I intended to wed a man with blue eyes a nd golden hair and yours are dark Resides you von arc arc twentv twenty seven seven and and a a medical student, two things I never could tolerate in the man I honor with iny h^rt and hand.” And lovely little Lot. tie Rexdal laughed a very wicked little t lau o ) n as snc she rushed l” lsuea the me end cna of 01 her Iicr red re l silk parasol into the soft soil undc-r an old apple tree, at the same time glancing saucilv SaUC,,y un f at t ^ her comnanion c0ra P anl0n ’ a a scholarly Scholarl y “w Why-lo jou w ii»k „ k met >lio rc.umcd. “Because I wanted to be made fun of, to be ridiculed by the little girl I love,’ 1 r6 l ,hed Vane Wniton, smiling sadly at the pert f young 0 lady perched on the back of a rustic garden-seat, . , her , brown frizzes . . falling roguishly into her dancing brown eyes. “Now that doesn’t sound a bit like our own grave Vane, who studies medicine and cultivates an ice cream complexion.” “An ice cream complexion?” asked Vane Winton, a little mystified. “Yes; that’s Lottie Itexdal’s term for *8 UUtlClftliY W«U|jVvj ..M. W L study away until your faces take on the hue of that sweet compouud,” answered the roguisli girl. “If you would only be grave for a while I might talk to you,” said Vane. “Yes; you know I’m such a rogue that I should put you to the blush a thou¬ sand times a day,” chimed in Lottie. “I am willing to run the risk.” “Ah! but I shall not agree to any such sacrifice. Marry some steady, sensible girl. Alice May xvill be here in one hour. Be polite, and captivate her. Miss May 1s so highly cultured and grave that she will surely not be less than sublime in your eyes. I’ll tell you-” But Vane did not stay to hear more- lie walked off, leaving gay Lottie Rexdal laughing merrily. Lottie was the ward of Vano Winton’s kind father. She had been orphaned at a very early age. A maiden aunt had then adopted her. When Lottie was but ten, and her education not half complet¬ ed, her kind relative died. But before that she had sent for Mr. Winton, her girlhood’s I lover, and made him promise ^ receive • the little orphan girl. I lie Jtind man consented; andsoLottiebe- came an inmate of Vane Winton’s home. Vane was the only child of xvealtliy parents, and at the time when Lottie came to his father’s house he was aw'ay on the Continent. When he returned three years after¬ wards he found his “ward-sister, ”as ho had called her in his letters, away at some school for girls. So it happened that Vane and Lottie had never met until six months before. Vane was a fine scholar, but he had never studied any profession. Now, at the age of twenty- seven, realizing perhaps that “it is never ^ i ate to m end,” he was fitting himself for thc ministry. Vane was trying to study at his home that summer. Sometimes he found it impossible to do so amid the tempest arou8cd by mischievous Lottie Rexdal. Shc threw °P en the . uall8cd P a "°. aad made the house ring . with her clear, bell- like notes. She filled the library with flowers, tossed up Vane’s books, and even | scribbled on them. She rode every horse on the place, romped with Prince, the great shaggy dog, tore her dresses, went bare-headed, and turned the wide hall into a skating rink. She was utterly spoiled by both Mr. and Mrs. Winton. At first Vane had been shocked. But the more he studied her original character, the more he be- — — -“• place to admiration, and that, in due time, to love. He had always felt a vague longing to discover a woman in wbogc charact er he hoped to find origi- nality and freedom from affection. If he could only teach Lottie to love him, M ~ *. He would wait patiently and hopefully, he nnwoued, ns he walked away Tak- ing a volume from his pocket, he sat doW n on a bench under an elm, and be- gan to persue lt _ Soon a merry laugh caused him to look up, f and he saw Lottie riding down the lane on her milk-whit® Floss. Very bright and piquant sho rooked in her riding habit as she drew lein beside him. “Sir Owl, I’m on my way to meet Miss Alice now; and while 1’m.gone 1 hall expect you to comb your huir, part, it in the middle, put on a clean collar, pin a flower in your buttonhole, and act very esthetic and dude-like." And with a merry laugh, she rode away. For weeks after Alice May’s arrival tho house was filled with company. Vane devoted himself almost entirely to her, leaving Lottie to amuse herself. At the frequent picnics Alice shone as the chief star of the occasion. She might be gone all day, but returned Wtth her elegant costumes os perfect as when she started, while Lottie would lose her parasol and fan, and tear great holes in her dresses, and came home with her face and hands as black as a gypsy’s. When Vane and Alice went riding, Lottie would show off Floss and jump hedges, thus provoking earnost remons¬ trance from Vane. Then the brown- eyed witch rode faster than ever, send¬ ing back gay peals of laughter to the dig. nitied couple whom she left to bring up the rear. Of late Vane thought he detected a certain recklessness in Lottie’s freaks. When going up the mountain, where it was so steep that he dismounted to lead Alice’s horse, sho galloped on, putting whip to Floss, who rushed up the rocky ascent, tearing up pebble and turf, over wide chasms, and along narrow ledges, where a single misetep would have hurled pony and girl down to instant destruc¬ tion. Vano trembled; but to hide his fears, he gave Alice his full attention. One day he went into tho library, and found Lottie seated on the window-sill. She was unusually quiet. She had been watching Alice, who, with book in hand, was promenading on the lawn below, under the shady trees. “She is very beautiful,” said Vane, looking towards the graceful figure. “I wonder if she would marry me?” “Vane Winton, haven’t you asked her yet?" “Not yet. Perhaps I shall to-day. Do you think I had better do so?” “Most certainly.” And she ran off singing Hi short merrily. a nine snc was the road on Floss at breakneck speed. After she had gone, Vane went out to Alico. “What ails Lottie?” that lady in- buired, “Lottie? I do not understand.” “As she passed me just a few moments ago to mount her pony, I spoke to her, ‘Let me go, Alice May!’ she snapped, and I noticed tears in her eyes. And then she rode off so recklessly that I am fearful she will put Floss in a bad tem¬ per.” Alice spoke lightly, but Vane’s face paled as he walked back to the house, and waited anxiously for Lottie’s return. Presently he caught sight of Floss be¬ ing led slowly back by a strange man. Then followed a carriage with two men. one of whom held a girlish figure in bin arms. “It took place down on the river road,” explained one of the men to Vane “The girl xvas riding like the wind when all at once the pony made ti plunge, and the girl landed among the rocks.” Mr. and Mrs. Winton came hurrying out, and the greatest excitement pre- I vailed. They took Lottie into the house, where it was ascertained that one arm was broken, and several ugly cuts and bruises had been received. When Lottie opened her eyes, Vano was at her side. “Go away!” she cried. “Never, darling, for I love you!” “How can you love me and marry Alice?” she pouted. “I am not going to marry Alice.” “Why, Lottie, can it be that you are jealous?” said Alice, taking her hand. “VaucuiidIdonotwanteac.il other.” “I was very jealous,” confessed Lottie, “but please don’t go away." And he did not. “When you spoke of mar¬ rying Alice, I did not care what hap¬ pened to me.” “But you refused me.” “I know it, but only to tease you.” Just as soon as Lottie recovered there was a quiet wedding, and Alice was \ bridesmaid. What He Wanted. “I want,” he said, as he helped him- self to a light lunch of cheese: “a quart of Medford rum for bathing purposes, half-a-pound of sugar, and four lemons.” “You know what I told you, Mr. Slugg,” said the grocer. ! ‘ l recall the insult perfectly, Mr. Soper; but this time I want to pay cash.” He got his goods, and was walking 1 toward tho door with them, when the grocer said: “Here you, Slugg, I thought you wanted to pay cash?” “So I do,” rejoined the other: “but, unfortunately, I can’t.”— Puck.

Flour handlers and others who use bar¬ rels are interested in a “one-stave” bar¬ rel, manufactured near Detroit. Whil« tho size and shape of this barrel are the same as the ordinary kind, the body o) the barrel consists of a single sheet ol timber held by hoops. The timber used is elm, which is cheap and abundant. Canada is the main base of supplies. The logs will be rafted over during thi season of navigation, and brought bj rail in winter time. The logs are takes from the boom or yard into the sawmill and cut into two-barrel lengths. Thencs they go into a steam chest, where thej remain until thoroughly steamed. Is this condition the log is converted inU thin sheets, or veneering, used in th« body of the barrel. By a special process a two-foot log becomes rolls of wooden sheeting in a minute’s time. There re¬ mains upon the mandrel an eight-inch core, which is utilized in making barrel heads. These sheets go next to a sand- in K machine, by whieh both sides ar, ™ dc P^riy smooth.

The New York Mail and Express says; Dr. Cyrus Edson’s opinion that tho rocenl poisoning of the crew of the bark Sy. ringa, and the accompanyiny ophthalmia, were due to the excessive use of tobacco, has renewed the fervor of the anti-tobac- conists. For years it has been known to surgeons that abuse of tobacco may lead to failure of sight, and this fact has been made use of by the anti-tobacconists, The Briiuh Medical Jotimal a few years ago published a widely quoted article on this point, in which it said: “In the report of forty cases of tobao- co amplyopia by Mr. Shears, of Liver- pool, it appears that athrophy of thc op¬ tic nerves is very rarely met with as the result of excessive smoking, although to- bncco is the essential agent in producing failure of sight. Great moderation in smoking and especially the employment of forms of tobacco, is all that is nece-- sary to insure recovery. Workmen in tobacco factories do not appear to b« subject to deterioration of eyesight.
