lh» Time to Marry. A good story reaches us from the somewhat out-of-the-way region of Pet] aluma. Early last week all was going merrily at a very interesting wedding in the town, until the bridegroom was calk d upon to produce the wedding ring. In vain he felt in his trousers pocket for the missing trifle. Nothing could bo found except a hole, through which the ring had evidently fallen into the high boot which is affected by young men of that country. What was he to do. “Take your boot off, ” said tho parson. The suspense and silence were painful. The organist, at tho priest's bidding, L struck up a “voluntary.” The young “ man, sitting on the altar rails, removed his boots, the ring was found—also a whole in the stocking, which led tho ’Worthy divine to remark: “Young man, is time you were married.” Physicians Havo Found Ont That a cv n ,t amination nnd foreign element in the blood, developed by indigestion, is the cause of rheumatism. This settles upon the sensitive sub-cutaneous covering of the muscles and ligaments of the joints, causing constant and shifting pain, and aggregating as a calcareous, chalky deposit which produces stiffness and distortion of the joints. No fact which experience has demonstrated in regard to H< stettcr's Stomach Bitters has stronger evidence to support than this, namely, that this medicine of comprehensive uses checks the formidable and atrocious disease, nor is it less positively established that it is preferable to the poisons often used to arrest it, since the medicine contains only salutary ingredients. It is also a signal remedy for mvlarial fevers, constipation, - dyspepsia, kidney and bladder ailments, debility and other disorders. See that yo<i got the genuine.

THE WAY SHE MADE THE CAKE My rule? Why certainly ! T’ts queer— But no one ever eats that cake. Who doesn’t ask me for my rule, (How much to use —how long to bake)— I . e given it to scores, and yet. My knack there’s no one seems to get. I take my flour, —somet’mos a pint—'ihouch several cakes require a quart. And sift it twice, or m ty bo thr.ee. Or only once, if time is si ort, Three eggs (or four, if under size), If scarce, two largo ones might suffice. A coffee cup of sucar, tb< n, Witli<just enough of sugar, beat— Or, add more sugar, if you wish. Should you prefer it very sweet— With milk, the butt' r I increase, With creum I use a smaller piece. Don’t let your bitking-powder make Your cake too tender or toe tough ; Flavor the whole to suit your tas-.e, And stir it till its stiff enough ; And now your work is wasted quite, Unless your oven's heat is right. If you should have good luck, I m sure You won’t regret the pains you take — But after all it’s judgment, more Than quantity that makes the cake: For scores have bail my rule, and yet, My knack there’s no one sei ms to got. — Good Housekeeping. NO. 29 HEMLOCK PLACE; Or, How It Came About. BY GENEVA MARCH.

dopmed to hear of nothing but tenants. 1 vish somebody would bj good enough to set those Hemlock Place houses on fire!” “They’ve paid no rent for six months, sir,” said Mr. Muggins, the agent. “They ain’t no good —them reduced gentry, as is always a talkin’ about the days they’ve seen. Talk ain't money anyhow you can tix it, sir.” “Then what on earth do you tolerate them for?” said Hubert Minton, sharply. “Put them out. Get somebody in their

place. If a man has got to be bored with a lot < f tenement hou'-es he may as well make money out of them, I suppose. ” “To be sure, sir; to be sure,” sail Mr. Abraham Muggins pulling out a dog’seared memorandum-book and making sundry notes therein. “That’s what 1 says myself—only these ’ere decayed gentry is so precious hard to deal witl And Hubert Minton, who was' troubled with more money than he knew what to do with, thought no ■ more of the old house in No. 29 Hem - I lock Place and its impecunious tenants, until six months or so afterward Mr. Muggins came to him again. “If you please, sir,” said he, “I can’t let that ’ere house iu Hemlock Place." i “Can’t let it? And why not?” “If you please, sir,” said Mr. Muggins, “’cause there ain’t no one will take it.”

‘‘Why not?”^demanded the landlord. “It's—bautTfed!" said Mr. Mifgf’ins. ■ “What?” shouted Minton. “Haunted,” repeated the agent, a trifle more distinctly than before. “Stuff and nonsense!” exclaimed the landlord. “Just xxbat I says myself, sir,” chimed iu Mr. Muggins. “But all the same, folks fight shy of No. 29 Hem- . lock Place, since old Mrs. Thompson ■was scared out of her senses, a-takin’ care of the premises for her coal and house-rent until somebody could be found to lease ’em.” ‘Mn the nameqf common sense,” said Hubert Minton, “what was there to frighten the woman?” “Shrieks, sir, at the dead of night, and awful groans,” said Mr. Muggins, looking into his memorandum book ! as if he kept a private menagerie of ' ghosts therein; “and the rattlin’ of chains most awful!” “Pshaw!”said Mr. Minton, curfly. “Yes, of course, sir,” assented the । obsequious agent. “But all the same, I cau’t get no tenant for the hou-e.” “Let it stand empty then,” said Hubert, carelessly. “If people choose to be such superstitious fools I don’t 1 regard myself responsible for it.” ami Mr. Minton went off to his summer fishing in the beautiful St. Lawrence, without troubling himself about thY haunted house in Hemlock Place.

“The sweetest girl you ever saw,” said Major Carson, who was a judge of salmon and knew where the deepest ’ and darkest trout pools were to be • found; “sketching and painting in water colors for a New York art emporium; camping out on one of the islands, the ' most picturesque sjjot you ever saw! O, of course, I’ll introduce you, old j fellow! I never was one of the kind who went in for keeping things to myself —especially as I’m old enough to ’ 1 be the girl’s father, and have a bald I spot as l>ig as a dinner plate on the back of my head!” and Hubert Minton decided that his old sporting friend was right, when he saw Ethel Langdon seated in a bo<Bt, and languidly pulling herself around a point of rocks, under the drooping shade of elm and beech. She was tall and Slight, and as perfectly7 formed as a Diana, with dark ! blue eyes, hair of sunny flaxen gold, and a dress of deep green serge, girdled witli a plain, black leather belt. “Didn’t I tell you she was a beauty?” said the triumphant Major. “By the ashes of Cleopatra, you were right!” returned Minton. Miss Langdon was one of those inde- 1 pendent young ladies who ask no odds I of the world. She supported herself and her infirm old aunt by the exercise of her skill in art, nor was she at all ashamed of the fact that .she earned her । own living. “We are very poor, aunty I and I,” said she, “and that is the reason ■ I can’t afford to wear those lovely sum- I mer silks, and vapory lawns and things ! like other girls have.” “Do you kow,” said Minton, “I think ' those dark woolen dresses of yours are ! the most becoming things that you can 1 possibly wear?” ’ “Ah,” said Ethel, “but you are a man. |

'. It takes a woman’s taste to decide about such things. Os course I would like to have pale blue satins and delicious Nile-green gros-grains—-just the color of the water where it ripples around the root of yonder old tree, and tarltan and all that sort of thing. But I can’t!” “You might if you chose,” said Herbert, boldly plunging into tho subject nearest his heart, “I shall like to know how.” said she incredulously. “You might be my wife!” he spoke out, “and if you would, oh Ethel, you should wear woven peails or rain-bows, if they were to be hud!” “Oh, but that’s nonsense,” declared Ethel. “No, it’s not,” said Minton, “Upon my soul and honor.” “Do you mean that you like me?” said straightforward Ethel. “1 love you,” declared Herbert. So they becamb engaged, and the belles of the Thousand Island House, who wore the “delicious Nile-greens” and so-forth, looked enviously on and wondered what was the charm of dark serge dresses, hair fastened up by a plain shell-comb, and great blue eyes with long lashes. But before the fishing season on the St. Lawrence was fairly over, Mr. Minton came to his fair fiance with a per turbed face. “Ethel," said he. “I havo bad news for you.” “Bad news?” Sho looked up earn- ’ estly in his face. “It can’t be very bad, with you standing there alive and well to tell it, dear Hubert.” “I have lost my fortune,” said he, I hoarsely. “The old law-suit I told you j of, which has so long been pending, has ; been decidt : against me. lam a poor ■ man to-day, and 1 have come to give i yon up the troth you plighted me, so | brief a while ago.” “But J won’t take it,” said Miss Langdon, decidedly. “Dear me, it wasn't your money I fancied, Hubert Minton, it was you !” “My own darling!” said he with brimming eyes; “but thank Heaven I’m not a positive pauper yet. I have a house to live in—not in any very inviting locality to be sure and I will write essays and critiques for the magazines, and you shall paint picture< and Aunt Miriam shall keep house for us!” “A house, eh?” said Ethel gravelv. J “That's a great deal better than noth- , ing. For aunty and I know by sad experience how hard it in t'> pav n ut. or rather not to nay it. We were turned out .of a house once, for being behind with the rent. “Impossible!” cried Minton, indignantly. “Yes, indeed.” said Ethel, with : the utmost solemnity. “It’s too ! true. It was before I found out I that 1 had any genius for drawing oi । painting, and we were trying, vainly enough, to live on Aunty's poor little pension as a soldier's widow. I don't know that 1 blame the landlord so much. I suppose people like their money when it's due.” “People needn't be savage!” said ' Herbert. “I should like the chance of kicking that, landlord down stairs!” “It was the agent,” said Ethel, “a little bandy-legged, snuffy fellow, with a perpetual cold in his head that ' didn't look the same wav. {revenged on him!” with a peal of laughter. “ You ? How ?” “You won’t tell anybody, will veu?” I coaxed Ethel, ^because 1 was a silly, I rattle brained girl, and 1 dioifdn't think of doing such a ridiculous thing i now. 1 fastened an old tin tish-bom in the flue of the kitchen chimney and ' hung a yard or two of iron chain l>e- । hind the parlor grate, so that when- । ever there was a light wind one heard the most doleful squeaks and groans ; and sepulchral rattlings! Ami 1 told । old Granny Higgins, tho colored । woman, who wa-hed for us, "" ontra- , geons story about ghosts that I had ! read in some old German b ok- and I do yon know. I've heard that the hon-o has never been rented since! Wasn’t it a caj ital revenge on old Muggins?” “Capital!” said Hubert. “Was the | agent's name Abraham Muggins?" “I xaetly !' cried Ethel. “How could । you possibly guess?” “Ami the house was situated in Hemlock Place, No. 29?” “No. 29 Hemlock Place, of course it was!” nodded the girl with wide epen eyes. "W’hat a rare piece of luck,” said Hubert. "If it hadn’t been for the ghost that house would have been sold along I with the rest. But nobody considered a 1 ghost to rank among the more desirable modern improvements of tho day, ami so it comes to pass that we have’ yet a roof to cover us, my bonny Ethel.” “What!” cried Miss Ethel. “Was—was it your hou^e, Hubert?” “I confess to being the ruthless landlord,” saitl be with a laugh. “And Muggins was my agent. But upon my word, I knew nothing of the circumstances of the case.” “But you oughtito have known, Hubert.” “Os course I ought; and shall knowbetter next time 1 own half a dozen >cksof houses.” ’Which won’t be just at present, said Ethel. “No, I’m afraid not.” The young couple living now in No. 29 Hemlock Place, are very poor, very contented, and not at all annoyed by the ghost, which has rested in peace long ago. A Storyof Congressman Rogers. It is related of Jolin Rodgers, the Arkansas Congressman, that he recently sat down in a barber’s chair, when the barber asked him if he would not take off his collar. “Certainly,” said Rogers pleasantly; “anything to accomodatb,” and getting out of the chair, removed his coat and vest, let down his suspenders, and began unbuttoning his shirt. “Jes’ yo’ collah, sah,” said the astonished barber; jes’de collah; that’ll be enough. “I understand,” said Bodgers, “Pam going to take it off, and bo peeled his shirt off over his head. You see, I have my collar made to my shirts,” he calmly said, as he sat in his undershirt and enjoyed himself,— Washington Post.

Fewiff us know how rich we arc: A prominent citizen of St. Paul was in Minijeapo’is, and met a former acquaintance whose ordinary condition was what Is known as impecunious. This time, however, his face was fairly beaming. “How are you?” he asked, in a cheerful bass voice, as he extended his hand to the man from St. Paul. “First rate. How are yon?” “Splendid.

Dirt is degradation—and degradation is destruct'on. Women, especially, are judged by their habits of household cleanliness, and no stronger condemnation can be expressed than “she keeps a dirty house and a filthy kitchen. ” But the struggle with dirt is often unequal. The woman’s weakness or the worthlessness of the soaps she uses make it impossible to overcome the demon of dirt. ' By the use of SAPOLIO she wins easily. 1

Looking Forward. At tho register offices in Paris, young married couples arc provided with a very handy little memorandum-book in winch to enter the certificates of any marriage, birth, or death that may occur in the family, t^ns avoiding the nc essity of oLt lining copies from the pub ic registries, which entails trouble and expense. The little book contains twelve spaces for possible births. The other day a young bridegroom, in dismay, asked the clerk at the register office: “Have I got to fl 1 in the whole of the twelve blank spaces?” “.Just as you please,” replied tho clerk; “only when you arrive at the thirteenth you had better call again, and we will give you a supplement La France.

Takes iooo people to buy Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Remedy, at 50 cents a bottle, to make up SSOO. One failure to cure would take the profit from 4000 sales. I f s makers profess to cure ‘ cold in the head,” and even chronic catarrh, and if they fail they pay SSOO for their over-confidence, — Not in newspaper words but in hard cash! Think of what confidence it takes to put that in the papers—and mean it. Its makers believe in the Remedy. Isn’t it worth a ; trial ? Isn’t any trial preferi able to catarrh?
