IN DISGUlSfi "Mrs. Wade, I want a bum'll of your lovely carnations—not now, but about three o'clock. I am going away this afternoon." It was the sweetest voice imagin able tha t uttered the words, and Mrs. Waite, looking up, saw the daintiest figure that hud ever crossed her humble threshold. Slender and petit**, and set off with a jaunty suit of blue and white cloth, with a drooping Leghorn hat tipped over the arch, smiling face. "Bless your bright eyes, Miss Bess, but you shall have them," said the woman heartily. "And you're going to leave me ! Well—well ! you'll never be forgotten: but how Nora will miss you." "Where is Nora? Oh, at the hotel, I suppose." "No," said the other, her face clouding, Nora is sick—very sick. She came home yesterday complain ing of terrible pains in her head, and now she lies in a burning fever." "Oh, poor Nora!" exclaimed Bess Bonville, sympathetically. "You must have the doctor." "Yes, I've sent for him. Will you see her, Miss Bess!" With a nod the young girl step ped lightly to the adiacent room where Nora Wade lay among the pillows, her face Hushed and her eyes unnaturally bright. "Here's Miss Bess," said her mother; "and she's going away to day." "Yes," said Bess, sitting down be side her and taking one hot hand in her own soft, cool ones. "I have stayed longer now than I intended to—six weeks—and now it will be nearly the middle of the season be fore I reach Newport. But I have enjoyed this quiet visit with Aunt Harriett." "It is very gay in the village," said Nora. "I sold a great basket of flowers yesterday, and got several orders. But here I am, and mother has not walked that far for years. I shall lose my customers." The lust words were spoken al most tearfully, and the sick girl's face grew sad. "There is to be a dance to-night," she went on, "and I shall have to disappoint them all. And I pro mised so many !" Bess Bonville knew what the caprices of these rich ladies und haughty bells were, and she under stood Nora's anxiety. Her eager mind seized upon the simplest way out of the difliculty, and her brown eyes sparkled at the novelty of the idea. "You shall not lose your custom ers, Nora," she said; brightly. "Mrs. Wade will you arrange the flowers? I am going to the hotels." "You !" cried the two women in unison, and then Mrs. Wade broke out into vehement protestation "Oh, no, Miss Bess, it wouldn't do. You go and sell flowers to the ladies there, carry Nora's basket way to the village, and go up to the hotels—why, I couldn't think of it. And your fine clothes and pretty face—why, they'd know you were one of them." "I am going," said Bess, decisive ly. "I shall wear a dress of Nora's, and no one would suspect. Besides I'm going to leave this place, you know. So put up the flowers, and I promise you I shall come back yvith an empty basket." And urged to action, Mrs. Wade obeyed, while Bess exchanged her pretty garments for a dark print dress that belonged to Nora, and reaching just to her shoe-tops, seem ed to detract at least three years from lier age. Then she shook down her luxuriant brown hair, twisted it in a loose plait, and tied a broad-brim med hat upon her head. The transformation was complete, and I doubt if her dearest friend would have recognized her without a second scruitny of that dimple face, half hidden by the big hat. "I wish Aunt Harriet could see me now," thought Bess, as she trugged along the dusty road with the basket of fragrant bloom upon her arm. "Playing the part of the flower girl. Well, I have done it before, at the Charity Ball, but my appearaneo was somewhat different. This is no light burden after all ; hut there is Bayville House in sight, and I begin to tremble. Courage, Bess Bonville, the curtain rises, and since you have a part to play, see that you play it well." At the Bayville House the trial was soon over, and Bess felt her spirits rise. It was amusing after all to cater to those fine ladies with their condescending mannor and cold indifference. Bess did not mind being humble, but she wondered if their airs did in not vex and grieve Nora, who was not comforted by the consciousness i that she was a leading statesman's daughter and acknowledged belle. At the last hotel she visited a group of young men were gathered on the piazza, just one side of the broad steps she must ascend. One of them a dark, handsome man, spoke to her as she passed. "My good girl, can you supply us with boutonnieres?" The tone was careless but his glance made Bess flush ; still she paused demurely. "How many sir ?" she asked in low tones. "Oh, as many as there coat lapels lacking the sweet adornment.'' "She stood there long enough to make up a half dozen tiny bouquets and then withdrew, but Leo Travers looked after her with admiring gaze. "A bouquet girl with the face of an angel," ho said enthusiastically. "Such eyes, such a rosebud mouth, such dimpled hands. By Jove! I must see tins rustic beauty again." So it chanced, when Bess Bonville left the broad road, and struck into the gruzzy path leading over the cliffs, she saw Leo Travis and a companion advancing toward her. She had thrust back her hat, and was swinging her basket, trolling a gay love song. she saw them, but her sweet voice had completed the charm to her beauty. "All we meet again !" said Travis, with a boldness he had not assumed at the hotel. for to an in is is of ril "I to She ceased when 'You havo sold all your wares, anil your heart is as light us your basket. Are you going home ?" With an inclination of her head, Bess attempted to pass ; hut he stood before her. "You'll not leave ns like that?" he said, smilingly. Gome, tell us your name—a pretty one, I vow, if I may judge by your face." "Sir, your words are an insult !" said Bess, with her brown eyes Hash ing. "An insult! I like that !" he cried, with a laugh. "Many ladies would appreciate the compliment ; and yon a flower girl, take offense !" "You would not speak like that to the so-called ladies," answered Bess, scornfully. "And because I am a flower-girl does not debar me from the right of that title in its true sense." She was prettier than ever in her true dignity and scorn, with that sparkle in her beautiful eyes, and a rosy flush on her cheeks ; so pretty that Leo Travis forgot prudence and courtesy. "By Jove! you are a girl of spir it !" lie exclaimed. "But those red lips shall pay for the sharp word !" "Travis !" said his friend, war ningly. But lie had sprang forward and clasped the slender form of the girl. Boss cast a despairing glance at him, encouraged by his tone ; but she saw she could expect nothing from him. Ho was regarding the scene with a look half-annoyed, half amused. "Now my little beauty, where is your spirit ? Subdued and you are in my power," said Travis. "One kiss and I release you." Bess struggled, but lie held her flrmly and bent his dark head ; his eyes were burning into her own with a mocking light, and his mus taclied lips almost touched her cheek. She threw hack her head with a cry ; and at that instant a stalwart form bounded to her side, and Travis was hurled violently away. "For shame, Travis !" exclaimed the newcomer. "You deserve a threshing, nnd wore you not my mother's guest, I should be tempted to give it to you. And you too Dun can, to permit this insult. Is there no spirit of chivalry within you ? "You are eloquent in your defense of a flower girl," sneered Travis. "I meant but to pay her for her inso lence." "What would be thought of you if I repeated an account of this scene ?" said the other. "There are no excuses to palliate your offense. I think-" "Excuse me. Lectures are not to my taste, Tliaxton ; we will with draw," said Travis, and he and his companions disappeared down the winding path. Bess raised her eyes to the voung man's face. "I thank you," she said gratefully. "What should I have done had you not appeared. "I fear you would have been the victim of that man's impertinence and discourtesy," was the answer. "Luckily, I had selected this spot to is in which to pass an liour or two with my book ; there is a knoll yon der and pleasant shade. But you need not fear to visit the hotels. Leo Travis will not repeat the offense, for he leaves to-morrow with our party for Newport." A faint,smile hovered upon the girl's lips for an instant. "Will you permit me to accom pany you to the end of the path?" asked Cyril. "You are kind, but I prefer to go alone," said Bess, with a smile that atoned for her formal words ; and she went on swiftly, leaving him to think of the luminous brown eyes and sweet red lips. A feeling akin to sadness fell upon him when he thought they had met for the first and last lime. Was it to be the Inst time? Bess Bonville went on her way homo with a smile, and what she thought then may be guessed an account of a scene three days later. A ball at the Ocean House, New port. Two young men conversing in low tones. "Tliaxton, the belle of the place is Senator Bonville's daughter. She is a perfect beauty, and Mrs. Way land has promised to present us. If such a thing as love exists, I be lieve my time has come." "Hush, Travis ! here's Mrs. Way land now." It was Mrs. Wayland, and beside her a vision of such rare beauty that even here among so much loveli ness, it shone resplendent. Heavy white satin and costly gems glistened and flashed in the gaslight. The cameo-like face was of wonderful tints, and the black lashed eyes were like the depths of wine, deep, dark and sparkling. "All, gentlemen, well met, said Mrs. Wayland, pausing. "Miss Bon ville, allow me—Mr. Travis and Mr. Thaxton." The senator's daughter inclined her head gracefully, but her eyes rested with a laughing light on Cy ril Thaxton's puzzled face. "You have already Iraced the re semblance, Mr. Tliaxton," sho said. "I wonder if Mr. Travis is less acute. A look of scorn flashed into her eyes as she turned to the latter. Si multaneously they recognized her, and Leo Travis knew that his fate was sealed. She told the story to Cyril Thax From that time they were fust friends, and ere the season was over she had dismissed her reti nue of followers, and the reason flashed from a brilliant gem on her left hand. "At last I am Love's captive," saiil Cyril Thaxton to her. He came to me in disguise, but now I know him and acknowledge his sovereign ty." ton later.

All drug gists. A pretty child smilingly asked her mother why fish are so full of splinters. Thore are 40,000 reptiles kept in one room in the Smithsonian Insti tute at Washington. It is needless to add they are kept in alcohol. If the world were willing to ac cept most men at their own valua tion it would have to go into invol untary bank-ruptcy in a fortnight. Edward Atkinson says the two things most needed in those days arc: First, for rloli mon to find out how poor men five, and second, for poor men to find out how rich men work. If a delinquent and a half should come up and pay a dollar and a half in a year and a half and editor and a half would then stand some chance of getting a meal and a half occasionally. It is said that the Chinese remedy for small-pox is to make the patient beat a drum. If he can do it he is all right. Formerly they used to beat the patient to cure him, but civilization progresses even in China. Mother (who with her little boy is dining at a friend's)—Johnnie, I am really ashamed of you. You never behave so badly at home. Johnnie—I know it, ma, but when I have a chance'at a good dinner like this I'm apt to get ex eked. FARMERS' DEPARTMENT to the Faria will from the Farmers Articles pertaining t be cheerfully accepted in this vicinity. The fruit of next season is really made now. If the young strawber ries be kept clean and in growing condition they will return pay for the labor bestowed when they ma ture. If the cool nights have injured or retarded early plants replace them with other. Where a piece of land is to be laid out in the fall for autumn planting of small fruits it should be plowed now and kept constantly cultivated, so us to kill all grass and weeds. Be careful in burning out the ap ple tree worms with kerosene, as the limbs of the trees may be injur ed. If rightly done, however, there is no bettor mode of destroying the worms. Do not use kerosene or other irri tating oils on the bodies of animals to destroy insects or lice. Common lard-oil is as good as anything else, as all kinds of grease is fatal to in sects. Flavor the lard-oil with a spoonful of oil of pennyroyal. Butter used in cooking needs to be us sweet as any other. If sweet and sour cream are mix ed together nearly all the sweet cream goes into the buttermilk. Of all the geraniums he sure and have some of the scented-leaved ones. They are thrifty growers, and are not bothered by insects. There is no labor that will better than working over green ma nure till it is fine, and mixingsome thing with it to prevent it becoming lumpy again. Do not disturb old strawberry plants until after the fruit shall iiave been picked. Then work them well so as to loosen the ground for the runners. pay Care of Cows. For a considerable period before and after calving, cows should have the best care, for until their calving is safely over the life of every cow is in jeopardy. The cow first shows heavy in calf after the sixth month, and from that timo on she should not bo permitted to overexert her self in any way calculated to excite the system and cause aportion Wading through deep snow, mud or litter are some of the severe exertions cows are apt to suffer from ; they should therefore, as far as possible, be guarded against. Newly calved cows should never run with those yet to calve, as every good manager knows. Great care should be taken in feeding cows that are soon to come in, for if they are kept in too high condition there is great danger of inflammatory action at tne time of part urition. Dry food generally aggravates inflammatory action. Be sides thererfore, feeding but small quantities of food, it is well to use that of a laxative nature. When feverish symptoms are observed a treatment of laxative medicine and emollient drinks are beneficial. An old-fashioned but reliable reciept is a dose consisting of one pound of Epsom salts with some cordial ad mixture such as ginger and caraway seed in warm oatmeal gruel or bran mash. Sound roots are also useful, being laxative. Nothing however, is better before calving than oil cake as a laxative, along with the other feeding materials. It may be fed at the rate af four pouuds daily, for one month before and one month after calving, where succulent food, sucli as roots, is also used. In our own e xperience witli dairy cows there is nothing like a diet of mash es containing oil oake given before and after oalving as a prevenative of bad results at and after pururition. As a well known British writer has said, "oil oake proves a laxative to the fat, and nurishing food to the lean cow." While aiming to prevent obesity in calving cows the farmer should also see that they are not too thin, for over leanness is as much to be avoidep as over fatness. The happy medium between too fat and too lean is the safe point and as well as the proper condition, the cow should have warm quarters to calve in and warmed water to drink. Over salted bay should on no account be fed to cows before calv ing and musty hay is also unfit for such use. "I*a." said little Jonnie Swilligan, "here's a piece in the paper about parasites; what are they ? "Parasites, my boy, arc people j who five in Paris. I think you 1 ought to know that, and you in the I third reader." Finest Country House in America. Almost every American has heard of J. C. Flood, the California million aire, but very few are aware of the fact that Mr. Flood is the owner of the most magnificent country house and grounds in North America. The estate is at Menlo Park, near Kan Francisco, and during Mr. Flood's illness is closed to tourists. Gossiper was a privileged visitor, and can therefore picture the scenes denied to hundreds of others this season. The estate covers 1,000 acres, and is under the charge of a landscape gardener and 120 assist ants. Tile drives are several miles The in length, and are made of white The gravel kept spotlessly clean, foliage, shrubbery and (lowers are beyond description. Everything is a "symphony in white and gold." The porter's lodge is a boautiful cot tage near the only entrance to the grounds and the great gates are white and gold. The grounds arc lighted by hundreds of gas lamps with ground glass shades, the gas being made on the place. .Statuary of the most chaste and elegant de sign and of exquisite workmanship gives a finish to the velvet-like lawns, and closely trimmed hedges. But the house is the main attraction of the place. It is built in a style of architecture that might be term ed French, although not decidedly of that school. It is dazzling white, the roofs are of black slate in pat terns, and the decorations are all in gold. Even the inside blinds and tlic furnishings are white and gold, and this effect has been preserved in the finishings of the servants hall, the superb stable and all the build ings on the premises. The house stands on an eminence and over looks one of the most beautiful lawns that art could produce. Foun tains splash on every side, a terrace of ivy ami flower stems in the east ern view, while a bank of violets and a wall of roses temper the force of the ocean breezes and perfume them. The perfect creation of an artistic mind, with all the necessary funds to maintain it in its perfection Flood's palace stands unrivalled in America, a typical home of a self made millionaire. A Stab in the Dark Sometimes fails of its murderous in tent. The insidious and dastardly attacks made upon the reputation of Hostetter's Stomache Bitters by persons who seek to palm off cheap and fiery tonics cal with it, or" the same thing under au good," in ident i " equally other name,' most instances react disastrously upon the unprincipaled traders upon popnlar credulity who attempt them, coverting their speculations into ruinous failures. The Bitters is a pure, wholesome and thorough mcdiciue, adopted to the total and prevention of fevor anti aguo, billious remittent, dyspepsia, constiapa tion, biliousness, debility, nervousness and kidney troubles. Its every ingred ient, unlike those in tho imitations of it, is of an ascertained standard of excel lence, and while they, by reason of their fiery properties, react injurionsly upon the brain and nervous system, of both those, organs it is a sedative and invigor ant. Refuse all these harmful imita tions. A young Périgord workman re cently won the $100,000 prize in the Nice lottery, and has since had ap plications for help from the starving poor that would have consumed his winnings ten times over, and has, besides, been pestered almost to death by personal calls from all sorts of people. Judge—The witness swears you stole his coat and have it on. I must, therefore, find you guilty.
