The Pink nurse, Zie called her.
And that settled it. After that it
was no longer Annie Durrant, but
“our pink nurse” with the whole
family, and it even came to pass
that she was known thronghont
the whole village as “Brigg’s pink
nurse.” And the name fitted her
well enough, on the whole, as her
hospital gown—she was a trained
nurse—her plump cheeks, nnd
even her dimpled hands and the
ribbons on her stiff cap were each
and all a most lovely pink.
It all happened the summer that
brought Zie her fifth birthday,
when the family were all at the
summer - home, Catalpa Cottage,
and when n mighty battle was be
ing fought in a big front room up
stairs between a strange mystery
we call—having no better name—
Death, and two able physicians,
seconded ably by our Pink nurse.
For the grandmother, was gazing
past us all into the gloom, and,
dove-like and gentle, with all se
lenity, was bidding us farewell
with a certain stately tenderness
which was all her own.
And Zie was the only one who
was happy. And she was happy,
as she always is 'happy, because
shecanuot, for life, help being so.
It is in the. warp and woof of her
small being. It is as much a part
of her ns is her little freckled nose,
yellow mop of hair aud topaz eyes.
One blue summer morniug,after
our invalid had had a bad night,
and our pink nurse was more white
than pink, she was sent into the
old-fnsbioued gurtlen to Steal u lit?"
tie color from the soft air. Zie im
mediately extended the hospitality
of her hammock,which was stretch
ed lazily between two snowy, blos
soming Catalpa trees, and there
the two sat, aud were very glad,
they were alive, for it was the
mouth of June, which will at once
explain that gladness.
“.You are very pretty,” said Zie,
gravely, by way of being agreea
ble. “I’m pretty, too. I’m glad.
Aren’t you?”
“Oh—I don’t know.”
“That don’t sound true. Are
you married?” pursued Zie, with
an air. _ *
“No.”
“Why don’t you get married?”
“Nobody wants me!” rippled out
the Pink nurse between laugbs.
“But your name is Annie. Hapn’t
every Annie got a Joe?” remarked
Zie, in amazement.*
And the story would have ended
right here before it began if aman
at that moment had hot been pass
ing down the broad’ walk. There
was nothing singular about his be
ing there, or in the fact that bis
name should be Joe—Joe Ripley.
But after he passed it was a little
singular that the back of his neck
and ears should so closely match
our Pink nurse’s face, who was
blushing also.
“Ob, you awful child! What will
you do or say next? It was the
telegraph operator who sends the
dispatches to your grandfather in
Washington—and—his name is
Joe.” ' And the Pink nurse made a
great pretense of being painfully
shocked, and ran, with a great rus
tle of skirts, into the house.'
“And her name is Annie,’’added
Zie to herself, while the pupils of
her eyes grew very big, and the
little bits of gold dust in them dis
appeared, and the rest of the day
she was very quiet.
Now the telegraph operator lived
just np the hill, only a block be
yond Catalpa Cottage, and Zie’s
hammock was very near the board
walk on which be passed to nnd
fro several times a day.
That evening a surprise was in
store for Mr. Ripley. Just at dusk,
while all things were taking op the
gray-green of twilight, lie walked
took his handkescbief out of the
crown of his straw hat, and, after
wiping his face, carefully replaced
it. Then followed the suggestions
offered by the small voice.
“Well, kid; what isdt?”
“I’m not a kid; I’m a girl. And
my name is Zie. I didn’t know un
til to-day that your name was Joe.
Our Pink nurse told me. Would
you mind telling me if yon’ve'an
Annie—already?”
“I’ve no Annie,” and Mr. Rip-,
ley grinned.
“Would you like one?”
“I dqn’t mind.”
“Because—I know one.
“So?”
“That’s all,” added Zie with dig
nity. “Ton can go now.
And Mr. Ripley went home, but
Mr. Ripley has since confessed
that he never felt so queer in all
his life, and furthermore acknowl
edged that if he had not got reli
gion during the previous spring
he should have been tempted to be?
lieve in Fate.
And in fact Mr. Ripley, the.vij-
lage telegraph operator, began to
act as if under some sort of a spell.
Just in front of Catalpa Cottage,
out near the primitive horse block,
there was a loose plank. It was a
singular fact that the window
where the Pink nurse lurked com
manded a view of this loose plank.
Now, avoid that plank as he
would, Mr. Ripley no sooner reach
ed that spot each day, in the full
consciousness of the eyes behind
the window cvrtain, and the calm,
judicious aspect of a small figure
in the hammock, than some demon
lured him to it, stumped his toe
with it, and allowed him to pass
on with neck and ears a perfect
match to the Pink nurse.
One day he distinctly-heard a
titter from behind the curtain.
“Never' mind,” came the small
voice from the hammock, “she
likes yon just the same, if she does
laugh at you. She wouldn’t watch
for you every day, you know, if she
didn’t” Which was a sensible con
clusion for a five-year-old girl.
But that plank grew to be a
nightmare to Mr. Ripley, the tele
graph operator. Every day he
fo>un<l it-tbcrc, —-
One night at midnight Zie had a
dream. Ail in the ^moonlight of a
perfect June night she heard the
fairies:
“Knock! knockl knock!”
“It sounded real,’’she announced
over her oatmeal porridge.
And it probably was, to some ex
tent, for the plank was found firm
ly fixed in its place that morning
by three bright new nails.
“It’s coming true,” whispered
Zie to herself, and she told the
same thiug in strictest confidence
to three intimate friends, after the
fashion of her sex. But as they
happened to be merely a hop-toad,
a demure lady-bug aud a gaudy
hummiDg-bird, the secret was still
a secret.
That night, when Mr. Ripley
went home to his supper, Zie sat
on the horse-block.
“Did you nail it?” phe promptly
asked.
“Naihwbat?”responded Mr. Rip
ley, with a brief glance at the win
dow curtain.
“The plank. I think it was a
fairy. She thinks it was yon. Was
it?”
But Mr. Ripley passed on speech
less.
And as he went he was quite an
gry to find himself marching to
the tune of:
Soon they’ll be married,
Never to part
And, on .the last! day of Jane,
when the catalpa blossoms lay like
silver upon the lawn,Zie propound
ed a remarkable question at the
luncheon table..
“Do all men say they never kiss
ed anydne else in all their lives?
When they get engaged, I mean,”
she asked, with her mouth fall of
sponge cake.
“What can the qhild mean?”
ejaculated Aunt Louise in amaze
ment.
Zie sat np very straight.
“I mean that Annie’s got a Joe,
now. Oh, it’s true! And they say
that I’m a darling—bnt I knew
that—always? That’s a chestnut.
And Joe told Annie that she was
the very first girl he had ever loved,
and she wouldn’t believe him—but
she didn’t git mad one bit. Why
wouldn’t she believe him?”
“Because—they Ml say that,”ex-

Washinton, D. C., Sept. 17, ’92.
Tbereis considrable rejoicing in
Washirgton over the prospective
incomig of the next president. A
lady wlose lot had been cast in the
Capitaj and who has been necessa
rily tfrown much with republican
official, tells me that she has some-
timesbeen so angered at republi
can bnutifes that she wonld go to
her pom and jump up aud down.
She may rejoice now. On the
winjs of the wind are borne hope’s
glad sounds, and ere long the days
of November will be here.
Cjat on Massachusetts avenue is
*thdhdfn e of the most prominent
democrat in Washington, Justice
L. Q C. Lamar, of the Supreme
Cout. He is the very truest type
of tbs old democracy, a most learn
ed sciolar, and a perfect Chester
field . If Cleveland had done noth
ing ese but call Justice Lamar to
the Sipreme Bench of the United
State* he would have earned the
lastiig gratitude of the southern
peopfe. Bat Justice Lamar is far
above all party prejudice; he rec
ognise talent in whatever sphere
it may be found. Washington is
proud of him.
Coisiderable regret has been oc
casioned in the Capital, and espe
cially in democratic circles, by the
removal of the family of Hon. W.
C. l?j Breckenridge to Kentucky,
where they will reside in Lexing
ton. i This change was occasioned
by the death of Mrs. Breckenridge.
Owing to this great bereavement,
the family wonld not have partici
pated in any of the gaities of.next
winter, but the presence of rich,
cultured people is always a pleas
ure to their friends. Miss Breck
enridge was offered a position as
teacher of mathematics in a fash
ionable schdbl in Washington, and
also a responsible place in a work
for the relief cf shop girls in “Phil
adelphia, but she declined both,
preferring lo live in her old Ken-
tacky home. Mrs. Breckenridge
will long be remembered here, not
only for her lovely accomplish
ments, but for her noble Christian
life?'
One of the ablest of that power-
erf ul corps of worker in Washing
ton, the newspaper correspondents,
is Mr. O’Brien Moore, who repre
sents the St. Louis Repubic, one
of the best democratic papers of
the west. His having been appoint
ed by National Democratic Com
mittee to write the 1 history of the
“Force Bill” brings him into more
than ordinary prominence just
now. Mr. Moore is a descendent
of the most ancient royal house of
Ireland.
There are many social leaders in
Washington who are earnest stu
dents, and often they accomplish
more valuable work than those who
labor for a. living. Among these
none are more prominent than
Mrs. H. C. Barney, whose splendid
portrait of John. C. Calhoun is elic
iting universal praise. It has been
hnng in the grand reception room
of the State Department, where
the portraits of many of the past
Secretaries of State now adorn the
walls. / >
The old Calhoun home at -the
head of Thirty-first street long ago
passed from the family. For some
time it was vacant, then a strauger
got possession and opened a'snm-
merresot.r But the venture did
not continue, and a year or more
ago it was purchased by Mr. Hen
ry F. Blount, one of Washington’s
wealthiest citizens. He renovated
the entire place, but no remodeling
was done, the new owner preferr
ing the original grandeur to any
modern improvement. It is a pal
atial home., The wide, hall and
spacious apartments are simply su
perb. The house stands on a hill
snrrounded. by acres of ground,
terraced and laid out in flower
beds, aud beautifully adorned with
rare evergreens and foliage plants.'
Noble old trees, planted by the
Calhonns, shade the walks so often
trod in other days by those' distin
guished people. Mr. and Mrs.
Blount are exceedingly hospitable,
and the place ha3 nearly returned
to its former glory. It is a renown
ed seat of democracy.

Savannah Morning. Xews,
Tea culture in the south has at
tracted considerable attention, and
experimentsingrowing the plant
have generally been attended with
success. Still, tea raising has not
become a southern industry. The
difficulty appears to be in harvest
ing and caring the leaves, and not
in cultivating them. In China and
Japan both harvesting and caring
is done entirely by hand, which
cannot be done at the rate paid for
farm labor in the south, and the
American tea crop has, so far,been*
of so little importance that Ameri
can inventive genius has not been
led to devise labor-saving apparat
us for curing the leaves. The har
vesting must necessarily be done
by hand; that cannot be avoided.
The first experiments in tea cul
ture in the sonth were made under
the auspices of the United States
department of agriculture before
the war. When Le Dac was com
missioner of agriculture he stdied
the subject, became a tea enthu
siast, and established an experi
mental garden near Summerville :
S. C. When the war came on ex
perimenting in everything except
explosives and projectiles ceased,
and the tea garden was abandoned.
Daring the past few years, howev
er; tea culture has been taken up
again by the agricultural depart
ment and a number of pregressive
planters. The old tea garden af
Summerville has been acquired by
Dr. C. U. Shepard, a Charleston
planter and chemist, who is mak
ing a thorough scientific study of
the plant, its propagation and the
preparation of its leaves. He has
extended the area of the old gar
den used by the government, and
will experiment with a hybrid
plant made by. crossing the half
wild government plants with a va
riety from India, and add others
from China, Ceylon and Japan to
his stock. So far his garden is too
young to make a fair test, but he
expresses the belief that he will be
able to produce tea very much su
perior to that commonly found in
the market.
Another South Carolina gentle-
uitin who has experimented in too
culture with considerable success
is Capt. B.L. Beaty, of Biicksville.
Several years .ago he obtained
seeds from the department of agri
culture, with which he planted an
acre. The plants prospered, and
have now attained a very vigorous
growth. He has harvested and
cured severy crops of leaves By the
old and clnmsy hand process, and
has never failed to produce a tea
which has been pronounced excel
lent by expert and professional
tasters. Bnt the cost of picking
and caring makes its production
for nparket unprofitable.
The teaplant is not hardy; an au
thority says north of the 30th me
ridian its culture would be attend
ed with considerable risk. In ap
pearance the bush is not unlike the
mock-orange, except that its leaves
are of a lighter shade of green and
not so thick. It bears a pretty
star-like white flower, which is
very fragrant The plants are gen
erally placed from fear to-five feet
apart, averaging from 1,860 to
2,700 to the acre. After the fourth
or fifth year 100 to 150 pounds of
leaves should be gathered from an
acre. The youngest plants produce
the best tea, and the youngest
leaves, on the tops of the plants,
are the finest flavored. Picking be
gins at the top. The youngest and
most tender leaves grade first-
class, and on down the bush the
pickings are graded.
It is believed that uh improved
method of curing will be worked
oat by the gentlemen* interested in
the near futare. And, that process
perfected, there appers to be noth
ing further in the-way of tea be
coming one of the south’s* staple
crops.

campaign is education.
It is essentially a campaign of
issues and of arguments. It is an
era of enlightenment. Not since the
war has any political battle been
joined upon such lines of argu
ment, or debated with so much f ul
ness and power on either side, ns
this. The hustings today make
up a great series of scriool houses
in which finance and economic
policies, history and government
are the textbooks, andthe explana
tion of theories is accompanied
with sneh urgent explanation that
inquiring minds are almost sur
feited with information, and be
wildered to conviction between
three liues of policy so persistant-
ly pressed. It is safe to say *that
when this remnrkable, campaign
is closed, the people will be better
nformed npomcarrent issues thnn
they have been at any time within
the last quarter of a century.
Of course the resultant of this
agitation will be the enlighten
ment of the people, the uplifting
of the-citizen. The taste for in
formation will be planted, and the
governmental schooling now go
ing on will inaugurate a Dew era
of civic intelligence. With peace
and comparative leisure to favor
it, wo shall -have in the future a
more intelligent ballot, a more en
lightened suffrage, a better element
to appeal to against unrighteous
laws or foolish legislation, and a
foundation on which we can stand
to rout and discomfit the dema
gogues. r
Bat the taste of public infor
mation is cumulative. Acquire a
little, aud there is a demand for
more. All forms of pablic educa
tion will be strengthened by this
educational campaign upon the
hustings. The schools, the libra
ries and the reading circles will
have an impetus.
But the ebantauquas especially
will be the rich gainers, nnd the
rich givers after this wholesale
spread of intelligence. What is a
chautauqua but a great people’s
school, where the greatest truths
and the soundest theories are giv
en by those in intellectual author
ity to the masses of the people who
come from every class aud call
ing?" And the thirst for informa
tion will demand during the com
ing years a large supply from this
prolific store.
When the Manchester Cbagtau-
qua is completed next summer, and
moving prosperously, the tastes
begotten of our intellectual cam
paign will require gratification in
many directions. The taste of the
tariff upon the Georgia hustings
this year will justify next year a
great debate at Manchester be
tween the high apostles of prptec-
tion and the accomplished advo
cates of tariff reform; Carlisle vs
McKinley, Morrill and Henna, or
McClure and Granny Hoar. On

Rather Paradoxical.
Several weeks before the fruit
on the berry farms of NewJJersey
begins to ripen the -growers are,
visited by au agent who finds out
how many pickers will be ueeded
and agrees to furnish these by
a specified- time. This agent, gen
erally an Italian, goes back to the
Italian colony in Philadelphia, ar
ranges with his people for the work
to be done, goes to the farms with
them aud remains until everything
has been settled with the farmer,
Daring this season from 5000 to
7000 of these people—men, women
and children—picked berries in
Atlantic and Camden counties.
They earn from thirty cents to
$1.50 per day. They worked about
fifteen hours each day, break
fasting at 4.o’clock, lunching at
9,12 and 3:30, and having a sup-
stantfal meal at twilight, after the
day’s work is done.
Dr R. W. St. Clair of Fort
Wayne, Ind, tells how a few years
sinnee, he was riding on an engine
and caught a cinder in his eye that
caused ihe most excruciating pain.
He says that he naturally began to
rub the afflicted organ, when - the
engineer called out: “Let that eye
alone and rub the other one.” The
doctor looked incredulously at his
j adviser, but the latter only contin
ued: “I kuow you doctors think
you know it all, but if you will let
that eye alone and rub the other
one the cinder will be oat in two
minutes.” The doctor says he be
gan to rub the well eye vigorously
and soon felt the cinder move
down to the inner corner. I was
preparing to take it out by the aid
of a small mirror when the en
gineer again admonished him to
“keep rubbing the well eye,”
which lie did for a minnte longer,
and then fonnd that-the cinder had
slipped down onto his cheek. Who .
