She invited Cromwell t » their pri-

with a piano.

••Very much indeed.” ho answere I,
though the truth was ho scarcely

••Perhaps yen arc a musician?”
"Not at all.” ho saiil hastily, and
in this statement, at loast, ho was
correct “Won’t you play some-

“Very ir.uch. indeed.” said Crom-

slipped out so easily and naturally
that she seemed unconscious of them,

that Cromwell’s eves brightened,

••She is certainly very charming,”
thought Cromwell, “and she is very
friendly. I don t think I ever met.
a young lady so attractive.”
• Ilu's getting in love,” said Clara
to herself. “It'll bo fun to see him

with a smile. “Ifo you know you

feeling easier and more unembar-
rassed than ho had supposed to he
possible. When they entered the
hull he glanced around him with
pride at th • thought it would bepre-
eeivod that he was the chosen caval-
ier of such an attractive young lad.
Of tho concert it is unncccs-ary to
speak It clo-ed at u comparative I v

way homoward.
•■>hnll we prolong our walk a lit

it is very plea-ant."
"Yes. thnt will lie pleasant.” she
returned. "Papa is probably asleep
by this time, and won't miss mo.
W hat a charming concert we had."
"None of them sang as well as y ou,
Miss Manton,” said Cromwell.
"O. now vou are Haltering me, Mr.
Cromwell. I cannot permit thut. vou

“No. ho said earnestly, “1 am
not flattering yon, Miss Clara. You
are so so I hope you'll excuse me,
tint you aro so beautiful and attract-
ive that—''
"It. Mr. Cromwell!” uttered Clara;
adding to herself. "I dare say lie's
going to propose Well, it's just as
well now a- at any other time. How
ridiculous it make* him look, being
in love!"
Luckily unconscious of the
thoughts that were passing through
the mind of his companion, Crom-
well burst out. "Hut it s true. Mis*
Clara. I love you. and I don't think
I eau live without you. Will yfut
inarrj- tne?"
•I am afraid you have said such
tilings to a groat many other young
ladies before. How can 1 believe
you are in earnest?"
"No; on my honor," he said earn-
estly, "1 never loved before. Do
not doubt the sincerity of m, attach-
ment Don’t you think you can look
favorably upon my suit?”
• Porhaps I might,” sho answered
coyly. “That is. in time. It is so
sudden, you know. It is not more
than a month since I first met you."
“Hut in that month I have learned
to love you better than any one I
ever knew, Miss Clara Can't you
give me some encouragement:1 'i’ell
me that I ara not wholly disagreeable
to you?"
••If you had been, would I ha e a
copied your invitation this evening,
Mr Cromwell?"
"Then you do like tne a little?"
he said overjoyed.
•‘Perhaps a little.” she Baid co-
qucttishly.
After some time. Clara thought it
polite to confess that she had herself
no particular objections to him as a
husband -a confession which tilled
the enamored druggist with delight
— "but.” she proceeded. ••! cannot
marry without my father's approval. ”
•Hut do you think lie will object
to mo?” asked Cromwell, in dismay.
“Papa is a very peculiar man,”
answered Clara. "1 never can under-
take to say beforehand how he will
look upon any proposition Perhaps
ho may give his consent at once, or
perhaps it may take considerable
time to persuade him. I cannot toll.
Hut whatever he decides, I cannot
disobey him "
When Clara returned homo her
father happened to be still up. He
had become interested in something
that he was reading, and this caused
him to defer his hour of retiring.
"Well, papa,” said ( lara, “I’ve
got some news for you. ”
••What is it?”
"I've had an offer.”
"An offer? Who front?"
"Oh, from that ridiculous drug-
gist, Cromwell."
"Well, what did you say?”
••I referred him to you. He's go-
ing to call to morrow."
“Well, what shall I say? Ju-t
give tne instruction.,. Du you love
him?"
“.Stuff and nonsense, pu a’ As if
anybody could! Such a ridiculous
creature as lie is!”
“1 hen I am to decline tho honor of
his relationship?”
“Not exactly."
"But you don't lovo him?”
"That is not' necessary in mar
riage. Thank Providence. I am not

my heart for lo e. When I marry I
want to marry a man who lias got
some money. Just tind out if ho s 1

A previous test was made in Berlin
by the war department. A good
marksman fired at a horse having the
cloth round its body. A plaster of
paris bust was also placed in the coat
and tired at. Finally it was tried on
Dowe himself. The results justified
the inventor's claims, as they have in
other testa
The cuirass employed at this test
weighed sixteen pounds, but the in-
ventor promises to reduce it eventual-
ly to half that weight. Very little
is known yet of the composition
of the eoat Dowe will only ex-
plain its manufacture to the military
authorities. It is of felt and in its pres-
ent form is about two inches thick.
The coat is. of course, extremely cum-
bersome, but its adoption appears to
be inevitable. An army supplied with
it would be able to destroy, with little
loss on its own side, an army of sol-
diers not having tho eoat It is easy
lo imagine some of the radical changes
in warfare which the bullet proof eoat
will bring about Fighting will, in
many ways, resume its mediaeval
character, when men encased in steel
hacked at one another with weapons
of enormous weight and size. Huge
axes and other weighty implements
will possibly replace the sword and
bayonet in the soldiers' hands. Mechan-
ical ingenuity having advanced so
much since the middle ages, the new
weapons will, perhaps, resemble sur-
gical instruments. It will be neces-
sary to seek out the felt-encased man's
weakest point and attack him there.
A combat between two men attired in
this way will resemble a struggle be-
tween two oysters to get one another
open. The most useful firearms will
then bo the light, quick-tiring cannon,
for a shot from one of these, even if it
does not penetrate the eoat will surely
disable tiie wearer. The bullets of
all the new army rifles are extremely
small,and they apparently arc destined
to become useless.
A New Ice liox.
There is a new idea in ice boxes that
is well worth the attention of house-
keepers and housebuilders. It is often
well worth while to have a large re-
serve ice chest, in which to put a stock
of ice to draw from as occasion re-
quires. This is built in tho cellar, or
in any convenient place in a shod or
area way. A suitably sized box is
built either of cement and gravel or of
a single course of brick properly laid
in cement mortar. I'ross pieces, either
of wood or iron, are put in to support
the necessary shelves At one end of
the box an upper-story receptacle for
ice may be arranged in the form of a
box set over the end of tlie first box,
or the icc may rest upon a shelf iu tiie
main part of the chest. The entire
inside is smoothly finished in l’ort-
land cement, and the outside may
have a eoat of good mortar to make
it smooth ami eleanable It is possi-
ble to make an inner surface almost as
smooth as glass, and it may be
scrubbed with hot water and soap. A
drainage pipe is fixed in at one corner
of the floor of the ice-holder, being of
zinc, and tiie pipe beiug properly at-
tached. In a sandy or porous soil the
drip may run iuto the earth, or it may-
be caught iu a pan set under the
drainage pipe. A double cover of
rub-
a
re-
se-
otlier ease some old stakes and
blah that had been left oil
brushpile for years were
moved, when the laborer was
verely attacked with this difficulty,
the eyes l>eing almost closed from the
swelling of the face. This poison is
somewhat eccentric ill its action, and
its victims never know just what
course it may take. It sometimes
makes its appearance on one arm or
one ankle, and may appear in several
succeeding years at about the same
date. Sometimes it is a permanent
tenant breaking out all over the body
whenever the system has been over-

a lawyer, and has occupied many posi-
tions of trust and responsibility, fcav
