Could never nmko my business succeed,

And always being there
It wouldn’t pay and worried me inctad,

1 to^sinl upon my bed
Endeavoring to think out my mistake, take,

Why 1 with vim and health
And means of gaining wealth,
Could never, like my neighbors, money
make, make, make.
At last. I thought it out,
1 noticed those about
Who advertised wore getting lots of gold,

While those afraid to try
Were loft the same iw I,
Because our business methods wero too old,

I kicked my sol f at once

Then in the pap ts kept a glowing ad., ad.,

Of course began to pay—

liV ESTUEIt SKULK KENNUTtl,
Y unuio is Bridget
Flinn, miss, nnd
1’vo washed for tho
Surf House six
years.
Only through tho
summer s o a s o D,
though.
Tho city peoplo
begin coming down
in June, and sel
dom stay latoi thnn
September. But
the work I do for them during u that
time is a great help to my family, miss.
My old rami is notrtrougj he has a rlreu-
rnr.tie fever every spring, and I’ve got
eight children.
I do my work well, do you say?
Thank you, miss. I trios to do well by
them as does xvcll by me, as I used to
tell Miss Moore.
Who was Miss Moore? A blessed
young lady, miss, ns ever I set oyea
upon. fiho xvns here at tho shore last
year. Pretty? No; but shn had a
beautiful soul. It was her hidden heart
that was pretty. What would you
think, miss, of a lady delicato and
dainty as the very whilo clouds in the
sky, that would come into a poor plnco
like mine, and help nurse two children
through the scarlet fover? And that's
wlmt .Miss Grace Mooro did, miss. She
did,indeed! May tho saintsgivoher restl
Dead? No I Whatever out that in
your head, miss? Iudoed sho’s not
'lend. She’s a living—the light of her
husband's eyos. Ah I it’s quite a story
I could (ell you, miss, if you sit down
and hide a hit in this poor place of mine.
\ on d he glad to? It's very kind of you
to say il, it is. And if you'll not mind,
miss,'I'll iron a bit whilo I am talking.
I can talk easier so.
The hot weather commenced early last
year, if you'll please fo recollect, miss.
\\ o had right sultry days the first of
•J uue.
“This weather will drive out the city
folks,” says Jerry, my man. “You’d
better go up to tire hotel Biddy, and see
who’s comu.”
So that evening I went up to the Surf
Bouse, and Mr. Appleton, ho who kept
it, said yes, there were people in 42 and
27 and 34. I went up and knocked at
the doors. 42 was out, 27 had engaged
a washerwoman, but 34 (that was MI33
Grace Moore) she scemod very glad that
I had come, and hid her maid, Felice,
atli ad to me.
I don't think Miss Mooro drew mo
much at first. You soe she wasn’t gay
and handsome, like the young ladies I
was used to seeing. At first sight she
was small and gentle-looking, with a
rather salloxv skin anil large blue eyes.
Iler hair was short and light, and fluffy
and soft over hor head like a child's.
Her dress was simple and her mannor
very quiet nnd composed. But I thought
it kiud of her that night to bid me sit
down nud get resto I while the maid
picked up the clothes aud made out a
list of the pieces. That’s the way I like
to have people do, and then therc'9 less
mistakes. Every one doesn’t mark their
clothes, and when a body washes for so
many people the things get mixed some
times aud make trouble.
But Miss Moore's clothes—everything
was delicate and fine and beautiful—
were marked with pretty embroidered
letters; her handkerchiefs, especially,
were just frostwork.
Well, Miss Moore engaged me to do
her washing regular. She was going to
slay all summer, she said, and I counted
on a pretty penny from her. We poot
folks have to thin If of then things, miss.
But it wasn’t more than a fortnight after
that that my t wo youngest children took
the fever nnd came down sorely sick, and
Jerry lying abed xvilh rheumatism, and
no oue to do a turn for me, my eldest
daughter being out at scrvico forty miles
away. It was right hard on me, coming
right in tho busy season, aud wo all
counting on the penny I was to earn, and
that we neededmow ntoro than ever; but
t was xvorso thfc all to aee how bad
them children sjAened. It was tho baby
aud Httlf Mag. ^Whcn the doctor first
Iftnjtttjt i&fhtlc .Mag’s throat, ho shook
his hc^&P^yijR child noods vorv (rood
care,” Su$(Hte. Then he cxnminod tho
baby. “I'll do tjm belt I eau for thorn, ”
said he,' and wont away.
Heavou kuow#ray heart was with my
children, but wo had to havo bread to
cat, nnd thoro was no ono to do a stroke
of work but mci“ 1 worried nlong threo
days and uiglits, pud then I sat down be
side the trundle bed, whore them sick
children lny, and cried. Just then little
Peter calls out that thoro was a carriage
at tho door.
In a minute in comes Miss Mooro. She
bad come to soe why hor clotlios worou’t
flonc; but she just commenced speaking,
snd then stopped, looked around, and
some straight tq$ny side.
“You ato fulffiof trouble," said she.
“Your children are sick. Poor little
things I"
Bbo was all infsvhite, and she lookOd
like an angel to Bn then. I hardly know
what she was doing—she was so quiet
md quick, and J xvas so dull with work
»nd want of slatp—before sho had off
aor bounet aud jaequo, nnd xvas sitting
bosido tho bed bathing tho fever away
from them children. Aud thoro that
iweet young lady staid,in my poor place,
lor throe days.
If good nursing could have saved ray
inby, lift'd have lived, but I hoard tho
doctor tell Miss Moore that there wus
sard I y a chance for him from tho start.
Don’t mind me, miss; I must cry a bit;
ais grave is green yet. Thoro, I am
better now.
Ah, if you could havo seen my poor
'baby in Ills coffin! Miss Mooro brought
lowers nnd flowers,*" and he was just
lyiug in a bed of rosoft. A lady's child
joukln’t havo looked sweeter thnn did
my poor little one when ho was ready to
bo put away flops bis mother’s kiss.
Little Mag, slio got well, though tho
doctor hadn’t oipoctod it. Miss Moore
—bless her—paid his bill.
Well, that sad suininor xvas wearing
sway. I’d got strengthened a bit, aud
was at my work again, when ono day a
man came on horseback to my door witli
y valise, of gentleman's linen to bl
washed. It was to lie returned to the
Ciliff House, farther up the beach.
*
Tno stiirts wore iTl marked “Q. Ever
son.” I remember that I was a sprink-
ling them, lvhsu Miss More rode by on
her pony. Sho looked in at tho open
door ns sho passed, aud said;
“Don’t work too hard, Mrs. Flynn.”
I looked nfter her—bless her!—as she
rode away, and it came to mq that somo
lorrow had visited her young lioart, or
iho never could bo so sympathetic with
tlioso in trouble. It isn’t natural, you
see, miss, for young folks to know wlmt
mffering means—not generally. They
And out by and by.
All, how strange things will happen I
The next day I started off for the Cliff
House with tho basket of linen. Ono of
tho waiters told me that Mr. Everson’s
room xvas No. 18, and I’d find his valet
there, if he wasn't in. 8o I found tho
door, aud knocked.
A very polite Frouchmau oponed the
door, but he wasn’t Mr. Evorson, only
his servant. Mr. Everson wus sitting in
in casy-chair by the open window, read
ing, a great dog at his feet. Ho just
glanced up as I came in, and seemed to
see that I was trembling witli my load.
“Take tho basket from the woman,
Louis,” said he, and then took no more
notice; nnd I got n good look at him
while he was reading.
Ho was well over thirty years old,
lark and reserved-looking, and with a
lort of sad, tired look, as if there was
jothing in tho world lie cared very much
lor.
Tho Frenchman was taking the clothes
sut of the basket pis haody as a woman,
when all at once he cries out:
“A ineostakc! Ah, you mako a moo
itake, you woman,” and brings mo one
sf Miss Moore's haudkorchiofs, which
lomehow I’d got mixed with Mr. fiver-
ton’s. ' '
I don’t romembor, but I think I must
have mentioned Miss Moore’s name, for
Everson starts out of his chair and takes
the harjdkorchicf right out of my hand,
snd looks at it, Thou ho turned quite
white aud wild like.
“Is she here? Is Miss Grace Mooto at
the shore here?” ho asked, with a look
as if he’d look me through.
I just told him she was—that she was
it the Surf House—and came away.
The next evening I was sitting alont
on my door-stop in tho moonlight, when
a carriage xveut slowly by in tho road.
Who was in it but Mias Mooro nnd Mr.
Everson? The wind xvns blowing xvest,
nnd brought the words he xvas speaking
right to our ears:
Hor spoil resolved into its original
elomcut9, a cunning knowledge of hu
man nature nud tho arts of tho toilet,
nud I xva9 disenchanted in n month. 1
have hungered nnd thirsted for you
for three years. Can you forgive me,
darling!”
Well, then, I somclioxv understood
that ho xvas her lover, and had boon un
faithful; nud 1 xvns right, for in Soptein
teinber they weut to Now York and wort,
married.
Miss Monro grow pretty that summer,
atul Mr. Everson lost all ills languid,
tired look. Just before they went away
I happened to mention about the baud
kerchief.
“Ah, Mrs. Flinn," said Mr. Evorson,
“that was. a very happy mistake ol
yours."
And lie slipped a piocc of gold into
little Potor's hand that paid our rent fo«
nearly a year. And no .v, miss, they are
fast married, and happy, I bcllovo, ns
tho day is long.---Now York Weekly.

Faolal Peculiarities.
Tho other afternoon I was in the studio
of a xvoll-knowu photographer. Witli
mo was an artistic friend who called my
attention to a peculiarity of tho photo
graphs arranged around‘tho walls. Thoro
were pretty women in abundance, and
children and men of ail kinds of poses
and costumes.
“Did you ever notice,” said my friend,
“tlmt nine out of ton of tho pictures ouu
sees show tho loft side of the fnco?"
“No," I answered, “I never did, nor
can I imagine xvliy such should be the
case."
“There is a very good reason for it,
which lies in tho fact that in tho vast
mnjority of cases tho left side of tho fnco
is the good-lcqking side. Every photo
grapher knows this aud takes advantage
of it. Now look around tho room and
see if it is not as I toll you.”
A careful investigation showed mo tho
absolute correctness of my friond’s ob
servation. In tho whole studio there
were not more than half n dozen photo
grapliB showing the right side o f tho
face, and none of them seoiuei to lie at
all flattering.
“On tho other hand,” continued tho
artist, “if you want to got at tho roal
strength nnd chainctor of a person’s face
study tho right side of it—tho ugly side,
as portrait painters soinotimes call it.
There you will find tho lines bold and
harsh, with ovory defool, accentuated.
Ou tho left aide, however, everything is
softened down aud tho face is nt its
best.
“Whenever you suspect, a man of trick
ery or deceit, and this rule applies oqunlly
to tho fair sox, stand on their right aud
watch the expression closoly. There
novor yet was an actor skilful onougli to
cover up tho marks of his real person
ality, which are stamped by nature for
the man who likos to rend, on the right
•ide of tho fnco.”—Now York Herald.
The Warmth Not in the Clethe9.
It is a mistake to supposo there is any
warmth in clothes. Animal heat is tho
direct result of changes going on within
the body itself. Nutrition by foo l and
tho discharge of energy by exorcise are
tho efficient causos of hoot. Clothe!
“soom” good and warm because they
prevent the cold air and objects with a
capacity for lienl which surround tho
body from attracting t'10 heat generate I
with its organism. The clothing is sim
ply an insulator. It follows that it
Should he light in weight, and above all
things that it should permit freo and full
circulation of blood through every part
of the systom—to tho end of linger and
toe—and that tho muscular apparatus of
the extremities should bo in porfect xvork-
ing order. If xvo will wear foot cover
ings, whotlior boots or stockings, xvhic'i
compress tho feet and render the sopnrato
notion of each toe impossible, it issimpiy
absurd to oxpcct to bo warm-footed.
Heat is tho complement of work and
nutrition, nud if a part o’f tho organism
is so bound that it cannot work and its
supply of food is limited it must bo cold.
The resort to stouter and heavier cloth
ing under such circumstances is simply
ridiculous. Generally it is the stocking
that compresses the feet. The garter
acts as a ligature aud diminishes tho
blood supply, xv'nilo the stocking itself
ucts as a bandage and impedes the circu
lation throughout the extremities.—Do

long before man knew how, and by very
much tlie same process by whicli mim
manufactures it uow. In fact, oil tho
whilo that people in tho oldon times wero
using wood nud stone arid brass, the
linrk of trees, and tho skins of animals,
this little insect was making a fair bcttci
material.

bundle, adding to them us they movo
from place to place. You will find It
very unliko tho wood gnawed by other
insects. Tlioy bruise these fibers into a
sort of lint, before ustug them, with
their mandibles or jaws, preferring old
ami dried xvood. After this bruising
process they uso u sort of glue, which
they eject from thoir mouths, to fuston
them together, then they knead it into a
sort of paste, like papier mu she, making
it into a bill I xviiich afterward they tram

Balloon ol Homan Hair.

proposes to mako a balloon of human hair
which will bq forty feet hfgh when in
flated aud thirty foot xvide at the base
xvhon in motion, but still capable of
being compressed to the h!zo of an ordi
nary rubber ball and carried in tho
pocket. Human hair is to lie used be-
ciiuso it is the most perfect conductor of,
electricity which is to bo the motive,
power. Tho baloon will bo so light and
strong that tho wildest storm cannot
turn it from its course. It will fly a mile
iu n fow seconds, and in its ribs of hair
will curry messages, to bo delivered
plionographionlly. Its movements will
bo regulated witli precision by means of
a sxvitchboard in a dark room woll sup
plied with mirrors.

Ho had acquired some knowle.lgo of tho

most lively delight. But whilo ho passed
over tho news columns ns of ordinary in

that brought out tlie greatest expres
sions of xvondor and admiration. “With

E. Davidson Palmer has mado public
some new and interesting facts in con
nection with voice production. The gen
eral impression about the “falsetto"
voice is that It is unnatural and should
never be used. It is supposed to be uso 1
only lit tho upper extremity of tho vocal
compass. It is qulto possible to produce
it at a much lower pitch (at least an oc
tave lower) than that at which singers
aro ever taught to uso it. What people
do not know is that it may be developed
at this low pitoh, and not only developed,
but completely transformed. When thut
transformed it loses ontirely its unnatu
ral and effeminato charactor and becomes
n strong, manly voice, which is easily
mistaken tor “chest voice." but which,
unlike that kind of voi co, is capable of
bon ring throughout iin whole rang6 any
strain that may put upon It.—Chicag i

There is but one specimen of Brownia in

oue blooming in Europo was that at the
