Should yon wish to know to what height nrtiHtic gardening cun he brought lot mo advise you to pay a visit to Haar lem (in Holland), where near the beau tiful pork Bile; 1 with doer, which makes such a beautiful walk, yon will /tail the fr.sucas horticulturist, Olaorcboets. A fter lie line hliowii you his astonishing collec tion of tulips, hyacinths, carnations, anemones, crowsfcet, cnmelias, prim roses, cowslips, cactus and pelurgonims, you will bo delighted. Try and |r- BUade him to allow you to sec his six remaining daughters and you will be dazzled. It is the story of (ho seventh, or rather the first, which I am about to toll you. Just ns this worthy man, who lias remained poor, although his con servatories are full of treasures, told it mo last year. At tho end of tho yenr 1882 lio had seven daughters on his hands. How ever, tho Misses Claereboots were as virtuous as they wero lovely, as sensible as they were poor, alas 1 and their appe tites wore only equaled by their virtue. Ono winter evening, at tho end of one of thoso meals which absorbed all the profits of the business, Glaereboets lighted his pipe, and with a mysterious air drew from Ids pocket a letter with a foreign postmark. “Guess who has written to mo?" ho said. Hoven pairs of well-developed shoul ders shrugged simultaneously, expres sive of ignorance. “Why, Mioheels Maasson, the son of onr former neighbor, the contractor. He is tho cashier of Planter Vuu Meeruyi, in Java. Ho wishes to settle down, and seeks one of your hands in marriage.” “Which one, papa?” exclaimed five somewhat tremulous volet™, v “It's tho tame to'him. llv’was eleven years old wiiVu he left. Ho is now twenty-eight, so you may >. N ) dor,stand tlint hchas nrfchoioi? it is f}? you to decide, and f Tun going to lake your opinion, beginning at the eldest. Well, Mina, will you msn-y Mioheels ?” “Yes, papa,” replied tho eldest Miss Claereboets, without hesitation. She was a magnificent blonde, twenty-four years old. Around tho silent room six discreetly subdued sighs were heard. “Right, my child,” said the father, as quietly as if it had been tho matter of delivering a hundred hyncinthos. “Mioheels is a good fellow, with excel lent references. He sends his deed, nil in order, to the lawyer for tho marriage. Wo will avail ourselves of its being fall to cousuinnto tho alfair, so that you shall not arrive there In tho hot went her.” Three weeks later Mina had bcioome Mrs. Maassen. When I say had, it re quires some explanation. The Dutch, tho best colonists in the world and the most practical people I know of, have devised nn easy means by which thoir single friends settled in the Antipodes can easily bo married in tho metropolis. To nmko tho bridegroom pass two months at sea, thereby to attend tho registry for ten minutes and tlm church for perhaps 'double that time was a bar barity. To soml out the intended was dangerous. She might find the suitor eaten tip by a tiger. To get over this the Dutchman insti tuted marriage by proxy. For instance, yon may be at Sumatra and you wish a line looking helpmate. Ton have noth ing to do but to send to n friend at Itot tordurn or Utrecht a power of attorney to act on your behalf. Ho marries her without charging any commission what soever; she carries her title deeds away with her. He registers her in the first steamer and four or five months after the order is given tho commission as ex ecuted and delivered. Thus the beautiful lilina, who bad sc.’ii many of her Iriends married in the same way, did not consider tho process anything unusual. She cried a littJc, however, ns she embarkod on n superb steamer belong ing to the “Koninkylko Kcdcrlnndscho stoomboot Maatsehappy” and saw her native land disappearing. Presently the Batavia got out to sea nnd then she was too much otherwise engaged to be aide to find time to cry. and she never came ontof her stateroom till they reached Suez. Then awful storms nrose, the shaft broke and they reached Colombo by sailing, arriving jus', in time to catch the boat for Singu poor. Mina was so ill as to bo uncon scious. Sho was carried from one ship to another again they weiv at sea, tho only difference she r< ih 1 being that tho basin close to her \ .w, of china in stead of copper. Sho arrived at Sing p r in a pros trate condition image .. • h, r lit t hour hod oome. Again ' ■ - ■ transferred like a bit of baggage to Blather steamer and two days lutor they arrived at Ba tavia. At last a fourth boat landed her . at Bamnmng. ITere she found herself in the alaxle of tho Dutch Consul, ly ing on a couch which seemed to lie toss ing up and down, although on dry land, till she thought she would lie thrown out on the floor. Hlie was jnst lamenting tho inatten tion of every ono to her, when a young man with fair mustache and straight forward-looking blue eyes entered the office of the Consul, who was busily writing to catch tho mail. "I am expecting a young woman from Europe, whom I hnvo married by proxy," said tbo visitor, "and I have come to make inquiries." "Sho has just been brought hero,” Hold the official, without stopping his writing. “Blie is in a very bad state, and you would do mo a favor by taking tier off my couch as soon as possible. Leave your address and the baggage will be forwarded.” Tho meeting of tho pair may bo im agined. He timid, she n weakened, prostrate ghost of her former self. The young colonist was, however, olensed with his acquisition, and hailing two coolies, had his wife taken to the Snmarang depot. Tho train took them half way to Djokjokarta, where two ‘al most undo men lifted tho well-nigh in sensible Mina out. An hour later she was seated next to her legal husband on tho rough cush ions of a two-wheeled cart, drawn by two jogging oxen, which shook her ter ribly. However, Mina felt better. Bhe looked up at her bnsband, and was pleased with his appearance. Gun in hand, ho seemed to watch furtively every nook and cranny as they passed, but paid her no attention. This seemed strange to her. “You are very fond of sport, it seems r sho safe, In a semf-reproaeTirnJ tone. These ivvrn tho first words sho had uttered to her companion. “I never was so frightened at meeting gnmo as lam at tins moment. This is a lovely climate, and 1 hope you will like tho country ; but it has one disad vantage. After six o’clock in the even ing it is infested with tigers, who prowl about in search of what they may de vour, so that it is best to remain at home after that hour. However, wo have passed tho most dungorons part, and we are getting near homo." l’oor Mina t Bho no longer wished to talk. Bhe trembled from head to foot. At last, they arrived at a fine bungalow, raised off tho ground, to avoid the snakes and adders, with verandahs all around. On tho steps stood a pale, thin old lady, who came forward, attracted by the noise of wheels. Bho was Miua'B mother-in-law. "Wlml, my child, yon liorq already ?’’ cried the old lady, much surprised. "Wo did not expect you until next week.” "Wo had an accident on the way, madftmo.” “That would delay rather than &■<#• Hi.vevor, lu.ro you are; that is the main thing. Ho wel( (>mm\ my child. Yotiimust be hungry.” ‘‘Oh,, iniulnnA), I only want sleep 1 If yon only knew what a journey 1 havo had!” “Don’t make any excuses, my child. I will got your room ready at once, and take you there mvself.” An hour later Mina slept boneath the waving Punkah, wrapt in sweet sloop and pleasant dreams. "Do you know you will have a pretty wife ?” said the mother on rejoining her son under the verandah. "It is astonishing how little she re sembles the photograph your uncle once sent of her.” “ Vea,” said the young man, "she is very lovely. I would like to go early to the church, mother; because, after all, wo have not been regularly married.” On the morrow, Mina came down all pink and white. Did yon sleep well, dear Anna? said her husband for the tlrst time kissing his wife’s forehead. "llut," said the young woman, smil ing, my name is not Anna; my name is Mina —Minn Claereboets. Had yon al ready forgotten it ?” “What I” cried the colonist, pale ns death, "are you not Auun—Anun Tans sens ?" “Great God ! and yon”— “I am called Ilaus Van nosselt. Don’t you oome from Edam? Isn’t your father a cheese merchant ?” “He is a gardener near Haarlem. I have married Micheels Maasseu, cashier of the honso of Van Meerayt. Here is my certificate of marriage.” Hans seized the papers, with trembling hand, ami glanced over them hurriedly. “Mother,” said he to old Mrs. Yan llasselt, who at that, moment entered, arrayed in her ilnest robes, "a misfor tune has occurred. I made a mistake at Snmorang. The young lady belongs to another.” The matron was a sensible woman. In a moment slio understood all. It was certainly hard on her son, already ttiree parts in love with a woman who was not for him, and whose husband would have to be found in an island fifteen hundred miles away, and ho would have to bo found before the real Mrs. Hans appeared on the scene, else she would have two daughters-in-law on her hands. Without losing a day, they started off with Mina, who thought rest would never oome to her. The only plan was to go to tiro Consuls of the various islands till they heard news of the happy Maasseu, to whom lie would have to give up Mina, to be replaced try the homely original of his photograph. To less resigned natures the position would have been insufferable, but these two contented themselves in tho happi ness of seeing each other daily. Hans was more in love every day with Mina, and she, nias I often shed a tear when she looked up at tlio false Micheels. Ten days had already elapsed in visit ing tln> ports tin-d inhabited by Euro peans Batavia, Cheribon, Tagot, Pek nlongon. The trio often became a duo, for Mina still suffered at sea. Every place had been tried even to Sourabaya, and, alas 1 it was chauqp which first gave them a clow. In the hotel where they alighted, and were telling the tale for the ninety-ninth time, they were stopped at the first word. “Mioheels Maassen 1 Ho was here four days ago. A strange adventure happened to him. lie was expecting a young woman by the steamer whom he had married by proxy, on the other side, and tho agent had given him another ono. Maasson was not pleased for the exchange was not for the better.” “I believe you,” said Hons, with a confidential air. “Nut what did ho do with my wife?” “Oh I she’s yours? Well, ho took her away, feeling sure that the real hus band wonhl follow to claim her and bring him his own. He even left his address. Ho lives on the other side of tho island, between Pourworedjo and Duty an.” “Well," said Hans, “here’s a cool kind of a customer ! One would im agine with him that it was rather a matter of a change of umbrellas in n cafe than ef a human lining. Hero we are again, for an eight days’ journey.” After some days at sea a furious tor nado arose, sweeping everything away; lightning flushed, thunder rolled, and tho monster waves rose like huge mount- ains on every side. By a mimelo tho ship was saved. In the morning all were surprised to find themselves alive, tho captain more than any. Everything was gone; tho compasses were unset; but lie knew these seas so well that it mode no difference. “I ought to have an islnnd in front of mo just here," he remarked, with a deep oath, “but I see nothing.” After seeking for the island half a day it was found to havo disappeared entire ly with all its inhabitants. So tlioy mado for a neighboring town, but in this ever famous night the neigh boring town and the authorities to whom the captain had intended making hisre- I>ort, had also disappeared. It was no longer a question of tho plantation of Van Meeruyt, of tho cashier of the bank or the poor Anna. Hans and Mina were widow anil widower, that is to say free. I don't think they wept much over their respective and unknown spouses. They will not be able to marry for some weeks. Tho Dutch law enacts that widows may not marry within a certain period of tho death of thir hus bands, so that Hans must submit to wait. TWO KKTKCI’iYi: STOKIKS. Tlio Ulfferenro itptwmi I lir Ciihllmli m.ri French Detectives. Our English detective is tho exact contrary of his French confrere. He does not wear uniform, hut lie might just as well do so, for lfie appearance and dress proclaim him to no what tie is as plainly an if lie was clod like X It'd of the force, lie is a well-meaning, intelligent follow; but both liin want of training nnd the system under which ho lias to work qiuto unfit him for tho detect 101 l of any crime which is hidden in mystery. I remember, some years ago, being on a visit to a country-house where tlio jcwol-caso of a lady visitor was stolen. It was quite safo when tlio owner had finished dressing for dinner; but a oonple of hours later her maid missed it, and gave the alarm. Search wins made —it is needless to say, in vain. Tho house was full of visitors, many of whom had brought witli them their own valets and Indies’ maids, besides which there was a large staff of servants belonging to the house itself. A telegram was dis patched to Scotland Yard the next morning, and in duo time two detective officers arrived from London. They ex amined tho room from which tho jewel box had been taken; questioned, and, as a natural consequence, set by the ears, all the servants of tho house as well ns those of tho different visitors; made in quiries at the neighboring railway station about the travelers who had left, the place during tho last few days; and, finally, took their departure, leaving matters exaotly where they were—where they have remained to tho present day, and where they are likely to remain for all time. Asa comparison with the foregoing I may mention a case of a very similar kind which I once witnessed in Faria. A friend of mine, living with his wife, daughter and a rnalo and female servant an second of a large old-fashioned house, found one morning that ail his plate had boon stolen. It was quite safe when the family went to bed the pre vious night, but in tho morning it had vanished. He communicated with the police; and an elderly gentleman, who looked like tho manager or one of the head clerks of a bank, was sent to the house. Neither the concierge nor any one else had the slightest idea who the individual was. Ho came ostensibly to see my friend on some business nnd only told him what this business renilv was. He came again tho next day and the following four or five days, making his visits purposely when my friend and all his family were out so as to have an excuse, while awaiting their return, of talking to tho servants, or of wasting a quarter of an hour in the concierge's den. He managed to ingratiate himself with this latter individual, and in the course of the next few weeks, during which time he still paid occasional vis its, ostensibly to my friond, became quite intimate with the servant. It end ed in the concierge being arrested one flue day on the charge of having stolen the plate. This was brought about partly by something tho detective had seen in the concierge's room, but chiefly on account of what he had heard at a place where a number of the agents or brokers for stolen goods used to congre gate for business and to which the de tective went in the character of a thief. The crime was thus discovered and the thief was duly punished. Chambers's Journal.

Any ono who has pej iodic headache-; occa -uonal dizziness; a dimness of vision; a ringing in the ear-; a feveri h head; frequent nausea or a sinking at the pit of the stomach, should take warning at once.

Acute dyspepsia causes more in nane suicides than any other known agency, and tho man, woman <>r child whose stomach is deranged is not and cannot be safe from tho coming on at any moment of mama in someone of its many tenable forms.

How they ’.let tlreety. Officers of g'u returned Arctic fleet say that Lient. Crosby had charge of the deck of the steamer Hear, which was in the lead on the day the party was dis covered, and Lieut. Colwell, who was the year before in tlio I’roteus, was cruis ing along in the open water in the steam launch with two ice pilots, bound for the cache which he bad made the year lie foro on the north side of Cape Sabine. The launch’s whistle was blown at in tervals. When not fur from the ice foot, Mr. Colwell saw a man appear over a ridge back 50 rials from the icefoot. He held a flag in his hand, but he did not wave it, as the launch headed in towarii tho hillside to meet it, but before ho had traveled far he tumbled down and thee rolled to the foot of the hill. Tho lanneli seen brought up besido tho ice foot, which presented a perpendicular wall six feet high abovo the gnnwale of the boat. The men scaled that by means of pro jeotmg crags, in spite of the waves which were tossed up by the gale, id hastened to oarry food, which was kopt constantly prepared, to tho survivors. Lieutenant Colwell lifted up tho odgo of the tent, which the gale had Mown down. A man with Rpootaclos raised his head. "Who are yon?” said Air. Colwell. There was no reply. Tho question was repeated. Then tho man said, in a hesitating way, "lamGreely.” The party of rescuers found the scene very affecting. They fonnd tho bodies of the dead buried near tho tent under a few inches of gravel. The wind blew so fiercely that when the crust was removed it blow the gravel from the bodies. All the bodies were frozen stiff and wore all easily recog nized. Allison, who died afterward, was one of the most lively of the survivors when first found.

How to Take lee. —-—> r Iced drinks should never be taken at odd times, when no food is eaten at the same time. The danphin, son ol Fran cis 1., is believed to have died from taking a glass of iced water in this way, and several other terrible examples are cited which, we fear, are little known or remembered just now. Another grand problem is whether wine should lie iced before being unoorked or mixed with ioe after it Is poured into the glass. We all know how opinions differ on this point among the unlearned publio; but the doctors clear up tho difficulty in a singlo phrase. When the bottle is iced the temperature of the drink is lowered to the same level; whereas, when ice is added by fits and starts to a it varies greatly from time to time. Now, it Is far less trying to the digestivj or gans to take a drink o! uniform than of a varying temperature, and therefore the wiso man will have his bottles iced, and abjure the tempting knobs offered for immersion in his champagne glass. Finally, the eating of ice creams should also accompany or immediately follow a meal, and be washed down, if possible, by a glass of liquor, whioh will oorreot the acidity noticeable in many of them, and also obviate the biliousness of the sweeter oompounds. —lsjndun Globe.
