Are you tired, Fanny? the latter asked. And dit you meet with much success Fannys succeis depended upon dis posing of gaudy f neywork made by her own nimble fingers, which, to judge from her wok, numbered more than the allotted supply of thumbs. Fanny sighed. Mrs. Hyssop knew well what- this meant ' It is hard, I know, 6he sympathized. to get along in this world. Especially when one is alone, she ended, casting a side glance at the perturbed Fanny. Mrs. Hyssop hoped this would tow Fanny Into the matrimonial channel. And a prologue in this direction did sprout, for the girl sighed again, and said: - 1 would Jose altogether if It hope Proof of Filial Affection.

A cyclone seemed to strike Fanny and her faneywork. for both went to pieces Fanny on her chair, and the faneywork on the floor at her feet Oh, Mrs. Hyssop!" she gasped. "I know what I am talking about, in the landlady went on. Fanny, this case no one than myself could give such intelligent advice. Mrs. Hyssop talked on. It was a way she had. She went into details, explained at almost marvelous length. And poor Fanny listened. Finally the landlady halted. Fanny rose from her chair and gathered up her faneywork. Well, what are you going to do about It? Mrs. Hyssop asked. I'm going to do my boat to win Mr. Barnston. "I hope you are not angry with me? Mrs. Hyssop asked. Oh, no, not in the least," was tb reply. "I thank you very much for your advice." Two days later Mrs. Hyssop was again sitting upon the front cranda. A frail creature In white, with a last inker year's sailor on and a nuisie-rollap, sat beside her. Doth were gazing absently across the street.

But said in a stage whisper: of all these notions the most InterestFor Mr. Barnston. Ah! breathed Mrs. Hyssop, very ing and probably the most popular in England is that known by the name of the potato cure, as the London Globe says. It Is said- that If a person suffering from rheumatism will carrjLa potato about with him he will find himself free from pain and distress. It Is asserted that a potato carried in the pocket of a rheumatic person will speedily become as hard as a rock, while in the keeping of a person free from the complaint it remains in Its ordinary condition. Therefore it would appear as if the explanation of faith" in this case do)?s not apply as it would perhaps in the matter of charms.. o far as we know, science has no pronounced judgment on the pofatdcufe, but It would certainly be interesting to obtain a scientific explanation pf the hardening of the In the shape of bee stings. The scientific explanation is that a bee when stinging injects formic acid which Is a cure for rheumatism. What probably happens Is that the pafient, after having sat for some time on the beehive, forgets all about the rheumatism. It is probably the long continuance of damp weather which has inspired so many newspaper correspondents to give the world just now their notions on cures for rheumatism. We referred briefly the other day to the American revival of cure by bee stings a measure berofc enough to please every Simon Stylltes in the world; and --now we are' told in the press of a cure by means of a mole's foot worn next to the sklnrsus pend ed f romth e neck by .a silken cord so that it hangs a little below the- chest.

No one ..nows .that better than I do. When my dear husband died he left me almost destitute. But I thought at once of starting a boarding house, and the first thing 1 knew c Mr. Darnston The frail- - creature 'suddenly raised her' eyes. She was the other girl with whom Mr. Darnston was taking up," as his landlady put It. Mr. Barnston came, and before long I got more boarders than 1 could accommodate, ended Mrs. Hyssop. Again she' had set the ball rolling Barnstonward, and again her hopes rose, for the frail creature with the music roll at once plunged headlong into the subject of Mrs. Hyssops first ' boarder. & , Of course, she said, "you must have noticed that Mr. Barnston has been paying attention to me-- of late. He seems to be very nice. He is always so gentlemanly.) "He is Indeed, put in the laiRDady. There have been times" went on the girl,-- "when 1 felt as if I j5t must come, to you for advice twit Mr. You poor Mr. Horton, allow me to introduce you to my wife.x boarders could hardly await the com- ing event. The wedding supper was to be a most sumptuous culmination. By noon the house began to take oa its decorations. The boarders who came for their midday meal were loud In their praises of the excellent taste And when evening at , manifested. last came and thoy began to assemble in the parlor, there waB a veritable buzz of talk about things In general.. Finally the guests had been ushered in, all but one; and that one would not witness the ceremoney, In an upper room she sat alone at an open window, with a handkerchief, to her eyes, weeping. She could hear the minis-- , ters voice as ho made them man and wife. Later, when she heard the hilarity below, she knew that It was all over. But she still sat at the window. She saw the carriage drive up and halt at the stepping-stone- . She beard loud talking out on the sidewalk. She saw figures scurrying back and foith. Then she heard a chorus of shouts. A moment later the sound of rice thrown igalnst the carriage, -more shouting, and then the sharp baug to of the carriage door. Afterward the patter of horses feet, and the sound o! wheels onx the cobblestones. Then more shouting. Within the vehicle sat two very happy beings. The ride to the station was short, and when they entered their train Mr. Barnston was surprised to see, seated at ..he other end of the car, a former chum of his. Barnston and his bride bad hardly got comfortably seated when his friend left his seat to go to the smoker. As he came abreast of the newly wedded couple he recognized Barnston and baited: Jove, but I am glad to see you.
