Bhormun in Ladies' Home Journal. A WIDOW’S LOVE It was “steamer day" at Sitka, and amid all the joyous stir and exoitemont that tho monthly Ik>at brought, was ono forlorn, unhappy man. Tom Douglas watched his friends as they eagerly opened their letters and listened with assumed interest to the bits of news they were anxious to sliaro, for at Sitka the population throngs to the wharf when tho steamer's whistle is heard and waits tho coming of tho ship and the distribu tion of the mails. Tho people crowd in to tho tiny postofflce on tho dock and watch impatiently for tho longed for home letters. But Tom's homo letter was not a comfort to him. “Well, she is really coming,” he thought, “a month from today, if tho steamer is on time. I will bo a married man; worse luek. How can I over tell Natalia, dear little girl! I wouldn’t willingly hurt her tender feelings for f 1,000,000, ns hard up as I am. ” And Tom whistled ruefully. Tom Douglas was a naval officer and boforo being stationed nt Sitka ho had l>een on duty a winter in Washington, where he plunged into society with tlint. gny abandon that only a sailor knows, for nfter three years at sea a young fol low is quito ready for the rush and whirl of the gay’ capital. All houses woro open to tho handsome lieutenant, but there was ono where ho was espe cially welcome. Tho hostess was a pret ty widow of Homo 20 or 27 years of ago. Her husband, who lind died Soon after their marriage, scorned not to have hud a very Btroug hold on her affections, for after mourning him decorously for a year slio blossomed into tho gayest of tho gay, and her house became a center for tho young officers who hud boen tho friends of her hustsuid. It was there that Tom spent most of 'liis tiuia Ite dropped in during the morning and discussed the newest gos sip or tho latest magazines and came in for a cup of tea in tho afternoon and re mained till her cozy parlor was empty save for himself und her. “Aro you going to the assembly to night?” ho would ask. "Will yon bothers, TomP" Mrs. issu ing had such a good fellowship way of using hor friends’ first names. "Yes, I presume so." “Well, then, 1 nm going,” tho little widow would reply. And that was the way tho winter passed, Tom running in at all hours, privilegod tu smoke or loud, to tulk or listen, the most indulged of all her callers. When his orders oamo for his immediate removal to Alaska, ho pnt tho document in liis pocket and went us usual to the cheery homo of Mrs. Deor ing. Ho told her the news and was real ly surprised and flattered by her recop tion of it. Sho took ls>th his hands in hers, and tho tears gathered in her bright eyes. “Oh, Tom,” shosaid, “Ihate to havo you go.” Now, it never occurred to Lieutenant Douglas boforo, hut nt this moment tho idea did eomo to him that ho wns in love with tho widow. Ho drew her to him and kissed away her toars, and bo foro ho knew it ho wus engaged to Alice Dccring. ijn iciu nwu IMHJI uiiuu^>u|j iw Allco join him later in the summer, but owing to the loss of a distant relative, tho heir of whoso modest ostatosho was, her coming had been greatly delayed. It was now more than a yoar sinco Tom and she had parted in Washington. In tho moantimo Tom had whiled away his leisure hours in the somewhat narrow oirclo of Sitka society, but in that nar row bound ho hud found a fair Russian flower that lie knew bloomed for him. Though Tom had not nindo lovo to Nu talia—ho was too honorable for that— they hud been together constantly, and each knew instinctively what was in tho other’s heart. "I boliovo I'll go and toll Natalia all,” Tom continued to muse, "right now, for of course as a gentleman and officer I urn bound to keep my word, and my word is given to marry Alice— hang it I I wish I had never been bom. She, too, poor girl, may discover that my lovo has somewhat cooled. If it ever was love, it never was tho same feeling I liavo for dear little Nutuliu, bless her loving hoart. ’ ’ So Tom went to Natalia and told her that ho wus engagod, and that another month would see him married. Her delicate faco whitened, but eon trolling herself she said: “I congratulate you, Mr. Douglas.” Then, bursting into tears, sho turned away. The sight of lier tears was too much for Tom. Rmbracing her tender ly, ho suid: “I love but yon, Nutuliu, darling. Oh, that I had mot you first I My fondness for Alice was but a floot ing thing, and my lovo for you will lust forever. ” Pressing warm kisses on her lips, he hold her close. “Leave mo, Tom. It is right for you to koep your word, but you should havo told mo of your engagement before. Wo had host part now. Qoodby. ” “But can't I come to see you, Na talia, as usual?” “Why, certainly not, Mr. Douglas. ,’t would only be painful, for wo can hover, from this time forward, bo any thing but tho most formal of friends. ” Tom was touched by tho simplo dig nity of tho young Russian girl, whoso quiet life hud boon spent by tho sea shore under tho shadow of tho moun tains, far from tho noise of city or town, so ho bowed to her will. Their parting was a heartbreaking ono to both. “Natalia, I can’t liear to loavo you. I must have you, dearest, ” “There, go now. This is only fool ish.” “Well, thou, let me kiss you for tho liist time, darling,” pleaded Tom. Natalia put up her little tear stained face, and Tom silently kissed her and went away. That mouth passed only too quickly for poor Tom, who looked with dread toward tho coming of tho steamer. He studiously avoided Natalia, denying himself the regular nfteruoon walk to the Indian river, which is tho ovent of the day to all the white people at Sitka. Ho kept closo to his rooms when not on board ship, cursing tho mistake of his lifo which was so soon to make an un willing bridegroom of him. To Natalia, whose soft, brown eyes were red with weeping, lifo seemed a dreary blank now that tho daily visits of Tom had ceased There appeared in her mental horizon nothing for which to live. Sho wondered how sho had exist ed boforo ho camo to Sitka. But then she had been busy with her lessons, and now, in the idea of her old fashioned father, her simplo education was com plete, and it was timo for her to marry one of tho Russian lads who sought her hand. The next stoamordny Tom Dougins was seen rushing madly to Natalia’s homo. Tho neighbors, who of course had notod liis long alwonoe, wore greatly sur prised. “Natalia, Natalia,” ho cried as soon as she cnnio into tho quaint drawing room to receive him. “I’ve como to ask you to Ik) my wife. Dearest, say yes nt. ouco. ” “Why, Tom, nro you crazy? What has become of Alico?” “Well, by George, Natalia, slio is married! Just think of it—married! And I am tho happiest man on earth. A pardoned convict’s feelings of relief aro not to bo compared to mine. You seo, soon after she left Washington she met an old sweetheart whom she had oast off to marry Mr. Doering, whoso posit ion and prospects seemed better. In tho meantime this fellow had made a fortune, and as he was on his way to Alaska for a pleasure trip they decided to make it also a wedding trip and break the news to me in person. Bather awk ward, you might think, but I congratu lated them with all my heart and tlumk od my stars for my freedom. Como, lit tle girl, put on your hut, and I'll tnko you down to tho steamer to seo the bride, and I’ll introduce to her my iliuicce, because you say, ‘Yes,’ don't you, dear?” “I supisttie so, Tom, but it's all so sudden. Shall I wear my leghorn hat?" —St. Louis Republic. BERKSHIRE PEOPLE. Tin- Spiritual and Intellectual Forces Aro Strong Ainniif Tlirni, And this region, so favored by na ture, owes much of its character and In terest to its history ns well. Settled lat er than the seucoast, the western part of tho stato was in its beginnings made up of more varied elements than tho eastern. Fromtho valley of tho Connect icut colonists pushed through tho moun tain gaps into that of the Housatonio; tho hills attracted settlers from tho flat »,<■» i.iikIs of Cape God, while tho Dutch from New York have loft in name uml character their impress upon tho Berkshire people of today. Spiritual and intellectual forces woro largely prominent in the laying of its founda tions, ami such forces have contributed und continued their influences ovor since. Missionary zeal, represented by such Dames as Eliot and Surgciuit, founded Stockbridge. Jonathan Edwards hore spent tho years which represented tho primo and fullness of his powers. Ephraim Williams, the lighter in tho French and Indian war, dying on the battlefield, left his fortune to plant and endow the college which bears liis name. Mark Hopkins, Berkshire horn and bred, another Arnold of Rugby, set his stamp upon a whole generation; throughout its history soldiers, saints and scholars have both represented and impressed its life. Tho reasonings of Jonathan Edwards, which for good and ovil have lmd ho great an influence up on theological thought, found tlieir most powerful expression in his treatiso on the will, which was written while ho lived in Stookbridge. Lenox heard tho last public utterances of dimming; his suoooMSor, Orville Dewey, horn 100 years ago (1704) at Hbelllold, long made that pinee his homo, and there, too, woro born tho two Barnards, one the presi dent of Columbia college, tho other tho soldier scholar of our civil war. Oliver Wendell Holmes lived for years at Fittslleld. Catharine Maria Sedgwick drew around her at Btockbridgo and Lenox a distinguished circle of tho bent literary society of our own country and many cultivated wanderers from the old world. Fanny Kemble hero modo for years her homo. Longfellow, Lowell, Hawthorne, Herman Melville, Beecher, G. P. It. James, George William Cur tis, Matthew Arnold and others lingered among and loved tho beauty of these hills, whore plain living and high think ing have found noble expression in tho past and where hero and there they still survive, spite of tho inflowing tide of wealth and luxury that floodH tho Berkshire of today.—Arthur Lawrence in Oentnry.

LOUIS REQUIRES $80,000 FOR THE ROUND TRIP. Bho Barn* 815,000 Worth of Coal—The Bill For Brcokoffo In No Small Affair. Salaries of Officers and Men Are Small, but Some of Them Get Largo Fee*. The cost of running n big ocean grey honml to Europe and hack roaches into the thonsands. A transatlantic liner is really n floating hotel, and everything on board is conducted on the snmo scale of lavishness that is found in a fashion able Fifth avenue hotel. Clement A. Oriscom, Jr., son of the president of the line controlling the St. Louis, agreed to give sumo figures to a world reporter covering the exponso of her voyage to England and book. Ho flgurcl for some time and then said tlmt the expenses of tho round trip of n steamer like the St. Louis average be tween |(10,000 owl$S0,000, nocordlng to the Reason. Tho voyage between tho two i>ortH takes a trifle more than seven days, making the daily cost of operating in the busy season something like $5,600. No single individnnl on tho St. Louis gets a large salary. The captain heads tho list, getting about $5,000 a year. Captains on smaller passenger steamers only receive $8,000 a year. Tho chief officer of a ship like the St Louis gets $1,600, and tho bulk of tho heavy work really falls on his shoulders. The sec ond officer’s pay ranges from $000 to $1,300, according to the size of the ship, while the third and fourth officers only get from $000 to $000. All of these men have to perform duties of a re sponsible kind, and as there aro no bo nuses attached to their work it can be seen that they aro not overpaid. The crow of tho St Louis numbers ■110 men. Two hundred of these are in tho engineer’s department, and all of them are directly under the authority of the chief. Tho steward’s department is the next largest, numlieriug 170 in all. The sailors, including the deck offi cers, number but 40. Tho engineer’s department is tho most expensive on the ship, owing to the immense coal bills. Tho Ht. Louis burns more than 800 tons a day, or about 4,600 tons tho round trip. This means an expenditure of $15,000 nlouo. The salaries of the men, tho engineering supplies, including the thousand and one things needed fur tho vast machin ery of a great ship, will require an ex penditure of $5,000 every round trip. The chief engineer draws $8,0(H) n year, and his immediate assistants re ceive $1,500, $1,300 anil $1,000 respec tively. Tho stokers or firemen average about $8o a month, and the furnaces of the St. Louis require 180 of them work ing in different shifts. The purser, who is a most important person on board, does not get much in tho way of salary, ns tho compuny in fixing liis pay figured on tho large bonuses lie receives for changing money *•.<- a,> m. s_al. the wealthy traveler does not hesitate to pay for lilierully. His salary is only $1, 000 a yeur, but he mukes another $3,000 in foes and sometimes considerably more. The ship's surgeon only receives $000 a year for tho sumo reason. He is brought in contact with numerous real and fancied invalids of the wealthy class, and although no one is compelled to fee him few fail to do so, and a big, popular ship like the 8t. Louis is worth to him at least $8,000 to $4,000 a year. The steward’s department is one of tho costliest on the ship. Tho provisions for a round trip cost in the neigldsirhoixl of $13,000, and tho salaries of the stew ard’s men amount, to $8,000 more. The stewards are the least paid of any on tho ship, for the reason that in tho foes of the passengers they colloctn consider able sum annually. All tho pay they got is $30 a month, but they take in $40 a month in tills. The seasick man and woman aro always willing to give their last cent for some littlo sorvico. Tho ohief steward receives $1,500 a ye<r and also comes in for his share of the tips, as it is within his power to plueo many delicacies in the way of the liberal tourist. Tho chief cook is a groat man on the ship, almost as great as the captain, and in all makos$8,«()0a yoarontof his job. Tho breakage and wear and tear on tho ship and its furniture are very heavy, requiring an expenditure in incidentals of about $5,000 each round trip. Them are countless things to lx> replaced, and a comparatively little thing like tho washing of tho ship's linen means an ex penditure big enough to support a man for a year in tho lap of luxury. Hero aro some odd facts alsnit tho Ht. Louis: There are fully 1,000 tons of piping of various kinds in the ship. The condensers will pump up at least 50, 000,000 gallons of oool water a day. The furnaces will consume no less than 7,600,000 cubic feet of air an hour. The boiler tubes, if placed in a straight linn, would stretch nearly 10 miles und the condenser tidies more than 35 miles. The total number of separate pieces of steel in tho main structure of the ship is not less than 40,000, und the total num ber of cubic feet of timber used in tho construction is more than 100,000. Tho total number of rivets is not far from 1,350,000.—New York World. SCOTCH HUMOR. ft Crop/i Out Occasionally Amonf BId*r> of the Kirk. Tho oldernf the kirk, like meet of uh, can blunder oeoiuiionully. Tlie pastor of a small villngO on tho borders had gone for a few days to visit some relatives, when an old lady was suddenly stricken down and not exixxted to livo more than a few hours. The elder was hastily summoned to attend; hut, having been lately elected to the jsist, which he hud ■coopted in order to satisfy tho vanity jf his wife, he did not feel able to faoo the trying ordeal. His wife entreated him to do his duty, mid whispering a few lines of Heripture into his ears sent, him off on his errand. An hour later his wife behold him stepping homeward as brisk us u March hare. She inquired how ho hud come on. “Oh, lino, woman, flnol" was tho re ply. "She was doid when I got therol” A short time ugo, when disestablish ment was in overylxxly's mouth, an old lady created quito a sensatiou in a church not fur from Annan. Having Ix'on from home a considerable time, she was unaware that the election of olders had taken place. Sho attended Borvices the following Sunday, when tho lninistor, commenting on the result, re marked that in David Richardson tho church had a new pillar of strength, to which she retorted: “Whntl David Richardson a pillar! Nae wonder the auld kirk's gaun to fa’I” David, who had tho misfortune to have a wooden leg and a hump buck, quietly rose up and answered: ‘‘Wheo ht, yo gowk. Criffel’s (a mountain in tho neighbor hood) not straight!” On one occasion the minister met Donald coming from Dumfries Rood fair in rather a muddled state. ‘‘David! David! Do I see your douhlo?” ‘‘Eh, guidsakes, minister!” exclaimed tho older. “Guidsakes, nro yofou taof” A minister, feeling indisposed on one occasion, did not put in an appearance, and tho older, apologizing for his nb Bonco, gavo it out that “his reverence was unco bad in the roomuttic” (for so ho pronounced the word rheumatism) “and couldn’t get out." On hearing this startling intelligence nn old lady who happened to bo pres ent shriokod out: “Eh, that auld hizzy o’ his!

For they know that vast shoals of tho little fish are on their way from the coast of Africa np through the bay of Biscay to tho north, and that they must be caught, if at all, as they pass. When any one soos the water agitated, word spreads rapidly and the boats put out from tho shore and race to tho shoal. Wlion the net is extended, tho water is "baited" by throwing twills of “roquo” into it. As the bait dissolves and sinks tho sardines rise and remain long after to nibble it, and their doom is sealed. For this reason “roquo” is a most important part of the sardine fish erman’s outfit. It is made of the eggs of mackerel luul codfish mixed with clay, and is rather expensive, costing from 2f> shillings to 70 shillings n barrel. Within tho curing factories or can neries everything is bustle and confu sion, for there must not tie a moment’s delay in cleaning tho flail. All night long tho work is carried on by the light of blazing oil wicks. The sardines are spread out on benches or tables, whoro salt is dusted over them. Then tho women go along and snip off tho heads with great scissors. Tho little flat lxixos so well known to commerce are taken one by one and filled from the glistening pile of fish, after which pure olive oil from the province of Bari, in Italy, is poured over them and the tops soldered on. In the meantime a great caldron of hot water 1ms been raised to tho boiling point ready for the real operation of cooking tho fish. Tho sealed boxes are thrown into it uud left for two or three hours. If any oil appears on the top of tho water, the master workman knows thut some oan has uot been properly soldered, and tho loss is charged tip to tho man who did the work. A good wurkmuu will not lose moro than two or throo boxes in 100,—New York Re corder. Tho Work of tho Heart. One of the most remarkablo things about the heart is the amount of work it does. Considering the orgiui ns a pump whose task is to deliver a known quantity of blood against a known "lieud,” it is easy to show that in 24 hours a man’s heart does about 124 foot tons of work. "In other words, ” says a contemporary, "if the whole force ex pended by tho heart in 24 hours were gathered into one huge stroke, such a power would lift 124 tons one foot from tho ground. A similar calculation lias boon made respecting tho amount of Work expended by the muscles involved In breathing. In 24 hours those muscles do about 21 foot tons of work. ” A Mol).
