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. 8URI0U8 PACT*. 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 troit Free Press.

But whilo ho passed over tho news columns ns of ordinary in terest, it xvas the page of advertisements that brought out tlie greatest expres sions of xvondor and admiration. “With in this sitigiilnrly narrow space," ex claimed tlie sage, “the author has cou- triveil to collect tlie most vnliiablo information—the honorable marriages, which have taken place, the houses for sale or to let, the host works of learn ing, and, above all, the most valuable and precious medicines."

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 Now*.
