A GAME FOR TWO. W h y Mr. Gibson Browne Didn’t Go - •" to the Farty. ,R. AND MRS. G I B S 0 N- BROWNE, al­ though sincere- : ly fond, of each other, found ere they had boon . m a n y months married, t h a t there were va- ~ry ions . t h i n g s about which they did not agree. Hundreds of - other young married couple* have made the same discovery, and, although it>sur.prised and shocked them, they have beep too wise to allow it to wreck the happiness of their mar­ ried lives. ^ . - Mr. and-Mrs. Browne were thus wise- They wasted no time In undignified and 'unprofitable wrangling over their dif­ ferences ofop.inion, •but neither of them yielded on e-jot or tittle to tho other. They 'simply kept silent oh all topics onwlifynii,they.should disagree.. Ilappliy/also, for them, ’their differ­ ence, of opinion Wor*>in regard to tho minor things of life, and, although it, is the “ littlo foxes that destroy the vines," their little differences did not destroy their worldly happiness, each .of them being blessed with, abundant good naturo in spite of tho firmness of opinion that made them decline to yield ' onbvto tho other. Mrs. Gibson. Browne was a High . Church Episcopalian, while Mr. Gibson" Browne was inclined toiYard Unitarian* ism. hut Mrs/ Browne did not become a Unitarian, nor did Gibson renounce his faith and bocomo an Episcopalian—and yet they wore happy as married folks- U f t . Browne was decidedly opposed to all operas in which there was a bal­ lot; while Mr. prowno was*fond of a ballot puroly because of tho artistic ef­ fect it gavo to operatic scenes; and he • 'went to tho.opera whenever ho felt like, doing so, and did not annoy biS..wlfo by telling her any thing about . And when Mrs. Gibson wished to do .any thing she felt it was. perfectly prop­ er for her to, even though Gibson did . not approve of it, sho simply and quiet­ ly did It, and Gibson was none the wiser. There.were times when Mr. and Mrs. Gibson Browne exemplified tho old ad* jjgeO 'silen co is/goldoh.’’ One morning, "at tho breakfast table, Mr. Browne said: “ My dear, don't forget that tho Van "Horns give their party to-morrow night.” “ 1 remember it,” replied Mrs.Browne, without lifting her eyes from herniate. “ What dress bhall you wear?” “ I am not going,” replied Mrs. Browne, calmly. “ Not going?” Mr. Ilrowno dropped his knife and fork'in surprise. “ No. 1 am n o t” ’ f “ Why not?” “ I have my reasons, Gibson. Rest as- - eured that they are good ones. And I'd rather you-didn’t go either.” . “ But 1 think 1 shall’go, my dear.* '.‘I'd rather you wouldn't.” “ I don’ t see why I shouldn't go.” “ Rot the fact that I don't wish you to’ * enffleo-for "this once.” For the first time in their married lives', Mr. and Mrs, Ilrowno engaged in a healed discussion. Mrs, Ilrowno firm­ ly refused to givo her reason for re­ maining at home, and as firmly insisted on Mr. Ilrowno .remaining with her. There was, in fact, a good deal of firm­ ness on both sides. Mra Browne did not, resort to tears; she nevoi* did; Mr. Browne did not rage and fume and use ungcntlomanly lan­ guage; he never did—hut their voices grow'harder and colder every taomont* and ps tlyfiy rose from tho table, Mrs, Browne »:itd. decidedly;'" “ You shall not go, Mr, Browne,” to which Mr. Browne replied, with equal decision: ‘ •Indeed* I shall go, Mrs. llrOwno.” But he wgnt down town in a more un* comfortable frame of mind than ho had ever experienced As a married man. Never before had bo seen such a look ql firmness, on bis wife’s face, and he knew by this time that Mrs. Br-awne) *ds a v e ry determined woman. But ho was doggedly determined to resist her oppo­ sition. Ho would go to tbe'.party. >• “ 1 guoss sbo’ll hardly bide myitreas f.uit,n'bo said. “ But banged if 1 feel like putting it on ' and Siarcbing oft bo* tore her vory eyes. I’m afraid there’ll bo trouble if Ido. But I shall go all the same If 1—I know what I’ll dpi 7 es, sir, I’ll do it. Wo'll have a big laugh over it aftorward, although it wouldn’t bd much of a laughing matter if Mrs, Browne know I intended doing it, , But I ’ll do it,'sure as guns!" And when Mr. Browno went horns to tea the next- evening there was tucked away in his vest-'pocket a little phial^ containing a colorless liquid ho had just, purchased at the druggist's.. ., .‘ •She often puts a uVop of this in a glass of milk “ or of waiter and takes it 'when she Can’ t sleejp or when she has a toothache,” he 8aid^“ and it novor fai,la 'to send her-right off to sleep.

Markets o f th e W orld , The quaint littlo town of Chester, Mass., nestled arafeng the Berkshire bills, claims the only emery mine in tho Unitod States, It hardly sooms crodi; bio that - bo ven hundred feet within the heart of tho fair green hills men Wore blasting and picking at the oro. which -supplies this Country and otbor^parts of tho -world with emery. The company interested calls itself tho “ Hampden Emory «&; Corundum. Company,” and has invested a largo amount of capital,.; which is yielding tin* Members a .fort­ une. When 'this.in no was opened, fif­ teen years ago, it-Was to. procure Iron,; and the prosen.co of. emery was not sus­ pected. ’ This .venture did - not prove .profitable to tho owners, and as an ex­ periment a specimen, of tho ore was sent ', to Boston to, a mineralogist, who anal­ yzed it and discovered a large proportion of emery. _ They then sold out to the present company, who have taken out iminenso quantitos o f ore and milled it For inirket. The mills are" also situated: >at Chester. The process is interesting, iThe oi'o-is talcon from the mine in pieces about six inches-in diameter. It i1s»thon put into what are 'called crushers, two l.-ijrgo stones- worked by machinery,- which cbmo-together with such force:, that tb.o' oro -Is broken and falls down into a receiver. .Three grades of crush­ ers'are .used, one after-the other, until the ore" is ’reduced' '.to "i-a coarse sand. Then it is" put between" rollers and .powdered as fine as meal.-. Th.o next process is the washing, which is done in a sort of centrifugal iWay wjuch keeps tho mixture of j}6wder_a'nd water in constant’ motion* /1’ho refuse and dirt rises fh tho top, while tho pow- . _der sinks. This process ’ gods on 'for twelve hours. It Is then taken.out h.y shovelfuls "TTko heaps of black .mud.. This substance is put into drying pans, which are arranged oyer steam pines, and thoroughly dried. The next pro­ cess is that of sifting, ancLtho powder is put Into slovos of different sized mesh made of a peculiar and, -qxpensivo sort of silk! . They are made on an incline,- and kept'in constant motion by machin­ ery,. All'along the long room under the siovos are seen tiny streams «f powder dropping into kegs, each stream ot differentqua.lity. T h s brings-it to the last process, that of separating.the iron from the emery. This is accomplished by means of a magnet charged by a dynamo. After the.sifting tho powder is run into, a sort of cylinder and from that it falls through a shaft, and as it falls it is a curio.us sight to watch the even flow of powder, just so far and then seh it divido—tlm emery, flowing on in a straight line, while tho iron siifrotf) off .toward tho-magnet and is received iii a vessel by itself. Nothing is lost, as tho iron is used largely in the manufacture of .paints.—Boston Tran­ script. ______ j* THE CUCKOO'S CRY.

It Itns, Always Itiwti tlio Sutfioct ot Myths aiitt Stmnj;o I.OBe»<ls. , ; But all the While, above the notes of al^the other birds, breaking the half-" silence when the rast are still, sounds w.thout pause the cuckoo's cry. And now the' Bound comes nearer, drift.ng through the green n?Ist of trees far up the valley, though the bird isntill un­ seen. Now ho comes in view, flying fast across the -orchard. Now ho sails overhead, not noticing tho figure in tho iloor-way. As ho floats over to the great elm close by his voico rises to a pbrfeot shout He settles In the elm, and calls and calls in loud, "clear tones, bowing each timo, drooping his wings and tall, and varying now and then his more familiar speech by a muttered scrap from Some outlandish tongue. There is already in his Voice a suspicion of the “ altered tune,” which all too quickly will be followed by tbe silence that so complotcSy removes liljn from tho com* mon ken. There are many places still where It is believed that the cuckoo changcainto a hawk in tho winter. A Cornish myth relates with all gravity that a cuckoo which had retired to the shelter of a hollow log was roused from' Its winter sleep when tho wood was thrown upon the fire and astonished theeompany sitting round tho hearth by the sudden utU ranee of Its cry. Many things are considered to depend on tho’circumatances under which the note of thifj.bird is heard for tho first time. Tho Westphalian peasant, for example, rolls over in the grass, that he may be saved from rheumatism for the remainder of the, year.- To hear it Aral when you" are fasting is considered in many countries as a sign of evil luck. Very widely spread is the'lmlief th'al ii you have silver in your purse pt the auspicious moment you will nov.o,r. want for money all the „year, Strangest of all, perhaps is the idea o f ’one of the* oldest writers upon natural history. “ There is another wonderful thing about the cuckoo,’ ’ says Pliny, *ln' whatever place a man is standing when ho hears it first, if a lino bo drawn round his right foot and the mark thuf mado dog tip, no fleas are born where this is scattered."—London Daily News.

Dcpiirtuiiniit* A correspondent of -the St, Loti is Globe-Democrat, writing from Washing­ ton and detailing the work of the Agri­ cultural Department in sending out seeds, says; All the seeds nro tested before being, sent out, and tho way in which it Is done is very curious indeed. Shallow tin pans half full of water aro employed, and across these, parallel, aro laid thipk wires In pairs. Each two wiros have a strip of muBlin sewn bo- tween tbem, so that, when they are laid together across the pan, a foJd two inches deop.lmngs Into tho water.- In this fold nil along from one,side o f the pan to tho.-other soods aro" put, and the water, rising by capillary attraction, soaks tho muslin and causes the .seeds to germinate. The forming roots poke their way In every direction through tho muslin, and the plants grow famous­ ly. Ono tin pan two feet long will hold a wonderful number of spfoutB, and it is a simple matter to" count and find out wbat percentage of those put in germi­ nate, one fold of muslin being devoted to each kind of seeds.. ‘ Any seeds that I do not "prove entirely satisfactory aro sent to the gardener"of tho department, i to bo tried in earth.
