At seventeen she broke tho heart of a wire fence agent* ���������.'j'jp'gight- een.sbe could have had her'^lt^cff, half it dozen men ranging' fro&ffiwpncvs' sous to reaper and mower agents. She was nineteen when Jed Williams, a young carpenter from the village, came out to rebuild a barn and reshingle tlie house. Cynthia didn't want tbp impossible, but she had certain fixed ideas. She would- never fall in love and marry a man unless he had saved her life. All <of her would be lovers were anxious to ioq ihe marl', but opportunity had nev- ,"*"r presented itself. She wouldn't break through the ice on the horse pond in winter, add she wouldn't tumble into the well in summer. Her father owned a savage bull, but she didn't go picking daisieVin the field where the bovine grazed. If a mad dog'came along the highway she was sure to bo in the house, and if lightning struck the house she was sure to be at a neighbor's. On one occasion a sewing machine agent who had sought to capture her heart and had knocked $12 off the regular price to make himself solid thought tbe golden hour was at hand. He drove up one day and'found ���������a tramp "sassing" Cynthia, but before he could rush to the rescue and win her gratitude she had taken the fellow by the ear and run him out of the gate. One after another came and went, and Cynthia's only excuse for turning them down was that each and every one of them was as commonplace as pumpkin pie. Jed Williams had had his warning, but he straightway fell in love just the same and was taken on probation. That was one good thing about the girl. She always gave a man at least four weeks in which to save -her-life.-Jed~had-a-three_monthsLjob, at carpenter work, but he knew that he "Hill MAY Kllili Ml!, IIUT I WIW. fUVB voum Lira."

Jed didn't boast of what he would do if he met the beast face to face, and C^thia mentally gave him a credit mar^i in some mysterious way the barn paf-jer kept track of the lion and gave others the news. The Numidian was seen here and there. Here he had killed a cow; there a horse. In one case he had attacked a farmer and broken his back, and all efforts to recapture him were futile. In the midst of these wild alarms Cynthia had to go to a neighbor's of an evening, and Jed was courteous enough to offer her his escort Some .laughing remarks were made about tho (ion. but they (lid not affect the gin.

Then the heroism in the carpenter's composition bad a calcium light thrown upon it. , He flourished his Club and shouted. The lion scratched up the dirt aiid gurgled in his throat. Jed sprang forward and struck at him, and the beast dodged and gurgled some more. Cynthia had sat down in the road in her fright and didn't see much of the battle, but at the end of five minutes the panting Jed helped her up and announced that the ferocious beast had been driven off. "Oh, Jed, but you are sure he's gone ���������sure of it?" she asked. Her answer was a roar from the chagrined lion as he fied across the field. "He would have killed me but for you.". ;' ������������������" h "He surely would." replied Jed. / "Then you have saved my life."

You must have hit him by mistake." "What are you talking about?" "And father found our old buffalo robe in the pasture." "Well, you are not going to break the engagement, are you?'!

The (sweetened part, therefore, descends, leaving the sugar constantly in contact with unsweetened or only partially sweetened tea-in fact, a continual circulation of fluid Js promoted until tho whole ia dissolved.

There is always a greater or less amount of work to be done to put household furniture in repair for the ���������winter, but much of this may be done at home. f In the first place, every piece that becomes loosened from an article'of furniture or every part that is broken or splintered off should be saved and put in a place by themselves where they ma-y readily be found. Prepare for work by purchasing a bottle of liquid glue of good quality and a bottle of is sucl r rubbing oil. The latter fch as Is used in furniture factories for giviug. un oil finish to furniture and may be obtained at such a factory or repair shop or probably at a large drug store. Apply as much glue as the fracture demands and press the piece closely in placo, wiping off tho superfluous glue. Many pieces can be tied together till the glue sots; othor pieces can be laid down flat and an iron placed upon them to keep them securely in place. Use uo more glue than is necessary. After the gluing is done and the glue has had timo to set you are ready to apply thc rubbing oil. First, however, any pieces of furniture that aro dirty or greasy should be cleaned. Oiled furniture "may be cleaned by dipping a woolen cloth in kerosene and rubbing thoroughly, or It may be washed in suds by using a good white soap. The latter will take off tho finish more, but tfiis can bo restored. The chamber sets', sewing machiuo, dining chairs and table, desk���������all such articles will be vastly improved if rubbed over in this way. Willow or rattan chairs should have an oak or cherry stain applied with a good brush so as to penetrate all parts. This stain comes mixed ready to apply and is kept at any drug or paint store. A pretty finish for some chairs is a coat of prepared enamel, either white or colored. This comes in a liquid ready for use and is to be applied with a brush. The woodwork,' too, may be given a little gilding or bronze at slight (expense by using the paints to be had at any drug or paint store. Such a chair upholstered iu white corduroy or velours is especially dainty and pretty. DBESSY DAT GOWNS. _urg.

C. McClwe A very disgruntled Mephistopheles leaned against a post watching the fantastic, assembly whirl and turn to the utralna of a Strauss waltz. Couples in all stages of in'congruous pairing glided past his stand���������William Shakespeare with a portly Martha Washington in tow, Catherine de' Medici in the arms of a cowboy witb fringed trousers and clanking spurs, a fat and perspiring Christopher Columbus making desperate attempts to regulate his steps to those of*n slim Portia, and a jolly Bacchus tripping it with a vestal virgin. \ Mephistopheles watched tbem in bored and indolcut silence. The humor of the ill matched partners utterly escaped him. He folt suddenly a loathing of the dancers, the Strauss walta nnd the lights. He longed to be alouo to smoke and think. Some one touched bis arm. Ho turned to find at his elbow a Watteau shepherdess flushed and breathing quickly, evidently but just como from a turn in the waltz. He straightened himself and looked down at her gravely. "Teddy," she said severely, "you should be dancing. You look bored to death. What's the matter?" "I feel like���������I feel my part," he corrected himself. She laughed softly. "And I was just going out on the veranda for a smoke, but I've forgotten my cigarette case," he went on ruefully. "How hollow your world must be and what a lot of sawdust in your doll," she mocked. "Can't you get some at the office?" "Tl*ey don't carry Sulinas there," he answered. "Well," sbe said, "I'm not a box of Suliaas, but I'll do my best Will you take me outside? It's stuffy here, and I'm tired of dancing."

"It Isn't every girl marries the foremost geologist of the day���������one with baronet and half the alphabet after bis name,"=he said. "No," she answered flippantly, "that would be bigamy." "Patty," Mephistopheles said seriously, "I hope you'll have a big, wide life over there���������th������ kind you're eminently fitted for." She turned impetuously toward him. "Oh^ yOu great, big. generous boy," Ihe said warmly, "that's just like you!" Mephistopheles felt his heart dive for his boots. ���������'I do," he repeated lamely, as if try ��������� ing to convince himself, "I really do." What was that from the shepherdess-,?, Did she choke or did she snicker? "And you'll be fulfilling nil your mother's ambition for you?" he went on. She nodded. He sat up suddenly and for a time looked silently out across the water. "Patty," he said at length, "there's a lot to forget, isn't there?" "I suppose so," she said. "A lot for you, not for me," he continued. "You'll have to forget those drives and walks and that moonlight sail out around Whaleback���������great, wasn't it? You said���������well, never mind.

I'm not complaining, Pat, understand, but I've got one advantage, anyway. I can remember those things. I shan't have to forget them." "I shan't forget those things, Teddy," she said gently.

From tho days of Saul and David music has no doubt been the means of alleviating, if pot of actually curing, many serious-cases of mental disease. Modern experience has proved this conclusively, and many instances may be quoted from ancient history. Pythagoras commended music in tho treatment of the insane, and Thales, when a pestilence ravaged Sparta, found in music his most powerful means of coiubating it. Henocrates soothed maniacs by it, and Theophras-- tus held that even the bites of venomous reptiles wero rendered less fatal by subjecting the- victims to the influence of melody. . , When Philip of Spain was in a morbid and desponding condition, Farinelli, the vocalist, was sent for by the queen, with a party of musicians; to sing and play in the adjoining room. The effect was a speeciy and rapid cure. Both Buckman and Hafeland relate instances in which music has cured cases of St. Vitus' dance, and Becker and Schneider demonstrated practically its influence in different cases of hysteria. . ������������������The-Consclcntions_CltIeen.

McClure > &- -^'T-yyy'wy'*;i'vwyyr������yyr'WTyy������rvTaYf' Gerald Elkins was seriously disturbed over his mother's cold blooded purpose to secure a titled son-in-law. II* loved his sparkling, vivacious, warm hearted sister, and his soul was In revolt at the idea of forcing her to make a loveless marriage. He was still pondering over the question in the lobby of the Breslau hotel when inspiration came to him in tlie person of Tom Carrington, a former college chum. After the first greetings Gerald dragged his friend into a quiet corner and immediately began to unfold his brilliant scheme. "Tom. old man, you are still single and heart free, aren't you?" The other nodded in mild surprise. "Good! I didn't kuow but that you had met your fate during the three years you've spent in England. Do you know, the sight of you put a queer idea into my head. You remember my little sister, Elnore? You saw hor once about six years ago. Sbe was ouly a little girl of fifteen then, but I remember you said you thought her deucedly pretty." The other's brown syes kindled at the recollection. "Well, of course she is a young lady now and. if I do say it. one of the loveliest' girls that you'll meet in many a day's travel. Most unfortunately, mother has determined to marry Elnore off to some (killer with a title, and she's badgering the life out of the poor girl about it. So far Elnore has turned down all the lords, counts, et cetera, for, though she says she is willing to marry one provided she ioves him, she draws the line at the half baked specimens of nobiiity thnt the mater has sprung on;her. I want you to.come to the rescue, Tom. .Go in and win the little sister yourself and save her from the titled fortune hunters. You'll fall in love with her, I'll wager my head. My plan is to introduce you to mother and Elnore as an English nobleman _whom_I_met_a_couple of years ago in England. I remember you once told me" your father was an Englishman and distantly related to the Earl of Wei- don. That's what made me think of the plan. Of cotfrse, having only seen you once for a few minutes years ago, Elnore won't remember 'you. Join our party for the next two months while we are doing Germany and Austria. What,do you think of it?" "For heaven's' sake, Elkins, are you serious?" tho other gasped." "Never more so in my life." , "But your sisterl You ore not considering whether sbe will liko me or not. Then think of tbe position it would put mo in. Sbe would despise me when she discovered what a trick I had played on her." "Ob, she'll liko you all right, and you can toll her the truth when you propose, You need not care what the others think so long as dad and I aro satisfied, and I can vouch for tho governor's views. At any rate, as long na you nro in tho party mother won't bo inflicting any more of those fossilized and impecunious nobles on the poor girl." There was a peculiar twinkle in Car- rlhgton's eyes, nnd he "gassed medlta- tlvcly nt tho opposite wall a.full minute before answering. "I'll do it," ho .said briefly as ho swung around.'.. "You mny introduce mo ns Lord Cnrnlelgh, the courtesy titloof the heir nppnront of tho Earl of Weldon." Tom Carrington was tall and broad shouldered, with polished manners of a man of tho world. Mrs. Elklna was in a flutter of ecstasy tbnt evening ns hor win presented to hor "my Lord Cnrnlelgh, heir nppnront of the Earl of Weldon, Cnstlo Weldon, Sussex, Eng- land, a gentleman whom I met two yours ngo in England," the ItiKt stuto iiient, nt least, being a literal truth, Jiln'bre's face horo a look of doubling surprlso as her eyes llrst rented on the dour cut feaIures of "my lord," and tho hitter's quick glance caught Jt. It worried -him a bit, but ho soon forgot It In blissful enjoyment of her noddy. "By George!" ho .exclaimoil ns he paced up nud down bin own room later In tlio evening. "Gerald was not a bit too partial in his pralae of ber. f*lio'<* the hnndsnmwt, bi'lirhlest, most adorable little girl I'vo over met. I'm not sorry 1 entered Into his plot now, I'll carry it through and win her If I can," Cnrrlnglon's courtship of Elnore dnr- lor* the Tiort few wpnUi win of tl<e most Industrious and persistent character, Gerald smiled contentedly n>������ bo watchod the couple so absorbed In themselves, so oblivious lo externals. Mamma Elkins, too, wns complacent. Truo, "Lord Cnrnlelgh" found no easy victim to his noble charms. "fAWn a girl of the mo������t dlf-triioting- ly variable moods," he declared In half doipalr one day to Gerald. "I believe abe llkei me. At time-- I almost think I've woo her, ibo is to sweet and gra cious to me, and then just as I am getting tny courage up to the proposal pitch she'll suddenly turn cool as an- iceberg-" Taking consolation from., Gerald'* wise commonplace, "That's a Wofraan's- way, xny lord," he kept up the siego most valiantly. Finally one day his eager eye saw u signal of distress ia her mantling cheeks and drooping eyes. Then he boldly demanded a capitulation. When she whispered, "I lovo you, Tom," he took her in his arms and' ibamefacedlv acknowledged the deceit be had practiced upon her and Mrs Elkins. * Mischievous dimples danced aboul* the corners of her'sweet mouth as sh������ raised her head from his shoulder. "Tom Carrington," she cried gleeful- , ly and to his great consternation, "1 knew who you were tho moment I sav* you there in Breslau! A schoolgirl o* fifteen never forgets a young man slu meets, particularly if ho is a���������a���������well, rather good looking fellow. I knew you wore not 'Lord Camlelgh.' I don't believo I should have learned to lik< you so woll if you had been. I hav������ grown prejudiced against, titles sinci I have boon in Europe. Of course,'J forgive you, you bad, deceitful fellow, but I can't say what mamma will do." "Mamma" did just what Tom antioi- pated When he told her of his love fot ber daughter and bravely confessed that he bud been guilty of an atrocious hoax in passing as Lord Carnleigh. Apologies availed him naught. Even wben Gerald broke in and attempted to assume responsibility for the whole affair and to explain that Carrington- was rich and really connected with a noble English family, Mrs. Elkins* wrath was not abated one jot. In o stonn of passion she ordered the young- man to leave her apartments-and never again to intrude his presence on her oi her daughter. There was a conference that evening bstweon Gerald and Tom at another Berlin hotel, with the result that the next morning, long before the honr of, Mrs. Slkins' awakening, Elnore stole out of ber room. She was dressed fon traveling. Gerald and Carrington mets her in the lobby, and all three entereft a waiting cab. ' Two hours later Mrs. Elkins' French- maid brought a large square envelop-*- to bejr* bedside. On both senvelope and! paper was tbe WeWon crest Her astonished eyes, read the following lines: My^earT^aam=Ilfua^ ���������pardon for defying yonr commands/but J< hava obeyed the dictates of my heart, and) this morning at 6:30 o'clock, in the pre* ence of your eon and tny private secretary, Mr. Holcomb, at the Fourth.

"We start', at once on eur wedding trip, and after a tew weeks In Italy and France we shall proceed directly to Castle Weldon, England, my country seat The countess sends her love and a most earnest plea tor forgiveness, Jn which *"-< heartily join. She also was deceived, basely deceived, and did not learn the! truth until the saw my signature on the. marriage register.' You see, I was not, < Lord Camlelgh, but the Earl of Weldon, my "father, who died mpre than a year ago, having unexpectedly succeoded to thr title only a few weeks before his death.

Then thero is the further question of thu art sido of the citizen's Hie. The.houses of tho people are too much alike, both the exteriors and the interiors. Architecture in thc better sense is almost unknown except in a few districts in the cities and at some of the summer resorts. Ornamentation is usually heavy tragedy. Tho more money a man has to spend on a houso the more ornamentation he tries to secure and tho greater the confusion that reigns. It is so with tho interiors. The wood is painted and grained by universal custom; the wallpaper is put on in the same way; the carpets arc all alike; tho furniture of Mr. Smith's house is the same as that of Mr. Jones; tho pictures and thc bric-a-brac are the salne; lace curtains are omnipresent; the lamps and candelabra aro of the one type. There is no individuality. One gets the impression that every citizen had bought'his house furnishings at the same departmental store. One house furnisher in Toronto advertises: "You get married; wo furnish the home." Heaven help the youtig couple who start housekeeping on that plan! Far better the rude benches and tables and beds which our fathers hewed out with tho axe. Less furniture and better should bo our mo���������Uo. Our houses are overloaded with machino-made- trash. Better a bare floor and a few hdme- .made.rugs than the low-grade atro- .city which the farmer calls '.'bought- en carpet."

It- mado little difference whether half tho suburban trains during tho day were run ati a loas, so long as no one had to wait moro than two or throe minutes on tho station platforms, Mr. Talt has changed all this, and has cut down tho mileage so that it just meets the roquiromonts, and lias sacrificed to economy tho convenience of the occasional travolor. On tho country linos ho has Instituted similar reforms,- Somo of vthe branch linos which havo boon long run at a hopeless loss, havo boon abandoned altogether. This naturally raised a ho\vl from tho district, and county councillors havo waxed eloquent ovor Mr. Tait's Ig- noraneo of tho first' 'principles that should govern a Government railway system.
