****ta* the char-woman, Mrs. Barke,
was never likely to taste each a
dainty at other seasons. "Why
should we keep all the good things to
onrselvea," she ased to
MV,
"eat
plum-pudding whenever we fancy it,
and this poor hard-working woman
never know the taste of such a mor-
WAV It was also the custom of the
house "to build," as Harry Capulet
used to say, several of these rich pud
dings at the same time they would keep
for weeks or months without spoiling,
I and there they were, at a moment'sno
^ce, if dinner company arrived unex
pectedly on washing or ironing days,
when it was inconvenient to concoct
nice desserts. When Mrs. Harry Cap
nlet took tha management of affairs
after his mother's death, her hus
bands cousin, who had been regent
during the interregnum, said to her
j!. at Christmas-time: "I hope, dear,
you will continue Mrs. Burke's pud
ding she has received it for so many
I years, she will feel injured, I'm afraid,
unless you do."
"Ok. certainly," answered Mrs.
Harry, who was of an economical turn
of mind "I shall give Mrs. Burke a
pudding, but not one of these. What
are you thinking about—waste all
these delicacies on a chat-woman?"
"Gingerbread pudding, with a few
raisins added, will satisfy her quite as
well." put in Mrs. Harry's sister.
"What they call a poor-man's pud
dins?" asked Mrs. Harry.
"Yes—the very thing."
"But, my dear," expostulated Sue
Capulet, "Mrs. Burke will know she
has been accustomed to the best. I
have made it a principle to send her
as good as I kept I hated to scrimp
her at Christmas-time."
"Oh, you're too extravagant,Cousin
Sue. Besides, you give an old ignorant
char-woman credit for all your own
virtues aud tastes. I don't think it
worth while to waste so much money
upon her a poor-man's pudding is
more appropriate for the circumstan
ces."
"Noblesse oblige," insisted Sue. But
Mrs Harry laughed, and ordered the
poor-man's pudding to be baked the
Bame size as her own plum-puddings.
"lean hardly tell them apart, cook
has given them all such a rich brown.
Surely the proof of the pudding is in
the baking as well as the eating."
But Sue sighed. "Mrs. Burke is En
Iish. You won't be able to deceive
ler about all English plum-pudding."
"I'm not going to label it, and she
can take it or leave it. Beggars
shouldn't be choosers, I've heard,"
cried Mrs. Harry, who couldn't keep
her temper as well as she could keep
other things.
"That was a pudding!" said Mrs.
Burke, one morning after Christmas,
having come in for some work. Mrs.
Harry looked at Sue. "I think," con
tinued Mrs. Burke, "they grow nioer
every year, Mrs. Capulet. This one
just melted in your mouth it was too
good for poor folks."
"There!" cried Mrs. Capulet, as soon
as Mrs. Burke's back was turned,
"what did I tell you, Sue? After edu
cating Mrs. Burke up to the English
plum-pudding! This is all the good it
does to educate the lower classes, you
see."
*'I hope it isn't blarney in Mrs.
Burke," hazarded Sue.
"A man convinced
"against his will,
he
of the same opinion still."
quoted Mrs. Harry.
After this, whenever Sue and Mrs.
Harry disagreed, her sister would say,
"Remember Mrs. Burke's pudding,
Sue." However, the matter faded out
of their minds in time, and perhaps
they would never Have thought of it
again if Mr. Gus Blake hadn't hap
pened to drop in upon them. Now
Mr. Blake was somebody worth while
in Miss Lily's eyes. She bad met him
here and there, danced with
him at gcrmans, yachted with
bim, picnicked with him, lunched
with him once he had even sent her
Borne flowers she had some of them
now, pressed in
A
book of love son­
nets. He was one of those cordial
people who shake hands as if they
were making love. Miss Lily w^s more
than fond of his society she intended
to marry him. But it was a pity that
he should arrive on the
only
day in
the week when they had a picked-up
dinner.
"There is one of the Christmas pud
dings left, at any rate," said Mrs.
Harry "all that will redeem the din
ner."
Mr. &us Blake was very affable as
usual. He and Lily sang duets togeth
er before dinner she had also to show
him over the grounds, the view of the
river, the eagle's nest they hunted for
four-leaved clovers together, and Bhe
told his fortune with a daisy. He was
complimentary and gallant. Lily felt
te if a crisis was at hand. They met
Sue, with her hands full of wild flow
ers, coming from school.
"A neighbor?" he asked with his
most indifferent manner, as she just
.. nodded and hurried by.
'-'Oh, no. That is Sue Capulet,
H$pry,s cousin. She used to keep his
hojuse before he married."
"Indeed."

"Then flhe has a lover?"
"I. never heard of one."
.. "And yet she is not precisely ugly,"
|Wjth a wicked twinkle in his eyes.
"No, not at all only commonplace,"
onceded Lily. ...
The. dinner progressed as far as the
SosBert. It was a picked-up one, to
sure but what could any one ex

plum-padding to top off with. How
pluiQp and delicious it looked as it
came upon the table, and what royal
odora it emitted! SIM'cut it, with
pride in hev mien. She tasted it, and
shot.a Quick glance at Mrs. Harry,
but said nothing. The guest was qui

etly nibblingatlt and talking brilliant
ly. Presently Lily, who had been listen-

Then Mrs, Harry, havingiielbed every
body else, settled herself to the ehjoy
meht of her pudding. Sue, regarding
her, saw a look of consternation gath
er upon her face. She uttered an ex
clamation as it she had been wounded.
"Sue," Bhe said, angrily, "you
carried the wrong pudding to Mrs.
Burke. This is the poor-man's pud
ding," regardless of her guest.
"I carried the pudding the cook gave
me,' returned Sue.
"No wonder Mrs. Burke thought it
too good for poor folk!" put in Lily
sourly.
•They both glowered at Sue. They
were obliged to repress their wrath be
fore their guest, but they were too full
of indignation to talk rationally or
coherently. If Mr. Blake guessed that
there was thunder in the air. he was as
factious and anecdotal as usual, ignor
ed theatmosphericchanges,and did not
hurry away. But when he was oblig
ed to take his train at last, the thun
der-bolt burst about Sue's head.
"So you carried your point after
all _my directions to the contrary,"
®ai* Mrs. Harry "Mrs. Burke had
her English plum-pudding in spite o!
me."
"I had nothing to do with it," re
turned Sue "it was as much a sur
prise to me as to you."
•'Pity Harry hadn't been here," said
Miss Lilv, ignoring Sue's version.
"If his wife isn't to be mistress in his
house, it is time he knew it. A poor
man's pudding to set before Mr. Gus
Blake, one of the most fastidious of
men!"
"I'm very sorry," said Sue. "It
wasen't a nice pudding."
"Nor a nice thing for you to do in
another's house."
"Mrs. Capulet, I had nothing what
ever to do with it," protested Sue.
"Susan Capulet, I don't believe a
word you say."
"And if I were a sister, you or I
should leave the house."
And so it happened that Sue packed
her trunks, and Harry Capulet had
such a version of Mrs. Burke's pudding
that he did not dream of recalling her.
She (vent to a friend's house in the
city, who had promised to find her a
situation.
In the mean time Mrs. Capulet's ser
vants confided the story of the plum
pudding to Mrs. Burke herself, and
Mr. Gus Blake's part in it. Mrs.
Burke felt it her duty to write Mr.
Blake and repeat the whole affair,
and through him to help sweet Miss
Sue, who would never hurt a fly, out
of her trouble.
Mr. Blake smiled over this letter.
So they had made it hot for Miss Sue!
He had suspected as much. He went
to call on his friend Mrs. Barnes and
request her co-operation. He was
shown into the music-room, and met
Sue.'
"So," he said, shaking hands, "this
is the result of Mrs. Burke's pudding.
What a lucky pudding for me and
Mrs. Burke!" And then Mrs. Barnes
entered.
"I came," he said, "to consult you
about the affairs of a friend of mine
who has come to grief. Her case is
even worse than that of the man in
the South who burnt his mouth eat
ing cold plum-porridge."
The upshot of the consultation was
that Sue had a position, a little later,
where Mr. Blake was intimate enough
to drop it at his pleasure and carry
the governess off to the opera, or for.
a few hours' recreation in the Park
behind his span and so it happened
that, one day Lily and Mrs. Capulet
received the wedding-cards of Miss
Susan Capulet and Mr. Gustavus
Blake, which was all owing to Mrs.
Burke's pudding.
Smoking and Heart Disease.
In a report by Dr. Frantzel, of Ber
lin, on immoderate smoking and its
effects npon the heart, it is stated
that the latter show themselves chiefly
by rapid, irregular palpitation of the
heart, disturbances in the region of the
heart, short breath, languor, sleepless
ness, and etc. Dr. Frantzel says that
if the cause of these complaints are
inquired into, it is generally found
that the patients are great smokers.
They may not smoke cigars rich in
nicotine, but full-flavored cigars im
ported from the Havanas. Smoking,
as a rule,-agrees with persons for many
years, perhaps for twenty years and
longer,^although by degrees cigars of
finer flavor are chosen. But all at
onoe, without any assignable cause,
troubles are experienced with the
heart, which rapidly increase, and
compel the sufferer to call in the help
of the medical man. It is strange that
persons consuming cigars of ordinary
quality, even if they smoke them very
largely, rarely are attacked in that
way. The excessive use of cigarettes
has not been known to give rise to
smaller troubles, although it is the
cause of complaints of a different na
ture. The age at which disturbance of
the heart become pronounced varies
very much. It is but rare that patients
are under thirty years of age they
are mostly between forty and sixty
years old. Persons who are able to
smoke full-flavored Havanas continue
to do so up to their death. If we look
round among the better classes of
society, who, it it well known, are the
principal consumers of such cigars, it
is astonishing to find how many per-,
sons with

regents of the Smithsonian institution
passed. Mr. Ingalls offered iv resolution
discharging the committee on pensions from
further consideration pf the bill introduced
by him lust HOHSHUI to remove the limitation
of payment of arrears, of pension.
The firBt and'only speech thus far deliv
ered upon the interstate
•commerce bill wan
delivered by Senator Wilson of Iowa. He
undertook a detailed analysis of the mens,
ure, hut his explanation as to the long
.and short haul will hardly suit those who
have so severely criticised that feature of
bill. Mr. Wilson was very severe in his com
ments upon the mansxement of the rail
road, companies, especially in Iowa. As
to the fourth section, which makes provis
ion,-for 'the- long and short haul, Mr. Wil
sou jiinintnina that the implication in the
substitute which has been HO sharply con
demned is avoided in. the conference bill.
He insists that, the section is a wholesome
one, and .that it does not deserve" the cur
rent iritic isms.
It-rtight be set down as one of the things
irrevocably settled upon that the public
demand, which had induced the reporting
of the present bill, would not ceasn until
justiee'was entrenched in the transporta
tion a.vetem of the country. As an illus
tration of.the injustice of the present sys
tem, he stated that on the Kith of the pres
ent month corn was selling in west
ern Iowa, where it lmd been a good crop,
at-20 to 25 cents a bushel, in Chicago at
30 cents a bushel, and in Southeastern
Iowa, where the crop has been a failure, at
40 to 42 cents, so that Western Iowa corn
was being sold in Chicago at 3 to cents a
bushel less than in Eastern Iowa. Congress
lias debated this subject for ten years.
Now let it act. '\i.
Senator Saulsbury introduced a bill pro

pension bill. Mr. 0'Donnell, from the com
mittee on ventilation and acoustics, re
ported a resolution directing the daily
cleaning of the Ventilating pipes leading to
the hall of the house. In its report the com
mittee speaks of the habit ofexpectoratiirg
as loweringthe dignity ol this august assem
blageand being injurious to health. Itsays
that members spit in the brass ventilators
instead of the cuspidors. The resolution
was adopted. The military appropriation
bill was taken up. On motion of Mr.

Horatio King writes thus to the
maeazirfe of American history of Lin
coln and army deserters:
While writing of President Lincoln I
.will relate another singular incident
jnot generally known, I think, and
%hich comes to me on undoubted au
thority. At the beginning of the war,
oftener probably than later in the
fearful struggle, sometimes on going
into battle a soldier who had "never
smelt gunpowder" would falter, shrink
away ana maybe throw down his
arms, utterly unable from cowardice
to proceed, thus rendering himself
liable to the penalty oi death.
When these cases came before Presi
dent Lincoln, and the necessity of
making an example of such culprits
was appointed out to him, he invaria
bly plead off. By the way of convinc
ing him not only of the imperative
necessity of strictly enforciug the law
as a restraining influence against cow
ardly instincts, but also of its reason
ableness and justice, it was urged that
the soldier, seeing before him two dan
gers—on the one hand sure death if he
acted the coward, and on the other a
reasonable chance of escape if he press
ed forward in battle—he would natur
ally choose the lesser of the two, and
thus save his honor at least, if not his
life. But it was all to no purpose—Mr.
Lincoln solemnly declaring that he
never could consent to sign the death
warrant of a soldier for failing to go
where his legs refused to carry him
and he never did. He consigned to
pigeoq-holes, without his signature,
soores if not hundreds of these cases,
where they now lie buried at the war
department.
Leviathan Locomotives.
Prom the Albany Argus.
The Schenectady locomotive works
has sent out two of the largest loco
motive encines that have been built at
Schenectady. The engines are for the
Colorado Midland Railroad, and are
numbered 1 and 2, and will run be
tween Colorado Springs and Leadville,
where the grade is 210 feet to the
mile, and where powerful engines are
a necessity. The boilers are made of
o! Otis nteel, nine-sixteenths of an
inch t^jick, ..and their diameter
is sixty inches, with an extended
front end. There are 234 tubes
.in* rthe boijer, each thirteen feet
long and two
.and one-quarter inches
in diameter. The width of the Are
box is forty-two and seyen-eighths inch
es, this depth in front is fifty-seven
and onS-quarter and back fifty-four
and one-quarter inches. The cylinders
are 20x24 inches. There are four
driving wheels on each side fifty-one
inches in diameter, and a four-wheel
spring bolster truck in front. The
tank capacity of these immense en
gines is 3,500 gallons, which is about
025. gallons more than an ordinary
New. York Central passenger engine
holds. They are equipped with the
St. Lotiis steam brake on the tender.
The weight of the engine is sixty-two
tons without the tender, fifty-six tons
of which set upon the eight driving
wheels.

I am now
seventy-three years old, and until I was seventy
I was u,l
ways strong and healthy, but the amount
of suffering I have endured since that time, I feet
to be sufficient lor a life-time. I had a severeat
tack of sciatic rheumatism, which completely
prostrated me my limbs aud feet, and in fact my
whole body, was so drawn out of shane that it
wus impossible to move without assisniuce. I
was unable to straighten my limbs or to stepon
my feet for more than a year and my lite wasdie
paired of. Children and friends werecalled in to
see me die. 1 was treated by three good phyri
ciaus, aud they and my friends did all they could
to relieve my suffering—but with
110
avail- My
hips were blistered, ar.dniylimbsrubbed,bathed
and bandaged, but nothing they
could do afforded
me even temporary relief. Tongue cannot de
scribe my suffering. I urged them to let ine try
Dr. Pardee's Remedy, as I had read so mucn
about it, and of those who had^been cured by its
use, that it gave me confidence in it, although I
confess I had little or no faith in so-culled patent
medicines. The Remedy was procured, and 1
commenced using it as directed, and after taking
it ashort time could see that it was helping me-
being
I had til ten

the Remedy but ashort time, when I could sleep
like a child, and relish my food like one- Thank
God it has cured me,and I am to-day as healthy
and strong as before, and can walk and have as
free use of my limbs as ever. I have recommended
your Remedy to
very many who were afflicted and
I do not know of a case that it bas not cured. 1
am confident that it will cure young people, if it
will cure at my age. You are at
liberty tonsemy
name, if it will be the means of inducingany poor
sufferer to use your excellent Remedy. Iamvery
gratefully yours.
