Sho tossod the curls from her blushing face;
She softly sighed with a girlish grace,
‘I’m weary of life—it’s no commonplace,
‘‘Weary of music, forever sweet;
Rick of rose leaves beneath my feet;
Tired of the days thut themselves ropeat,’*
Faded the roses, the music Btilled;
Change has come, ns tho maiden wlllod;
Borrow the pnlso of her life has thrilled—
Borrow too deep to bo sighed away,
Where is that wearisome yesterday,
Bright with beauty too fair to slay,
Into the silence that sits npnrt, •'
Keeping watch o’er the aching heart,
Steals a thought like an arrow dart.
“Through the swift cycles of time ami space
One Is t he fate that befalls the race—
Happy lives only aro commonplace.”

LOWERING sun
rise had turned
into n bright day
after all; a brisk
October wind was
shaking down the
red leaves on tho
hill, and Lisbcth
Lockwood stood at
the door, looking
thoughtfully
around, while Bar-
bara, hor sister,
It^fWUUG’U boiled tho break
fast coileo on the stove
"So,” said she, with a curve of her
lip, “thisis tho baronial hall—this tum
ble-down old farmhouse, with a few
acres of stony soil!”
“And this," crisply retorted Barbara,
"is tho banquet—a baker’s loaf a week
old, a pipkin of oatinenl and a pot of
Rio colloc 1 But you’d hotter coine iu
and partake of it."
"Bab,” cried Lisbeth, dinging back
her tawny yellow tresses, "I never was
so disappointed iu my life!”
Bab shrugged hor shoulders.
"My opinion oxactly, Tibi” said sho.
"Hero, all our school-bves-iong,”
tragically uttered Lisbcth, “we’ve heard
of our Uncle Hopkins and Hopkins Hall I
Wo’vo looked forward to coming liumo
to an olegnnt place, to dwoll in luxury.
Weill We got a telegram ou gradua
tion day that our Uncle Hopkins has
-paid tho debt of nature, and wo. hasten
to take possession—”
"Of our inheritance!” laughod Bab,
serving out a blue-edged saucer of coarse
stony seres, tho old red horso that wo
neither of us know how to drive, and
tho cow that wo’ro both afraid of.”
“Bab,” cried the oldor sister,what
are wo to do?" , <
“Tib,” solemnly responded the
younger, "I haveu’t the least ldoa.”
Lisbcth roilectivoly sipped her coiloo.
"If wo hadn’t put on such airs nbout
being heiresses,” groaned sho, "and
boasted of going home to Hopkins Hall
to load a life of luxurious ease, we might
have secured one of those nice situations
to teach, that Miss Primrose got for the
other girls.”
“It’s too late for that now!” sighed
Bab.
Wo’vo got to do something,” said
Lisbcth.
Yes,” admitted Bab; "but what?”
Wo used to rave about art,” said
Tib; "but who would buy tho Bort of
pictures wo could paint?”
Then,” added Bab, "there was your
examination composition. Miss Primrose
said it showed great talent. If one could
take up literature—”
I.sent that to three different editors,”
interrupted Tib, sardonically smiling.
Not one of ’em would have a word to
say to it. It’s up stairs in my trunk
“Of course,’^a^orod Bab, wiping hor
eyes,' "I’vo no reason to supposo—”
"No, to-be-sure not,” nodded Tib.
‘That’s one of' foe disabilities of woman.
She's got to wait until slio's askod.
Well, wait, BafT, dear. But in tho mean
time, I’ve an idea that I pickod up iu my
before-dinner walk."
A monoy-nmking idea?” sahl Bab,
her blue eyes shining wistfully through
thoir senreely-dry mist of tears.
"Yes, a money-making idea. Tlioro
are those big sweet apples up in tho or
chard dropping down liko a rod rain—
nico tablo-nppt<js, too; uot tho poor stuff
they pick up to make cider of food to the
pigs. Why shouldn’t we put ’em in bar
rels—there arolqts in tho barn—and sell
’em at Baker’s Falls? Miss Primroso
used to pay fhree dollars a barrel for
apples no hotter than thoso.”
“Aro there many there, Tib?”
“Thousands of 'em I” responded san
guine Lisbeth. “Aud picking up npples
is easy work—work that women can do.
We’ll pack thoujao cwefully that we shall
be able to command tho very best raarkot
price. They’ro uot common, chenp fruit,
but round and rosy and full of rare,
sweet juices.- Get your hat, Bab, we’ll
go right to work."
In the cool, jfrost-touchod air of tho
old orchard, gathering tho lovely rod
spheres of sweetness into crimson heupB,
both girls soon forgot all but thoir occu
pation.
Thoir oyes shone, their choeks wore
rosier than the 'apples, and tho wind
blew tho silky tendrils of thoir hair to
and fro as if bent on a frolic.
"You're never going to climb the troo,
Bab?”
“I must?”cri<jd Barbara, lightly swing-
ing herself into tho forks, “or olso I
must lost) those benutios up at tho vory
top. Roach _nie tho backet, Tib. Oh,
you cau't imagine how perfectly lovoly
it is up here?”
Tib laughed,
“You’d have madoyour fortune ns ono
of Barnum’s acrobats," said she. "But
it you are going to takeourouly haudied
baskot. I've just got to run to tho bnrn
for another.”
Light as Atalanta's self sho sped over
tho hilly slopes, down tho bowery lane,
across the plank bridge which spannod
the little brook, to tho dreary old stone
barn behind the cedar troos.
How provoking!” she cried. "Not a

’ „ " You re at your old tricks, eh
paper. ' ■
Bab whistled—u soft little wliistlo of
dismay.
"Evidently," said she, “we're not
calculated for a career. If wo were boys
instead of girls, we could lun this
farm.”
“Oil, if! Dou’t let’s have any more
‘ifs,’" impatiently ciied Tib. "Wbut
can wo do? There’s the question.”
Bab passed hor pretty pink Unger
irouud the blue edge of tho plate before
her, witli downcast eyes and just a tiugc
of lisiug color.
“Well, since you ask the question,”
said she, half smiling, "I thiuk one of
us could perhaps—marry.”
"For a living?” scornfully demaudod
Tib. '
"Not that, of course,” said Bab.
"Merely in tho course of human events.”
"You mean Rolf Woburn?”
"I do.”
“He's a nice fellow enough,” said
Tib, indifferently. "If lie really meaus
business!”
“Lisbeth!” cried indignant Bab;
"how can you Bpeak so coarsely?"
"I’m only regarding things from the
career point of view,” said provoking
Tib. "To-be-sure, the fact that he hus
followed us out here might tie construed
to mean something. At first lie natu
rally supposed us to be the heiresses that
we supposed ourselves. But,” with a
comprehcmivo wave of her hand, "he
has seen Hopkins Hall. He is undeceived
by this time. If ever there was a dis
interested pasaioa his is one.”
"Tib!”
Bab’s eyes sparkle t wrathfuily.
“Have some more coffee, Barbara?
Not a drop? Well, I don’t binine you;
it’s poor stuff.”
"Tib,” almost sobbed poor Barbara,
"if you don’t like Rolf, I’ll give up the
idea.”
Lisbeth rushed around the edge ol
the tnble to give Bab a hug and a kiss.
“You darling 1” she cried. “Do you
suppose I'm such a jealous monster as
sit that'/ I do like Rolf Woburn as well
as I cau like any one who wants to take
my Bab away from me. But as for
tbinkiDR him good enough for you,
why, the President's sou wouldn’t bo

r task in a sort of day
rd these words:

See that old
ifl well-curb beyond?
Well, that’s where the line is project
ed." if*
Bab’s heart began to flutter.
' Would she net have known Rolf Wo
burn’s accents, had it boon in tho Desert
of Bahara?
"You—don’t—tell—mo so!” drawled
an unctuous tone, "And tho station—
they’ll have to put it pretty near hore, of
course?"
Woburn laughod lightly.
“They can’t put it anywhoro olso,"
said ho.
“Wliow I” whistled the other man.
“Iu that case, wo must somehow rnauago
to get hold of the old place—”
"A Jamil" interrupted Woburn.
"Sovn-eity acres!”
"Wlikt is it valved atl"
“At pretty much nothing,” chuckled
Woburn. “It belongs to two women,
nnd they’ve no idea what it is worth.
Nobody lias, and nobody will have, until
tho now railway is hear 1 fronr We can
buy at our own term9, foi a month or
two at least—and I cau buy cheaper than

"How’s that, eh?” Tho oily voiced
man was lighting n cigar. “Young
Oh, you sly dog 1
making
love to the girls? Is it one of them or
both—hey? Aud what will Miss Vato-
mar say?”
Woburn laughed n low, amused laugh.
"Miss Vntemir will nover know,”
said lie. “Ail this, old fellow, is iu the
way of business. Tho Lockwood girls
aro very pretty and agreeablo, and if
they choose to draw false interferences,
I can’t help it, can I? You don’t need
your measuring lino, Hale. I can tell
you the number of feet to a uicoty. Just,
here, you seo, and—”
"*The voices died uway, under tho slope
of tho hill.
Barbara Lockwood, nestling up among
tho boughs like some fair human bird-
ling, drew a quick breath. Hor eyes
shone like star^ hor cheeks blazed hot
scarlet. __ 4#
"If wo chouse to draw false infer
ences,” sho mgHmred, undor her breath.
“But I dou’t thmkfwo shall choose to do
anything of thp sort, Tib aud I. Bo wc^
are to ho used to help ou a speculation,
aro we? Perhaps thoro may bo two
opinions on that subject.”
And to the last day of her life,
Barbara Lockwood never knew quite
how sho drifted down from that tree
among tho red apples that covered the
short gros3 below. She was there. That
was all she could toll.
"I’ve brought the basket!” called
Tib, from the stile beyond.
"Never mind the basket," said Bar
bara. “I’ve something else to think of
just now.”
And two conspirators in the days of
the Guelphs and Ghibcllines could not
have held their heads closer together
than did Bab and Tib on the way back
to the old farmhouse that day.
When Mr. Woburn sauntered in, on
the edge ot the evening, the sisters were
packing red apples carefully into a row
of barrels on the kitchen floor.
He smiled that soft, caressing smile of
ids, and proffered assistance at once.
"No,” said Bab, iu a business-like
way; "we’re just through now. Mr.
Adams is to tuk'e them to town for us to
morrow. It will probably bo tbe last
money we shall ever make out of the
Hopkins Farm,’ 1
“Really?”
Mr. Woburn lifted his brows.
"Wo have sold it," said Bab, “to old
Doctor Russoli for twenty thousand dol
lars. It Booms that a now railway is to
run right through tho old sheep pasture”
—she eyed him keenly as sho spoke—
and they’ro thinking of locating tho
depot at tho north ond of the orchard.
Doctor Russoli is a good business man.
nnd thinks ho can mako a fair (lnaneial
arrangement out of it. And wo arc quite
satisfied with the terms. Don’t, look so
amazed, Mr. Woburn. You seo you were
mistaken when you believod that you
could got this place for ‘pretty much
nothing’ becauso it bolongcd to two wo
men who didn't know what it was
worth.”
Eh?” gasped poor Woburn, in soro
amazement.
Yes,”wickedly'addcd Tib; “and now
tho best thing you can do is to go back
to Miss Vatcmnr, whomever sho may be,
and tell her thnt tho Lockwood girls aro
uot in any dangor of drawing falso in
ferences from your agreeablo attentions.
Ashnllow knave, Mr. Woburn, i3 the
silliest, sort of a knave. Oh, no ex
planations, ploaso! Wo wish you n vory
good ovening I”
Aud so Rolf Woburn’s great railway
land speculation foil through, and Bah
Lockwood escaped heartirco.
"And if we’re uot heiresses, nftor ail,”
said cheerful Tib, "wo’ro independent,
and that.’B quite as good.”—Saturday

Strango Eyes of Bees.
Tho directness of tho bee’s flight is
proverbial. Tho shortoBt distance bo
twcon nny two given points is callod a
bco-lino. Many obsorvera think that tho
immouso eyes with which tho insect is
furnished greatly assist,if they do not en
tirely account for, tho arrowy straight
ness of its passage through tho air.
Evory bee.has two kinds of eyes, tho
two large compound ones, looking liko
hemispheres, on either side, and the
three simple ones which crown tho top
of tho head. Each compound oyo is
composed of 3500 facets—that is to say,
an object is reflected 3500 times on its
surface. Every oco of thoso focots is
tho baso of a hexagonal pyramid, whose
apex Is fitted to the head. Each pyra
mid may bo termod an eyo, for each has
its Own iris and optic norve.
Ilow thoso insects manago this mar
volous number of oyos is not known.
They aro immovable, but mobility is un
necessary becauso the range of visioni
afforded by tho position and tho number 1
of tho facets. They have no HOb, but
are protected from dust and injury by
rows of hairs growing along the linos at
the junction of tho facets. Tho simple
oyos ora suppose to have boon given tho
bee to enable it to aoe abovo its head
when intent upon gathering honey from
tho cups of flowers.
Probably this may be ono reason, but
it is likely there aro other uses for them
not yet ascertained. A bee flios much
in tho game way as a pigeon—that is to
say, it first takes an upward spiral flight
into the air, and then darts straight for
the object in view. Now an oxperi-
mentor on insect nature covered a boos
simple eye with paint and sent it info
tho air; instead of darting straight oil
after rising, it continued to ascend.
Apparently, theu, thoso eyes aro used iri
some measure to direct the flight,—Poar-

Out Continent’* Many Names.
In these quadro-centennial day3 it is
worth while to recall tho fact that the
continent now named America has gone
at ono tirno or another by a great many
names. The notion that Columbus held
of finding a westward passage to India
by way of the Atlantic is recorded by
tbe name New India and India Occi
dental, found upon old maps as indicat
ing the land discovered by Columbus.
America Mexicans was an old uarao of
North America, os America Peruviana
was of South America. Then Brazil was
for a time tho uame applied to the
Southern continent.
Finally the origin of tbe name
America has been gravely disputed,
though the weight of testimony leaves
practically no doubt that it comes from
the Christian name of Amerigo Vespucci.
Borne early authorities, however, gravely
contended that tho name came from the
Peruvian word Amaru, meaning 1 he
sacred symbol of tbe cross, made of u
serpent and a stick, and the suflix ca,
meaning country. Thus derived,
America moans tho laud of the holy ani
mal.—New York Advertiser,
Rhakospoaro aays “there aro more things In
heaven amt earth than aro dreamed of In onr
philosophy." Tho fall of meteors on Wodnes-
diiy night tvan quite a wonder to tho generation
and mado the young poople serious and solemn.
Tornadoes and Hurt liquate s nnd comets and
meteors aro always alarming, for tlioy bring
homo to us our utter holplcssuoss under tho
mighty hand of God. From 8 o’clock until
nonr midnight wo watched these meteors,
Part of tiio time we were standing out in the
freezing air, hut most of tho tirno wo looked
through tho uncurtained windows, ond there
was hardly a moment that, tlioy wore not Been
somowhorn in the heavens. I hnpod for an
other visitation liko that of 1883, which I dis-
tinotly remember, for my father awaked me
and dressed mo hurriedly and we all Rtood
in tho pinz/.a ami watcliod and wondered for an
hour or inoro. They Reeinod sure enough liko
falling Btars and camo down in myriads ss
gently as snowflakes. They nearly tonohed the
earth before they wont out, and I remomber
hunting nround in tho potato patch noxt morn
ing for some sign of them, but found none.
If tliero was any heat in their glittering light
there was no sign of it in tho treo tops among
tho leaves. I remember that Anut Miuty, our
good old cook, prayed and oxhorted long and
loud, and a white woman across the street
screamed out: “Como, Lord Jesus; take me,
Lord Josus. God, save us; God, forgive us,"
and Bho was kneeling on tho door with
hor hands stretched tip towards heaven.
I remember that Mrs. tester, the widowed
mother of onr late attorooy general, livod very
near us nnd came over to our house, stooping
as sho oamo for fear tho stara would touch her.
I remomber that my father was calm aud serene
and gave us all aeHuranoo that thero was no
danger, for he waa a well rend nmn and know
that such phonomana had happened several
times before and did no harm. Hevoral times
within tho past century there had been a fall of
meteors on tho same date, tho 18th of Novem
ber, but none so brilliant or that camo so near
tho earth.
It was in August 1854 that wo woro awakened
about 2o’olook ono night by tho crowing of tho
cooks for daybreak nnd our nogroca got up and
fed tho stock anil prepared to go to the field
when our attention was attracted to tho clock
ami on going out to seo what was the matter wo
found It ns bright ns day and llio aurora borealis
was flashing a hi llliatit light that illuminated
tho heavens and tho eartii. Huoh things aro al
ways alarming to the timid and the ignorant.
I heard Professor Prootor, the arost astronomar,
dolivi r threo lectures at Lako Woir a few years
ago and ho lifted me up on thought among tho
starry hoavens and made us roailzo our own
nHignillcanco ss ho approaohod tho very con
iines of otornity nnd told us of things wo had
never dreamed of. Ho was a groat and good
man and I loved him ns muoh for his humility
ss his learning. Ono night he lectured on the
birth andwgrowth and maturity and decay
of a world, and ho proved by tho most convincing
nrgninont that this world had long since passed
its maturity and was in tho deolinonnd that the
scriptures would bo fulfilled nnd this earth he
burned up and pass out of existence. He said
that worlds had passed away and that worlds
Imd oomo into existence since tho Christian ora
nnd thnt, comets had appeared that had no
record in tho past—that creation was uot finished
hut was changing and thia iittlo world of ours
vbb but a speck in tho universo. Ho said that
f a straight lino from the eye was drawn nnd
extondod in any direotion ft would sooner or
lator he stopped by a heavenly body.
Wo oan onjoy this and bo amazed but whon a
oyciono oomes along or an earthquake begins
to rock tho Iittlo world about, there 1b no phil
osophy Hint can make ns calm and serene. Wo
dou’t understand Iheso systems of nature nor
can wo fortify against them. I never saw a
man or woman who was not superstitious about
ghosts and it is because of tuo mystery that
gangs around tlio dead—where are the spirits?
Where liod Hamuel been whon tho witch of
Endor oillod his spirit up—what kind of virtue
was in the hones of Elijah that brought to life
the dead man who was buried in his tomb?
What kind of spirits were roving about distress
ing good pooplu until thoy were sent into the
swines and the Bwino into the soa? If wo knew
where wo were going wo could bo less troubled
no matter how torrihlo our fate. It is the
mystery that, hangs around that undiscover
ed country from whioh no travelor returns,
wish that wo all had llio faitli of tho little boy
that I know whose mother aHked him whore ho
thought heaven was and replied promptly,
“why, it’s over at grandma’s houBe." “Ah! no, 1
she said, “heaven isn’t there at all. What made
you think that?"
“Well, it isn’t more than about a mile from
there,” he Baid. Grandma was .enough heaven
for him.
This seems to bo an off year anyhow. A year
of surprises- Just a few weeks ago and every
thing looked lovoly for tho republicans nnd dis
tressing to tho farmers but Mr. Oolvoland bent
,iit tho administration and all its patronago to
the surpiiso of even tho most snnguino demo
crats, Bight on top of this cotpon Jumped from
7 to t) cents and the Now England manufactur
ers of the groat staple raised tho wages of thoir
cqiorativos 7 per cent. Tho republican party
tried before the election to make tho country
believe that wages had already been raised un
der tho McKinley bill, hilt these operatives knew
it was a lie. Mr. Cleveland’s election or some
thing lias raised them and tho capitalists seem
to havo received new confidonco In tile stability
of monotary affairs. Htncks havo advanced
and everything lo ikB lovely. And now comes
shooting etars and the aurora borealis and. a
comet nnd I reckon Governor Ncrthon will got
up an appropriation for tho world's fair and tho
legislature will buy tho Soldiers' II llio and we
wlUsoou bs building mono railways all oyer tho

party and driven politics out of the alliance and

RELIAULD HECIPKS.
It is n great mistake to mnke a lnrgo
tea biscuit. Properly speaking, a tea
biscuit stiiiiihl not be more Ilian ft,wo
inches in diameter and proportionately
thick whon baked. This gives a deli
cate, moist, flaky biscuit which will bo
cooked through before the outside crust
has become lmrcl or over brown. Many
of tho mufibi-tiiis are too large to cook
thoroughly through before tho crust
hardens. In such a case it, is a good
plan to dampen Die upper (trust wltilo
the muffins are hot by laying a wot doth
over them and covering it. with a dry
chilli. Cookies, on tho other hand, may
well be of liberal diameter, as they are
rolled out so thin Hint thoir size does not
prevent their cooking through,
Tho season of apples is at its height,
and winter apples arc stored away for
cold weather. The best way to keep
choice apples is to wrap them singly in
papers and put them in a light barrel in
a cool, dry place till they are needed.
Greenings nnd other hardy winter apples
keep well enough in barrels without
being wrapped up separately, but all
barrels, except the ono you are using out
of, should be beaded up closely, and it is
well enough to keep a tight, movable
cover over the ono from which you aro
taking your daily supply. No fruit Iorcs
flavor f rom being carelessly handled more
quickly than apples. Apples which linvo
been well stored retain thoir flavor
throughout tho winter, but those which
have liccti allowed to lie nliotit with de
caying specimens, or aro stored loosely in
barrels, cither lose thoir flavor ornequire
n rank taste from the conditions around
them.
There are few better [lies than the fa
miliar apple-pie, whon it is properly
baked, flavored and served; yet a more
tasteless and unwholesome compound is
seldom found on our tables than this fa
miliar disli when it lias been carelessly
put together and improperly baked. Tho
crust of the apple-pio should be of the
dauticst pastry, but whatever it is it
should bo browned. The pale apple-pie,
which speaks of nightmares, is a tiling to
lie avoided by all people who have not
the digestive powers of an oBtrioh.
it requires fifty minutes in a quick
oven to bake an apple-pie. It
should bo baked on a tin plato or a pinto
of somo metal which will conduct tho
heat properly so that the pie will be
browned—never in an earthen pie-plate.
Tho apples should he juicy aud well
flavored. They should bo sliced thin,
and lumped high in tho centre of tho
pic, in order that they may lie cooked
through and tho juice will not run out at
tho ctlges. The upper crust must lie luid
on lightly, if you wisli to sweeten and
season your pie after it is cooked, as all
the old-fashioned housekeepers did. No
apple pie baked with the sugar iu it is so
delicious as ono sweetened afterward by
removing the crust and adding sugar, a
very little butter, and nutmeg or cinna
mon as you wish. French and German
cooks use cinnamon, but the Now Eng
land apple pie is usually flavored with
nutmeg.

is derived from the nnciont Orieutal etts
tom of making the gates of cities and of
kings’ palaces places of assembly iu con
nection with tho affairs of government
and of tho administration of justice.
Tho Turks found the term in common
use among the Byzantines some time pro
vious to thoir establishment of Constan
tine, and adopted it on the organization
of their Empire. The use among Eu
rapean nations of tbe French term Sub
lime Porte (lofty gate) is accounted for
by the fact that Frenoli is the language
of European diplomacy.—[Detroit Free
