BEFORE AND AFTER.
A Christina tnr ta Tws Cfcaftara.
I. BEKOKE CHitlSTMAS.
The g:rl3 ha-1 never liked Hetty.- It
begau with her lirat day of school, that
cool, October morning, when she ap
peared in her pretty dress of blue cash
mere, which formed so lovely a contrast
with her fair skin and yellow curl.
Nqas of the Cotton Hollow girls had
curlfjzair except Hetty Jonas whose
blacl cks kinked tip funnily all over
heriead, aud although one or two of
the younger children secretly admired
the golden floss that tumbled itself into
audi thirty heaps over the white fore
head, or strayed down to play with its
owner's apron strings, nobody hud the
courage to say so after Sarah Graut had
declared thatshe "would rather have no
hair at all than such sozzly looking stuft
as Hetty Northam's."
Then Hetty wore dainty white aprons
unlike the gingham and calico the school
had always known, and the new schol
ar's boots and stockings were altogether
of a different order from Susan Cum
nrags' or Gerty Smith's.
When Hetty's father purchased the
freat mills at Cotton Hollow, and took
is wife and Hetty and Baby Dimple to
live in the house vacated by the former
mill-owner, it was decided that Hetty
should attend the small school in the
Tillage. Across the ravine a mile or
more was a htrge school, to which the
foreign jiortion of the mill-workers sent
their children; but thu little school by
the side of the church was madii up of a
-dozen or more girls, and half as many
bovs, mostly Americans, but all children
of poor parents.
So when shy, sensitive Hetty took her
place with theother.s, and at recess did
not speak-to anybody, but satin her seat
musing oer her spelling-book, 30 un
usual a proceeding was at once attrib
uted to pride and haughtiness, and an
unfavorable impression was created that
was not easily effaced. Thus impression
was deepened three days later, when
Hetty answered correctly a question
which the others in her class missed,
and in consequence gained the first place
which for months had belonged to Sarah
Graut, the b-t scholar in school. This
event roused all the tire in Sarah's nature,
and although she regained her position
a week afier she was not easily forgiven.
During tht weeks before Christmas
Hetty made almost no progress in ac-quain!niice-hi)
with her companions.
She surmised from their actions that they
did uot care for her company, anil being
an exceedingly bashful little girl, she
drew more within herself, and watched
their games fnui her silent corner on
the window which overlooked the play
ground, often wondering why nobody
teetued to like her belter. Once, shortlv
after her entrance into .school, Gerty
Smith li id asked her to "i-ime and play
tug," but Hetty, confused and abashed
by to.: number of curious eyes bent upon
her. hid abruptly declined the in vita-Jon.
The next moment she was sorry .she laid
not said Ves; but n )od asked h.'f again.
One d iv at ftve-ss. wliou it wanted
but a week of the happy Christinas
time, Hetty was alone, in the schoolroom.-
The la: i"-ho!ar had disappeared
down the Mail-way. and Mr. Bacon the
te.tciier, had gone down the street on his
daily visit to the post-otliee. Hetty
citis.- tliM loom, aud threw open the
window, l lie uir inside was hot and
close, and she stood for a moment
breathing m the Ireslmess. and watch
ing the cloud-shndowi on the opposite
Ji.lis. tioiv while with their sparkling
in. title of iiewlv-fa'len snow. Outside
on the .steps below were huddled to
gether a group of girls. As usual Sarah
Grant was the -peaker:
!roud. stuc.;-np thing!" she ex
claimed, angrily. "Catch me bowinjr
down to her la iyship! I don't s;e what
she's rot to be so proud over, for uiv
"Why.

Mr. Northam is awful rich.
..What if he is? Money aiu't every -filing,
aud Metu Nortliam ain't any

nil J he mill hands were to have their
wages vriit down next month. 1 say Mr.
Nonliain hasn't anv right to screw us
down o as to buy tine clothes for Miss
lleitv.and I hale her!"
Tne :r rls were used to Sarah's haran-
fties. an i -non tired of them, so Emma
'orter ha-toned to say in a softer voice:
Well never mind; let's sitdown here
in the sun aud tell what wed like for
hriMipas. I. for one, want a new pair
of skates. What do you want, Sarah?'"
"I don't k ow of anything I should
like better than lots and lots of books,
untes it was a good, warm shawl. I
almost freeze in mine. Yes. I do know
what I want most, thougha book with
that -piece of poetry in it that Hettv
Northaru spoke last week. O, it was
beautiful!
On the Friday before Hettv in her
tnrn. aceording tn the custom of the
school, had recited Poe's " Bells" and
their strange music had charmed Sarah
Grant; who, notwithstanding her blunt,
sometimes coarse speech and hasty
temper, loved poetry, and she longed to
read fr herself the words which had so
pleased her.
"O, you are crazy about those -Bells.' "
Mid Gerty Smith. "It was splendid,
but there are other things I'd rather have
for Christmas I wish I could have
pounds and pounds of candy, just as
much as I could eat for once, and a new
doll. Beatrice is all worn out and
mother says she shall not Tt me
another,'' she concluded, mournfully,
thipkiag.-of the forlorn darling with the
torn .aros and shoeless feet.
"Humph! you may have all the dolls.
I want a sled so I can slide down hill
with the JUoys," put in Katie Cohn.
1 i'.'So do. I want a sled, and a book full
of rictares, and a bird, and a new dress,

little Hattie Morris, drawing a. long
breath. "What do you want, Mary?"

"I gness I--should rather have a new

"Sarah Grant!" whispered Gerty Sniith
hurriedly as they rushed upstairs at the
sound of the bell; "I do believe Hetty
Xorthaa was at that window; I caught
a glimpse of somebodv."
"Don't care! Hope she heard!" was
Sarah's response.
II. AFTRB CHRISTMAS.
Sarah Grant was tbe first in tbe school
room on the morning after the Christmas
holiday. Emma Porter and Gerty Smith
soon made their appearance.
Sarah met the newcomers at the door,
flourishing two handsome books over her
head."
" If I didn't get just what I wanted!"
she cried, excitedly.
" So did I!" " So did I!" eagerly
exclaimed both girls.
" These lovely books! They are full
of pictures--gilt-edged and all; just see!"
Sarah went on. -Aren't they elegant?"
"Yes, yes; but who gave them to yeu,
Sarah? We haven't the least idea where
our presents came from: have you?"
"No," replied Sarah, "I haven't, and
I don't know as I care, so long as I have
them. O, they are so lovely! ' aud the
excited girl hugged them close.
"My skates are beauties," said Emma
Porter, and Getty's doll "
" A wax doll with real early hair,"
mt in Gerty," and lots of candy, choco
ate, and cocoanut. and peppermint and
everything just what I wished for that
day it's so funny!"
"Girls, girls!" burst ia Katie Cohn,
running up to the noisy group, " I've
got a new sled, and I don't know where
in the world it came from! Mother says
there isn't any Santa Clans, but I believe
there is."
"There's Mary! I wouderif her wish
came true."
"I've got a piano!" began Mary, as
soon as site caught sight of the others.
"You don't mean it, Mary Tucker!"
"I do!" said Mary, half crying aud
half laughing.
A man brought it
yesterday afternoon, and he wouldn't
tell mother who sent it, only that it was
for me. And besides, thero'was a beauti
ful shawl aud cashmere dress came last
night lor mother, and oh, girls! Here
poor Mary broke completely down.
"Whatare you crying for.little goose?''
exclaimed Sarah Grant. " Guess IJ
wouldn't cry because I had a piano. Who
sent it, do you suppose? Some of your
rich relations?"
"I haven't any, and I have been so
afraid that the man made a mistake and
would come aud take it away."
" Well, I shouldn't want to give up
my new shawl," said Sarah, displaying
it 'proudly. "Just see how thick 'and
warm! hut the best of all is, that Mr.
Northam has raised pa's wages."
" So has he raised father's!" said
Emma. Porter.
"And ray father's, too!" echoed the
others in chorus.
" He has?' Sarah stopped suddenly,
and for a moment her face was a study.
It wore a puzzled expression, as if she
were trying to see her way out of a diffi
culty. She turned in her quick way to
Gerty Smith:
" Do you suppose she heard? Could
she have'sent ?" Sarah glanced to
wards a desk iu the corner. Its quiet
little occupant seemed to be studying;
her eves were fixed upon her book.
"I'll ask her I'll find out!" said
Sarah Grant.
There was no smile on Sarah's face.
, as she crossed the room; instead, a
troubled, set look about the mouth.
Shestoppcd in frout of Hetty's desk.
""See here!" she said sharply, "ilidyou
have any thing to do wtthodr Christmas
things?-"-.my books, and Mary's piano?
Ditl you?" still more sharply.
Hetty hesitated; her face was flushed,
aud the girl was fairly trembling ith
exeitement. l-oV a moment no uuSwei
came-, and then she took refuge iu the
monosyllabic -Why?"
"I want to know; did you or ditl you
not?" demanded Sarah harshly.
"Ye yes," stammered Hetty. 'fright
ened at Sarah's sternness. ."1 1

Do yoih mean to .s iy fhat ydu heard

"I heard joule I but- I'm not I

"And you gaVe me those' books! O,

Tears were pletfteous. but after all

"What presens did', yon have?"
somebodv asked if iletty
Hetty ditl uot reply Tat once; shf
blushed painfully.
"Not much: some money" she said
finally, as her questioner preWd her.
Sarah Gran was quick to Link.
"Hetty Northam," she sura, slowly,
"did you gija up your Christmas for its
girls? An 1 said I hated youand you
heard me! V
"Why.4've had a lovely Chqstmas,
I wantedto do it," said Hetty, simply;
"I had things enough." V
Just jit this juncture the teacher ap
pearedin the doorway, aud noting some
unusnlil stir, "hastily .inquired the cause.
Saah Grant was too deeply buried
amid Hettv's ruffles to expl-tin, and some
body else had to tell the story.
Katie Cohn afterwards asserted that
there were tears in Mr. Bacon's eyes as
he put his hand on Hetty's head and
stroked her soft curls, and ttob-nly else
could see clearly enough at the time to
contradict her.
True to nature. Sarah Grant could not
let the affair end without putting in a
word:
"Mr. Bacon. Hetty Northam is an
angel!" To which he answered:
She has given good for evil. Sarah

I have sometimes thought.Telemaehus,
if a man could only have always present
with him some constant reminder of the
flight of time; if he could have in his
room a great hour glass, ladetrwith just
the equal and exact sands of his life, ifj
he could every day watch the steadily
dropping grains, and knew that when
they all ran through the last grain would
just complete his grave; if when 18
closed his eyes he Kiiew that all night
long the priceless grains ran through;
if in the silent hours of darkness when
he awoke, he could hear them dropping
steadily as the drip, drip, drip of a
water clock: if when he came in from a
journey he could see how much of the
sands of his life had run out while he
journeyed for pleasure or profit; Jf.
sometimes, he could stand before it
and watch the swift grains running away
with his life: and h.' could feel that al

and alway every houi the IhV heap above

could make them run more slowly by
and by, or add one light grain to the
measure meted out and scaled against
his life by the ineStorable fates, I wonder
how many of the dropping grains he
would turn to gold by the alchemy ot
his industry?
Pshaw, my son, if you had such a
glass the novelty of such a thing would
wear away iu thirty days. Some night,
when you came in late from a toiUome

The British Debt.
The popular conception of the Nation
al debt is that it amounts 011 a tough es
limate to 800,0rj,0:i. aid that all
efforts to reduce it have, lotieln: I only 5
small fraction of it. The accoitu's. how-
ui'ni firttfiA tliif fiit tlis t! iitfii'litt sf it
century-in fact, since the wlii-Iiife up
of the charges of the Crimean War
the reduction of debt has gone 011 stead
ily from year to car. In 18"i7-'oK the
total amount was -i:5J.OO ),0 rJ: in 1S:S
'66, at the close of Air. Gladstone's most
brilliant period of financial administra
tion, it was brought down to 81."i.000,
000: in 18G8-'6!. when the Conserva
tives had held oilice for three vears. it
hadfallcnto 80;i.0X).0)0; in l873-'74.
a greater advance had been made' and
the debt stood at 78:.000.000: and in
1875-'76, the process having been unin
terrupted by the change of Government,
at i,772.0UO,000. At this point there
wasa turn iu the tide, due mainly to the
exigencies of foreign politics, and until
the last financial year. 1881-'82. the debt
never stood at so low a figure as in 1875
'76. Last year it was 7G8, 700,000. and
for the present year thd ollicial estimate
fixes the amount at 7C:1.000.0iH)' that
is, 76.000.000 less than the debt as it
stood five-and-lweuty years ago.
This is not an inconsiderable reduc
tion, even if the char.u ter o the burden
were precisely the same as that to which
the Nation was subject at the close of
the Crimean war. But. as Mr. Huhbard
has pointed out in on.? of his instructive
letters which was lately printed on thi?
subject, a large part of the debt created
in recent years, which has diminished
the apparent net reduction, is Repre
sented by certain valuable assets unlike
anything to be found on the rigktvside
of theaccouut of 18o7. For exanple,
the purchase of the rights and property
of the telegraph companies by the
Sttte involved the creatiou of nearly
11,000.000 worth of stock, but in ex
change for this the Government has ob
tained possession of a paying concern,
at present actually yielding a profit equal
to the interest on the stock created for
this purpose, aud giving fair promise of
a much larger return. Again, the money
raised for the purchase of the late Khe
dive's Suez Canal shares figures as a
temporary increase of the debt in 1876;
but the shares, it is admitted were al
ways full value for the 4.000,000 which
were paid for them, and arc now, if it
were expedieut to part with them, worth
a great deal more. M. de Lesseps re
minded us the other day that the origi
nal 500-frane shares are now worth
about 2,700 francs each in the open
market, and though of course the shares
held by the British Government stand in
a different position from the ordinary
shares, because interest at five peT cent,
is paid upon them by the Egyptian Gov
ernment, and not by the company, and
the regular coupons have been alienated
for several years to come, it is still ob
vious that they share in the increase of
value due to the success of the enter
prise. Another element in the debt
which is rather apparent than real is
the amount representing "loans recov
erable," which Mr. Hubbard reckons at
over :8,000,000. The official, return
shows that in the quarter of a century
the total decrease iu the debt, "not tak
ing into account the amount of debt cre
ated for special purposes," was over
119.000,000. But the "special pur
poses" in question include such unpro
ductive expenditure as that upon fortifi
cations aud army localization, which,
however necessary aud defensible, have
procured the country nothing in the
shape of a reali.abfe and recoverable
asset. Taking, however the assets that
may be properly set cfl' against debt
the telegraph property, the Suez Canal
shares, and the loans to public
bodies there is a sum of not less
than 48.000,000 to be subtracted from
the 763,000.000, which is the nomiual
amount of the debt at the present time.
Air. Hubbard insists upon juiothprfpoiSsV
in which, he maintains, the ;dicial
figures unfairly exaggerate the burden
upon the community. The amount of
the ordinary .stocks is computed at par,
anil certainly there seems to be no reason
for assumiug that the Government will
be able to extinguish their three per
cents, below par. But besides the or
dinary stocks there are the terminable
annuities, which iu calculating the capital
of the debt have to be reduced to cash
value. It is an easy actuarial operation
to determine the cash value of the ter
minal annuities. But in the otliei.il re
turn it is estimated as if invested in
three per cent, stock at an assumed price
of y.!.:l It is difficult to understand
why this imaginary conversion is made
at a price which has no practical relation
to the present value of consols. If the
Government had really to sell or buy
three per cent, stock, it would have to
deal upon the basis of a price ranging ,
within a fraction, one way or the other, j
of par. Mr. Hubbard appears to be
justified in his criticisms upon the incon
gruity of lumpiug together in the com
putation of the aggregate debt ordinary
stocks and unfoundeudebt all reckoned
as payable at par, and the capital value
of the terminable annuities supposed to
be invested at nearly eight per cent,
below par. If the value of the termin
able annuities be sunuosed to be repre
sented like the rest of the debt.iy three '

Flat Feet.
The chief surgeon of the Swiss Federal
army declares that the Swiss examining"
surgeons are compelled to reject every
year 800 recruits the strength of a bat
talion for malformation of the foot re
sulting from wearing badly-fitting shoes.
Tiie human foot is in reality a now so
elastic that at every step it expands and
contracts, lengthens and shortens. A
line drawn through the center of the
great toe should intersect the heel. But,
despite all tbe books which have, ever
been written on the anatomy of the organ"
in miftstinn
those whose business it is to
cover it act as if the foot were a solid
piece of mechanism. They cabin, crib
and confine the big toe, which requires
room for lateral expansion, until it is
forced ngaiust its ueighbors and is tor
tured by corns, bunions, and sometimes
painful inflammation of the joints.
Flat-footedness is due to many causes
connectel with improperly-made shoes;
yet, if people would insist on their foot
"rear beins constructed so as to allow the
toes free action and the instep its due
play, it would be quite possible to cure
the mischief.
A pair of perfect shoes, the Swiss
Medical Colonel contends, should, when
placed together, touch only at the toes I
and heels: tne soles snouia ioiiow tne
sinuosities of the feet, and to give room
for their expansion, should exceed them

by about one "size." The peculiar.
awkward running gait of women and
big girls is due to a weak-kneedness
characteristic of the sex, owing to the
different way the upper supports of their
limbs grow as they approach to matur
ity. This condition is well seen in pict
ures and statues, and forces the woman
ia running to move the knees around
each other, and throw the feet out in sue-"
cessijn of small semi-circles. In men,
on the contrary, the knee-cap looks a
little outward, instead of straight for
ward, and their knees are quite free.
The r4iilt of the hip-h-heeled. hio-h-
legged boots now in vogue for women
is to render the natural condition a de
formity, and by throwing the weight of
the body on the inner ankle, to hreak
down the arch of the foot and produce
flat-foot, or complsta evenness of one or

John Grismer had always been

English travelers, who write about

cause the tomato is used' almost a' gen

he saw that that vegetable was exten
sively used as food for swine. Dr. Dio
Lewis used to say that the too frequent
eating of it by human beings produced
salivation. The Italians have taught
Americans that fine tomato sauce makes
macaroni more palatable. But there are
many poor cooks who hide their short
comings by putting the tomato into every
dish; so that one chef recently said of
