Sweet Charity.
It WM a pretty boudoir where Eloise
Arnold lay drows nj* ltwajr, the morn
Ing after « moonlight fete at Beech
wood; it was elegant to the point of
exoew lis white nnd gold appointment*.
Among lliom Eloiwe lay clad In a law
gown adorned with p nk and blae bow»,
und a break fast cap that made her
look Ike a delicate bisque statuette
put awny in a box.
"What!" exclaimed Adah Bartlett,
a* «Ii« came in in her riding habit
•'Not up yet?"
"Oil, yes," taid Eluise, smiling tip
nnd down again. "Moonlight fetes are
very charming, but 'they're hard on
I lie j'ints,' as Mammy Meg says. I
baye the rheumatism—just fancy—
rheumatism in June!"
"I'm sorry," snid Adah, with a sym
pathetic change of countenance. "I
wanted you to take a run with mc
across to Mrs. Bryant's. Walter is
home now. you know."
"Is he?" said Eloise. "I think he is
such a nice bo.'. What a blessing it
was that Mrs. Bryant had such % son
to comfort her when her husband
d cd."
"Yes, Walter is a splendid fellow,
end so bright at his books. He brought
.1 gold medal with him from college;
but I believe he is not going back next
tuitumn."
"Not going back! Why, what can
b : s mother bo thinking of P"
••It is not a lack of inclination on
the part of either of them." Adah ob
served. •They say Walter is just sick
at tho idea of giving up his degree to
go lk an office; but you know, Eloise,
that Mr. Bryant was very much invol
ved. The farm is mortgaged, and Mrs.
Bryant really cannot afford to send
Wal tor to col lege. She has very hard
work making ends meet at home. Oh,
1 do wish I were rich! What a pleas
ure it would bo to help a young fellow
like Walter get his education!"
Eloiso laughed outright.
"What a sly minx you are, Adah!"
sho said, taking her friend's hand.
•• 'Miss Arnold, why don't you do It;'
BhP Well," she added, more soberly,
"I am rich, they tell me. I have just
come into a fortune of three hundred
thousand; but being blessed with a pe
nurious guardian, I havn't much
chance to exercise charity. Still, I
might do something,"she said thought
fully. "I wonder if I couldn't earn
eome money for himP"
"Earn money!" cried Adah, to whom
Buoh a thought hud never occurred.
"HowP"
• Well, I don't know," said Eloise,
slowly. "But I have often thought I
would better get something to do, just
lo keep tho balauce of my mind. I
think idleness and luxury would spoil
mc In course of time. I always said
that a rich woman ought to earn money
as well as a poor one, if she only gave
it for charity. It does one good to
learn how hard it is to make a sover
eign; one doesn't squander money as
thoughtlessly then."
"Dear me!" said Adali. "What t
moralist you nrcP"
••I hadn't thought much about it,"
laid Eloise, gravely; "but you <jan
count on me, Adah. I will do some
thing for Walter Bryant"
"You are a dear generous girl,'
said her friend, warmly, "It would
do me good to help you; but you know
^ have so many poor of my own to
look after. Thero is my Uncle Bob's
family, you know, and
"I'd rather do this all by myself, if
«... A 'A. I 11 „II T!*l _ » _ -
yoa don't mind," said Eloise, earn
estly.
And Adah went away, wishing there
were more girls like her.
When she had gone, Eloiso got up
and hunted the morning paper. Her
rheumatism was practically gone.
"When people have nothing to do,"
the observed, as she read over all the
advertisements for "Help Wanted" in
Lho paper, "they imagine thoy have all
sorts of ailments, when they really have
nothing but a lack of purpose."
As her eyes ran over the column of
•'Females Wanted," she noticed the
following advertisement:
W anted —Some person to teach French
oral); to a gentleman wlio is going abroad
■nù Is unable to study on account of his eyes.
Call betjreen It and 3. at 639 SUverdale road.
"That's mo!" said Eloise, ungram
matically. "I'll order the phaeton,
and No, that won't da They
might think it strauge if I came in a
carriage. I'll put on my plainest dress,
and go in an omnibus."
This explained r„ certain modest, but
jrsceful little figure, that found its way
Into the room whore Mrs. Landell was
tva ting.
She was a handsome woman, with n
bard, proud mouth, aud gray eyes,
i,hat looked Eloiso through and
through.
"You aro rather young," she said,
coldly. "What are your qualifica
ionsP"
"My mother was a Frenchwoman,"
Eloise answerod, quietly, "and I was
born in France. I learned the lan
guage when I was a baby."
"That is some advantage,"said Mrs.
Lsndeli. "My nephew wishes some
one with a correct accent You can
furnish references, of courseP"
"I can."
••Very well, I will call Mr. Landell.
tf you are agreeable to him, and your
references satisfactory, I will send you
word in a few days, and we can talk
tbout the salary."
Sho left the room, with a slight in
clination of the head, and Eloise wait
ed sometime before a gentleman, with
t fall black beard, and a green shade
over his eyes, came in to talk with
her.
In feeling his way to a chair, he al
most fell over a low ottoman, and
feloise put out her bauds and led him
tafely to a seat.
"I am almost entirely blind," he
laid, woarily.
"I am very sorry," was the gentle
reply.
He turned his head quickly.
"You are a lady, he said. "I can
tell by your voice. I did not want a
man. It makes me envious, when I
see other men well and strong, with
good eyes, while I am "
He stopped abruptly.
"You speak French?"
"Yes," Eloise answered.
••Well, I can understand a good deal.
I want you to talk to me—talk abont
anything. Tell me what you see in
Ifr. room."
Eloise glanced around. Over the
piantel hung the portrait of a fine
Jeast
looking man. Her eyas rested on tfc
and she began fluently in ireoob:
"That picture over the mantel re
sembles some one whom I know. The
hair grows down on the forehead in «
very nnusual way. One doesn't sec
that very often."
"It is my grandfather," said Herbert
LandelL "Nearly all of the Herberts
had that peculiar.ty. My great-grand
father, Walter Herbert locked in the
same way."
"How very odd!" exclaimed Eloise.
•The boy who resembles your grand
father is called Walter, too—Wsltei
Bryant"
"Walter Bryant!" echoed Mr.
Landell, with a perceptible start.
"What do you know about him?"
"He is a very nice boy," Eloise con
tinued—"very clever and gentlemanly.
I am very much interested in him."
"Where does he live?" asked Mr.
Landell in the peremptory manner pcr
mitted to invalids. "Tell me all about
him."
"He lives out of town. His father is
dead!" echoed Herbert Landell. "Poor
boy. What does his mother do? Has
she anything to live on?"
"Not much. Walter has to leave
college, and it is a great pity, for he is
very smart, thoy say."
"Ah, that is a p.ty. 1 suppose I
should have had to leave college if it
had not been for my aunt. What n
poor beggar I should have been—blind
and penniless."
He roused himself suddenly with the
reooliection that lie was confiding rath
er freely in a stranger.
"I will not detain you, Miss Arnold"
he saiiL "You will probably hear from
Mrs. Landall in a few days."
So Eloise left him; but she was sent
for soon, an« before long became a daily
visitor at tho Laudell's.
Herbert was extremely partial to her
society. He saw nothing of the world,
could read nothing,and never went out
except for exercise.
In this situation, he took great inter
est in small things, and had soon fer
reted out the whole story of Walter
Bryant, though Eloise modestly with
held from the fact of her generous in
tentions.
To him she was simply a clever
young girl who earned her living and
whom ho liked exceedingly.
The summer wore away, and Walter.
Bryant learned that lie had at his dis
posal another term at college.
"I will accept it as a loan, Miss Arn
old," he said, gratefully; "but when I
am able, you must let me pay you
back."
Herbert Landell did not hear of Ill's;
he only learned that Walter was to go
back for another term of school at
cominf."
"He must go for good," he said decid
edly, "I have made up my mind, M ss
Arnold. You must take mo to see Iiis
mother. I have another proposition
to make, too. If my aunt were to ask
you, would you—could you—go with
us to the cont nent next month?"
Eloise's face Hushed.
"No," she said, quickly, "I could
not."
"Why?"
"Recause I—I—believe mo, Mr.
Landell, it is impossible."
A look of intense disappointment
came over his face.
• What am I to do without you?" lie
said bitterly. "Oh, if I wero not go
ing blind—if I were not so dependent—
I would take you with me. Ah, Elo se,
if 1 could only mako you my wife, 1
would not mind the dark days that are
He buried his face in his hands; but
her own soft fingers uncovered his palo
cheeks, and her soft arms stolo shyly
around his neck.
'I—I can't marry you unless you
ask me," she whispered. "Oh, didn't
you know it was because I could not
stay with you, and hide my heart, that
I wished to go away? Herbert, I "
He took her in his arms.
"My darling!" lie said, w th perfect
joy. "I love you so that I cannot re
fuse the precious gift of your heart.
Will you marry a poor blind man,
Eloise? I shall not be rich, my dar
ling. There w 11 be just enough for
us to be happy on."
'I will marry you," Jjloise said,
thinking contentodly of her own for
tune; but she said nothing.
"I might have had more," he went
on, "but I had no right to it It be
longed to Walter—your Walter ByranL
He is my half-cousin, Eloise. Iiis
mother and Mrs. Landell were half
sisters to my father; but Mrs. B\ rant
married beneath her, and my grand
mother disowned her. Mrs. Landeil
inherited her mother's entire fortune,
and would have left it to mc, but after
what you have told mo about Walter, 1
could not be happy and lake his right
ful inher tance. I have done every
thing I could to reconcile my aunt and
her sister, but never until yesterday
have I had the faintest hope of success.
To-day. I have the happiness of know
ing that the breach of years has been
closed. Mrs. Bryant will come here to
live while Mrs. Landell is abroad; and
Walter will have his own."
"My bravo Herbert!" cried Eloise.
"I am proud of you. But you need
not miss the fortuno you have sacrific
ed. In its place I offer mine. I am
the mistress of Cedarcroft"
So her littlo story came out, too, nnd
Mrs. Landell was so much enchanted
at the discovery, tiiat the lost trace of
her resentment towards Herbert's rival
died away.
Walter Bryant soon becamo as mue h
a favorite of hers as he was of Her
bert and Eloise.
Mrs. Laudell did not go broad as
she intended, but staved at home to
make Cedarcroft ready for the Uridc
and groom, who took in the continent
on their wedding trip
It was a sunny day when Eloise aud
Herbert returned.
He was wear.ng the green shade no
longer; but instead a pair of glasses^
by the aid of wh.ch he was able to see
quite plainly.
The great oculist he had consulted,
and who had operated on them, said
his eyes never would bo strong, but
they will last a lifetime.
For this Eloise ami Herbert are too
thankful to be dissatisfied.
"Never in mv life,"' observed Adah
Bartlett "have I seen such an instance
of the return of bread cast upon the
waters; and it didn't take many davs,

THAT TRICKY GULF STREAM.
I ta Current Retarded or Accelerated
by the Wind.
The officers of the steamship Ar
danach. which arrived from Projrrcso.
Mex co, on Thursday, are not tho only
ones who have had occasiou to lind
fault with the gulf stream in the last
week. The Steamer Eureka, from New
Orieans. passed along about the same
course as the Ardanach and uolicud
sliat the current of the gulf stream had
almost ceased during a part of the
passage, and at one t.me observed a
sudden difference in temperature.
Similar reports have often been made
before the United Staien branch hydro
graphic office in the Maritime Ex
change.
Lient V. L Cottman, who is in
charge of the office, pulled out a num
ber of reports from captains for the
last few da^s and showed how they
had met strong northeast and norther
ly winds, and this was the cause of the
retardation of the current. Lieut
Pillsbury, who had spent much time in
studying the gulf stream, had found
this to happen often. That tiie wind
so affected the surface of tho water had
been shown by the drifting of wrecks.
The gulf stream watf rather uncertain,
and on account of this tho government
charts of the stream had been taken off,
as the limits of tho current couid not
be defined with certaintr. Capt Gar
vin of the steamer Orinoco, who for
years sailed over the gulf stream, has
held that the speed of the currcnt can
never be relied upon. An oppos to
wind retarded the current or tho sur
face of the current, while a south
westerly wind accelerated it. Cross
winds had no effect upon it.
During the coming winter the Unit
ed States vessel Blake, under command
of Lieut. J. E Pi'.lsbur}*, will continue
to investigate the gulf stream currents,
and a valuable report is expected
therefrom. She will anchor 500 miles
northeast of Barbadoes Island during
January and first part of February, and
will be in the track of South Atlantic
vessels bound to the United States.
The last part of February and until
May she will be between the West
India Islands beginning at Trinidad
and ending at the cold Bahama chan
nel. When at anchor she will hoist
three balls from the fore-topmast stay,
and at night will show three lights—
red, white and blue. Shipmasters
when in her vicinity are requested to
look out for her and keep clear of hei
lt is expected that Lieut Phils'oury's
report will be of value to mariners,
and that something a little more fixed
will be determined in regard to the
gulf stream current.— New York
Times.
Siamese Twins in Texas.
A San Antonio spec al says: Joe
Cochran is an able-bodied full-blooded
iiegro of thirty years. He is one of
triplets and both his brothers are liv
ng. Lately lie lias "laken up with" a
negress, about 20 years old, also full
blooded, whoso name is Anna Watkins.
!)n Wednesday Anna gave birth to
îlirco children, two bo s and a girl,
riiey have taken kindly to tho bottlo
and are thriving. The girl baby
very nearly the average size, the boys
are each somewhat smaller. These
!wo boys came into the world together
for tho sufficient reason that from tho
(houlder to the elbow they are closely
jo ned. They have two heads, two
necks, four forearms, two bodies and
four legs, but arc indissolubly joined
for life. So far as thoy have afforded
opportunity for observation, they are of
Iwo separate minds and temperaments.
The pains and wants of one do not
affect the other. They are exact dupli

going into ecstasies over "the little

A Sorry Picture.
In his lecture on "Immigration" Dr.
Bemis gave a picture of the immigrant
at the low level to which he lias now
mostly fallen. On board a steamer of
tho Allan lino at her wharf in Baltimore
a large number of these people were
gathered to their feed. This was pork
and potatoes cooked together in a ket
tle with copious liquid accompaniment.
Gathered in groups on the deck about
each kettle, tho only knife in posses
sion of each grout» was used by the
first man, who cut oil a sliee of pork
and passed the knife to his 'icighbor.
Making a cup of the meat by the aid
of his palm and little fiuger, tho next
step was to secure a potato and place it
on '.he thumb end of his hand. Then
with the ladle he poured the
soup over the potato and let
it tickle down to the meat. By re
versing his hand and eating from each
end of it alternately he was able to
eat meat, potato and soup all in one
process. The sight of a ship load of
people engaged in litis occupation must
have been inspiring. — Buffalo Express.

Just now thero is a good deal of ab
surd discussion as to what is the
"proper" thing in shirt studs—one,
two or three. Tho fact as to shirt studs
is that some very fash onable men weai
three; many moro wear one. and a re
spectable number wear two, wli le the
great mass who don't worry about sucb
tr fies wear what their furnishers see
(it to make their shirts with, wh ch s
usually one. Beyond question thoy are
at present all correct and all fashion
able, in the sense that all are worn by
people of good sense and good taste.
The slow drift, however, will be to
ward three studs and away from one.

Sheep Hints.
The sheep should bo let out every
day, regardless of weather—at least,
cold weather will not hurt them, or
even a short time in a light rain or
snow, though it is not well that they
should be left out long enough for
their fleeces to get filled with water.
But they need exercise to keep them
in good health moro than do cattle
And they need a change of air from
that in their sheds. Let nny one go in
to a sheep shed early in the morning,
especially when tho litter is not frozen,
and, although it be kept well littered
and well ventilated, he will decide that
the night is long enough to breathe
such an atmosphere. Perhaps if the
sheep sheds wore cleaned out every
day as are cattle stalls it might not be
of so much importance; but this is not
generally practiced, nor is it advocated
by the best authorities.— fractical

fourth share of the third capital prize of
850,000 in the Louisiana State Lottery.

The Only Une That Gets Tbere.
It has been well said by a distin
guished writer that "the Michigan Cen
tral is the only 'Niagara Falls Route' in
the country."
It is the only railroad that runs di
rectly by the falls and stops its trains al
a point from which all parts of the falls
and rapids are in full view. From this
point, called Falls View, the scene from
the Michigan Central train, whether in
summer setting of emerald or its wintei
setting of crystal, is one of unexampled
grandeur and sublimity. As it is on the
direct route to New York, Boston, and
New England, no east-bound travelei
should fail to take advantage of it.

thirty years. Four years ago I was so afflicted with
them that I could not walk. I bought two bottles
of Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Purgative Pellets, and took
one ' Pellet ' after each meal, till all were gone. By
that time I had no boils, and have had none since. I have also
been troubled with sick headache. When I feel It coming on,
I take one or two ' Pellets," and am relieved of the headache."

«S YMPTOMS OF CATARRH.
Dull, heavy headache, obstruction of the nasal passages, dis
charges falling from the head into the throat, sometimes pro
fuse, watery, and acrid, at others, thick, tenacious, mucous,
purulent, bloody and putrid; the eyes are weak, watery, and
inflamed; there is ringing in the ears, deafness, hacking or
coughing to clear the throat, expectoration of offensive matter,
together with scabs from ulcers*, the voice is changed and has
a nasal twang ; the breath is offensive ; smell and taste are im
paired ; tbere is a sensation of dizziness, with mental depression,
à hacking cough and general debility. However, only a few or
the above-named symptoms are likely to be present in any one
case. Thousands or cases annually, without manifesting half of
the above symptoms, result in consumption, and end in the
S re. No disease is so common, more deceptive and dangerous,

years ago I suffered untold agony from
chronic nasal catarrh. My family physi

must die. My case was such a bad one,
that every day, towards sunset, my voice would become so hoarse
I could barely speak above a whisper. In the morning my cough

use of Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy, in three months, I was a well
