French dressing One saltspoon salt, spoon pepper, 3 tablespoons oil, 4 teaspoon onion juice, tablespoon of vinegar; mix in order given, adding oil slowly. This dressing is suitable for vegetable and egg salads, and is also used to marinate or pickle, a meat or fish salad; the onion juice may be omitted, and lemon juice may be used instead of vinegar. A teaspoon-f ul of made mustard added to a French dressing is liked by many.

Mayonnaise dressing One teaspoon of mustard, 1 teaspoon of powdered sugar, V-i teaspoon of salt, teaspoon of cayenne pepper, yolks of 2 raw eggs, 1 pint of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of vinegar. 2 tablespoons of lemon juice; mix the first four ingredients in a small bowl, add the eggs, stir well with a small wooden spoon, add the oil, a few drops at a time, stirring until it thickens. If by chance you add too much oil, do not attempt to stir it all In at once, but take it up gradually when the dressing is thick, thin it with a little lemon, then add oil and lemon alternately, and lastly the vinegar; when ready to serve add cup of whipped cream, if you like. The cream makes it white and thinner. The oil should thicken the egg almost immediately, and the mixture should be thick enough to be taken up in a ball on the spoon before adding the vinegar.

Should the egg not thicken quickly, and have a curdled appearance, half a teaspoon of the unbeaten white of egg or a few drops of vinegar will often restore tihe smooth consistency. Be very careful not to use too much, as it will make the dressing thin. The dressing liquifies as soon as mixed with vegetables or meat, therefore it should be made stiff enough to keep in shape until used. Never mix the dressing with the meat or fish until ready to serve, and then only part of it, and spread the remainder over top. Salmon salad Prepare in same way as lobster salad with cooked or canned salmon, freed from bones, skin and oil.

Salad sandwiches Mix a small quantity of mayonnaise dressing with finely chopped lobster or chicken, cover a small slica of bread with lettuce, then the salad, lettuce, and bread again; wrap them in tin foil or oiled paper, and serve at picnics or when traveling.

The reason he gives for these chansred conditions is that in old-times everv blacksmith made his own horse shoes and all his nails and bolts, while they arte now made bv ma chinery, and sold at a price less than the Iron can be purchased in small quantities.

He has no Patience with the modem Idea that it is hard or imrossible for laboring men to prosper and rise, any more than it used to be. He says that In old times the man who got rich on his Income of SI a dav did It on th. only possible plan of spending less than he received, and in order to do this deprived himself and his family of every luxury and of manv things that would now be considered the necessaries of life, while today the average muurmg man. receiving very much pay, and being able to buy every- thing but his potatoes and a few other articles at very much lower prices than prevailed in old times, can live better and save more amount with proper care man ine people aia years ago. He says that he himself mleht been a rich man if he had been contented to have no carpets on his and had been willing to deprive himself ana nis ramuy or Dutter and sugar and white bread, as some of his acquaintances did.

Holiday edition with 33 por-raits. McCIure's Magazine begins the new year brilliantly to draw many new readers within its fold. Its leading feature is the biography of Napoleon, which has the exclusive distinction of being illustrated from paintings and prints that have not been reproduced before. It describes Napoleon as a statesman, and gives 23 rare portraits. Connected with it.

and of strong related interest, a mounted icrenadier of Napoleon's guard describes very vividly "The Battle of Marengo." It is profusely illustrated with battle scenes and maps. They are introduced with the frontispiece, "Emperor Na- goleon, 1813," which is engraved by teuben. An original feature is brought out under the title. "The Dramatic Season," contributed by Edward Marshall. The paper tells of new plays and operas, and new actors and singers of the year 1895.

Valuable literary information Is revealed in Beatrice Harraden's explanation, "Concerning Ships that Pass in the Night." E. J. Edwards review of the work of Dr Charles H. Parkhurst in municipal reform, has surpassing interest, and is written influentially of reform. Portraits.

There is related interest also In what Is said of "Thomas Nast's Share In Overthrowing the Tweed Ring in 1872." Portraits.

His hearer's fair white hands so to her breast, as if she would still the quick heart responsive to such unqualified faith, such utter disregard of appalling circumstances, for he speaks no word of service rendered, or of having aimed at a requital. She draws a little nearer to him, regarding him with a stranjre look in her fathomless blue eyes, and psks more gently: "Did you not realize the perilous grot nd on which you trod? "What matters since I was conscious of perfect happiness in the bare thought of serving you." "And seeing me before you now, and knowing what Is. and has been, have you no question?" He understands her. She wonders If his faith is so broad that even now he can Ignore those terrible suspicions to which the circumstances justly might give rise. For the first time a smile preaKs tne gravity of Ensign's manly face, and ho slowly shakes his head.

"1 should be false to my own discernment, unworthy of the faith to which it has given bfrth, if I could stoop to see the need of a question," he answers, simply. Her eyes are moist now, and her lip trembles. She obeys an impulse, and approaching him again gives him her hand. "And after having heard you and learned what you have done," she says softly, with a strange mingling of gratitude and compassion Sn her lifted eyes. "i snoula be false to sucn woman nooa as that in which you cherish so great a faith if 1 couid refuse you.

"I have not the heart to estrange you from me: yet a train I tell you It were for your own good, and It were better far if had never met. "That were never to have lived!" She smiles mournfully at his fervor, at these words which too plainly reveal the depth of his passion, and again drawing away from him. she glances half anxlouslv toward the door.

"Remember, then, in time to come, the warning I have given you, sne says, gravely; "and if suffering comes of this friendship, that I vainly strove to turn you from It and from me." "I shall remember only your goodness," answers Ensign, deeply: "that I came here like one accursed, that I go forth blessed by your friendship, let It bring what it may.

Three steely wreaths of smoke from three cigars floated toward the park; the night was calm, with scarce a breath of air to' set the treetops nodding. No one thought to jar upon the still ness or the scene by uttering his thoughts aloud. Besides there was no need of speech; they were friends, and. being friends, smoked on In Ing by their presence the unfolding of each other's dreams. But the spell was broken at last.

The warm coloring of Lewis Forbes' dream bad vanished into a grayness of vacancy. He rose, and by his motion disturbed his guests. The three men rose and shook them selves free of the last remains of what they had just tried to conjure up again v. before them. The heat from the fire began to make them more sociable, thev talkf-d on all sort3 of topics, their conversation taklnir a wide ran-e from 1 ho book convej ancTngT To the fatest opera.

At last the talk came in nearer circles and assumed a more pers-onal interest. "I suppose you are both going to the Ransome dance next week?" suggested Lewis Forbes, the host. "Perhaps; I don't quite know yet," replied his friend Spencer, in a tone of the least possible concern. daresay I shall go," drawled Carew. Who could have conected these almost careless replies with Agnes Ran-some's bewitching eyes and cherry lips whose unsubstantial image they had been kissing In their counterfeit of passion? 1-Jach slowly took from his pocket a delicately tinted envelope, from which he drew a letter.

A glance sufficed to show that the contents of all three were the same. The truth flashed upon them, lighting up for them the ludicrous side cf th matter. To do them credit, they tried to be angry; but, despite themselves, they burst into a roar of laughter. when they had hmshed they consoled tnemseive accepting es by calling the lady a flirt ig their infatuation as a fact too real to be displaced by reason Forbes was the tirst to suggest that they should ter in all its bearings. discuss the matter ('What i3 the cood of thnt'" nairoi Carew.

"To arive at some understanding," was the reply. "Well, but after all," Insisted his friend, "the best man will win." "yes or the first," was the rejoinder. They sat for a long time propounding solutions of the difficulty. All kinds of II. Agnes Ransome, like a bee among the heather, hovering over the purple bells, uncertain from which to cull the honey, was in her boudoir turning over with dainty lingers the books and pretty things.

She left the mirror and lay on the couch before the lire, too indolent almost to think. She had not lain long before a gentleman as announced; and It was evident by her eager and loving welcome that they were more than friends. This was his first visit after his acceptance and as yet he was still only a. friend of the family. They were still talking now about themselves when the maid brought her mistress a letter.

Sho read it and very demurely hand- eil it to ner lover, but before he had half got through it she broke into a peal of laughter. "What answer shall I give, dear?" asked Agnes. "Well. I think you had better tell the truth." he replied. "Tell the truth?" she asked, repeating his words.

"Yes, that you haven't any preference." "Oh, but suppose I have?" she rejoined, archly. A kiss was her only reply. This was the letter which caused her such amusement: Ienr Miss We. the undorslcnetl, have the lionor to make you a Homewlmt uri-ous request. Kuril of to the honor of your liiirnj.

They discussed the wording of the reply, and decided to couch it in such a form that no mention should be made of the engagement, while no direct acceptance of the proposal contained in this note should be given. Agnes suggested that Jack should call on Forbes that same evening, shrewdly guessing that the friends would meet at his lodgings In eager expectation of the reply. in. It had seemed as though the clock would never strike 4. Would the court never rise, that poor juniors might doff their wig and stuff gown and hasten away westward? But Lewis Forbes got home at last, eager for a letter that he hoped to find.

But when he found It he did not open it, but. with his mind in a ferment, waited for dinner and the arrival of his friends who were to dine with him. They arrived together, and both inquired: "Where is it?" They arranged themselves round the table, in the middle of which lay the precious envelope. "Open It," suggested Carew. Spencer nodded approval.

Gentlemen I thank you most sincerely for the honor you proinwe to confer upon me. I murh regret that I cannot help you out of your dlfliculry by personal preference. Would not mirh a case be better left to pure chance? A park of cards mUht work out a solution. Thanking you once mora most sincerely, and awaiting the result with some anxiety, I remain, Yours, very truly. Agnes Ransome.

He finished, and set a pack of cards on the table without speaking a word. They shuffled them still in silence. Forbes was the first to break It. "You see, cutting for the highest or lowest card is one of the crudest of methods; let us play vingt-et-un, the first to turn up a natural to be the lucky man." They agreed, and the deal fell to Forbes. Play began and went on round after round, but still no "natural" turned up.

Every other combination in the pack was dealt except a "natural." A visitor was announced to relieve the monotony. He proved to be Mill-man, who. true to his proposal of the morning, had called and found things as he had anticipated. "We won't keep you a moment," urged Forbes. "We are only waiting for a natural." IV.

Another round was being dealt; each had one card. Millman looking on saw the light in Spencer's eyes; glancing at Carew he was surprised to see hiif mouth twitching nervously. Both evidently had a good card. Forbes dealt each a second. "Natural came from both simultaneously, as they started up from the table.

Forbes looked at his own cards, rather from curiosity than anything else. "Natural!" he shouted, his face aglow with excitement. "But," insisted Spencer, "you forget: the agreement was that the winner snouia De tne man wno turned up a natural first." "Yes," objected Forbes, "but surely we must keep the rule of the game.

Appeal to Millman," suggested Carew, mself uncertain whether to advance his own claim or not.

Forbes undertook the task, and after putting him in possession of the ieading facts, concluded bv saving: "Now. who do you 'think Is entitled to propose to Miss Ilanaome?" Jack appeared for a moment to be deep in thought. At last he said, very slowly: "There is one wav out of th fliffl. culty "Yes?" "I will save you the trouble. I win marry Miss Ransome myself." out.

"Pardon me!" he says hoarsely, yet In a voice thrilled by emotion. "My cry alarmed you. Ah, if you could only know how I have prayed for this meeting!" She draws quickly away, instinctively fearing the passion sounding in his voice, the design which may have impelled his boldness.

"How dare you enter here without-then the rebuke trembling on her hps is turned to a murmur of surprise: "Heaven! is it you?" Her gaze has met his uplifted eyes, the eves which so wildly had sought hers from the window of a passing train: and in his pale, chilled features, grown almost unnatural in the past three months, she beholds not a wanton intruder upon her sacred, seclusion, but the man on whom her compassion had been bestowed, and by whose she had knelt, when lie lay stricken as if by death in the gloomy entry of the grim Arcade. "Your words tell me I am so blest as to have been remembered," answers Ensign, deeply. "As I never have "How came you here?" "Nay. do not ask me yet. That I am here, that the longing of weeks Is ended, that I may possibly be permitted to speak what' my heart so long has cherished, blinds me to sufferings which have proved my fortune.

Do not turn me from you not yet! I owe you my life! Let that alone crumble the barrier which might make us strangers. Let the life service with which I would re-pav plead pardon for my boldness. Do not turn me from you not yet!" There Is in his manliness a simple grandeur which touches her. It tells her better than his words have told what passions have moved him since first thev met, of what these passions are capable, nnd a little shadow of pain rises over the paleness of her beautiful face. "I should be unworthy such words could I refuse you." she ansvers, half sadly.

"As It is, I am unworthy such sentiments." Then she gives him her hand, frankly, yet modestly, and notes that his which closes around it is as cold as ice. "And I should be less a man than I would have you think me could I entertain lesser feelings. Speak not of worthiness! I ask only that I may remain near you that I may be regarded, if not as a friend, at least as a debtor eager to repay." How his words, his voice, his very eves betray him! He scarce realizes what he says, that such utterances as these reveal the hopes on which he so long has dwelt, and he speaks as if blind to the fact that he now addresses her for the first time in his life, that she knows nothing of him as he knows nothing of her save that her loveliness fills all his heart and soul and being with a sense of some consuming rapture hitherto unknown. That expression of pain passes again across her face, and she answers gravely: "There Is no debt between us, sir." "A life that is all," says Ensign simply- "I would you might forget that service. The Interference was but natural." "To forget the service, the life Itself must nave been lost.

As it was sparea by your hand, so now is it at your command. Pardon me, I cannot speak less feelingly. If you will not recognize in me a debtor, may not my friendship at least be deemed worthy?" His intensity of longing sends a wave of color to her His heart is an open page, and he reveals a s'mple manliness which it were an outrage to wrong, and an unaffected frankness and chivalry which none human could ignore. Looking him in the eyes, she answers gently, almost in pity: "Your thanks are sufficient to repay any service I may have rendered. As a debtor, then, I cannot consider you." "And as a friend?" She draws her hand from his, and hesitates, avoiding his pleading eyes: and David Ensign, exalting her above herself, misinterpreting her silence, too Sroud to be a suitor on the ground of is own worthiness, withdraws a step and bows to her will.

"Pardon you do not know me!" he says huskllv. "I will bid you adieu." And he turns toward the open door and the darkenss of the night outside. The woman were less than woman, who, having seen and. heard him, and feeling her motive to be perhaps eternally wronged, could let him go as he was going then. With a flood of color surging to her cheeks and augmenting that beauty which has blinded and enslaved him, she cries quickly, in tones which thrill him through and through and bring him again before her: "Stay! I cannot let you go like this.

You misjudge me. It is not that I doubt the worthiness of your friendship, question its value. Believe me, I feel how true and valued a friend you might be. Would you have me be less true than yourself to such a sentiment?" "You!" "Frienda aim to promote the welfare of one another. Believe me, sir, I feel that the greatest kindness I can do you is to insist that we continue strangers." "Is it because you should not accept such friendship as I would offer?" "No; I am free to accept the offerings of any," she replies, with a touch of pride and a silent curl of her perfect lip.

"It is not that." "What then," cries Ensign, in a low tone of pleading, while a great relief swells his heart, and renewed hope sets him trembling in every fiber "Why, then? If you are free, there can be no barrier to such friendship as I would humbly offer." She grows pale again under his per plea, a plea almost piteous in ttts i-Q'irt'irnr 'i nl an'otnlnw Ku Hint cha its yearning, and sweeping by him she closes the door by which he has entered. "Do you forget, she cries feelingly witn a new ngni snimng in ner eyes when she turns upon him; "do you for- met I remember only that they brousrht me to you!" "Peace I peace! you speak like one blinded, and by idle and unworthy idolatry. I would spare you that greater pain which only can come of the friendship you crave." "The loss of it will be my greatest pain!" "Alas! alas! why will you not reason? There are dangers "God grant it that I may overcome or share them with you, and so prove the depth of my fidelity." "Nay, nay, you do not, cannot know what you say! You do not realize the time, the place, the terrible scene, which resulted in our meeting. I would spare you sufferings which only can result from a continued acquaintance. More even than danger, I would spare you possible dishonor, the shame of remote relations with me.

The law "Is blind "Less blind than you, I fear! Even now it aims "To do you an injustice," again interposes Ensign, drawing himself to his full hight. "I understand you perfectly, and the warning I would have you seems needless. Already I have humbly tried to stand between you and injustice." "You!" "Merely by assuming ignorance under questioning, lest my testimony Pale to the lips, understanding far too well his meaning, she interrupts him.

HAKD TIMES UM 1337. Tyler Thayer of Norwood Telia of Tiaa When Flour Was $18 a Barrel NORWOOD, Jan 4-Tyler Thayer one of Norwood's wealthy men.Hefe retired builder, who began the world without a dollar, and who has fought his own battle all the way through. He says that when he was 16 yean old he was apprenticed to a carpenter in his native town of Medfleld for firo years on the condition that at the end of that period he was to' have (10) fit cash and his tools. Soon after entering upon this apprenticeship he loaned his employer $31, which he had saved as a boy. ast at the end pf his apprenticeship his employer failed, and Mr Thayer lost Bl loan, his $100 and the tools, so that ata years of age he didn't have a siaf cent.

He went to work as a Journeyman's "five shillings" a day and his board. At this time he set out to save $1000 in fit years. He out aside everything that was paid to him for his day's work and worked evenings for the money he needed to spend and at the end of five year he had $1500 instead of $1000. He has a vivid recollection of the dull times which followed the financial pasie of 1837. He says that there have never been any such hard times since.

There was no money, no employment, and, among other things, flour was til a barrel. The laboring people could not buy woolen cloth for their clothes and that the mills turned out a cotton imitation for pantaloons, which was knows as "hard times." He believes that it is very mud easier for a man who wants to get rich and rise out of the ranks of labor thai it ever was before. TWO UNION VETEEAHa Secretary and Chief of Transportation of Atlanta's Show.

He was the first officer of this kind in Georgia, and he had toj counter the prejudice then existing against free schools.

From that aw this the system has been growing, however, and today the school fund M' reached $1,250,000. 4 During Gen Harrison's administration Gen Lewis was made postmaster ot A lanta, a position which he filled to tnr satisfaction of all.
