossi
ble for human beings to breathe such
air; and sleep in such dark, anventilated
hovels for any length of time, without
being made ill. Yet there are in this
little village nearly two hundred people,
many of whom have lived there for
thirty years in good health. They are
divided into three companies, each com
pany having its leader, who pays wage:
to the men and women, and has the
charge of selling and sending away tin
fish. St. Afcfefe.

Tliisisoncof the most frequent diseases
of the brain in advanced life. A por
tion of the brain undergoes fatty degen
eration. The softened mass varies in charac
ter and consistency at different stages,
but at one stage it'resemblcs moist gela
tine. In another form of it the mass is
as fluid as cream.
Its most common cause is an obstnic
tion in the neighboring arteries, which
cuts off the supply of blood to the part.
Snch an obstruction is often attributed
to embolism a small particle swept
from the heart to some capillary and
lodged there: or to thrombosis a
larger bit (perhaps of clot) thus swept
along and lodged in some artery; to a
tumor pressing on an artery; to "a flow
of blood from a ruptured vessel already
affected with degeneration.
Sometimes a feeble heart, nnable to
send the blood to all the capillaries of
the brain, may give rise to it- It is
often remotely duc to prolonged intel
lectual efforts, strong and continued
emotions, blows on the head, alcohol,
or to disease of the heart, caused by
acute rheumatism.
Softening of the brain may be either
acute or chronic. The former is fatal
within ten days. More commonly there
are no premonitory symptoms, and the
attack resembles that of paralysis.
When premonitory symptoms occur
there mav be pricking sensations,
cramps, bfuntcd touch, diminished pow
er of motion, increasing weakness of
the affected side and clumsiness of the
angers, hands and feet, and a tottering
gait.
Some of the symptoms of ekrenie
softening are increasing feebleness, loss
of memory, fretfulness, its of uncon
trollable 'weeping, dull pains in the
head, a sense of confusion, thickness of
speech, gradual loss of wascularpower,
listlessness. and later, paralysis of one
side, childishness, helplessness, disposi
tion to sleep most of the time. The
appetite and the weight may remain
good.
When there are premonitory symp
toms, the diet must be rigidly'simpw.
nourishing and of easy digestion. Milk
is the best. Nothing shoald be allowed
tending to increase the actios of ths
heart. YeyttCs Companion
