Tlio k'.M si rays lingered longest in the chest tut: r:i 1 which crowned the bride':- A' ip»]y h'Hl, but they found no rclk'cf in in the face beneath: its beauty wan by a look of sorrowful perplexity. Elizabeth Cliftou had teen nif.rrtf-l jiv:t month, and the first shadow come over her happiness. "I wippt it w1"! Hotne tiresom© business that Henry fco," she .sighed, "for it w:h just
after he hart read his
letters: it tmi.-st have been the one he thrust info hi* pocket that had the bad news. Jui how completely bin manner to me ehaii^cd! I don't understand it. When I anked him if anything was the matter lie actually mumbled something I couldn't make out. and then the dock struck, and we heard tho whistle of the train: that provoking train! it always comes at the wrong time. But tho worst of nil was his not kissing rne good-by! To be fiiire. he had done so once when he first got up from the breakfast table, thinking he wouldn't wait for the mail, and I know he was in a hurry when fhat whittle winded, for it just gives him Vime to reach tho station but it wouldn't have taken a minute to say good-by Again, and instead he rushed off without a word!"
By this time the young wife, in spite of herself, was crying quietly. But she was a brave girl, and did not give way any more than sho could help. After a little she decided to go out aud take a walk. She would probably have time before her mother-in-law had risen, and the fresh air might do her good. No, sho would not sit and mope any longer so, jumping op suddenly, Elizabeth carefully removed all traces of weeping, and put on her garden hat. Sho was about to step toward the door when a knock sounded thereat.
Looking hastily in the mirror to floe whether any tear stains were visible on her face slw opened tho door as little as possible, that she might not be seen. Her mother-in-law's maid stood in the ball. "Mrs. Clifton is ready to see yon, ma'am, whenever you wish to com©," the girl said rw{ectfully. "Very well, Jane 'I will be there in a few moments." Aud giving another peep into tho glass tobosnro that her oyes were not ml Elisabeth went to make her regular morning visit to the invalid.
The young couple had spent the first part of their honeymoon in a pleasant trip to Niagara, returning thence to pay a visit to the elder Mrs. Clifton in her pretty country home in one of the picturt'esque valleys of Pennsylvania.
The bride had never seen her husband's mother, and had rather dreaded the ordeal of making her acquaintance. She found her very charming, but was haunted by a secret fear that her admiration was not returned she fancied that sho was undergoing a critical scrutiny from the fond parent whose only child she had married. This morning Elisabeth particularly shrank from tho interview, for she feared that her face wan a telltale one. However, the visit must be gone through with so, summoning all her courage, she boldly knocked at the door of her mother-in-law's sitting room, and was at once admitted. miming, my dear." said the elder Mr.', Ctiftmi in a low. sweet voice, and the young lady knelt to receive her u«nal kiss.
The invalid pressed her pale thin lips against Elisabeth's soft rosy ones, and then. Jnvinjt her hand gently on her dnughu-r-in-iawVshottlder, looked mildly but ficntvhingiy into the upturned face. "How do v**n feel thi* morning, mother?" asked Rb:tiUeth gently. »V rv wvsL th mk you. fir iu\ But how arv vow. my child? Didn't von sleep wvl?

the least lonely," answered Elizabeth, "and, as yon say, the honeymoon is over." But her heart sank ^cifchia her at the ominous words. Was this what Henry's manner that morning mean t? "My dear," said the elder lady, closing the book which had been lying open on her lap and putting it on a wicker chair that stood close by, "I was only joking I hope and pray that Henry's and your honeymoon will never be over. As long as yon love each other yon have a glimpse of Paradise."
There \TJS cilence for a few moments. Elizabeth seated herself in a rocking chair, took off her bat, which she had forgotten in her preoccupation, and began talking about indifferent matters.
At last, in obedience to her mother-in-law's suggestion and thankful to be released, yonng Mrs. Clifton started out for a walk. It would be better than ?taying in ihe house, trying to sew or read, and there was a shady wood near by where she could be undisturbed. It opened on the high road, bnt a fence kept out all in traders. As Elizabeth neared her destination she noticed that a tall tree outside the wood was bent aud nearly uprooted, while the branches were almoat denuded of the leaves which only two days before had glowed in all the red and gold glory of autumn. Then she remembered that it had stormed the previous day—one of those violent t.tonus which sometimes como early and rob the forests of their foliage. With a shiver Elizabeth wondered if chill had come over every one—was the winter indeed come?
Left alone in her quiet room the elder4 Mrs. Clifton leaned back in her armchair looking grave. "Poor child! I wonder if they have had their first: quarrel? W ell, I suppose it must como some time. They will be all right by evening. I am sorry Henry was obliged to be gone all day I wish I could help them," aud she ended her soliloquy with a sorrowful shake of the head.
In the meantime Elizabeth did not get a chance to enter tho wood for, as she stopped by the beut tree, she glanced up the road aud saw in tho distance a party of ladies and gentlemen whom sho fancied she recognized. They evidently knew her, for they waved their handkerchiefs, shouting and gesticulating frantically. As they came nearer she saw that they were the young people belonging to several families in the neighborhood, all of whom had called on ber and at whose houses sho had visited.
Elizabeth stood her ground. "There is no use in retreaung into the wood," sho told herself "they would only follow and hunt me up. I must submit."
Sho did so very unwillingly, however, for she did not feel in tho least like seeing strangers sho consoled herself by thinking that they probably had some object in view and would soon go on their way- Sho was disappointed in this, for no sooner had greetings been exchanged than tho foremost of tho party—Miss Earle, a young lady to whom Elizabeth had taken quite a fancy and who was a favorite of Mrs. Clifton's—cried out: "How lucky! We were just coming to the house after you. Wo. had planned a picnic for today, but yesterday's storm has made the woods too damp, so we have decided to take a straw ride instead. You must come—it is great fun—and your husband, too isn't ho at home?*' "Mr. Clifton was called away today on business," answered Elizabeth, "and I'm afraid I can't leave mother for any length of time."
But the party would not accept this excuse. Mrs. Clifton the elder was used to being alone—they knew that, and she —young Mrs. Clifton—must be lonely, with her husband away.
Protestations were useless BO finally, seeing there was no way of escape, Elizabeth yielded gracefully, only stipulating that she must tell her mother-in-law where she was going. Two or three of tho party wanted to go in her stead, bat this she positively refused to allow. There was a farm a short distance up the road, where their conveyance awaited them, and Mrs. Clifton agreed to meet them there. Some of the people would have insisted on accompanying her but, being possessed of quick intuition, and divining that tho young bride was in no mood for company, Miss Earle dragged the whole party toward the meeting place, leaving Elizabeth to hurry home alone. "If they have had a tiff die had better forget her misery in company, after shq has had time to recover herself," was Miss Earle's wise reflection.
Young Mrs. Clifton informed her mother-in-law of the invitation, which she was of course urged to accept, said good-by. and went to her own room to make some changes in her toilet She lingered over the process as long as possible, putting off the moment of joining the merry makers until she felt she must go. Then she started out at a very laggard pace.
Hardly had Elitabeth entered her room when her husband knocked at his mother's door, "Why, Henry! yon have got back very tMU-ly." cried the invalid in surprise, when her mm appeared in answer to her "Come in.*" "Yes. Ortnsbv was away: I couldaH do anvthing. *1 shall have to go toniorrow," Mr. Clifton answered, as he stooped t« kiss the face upturned to hia. "If I hadn't town jou expected me borne tfaj* evening I would have re* mined ail night,"
This total ignoring of his wife st*rIted Mrs. Clifton. «ad one look into her mtC* stm* faee streogthesoed her fear*. babk*: they must not really quarrel *he thought, end then she spofee.

fBTRRE HAUTE SATURDAY EVENING MATk
wo, mid then Henry asked gloomily "Where is Elizabeth?" Mrs. Clifton explained her daughter-in-law's whereabouts, adding: "If you go at once, Henry, you may be able to overtake her before readies the rest o£ the party." And die accompanied the woids with a beseeching vlf
An instant's hesitation, and with an abrupt good-by the young man left the room, while his mother leaned back with an air of relief, c"'' "It will surely all come right now, she told herself.
Young Mrs. Clifton was just leaving the wood to set out on the high road toward the farm when she heard her name called in a voice she recognized at once as her husband's, though the tonewas new to her ears. She waited until he came up to where she stood. Then, in a very ceremonious manner, he accounted for his unexpected appearance. In.a tone equally cold Elizabeth informed him where she was going, pointing toward tho farm bouse as she spoke.
Young Mr. Clifton had removed his hat and held it in his hand when addressing his wife but a sudden cold gust of wind made him put it on again After she had finished speaking he said gravely: "Elizabeth, I have something to say to you. Will you give up this pleasure party, if I make your excuses to them^ and listen to me for a few minutes?"
The idea of giving up this pleasure party struck young Mrs. Clifton with a sense of bitter absurdity. For a moliie&t a spirit of defiance possessed her, and the answer "No" trembled on her lip. In that short space of time her life's happiness, perhaps, hung in the balance. "I will wait here," Elizabeth said at last, and, lifting his hat rery ceremoniously, her husband, with a formal "Thank you," walked rapidly up the road.
The minutes seemed like hours until he returned. Elizabeth stood motionless just where he had left her. He came quite close and looked keenly into her face. "I have a letter here I would like you to read,1' ho said, in horribly judicial tones "but first let me explain how it came into my possession. If you will look at the address you will notice that the word 'Mrs.' is written very much like 'Mr.'—tho 'b' is hardly noticeable. Jane gave it to me this morning with my mail. I hastily broke it open without even glancing at the outside, not being a woman, and—perhaps you can explain the rest."
Elizabeth received the extended envelope mechanically, looked at the direction and then took out the-feclosure —two sheets of clos&ly writted' note paper—looked at that and then up» other her husband. "I have not read it all," he saidt, in a very quiet tone. "Perhaps if you had you would have seen it was not for me," his wife answered, just as quietly.
Elizabeth felt only a terrible anger--all other feelings, seemed in abeyance, She looked at the letter again, while her husband watched her in dull amazement. What did this mean? Was it guilt or innocence?
Suddenly it flashed over her what her husband' must have lelt when he saw the words of endearment on the page—"My own darling*—that must have stared at him the-instant he unfolded the sheet. "Henry," she began, lifting her clear eyes to his, "if you lad shown me this before you went away"
had not time," he hastily interrupted. But she* went on without heeding him: "It would! have saved «a both a very unhappy morning. I kaare been foolish, I knew that, and so 1 did not dare to tell you. Henry,- that latter was intended for Cousin Kate Ashton. See, the signature is 'Edward! St. Clair.' Don't you remember he was izx love with her, but the family forbade* an engagement, would not even permit »M*rvpondence? In a moment of weakness I said he might address his letters' to me, aad then I would reincloee them to* TTste I have been sufficiently punished for my folly." "Elizabeth, forgive me!" was all her husband could say, and for answer she smiled up at hira through her tears.
Presently Henry told her how near he came to not showing her the letter. "It was my dear mother who induced me to do it," he said, tenderly, and Elizabeth whispered:. "Let us go to thank her she need not knew how foolish I have been." "Dear, we will lock the secret of our folly in our own bosoms," Henry answered "aad perhaps we have learned a lesson we shall never forget, this one October morning."—Peterson's Magazine.
A X«w EsplMlTO Cubonltt. The new explosive "carbonite" is giving satisfaction to coal miners. At a meeting of the South Wales Institute of Engineers Mr. W. Stewart stated that within his experience a ton of the material had been used without a sign of ft*™* or sparking. It is a stable compound and can be stored without deterioration for any length of time. It is rendered comparatively safe by tho fact that a detonator is required to explode it If struck with a hammer or stone no danger need be apprehended. Carbonite la lighter than dynamite, is of a brownish color, and contains per cent, of nitroglycerine. Certain sulphoreted hydnxaurbona are added to t&oderatt tAtt susceptibility of the nitroglycerine. —New York Telegram.

When You VlalU
Before you make a visit send word to your friends where and with whom yon are to stay, so that there may be no idea that you arc in a boarding house, and therefore mistress of yenr time and surroundings. Constant deference to your hostess should lead you to order all letters and packages to be addressed to her care.
As to the disposal of your time, when you are visiting, no etiquette requires you to accept all the plans of jour hostess, if you feel unable tc doso but- care is needed to show that refusal means lack of strength, not lack of interest and inclination. With a little tact on both sides you will have many hours for your own.
Indeed, a skillful hostess will manage to secure you this privilege and not make the mistake of working too hard to amuse you, and so absorb every moment of your visit into her idea of what is pleasure for you.
No greater compliment is possible than the quiet acceplauce of your presence in the intimacy of family life.—Youth's Companion. 8»p -s
'The Women of Prance.
The French woman does not enter a beauty contest, with a fair field and no favor. She is a slender, colorless little thing, without a drop of honest red blood in her veins, at an age when the English girl is at her freshest, because by her physical and mental training her development is retarded. §he eats sweetmeats aad walks out decorously behind a veil. Theoretically when she marries she is still a child, but a child that has not been allowed to run.
In the first year or two of married life there comes a sudden blossoming, but the Gallic nature, with its emotional temperament, its vivacity, its sensitiveness, plows lines very quickly in the faces of its women, who arc not brought up to have the Saxon stamina. The Parisienne is apt to be sallow, well dressed and witty, the repartee and tho toilets often proving more effective than abetter complexion.—Paris Cor. Pittsburg Leader.
A Wealthy Lady Plnywricht. Among the few ladies in New York society who could turn some portion of their education to eood advantage there is one lady who, were she penniless to-morrow, could make not only a good, substantial living, but attain a fair share of fanto as well. This is Mrs. Charles Avery Doremus, This bright woman, who was Miss Bessie Ward, a daughter of Mrs. Josephine Harris Ward, and is now a daughter-in-law of Professor R. Ogden Doremus, has a charming littlesanctum in her home at No. 49 East Twenty-ninth street,, where the plots of her well known plays have been evolved by the light of the midnight oil.
Although, no floubfc, the writingof plays is nothing more than an amusement to Mrs. Doremus it could, if necessary,, supply ber with not only the necessities of life, bat a goodly share of its luxuries a? well.—New York Journal.
A PVinent for a Housekeeper.
There are few tables now where dishes are set on audi left. Where the custom still prevails there' is the same necessity as ofold for dinner mats, but they are so de* forming to the-symmetry of the table that people co\ L-r tJliem with embroidered linem pieces. For an-old fashioned housekeeper a young friend eould make an acceptable gift of a set of these mat covers. Half a dozen is a set, and there should be three sines, each slightly larger than the straw or slat, mats they are to cover. The edge kin ay be button haled in a lie&|£", trefoil scallop, done with yellow linen doss.
Above the scallop* may be three rows of feather stitching, done with yellow.' Or the work may all be done in white. The linen used forthe-auts should 1m heavy linen sheeting or dock.—Mrs. M. C. Hungerford in Harper's-Bazar.

A wretchedly homely hand can be made attractive by finger nails that show the attention of the manicure, whether the manicuring is done by a profeesioaal or attended to by one's self. The finger nail should be fiu»l into shape—never cut, an the knife or
makes the nail brittle. Then
the nails in warm water for a few minutes. Give them a good scrubbing nith soap aad stiff hand brash. Then with a.tittle powder and a polisher a gloss can he given them. This attention daily, with a visit to a manicure once a week, will keep the nails in perfect condition and whisper at all times of an innate refinement.— Teresa H. Dean In Chicago Herald.

Cabman's Opinion of Women.
Said an old cabman: "I have been standing in Forty-second street here since 1867, and never have I had an extra ten cent piece from a woman. They are all alike and their name is close. I never drive one that she doesn't want to go like an engineer, and if I demand extra pay for the time made over the road she will hold back and fight with her mouth every time. They all want their money's worth. If they agree to travel at mile rates and doubt my estimate of the distances 1 have to wait while they go into a drug store or telegraph office for points, and then I lose more time than the difference amounts to. If they hire me by the hour they will hold the cab till the full hour is up. I never knew one of them to cheat in the time, and never met one who paid for a fraction over. A man will allow me half an hour or half a dollar occasionally to get back to Hie stand, but a woman never pays for anything die doesn't get Unless she is with a man I dont care much about carrying her."—New York World.
Rich Men's Cigars.
It is a mistake to presume that the rich men smoke the higher grades of cigars, according to a well known dealer. The Vanderbilts and the Goulds use choice dear Havanas and pay high prices for them, but they are exceptions among the wealthy class. The gamblers are the connoisseurs in the matter of smoking. They buy only the best and highest priced cigars. Rich men's sons who are clerks at small salaries come next in their choice of cigars, and the politicians are third in the list Business men in the commercial and mercantile lines rank fourth, and the samefauthority says that retired merchants and millionaires buy the cheapest cigars they can get— New York Telegram.
The Pennsylvania's President.
Down at Cape May I met President Roberts, of the Pennsylvania railroad. Here was a man who had started out twenty or thirty years ago as a track hand, and who had come up through the mechanical and the executive branches of the business to be the president of the greatest railway in the world. His salaries—for he has several as president of the three or four corporations which are in the Pennsylvania aystem—aggregate $100,000 a year. Mr. Roberts shows the effect of his early training in the strong love which he has for the details of railroading.—Cor. Harrisburg Telegraph.

Life Pills, Bucklen's Arnica Salve and Electric Bitters, and have never handled! remedies that sell as wellc or that have given such universal satisfaction. We do not hesitate to guarantee them every time, and we stand ready to refund the purchase price, if satisfactory results do not follow their use. These remedies have won their great popularity purely on their merits. J. A C. Baur, Druggist. (1)
The usual treatment of catarrh very unsatisfactory, as thousands of dlspairing patients can testify. A trustworthy medical writer says: "Proper loeal treatment is positively necessary to success, but most of the remedies in general use by physiciansjafford but temporary benefit.

A DOCTOR'S CONFESSION.
He Doesn't Take Much Medicine and Advises the Reporter Not To. Humbug? Of course it is. Tho socalled science of medicine is a humbug and has been from the time of Hippocratos to the present. Why the biggest crank in the Indian tribes .is the medicine man." "Very frank wss the admission, especially so when it came from one of the biggest young 'physicians of the city, one whose practice is among the thousands, though he has been graduated but a few years," says the Buffalo Courier. "Very cozy was his office too, with its cheerful grate Are, its Q.ueen Anne furniture, and its many lounges and easy chairs. He stirred the fire lazily, lighted afresh cigar, aud went on." "Take the prescriptions laid down in the books and what do you find? Poisons mainly, and nauseating stuflk that would make healthy mau an invalid. Why iu the world science should go to poisons for its remedies I cannot tell, nor can I find any oue who can." "How does a doctor kuow the effect of his medicine?" he asked. "He calls, prescribes, aud goes away. The only way to judge would be to stand over the bed and watch the patient. This cannot be done. So, really, I don't know how he is to tell what good or hurt he does. Some time ago, you remember, the Boston Globe sent out a reporter with a stated set of symptons. He went to eleven prominent physicians and he brought back eleven different prescriptions. This just shows how much science there is in mediolne."
There are local diseases of various characters for which nature provides remedies. They may not be included in the regular physieian's list, perhaps, because of their simplicity, but the evidence of their curative power is beyond dispute. Kidney disease is curod by Warner's Safe Cure, a strictly herbal remedy. Thousands of persons, every year, writes as does H. J'. Gardiner, of Pontiac, It. I., August 7, 1*MM): "A few years ago I suffered more than probably ever will be known outside of myself, with kidney and' liver cemplaint. It is the old atory--i visited doctor after doctor, but to no-avail. I was at Newport, aud Dr. Blaokman recommended Warner's Safe Curo^ I commenced the use of It, and fouud relief immediately. Altogether I took three bottles, and I truthtully state that it oured mo."
