Now and then a girl becomes an ac tual belle. Ella Lowe was actually a belle. She was very handsome, and the only child of a millionaire. She dressed perfectly, and bad every possi ble accomplishment. When she entered a room she somehow threw all the other girls into shadow. A crowd p;athered about her chair, ana recognized beauties pouted in indignation at their neglect. Whether she would have been so much admired had she not been an heiress, it would have been hard to say; but she had had, on an average twenty offers of marriage since she "came out," and had not yet accepted any one as her chosen husband, though she was three-and-twenty. Perhaps the pleasure she took in her bellehood was too great. At last, however, almost on her twenty-fourth birthday, she met Mr. Evan Plant aganet, a .young exquisite of the a-stUctic type, and urged on by his mother and all his many sisters, engaged herself to him with her father's consent. When she did -this, one young heart ached sorely that of her far away .cousin, Roderick Blair, a physician new fledged, who lived with his mother in a pretty country town on the Hudson. He paled and moped, and his mother knew well what troubled him. "Why did you never speak to Ella?" she said. "How do you know she could not have liked you?" "She was too rich, mother." said Roderick, gloomily. " I could not seem to be a fortune-hunter. I would not owe so much to a wife." ".Not if she loved youP" asked the mother. But the son would have no more talk about the matter. The girl never could have been his. He himself did not un derstand why he should feel more un happy than before. Perhaps it was be cause, as his mother said, he did not know but that she might have liked him. And Mr. Evan Plantaganet exhibited his prize in public, ami his mother and sisters boasted of his engagement to "the daughter of Mr. Lowe, the well known millionaire." Suddenly there came a crash; a start ling piece of news petrified the fashion able world. It was uttered by every tongue, and published in even paper. The millionaire Lowe had embarked in .speculation, and his millions were gone. The great house was clo.sed. Mr. Lowe and his daughter went to live on an upper foor, in a plain street, and the mother of Evan Planta'jauet de clared herself shocked at the old man's deception. In fact, the young man himself was horrified at the situation of his prospective father-iu-law, and hav ing drawled out sundry reproaches, was offered his freedom, which he took at once. Ella was free, and poor, Roderick Blair, in his country home, heard the news. A few hours afterward he was at Mr. Lowe's door. He found Ella as bright as ever; in fact, she had long since grown weary of Plantaganet and his atlec tations. She wore a prettv dress and smiled and chat ted gay:y. The humble rooms were pleasant and well-arranj: ed. Never had Roderick passed a pleasanter evening. He returned home full of hope and hap piness. But though he felt himself honored by the privilege of visiting in that humble abode, most of Ella's admirer., and all her fashionable lady friends but three, gradually dropped her. She was no longer a belle. WIipu she accepted an invitation she found herself treated like other girls. The lesson was salutary. If her vauitv was hurt. Iter good sense was improved. One pleasant winter day she accepted the hand of Roderick Blair. It might be a long engagement, for both were poor, but they trusted each other. Meanwhile, Mrs. Blair was delighted. She came down often and brought, all the village news. Amongst other things, a description of the splendid new house a rich man, whose name she did not know, was building on the very next 1)iece of land to that on which her own jr wn cottage stood. It was a marvel of perfection, thor oughly well appointed in every way, and it was now being furnished from roof to basement in the most elegant manner. The furnishing did not come at lirst, of course. Indeed, it took six months to arrive at that point. And a stained glass window in the hall and a conservatory, thoroughly stocked, brought the old lady down on a special visit. Mr. Lowe was always interested in her account of the place. "I should like to see it," he said. "I will come up with Ella next Monday, and, no doubt, I may get permission to go through it with vou." "Delightful!" saul Mrs. Blair. "I adore handsome houses." Ella smiled; and the result was that the following Monday Mr. Lowe, hearty and happy as in his palmiest days, of fered his arm to Mrs. Blair, and leav ing the young people to follow, escorted her from her own quiet' home to the elegant new mansion. The man who was carefully polishing the stone porch opened the "door for him, and all four entered. Certainly a handsomer, and yet a more home-like house, could not have been found in all America. Mrs. Blair was in raptures. Roderick, looking down at Ellla. said; "My dear, I wish I could give you such a home;" and she answered: " Ah, Ro lerick, I wish I could bring buch a home with me when I come to you." Mr. Lowe heard, and paused with a emile. 'Say you so children?" he cried. "Well, then, my dears, if you like it, will give it to you. Take "it and eniov it." J It seemed a witticism, at which they all laughed, and the' went home to gether, happy and friendly, and took tea in the widow's cottage. After the meal was over, Mr. Lowe once more brought up the subject of the aew house. WpjJA yoa w ally like to live then, J. ' l ' T.J - - - - " fc. . I. 7 . 'J food Ella," he asked,' sofarfromtow jmd all its gayetiesr'." "Papa, I hate 'town,'" said'EUa "A country life and true, honest friendl forme." ' "' . ''I agree with yon, child, "sai4 "Mr .Lowe. "The world is very hollow, so ciety very unsatisfying to the soul, yet it is not usual to feel that'while we are young. .. . " We have had our experiences. I think they are sufficient. But, dear, friends, I haye a confession to 'make. The story of my total loss of fortune was, an exaggeration. I lostf fifty thoti .sand dollars, it is true, sufficient fora foundation for the rumor. I fostered 'it, and-played the ruined man to per- iection. Aly motive was to sav Jt.ua from a fortune-hunter, and togiy her to a good man who really loyed ho'r. She has found him. 1 " My dears, get married- as soon-as you-like. The house yonder, was built 40 you. You. Mrs. Blair, wilL 9! course, live with ' your" son, and you must find room for me somewhere within its walls, dear madam. I think we will all be very hsppy together. There, no talk about it now. You have engaged yourself to a rich woman against your will, Roderick, and will have to put up with it." And he took his daughter away, wrapped in her fur-linea cloak, and smiling back at her lover. Again the millionaire Lowe was a nine days' wonder in the city of New York. Again the fashionablo world offered its invitations, and Evan Plant aganet's mother went to call on dear Ella, and tell her how "Plantaganet regretted the misunderstanding;" but she found a wedding-party assembled in the little parlor, and discovered that Ella had beeu Mrs. Blair for nearly half an hour. She had self-possession enough to present her congratulations, and retire speedily. She was not want ed, and the late belle quite understood what had brought her there. For her part she was happier than she had been in those dajs of adulation and flattery, and would not have exchanged her true and loving husband for all her train of admirers, for all tho hollow world could otter. And yet she was glad to bring Roderick a "fortune as well as a heart, and he knew her too well now not to be o-lad. also, if only for her sake. N. Y. Ledger. J mm And He Was Glad or It. Almost every night of his life for ihe last twenty-three years a Detroiter has been aroused from hia. slumbers by a poke in the ribs and a voice whispering: "John! John! do you hear that?" On such occasions the conversation has always run in one channel, and about as follows: " Wha.zer want?" Don't you hear that noise?' " No." " Listen! I tell you some one is rais ing a window!" " Oh! bosh!" "For Heaven's sake, John, get up or we'll be murdered in our beds! I hear some one moving around in the dining room!" " Let 'em move!" "There it is again! If vou don't get up I will, for I'm all in a chill!" There was no peace until John gotup and stumbled around the house with a rusty old revolver in his grip. He never expected it was anything more than the wind or the -frost or the cat, but almost every night brought a repetition. The other night ushered in an entire change of programme. Just before midnight the wife elbowed his spine anil whispered: "Mercy on me! but I feel a draught of cold air!" "Nonsense!" growled the sleepy hus band. "And I hear some one walking around!" "It's the cat!" ' Get out of bed this minute, or I'll yell murder and arouse the neighbor hood'" John obeyed. He felt the cold air on his legs as he tramped thro.igh the up per hall, and when he wa3 half way down stairs a dark figure skipped out ol the open front door. When he reached the threshold he saw a man running across the street, and he called out: " Hello! there hold on!" The man halted. "Come back here, you burglar! Come back and I'll giro you the run of the house! I've been waiting for and ex pecting you for over twenty years, and now I don't want to be shook in this manner!" You go to South America!" shouted the man. "Well, ril leave the door open for you, and you can enter and burglar around for "a whole hour if you want to and I won't lift a finger. I'm glad" you got in powerful glad, and sorry I drove vou out before you had loaded up!" He left the door open and walked up stairs and jumped into bed, but his wife threw up a window and whistled for the police and raised such a racket that the neighbors were aroused. It was found that the robber had opened the front door with a false key. but had been driven away before he had time to se cure any plunder. " I've just got tired of poking around for burglars when there are no burg lars." exclaimed the man as he waved the crowd out of the hall, " and if this chap had only stopped long enough to fire at me a couple of times hanged if I wouldn't have bought him a new over coat!" Detroit Free Press. An Anecdote of Sir Garnet Wolseley. Sir Garnet Wolseley will be pleased to learn from the French journals that while he was in Paris the other day on his way home from Eirypt he had a touching interview with a Frenchman who saved his life in Zululand. This man, Pierre Lettrez by name, had en listed as a volunteer in the English army on the Cape, and Sir Garnet, nav ing heard him very favorably spoken of by" the officers of his regiment, made him his orderly. At Udangtic he killed a Zulu soldier who was just about to throw his assegai at Sir Garnet, who, failing to induce him to come to En gland, lent him 1,000, with which he set up a small shop in Paris and pros pered exceedingly. When Sir Garnet passed through Paris, Lettrez called at his hotel and paid him back, with in terest, the money lent Sir Garnet was compelled to accept repayment, so earnestly did Lottrez plead, and could not even induce him to accept an invi tation to dinner. N. Y. Sun. There is a sermon for thinking peo ple in the report that a Montreal clergy man, in seeking to discover why his church had not been swept and dusted, learned that the woman whose work it was had died of starvation. A scientific writer asserts that the long current belief that the concentrit rings of a tree are a record of its age, each ring representing a year s groinh. is a mistake. A series of experimaMB have shown its falsity. .s- ' 9. Jl uiae o- o i sav '(nti 'ChaBre9 In Xu lis. r. . II t . . o ii H-S3P ZSli JCiJCJ-J-3 A $ T.O r.

A piece of white linen was a good thing, but a piece of linen and a chunk of gold, and the first sleeve buttons were coined of that precious metal, combining as they did utility and beauty, comfort and elegahce. at once found their way into permanent popular notice.

The nercale cuff, likewise once hisrh in the . estimation of the wealthy and the :vsthetic. has gone into atleast a tem porary oblivion, although wholesale jobbers say they find ready sales 'or both the percale and celluloid cuffs in the extreme South and West. The cuff which laps over and buttons at one end is now considered barbarous. The ultra fashionable kind is the cuff which is bound top-ether by a link button. It should be attached to the shirt sleeve I by two delicate slips, extensions from that part of the cull which a sailor wouldcall "amidships." One nasou why the percale culls went out of fash- ion was because thev cost more than a I good linen article, and were not nearly! ? .1 : ,n.,t ,.

Six years ago cuffs were made in two or three pieces, and one st le. in par ticular, was about nine inches long, and then doubled over to within a half-inch of the-starttng-' oint. AH of the cuffs of to-day are what is known as four-ply that is, they are made of four thick nesses of lineiii. with the interlinings of cotton. All-lined cu s are but little worn.

In Ne York and Boston the round orners are fashionable, in Phi-adelphia the s nare corners are all the go, and in Washington an I 1 altimore one sees nothing but the chopped cu '9. In this city men like a big cuff, as big as they can get it. In Now Orleans the bon-ton wear diminutive wrist-ba'ids, and out in the boundless West they wear anything that happens to be handy, from a dish-rag to a pair of nippers. The latter is the all-prevailing style in some places in Colorado and New Aiexico. Then, again, there are what :.re known as sin The former are now never by fashionable people.

One night he advertised to shoot apples from twelve young ladies' heads in succession, and only take one look at the crowd. Pipers Opera House 1 was packed with men at one dollar a head, and when the curtain rose twelve along the wings, each with an apple on her head. Pa stepped to the foot-lights and bowed amid tremendous applause. He hail a six-shooter ia cacli hand, and the stage manager announced that ho would shoot the last six apples with his left hand. Casting his eye along the line, he took a long breath, a steady position, and then faced the audience.

The same remark is equal ly applicable to many animals beside b'ears. Its explanation is not difficult. I One of our most acute observers, an I eminent authority in science, explains 1 how so m nv "strange customs and su perstitions, in complete opposition to the true welfare and happiness of man kind, have become all-powerful throughout the world" by the fact that "a belief constantly inculcated during the early yeais of "life, while the braiti is impressible, appears to acquire al- 3tme nu b 01 a mSuu. mu essence of which is that it is followed independently of reason, The young child is as wax in tha hands of the mother.

Many a boy 01 modicum ability has in him the ele ments that, if" right. 3' developed and the superfluous material chiseled away, might make of h m a perfect model of noble manhood. Here is the knot of the problem to pre-erve the ideal lines and to remove everything that hides them. This is the mothers ta-k to fill her house with living stat es, or . with statuettes, perfect in o.-.tline and svmmetrv. The material that is in her ,- , - . , . ..ir... t. hand may not be of quality or in quan tity to make colossal statues, but if she succeeds in making it into good models, in making of-it the best that cau b; made, her duty is well done. It must not le forgotten that the mother trains her child as much by what .-die, is as by what she does'. She is the atmosphere of her child. She is like the va: "laboratory of the air. which, seeming to be nothing or legs than the shadow ol a shade, hides within itse f the pr.nci ples of all things."

Tochange the figure. some children go through as many men tal and moral meiamorphoses before reaching the mature state as the frog does, and in some stages of their de velopment almost drive their parents to despair. Others excite the liveliest hones of ultimate noble maturity, to bitterly disappoint them. The child must develop according to the idiosyn cracies of its be-ng, according to the law of its own organization; but. this being true, it is possible for the mother who begins in season to so impress cer tain fun 'ameutal truths and right prin ciples on the brain and heart of her 1 child that he can never outgrow or es I cape their influence, and these princi ' pies shall constantly antagonie tenden cies in him to evil and strengthen ten dcuc es to good, s that his whole being during its entire existence shall respond 111 every stage ot us ueveiopmeut toner maternal touch.

All of them ara within or close to the galaxy of which the solar system forms a part. The streak of light in the heavens whi- h we call the Milky Way appears as it does only because the galactic region is a circular disk, the diameter 01 which is eight or ten times its thickness. The sun with the earth is near the center of this disk, so that when we look toward the circumference of it we see the stars crowded together, while, when we look toward the flat side of it, they are com paratively few and scattered. The Milky Way is what we see when our eyes turn toward the circumference. If the earth were a transparent ball, a man at its center would see the galaxy, with the Milky Way as a belt running com pletely around it. The star Groom bridge 1830 is not only on its'way paat all these visible stars, but it will go be yond them, and pass among and through the region of nebula by which the disk is surrounded, for the nebula in all probability are but collections of glowing gas the substance of which, according to a generally received theo ry, suns and worlds are made. No other star is known to astrono mers which has a proper motion so great as that which is bearing Groombrldge 1330 on its way through infinite space and which Js not less than two hundred miles per second, nor does science give any ac count of what produced it. As has already been said, an application of Newton's tirst law of motion shows that upon it the attraction of tha whole uni verse of stars is absolutely "no force" to it. The star a ts as if' it had ones been set in motion to go on at a uni form rate of elocity forever, either nloue in space or from some other dis tant "universe" of which nothing is and nothiugcer can be known, t- wards some other universe compared with which our own is not even as a cloud of dust. In s ch a matter of this an orig inal i;f,e!iix is out of the question. La the starry heavens masses J'aU they are not driven as the moon constantly lulls towards the earth, so the planeta constantly fall towards the sun. in other word-, gravitation acts through outthi' universe whereverthere mat ter it Is subject to this law. and there fore ii is evident- that th s great star, whet ever it came from and wherever it is going to, is doing its work in obedi ence to the law of attraction. A recent speculation may give an indication of what the giant star h on its way to ac complish, and tlfs work is "nothing more nor less than tho redistribution of the matter of some other universe than ours, which redistribution may have a serious effect upon the universe of which we are purt and parcel. The effect will be remote enough in time. and. yet it is not I y any means iuipossb Io that it may be felt long before the limit of years has elapsed which Prof. Newcomb ha1 assigned to the star for its disappear ance from telescopic vision. Action and reaction are equal and in opposite directions. If Grootnbridge 1830 be moving towards some other great mass, the other is moving towards it. possibly with equal and possibly with greater velocity, and if the whole mass of the he.ien of stars in our galaxy cannot ar rest the j.atk of the one it can hardly have any effect upon the other. In. other words, our little universe need not be considered at all as a factor in tha problem. The speculation which has just been spoken of is founded on the Nebula Theory, which i; grounded solely in physics. A result ot the theory is well known to be that suns will clash with suns, the heat resulting from the impact being .-uuicient tj disper-e the matter of which they consist through a space nearly but not quite equal to that which it occupied when the suns beganto 'orm. The process of condensation wi:l then begin auewand gradually form a body equal in mass to the sum of tha suras which took part in the collision. The volume, of course, will be larger than any of the individual suns. Col lision after collision and subsequent con densat on after condensation will take place until, at a remote distance, two enormous bodies a'one will remain, which will then begin to gravitate towards each other with constantly accelerating velocity until they meet and sufficient heat res Its to make of the whole universe a nebula such a3 tt is 311 po cd to have been at first. And so, for one long swing of the pendulum of eternity, actum est de homine. The star Groombridge 18 0. a runaway, a stranger to this poor universe of ours, is supposed to be in relation to some other star, one of two such great masses built 1 p of the wrecks of the systems which once were a "universe" on its way to meet another of like proportions. And then the clash ! If the tremendous cataclysm take place near our system of stars it will certainly be involved in the ruin, and if remote, then such a nebula will blaze up in the heavens that we shall not have any need. of sun. or moon, or stars forever.
