Only a School Teacher.
BY HELEN FOHKE9T GRAVES.

said Rosa Vernon.

t v m e r peach—a
gill who liked to
wear jewelry and

\ very particular as

deal of the aristocratic element in Miss
Vernon’s nature, considerably more than
was exactly fitting for a daughter of the
Republic, and she was perpetually en

Henry Lralic.

What are we to expect next?”
“The subject is an inspiring one, Miss
Vernon,” said Harry Leslie, dryly.
“Does she get three or ten dollars a
week?” demanded Ro* 1 , wi'.h a super
odious loss of her head, “and does she
board round?”
‘‘She boards at Squire Macpherson’s,”
said Harry, “anti as for the salary, I
can't tell you, but if you choose, I’ll
make inquires.”
“And I’m going round to the squire’s j
ihi3 very evening, said Bob, “to get j
introduced to Miss Markham—Mabel 1
Markham— isn't, it a sweet name?”
“Bob!” ejaculated Ins horrified sis
ter, “would you so far compromise our
social positiou as to—”
“Compromise a fiddlestick!”
“But, Bob, now, of all times in the !
world, just when Major Taliaferro and
his family are coming to the place, and
one naturally wants to retain a foremost
place in society.”
“Hang Major Taliaferro and lm fam¬
ily! IIow are they any better than
Squire Macpherson; aud the dear little
dove eyed school ma'am?”
“They are very wealthy aud aristo- I
cratic, Bob, and they have traveled iu
Europe, and there’s the major’s uiece,
who will inherit the money, and—”
“Oh, is that all?” 1 really can t see
the occasion for falling down and wor

account of the Marxhanis, T must submit

outcast, but until tlieu 1 shall take the
liberty of doing precisely as I please,
Come, Ilarry.
“Tuen you are actually going to Squire
Macpherson s, a place where nobody
Vli>n>?
“Yes, actually and truly.”
Rosa’s lip curved, but she chose to
liazard no further remonstrance.
She wa< in tin village drug store, oue
afternoon, a lew days subsequently,
choosing a book from among the well
thumbed circulating library, when Squire
Macpherson s rickety o.l tamilv carryall
drove up, and a young liulv alighted.
Rosa turned and g am-. .1 a; her with a
sort of languid, in-oleut curiosity, as if
at sonic rata avis that fortune had thrown
in her way.
“So that is Mabel Markham, who
teaches the district school?" she thought,
eontemptously.
Miss Markham was sliglit and lair, and
delate,with big blue ej CS which looked
at you with the soft, wondering inno¬
cence of a child, -kin smooth and pink
as au oleander pern!, and a profusion of
fair flossy cut ripoliug like a golden
cataract over her shoulders.
ller dress was very plain—a dark
brown gingham, with collar aud cuffs of
the most spotless linen, a bow of blue
ribbon at her throat, aud a hat of flue
straw, trimmed with blue ribbon also.
“You could buy it all for live dollars,”
fbought Rosa, scornfully, as -he gave
her own green aud gold changeable silk

bracelets that she wore.
“Wny, Mabel, my darling, is it you?"

on
arm as she spoke, but Miss Vernon drew
bock, a little hnui-bt.ly.
i.xcum* me, Mrs. Wylie, but I have
no anxiety to become acquainted with a
School teacher ”
Mrs Wvlio Yy liei looked i bewildered. mi i
. “But, n my dear, you don’t understand
that—’’
“I do understand all that I cate to,
Mrs. Wylie—you will please excuse me
front tiie introduction."
As she drew coldly back she saw with
internal satisfaction that Miss Markham
!rom her position at the counter beyond
I had doubtless heard the whole conver-
1 ‘-Don. For the crimson had overspread
the oval cheek turned toward them, and
Mabel’s head drooped an instant.
“Oh, dear!’’ cried Mrs. Wylie, in evi
l dent consternation, “I do hope she
hasn’t heard us!”
“It is quite a matter of indifference to
me whether she has or not!” said Rosa;
“she is only a school teacher.”
Mrs. Wylie turned away, hurt and
disappointed, and Rosa swept out of the
store -
“Mabel, dearest, you won’t mind a
! petulant child’s ill-bred criticism?” she
pleaded, coming close to Miss Markham,
! and possessing herself of one slender
little hand.
“No, Mrs. Wylie.”
“And you’ll come homo to tea with
1 me?”
But Mabel declined—she had a
i pressing engagement, she said. Whether
that engagement had anything to do
with Mr. Bob Vernon, we don’t pretend
to say. but certain it was that she
walked with him in the moonlight that
! night, under the poplars in front of the
gray old Macpherson mansion, until the
village town-clock chimed eleven!
And the next morning Bob proclaimed
to the astonished ears of the family
group, gathered around the breakfast
table, that he was engaged,
“Bob! Engaged! And to whom?”
“To Miss Mabel Markham.”
Rosa uttered a little breathless scream
cf dismay.
“To Mabel Markham! Oh, Bob, you
reckless, imprudent fellow—just when
Major Taliaferro’s niece was coming to
reside in the place, and they say she is
lovely l”
“She cannot be more lovely than my
Mabel, and I do not choose to submit to
the imputation of being a fortunehuuter.
I am able to earn my own living and my
wile’s, too. Y’ou will call on iny fianc^
Rosa, won’t (you?”
“I will never speak to her.”
“Then you can let it alone,” said Rob
ert Vernon, flushing a little; “only I
not know you were such a fool,
Rosa.”
And so the matter rested for a few
days.
“A party at the Taliaferros—with
tents on the lawn and a band of music
from New Yorkl Oh, how splendid!”
ejaculated Miss Veruon, daucing about
the parlor floor with the note of invita¬
tion in her baud. “So the family have
really arrived at the place—and you got
me the invitation from Harry Leslie! So
kind of you! And will the major’s
niece be there?”
“Yes, she will be there.”
“Have you seen her?”
“Yes, often.”
“Oh, I do so long to see her! I must
send to the city for a new white grena
dine dress, and a wreath of pink gera
mums—roses are common!”
Aud Rosa sat down at once to write |
the note to her dressmaker,
“Of course you won't go, Bob?” she
said, loftily,
“Why shouldn't I go?” demanded
Bob, defiantly eying his sister.
“Because your fiancee won’t be there.”
“Don’t be too sure of that.”
‘•l am sure ot it; who would iuvite a
district-school teacher ? And the Talia
ferros are so exclusive aud aristocratic, !
too.”
“Mabel will be there,” said Bob,
briefly; but that was all he could be in
duced to say for the gratification of his
sister’s curiosity. |
The evening of the much talked of
party finally arrived, with a full moon,
and the lovliest of September nights, to
do all due honor to its festivities. Rosa
arrived rather late—impatient as she wits
to view the internal arrangements of the
stately old stone mansion she would j
sooner have cut off her right hand than
been unfashionably early. She was !
dressed in the white grenadine, with the
wreath of pink blossoms eucircling her
jetty hair, and had the agreeable con
sciousness that she was becomingly at
tired, and looked, very well. Harry
Leslie met her at the door of the already
thronged drawing-room, and offered her
his arm to conduct her to her host and :
hostess. j
Major Taliaferro, a fine-looking dig
nified, elderly gentleman of the old
school, stood at the head of the room, I
with his wife beside him—a stately lady
iu rustling white brocade, and such dia- j
monds as almost dazzled Rosa’s eyes
with their blaze. As she inclined her
head to them the major took her hand i
kindly.
“Miss Veruon, allow me to introduce j
you to my it* niece. Miss Markham.”
Yes, was Mabei Markham, dressed
in white tulle, with pearls aud simple
white roses in her golden curls of hair;
and Bob stood beside her, holding her
bouquet with conscious pride in his fair
companion's winning beauty, j
Rosa looked so bewildered that her
brother burst out laughing,
“I thought Miss Markham was the
schoolteacherl” stammered Rosa, scarce
ly knowing what she was saying in her
confusion. “You perfectly |
were correct iu your
surmises, Miss Vernon,” answered Ma
bel, quietly; “nor was I ashamed of my
, vocation. But I was only temporarily
occupying the position on behalf of my
school irieud, Miss Claremont, whose
illness incapacitated her lrom at once

“So you have been iotroduce,! to Mis,

spice of playful malice in her tone. “If

Dancing Birds.
The love of dancing is found through
out the animal world, shown more con
spicuousiy in butterflies and other insects,
but also in large birds and even in beasts.
The “Naturalist iu Li Plata” has iatelj
added some very curious instances to
tnose accumulated by Darwin and others,
showing the delight that certain birds
take in moving together on the ground
after a set fashion, which does not vary.
The Jacana, a large rail, with very
long toes and beautiful greeuish-gold
feathers under the wings, stops feeding
every little while, rushes to one spot to
the number of six or a dozen, and then
ad move about in a cluster with wings
raised. The Y'pecaha, a true rail, does
the same, but prepares smooth places
beforehand for the dances, as our prairie
chicken in said to do. Both these birds
scream loudly while dancing. The most
novel as well as most singular per
formance is that of the spui winded lap¬
wings.
These have a ceremonial for the recep¬
tion of a visitor. They live in pairs, but
often one lapwing will leave its mate and
approach a pair. The latter advance to
meet it, aud place themselves side by
side behind their guest. All three begin
to march in that order, the leader emit¬
ting loud notes at regular intervals, the
pair keeping up a stream of sound like
the roll of a drum. Tuen all three stop.
“The leader raises his wings and stands
erect and motionless, still uttering loud
notes; while the other two, with putled
out plumage and standing exactly
abreast, stoop forward and downward
until the tips ot their beats touch the
ground, and sinking their rhythmical
voice to a murmur, remain for some time
in that positiou.” The guest then de¬
parts to its mate, and they in turn re¬
ceive a visitor with the same ceremonies.

A Church Memorial to a Cow.
At St. Mary’s, Bristol, are preserved
two immense horns of a cow. The cow,
in a measure, was thus canonized, It is
told how that during a great dearth of
water in the city the cow Kept many a
child alive with its milk, and at its death
its memory was thus preserved.
At Durham Cathedral there b an
image of a cow among the decorated
stone carvings of the cathedral, placed
there in remembrance of the facts relat¬
ing to the resting-place for the remains
ol St. Cuthbert, which were interred
within 7 ^<3,cathedral. For nearly three
centuries the body of St. Cuthbert
slumbered in the Abbey of Lindisfarne;
but in 995 the f requent incursious of the
Danes warned the Drotherhood that the
time for flight, whicb the Bishop had
hinted at before his decease, had come.
Accordingly they took up the cherished
relics and wandered hither and thither
for seven years before they found a rest¬
ing-place for the precious duty they car¬
ried. At length, as the story goes, it
was revealed to Eadrner that Dunholme
wa3 the spot selected by the saint him
seif. The brethren could not for a long
time find where Dunholme was; but
.vhile they were wandering in the woods
above the Wear, they heard a woman
asking for her lost cow, and a voice re¬
sponding uttered the word “Dunholme.”
Thus, says the legend, they found the
place they were seeking. Having reached
a fine open sward in the forest, they
rested with their strange burden, and
here in uo long time after was built the
splendid fabric of Durham Cathedral.—

Costly Cannonading.
The likelihood seems to be that rapid
fi re guos will before long practically
supersede the great cannon of the old
style, which have grown to be so gigantic
as to be unwieldy. They are much
cheaper also. A 110-ton gun costs
Its average life is only ninety
f* v ’ e shots, which means that it is uo good
after it has fired that number of projec
files. On this basis of reckoning, each
shot costs about $900, without counting
the powder and projectile, which cost
$750 more. Sixteen hundred and fift^
dollars a pop is a good deal to pay. It
is true that when a missile from such a
weapon hits anything the latter is likely
to be seriously affected. One experi
mental shot with a 110-ton gun sent the
projectile through twenty inches of solid
steel, eight inches of wrought iron,
twenty leet of solid oak, five feet of
granite, eleven feet of concrete and four
! ee t of brick back of all the rest. Toe
striking energy of the conical bullet
amounted to 54,320 foot-tons, which
was equivalent to the power necessary to
lift five giant ships of the size of the
steamer City of New York one foot out
°f water. It will be remembered that
t h e famous “jubilee shot,” fired from a
'-inn on the occasion of the Queen’s
juoilee, fell at a distance of tnirteen
miles, attaining at the highest part of its
trajectory an elevation of four miles.—

Silesia, a boy of seventeen, has been ex¬
amined by the Anthropological Society
of Berlin, Germany, respecting his
weight. He is too light for his size, sc
that his body sinks only half down in
the water. In fact, it would seem iin
possible to drown him without ad
ditional weights. With six pounds at
tached to his teet he sank in water to
the shoulders; witu ten pounds to the
eyes. Fourteen pounds were required
to make him sink entirely under water,

had been hinted to the writer of this
article, who was acquainted with Mr.
Northrop, that this miraculous change ha 1
Called been wrought Dr. Williams* by a very simple remedy
Pink Pills for Pale Peo*
lie. When asked aliont it Mr. Northrop
fully Verified the statement, and not
ODly so, hut lie had taken pains to
inform any one who was suffering
in a similar manner whon he hear I of any
such case. Mr. in his Northrop was enthusiastic
at the result own case or' Dr. Williams’
Pink Pills. It was a r -medy that he had
heard of after he had tried everything he
could hope to give him relief. He had been
in the care of the best physicians who did all
they could to alleviate this terrible malady,
I ut without any avail. He had given up
hope, when a friend in Lock port, N. Y.,
wrote him of the rase of a person there who
had been cured in similar circumstanc s oy
Dr. Williams* Pink Pills for Pale People.
The person cure! at Lockport had
obtained his information respecting
Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills from an article
published in the Hamilton, Ont,, Times.
The case was called “The Hamilton Miracle’'
and told the story of a man in that city who,
after almost inore (ible suffering, was pro¬
nounced i.y the most eminent physicians to
be incurable and permanently disabled. He
had spent hundreds of dollars in all sorts of
treatment and appliances only to ba told in
t he end that there was no hope fur him, and
that cure was impossible. The person al¬
luded to (Mr. John Marshall, of 25 Little
William St., Hamilton, Ont.,) was a mem¬
ber of the Royal Templars been of Temperance,
and after having pronouuced perma¬
nently disabled paid the and incurable by the physi¬
cians, was $1000 disability insurance
provided by the or :er for its members in
such oases. For years Mr. .Marshall had been
utterly himself helpless, and was barely able to drag
around his house with the aid of
crutches, IIis agonies were almost unbear¬
able and lile was a burden to him, when at
last relief came. Home months after
he had been paid the disability
claim lie heard of Dr. Wdliams’ Pink Pills
and was induced to try them, The result
was miraculous; almost from the outset an
improvement was noticed, and in a few
months the man whom medical experts had
said was incurable, was going about the
city Marshall healthier and stronger than before. Mr.
was so well known in Hamilton
that all the city newspapers wrote up his
wonderful recovery in detail, and it was
thus, as before stated, that Mr. Northrop
came into possession of the information that
led to his equally marvelous recovery. One
could scarcely conceive a case more Hopeless
than that of Mr. Northrop. His injury
came about in this way: uue day, nearly
four years ago, he stumbled and fell the
complete length of a steep flight of stairs
which w ere at the rear of his s'ore. His
head and spine were severely injured. He
was ing paralysis picked up and taken to his home. Creep¬
very soon develo, ed itself, and
in spite of the most strenuous efforts
of friends and, .physicians the ter¬
rible affliction fastened itself upjn him.
For nearly two years he was perfectly
helpless. He could do nothing to sup¬
port his strength m the least effort. He had
to be wheeie i about in au invalid's chair.
He was weak, pale and fast sinking wnen
his timely information came that veritably
snatched his life trom the jaws of deatn.
Those wno at that time saw a feeble old man
wheeled into his st/me on an invaii t’s cnair
would not recognize the man now, so great
is the ctiauge that Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills
have wrought. When Mr. Norturop learned
of the remedy that ha i cured Mr. Marsuatl
in Hamilton, anu the peisoa in Lockport, he
pioeured Pills a supply ot Dr. Williams’ Pink
through 95 .uessrs. Bassett & L’Homiue
tlieu, W oodward avenue, and from the
outset iounu an improvement. He lailhtuliy
adhered to t>.e use ot the remedy uutit now
he is completely restored. Mr. Northrop
declares tnat there can oe no donut as to
Pink Pills being the Cause of his restoration
to health, as ail other remedies and medicai
treatment lelt him in aeon ntion rapidly go¬
ing from bad to worse, until at last it was
declared there was no hope for him and he
was pronounced incurable. He was m tuts
terrible condition when he oegan to use Dr.
\\ Ilhams’ Pmk Pills, and they have restored
bun to health.
Mr. Northrop was asked w hat was claimed
for this wondenut remedy, ,nd replied that
he understood tnat the proprietors claim it
to be a blood ouuder and nerve restorer;
supplying on a condensed xorm ail the eie
rnt-ULs iiee^sa. . eui ie.i „jj 0100 1, restore
shattered nerves an i drive out disease. It
i* claimed by the proprietors that Pink Pills
will cure paralysis, rheumatism, sciatica,
palpitation of the h a art, liea tache, and ail
diseases peculiar to females, loss of appetite,
dizziness, sleeplessness, l >ss of memory, and
all diseases arising from overwork, mental
worry, loss of vital force, etc.
“I want to say,” said .Mr. Northrop, “that
I don’t have much faith in patent me liciues,
but i cannot say too much in favor of Dr.
Williams’ Pink Pills. The proprietors,how¬
ever, claim that they are not a patent med¬
icine in the sense in which that term is used,
but a highly scientific preparation, the re¬
sult of years of careful stu Iv and experi¬
ment on the part of the proprietors, an ! the
pills were successfully used iu private
practice for years before being placid
for general sale. Mr. Northrop
declares that he is a living ex
ample that there is nothing diseases. to eq 0 uil these
pills as a cure for 1 nerve these a inquiry
the writer toun that pills were man¬
ufactured by Dr. Williams’ Medicine Co.,
Schenectady, N. Y., au i Brockvilie, Out.,
and the pills are sold in boxes (never in balk
by the hundred), at 50 cents a box, an i may
be had of all druggists Medicine or direct by mail
from Dr. Williams’ Co.,from either
above addresses. The price at which these
pills are sold comparatively makes a course of treatment
with them other remelies inexpensive as
comfiared with or medical
treatment. This case is oae of the most re¬
markable on record, an 1 as it is one right
here in Detroit, and not a thousau l miles
away, it con be easily verified. Mr. North
rap is very well known to th9 people of
Detroit, and he says he is only too glad to
testify of the marvelous good wrought in his
case. He says be considers it his duty to
help all who are similarly behalf afflietei by any
word he can say in of the wonderful
efficacy of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills.

fair will be surrounded by gardens orua
mented by a profusion of tropical plants,
and in the galleries of the pavillion w ill
be placed more than three th u*and beau
tiful birds,many of which have very gor
geous plumage.
Conspicuous in the shoe and leather
exhibit at the World’s fair will be the
display made by Lynn, Mass. Lynn L
tlie largest shoe producing centre in the
United State*, fully seventy five and per
haps one hundred of the shoe manufact¬
urers of ih t city will furnish exhibits.
They are acting in harmony in the mat
ter.
Thomas Cook & S >n of London, the
well known tourists’ agents, have notified
the transportation department of the
World’s fair that they intend to make an
exhibit of means of transportation inclu¬
ding the following: Norwegian carriole,
Norwegian sleigh, Lap and dog sleigh,
Irish car,Neapolitan cart,Turkish caique,
Palestine encampment, camel saddle aud
harness, elephant with howdah, Bombay
bullock cart, catamaran, Chinese palan¬
quin, Japanese j nriksha,antique English
sedan chairs, old English traveling char
iot, models of dahabeuhs and Nile steam¬
ers, models of bo-its and also to show
models ef various Egyptian temples.
France intends to show its skill in
landscape gardening at the World’s fair.
A cab ! egram has been received from the
French commission asking that it be al¬
lowed to do and bear the expense of the
“whole decoration of the spaces sur¬
rounding the horticultural and the wo¬
man’s building.” This generous oiler,
doubtless, will be accepted if it does not
interfere with plans too far advanced to
be changed. The French are world
renowned as artistic landscape gardeners,
and it i-> believed they would hardly have
made the offer referred to unless they
inteud to make a d splay of surpassing
b auty. The commission asked also for
60, Ot 0 square feet for the French horti¬
cultural exhibit.
The Result.
Teacher (illustrating angles)—“The
original inhabitants of New York lived
along the rivers, and laid out the first
street at right angles to the waterfronts.
Do you understand that?”
Pupil — “Yes’m.”
Teacher— 4 But were
not paTuUel. They tKhv 1
ing au acute angle. Do you understantl
that?”
Pupil—“Yes’m.” the
Teacher—“Now what was result
when all these streets finally meet?”
Pupil—“New York.”—Smith and
Street’s Good News.
An Early Display of Fireworks.
A veiy fine di-play of fireworks was let
off from a magnificent building in the
Green park, London, in November, 1748,
to celebrate toe peace of Aix-Ia-Chappelle.
The t ext fine display his'ory records is
the elegant one they had in Paris, on May
31, 1770, in honor of the marr age of the
Dauphin, who was Louis XVI in embryo.
The Fiench, in their intense enjoyment,
got up such a fine crowd and had such an
elegant panic that nearly 1,000 persons
were killed. Some of them were pushed
into the river, and some died of shock
and suffocation in the crowd.—New York
Evening Sun.
Little Girl—“How old are you?”
Miss Antique—“I—er—how old do I
look?”
Little Girl (after reflection)—“’Bout
a hundered.”
