"So," dismal* ty. "Nor touched your chop." "No," morn dismally, "Nor tasted your coffee." "No," most dismally. It was a very pretty room, that in which the Kestersons sat at breakfast. A big Persian rug partly cot-prod the polished f!oo" there were sash curtains of China s Ik on the windows the table was a n ir telo of snowiness, sparkle and tern .ting viands a bowl of violets stood on the low, tiled mantel, and over on a broad lounge in the bay window kicked a little dimpled, rosy baby, Philemon Kesterson. Jr. "My love, what is the matter?" "Oh, nothing!" Mr. Kesterson laid down the paper with an air kindly but determined. "You are ill. Augusta, or you are wor ried. Which is it?" Mrs. Kesterson rolled between her slim, white fingers one of the ribbons of her old-roso morning gown. "I'm w-worried," she replied, with quite a pathetic tremble in her voice. "Well?" queried her lord. "I haven't any money!" burst out Mrs. Kesterson. Philemon stared. "Why, my dear Augusta, it is only five days since you drew fifty dollars." "I—I know, di-r'ing but I saw such lovely faille selling1 at an absurdly low price. I thought it would be swindling you not to buy it. You'd have to pay so much more, if I should happen to need some in the future. Don't you see, love?" r. Kesterson put his hands in his pockets and leaned batik in his chair. He had not been married long enough to make him either callr JS or irritable regarding requests for n-oney. "Well, no, my dear, I can't exactly Bay I do. What Is it you need?" "A new bat to wear Kis.'«r Sunday." Mr. Kesterson laughed. "Now, why in the world do women always want a new bonnet for Easter? I don't buy a new hat because Lent is over. Well, well, how much will the bonnet cost?" "I don't want a bonnet," corrected Mrs. Kesterson. "I want a hat A bonnet makes one look so old." I'hilemon smiled benignantly on the dimpled, wild-rose faco across the table, and thought it would be a peculiar head dress which could impart to its curves and color an appearance of age. "Well, a hat, then. How much?" "I don't know, but I did see just tbo •ery one 1 want. It was in Pa'.mer'a window—the loveliest hat, all Kii£P- MY LOVE, WHAT IS THE MATTI'.K?' green velvet and surah, and th® can ningest little curly tips." Mr, Kesterson smiled mo*e broadly. He rose. He kissed his wife. "Money is very scarce, my dear, but 111 see—I'll see!" And bo shrugged himself into his light spring overcoat and betook himself down town. If not exactlv an old man's darling. Mrs. kesterson was the adored wife of a man considerably older than herself, lint then she was barely twenty. It w 's quite a chilly morning, and the draught nrclod tl.tough the cable car on which Mr. Kesterson rode to his place of business at a positively rheu matic rate but Philemon Was oblivious of such small discomforts. 'Ihe cmi sciousnoss of a kind tie' i ••..:itcmplat»'d seemed to keep his feet a .-ell as his heart warm. "Wonder if she thought me indiffer ent to her request. She'll know better this evening. Won't she be delighvd. though?"' And he rubbed his boarded chin in an ecstacy of anticipation. Ar rived at State street he turned in tlie direction of Palmer's millinery store. Within half a Muck of his destination ho was startled by a slap on the shoul der. "Hallo, Kesterson! Where are yon bound for?" A reddish glow, the wry parody of a blush, pa-sod over Philemon's honest face. Then he recollected that Charley Kent was probably as indulgent a hus band as himself, because much more recent one. "To tell v.'-i the tr.th. Ken* I'm going to buy my wife a bonn :i• a hat,." Charley first laughed and 1 red quizzical, then grew suddenly serious as the possibility of his Dora being at that moment sighing for suitable head-cov ering occurred to hiui. "Women always do want iipw botnicS for Easter, don't they?" From the stand-point of a longer matrimonial experience Philemon, with decision, answered "Yes." "Funny, ain't it?" "Very." "Guess I'll go with you. IIow do you know you'll get what your wife will like?" "That's as easy as rolling off a loir She told me." "Oh! Not a surprise, then?" "No." When the two gentlemen entered Palmer's Mr. Kesterson explained to the saleslady who waited upon them the particular features of the particular chapeau his wife desired. At least he endeavored to describe them. "The color had two names," ho said, "and, though I can't exactly remember them, 1 know 1 would were 1 to hear them again." "Crushed strawberry?" sin- sv.gg.-s'.-d, "No.'* "Harrison bine'.'' "No-o," "Terracotta?" Mr. Kesterson wiped bis forehead. He feared his friend was iaugning at him and ho was becoming desperate. "Yes," he murmured, "1 think that's it—terra-cotta." "Oh, th"n this must be it," and sbe brought irora the show-case a trim little bonnet. "lias it tips? She said the one sin preferred had tips." "Dear me. yes," replied the saleslady, as she smilingly revolved the bonnet before his ignorant eyes. "All right then. Give me a couple of cards." On ono he wrote the address and on the other, "With my dear love. Philemon." "IIow mm-h?" he asked. vv e n y- ti v e o 11 rs." Kesterson gasped, but he went he roically down in hid pocket and counted out the sum. "Think I'll take that one tor Dora," said Kent, indicating an esthetic hat in the window. And when ho hud paid for it and given the ad lress he and Kester son walked out and over to Kinsley's, where on the strength of their good A/ Xc// Oil, TIIKN, I HIS MUST IJK IT. deeds they treated themselves to a very choice luncheon. Meanwhile the in telligent and discriminating saleslady boxed and forwarded Mrs. Philemon Kesterson's terra-cotta bonnet to that lady, but inclosed Mrs. Philemon Kes terson's card with Mrs. Charley Kent's green velvet hat. "Not at home?" "No, ma'am, but she will be toon. Won't you step in and wait?" Mrs. Kesterson hesitated. She was vatigued. The parlor beyond with its ruby portieres, its sparkling little lire, its general air of comfort and coziness, was most inviting. So she went in. "Mrs. Kent said she would be back by four," said the servant, and then she drew the portieres and went away. Mrs. Kesterson, seated by the piano, pretty as a picture, in her moire street suit, looked criticallv around the room, as women have a trick of doing when alone. Her glance fell on a peculiar-shaped parcel on the sofa. "A new bonnet!'" She got up and walked toward it. "From Palmer's. How I should love to see it! I believe I shall take a peep. Dora and 1 are so intimate sbe won't mind." So, accordingly, two small, gloved hands snapped the cord, removed the paper, took oif the cover, and unswathed from itfi tissue-paper wrappings a green vel vet hat all trimmed with surah and curly tips, "Oh!' she cried, "/w//hat!" For in im agination it had already been hers. She stooped to pick up the card which had fallen on the rug. In blank astonish ment she read the line thereon. In wild suspicion she reread it. In an agony of doubt, bewilderment, misery, siie perused it again. Iler husband had sent Dora the very hat she had de scribed to him! Hadn't elie heard ru mors of hiB having been attentive to Dora long ago? But now! that, was his writing —and bis name! with i*is dear love—oh! liut Dora would bu retum- ing soo.i! In a -verish hurry Mrs. Ke» tefsuii restored trie Int and card to their places in t'tie box and tied up the latt-er. Th"n he drew down her vail, let he self softly out of ttie house and hurrii home. There she found awaiting hr the twa-cotta bonnet. "He didn't in close any card to she commented, bitterly. "Oh, no! Just me this ugly old thing." When 1'uilemon, radian1 at the pros pect of his reception, entered his home that night he was confronted by a red eyed. iiffespon.sive and resentful little lad v. "W—what is it, cleare-: I'i il'. v'/.: V u, get the—the hat?" "No, didn't get. the hat," retorted his wife, with a stinging emphasis on the pronoun which wu* q'lit" l"-1 Mn her innocent spouse. ,i i I. .s little bonnet'.'' "Wasn't it the one yoe d- rioe d?" queried Philemon, aghast. A look of crushing si-orn .i- he only answer he received. That very evening as mute and miserable they sat in their* parlor, who should be ushered in bu*. Mr arid Mrs. Charley Kent. And Mrs Kent wore her new hat. She to come! And we-ar it.! The insolence of it made Mrs. Ke-tersou grow white as death. IJut- what was that Charley Kent was saying in that rollicking voice of his? "Look here, Kesterson, the card you w rote your wife to-day, when we bank- f4'£l{ "l.OOK HKI'.E, K...- J'A rupted ourselves on Iv.ister bc-.TV.s, t!.- y sent home in Dora's txix.*' "Kb!" cried Philemon. Mrs. Kesterson gaspe.l, T' blood S came back from her heart wi'i i rush. She went up to Dura and begat, talking to her rapidly, cordially, aiTection ttely. She e uld hear the gentlemen jesting i over the mistake, their purchases, and her hu-band saying how he had bought I the wrong hat after all. The evening passed delightfully. Philemon looked at his wife in surjirise. She was so full of vivacity, of mirth. When the guests were gone she went, up to Iter husband, and leaning over the back of th chair I wherein he sat bent and kissed him several times. "You dear old Phil! I was cross to night wasn't I? And I didn't thank you for that beautiful bonnet!" "lint—" stammered Kesterson, "It is exactly the shade of the faille, and I'll have my dress of that- made up right away. It is a charming bonnet! You darling boy!** Beamingly Mr. Kesterson received his delayed caresses. But he made up his mind at that moment that one never could understand a woman, and that it was no use trying to doso. -Kata M. Cleary, in Chicago Times. MANILA CIGARRERAS. Tli« Cigar iirl» i mi»U».vel IN th« Philip |iiu« IhIhiuI 1-not ori***. One of the most interesting of tha sights of Manila is the rijnrreras, or cigar girls. About sunset any week-day you may see coining out of a long low building near one ot the bridges, and wending their way by twos and threes, many hundred women clad in the sim ple but picturesque costume of the Indian, of all ages from twelve to fifty, most of them having fine eyes, hair and figure, but homely faces. These are the cigar girls, who work in the Gov ernment or private factories. Most of them are Chinese mestizas, as indicated by the obliquity of the eyes, though they have the Malay width of cheeks. The number of cigar-makers in and around the city is about 2:2.000, of whom only 1 ,.r»00 are men. The outside of the cigar is made of one or two leaves, beaten flat by small, smooth stones. They ar® filled with smaller pieces, rolled and cemented on the edges with a pink paste. They are cut to the same length by scissors. The work is done on wooden tables, raised less than a foot from the floor of large, light, and well ventilated rooms. Several hundred are employed in each room, ten on each side of tables about a yard wide, as near to gether as possible, with a narrow pass age way along the middle. All squat on their heels, or sit on bamboo stools about two inehet« high. No one but a Tagal could maintain such a position for hours at a time. They use nothing but their fingers, the hammers, the scissors and tho paste. The noise made by these stone pestles on the wooden I tables is almost deafening, in the midst of which they keep up a constant chat ter, until hushed by the approach of the inspector. They come in the morning and go home at night, often to consider able distances, on foot or in boats, and are a very merry, happy set Tobacco has always been, and prob acy pver will be, the most important product of the Philippines, as far as the Government is concerned. The old laws compelled the Indian to raise it in certain regions where the necessaries of life ar© obtained with difficulty to the exclusion of bis own crops, and under severe penalties. After .January, 1S83, tbo cultivation, sale and manu facture of tobacco were made free. This freedom stimulatoa production and se cures finer quality, as each planter raises the best he can, and waits for a fair price. Better cigars are made, but at a higher rate. The work of tin- fao tories is done by individuals, ami the demand for the raw mat-rial has b'-en unpn cedented and unnatural. Skilled i labor and machinery and ample capital 1 will soon extend this native industry. L'r. Samuel Kueelaud, in Harper's Mai? u tiuo. AN LNGLISH SWANNtHY. A "uritti» Siiflit ti He !»«'eri on the MarnhJT Short" nt Ablmubury. A curious sight does tho marshy •.*.. .i* Abbotsbiry present in tho breeding season. Then the ground is dotted with ne-ts, a pair of swans to each, one covering the eg^s, the other sitting or standing, a snow-whito senti nel beside his mate. Tho swans do not breed until they are three years old they are strictly monogamous, and tha male bird takes his full .-hare in the in cubation. Tho ne.-ts. formed of dry reeds, are of great size, and are mado upon grassy tussocks among the osiers, the whole breeding ground, moist with I'linu Is of water, being so freely inter sected bv narrow alleys of sound turf that the visitor is 'enabled to inspect them closely nor does his approach dis turb the equanimity of the birds, though •d during the brt euing season, v he brood is young, the swan is .1 1 -vi'l defend himself, alld i. ..

Our cli rnat suit.- them well, and at Abb. .i have flourished esceed iug! ,. i ,n' number there now is about eight hundred: formerly more were kept, as many as fifteen hundred while i'u: ther back, asriin. tradition gives the number as seven or eight thousand. In winter time many sorts of wild birds put in ap pearance, when tin- sooty plumage of in numerable coots forms a striking con trast with the snowy whitiness of the .-wans. Some few years back a black swan, that rira tti'm in terru*, kept tho white i ncs company for a while, but none knew whence it came or whither it went. There are also hoopers, or wild swans, a smaller species. Wild species are, perhaps, always smaller than tame, though generally more beautiful: but this does not seem to be the ca-e with the swan, as M. I'.aiilon, King's Counselor nnd bailiff of Waben, at Montreuilsur-Mer, remarks: "The abundance and the ciioic of food augmented the bulk of the tame swan, but i'.s form lias lost, nolle of its ele gance it has preserved the same graces and the same freedom in all itsmotio:,. its inaj-stic port is ever admin I doubt even whether all these, quail*.• are found to equal extent in the wild bird." At Abbotsbury. however, the swans are not fed they find ampir pvo vi-ion for them-.' *i. i._.c and o'her marsh ph.n*- w..: :i tiio bunks of the Flee'. The grace and power with which the swan moves in what, we may call his native (dement are d'diirhfful. md he has been coupled wit.h dis mounted dragoon to illustrate ... ex treme of awkwardne-s, and it. must bo confessed that his gait is most, ungainly but. atbut lie is -nperb. Acceding to that keen observer and eminent natur alist. Button, the sA*an presents tho fine-t natural model for th" art of navi gation, "Its raised neck and round swelling breast exhibit the prow of a ship cleaving the waves, its broad belly represents the keel, its body, pressed down before, rises behind into the stern: the tail is a genuine rudder its feet art' broad oars, and its wings, half opened to the wind and gently inflated, are the sails which impel the animated machine." Cornhill Magazine. HOMELY PHILOSOPHY. How to l.ive lliippily sinil at with All tin* \Vt»rlth The less a man knows thi grealur his prejudice. Kverv good act man does is shaking bands with God. Life is the best school, and conscience tho best guide. Nine-tenths of man's ills come only as they are invited. The man who is always sober is always on the right road. Persons who have dirty back yards leave dirty memories. Our best friends are not those who always come with taffy. Never ask a man for his advice unless you are willing to accept it. Retailing scandal and injurious re ports of others is like drinking swill. One sure way to bring unhappiness is to quarrel with what you have. No man should expect more of good will from others than he has for them. To neglect to train a girl to active usefulness is to land herinfuture misery. The sturdiest and tallest trees grow in the field of indifference to public opin ion. Tho man whose wife doos not know how to keep house neatly is not fully benefited by marriage. When persons marry they should ceasfj trying to offend each other with words intended to sting. Never accept the advice or rely on tho judgment of a man who is not posted on what he talks about.. The preaching of others w ill never get us into Heaven, as every person must make the climb for himself. Many a man has cured himself of sick ness by going to work and ceasing to sit on a nest full of worry eggs. The dirtiest robber of all is the per son who detracts from another's good name and thus robs his betters. Some wives ave never happy till they have said something to make their hus bands feel sore and miserable. Tho woman who really loves a man will never lay in wait with words that burn or that are intended to humiliate. he less you have to do with any per son whoso talk is about, bis neighbors, tho better off and happier you will bo. Man's principal wealth as he starts in tho next life will be his education and what he has learned that is useful to others in this. Place no reliance on tho love of a woman whose great desire is property, or on the love i a man who loves ouiy physical beauty.

TROOPERS MADE LUDICROUS. hIUmI Out in I inlrcH utul Sentteri lo the I'otmlitui (oilier*. he pt-ople of I'otsdam, near Berlin, have receii11 v been stirred up by a serion of military high jinks. The garrison there has been called out at all times of the day utul night to ma ce sham assaults, start hham skirmishes, and to pretend to capture all sorts of isolated buildings, from castles to cowsheds. Late one Wednesday evening a short time ago the retiring Potsdamers were thrown in to a stato of high excitement by some military evolutions of rather unexpected and unprecedented kind. The regiment, of the irdeK du Corps got the order at ten o'clock to take the Imperial Stadt-'chloss by 'torm In the wildest, haste every soldier jumped into the clothes nearest to his bod. tumbled down to the parade ground within the barracks, and leaped to the saddle of bis waiting horse. Then commenced a crazy scramble for the Stadtichloss. At the first dash a horse, and its rider went down in rounding the corner near the Berliner gtite, Tho horses of a dozen other cavalrymen close behind were in stantly upon the prostrate animal and flew sprawling in all directions. Spears and accoutrements got tangled up with the horses, an I two of tho animals worn so 1-1.11. woiin b-d that they had to be shot on the spot liiie trie unhorsed men were, straight ening themselves out for another dash, a little squad which hal got ahead of t.!i"iu colli led with a peasant's team and big covered wagon full of vegetables for the Berlin market. 'I Vie peasant was tossed from his seat into the gutter, where he lay unconscious, while the horses ran jvvn the street and the caval rymen wore trying to got their horses i loose from the wreck of the wagon cover. A doz"u minor accidents delayed I the members of tho regiment in other piii ts of the city, so that all savo one arrived at the Stadtschloss far behind time. The one prompt soldier was a raw recruit, who had seen but two days of service, and he got a reward of $-3.'-U) for his nimbi, ness. .' Thoca val ry ircn were on ly half dressed. Many wore on lv their drawers and under shirts a few iad on trousers, while three were clo.heiGonly in nightshirts, overcoats and m-lniets. The only person severely injuied in the whole holter skelter scramble was Ihe peasant with ihe market wagon, lie had his leTt leg broken and has brought a suit for darn I ages. —-X Y. Sun.
