Madge, in a pretty skating costume of brown velveteen trimmtd with dark fur, was standing by one of tho tall marble vases which stood on either side of the steps. Mayor Stuart, in his heavily furred o'verizon. leaned against the other, looking at her with a smile: in his grave eyes; while closa to Madge. standing on one of the steps and looking up at her with an intent tcnder gaze. was a handsome fair young man, whose face was bronzed and grave, but whose eyes. when they looked at Madge, were very soft and wistful. “ \Voull you illicit, Fred ‘4‘” lady Oli. pliant said softly, as she slapped her hand llmmgli hvr husband‘s arm, and smilingly imiiualL-ii bhfi group. “ i am afraii he will want to take her from us.” “ Which of the two, Maggi-9 Mr, lions ?"

Upon my word, Maggie, I cunnot think of it with any calmness 1” Sir Frederic continued, with great warmth. “ A man so brave and noble and true, with such reputation as Guy Smart always had to bo thought guilty of ii crime of which the judge and jury acquitted him! it was strange, was it not," he added more calmly, “ that it should all have taken place during our only absence abroad?

" I was going to escort Guy and Mr. Ross up to the school, and introduce them to Mrs. Grant; but they say they would rather see her in her official capacity than in private life, so, as today is a holi- day, we must defer the visit." “You, certainly," said Lady Oli hunt hastily. ” Why not drive to Lee ark?

W flow to Keep Your Cellar A rent mistake is sometimes made in venti sting celfars and milk houses. The , object of ventilation is to keep the cellars l cool and dry, but this object often fails of being accomplished by a common mistake, and instead the collar is made both warm and dam . A cool place should never be ventilat , unless the air admitted is cooler than the air within, or is at least as cool as that or a very little warmer. The warmer the air the more moisture it holds in car pension. Necessarily, the cooler the air the more the moisture is condensed and re- cipitated. When a cool collar is air on a worm day, the entering air being in motion ap rs cool; but as it fills the cellar the cooler air with which it becomes mixed chills it, the moisture is condensed, and dew is deposited on the cool walls. and may often be seen running down them in streams. Then the collar in damp and soon becomte monldy. To avoid this the windows dionld only be opened at night, and lateâ€"tbs last thing before re~ tiring. There is no need to fear that the night air is unhealthy-it is as pure as the air at midday and is really drier. The cool air enters the apartment during the night, and circulates through it.

Tokio is not behind other cities in a rage for riding schools, and in addition to the number of army omccrs and man who learned the foreign style abroad, every offi- cial or welLtc-do citizen now aspires to lea. sons in equestrianism. There is a flourish- ing riding school near Shiba Park, and a number of Japanesc ladies belong to the classes. They wear the foreign riding dress. and look well in the Amaoonian habit, although a French tailor would groan at the outlines of their figures, that are largest at the waist, have no hips and the most slo ing shoulders. The six Amazons who the Uysno race course the other afternoon mounted in the paddock, and the mounting was unique ; Naive, or grooms, claspcd their hands together like u cradle, the Amazons stepped on with both foot, and the beam slowly raised them straight up in the air until they rcached the level of the saddle.

This fence does not coal over six cents a rod, and is very effective. Cabbage and cauliflower want a rich soil. The first crop may be planted after winter frosts are our; a second for early fall or late summer use, a month later, and the into winter cabbage in July and August.

N. Y. A MILLION ON A LIFE. John \Viannmnkar Carries the Risks In this! World. The greatest achievement in the history of life insurance has been made by Mr. John Wanamaker, who is now paying prsmiums on 81,000,000 to twenty~nina different companies. The last policy issued on his life was received by him on Thurs- day last. and so far as is known there is no otlnr man in the world whose life is insured for such an enormous amount. There are a number of men in this city who have been trying for yours to achieve tho point just gained by Mr. Wanamaker. but they have so far failed, although John I! Stetson, the hat manufacturer, has sno- cscded in getting lid 3 on his life amounting to 0 50,380. fab is deisirous of putting the amount up to a round million. 'I‘hc risks on Mr. Wanamaker‘s life are divided equally into life and fifteen-year endow- ments and he pays over $00,000 annually in premiums to the different companies in which his risks are placed. In the matter of paying premiums ho is outdone by Mr. Stetson, who pays 385,000 in the same cngth of time, but the difference is ac- counted for by the fact that besides paying the premiums on the risks on his own life he also pays those on the liv of his busi- ness manager and his sou-i. .law. both of whom he has insured for $100,000 each, besides holding policies for large amounts on othsr people’s lives. Should Mr.Wana- maker allow the annual dividends to go uncollected until the rill! on his life ex ire ho will be entitled to about H.400, . Highest There are thrac companies which carry l premiums of 3100.000 each on his life. But Mr. Wanamaker is not the only man in this city upon whose life big risks are issued. George W. Childs is insured for 0100.000, and so is Wharton Barker. Ham. ilton Diaston is insured for about $150,000. J. (l. Ilarlingtou is insured for Ono-tenth of a million. and his partner. William M. Hunt, for twice that amount.--Philadrlpliia Record. " That's What .1 Wife Bays." " How are all the folks '2" asked Brown of Jones. " All well, cxoc t my wife." said Jones. " I'm worried a at her.
