The speaker was curly-haired, rosy-cheeked Bessie Elton, and her s were Belle Ashley, a comp; stately brunette, apparently about twenty years of age, and Clara ►Steel, with large blue eyes and hair like burnished gold. "Yes," said Bessie, "it's a splendid idea, and will convince him that there are three girls at leust who can come in contact with his najes ty and not find him wholly iricsti ble either. 1 know I shall hate him, fur «very one extols him so, ami it is ridiculous the way all the girls are striving to captivate him. For my part, ! am going to look just as ugly as I can when lie ar rives, and thus prove to him that there is one who does not prepare for his coining," [and the red lips so bewitehingly that it seemed like an impossibility for her to put lier threat into execution. Belle and Clara were evidently of the same opinion in regard to the stranger, for they expressed them selves perfectly disgusted with this model of manhood whom every one seemed to think perfection personi fied, and who Bessie said ought to walk about bearing a card proclaim ing him to be the "Eighth Wonder of the World." "And to think," said Clara, "that every one speaks of his wealth as though that should have any influ ence in bis behalf. As far as I am concerned, 1 should like him better if lie were poor and merilod the praises lie receives." "But don't forget," said Bessie, "and fall victims to his charms, but remember our vows, and if lie doesn't get some of the conceit tak en out of him my name it not Bes sie Elton," and she tossed lier head saucily. "What's that—who is about to be deprived of his conceitedness?" usk cd Ned Harris, us lie appeared up on the scene, and throw himself full length upon the grass. "Little boys shouldn't ask quest ions," said Bessie, and she laughed mischievously, disclosing a row of pearly tectli. Ned was lier mother's brother and being only five years older than herself she never called him uncle excepting when she wished to tease him. limited "Well," said Ned, "Fred telegraphs me that, he will arrive this afternoon, and I want you girls to look charm ing, for I expect him to fall in love with one of you. But be cureful that you don't all lose your hearts, for in that case there would he trou ble in the camp." "Never fear," answered Bessie, and her red lips curled with scorn at the idea of such a thing. "We are not so susceptible to the charms ot your sex as to fall in love with everything that can smoke cigars and sport a cane." Ned looked surprised at this out burst, and then gave a low whis tie. "Well, little spitfire, Fred is no fool, and if you don't change your mind in (regard to him, before a week rolls around, you will he tlie first who baa stood proof against his charms." "Then behold in me the first one," said Bessie, proceeding toward the house, where she found every one preparing for Mr. Hiltons arrival. Bessie went at once to her room, down determined not to appet stairs. Bulla and Clara notwithstanding the dislike expressed for the new comer, proceeded to don their most becoming costumes, in order to make themselves as charming as possi ble. Ned went to the train himself to meet his college chum, and upon his arrival proceeded to make him welcome, introducing him to Miss Ashley and Miss Steele. "And where is Miss Elton, of whom I have heard you speak so often ?" questioned Fred, as they were strolling through the garden. "That's what I cannot find out," Bnid Ned, "for I haven't seen her since morning ; but I suppose she has gone over to Aunt Mattie's. It's queer too," mused Ned, "that she should leave when she knew you were coming. That isn't like Bes sie." Then as the conversation of the morning returned to him, he smiled for lie knew now to whom she refer red when she spoke of taking the conceit out of some one. Rut lie thought best not to enlighten his friend until he hud proved his sur mises correct. They returned to the house to find llessie seated on the porch reading. She hud either failed in her attempt to look ugly or forgot ten her resol ution.' for she appeared irrostible in her pale-blue lawn, which suited so well her complexion. She arose at their approach as if to return to the parlor, but Ned cal led to her to wait. She bowed very haughtily as Ned said, with a flour ish which be meant to be very ex pressive : "My friend Mr. Hilton, Bessie ; Miss Elton, Fred." pleased to make Miss El ton's acquaintance," said Fred, and as if wishing to be friends whether she desired it or not he extended his hand. As Bessie laid her small hand in his she glanced up into his face and caught two jet black eyes looking roguishly down upon her. She thought if it were not for her resolution of the morning she would like him, but she would not breuk her word for a pair of black eyos and a handsome mustache, and so with a glance which she meant to be very scornful, she begged the gentle men to excuse her, saying she was wanted in the house. "And so that is little Bessie, is it?" remarked Fred. "She certainly is a little beauty. But I wonder what was the cause of those annihilating glances which she bestowed upon me. I have certainly not made a very favorable impression upon Miss Bessie, judging from her man ner." "I Ned, producing a chair from tlie other end of the porch for his chum, and seating himself in »comfortable if not graceful position on the door step, said : "I tell you, old fellow just what's the matter. The girls have heard so much of you that they have made up their minds not to become victims to your powers of fascina tion. I inferred as much from their conversation this morhing. other girls have failed to carry out their resolutions, hut Bessie remains true to her colors." "A11 act for which I admire," said The Fred. That evening Fred was very at tentive to stately Belle, who seemed not a little proud of her conquest, and who lavished upon him her brightest Biniles and wittiest speech. When Bessie perceived this she communicated to Clara her private opinion that they were both affect ed with the "heart disease." He did not approach Bessie hut once during the evening. She was seated at the piano play ing snatches of different pieces, and lie requested her to sing "The Lov ers' Parting," which was a favorite of his, whereupon she informed him that she did not know it. "Strange !" said Fred, witli a mis chievous look in his eyes, "that Ned should tell me that you and he sang that song together the last time lie was home from college !" "Bessie blushed, ior she knew she had told an untruth ; hut she would not confess it, for, as she said to her self, that would make him feel very smart, and his opinion of himself was altogether to flattering already. "Things went on in about the same way for six weeks, Fred ap pearing indifferent andjprovokingly good-humored, and Bessie very scornful, always declining any little attentions lie might offer her, until lie began to think that she veritably hated the sight of him. About this time Ned was called away upon business, and commitcd his friend to the care of the ladies, he prepared to take his departure. Fred suggested that Bessie, Belle, Clara and himself accompany Ned to the depot. After taking leave of him, they be gan making preparations for the return, Fred proposing that one of tlie ladies sit on the front seat with him. He looked straight at Bessie, who immediately suggested that Belle should sit there, as she never liked the front seat. This arrangrment evidently suit ed Belle, hut she found her compan ion rather dull, for he appeared wholly occupied with the horses. The rest of the week was rather unpleasant for Fred, for lie could not make Bessie appear sociable, try as lie would, and he was giving up in despair. One day, upon entering the sum mer-house, ho found her sitting on a rustic seat, reading. After hoping he was not intruding he seated him self beside her. "Miss Elton," ho said, "I am thinking of taking my departure to-1 morrow, and should like to leave a message with you for Ned. "Bessie looked up, and forgetting for an instant her resolution, asked : "Must you really go? Iam sor ry, for we have enjoyed your visit so much." "Is it possible ?" exclaimed Fred, "why I thought you disliked me, and was determined to "take the conceit" out of "the Eighth Wonder of the World." "Bessie lowered her curly head, and said : "I am ashamed of my rudeness, Mr. Hilton, and-" Here she seemed to be about to burst into tears. . At this unexpected turn of affairs Fred had the audacity to wind his arm around her waist and draw the curly bead toward him until it rested on bis shoulder, and strange to say, Bessie diil not resist. Then he spoke so low that it was impos sible to ascertain what he said, but presently Bessie pushed back her curls which were considerably dis placed, and replied that she might be induced to comply with his re quest providing he did not smother her with kisses before that time. At this juncture Ned appeared at the door. He had been in the house and failing to find Fred had come in quest of him. "But what does this mcanj?" said he, with a roguish twinkle in his eye. "It means," said Fred, that Bessie and I have concluded to be 'one'— which one is left for us to determine after the all-important event takes place. But the funniest part of all is that after Christmas I shall have to call you Uncle Ned. Thirty Facts Worth Knowing. Tlie second largest state is Cali fornia. Nebraska is more than twice the size of Indiana. Michigan and Florida are the same size. Texas is four times as large as the New England States. Dakota is largor than England, Scotland and Ireland together. The population of London, Eng land, is equal to that of Canada, or that of Now York State, including its cities. Kentucky and Postugal are about the same size. California is nearly five times as large as Ireland. The Island of Cuba and the State of Tennessee are nearly equal in area. as tho Brazil is nearly as large United States ; hut the population! of the latter is six times that of the former. The population of Canada. New York, Ireland and Belgium are about oven. If the people of Canada and of the United States were placed in the State of Texas, the number of persons to the square mile would he fewer than at present in China. The population of Canada is dou ble that of Australia. Colorado is as large as New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey to gether. It would take ten States as large as Massachusetts, to make a State as large as Kansas. There are more people in the eit* ics of New York and Brooklyn th in in the State of Massachusetts, inclu ding its cities. There are as many people in the city of Chicago as in the State of Connecticut. There arc 27 States and Territor* ! ies each larger than New York. Oregon is equal in area to New York and Pennsylvania. Massachusetts is smaller than New Hampshire or Vermont. Minnesota is twice the size of Ohio. The three States bordering on the Pacific are larger than the thir teen States bordering on the Atlan tic. . : Montana is thirty times larger than Connecticut. Dakota is four times larger than Indiana. Iowa is five rimes as large us Bel gium and four times as large as Denmark. Maryland and Switzerland are about the same size. Michigan is twice the size of Scot land. The area of tho Dominion of Can ada is almost equal to the area of the United States, including Alas ka. How to Go to Sleep. It is now, I believe, writes a cor respondent of the London Spectator, generally accepted that our conscious, daylight thinking processes are car ried on in the sinister half of our brain—i. e., in the lobe which con trols the action of the right arm and leg. Pondering op the use of the dexter half of the brain—possibly in all unconscious cerebration, and whatsoever may be genuineness of the mysteries of planchette and spirit rapping, I came to the conclusion (shared, no doubt, by many other better-qualified inquirers) that we dream with this lobe, and that the fantastic, unmoral, spirit-like charac ter of dreams is, in some way, trace able to that fact. The practical in ference then struck me : To bring back sleep when lost we must quiet the conscious, thinking, sinister side of our brains, and bring into activity only the dream side, the dexter lobe. To do this tlie only' plan I could devise was to compel myself to put aside every waking thought, even soothing and pleasant ones, and every effort of daylight memory, such as counting numbers or the re petition of easy-flowing verses, the latter having been my not wholly unsuccessful practice for many years. Instead of all this I saw I must think of a dream, the more recent the better, and go over and over the scene it presented. Armed with this idea, the next time I found myself awakening at 2 or fl o'clock in the morning, instead of merely trying to banish painful thought and repeat ing as was my habit, that recom mendable soporific "Paradise and the Peri," dream from which I had awakened, and tried to go on with it. a moment I was asleep ! And from that time the experiment, often re peated, has scarcely ever failed. Not seldom the result is as sudden as the fall of a curtain ; and seems like charm. A friend to whom I have confided my little discovery tells that, theorizing about the lobes of the brain, she had hit upon the same plan to produce sleep, and had found it wonderfully efficacious.
