CHAPTER XXI. Ada re is silent. This sweet call to him bat emtitters the desolation of his soul. Oh ! lovely hypocrite ! And what has he to say to her? 'How can he speak, knowing his heart is broken? His silence touches at once the nerves that are already so unstrung. "Hilary! Why don't you speak? Are you angry with me? I could not help it. I did not mean " Her thoughts fly to the upper chamber, where the everlasting stars looked down upon her, and where beneath their light she bad said MNV to Everard's proposal of marriage. Is it that? Should she. not have gone there? Iut they all saw her go, and said aothing! How has she offended him? The pretty color dies away from her halfparted lips. I know I have no right to dictate to you what you should or should not do. And as for being angry, why should I be angry? We are all free t do as we will. If you think my manner severe, it is merely that I would suggest to you, as being one of my family, that at such au hour as this, you " He stops. "Should not be here," inicrupi. sh'; eagerly. "Yes, I know now. lijt they were all here a moment ago." A moment ! Your moments s-fin to have flown on wings," sail with; that cruel smile, "in the room ap there with Everard." "Hilary: Oh! it is impossibfe !" n a low, but intensely vivid voice. "You must know how it was." "You are right I do I" "You are mad I" cries the girl with a j little indignant gesture. "You don't understand. You lelt me, to go down to Sir Lucien you remember?" "Certainly. It gave a splendid opportunity." A pause. "I never thought of ycr twfire, as sontemptible," says she. Her voice now Is quite changed. All the sweetness, the love, the dearness of it, se.'tns dead, killed! "But I have often beard t is difficult to know anyone, lieüeve me or not, as you will, however, I rent up tiere to see the stars with Mr. Evjrard; they could be seen more clearly there, an 1 ' "Why give .yourself so much trouble? Why not let this very amusing game you have played with him and me com-? to an end now so far as I am concerned, at til events?" Grief and wra:h have rendered him quite incapable f tithoming the wretched things he is saying. Amber's eyes, resting on ois, grow larger, brighter, but her face is the color of death. "I don't think you know what yen are saying," says she coldly. "Ah ! Don't let it degenerate into a farce !" "You mean our engagement," says she presently, having gathered up her courage with a wonderful strength. "Thre was none, however. That at least yu trust remember. And I am glad of it now ! I am thankful that there is no real bond between me and you." Th- sw?-)t, deep eyes, so angry, so troubled In their depths, are still fastened upon his. Scoru lies in their depths. "This is a convenient occasion for you to get rid of me,"' says A da re talmly. "When a woman trifles with two men, it is well for her to have just cause for getting ri'2, at the last, of the one who is the !e--on your rid of have doubt ., "I slowly.' "I then I'm frightfj 'rabie. I congratulate you You have not only got . any scandal, but you erard. who is beyond man of the two." ere a man !" says she ,u were !" cries he, "for you " There is such jion in his tone that in vol untary the draws back. "Amber ! What a nacie "or you for you ! His desperate g-ief makes him brutal. "Why did your father give you such a name as that?" "Why saou'd he not?" She lifts her small, beautiful head and smiles at him defiantly. "It was, however, my mother's suggestion; but afterwards my father said it quite suited tne. Because" her defiance now is of the very highest order "he said I looked so clear!" "Clear! You! And to deceive me so! To go up there to-night," pointing to the tiny staircase that leads to the topmost room of the tover, "with Everard!" "I don't understand about Mr. Everard! You and yours have received him as a friend, I think, during my stay here. Yet now you talk of him, as if . . . But" with a scornful gesture "I care very little for Mr. Everard. As to my mother's naming'me Amber, she thought of my complexion then, I think, not of my heart! You see," seoffingly, "it was almost transparent when I was born ! As for what it is now or my heart either " She shrugs her shoulders. A very agony of rage has caught and overwhelmed her, let all the good of life go by for the sake of a moment's, revenge upon this one human bei-:g whom, of all the world, she has learned to love. Her air, her attitude, enrages him. "How dare you speak to me like that?" rries he, catching her suddenly by both boulders, and holding her as if in a vice. "Let me go!" Her voice rings clear, if low, and without a touch of fear in it. She swings herself sharply out of hi3 grasp, and at once walks towards the staircase beyond. It is done ve, quickly, but she has hardly reached the middle part of th? gallery when he is beside her. Ills face Is still dark with anger und distrtst, Dot he Las followed her. "Amber I DonT'go! Was I, or was I not, mad to speak to you like1 that? But if you will speak will explain " "I shall not explain." Her face is as white as death. You refuse me one word." He has fallen on his knees before her. What is anything to all the world contain save this one 'little slender girl ! Ieliberately he loosens his fingers from her gown. "Even one," she says. Ite regains his feet slowly, very slowly; so slowly, indeed, that it gives Sir I ucien, who is coming up the galtery at this late hour, sufficient time to see him on his knees before her. "Hah!M cries he, hurrying up and peaking before reaching them. His voice, harsh and resonant, rings along the pallery. "So I have found you out at last! Holary ! are you dead to all your interests? Marry that girl!" pointing to Amber with a quivering forefinger, thet suggests a venomous an? a lifelong hatred "and not one penny of nine shall ever' be yours. As for you !"- he turns 'to Amber a face black with passion "I regret I ever let my niece invite you here." "To-morrow I leave your house,' she rnys. She takes a step towards him, and Sir Lucien, as if cowed by the grandeur of her air, steps bi."; a little. There is, indeed, something splendid in the corn of her young face. "And before going I beg you to understand that I have no desire whatever to marry Cap tain Adare. He is indeed the last man la the worM I should care to marry I" Sbe turns, and, flinging up her head with a superb gesture, without another word, another glance, goes swiftly, yet without undue haste, to the staircase that leads out of the gallery. Adare. his ery soul on fire, turns to go after her ix Lucien catches his arm. "Staji! 1 command you!" cries he.

"Let that impertinent girl go. If you disobey me now, I shall disinherit you, and a title without money. Give her up, boy, give her up, I say !" "Never, sir!" cries Hilary, flinging aside the hand that again has been laid upon his arm. "Do you think your money Do you think all the money the world contains could be as good in my eyes as she is?" He almost pushes Sir Lucien aside and dashes down the staircase th? staircase that has swallowed up Amber. But he is too late to overtake her. He is only in time, indeed, to hear the click of the key in her bedroom door. He turns away. Well ! There is still to-morrow ! He will see her to-morrow !

CHAPTER XXII. But the morning proves him wrong. Amber is no longer within the walls of Carrig. When she had gone, or how. no cue knows. And to all his grief and self-denunciation is added the knowledge that she must have walked all the way from Carrig cither to Madam's, where she was expected, or to the old Mill House. In what cruel haste she had been to knock their dust from off her feet !, How Hilary spends the hours after h.s first certain knowledge of Amber's go ng from Carrig he himself never knows to the end of all. But when this short and dying day is drifting into a long and chilly night, he suddenly goes into the yard and orders a trap to be got ready for him. Coming to that part of the road that leads up to the boreen, where Amber's little sick boy dwells, he springs to the ground and leads the horse up the lane, and thre gives the poor, woman, who remembers him with the most devout gratitude, his horse and trap in charge. Was he med last eight when he hurled hi3 miserable insults on her? Surely he was mad ! What did it all come to after all? A few moments spent alone with Everard! ne had thought her wrong there; but he was it not he who had been hideously in the wrong? lie who bad accused her of falsity falsity to him to the man she had said she loved ! Certainly she had gone to see the stars with Everard, but that was only a smail fault, magnified by him, not a crime. As he nears the mill, a little spark from the lowest depth around it caicues his eye. He blinks stares again. Yet surely there is a light, and in that dismal cellar where he and Amber had buried her rings, that night ! His hart begins to beat! She has not gone to Madam', then ! Poor darling ! ire had been nothing but a grief to her from ajraost their first acquaintance. But a light here? Could she be the one who had lit it? And why come rhere, into the very bowels of the earth as it were, at this dark hour? An unworthy thought dismissed instantly with a touch of self-horror that she is there to regain those rings, sends him flying down the slope that leads 10 the old mill. More likely far mort likely she has come here thinking of it as the last place in the old mill that she had visited with him. If there seems to be canccit or vanity of any sort in this thought of his. it must be combated by the fact that he judges her cs he judges himself. Has he not come here to-night to look his last on scenes made sacred to him by her? And if she is hre? .If he should bo so wildly fortunate as to find her here in that melancholy vault b-m in bis very body he can prostrate himself before her. Can lay his apologies at btr feet. Can own to her his grief his hatred of himself, and Heaven is good as well as just ! gain her forgiveness. He covers the ground between him and the old mill in an extraordinarily swift time, and, gaining the dipalidatcd ioerway, steps quickly in, and to that hole in the broken flooring that loads to the cellar beneath. Very softly he sieps. He must not take her off her guard. To startle her by a sudden desceut would be a cowardly thing taking her by Ftorm, as it were. And yet to seem 10 spv upon her! , He shrinks from the thought, nnd finally desides on looking through the hol: in the floor from which the old ladder is hanging, and seeing her, call to her ; telling her he is here has come oh ! too poor! too poor! Telling her rnt'ier t.rt he is here, her slave her lover for !ife, even though she should elect to despise and reject him! He bends down his eyes traverse the vault. A sharp exclamation almost escapes him. Almost not quit?. Down here in this dismal cellar Deane is r.uoeling beside a wide opening in the earthen floor. This opening is close to the wall. and on the wall just above it is painted that small black arrow, of wiiih Aniter and be bad taken such notice. On the side of this opening lies an old and very large jewel case very old, and no.v very grimy its lid lifted. Hilary gazing, too astonished to move, can see ia the faint light of the lantern Deane has laid beside it, great rays of light flashing. The missing jewels at last ! How near th? discovery of them he and Amber had been when they buried those rings; only an inch or two this way and . . . Lightly he drops to the ground. So lightly indeed that the other man, engrossed with his spoil, hears nothing of his coining, until he is almost at his elbow. With a frantic yell, as of a wild beast torn from its prey, Deane springs to his feet, and having faced Adare for the fraction of a second, flings himself upon him. The latter grasps him in turn. Disgust and rage are giving fresh strength to thews and sinews, that require little assistance from any source. And for a few minutes the two men sway and wrestle and are locked in a deadly embrace that means death for one or the other! Nostrils dilated, lips parted; a sway to the righi. victory for one ; a sway to the left victory to the other! How will it end? Now a slight chance in this wild wrestling match a loosening of the arms of Hilary gives Deane a chance.' He flings Hilary from' him, and with light ning speed draws a revolver from his breast! With a low growl of joy he levels It. A second! a second onlv. But there is life in a second even for a man condemn ed. And it is a girl the girl he loves who gives life to Hilary! A small hand, brown, but shapely, flings up the fatal re volver, that would have sent him to a land very far away from ours, t.nd a bul let crashes into the rotten rafters above their heads. The rtvolver has. taken a voyage very nearly as high. It comes down now in a distant corner, and providentally dves not go off. Amber, with a little spring, ges to it and picks it up "Go home, Brian," says the girl very gently, and in a very low voice. Her fingers tighten over the revolver, how ev-r. She is calm, but looks a little broken. Adare moves to her side. "Those stones, those ornaments, says he, pointing to them, "belong, as of course you know, to Sir Lucien Adare. In his name I take possession of them? As for you" he looks straight at Deane with scorn and undisguised contempt "I givs you just twenty-four hours to get out of the country.

"1 shan't give you half that time to live," says Deane. His glance is demoniacal; he rushes to the ladder and swing himself out of sight. Amber trrns to Hilary with an almost franri: geture. "Go." cries vhe. "Go quickly! lie has gone to the house, and can be back in a quarter of an hour. He ha? another revolver." "Give me that one," says Hilary. "Take it. but," vehemently, "go!" "Well, come !" says he. She stares at him, her face growing, if possible, whiter. She shakes her head. "Never mind me. Hut you go, and at once." "And leave you here?" he laughs shortly. "I am safe enough, believe me. Quite" with a curiously strained smile, that in spite of all her efforts to suppress it, betrays the actual fear she is enduring, no: only for him but for herself "quite safe." "In the hf .ds of that brute! Don't let us waste !ime. Amber. No, not another word, i'ou come with me or I don't gc. Come!" . "But where?" shrinking backwards. "To Carrig. of course." "Oh ! impossible. I will not ! To meet Sir Lucien again!" She flings up her head with a touch of the deepest pride and resentment. "Last night he ull but ordered me out of his house." "Why think of him? Is he worth one of your thoughts? Besides, you need not see him. Dolly. May will receive you with open arms. And to-morrow you can go to Madam's if you will." lie is speaiing sharply, hurriedly, in disjointed sentences. Tbre is so little time, and to be caught Ike rats in a trap! Still she hesitates. "Look," cries he passionately, "I know I have forfeited the right even to speak to you, but I implore you to listen to me now." (To be continued.)

MILK AS FOOD. It Nutritive Value as Compard with Ettgs and Beef. "It Is often said of food chemists that they are pessimistic persons, always telling us -what we shouldn't eat." said Dr. Henry C. Sherman of Columbia University in his talk oa "Nutritive Requirements and Milk as Food," at Teachers College yesterday afternoon. "People say they would bo more comfortable to have around if they would tell us what we ought to eat. Well, If I may speak for food chemists, I'm sure they would tell us to use milk. The more liberally milk is used In the diet the better." Then Dr. Sherman showed a table giving ihe comparative nutritive values of milk and other foods, says the NewYork Tribune. One quart of milk, according to this table, equals in food value one and one-fourth pounds of lean beef, one iound of eggs (eight fairsized eggs), three pounds of oysters or three pounds of blueflsh or of dressed cod. Most of Dr. Sherman's lecture was devoted to milk as "food for babies." "The only really normal food for infants Is human nlk." he said, "and an effort should be made to feed the baby with mother's milk, and, within reasonable limits, for as long a period as possible. Even with the progress we have made In modification it is impossible to duplicate the human mother's milk for the human child." Then Dr. Sherman told how best to modify milk for the child who must be artificially fed. "Mare's milk most nearly approaches human milk," he said, "but as that is not likely to be on the market It Is safest to begin with cow's milk so mod ified as to contain, like human milk, :t very small amount of protein. But If one dilutes milk to the point where the roteln Is reduced to a sufficiently small prorortion there will not be enough of the fat. The more fat there is the nWe it Is like human milk and the lighter and more digestible will be the curd formed In the stomach. The best iitiflcial food for the Infant Is the top of the bottle of milk, diluted with soiae cereal gruel or lime water, and with some of the sugar of milk added. Bui the addition of the cereal should be looked on simply as a means of modifying the milk, not as a means of nourishing the child. The milk contains every c lenient the child needs, for the first year, at least. Dr. Sherman advised parents to feed their children on milk as largely ns posfcib'e, the older children as well ns the babies. The notion that meat juices and other foods are necessary tc supply the child with protelds Is a mistaken one," ho observed. "Cow's milk Is so much richer than human milk In protein that the baby fed on covr's milk. will not suffer Tor that. Iron Is the thing the child needs to be supplied with. Every baby Is born with a large store of Iron in Its little body, but In time that is used up. As the baby grows older the necessary Iron may be sup plied by giving It frult-i-tbe juice and puli and the yolk of an egg, with bread crumbs. As the child grows old er It should have plenty of vegetables also for the Iron In them." A WHALE'S MOUTH. The Grove of Twelve Foot Qullla that Fills the Cavern. The rules for eating accredited to Gladstone jm ! Fletcher, which required thlrty-trw, more or less, chews to each mouthful, were never meant for the true whale. It has no teeth, and It swallows Its food vnvle, catching It In the bajeen, or strips of "whalebone," which 'depend from the sides of Its mouth. If a whale saw, the whaleIkhios that womankind are accustomed to using In tlielr waists he would never rewgiilze them as part-of his alimentary sj-stem, they are so small. In the form In which they would be familiar to him they would be ten or twelve feet long and look like giant brushes, with a handle ten Inches wide at the end. One might svonder how any animal could close Its mouth with a grove of twelve foot quills sticking out of the roof. 'When the mouth closes the slabs of baleen lie flat In grooves. When the mouth oiens the slabs spring forward, completely filling the cavern. One whale may have" as many as 700 In its mouth. Sometimes the weight of this giant mouth fringe is a ton. and the contents of the mouth of one whale taken In Bering sea on Oct. 20, 1&S3, weighed S.100 pounds, or .a ton and a half.

Woman a Failure In Dusine. "Woman has failed to 'make good' as a leader and thiuker iL" the professions and in bjsiness. While many succeed in earning a very comfortable living for themselves, few rise to the top In ai.y of the many lines of activity which they have invaded In recent years. Very few are anion; physicians or lawyers of note. Few rise to be executive heads of colieyes. editors, or directors of big business enterprises. They have' had control of fortunes; they have had sway in kitcheus; they have always taught ; they have always acted ; yet men are the great financiers, cooks, teachers, managers of theaters. In no profession are they equal to any of the leading men who stand at the head of various occupations and whose tames are familiar to the public." This Is the sweeping arraignment brought against woman in business and professional life by one of her own class. Mary O'Connor Newell, in Appleton's Magazine. She quotes with approval the statement of a wellknown man that there are three kinds of women In business the kind that marry, the discontented kind, and the desexed kind and that only the latter are successful. The confession is made that even the women who seem to be most successful in professional occupations usually regard themselves as failures, whether they will admit it or not. By the time they have reached the point where they are able to accomplish Important results they feel keenly the lack of family ties and home surroundings, and the more womanly they are the more strongly does this lack make Itself felt This Is the explanation given of why so many young business women for whom brilliant careers are predicted abandon their chosen occupation for marriage. Value of Good Dljreatloa. "To look young and keep your beauty you must have a good digestion," says a beauty culturlst. "We feed our patrons uion herbs; we give them greens and we advise them to take acid fruits. When a Gypsy woman gets out of sorts she lives upon dandelion greens; she mixes sweet herbs; she doctors herself with the fruits of the earth and she recovers. "Outdoor life Is everything for the woman who wants to keep young. "Her walk gives away the woman who does not want ieople to know how old she Is. Usually she loses her elasticity. And she takes to high heeis and a stilted walk. Wear conventional clothing and be elastic In your gait; In that way you will look younger. "I advise women generally to join a dancing class. Hy taking the steps one can keep up one's elasticity winter and summer. I have a class of four women who come three times a week to learn the Gypsy fandangoes and the Spanish dances. They find that they breathe better, feel better and are more healthy generally from this exercise." Lace Curtain. Lace curtains must on no account be lroued. In the country they may be stretched on the grass, pinning out every point ; in the town a saeet spread on the carpet will be found more suitable. Dwellers In flats who find It difl cult to dry such large articles, will be glad to knowhat if the curtains are hung up wet at an open window over night they will be dry next morning and hang more gracefully than if dried In the usual way. Take them down next morning, fold lengthwise and pass through the mangle. Feathers may be washed by placing them in linen bags. Dip and squeeze these In soapsuds, rinse In clean water and dry In sieves In an empty room, turning the feathers frequently to preTcnt them sticking together. Dress for Little Girl. White pique or linen Is very desirable for a child's frock, such as Is shown in the sketch, as such fabrics are especially practical for tub frocks. Daby Irish Insertion and edge are used for the trimming, with a narrow Irish beading edge as a finish about thoy neck and oion sleeves. The deSign would also be practical for chanibrays and ginghams or colored linens, trimmed with embroidery. Starchinnr. Have collars and shirts quite damp, as the starch gets into them better, and use the starch while quite hot. Dip and thoroughly squeeze the breast and collar of the sh'rt In the starch and wring out; do the same to the cuffs; clap the starched parts and hang up to get dry; nftenvanls sprinkle with water till damp; roll up for a few hours, then Iron. Km1roIdery or trimming on under linen is sometimes dipped in very thHi starch. It Irons letter and will keep smooth and uucrcased longer If slightly stiffened. A cupful of stiff boiled starch added to every two gallons of the bluing water for under linen gives It a nice smoothness and gloss without stiffening perceptibly. Opposes Woman In Politics. Mrs. W. II. Taft opposes women entering politics. In an interview she said : As the wife of Mr. Taft I would interest myself In anything that vitally affected him or in which he was absorlicd. T do not believe In a woman meV' - in politics or in Asserting herl.l . t ül,- ili)se lines, but I think any woman cuu discuss with her husband

TWO SUMMER SUITS.

topics of national interest, and In many Instances she might give her opinion of questions with which, through study and contact, she has become familiar." "Are you a clubwoman?" "Yes, Just as Mr. Taft Is a clubman. We are both honorary members of several clubs,' but we are seldom at any clubs. It Is not because I do not believe In clubs. I do believe in them, but I have my social and home affairs to attend to and don't particularly feel the need of club life." "Do you believe la a business life for a woman?" "Not if a woman wants to have happiness and fulfill her greatest usefulness la this world. A happy marriage is the most complete and useful life for any woman. To be the mother of sweet, healthy children Is a heritage that is greater than being than being " f'Yes, than being the mistress of the White House," she said. 1 Slipping Shoes. Is there any woman who has not suffered with half shoes and pumps that slip up and down on the heel? In summer the streets seem to be crowded with humanity with painful expressions on their faces, treading as though terra firma were a much more fragile substance than it is. A relief, however, has at last been discovered by some wise person whom necessity transformed into an inventor. Paste a piece of velvet Inside the heel of the shoe, of course, with the side of the nap toward the foot, and this will effectually prevent any sliping or rubbing. It Is very easy to do. costs but a very few cents and any good liquid glue may be used, so that at last an effectual and easy preventive for slipping heels has been found. Renewing: Oilcloth. When oilcloth has been laid for a few months and is beginning to lose Its shiny surface It can be renewed, and made to last twice as long. Melt a little ordinary glue in a pint of water, letting It stand on the top of the oven until It is dissolved. Wash the oilcloth thoroughly and let It dry. Then at night, when no one will walk on It, go over the entire surface carefully with a flannel dipped Into the glue water.! Choose a dry day for doing it, and by morning you will have a fine gloss. . A Girl's Room. A girl's room can be furnished throughout with white furniture, white walls and white woodwork. Dut the artists at work on such lovely rooms do not leave the room In all white, for bright red Is suggested for cushions, carpets and celling borders. Then cerise Is used for decorative scheme and often lavender or various shades of green. The last-my.itloned color is fresh and beautiful for a summer room and one can easily grasp an idea of its comfortable appearance. Irons Easier. To lessen mateBlally the difficulty of ironing shirt-waist sleeves, open thcsleeve from shoulder to, wrist after joining the under-arm seam, hem the raw edges, finish the forward lap with lace and Join the sleeve again with buttonhoes and tiny flat pearl buttons. The result Is not only practical, enabling one to iron a shirt-waist in about half the time It usually takes, but extremely pretty. An Insect Party. It was a novel little dance that was srlven by a clever girl in Jersey, and it was known as an "Insect Party." The costumes were all intended to imitate the appearance of some insect, and the result was a fairy -like Illusion of gauze wings, of trembling antenna, of greens and browns that contributed a lasting impression of a scene from "Midsummer Night's Dream." Tinted Stationer)-. Nowadays milady has taken a fancy to the new French stationery, which is delicately tinted, and whichjhas the envebpes lined with tissue paper of the sinne elusive shade. In the flap of the -nvcloj.e, where the seal should be, the paper is cut out to form milady's initial. Nothii K ouild le daintier, while It has tbv additional advantage of being fairly inexpensive. To Make tPe Ilnlr Curl. x Thlreparatlon has proved helpful iu many cases: Potassium carbonate, Y20 grains, ammonia water, 1 fluid dram; alcohol, 12 fluid drams; rosewater, enough to make 10 fluid ounces. In using, moisten the hair, adjust it loosely and it will curl upon drying. For Snnbarou The brown or sunburn may be removed by the following lotion, which will restore the skin to Its natural color: Bichlorate of mercury in coarse powder, 8 grains; witch-hazel, 2 ounces; rose water, 2 ounces. Agitate

until a solution Is obtained. Mop over the affected parts. Keep the perparation out of the way of ignorant persons and children. Very often when one has a cold, the eyes feel hot and are red and Inflamed. The best way to effect a cure Is to bathe the eyes frequently with 4 solution of boric acid and water. If the eyes do not feel improved after your cold disappears, it would be well to consult an oculist.

Chle Co iff a re. A pretty way to wear your hair for summer dances. How to Hold Dodr Correctly. When the body is being held correctly in a standing attitude, the main weight is on the balls of the feet, not on .the heels or the" toes. The chest and the head are held up well, though the latter is not to be confounded with throwing the chin out. I have seen women thrust their chins forward, evidently believing they were holding their heads well. This is an error, for holding the head correctly draws in the chin a trifle without allowing it to droop. To Prevent Chilblains. Take a piece of alum about the size of a nut and melt it in enough hot water to cover the hands. When the alum has quite dissolved, soak your hands In the liquid for a quarter of aa hour. Wipe the hands dry, then rub thoroughly with a piece of common new flannel kept for the purpose. Wearing loose gloves at night and as much as you can during the day Is a great protection for the hands. Housekeeper. Walking on All Fonrs. A distinguished medical man holds that the real secret of perfect health Is to be found in walking on hands and knees. He says that this is how we were intended to walk, and that the erect attitude of man is a mistaken and comparatively modern Innovation. AO cording to his view, a good, steady walk of four miles in and four miles out on hands and knees every day would bring every muscle in the body Into full play. Ice for Sickroom. When ice is broken in small pieces, ready for use In the sickroom, it melts rapidly. Keep a large piece in a basin or pall and cover with several thicknesses of newspaper and break off the pieces as needed. They can be ijroken any size desired and with little noise, simply by sticking the point of a darning needle Into the ice and tapping It with a thimble. o Ilrlflenmaids .Now. There is a growing tendency at fashionable weddings to disiose altogether with grown-up bridesmaids and substitute two or three little maidens attended by boy cavaliers in willow-green silk court dress or simple green linen "Kate Greenaway" suits. The old superstition as to green at a wedding appears to be dying out. The Use of Drald. There are white broadcloth costumes braided In black, but these are rather too conspicuous to be favorites with women who have but few gowns. It is thought more desirable to braid a dark costume with a light colored braid in order that the braid may be removed at some future time and the gown worn with a contrasting coat. lias Record for Cooking. A Boston woman who has been a cook for fifty years in her own home boasts that she has made and baked 39-1,000 pics, 2,000,000 doughnuts, 1,500, 000 puddings and other dainties, and, of course no end of baked beans. Her recipes are all her own but she will not write a cook book.

TBAVELIXQ WITHOUT TIPS.

German Hotel Keeper Pats His Theory Into Practice. Herr Grauer, a wealthy German hotel proprietor, has carried out an experiment with amusing results on the tipping custom, says the London MaiL He had a theory that all hotel employes should be paid a living wage, and that tipping should be abolished in hotels. So 1 he started, accompanied by his wife and daughter (the Lausarne correspondent writes) on a three weeks' tour of the chief German and Swiss hotels, determined not to spend a sou on tips, In order to test his opinions. . One week's experience of the consequences was enough for his wife and daughter, who returned home disappointed and indignant with Herr Grauer for the discomfort and insults to which he had led them. Mysterious hieroglyphics and secret signs known only to hotel employes announced the arrival of the Grauers "the non-tippers" at the varlou resorts they visited. The result was always the same nobody seemed to want them. At the stations they were told" that the particular hotel where they wished to stay was full; the hotel omnibus was merely "waiting for a few old clients to depart" When they Insisted on entering the omnibus there was nobody to carry their luggage, and railway porters had to be employed and paid. Arriving at the hotel, their heavy baggage was unceremoniously thrown on the ground and the boxes were damaged. The maid took half an hour to answer the bell, and the "hot water," when It did arrive, was cold. At table d'hote the Grauers were always served with the last portion. The concierg "did not know" of any Interesting trips in the neighborhood, and was generally "busy" when they descended to the hall. Complaints to the manager were futile. Herr Grauer, who persevered with his three weeks tour to Ita unpleasant end, sums up his experiences as Including the following: Lost three trains; luggage unable to be found. Had four ptlrs of boots, two being new, ruined; "cause unknown." Two suits of clothes, one dress, three blouses mysteriously contracted Ink stains. Herr Grauer now believes that tipping is a necessary evil, with a still long life. EISE OF JOHN BUSKS. An Engineer's Apprentice Who Entered the British Parliament. Some people are laboring under the belief that England Is less democratic than this republic, says the Brooklyn Eagle. They should study the rise of John Burns, now president of the local government board. Thirty-five years ago he was an engineer's apprentice at $2 a week. This position in England is far more menial than In this country, because a lad has little hope of rising to an earning point beyond G or S shillings a day. But John Burns kept going. . He acquired an education .by selfstudy because the common school system, as we understand the words, does not exist In Great Britain. He developed the ability to talk upon his feet. He stood for parliament, although he hadn't a shilling besides his earnings as an expert workman. Members of the British parliament are not paid anything for their services. Friends came to Burns' assistance and he took his seat with nearly forty other representatives of labor. To-day he is a member of the government and as privy councilor may. If he chooses, draw $23.000 a year for the rest of his life, whether In or out of office. Of course.it is not considered regular to take the salary when one Is out of office; but some cases of the kind are well remembered. That Ben Butler of the British parllaii -nt, Benjamin Disraeli, always drew the money. He needed It, as he. asserted. But what I started to say Is that a workman ha3 as great a chance in England as here if he makes something of himself beyond a drudge. Such successes are more exceptional there than here. If reference be had to the American born workman, because the foreign-born laborer does, as little work as he can here or elsewhere. His indolence Is infectious and many formerly earnest tollers have become Imbued with the continental belief in shirking duty. Had Burns felt thus he would still be a mechanic and carrying a dinner pall. Finds Lake of Qaicksilrer. A lake of quicksilver, covering an area of more than three acres and having a depth ranging from ter to fifty feet, has been discovered In the mountains of the State of Vera Cinz, Mexico, says the New York World.

Bungi, a reputable mining man, who declared he was suffering from mercurial poisoning from having passed much time investigating the extent of the lake and coming In contact with the quicksilver. He went to Santa Rosalia springs in the state of Chihuahua, where he took a course of treatment for bis ailment. He returned to Mexico City several days ago fully restored In health. Mr. Bungi Interested F. Lagerwall, a wealthy Iron manufacturer of Sweden, who Is now In Mexico on business, and J. B. Feel In, of New York, who accompanied Bungi to the state of Vera Cruz and proved the truth of his discovery. This "lake of quicksilver has been known to the Indians of that locality for many generations. It Is situated far up In the mountains in an almost Inaccessible position. Its surface is partly covered by stones. It is believed that volcanic action in the mountains above smelted the quicksilver out of the cinnabar ore and that It rat down and fiiled this depression. Lagerwall ami Feel in haTe agreed to provide the capital for the operation of the rich find. A tinnl will 1 drven through the base of the moun tain and the quicksilver will b brought down bv means of gravity. Shifting Ilia Conrse.
