Rut evil days woro too surely at

It made Mrs. Titus very cross to lio
In bed, inactive, and she could not givo
up the oversight of the kitchen below.
A score of timos a day she would
call Janet from her Work to know
what she was at, and what she intend
ed doing next. Countless orders is
sued from her chamber.
Those idiosyneracles added greatly
to Janet’s fatigue, as she toiled through
the day, and she actually sobbed with
weariness one night, when sho com-
“I'll have to do everything alone!"
Little Janet liao stood with arms

terms of tho contract when Janet had
been taken from the orphan asylum, a
f iny creature of ten, nine years before;
and it was tho hard work and scant
fare which had prevented hi'r growing.
There she stood, looking about her
at tho array of cooking utensils, the
rows of milk-pans, the pile of wash-
tubs, tho shelf of llat-irons, the capa
cious wood-boxes.
That morning Mrs. Titus, the au
thoritative, the energetic, had fallen
down tho cellar-stairs and broken her
leg. The doctor had been called, and
set it; Mrs. Titus had had n nap, and
then lifted up her voice and proved
herself equal to the situation;
sleeves, his linen duster over his arm.
Ilow rich, and prosperous, and hap
py he was!
Janet did not desire to dispossess
Mr. Dent of his good-fortune, but sho
thought it hard that a little of tho
brightness of life could not be hers.
Rut when Mr. Dent camo opposite
the shed-door, the happy light died out
of bis pleasant gray cyos.
Well it might. Janet did not dream
what a pitiful sight her poor little
tear-stained face was.
Mr. Dent spoke cheerily.
"All work and no play makes Jill a
dull girl, doesn’t it?" he said, taking

"Stop, Airs Titus!" interposed Mr.
Dent's heavy voice. "Better not go
too far. Janet has told you all (hero

hare a pair of strong arms which have
helped her a little. And they are still
at hor service. They shall be hers for

accept me fora husband? Many it

.And Janet—she looked onco with
hor wide, innocent eyes into the strung,
gentle face, then went straight into
those extended arms, though Mrs. Ti

"Well, 1 nover!" she exclaimed. "To

Janet never was scolded again.
Those kind, strong arms havo been

her the most elegant of women. Tho

md her arms grew so tired at the
'•burning. She had been trained to
great capability; but sho was not
strong enough.
iJut there was no time for rellection.
There was supper to got for the four
farm-hands, Mrs. Titus’ gruel to make
mil carry up, the milk to strain, the
lislies to wash, the wood-boxes to fill,
md sponge to be sot lor bread.
Janet rushed for a pail of water.
Mr. Dent was at tho well.
Air. Aliles Dent was the summer
murder. He bad bought a mill privi-
ege of Airs. Titus and was building a
mill.
Ho was a handsome, very pleasant
man as perfectly healthy people are
apt to be, and be was very large and
trong. In age he might have been
thirty, or thereabouts.
"Very old, indeed,” Janet bad pro
nounced him; and she had always been
> little afraid of him, his manners were
o nice, and lie bad such nieo books in
a is room.
Whether ho was aware of her exist
ence or not, she was not quite suro.
Rut he seemed to see the hurrying,
anxious little creature now—for, say
ing "My arms are tho strongest,” he
look the pail, filled it and carried it
into the kitchen.
“Have your hands full, haven't you,
little one?" he said pleasantly, glanc-
And while lie was doing all this, Mr.
Dent was thinking what a dear little
patient thing sho was, and bow pretti
ly the nut-brown hair curled over her
| head.
At night be filled tho boxes with
wood, strained the milk, wound the
high clock and turned the cats out; and
I all day he had bad a jest for every
thing, and a genial glance and a kind
one, that turned darkness into light
for Janot.
She sighed with happiness as she
I went to sleep, though Mrs. Titus’
! good-night word had been that “site
was a la/y, good-for-nothing thing!”
| and that she "should be down stairs
to-morrow to see what Janet was up
| to.”
'The northeast storm continued, and
Mr. Dent was sitting by tho (ireagain,
when Airs. Titus limped into the
kitchen with a cane.
Now, Air. Dent had just been chop
ping mince-meat, with Airs. Titus’
gingham apron and rutiled cap on, and
had barely cast them aside, when the
lady opened the door and caught Janet
laughing.
She might well have looked amazed,
for she never had seen Janet laughing
before. Now, why she probably could
not have told, but Airs. Titus was very
much offended.
She waited until dinner was served,
and Janet had gone into the well-room

The Third Section Got Well.
VYhen the great Majendio assume l
the professor’s chair of medicine at the
College of France, he thus addressed
the astonished students: "Gentlemen,
medicine is a humbug. Who knows
anything about medicine? 1 tell you
frankly, I don’t. Nature does a good
deal; doctors do very little—when
they don’t do harm.” Majendio went
on to tell the following pungent lit
tle professional tale out of school:
"When I was head physician at the
Hotel Lieu i divided the patients into
three sections. To one I gave the
regulation dispensary medicine in the
regulation way; to another I gave
bread, milk and colored water, and to
the third section 1 gave nothing at all.
Well, gentlemen, every one of tho
third section got well. Nature invar-
ibly came to the rescue.”

The Smallest Wnleli in ||i<- World.
A small, gold penholder, resting in
a rich velvet case, lay on a jeweller's
showcase in John street. The end ol
the holder was shaped like an elongat
ed cube, and was an inch long. A
faint musical ticking that issued from
it attracted a customer’s attention.
Tho jeweller lifted the bolder from the
case, with a smile, and exhibited a
tiny watch dial, 1-JGtb of an inch in
diameter, set in the side between two
other dials almost as small. One indi
cated the day, and the other the month
of the year. The centre dial ticked oil
seconds, minutes, and hours.
“This is the smallest watch ever
made," the jeweller said, "and the only
ono of its kind in the world. It took
a Geneva watch maker the better part
of two years to fit the parts together
so that they would work accurately.
It has been exhibited m London and
Paris.”
The works of the watch were so
that they fitted lengthwise in the bold
er. The mainspring was an elongated
coil of steel fitted to the wheels bv v
tiny chain, and worked like an old-
fashioned clock weight. The works
were wound by means of a little
screw of gold on the under side of the
handle. A gold pen was fitted in the
holder, and the jeweller wrote with it
without disturbing the operations of
the fairy watch.
“What’s the price?” the customer
asked.
“A round $500,” replied the jewel
ler, laughing.—New York 8inn.

Vogel able Oils for Cooking.
Some few years ago a Philadelphia
firm canned cotton seed oil to bo used in
cooking purposes instead of lard, butj
owing in lack of proper appreciation by
, Northern cooks and the prejudices of>
many housekeepers the enterprise failed.;
We fail to see why animal fats aro noj
extensively used in cookery instead of
the more benllhful vegetablo oils; the
biller are cleaner mid quite freo from
dise is.) ■ - nns of all kinds, which cannot
be ! aid of many grades of so called lard[
found in the grocers’ Htores. When
honied, Ibe common grades of lard emit
a disagreeable odor, which permeatesth«
house and polls ibe flavor of the food
cooked in it. Many of the downtown
n .Imi ran Is use lard for cooking pur
pose 1 -, which, when on the range, emits
a stem h that drives all Iboiu'hts of
dining out of our minds, and wo seek a
more appetizing resort. The unpleasant
sillily smell of bakeries is attributed to
their constant use of lard.
Cottonseed oil is extensively manu
factured in the South, whero it is much
used in cookery, and there is no good
reason u by it should not eventually su-
persedc hogs’ lard everywhere, it is not
only moie economical, but it is decided
ly more healthful, being less liablo to
adulterations. Put up in air tight cans,
it is less apt to come in contact with for
eign impurities than the barrel of lard
found in the groceries. Ono can get
lard put up in tins, which is usually pure,
but even I lie very best of hogs’ lard does
not meet the requirements necessary to
give it preference over vegetable oils.—

Bow IVppcrs Grow.
While at Penang, writes a correspond
ent of an exchange, my gliarra Oliver
took me to see a Chinese pepper planta
tion. Pepper is a very profitable crop.
The vine begins to bear in three or four
years lifter the cuttings have been plant-
id, and yields two crops annually for
about thirteen years. It is an East
Indian plant, rather pretty, but of
r milling and untidy growth, a climber,
with smooth, soft stems, len or twelve
feet long, ana tough, broadly ovate leaves.
l is supported much as hops are. When
the berries on a spike begin to turn red
tin y arc gathered, as they loose pun-
geiicy it they are ullowo 1 to ripen. They
, ie placed on mats, and are either trod
den with the feet or rubbed by tlio hands
to separate them from the spike, after
which they are cleaned by winnowing.
Black popper consists of such berries
wrinkled and blacked by the process of
drying, and white pepper of similar ber
ries freed from the skin and tho fleshy
part of the fruit by being soaked in
water ai d then rubbed.
