Dear old Grandma Jackson, like everybody else, had the grippe, and had it badly, too. She did not die, but she came near it. After a long time, when the doctor allowed her to creep downstairs, weak and white and wan, her poor mind was filled with the queerest notion. She thought she was making a visit at her brother’s in New Hampshire. Day after day she spent in the big rocking chair at the sitting-room room window, gazing out at the fa miliar street with wistful, dim blue eyes, and keeping up a pitiful mur mur of “Oh, if I could only go home! I know I should get better right straight off, if they’d only just let me go home!” Grandpa, in his seat opposite, worried much over her unhappy fancy. There were even moments when she did not recognize him, but bent upon him, too, the same troubled look, as if a strange face had suddenly replaced that which she had known and loved so long. “Don’t you think we’d better be talking of going home, father?” she would ask every morning in an anxious whisper. “It seems to me we’ve been here too long now, and there’s no sense in wearing out your welcome. I guess Ezra’s folks never want to set eyes on us again; And I should like to get back to Boston pretty soon. There’s all my spring cleaning to see to. Oh dear! I do want to get home!" “Well, but mother —” the old gen tleman would begin; but she went on without heeding him. “Ezra’s wife is well meaning enough, but she’s dreadfully wear ing, and that bed up in the north chamber is hard as a pine log. Now that I’m feeling poorly, seem’s as if I’d like to get back to my own bed. There isn’t one to compare it in this place—all live goose fei hers, every one of ’em! O father, I'-don’t believe I shall ever get any stronger here! Won’t you see if you can’t manage to take me home some how?” Thus she kept up her never-end ing homesick cry. The sunshiny May days came and went, the elms on the Common tossed their boughs against the bluest of blue sides, children played once more ‘in the long malls with shouts of laughter. Wandering bands flooded the air with music; the world was filled with the joy of spring time. But there were deepening wrinkles on the gentle old face beneath the soft white cap that rested on still softer white hajr. and grandma’s shriveled hands, busied knitting, trembled until the needles glittered in the sun. A note of despair had crept into her longing for home. She could see from her place at the window the Common growing green and the rush of sunshine lighting up every corner of the street to which she had come as a bride half a century before. This was the house where all her children* were them had died. In this very robm J Rachel and Martha had been mar ried many a year ago. Here boys bad clung to her'neck with tears as, one by one, they had said good-by to her and gone out into the world io make their fortunes. Loving memories were associated with the very chairs and tables. But to grandma's bewildered and failing Bight they were only strange, unfa, miliar shapes. “I wanttogo home!” shemourned still. “I want to go home!” The doctor shook his head one day, as he strapped up his case of medicines and drew on his driving gloves. Miss Lydia had followed him out into the entry. “You don’t think she’s failing, doctor, do you?” she asked, with a sudden dread. “Well, I don’t know. Her mind is wearing out her body, and if she doesn’t get over the idea that she isn't at home soon, I’m afraid she may break down under the strain. The only thing to be done is to give her nourishing food and keep her as cheerful as you can. Good morn- Jirgt” ” J l! The doctor hurried away. Miss Lydia turned slowly bM? t° tiiej Those few pad removed scales froin her eyes, as it were. She realized with pang bow worn the dear figure by the window hjui grown of late, £nd bow her mother’s strange delusion bad tightened its hold week by week. She went about her work all day with a weight at her heart, an un spoken prayer on her lips. Anxious Miss Lydia, an old maid in the old home, was returning to her parents the tender, untiring care which they had bestowed on her as a child. Through the long night she lay awake, wondering if nothing could be done to clear away the cobwebs from that poor befogged brain. In the early dawn an inspiration caiAS to her so happy that she deep sigh of relief, and fell asleep Sjly to be roused by the birds twit tering in the’ vines outside, a byoad ray of sunlight drifting Across' her face, A3 B<M4 She was dressed she hurried |pto hey mother's room and drew the curtains aside briskly, leV ting in a flood ol light and the warm, sweet morning idr, “Wed, mother,” she cried, ebeeri i Iy, “this Is a splendid day for your | journey, Isn’t It? You know you’re The Hartwell Sun. aren't going till after breakfast, are we, Lydia? I hope you'll see that your father’s ready. He's growing very slipshod in his ways lately.” “Oh, he’s at home already,” an swered Lydia. “He wants to be on hand when you get there.” So grandma rose, in a state of ex citement, to take her tea and toast and a dropped egg with a relish she had not shown since her illness. Then she was dressed as if for a journey in her best black cashmere, her camel’s hair shawl, the big black bonnet with the purple violets with in the brim, the shiny one button black gloves, her overshoes, and the little worsted work bag on her arm to hold her her handker chief and her portemonnaie. She was ready to set out. Miss Lydia took her arm and they started slowly, slowly down the long flight of stairs. She helped her down the front steps leading to the sidewalk, talk ing to her all the time about her re turn home, and keeping her atten tion away from the scenes about her. Then she helped her into a carryall that stood waiting. “I’ll warrant that when we get there,” said Lydia, after they were in the carriage, “father’ll be wait ing for us at the top of the steps.” The driver took a turn around the block, and returned to the house he had just left. “Well, here you are at last,” said Lydia. “It’s been a prettj' long and tiresome journey, but I guess you’ve stood it pretty well. ” For an instant the old lady seemed dazed. But Lydia called out: “Well, if there ain’t father, just as I said he’d be!” Grandma caught sight of him rubbing his hands at the top of the steps. “He was looking for us, sure enough!” she said. They helped her out and up the steps. All the rest of the family had been taken into the plot, Cynthy Ann, the hired girl, camp out behind grandpa. “Well, well, mother!” said grand pa, stepping forward and taking her hands in his, then stooping to leave a kiss upon the faded cheek. “It does seem nice to get you back again. I thought you was never coming, Aren't you tired after your ride? Come right into the sitting-room and take off your things.” “Well, Mis’ Jackson,” joined in Cynthy Ann, “I guess you’ll find things lookin’ pretty well. I’ve tried to keep ’em straightened out whilst you’ve been gone, but I’m mighty tickled to get you home again. Wouldn’t you like a dish rear twouw KiTrtier rest you a*>er cornin’ such a ways.” Grandma’s face lighted up with pleasure. She was led into the sit ting-room unresistingly. Glancing about with deep satisfaction she sank into her rocking-chair and drew a long breath of happiness. Lydia took off her things, then brought the white cap to tie on lov ingly, and the long, blue stocking, so that the fingers could begin their knitting-work again. Jykf'l out through the windowT*and laughed “a pleased laugh all'to herself. “Well, there’s no better place than Boston after all! I can’ tell you, father, I’pi glad to’ be hom§ again. I’ve been feeling pretty mis ; erablc, but I guess I shall begin tp pick up now I'VP got back to my own folks and my own living, though Ezra’s wife did try to make me feel at home.” She laughed again. It did Lydia’s heart good to hear her. “But there’s one queer thing about my being up at Ezra’s. I can’t seem to remember how ’twas I ever came to go there at all. And I’ve made up my mind to one thing —I'm never going there again. ” That night, when she went to bed, she drew Lydia’s face down to her own, peaceful and smiling once more. * “O Lydia!” she said, “I’m going to get better now. I’m glad to be back —glad to be back, for there’s no place like home!” —Youth’s Compan ion.

FRiDAY, JULY 7, 1893. WHERE SHE HEARD THE SIOrtY. How the Details of the Story of the Flood Caine to Be Preserved. 1 was reared in the days of black niammies. As a child I received al! my’ mammy told me without doubt or question till tho story of the ark came: then faith wavered. I was kneeding bn a stool, my arms resting on the kitchen worktable, a 5 by 10 feet receptacle for all things needful in the preparation of a meal. Mam my was opposite, cutting up a fowl for dinner in one of the enormous dishpans of that day. She gave me a full description of the flood, with all the preparations leading up to it. I was especially impressed when Noah's wife objected to the snakes coming in, but was doubly sympa thetic when she protested that wasps and spiders were more than she could stand. I grew calmer as Noah as sured her that tho latter were to go into a closet in the attic, the door to be ceiled up, and as to the snakes, they would be boxed and set away in a corner of the same attic. Other details, which need not here be given, followed till all was ready for the storm to burst. This lurid affair I will not attempt to descrilie, but as the ark began to float and its ability to ride tho waves was proved 1 breathed more freely and was ready to enjoy, as I had so often done be fore, the reaction that followed blood curdling recitals. Mammies were true novelists and generally ended their stories pleasantly, virtue and the right triumphing. But my peace was to be disturbed —a question sprang up. Long as I had known from other sources the story of the flood none of these thrill ing details had been given me. Why were they left out of sacred history, and how had mammy secured them ? I asked if she were sure of her in formation. She replied, “Perfectly sure.” After some consideration I ventured, with misgiving, to ask how sho gained her knowledge. My rebuke camo. Sho struck nn attitude which said plainly. "It is as tonishing howdullsomechildren are. ” The knife and chicken went to the bottom of the pan, Lor hands rested on her hips, and looking over and far beyond my she said, “My gre’t gre’t-gre’t-gran'mammy heer ebry wud I tell you sum whar she dun hide un’er ole Miss Nog’s bed.’’—St. Louis Republic.

Even if he had fol lowed the example of Tennyson and Macaulay,” he went on, “and called himself Lord Thomson that would not have been distinctive enough. He was celebrated as William Thom son, and he ought to have called him self Lord William Thomson.” I explained that' tha( style could be applied to a peer, as it indeed pereon so addressed belonged to a certgrfrSgaH section pf commoners. “•Yj’ell, 1 ’ he another jieculianty of the British constitution.

One of the best stories at Harvard is about President Kirkwood’s going on a temperance mission to a tavern in the neighborhood of the college. The old building still stands ou North avenue, about a mile from the col lege grounds. It is knowu as the Por ter House and in the days of stage coaches was a flourishing hotel. In Mr. Kirkwood’s day the students used to resort to the place and drink the landlord’s peculiar concoction of flip. The president decided to look into the matter, so he called at the tavern and ordered a glass of flip He drank it, smacked his lips and turned his grave face to the landlord. “So you sell my boys this stuff?” said he. -Yes, sir.” “And they drink it?” “■yeß, sir.” "WeU, I £on't blame th'em?' said the president “It is mosif excellent flip.” Washington Jfewg. ______ ThA Mfp wiw GIT» Vb TRelr Seafo. Should men keep their seats while women stand? is an oft argued ques tion. Louise Chandler Moulton, who was one of the well known authors re cently at Carnegie Music hall, terse ly replied for publication on this question: “I think that women have no right to demand or even to ex pect that men should give up their seats and stand for their sake, but 1. think the. men who do show gra cious courtesy to feminine weakness are likely to be the nicest men one knows and have a claim in our ad miration as well as our gratitude.” A SU(tU MlMake. ipurner—How did thoughtit was inspiration, THE ONLY ONE EVES PHINTSI).

The same is tree of each new one ap ncanng each week, from the Dr. Harter THE ORIGIN OF “PLUM DUFF?’ How a threat h’clid.iy DLsh of Saliurs Re ceived lt» CJucer Name. There are many traditions respect ing the origin of the name •plum duff,” the great holiday, dish of sail ors. No feast on shipboard is con sidered perfect without it. Accord ing to the story given in the history of the British navy, an English brig in the south Pacific was caught in a series of awful hurricanes. AU on board were anxious to reach a port in time for Christinas, but the holi day found them still off the Naviga tor islands. Worst of all, they had shipped a sea that carried away the hencoop containing a few chickens. When the cook saw the Christinas dinner floating in the lee scuppers and in danger of going overboard, he made a gallant charge down the slippery, sloping deck to recover it, but at that moment a great wave rose high over the bulwarks, broke with resistless fury on the very spot where he stood, and when it subsided cook and chickens had both disap peared. This unfortunate accident left the crew not only without a Christmas dinner, but without any one to pre pare an ordinary nreal. The sailors were heartily sick of “hardtack” and remembered with longing the fa mousplum pudding of merry Eng land. They determined that some how they must have a Christmas pudding and drew lots as to who should be the cook. "The choice fell on the boatswain’s mate, a brawny son of the Emerald Isle. In the galley he found an old cookbook. This he solemnly pored over in search of something promis ing, but for lack of skill or materials found nothing he dared venture upon. At last he settled upon a rec ipe which began, “Make a stiff dough.” When he readied the word dough, he said to himself, “If r-o-u-g-h spells ruff, d-o-u-g-h spells duff.” So he made the pudding, putting in some fine Malaga raisins, and served it out with a generous quanti ty of rich sauce. The sailors hailed it with delight and appreciation. “What d’ye call it f” they asked. “Plum duff,” said the proud cook. And plum duff it has remained from that day to this. —Manchester Times.

Malarial fever begins, as many acute diseases do, with a chill fol lowed by fever, which subsides after a time and is followed by a second chill. These recur at regular inter vals and give the fever one of its names, intermittent or remittent. The doctor usually prescribes large doses of quinine or smaller doses of ten repeated. The nurse must try to promote a reaction during the chill by hot bot tles or hot water bags at the feet and under the arms, covering the patient with warm flannels and giving warm drinks, warm lemonade, hot milk, etc., but no stimulant without the doctor's permission. When the fever comes on ice and cold water may be given. A cooling laxative is usually ordered, as citrate of magnesia. The body may be sponged if the temper ature is very high. A cloth wet in alcohol and bound on the forehead will help to relieve the headache, wetting it without removing it when ' it becomes dry. When the fever decreases, the in valid begins to perspire profusely. The whole person should be gently dried from time to time, a flannel nightdress put on, the room dark ened and the sufferer allowed to sleep. The doctor should be consulted, as proper treatment is necessary to pre vent, if possible, a recurrence of the attack. In all forms of fever the ef forts of both nurse and physician are directed to reducing the temperature and sustaining the strength of the patient.—Ladies’ Home Journal. Rales For Keeping the Teeth Clean. One of the most skillful dental sur geons gives these rules fur the care of the teeth: “Use a soft brush and water the temperature of the mouth. Brush the teeth up and down in the morn ing, before going to lied and after eating, whether it is three or six times a day. Use a tooth powder twice a week, not oftener, except in case of sickness, when the acids from a disordered stomach are apt to have an unwholesome effect upon the dentine. Avoid all tooth pastes and dentifrices that foam in the mouth. The lather is a sure sign of soap, and soap injures the gums without in any way cleansing the teeth- “The very best powder is of pre cipitated chalk. It is absolutely harm less and will clean the enamel with out affecting the gums. Orris root or a little Wintergreen added gives a pleasant flavor, but in no way im proves the chalk. “At least a quart of tepid water should be used in rinsing the mouth. A teaspoonful of listerine iu half ft glass of water used as a gargle after meals is excellent. It is good for * aiflßsa’riiAiai)le antiseptic. “Coarse, hard brushes and soapy dentifrices cause the gums to recede, leaving the dentine exposed. “Use a quill pick if necessary after eating, but a piece of waxed floss is better." These rules are worth heeding.

F.'ISS NANCY. She is no maid of high degree Who loves a rout or great levee, A gossip or a dish <:t tea. Like Ethel Maud de Laneey. Oh, mo: t the cares to brew and bako Jellies and Jams and raisin cake; I love them a'l for her dear sake. My sweet, demure Miss Nancy! Her hair is like a halo—gilt. Her nose it has a saucy tilt. Her voice a very skylark’s lilt. And, ob, she takes my fancy! A “vicillo mustache," I’ve won my spurs. Faced all the odds that war incurs. Yet quail beneath a frown of hers And prove myself—“ Miss Nancy.” Sometimes she Houts and scorns me, too. Taunts me that I her favor sue.

I ' The Devil’s Mountain. j ( High up in the Rogue River valley, j almost directly north from Montreal, ' is situated that singular pile of earth and stone locally known as “Devil’s mountain.” The Indians of that region call it “Mountain Devil” or “Trembling Devil.” The geologists and geog raphers know it onlv as Trembling mountain, Years the late Sir William E- Logan and company camped near the base of this singu lar peak, and on referring to it in his report Sir William mentioned sever al remarkable Indian legends which the Indians have connected it with. One of them was that the “thunder god” used to sit upon the “Trem bling Devil” fo_r three days in the spring, seven in summer, five in au tumn and two in winter; that dur ing the time of his presence great chasms would open in the sides of the mountain, from which frighful noises proceeded, occasionally tongues of flame WCri) emitted, especially dur ipg the midsummer sitting of the “thunder god.” Geologists account for the Qtigiu ( of these myths on a scientific basis and explain them by telling us that Trembling mountain is slowly sink ing jnto the earth’s crust, the “trem bling,” “quaking,” “groans” and “noises” reported being the result of (his phenomenon.
