Mahala looked uneasy and restless, and once, made an involuntary movement ns thouffh to go out. She checked herself and brought out her work basket. "I'm lice in' a Ilisin' Sun quilt for KOSP," she said, quietly. "She's goin' to he married this fall." "Xow thifi'll be real cozy," exclaimed Mrs. Simpson.

Such delicacies as cake and jolly and elderberry wine were as far removed from her in days as Victoria's crown jewels, but she would not let her manner or her profuse thanks-put- tier to shame before, her visitors, she thought. They should not know but it was a common thing for her to have such luxuries in the least jvhen she wanted them. She told them phe didn't have any appetite, and didn't feel like they wouldn't think It strange that she hadn't any rnke baked.

"Well, I'm beatl Poor thing, poor thing!" And so the village curiosity was iefied to some extent, although many of the good folk still wondered whether Mahala wasn't crazy and they- Ftill looked at her curiously from behind blinds and curtains whenever she nppeared in the drenching' showers. It waa noticed, hoivever, that she did not as of yore, go out every time there was a storm; moreover, that she always wore her bonnet; and, instead of gazing upward, walked along as other people did. But a new aod peculiar phase soon developed itself which more than counterbalanced this return to the ordinary and accepted. Several, driving along the country road, had seen her with her sun bonnet thrown back, violently shaking- the trees and bushes, looking up the while fixedly as she went from clump to rlump, apparently tireless. People began to warn their children to keep away from her, and said to each other that something must bo done.

One day, JJie word went round that Mahala was sick. Theministerhad gone there to call, and had found her hardly nble to crawl to the door. The people flocked in. They sent for her half sister, Hose, who was a trained nurse in New Haven, and to an adjoining town for a doctor. lie shook his liead gravely, and said that exposure in her weakened condition had done tho- work, and that it was a chance if she ever got any better As she lay on the bed, pale and weak, she called again and again for 1 lie looking glass.

When it was given her, she ou.lv groaned and urned her face to the vail. "Another phase of the insanity, the doctor says," people repeated toouean- t'ther; but one who was there wont Lome, and, going to the garret, hunted up an old mirror that ihod belonged to her grandfather. lie had been a sailor nnd had brought it home from some foreign port. It had the propert3 of nmk- almost anyone look fair and well favored, if not positively handsome. At first, the family had exhibited it to everyone who came in, but, in.

the course of years, it had been laid away nnd almost forgot ten. Now it was brought forth and laid by Mahala's bed. It was the next nflcrnoon that Rose came. sister, sister!" cried Mahala, throwing her arms about her. "I want to tell you eveiything.

I haven't had no one I could one!" And then, after liosc had taken her things seated herself on the bed by her side, told her how lieuben Davis had said to her, when he went away ten years before: "Wait for me, Mahala, I'll be back one of these days, and we'll get married! Where else couJd I find, such a good such a complexion!" he had added, laughingly. She had been so happy, she murmured, flushing, and had cared then for her looks because he had. But as the years went on, and especially after her mother's long illness and death, she getting old and wrinkled and yellow. It was then she hud read a recipe Tor changing all this.

And then when it didn't rain hard," went on after a pause, "I shook the branches. It waa just like rain. But it wa'n't no use it wa'n't no use!" she moaned.

"And now lleuben's com back in aliltle while his aunt told me so, and Tin so old ajid ijgly ho won't want me!" She buried her face in the pillow. Presently she reached out a thin hand to the litUe table that always stood by her ben. She picked up the mirror, not noticing was a strange one, and gazed In it. She started up excitedly. "It's true! it's true!" rhe cried, her poor wan features lighting up.

"I wus afraid it wouldn't be ever! But it said it would take time. Oh, Kose, I'm so glad I kept, it! Do you s'pose," she whispered, tremulously, "he'll think I'm much changed?" The next day an unusual ripple oi excitement rcivadcd the little Mahala was dead, and it was reported that her last words were about Iteubcn Davis. Mrs. Brown had heard whatshe said, and the minister's wife, too. They had run over that morning to fr how she was getting along.

It was just as BOKO was supporting her iu the death struggle. "Toll him," she had murmured, painfully, in great gasf.s, "toll him that I never forgot never!

A story told by Andrew D. While, ex-minister to Germany and Russia, illustrates this fact. Mr. White stated that once when he was at Berlin, after aJI the diplomatic corps had been duly presented to his wile, the Chinese minister, in pursuance to custom, brought round principal secretaries and presented. them to his colleagues.

Among thesi- vas a tall, fine-looking man, evidently a Kuropean, dressed in a superb court costume and covered with gold lace. As his Chinese colleague introduced him to Mr. White in German, the con- was continued in that language, when suddenly this splendidly dressed personage said in English; I do not see why we should be talking in. German, I come from. Waterloo, in western New York, and I was educated at Rochester university' under our frined, Dr.

Anderson." Mr. said that had the gentlemau dropped through the ceiling it would not have seemed more surprising, and that it was hard to believe that pretty little village of Waterloo, or even Rochester, with all the added power of this noble university, should have been able to develop a creature so gorgeous. It turned out that the gentleman concerned, after graduating at the University of Rochester, had gone to China with certain missionaries, had then been taken into Chinese service and had proved to be a. thoroughly intelligent, patriotic man, faithful to his duties to China, as well as to the United (N. Times.

STARTING AN ORCHARD. flic Work of Preparation and the Proper Planting of Trees. The ground for an orchard should be well and deeply cultivated, and free from weeds, well drained, if the soil requires it, and most soils are better for draining except sandy or light gravelly soils with a liirht subsoil. Such land may not require draining, but in every case it should be well worked and pulverized. and enriched before planting.

The work 01 preparation must be done during the summer, so its to be ready for fall or spring planting. in tho spring is preferred, which will enable the trees to take firm hold of the earth and to resist the frost of next winter, but planting 1 iriuy be done successfully in the autumn by protecting tha trees so as to prevent the frost from heaving or misplacing them.

from Abraham Lincoln. George Kluetsch, oditor of the Lincoln CNcb.) Freie Pressc, has in his possession in the handwriting of Abraham Lincoln, written in 1850, an interesting: letter. It was written to T. J. Picltett, at ono time editor of the republican paper in Rock Island, 111., who has given it 1o Mr.

Kluetsch. It reads ns follows: "Springfield, 111., April Dear Sir: Yours of the 13th i.s just received.

Bell, Another Letter from Horst, Traveling in Florida. WHEEE THE PBTJIT IS ABUNDANT. Bat It Is Near tne Border of Flali and Deer Also Large Tampa Bay Hotel of Interest Described. Harry B. Horet writes ns a second letter from Florida, this time from Eraden- town, under date of the 20th inst, a5 follower We left Kissimmee on the 3Sth and came to Tampa.

The country we traveled through is nqjed mostly for its hogs which are raised more for speed than fat. The natives say if they would raise cur breed of fat bogs tfie negroes would catch and kill them. The cattle also have pood traveling they are compelled to go from 50 to GO miles a day to find food enough to sustain themselves. The average price is per head and hogs sell at $8 per hundred pounds dressed. The country is thinly settled and few orange groves are found." These were all killed by the frost, so that they do not bear this year, but are expected to blossom by next year.

On Sunday we took a view of Cuba town on the outskirts of Tamps. It did not look like Sunday, for nearly every place of business was open. The principal business is cigar makintr, at which thousands of men are employed, who speak a broken Spanish. We also inspected the Tampa Bay hotel, said to be the largest hotel in the world. We spent half a day in the yard, which covers many acres and in which are planted numerous trees, such as orange, banana and other trees and plants that grow in this climate.

The cars pass tnrongh the yard and stop within 20 feet of the hotel door for the convenience of guests. A special train of editors from Ohio, Xe- braska and several other states was there on Sunday. The bay in front of the hotel is crowded with wild ducks, but they are tame as no one is allowed io disturb them. Taking everything into consideration Tampa is the liveliest place we have met, but still we were not satisfied. We wanted to see oranges on trees and so we decided to take the Manatee boat which runs about 45 miles down the bay and up the Manatee river.

Here we found trees loaded with fruit. We have just returned from a walk through about a dozen different groves and saw and cot all the oranges we. wanted. Coming down the bay we saw hundreds of ducks and some pelicans. On the north side of the river there is nothing but palmetto trees, while on the'south side pine and cypress grow.

We are near the end of civilization. There are a few small settlements about 15 miles up the river. JSeyon'd that there are scarcely any. Deer "is plenty here and venison is served on the table" This is a great fishing place and a person is able to catch as many fish as he has a mind to, but there is no market for them. Across the river there are large truck farms, from which they are shipping tomatoes, cabbage, radishes and onions.

Strawberries will scon be ripe. CERTIFICATES FILED.

HO DEMABD FOR FINISHED GOODS Prices of Iron Advanced Owloeto the Richer Prices For Coke and laton Fat Up the Price of Wheat- Money a Easier. NEW YORK, Jan. 6. Dun weekly review of trade says: The week has been marked by Improvement apparent rather than real. Prices of some products have risen, but only because supplies are believed to be smaller than was expected.

Prices of pig Iron and billets have risen, bnt because coko and ore have been mode dearer, and not because of any better demand for finished products. Money iins been easier, but only because more has been borrowed fmm Europo at a time when the actual balance of trade tnkcs money hence to Europo. Tho senate still injures all business by doing nothing, and the treasury cannot expect to gain In yet, but. loses less than was expected. It is generally assumed that the new loan will bo placed without difficulty, thongh tho successive payments may cause continued disturbance.

Business at tho mills does not revive, nor is it to bo expected while congress does nothing, and payments through clearing houses for tho week are 6.5 percent larger than last year, bnt 39.3 per cent less than in 1893, being loss satisfactory than for a long time. A deluge of foreign reports favorable to wheat speculation found ready answers in an advanco of over 5 cents here, In spite of western receipts 50 por cent larger than last year. Corn advanced because wheat advanced, receipts and exports continuing as before. Cotton rose an eighth, although Mr. Ellison estimated the yield at 7,000,000 bales, and receipts to dato support that estimate, but there are many who reason that the surplus will be dangerously small at the end of the crop year, even if the yield is 7,000,000 bales.

Cotton manufacturers have for months beun storing up staple goods, but prices have gradually declined over since Oct. 17, and now average 6.4 per cent lower than at that point, when tho riso from the lowest average of quotations, in SInrch, 1895, had lieen 22.9 per cent. In Europe, as here, mills are running largely against expectations. Woolen goods also tend lower, with small demand, and are practically at the prices of a year ago, though wool is higher. Iron and Tho iron and steel business finds encouragement in the advance of besso- mer pig to $13 at Pittsburir and gray forgo to $11.25, but these aro results of the advance ordered by combinations in coko and ore.

Anthracite is not dearer at tho east, anil southern pig is for sale. Finished products are not stronger, whilo pig iron has advanced 10.9 cent since Jan. 1. Prices of finished products aver- ago 1.7 por cent lower than nt that time. Tlie demand is plainly too small fur the supply, nud tho works in operation are killing profits for each other by underbidding.

In such a case lower prices for pig, ore and coko would seem inevitnbie, but lost year tho raw materials hoisted everything else, and some expect tho operation to bo repeated. Tho money markets are a sliade easier, by no means healthy. Thrre is a constant fear that preparations to pay for Donds will cause trouble, and bankers are protecting themselves as best them can, nioro because the magnitude of recent 'allures loads to a belief that maturities within a short time to come may result disappointingly. Exports for tho week lave been large, while imports aro rela- larger. For three weeks the merchandise exports and imports have been scarcely 1 per cent larger than last But this and other oflicial statements make no account of tlie undervaluations of imports, and the rate of exchange and tho xmtinuins exports of gold, amounting to $2,600,000 this week in spite imports amounting to $150,000 for bond purchases, show that the ordinary trade balances ore decidedly adverse.

Tho failures for tho week havo been 37:1 tho United States, against 303 last 'ear, and (U in Canada, against 51) lost Dissolved Partnership. E. G. Swartz and William S. AVallo- wer, tobacco dealers, on North Eighth street, have dissolved partnership, ng sold their store to J.
