POLLY’S ADVENTURE The last cow had gone into the barnyard, and Dolly Black, after helping to put up the bars, returned to the bouse, kicking up the dust with her bare feet. On the way she pulled off a branch of the evening primrose, whose long, bcai-like buds were splitting and letting the yeilqw petals aud their fragrance escape. "They do smell so sweet,” she said to herself, “and they’re just the color of that sky,” looking towards the west, where the sun was disappearing, leaving a golden tinge over everytliing. A sharp voice suddenly broke in on her reverie. . “Dolly, Dolly,” called someone, who seemed to be coming towards her, “where air you? OK!” in a quicker tone, as a thin woman appeared behind a screen door of the kitchen. “I want you to go right down to Mrs. Tanners’ before It gits dark, daughter,” she continued, “and boiTer some 1 sugar. We’ll git some to-merrer and pay her back, tell her. Here’s a pail, ' and you’ll meet Bill somewheres by the Tanners’ so you can come back with him, though it won’t be dark for ' some time.” Dolly turned promptly, quite willing to go for a walk in the coolness of the evening, and started down the road, swinging the tin pail vigorously; It was a pleasant way to the Tanners'. Their land reached almost to Mr. ’ Black’s house, but the Tanners’ farm • buildings were fully a quarter of a ' mile away from the Black homestead. The road was merely a wagon-track, and soon' after leaving the Black’s it 1 made a sharp curve around a high ' spur of rdek, and was then eked out by a “corduroy” strip through a 1 marsh, where tall, slender trees made J perpetual gloom. At the left a creek flowed close by 1 the edge of the road. Near Dclly’s ■ home it spread into a deep pool, reached by a little path, and then narrowed into a rushing waterfall. A J deep reach, like a section of a canal, ‘ succeeded this, and finally the water, colored brown from the hemlock roots that it had laved, swept over a ’ broad, natural dam of boulders, big ! and little, which spring freshets had 1 deposited there. At this point it pen- ■ ned in the road between itself and the ' jutting cliff mentioned above. As the girl passed down the dusty road she stopped swinging her pail ’ and glanced somewhat apprehensively ’ into the large pasture on her right; ' then she gave a sigh of relief. “The bars are down,” she thought, ! and the Tanners’ bull is at.home. I'in ■ glad of it, toe, for he just walks along inside of the fence, and shakes his head, and scares me every time I go along, and if tie could only_catch meUgh! He’s awful fierce, Bill says, and hates girls!” - A little beyond was the curve and as Dolly was about t.o go around it a low “1 believe he's loose!” she gasped, as she looked over her shoulder. There, with his back towards the clump of cedars, in which he had been hidden, "stood a fierce bull, his head lowered, with horns pointed well forward. ' He was a Holstein, and the white and black on his sides looked so like a blanket, that Dolly gave a hysterical laugh even as she lied around the projecting cliff. “I'll just have to scoot." she panted, as she ran, “at any rate —I—canswim,” an idea of jumping into the creek, if hard pressed, forming in her mind. She had barely turned the corner of ths rock, however, when she stopped so suddenly that the impetus of i her spurt expended itself in an up- , ward leap. All her blood seemed to i desert - her veins, and her heart stop- i ped beating for a second. Just in front of her, its brown blotched body forming lines of .beauty from rut to rut. lay a copperhead snake. The triangular head lay quiet, but the eyes • glinted cruelly at the frightened Dolly. ' . , Here was a dilemma The bull, for some reason, had not come around the corner, but lie was growling in an extremely ugly fashion. It was not safe to go back. A smooth wall of 1 rock extended far beyond the snake ( on the right, and the rushed by ' on the left. Dolly thought rapidly. 1 “The two things I’m most afraid s of,” she groaned. “That, bull nearly 1 crushed the life out of Bub Tanners, ‘ and that snake —or one like it—bit ■ Johnny Collier and he died—-and Fin 1 barefoot Oh, I wish he'd move out > of the way!” 1 A louder roar from the bull sudden-.J ly scared her again. She glanced at < the rock beside her. oNe use trying to scale that. She. arid her brother Bill had attempted it often and failed. Driven nearly frantic with fear by a closer and more, menacing roar from the bull, which could just see her pink gown, she looked anxiously into the swamp, where the dusk was set tling down among the trees: sire hoped to see her brother. At that moment the - copperhead gave a Fong shlver-apd its ugly head swung around towards the girl, Its mouth yawning open, showing the white fangs. This was too much Panic-strloiron Dolly flung down her tin paif with a clang that started a fierce roar from the bull, and rubbed down the #,hort embankment on the slippery, watercovered boulders r. 1- the dam. One of them turned and throw her headlong. Still blind with fear and fancying that one or the other, perhaps both, of her enemies were following her. she picked herself up, only to stumble again and plunge into the deep water of the mfer ■; Hardly knowing what she did, she struck out when rhe two to the surface and swum f r nliraPv ahead. .There :«£ r.

A Li>|,l patrolled the road on one side am thick uiwlerbrunh and swamp and probably more makes were on the other. A twig caught her clothing, for unately thin, and she shrieked aloud as she tore herself free. The bull caught a glimpse of Dolly’s herd and rushed forward, adding to her fright. She flung herself through th« water until her bare knees struck a rock, it was at the bottom of the waterfall. and she climbed around It, and, still not daring to go back to the roul. swam across the next pool to the little footpath and staggered along to the house. Though eomewhat calmed by her tiieeoine swim, Dolly was crying bitterly as she opened the screen door. H> r mother came out hastily from an inner room, followed by Mr. Black. ‘You're back quick!” she exclaimed. "Why, mercy on us child, get off my clean floor onto the oilcloth. Whore have you bwn. You’re drippin,’!” Dolly had liar«kfinishe<l her forlorn tale when whistling into the dangled helplessly from of a long stick - something that caused Dolly to run shrieking into the back room. Billy lowered his stick in surprise, and a Viry limp snake, its flat head and Blonder neck gleaming like copper in the lamp-light, fell in a brown heap on the floor. . “Where’d you git that?" demanded his father. “Down the road by the cliff. I killed it with one goed blow across the back about 5 o’clock, and left it there till I came back. It’s kinder pretty," smoothing the spotted back of the reptile. liolly's head appeared around the edge of the door. “Didn’t you see the bull ’’ she queried. “Oh. yes," he answered, dfeerfully. "Bub Tanners and I chained him out on the road bank. Lota of good grass . there and the pasture’s all dried “Oh!”—Helen Ingersoll in Phnadelptiia Times. WliiM in ja I h»n*s Den. In the Hungarian menageries :> favorite sensation scene is for four whist players to sit down and play a rubber in the lion’s den, while a fifth stands by to see fair play —on the part of the lions. 1 thought I had played whist under all possible circumstances, and in company with the very strangest specimens of created beings, but this experience is beyond me. Some people are made nervous by folks looking over their hand, which (unless they are my adversaries) does not affect me at all. but 1 don’t think I should like this from a lion; the greater the attention he paid me the less pleased I should feel by the compliment. I am sure if it were evoked by a mistake of my opponent’s—if he roared. Hungarian players do not seem to mind these things. The other day. however. It appears this .very interesting performance was given once too often. The lions, with delicata forbearance, abstained, it is true, from Interfering with the players, but they went for the fifth' man, wii nn they 'doubtless considered superfluous, and biade.yery.short work of him. In spite of the-selfishness that, is, often, though most unjustly, attributed to card players, the rubber broke uniat once. — James Payn in the Illustrated News. How to Han? T h-tu-us. An artist, being asked, for a. simple rule, fcr hanging pietdres, ga.ve the following directions: The height, size, and decoration of the room should be taken into account, but it is best, where only one row of pictures is hung _tQ„have the central point in each on a' level vvlfiT T son. For instance, in a vignette por- j trait the central point is the chin. You can make no mistake about the point in any picture, fur the eye involuntary ' rests upon it at the first glance. That renjinds me to speak cf a frequent error on the part of framers who lack artistic knowledge. This central point should be at the exact intersection of two diagonal lines drawn from the corners of the frame, not the mat. Many. pictures appear to those who know this rule as if they were slipping out of their frames. Elect. ici' < oihlik-' i »it y of W ater. Observations of conductivity cf water have been rendered exceptionally difficult by reason of the impossibility* of freeing the water from the last traces of dissolved impurity.

It is stated that Captain Mahan, when relieved of the,command of the Chicago, upon her return to the United States, will be Ordered to duty at the Navy Department, to write a history of the civil war from a naval standpoint. Captain Mahan is just the man to write a history of the United States Navy during the rebellion. Many histories of our civil war have been written, but the 'great part taken by the navy in that struggle has never been properly recorded. In Captain Mahan the theme will have a historian entirely equal to it. s ~ A Diet of Blond.

Civilization is making rapid stridesin Soutfi Africa but the Bashhlan yet makes his own knife, and with considerable ingenuity. They dig a little Iron, find a broken hatchet, or a hoop from a runa barrel, and out of these parts they form even axes, adzes, hammers, and about everything they need in that line. These impliments are. of course, very crude, but the native has much patience, and will not forgo his bottle of rum for the qpst of the imported tool. —r~ — Biiintl t<» Vi ih.

The mention of the bicycle for worn. i en opens a field of mild controversy which is only important because some of the objectic :Ist to i- s use at. taken from the hygi'-nic standpoint as well as from" the 'social. Many- objectors contend that: the wheel is as undesirable for women as the se.wing machine while majority of. parents seriously object to”what they feel to be the un- . pleasd.nt publicity cf the exercise. As a matter of health, which is of the first importance, the writer has made mafiy inquiries among women who use -the wheel regarding the effects of the exercise upon, them, and has failed to discover a single"case pf injury or poor health resulting from its use. On the noiitrary, the testimony to its exhiL arating and healthful effect is universal. SeveraT other American physi-.. cians. qualified to speak from experience in their practice among women, have warmly con mended its use. From the standpoint of a symmetrical exercise, the position is preferable to that of a horse. The movement is unlike' that of the sewing machine in several important respects: Instead of being bowed over in a cramped position which restricts the action of lungs, digestive and pelvic' organs, alike, the woman ride.’- sits erect, with toil opfor chest expansion, while the difference between the, environment Os the sewing woman 'and The •riding woman ns regards .indoor and , out-of-door* life is most important.— Dr. Mary T.
