HEROES OF FICTION. ______ t s_a~«s_Llw Undowod with the Perfection ol I>hysloal Qaalltles. All novel readers—and they are about 80 per cent ot all the people yrho read books at all—must have been struck with the fact tbat the heroes and heroines o f Action are usually endowed with the very per fection o f physical qualities, even though their morals be somewhat\ off color, and their actions men, as phould bring them directly within the purview o f the criminal law. In fact, it may be said in a general way that the bigger scoundrel and villain a man is , in a novel, the more closely floes he resemble the Apollo Belve dere in outward semblance; and the more sensual and deceitful and base a woman is , the more i s 6he fashioned In the physical HkeDCss of some me diaeval saint, or o f some woman who seems to exude goodaess and virtue. If the novelists are right, the physiognomists and phrenologists and the great detectives and students o ) penology o f the world must be wrong The latter insist, with complete unanimity, that there i s a well-de fined physical criminal type; that men and women with certain shaped head! and faces, and with certain kinds of eyes and facial expressions, make uj the criminal classes, and ihat it ii just as unnatural to And crime unas sociated with these physical quail tics as to find grapes on thorns C3 tigs on thistles. It i s true that tnert are exceptions to this general rule, but they are not numerous enough to Impinge in any degree ujion the geD era'ity o f the rule. Once in a while ar , Antinous maj turn burglar or a Cornelia may be convicted o f shoplifting, but the cases are so rare as- to cut no marked Dgure in the annals o f crimp If il Is to be conceded that realistic fic tion serve* a useful purpose, thai purpose should not he defeated bj making wee attractive o r criminals physically pei feet .

N the yea r o f grace 185C a bar onet of mature years was married with much pomp and ceremony at St George's, Hun- over Square. The i -NJ, marriage had been ! arranged a few weeks before, and had j come with something of a surprise to the | bridegrooms large circle of acquaint ances. \Have you heard about Stanhope?\ | asked one. \Xo. What about him?\ aske d an other. \lie's giin;r to he married \Married ? Stauhope' Never \Fact I assur e you ' \Hut to whom I\ \Oh!

I with an even in .ire eusur.1 ai r than hi s | informan t ha d shown about th e latest bit of gossip. And the lales' bit of sossip turned out to b e perfectly true Si r Henry Stan hope, grave an. I learned statesman tbat he wai , rich, powerful and apparently a confirmed old bachelor, who had been for years th e hope and afterward despair of all the mothers i n England who were of a class t o exoect to secur e Cabiuet Ministers as their sons-in-law, had actuall y gone down i n the country o n n visit not unconnected with politics, and had fallen a victim at eight-and-forty years, old t o the charms of a country parson's daughter, who had never been to Londo n in her life, and who did not, moreover , care a button about him. But she wa s very pretty, very graceful , and had been what i s called ver y well bought up: that is t o say, with the strictest possible ideas of duty and obedience. There had been in pretty Dorris Kev- estan' s young life a certain touch of romance, som e tender und altogether idylli c love passages between he r and one Norman Dare, a handsome and dar ing lad of a litt.e more than a year older than herself, who had come to .'.'But you hadhetter sit aown, my dear; sit down.\ Now ni l this was quite new to Doris. thatshe,«the young person in whom the eld Adam was s o unfortunately strong, th'e special tria l and anxiety of her fa ther's closing.yeara—she who at leas t once in each month of the year ran a near chance of bringing his gray hairi in sorrow to the'grave—that she should for no apparent reason be asked, a s po litely a s he would ask tho lady of the Court herself, t o si t down i n that sacred room, it was—well, it took her breath away. But she sa t down on the least com fortable cnair she could Und , and said: \Yes papa,\ i n a weak voic e of wonder. Papa cleared hi s throat by a discreet littl\ cough. \The fac t is, Doris, my dear,\ he said, in a tone of much satisfaction, \the fact is I have a great piece of news fo r you.\ \Are they going to make you a bi«hop, papa?\ cried Doris, responding to the kind tone a s a rosebud responds to the warm sunshine. \Not at trie present that I know of,\ returned the vicar, not displeased that his young daughter's first thought should be of advancement fo r him. \No the news entirel y concerns your self.\ \Me!\ crie d Doris. \Sir Henry Stanhope\—the words came out eac h with their full value— \has been to see me this morning, and he does us both the honor to propose fo r you \ •'For me—to marry me?\ cried Doris. \To marry you,\ returned papa, in a tone so redolent of satisfaction and pride that the girl kuew her fat e was seuled. She sat fo r a moment staring blankly at her father, blankly and blindly, fo r she did not se c him. Instead there floated before her ey e s the vision o f a young boyish face, the upper li p scarcely shaded a s yet, the sunny hair al l i n con fusion, the gray eyes danciug with light and love. \Well?\ said the vicar. \He i s very old,\ faltere d Doris ner vously. \Not nt all . He i s just eight-and- forty, i n the ver y prime of his life ' ' She wanted t o marry Norman Dare, but she did not venture to sa y so. \But he i s a great deal oiler than I am,\ she persisted. \He wil l h e all the better able to take- care of you,\ said the vicar. \He's s o stout,\ murmttrred Doris, after a piu-e. \Sir Henry has a remarkably fine pres ence,\ said the vicar, relapsing into his old in An ae r of severity. \But—but I don't even know him — a t least, seircely a t all,\ she burst out, with a last feeble ellort to asser t her self \That is a matter whicl* aud time will soon remedy, vicar, rising from hi s chair, dear, le t u s have n o arguments about i t You have had a great honor conferred upou you, and you are about to make a very brilliant marriage—'ar more bril liant than 1 eve r hoped you would make, or thau— I do not wish t o pai n you, Dons, but I am i n justice compellel to sa y that your own deceitful past deserves You have been greatly blessed , Doris, and I trust,\ h e went on, lapsiu; the severe and worldly parent more pious style , which he found most effectiv e i n thepirish, \that you will be grateful to the good and all-wis e Prov idence which has forgiven the past an 1 cast your lines into pleasant and pros perous places. Stay here u fe w moments, my dear.\ He went out of the room and closed the door behind him, and Doris was left to face the awfu l fact s of her future alone. Poor child, what a mockery his las t words had been to her. \Pleasant and piosperous places\—places i n which there could he n o Norman Dare, no fun , no life, no anything but a dreadful un known and ver y tiresome Si r Henry Stanhope. And after that Si r Henry came i n and drew her o n to the sofa, where she sat, a I poor, little , trembling, shivering slip o f the y spent three weeks b y themselves, and a s a true and faithrul chroniclor I must admit that several times Sir Henry yawned wearily during the lost week, and finally with an excuse about im portant papers, shut himsel f up. in the library, leaving poor little Lady Stan hope staling out o f the window, saying in he r heart, \If life i s going to be all like this, 1 hope and pray it wont b o long.\ Well , a t Vhe end o t three weeks they went a round o f country visits , and then wen t to Si r Henry's own place in Devon shire, where they entertained a select party , and afterward Lady Stnnhopo went t o town, while Si r Henry did his turn of attendance upon his sovereign— and from that day they never spent three weeks—aye, and hardly three days— alone together again. — They got on very well—very well, indeed . Sir Henry wa s very much en grossed by his duties a s a Cabinet MID- inster—Doris by hers a s a woman o1 fashion, which, like most women who hav e th e chnnce o f becoming such, sh e very quickly became: and i f ever « thought of Norman Dare came to dis turb her , Si r Henry was never f.ny th e wiser lo r it . And i n due time there came a babe tc th e bouse—a son and heir . \I shoul d like him to be called Nrr- man,\ said Lady Stanhcpe, the first time Sir Henry was allowed to enter her room Sir Henry looked more than doubtful. \My dear,\ he said, kindly, \I am sorry to seem so against you, but I must remind you that I am the fourteenth Henry Ughtred Stanhope in the direct line, an d tbat it will be doing the child a positive injury if we do not make him th e fifteeutb. \ \But I should like to call Norman after the other two nanies.'Lgersisted Doris, who had become very* fond of her ow n way since leaving the rathei stiff and rigid ne3t at Wetheryl. \We have always calle d al l the chil dren b y their mother's surname, im mediately before the family nnrae,\ said Sir Henry. \For instance, I am Su Henry Ughtred Power Stanhope.\ \Then w e will call him Henry Ughtred Norman Keyestan Stanhope,\ said his mother, smoothing the babe' _ fiully head wit h he r weak fingers. So th e hei r o f the Stanhopes was duly registered and christeued \Henry Ugh tred Norman Keyestan Stanhope,\ and tne initials thereof spelled \Hunks.\ Mr. ICevestau was a little curious adoul th e matter . \My dear,\ he sai d blandly, \the child' s first aud last names are in telhgible enough—but why Norman? - ' \I hail a fancy fo r it,\ sai d my lady, coldly. \Ah I thought perhaps i t was one o l Sir Henry's family names,\ he said care lessly \Wnat made me ask was that th e initials made such a dreadful coin - ' buiation \ | \I don't suppose anybody will cve i notice th e initials,\ sai d Lady Stanhope ! rathe r crossly. | Bu t they did I \Wuen young Norman was seven years old, Si r Henry died and 1 was laid to his fathers with much pomp unci ceremony. His widow was very 1 sorry , sh e cried very effectively \at the funeral, and wore tho ver y deepest of rrepe for twelve months. After that she bega n t o wear rich silks and a few jet ' ornaments, to put an edge of white i n from ' collars and cuffs of her go^ns, and to go to the ' t0 dinne r pariies and such-like quiet en tertainments. Then when that period cam e t o a u end, aud Si r Henry had been dea d tw o years, she blossomed out into delicate silver grays and soft mauves, in whic h sh e positively looked younger and much prettie r than she had done a s a brid e te a years before) and while she was in the silver gray and mauve period he r boy showed some slight symptoms of chest delicacy , and sh o promptly took hi m off t o Italy fo r the winter. At Genoa they stopped and made n long stay, partly because the climate seemed t o suit young Norman, partly because two young English families of title, each with a goodly allowance o f boy s of Norman's age, were there also. Fine fu n these youngsters had to gether , and unending was tbe mischief into which they managed to get. They Sir Henry replied the \Pray my a girl, while h e made lukewarm sort of love i n a ponderous and unaccustomed read u p for the army with her father's | way, such a s brought bask her brave l young hot-headed sweetheart to her ' mind, and almost made her scream with a mingling, of real agony and genuine laughter a s her thoughts contrasted the two. And hy-and-by her father came back again, and blessing them both, and choked a little , and dashed away some thing from hi s eyes with hi s hand, very much to Doris's astonishment.

Doris never dreamed, well-brought-up little girl that she was, that i n the matter of affection she wa s more vitally concerned than her father could possibl y be . She received one last heart-token lette r fro m Norman, bezging her t o b e faithful and true to hiui, and she sent him n reply by tho same mean s as she hud receive d bis— a reply which,unfortunntely,her reverend parent happened to get hold of, and which natuially, never readied th e des tinatio n for which it was intended. And so her tjirlish romance came to au end, and for years—two of them, a s a matter of fact—she never heard word o r sign to lea d he r t o imagine that Norman Dare had no t utterly forgotten her. So when sh e was nineteen, and the great Cabinet Minister, Si r Henry Stan hope, came down from London t o stay a day o r tw o a t Wetheryl Court, and, tn the delight of her reverend fathe r und the utter astonishment of the whole neighborhood, was taken with a fancy that Miss Dori s Kevestan's blu e eyes were th e prettiest o f their kind, o r fo r the matter of that, o f any other kind that h e hnd eve r seen in al l hi s eight- and-fort y years of life, no question was ever raised a s to whether she would ac cept th e brilliant marriage that wa s of fered to her o r not. Everything was managed i n quite the orthodox, old fashioned way. Si r Henry conveyed hi s wishes to the reverend papa, an d papa sent fo r Doris into his 6tudy , where she went in fear and trem bling, expectin g to get a wigging fo r some misdemeanor she had unthinkingly committed. \I sent fo r you, Doris,\ said Mr. Kevestan, in quite a new tone, which Doris di d no t understand at all—a-tonc an which tho usual severity of his pater, nnl manner was distinctly tempered by zesccct for the future Lady SUnhope. father, th o immediate resul t being that ] of the Couit came down, a s she ten that youn g gentleman received instruc- derly put it , t o offer her help and un tions t o leave his tutor at Wetheryl and ! dertuke thon e offices which Doris's dead take u p his quarters quite a hundred J and gone mother would have performed had she still been living—to take the child up to town at once t o present her at the last drawing room of the sea son s o that the following yeir Lidy 1 Stanhope might h e presented \on her ] marriuge\ to superintend the choice of ti proper and suitable trousseau fo r the girl bride of a Cabinet Minister, and, | in short, to get a s much \.tudos'' out of Djris a s if Si r Henry had been mar rying her daughter instead of Doris Kevestan. ] And when onc e matters were fairly | set in train, there wa s hut little delay. Doris had her choice o f everything— 1 except her husband. T .ie great Stau- hope diamonds wer e al t reset, tbe little ' slender bunds, that Norman Dare hud loved and kissed two year s before, I were loaded now with costl y jewels I She went to shops day afte r day with I Lidy Wetheryl, and spent a fortune in ' silks and laces ana furs; day afte r day • Sir Hemy came ana spent such time us ' he could stea l fro m hi s parliamentary 1 duties with her, bringing great posie s . and baskets of flowers, and gifts of jewelry, such a s she had never before dreamed of , and past al l this whirl of splendor time went swiftl y and relent 1 lessly on, at. d in si x weeks fro m the time o f that momentous interview i n her i father's study she bec.im e Si r Henry Stanhope's v/ife. I do not know that nfter the first shock of being suddenly thrown into an entirely new life was over that sho was ' actually unhappy, not actively so, at least. In those days people had long honey moons, and although Si r Henry was, owing to prossura of work, unable to re main very long i n seclusion, ho was yet free to take a houoymooa holiday such as now-a-days would be considered pre posterous. They had a castle in bonnie Scotland lent to them by a noble duke, and there ran fairly wild about (he old streets, and up an d down the terraces and steps with which L a Superba abounds. Finally, however, their pranks came to an abrupt termination , fo r one day young Hunks, as th e boys one and al t calle d him, either slipped o r was tripped, and fell from top to botto m of a long flight o f marble steps, where he lay lik e a log, senseless and still. Down tho steps, iu an agony of fright, came th e half dozen youngsters, to find Hunks alread y lifted from the ground by a stranger , who had been lounging near a t th e time. \He's no t dead, sir , i s he?\ gasped the eldest of the half dozen. \Ob no; a bit stunned, that's all,\ was th e answer. \Get somo water, or a lemon, anything to bring him around again.\ B y th e help o f a few drops o f water the boy opened his eyes. \Hunks ol d mau,\ sai d the boy who had first spoken to the stranger, \arc you much hurt?\ \Not much. I've cracked my head a bit.

Well, I'll go uj with you,\ h e said. \And I'l l go on and fell your mothei Hunks,\ said the eldest lad . \All right. Don't frighten her,\ Hunks replied. '•Hunks!

I am Sir Norman Stanhope.\ \Norman—you are called Norman— why—\ but just then Lady Stanhope herself cam.c running along the terrace, frightened by the report of her boy's play-fellows, and expecting to see a battere d corpse, or next door to it. \OhI you are all right,\ she cried joyously,then looked up at the stranger. \Why Norman,\ she cried out. \Nor- man-Oh!\ \It's all right, mother,\ said Hunks, thinking she was speaking to him. \Yes said Lady Stanhope'softly, as Norman Dare caught her hands. \Yes; i t is all right—now.\—John Strang* \Winter. \ - • ..v.. .-. i HOUSEHOLD MATTERS.

A HINT OR TWO. It is often difficult in small rooms to find accommodauion fo r evening and bost dresses. An ingenious contrivance was shown me recently, and I am sure, Bays the Decorator and Furnisher, many women will be glad to hear of it . I t consisted o f a wooded box o n castors, fitting underneath the bed, long enough to take evening dresse s folde d almost at full length. It wa s not quite a s wide a s the bed,-und i t eould be drawn out very easily by means of a handle at each side. Where space i s limited, a n easel i n one corner, prettily draped, with a mirroi put in the cross-oar instead of a picture, and a thrce-coinered table placed just below to hold all the toile t necessaries, form quite an artisti c ond ornamental spot. The cross-bar must be broa d and and tolerably firm und the mirror of good size. The point of the table fits into the corner. A pretty cloth corre sponding with the drapery of the easel should be thrown over it . I f desired, a second shelf could b e added to tbe table to hold extra things. Toe pin cushion could hang o n one side. This arrangement can be curried ou t with good effect i n a ooudoir . An y carueDter coul d make the corner tab .e. J>- BEIIALF OK CABBAGE. First, to avoid scenting th e house Cut the cabbage, if small , int o foui pieces, removing the heart and th e outer leaves. Have a large saucepa n full of water, boiling furiously , into this plunge your cabbage, with a tablespoouful o l salt and n surd! s^Uspoonful of soda. Put o n the cover unti l i t boils rapidl y again, theu remove i t und Doil for twenty minutes, uncovered Remember the saucepuu should b e large, with plenty of boiling water. Cooked i n thi s way the cabbige lose s it s strong taste and be comes delicate aud ensily digested. In deed, persons who c .iuuo. easily ea t cabbage cooked with corned beef o t bacon, can indulge in cabbage boile 1 in salte d water with as much impunity u s in coleslaw o r sauerkruut. And i t is be t ter without vinegar. Turn th e cabbage into u colander, while you prepare iu the saucepan a cream sauce of on e table spoonful o f butter, one teaspounful of flour and a liulf cupfu l of milk , with pepper and a little salt. Ketur u the cabbage to the saucepan, an d le t alt bubble up together once. O r yo u can serve the cabbage with a simple dressing of butter, if you prefer O r yo u ca u add i t in the proportion of one third t o two thirds of mashed potato, moistening with butter o r cream, making that good old standby, colccnunon. CAKES THAT WILL KEEP. The young young housekeeper, whe has the widest freedom of choice open to her, may find eve n among good ol d favorites some reliabl e cake \thai wil l keep,\ which she may like to adopt fo r a stock supply t o fall back upo n a s oc casio n demands. These recipes have borne .the te3t of practica l use and severe criticism, and ar e commended as worthy of confidence. Home Fruit Cike—A cupful of but. ter, two o f soft brown sugar , on e of dark molasses, five eggs, teasnoonful o f soda dissolved i n hal f a cupful of hot water, two tablespoonfuls o l caramel— this i s fo r coloring and may h e omitted if ono chooses, nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves and ginger at discretion, a piund of raisins, one of currants, half a pouju of citron and a quarter of candied orange peel. This makes a handsome and de liciou s enke, not a s rich as woddiog cake, but sufficiently s o fo r al l ordinary occa sions, nnd the large loaf which this re ceipt makes will keep long enough t o furnish a goodly number of cuttings. Madeleines—Tnough made ufter the old inexhaustible formula fo r pound cake, these littl e cakes may b e s o varied a s to pass fo r novelties, while thei r ex cellence and their keeping qualities are unrivalled. The recipe calls for hal f a pound o f sweet butter, half a pound of powdered sugar, half a pound of pastry flour, and four large o r five small eggs. Cream tho butter and sugar thoroughly, add tho well beaten yolks of the eggs nnd beat again, then the white s i n a stil l froth with the flour and flavoring pre ferred. It may b e tho rind an d n spoon ful o f the juice of a lemon, wit h a little candied lemon peel stuck lightly i n tbe tops ot the cakes, o r orange flower water with a handful of blanched almonds use d in tho same way, o r simple vanilla ex tract. Bake i n a gem pan o r m any fancied small tins. Icing give s another opportunity fo r individual skill and taste. Orange iuic e strained and beaten with a s much sugar a s i t will take up Bmoothly makes a ver y agreeable icing. Lemon dike—A cupful of butter, one and a half o f powdered sugar, four eggs, three cupfuls of flour, the grated rind and juice of a lemon and two cupfuls of Zante currants. Oue mn y us e two eggs only—and two teaspoonsful s of baking powder, i f it i s to b e used im uediutelv. For a cake to be put by , it i s well t o re member that the richer cakc3 require longer bnking i n a more moderate oven. The excellence of light soda cak e ofte n depends almost wholly upon quic k and careful baking. Nut Coke—A cupfu l of butter, two ot sugar, lialf a cupfu l of milk, a cupful of chopped raisins and one of shelle d hickory nuts,four eggs—whites and yolks separately beaten—half a teaspoonfu l of soda and one of cream tarter. Add th e fruit und nuts Inst; frost with joudant icing. Nut Wafer Cakes—A cupfu l of brown sugar, one of nuts, a pinch of salt, two eggs and a scant cuplul of flour. Drop in small heaps o n a well-grease d paper and bake quickly.
