H E villnge, with the school and everything in it, properly belonged to the S q u ire; b u t people called the school the little Squire's sobool, because no one took such an in terest in it ss did the little Squire. Why, ho would arrive at the school every afternoon for weeks running and leave his pony standing, with its shaggy head halfway in tho door, whilo ho took up his position beside the teacher, and gravely regarded the boys and girls. “ Weli, Charley, how's y o u r school?\ the Squire would ask, if he happened to meet bis son returning from the village. “ Coming on finely, eh? Learning 'readin', writtin* and 'rith- metio, and sewing into the bargain?” And then tba Squire would roar, laughing; for he thought it a huge joke tho interest the little Squire took in the village school. Even the schoolmaster, Mr. Finch, spoke of the school over whioh he bed presided for fifteen years as tho little Sqtlire's sobool. But many and many a time the good man (aid to himself : “ He’s a fine, manly little fellow, the little Squire; h u t i ’m feared he'll bo spoiled. 'Tisn’t m o re'n hum an nature that tho little Squire should be spoiled, with tho Squire himself willing to ran st the lad's bock nnd call, almost, and the children here at tho school fairly worshiping. A fine, fino lad ; b u t 'tis a pity.” The schoolmaster said all this, however, before a certain occur rence and its sequel down at the little Squire’s sobool. This is how it was. The little Squire stood as straight as a soldier in front of a long line of boys and girls. He held s spelling book in one hand and a ruler in the o t h e r ; the littlo Squire was fond of slapping tho book with thu rnler. Tho schoolmaster wns smiling as bo sat idle a t his desk. The little Squire turned bsok tho leaves of the spelling book and gave out the word “ Bowl I1' Seated at tho bead of the bench, with her eyes fastened upon tho little Squire, was a little flaxen-haired girl wearing a queer, voluminous frock and a skimpy print apron. She was nu odd-looking, eager little girl and she spelled very quickly \B-o-I-1.” “That isn't right,” said the littlo Squire. Tho littlo girl's face grew red anil white by turns, a bright gleam came into her blue eyes aud she showed one dimple in her left ohoek. “ An.i E lisabeth,” called out Mr. Finob, in a warning tone. “ Next,\ oried tho little Squiro. “ B-o-w-1, bowl,” said tho seoond little pnpi), emphatically. “ Go heed,\ ordered tho littlo Squire. Then he looked nt Ann Eliza beth ; she was actually m u ttering that It wasn't fair. “Yon’re a verv bad girl, Ann Eliza- beth,\ said tho lad. “ 1 think yon for- get who is teacher to-day. ” Then Ann Elisabeth shocked every one in the sohool. She burst into im pudent laughter. ' ‘You’re a common girl, Ann Eliza beth,” cried tho little Squiro, energet ically ; “ u&tl I won't teach this clast* any more till Mr. Fmoh sees that you mind yonr m anners.\ And with that the lad toesod the spelling book aoross to the toaohor’s desk, darted out of the scboolbouse. mounted bin pony, looking uncon oernedly into the room, and rode away in high dudgeon. “ I'm astonished at yon, Ann Eliza beth,\ said Mr. Fipoh, sternly. \I was under the impression that you were a we'l-behaved g irl.\ Tho spelling class was for tho most part dumbfounded ; bnt s till that dan gerous dimple showed itself iu Ann Elizabeth's left cheek, aud 6till her eyes gleamed. “ I know I'm a common girl,\ said Ann Elizabeth, as she trudged homo a quarter of an hour after the other ehildreu; \but I know it's worse to call a person what they is thau what they isn't; and 1 know that word boll was right. I'll bo e v e n yet with tho little Square.\ About a week later tho little Squire overtook Auu Elizabeth as she was walkiug along the laue. He rode very ■lowly as ho came up to her, for he wanted Ann Elizabeth to beg his par d o n ; he wanted to give out some more lessons at hia school. Then the shaggy j little pony of its own accord stood ; •till by tho side of Ann Elizabeth The little Squire lifted his cap and said \Good-morning.\ Ann Elizabeth curtesiod. \I know I'm a common girl, Square Charley,\ she said, suddenly. , I Thereupon the little Squire, who was really of a very generous nature and who knew nothing of Ann Eliza beth's d angerous dimple, cried out. : im p etuously: \Oh I shouldn't have called you th a t ; I'm very sorry that I called you ; th a t But I'm gla<^ to hoar you ac knowledge you were wrong, Ann Eliz abeth,\ he added, in a superior wav ; ! for at times the little Squire was ex ceeding pompous. \The word you give out is spelled two ways,\ said Ann Elizabeth, slowly | and distinctly, \b-o-1-1 andtvg-w 1.\ * \That msy be, Ann E lizabeth,\ re- j turned the little Squire, determined not to lose his tem p e r; \b n t it n e only spelled one way in the spelling b o o k . \ # rhcnthe spelling book's the dumb ■**1 thing I ever heered of,’* cried Ann Elizabeth. \That may be, Ann E lizabeth,\ ac quiesced the little S q u ire; “ out I scarcely thiuk you and I are called upou to discuss the questiou.\ Ie looked so very little seated up there npon his pony, and his words seemed so very big that for * moment Ann Elizabeth almost gave up her idea ©J getting even ; b u t abs had been head i» the spelling clast Uus« months all but two days, and her granlm o th- er bad promised her a new calico frock if she stood bead at the end of t third m o u th ;* and although Ann Elizabeth's frocks were voluminous nod came almost down to her heels she was immensely proud of a now one. \ I ’m a common girl, I know th a t,\ I repeated Ann Elizabeth ; \aud you're I a tine littlo gentleman, everybody , knows that, and I got a grandm o ther ! end so hev you.\ She was looking over the back of j tho shaggy pony, far away from the little Squiro’s hono«t eyes. The little Squire was going to bo a n gry, but he smiled instead. \T h a t’s so, Ann Elizabeth,\ he said. \I'v e got a grandm o ther, and so have yon.\ \M y grandraothef,\ said Ann Eliz abeth, looking wickedly into tho won dering face of the little Squire, \helps with tho baby aud bakes pies aud does a turn most every w h ere; you can't go by the houso you don’t hear her sing- in \ Onct your grandm o ther went a potterjn’ 'round at Farmer H a th away's, workin’ b a rd as anybody ’foro sho m arried the Square’s fath e r ; now you keep her lack ebo was a chiny t e a pot or Bome’n ; dress her in silk, aud a'most Ret her in a chair. She do look lack a c b iny doll, sure 'uoilgh, so tt i n ’ wishin' tho L o r d 'd teck her. Little Square, my grandm o ther pities your grandm o ther; hoar that?\ Tho shaggy pony kept its feot p lant ed in the middle of tho lane ai tho little Squire’s indignant eyes followed the figure of Ann Elizabeth going ou to his school. Tho trees met overhead in tlio ave nue up which tho little Squiro galloped his pony. Ho had rautterod “ china toapot\ and \china doll” defiantly, b e fore he persuaded tho pony tu loave that s p o tiu tho lano, and his face wns aflame as iio galloped up the nveuuo. \C h ina tea p o t ! China doll, in deed !\ Tho little Squire was iu an irritable mood as he m o u n ted tho hall steps. Everything about him was elegant as he had always remembered, large, comfortable and elegant; aud yet ho never lor a moment doubtod tho words Ann Elizabeth referring to his grand- mother \p o tte r in ’ rouud at Farmer Hathaway’s.\ H e entered the back parlor where ho know his grandm o th er was sure to be ; but he did not speak to her, he just went to tossing about tho papers on tho center table. Be ing angry with the common little girl made him angry with tho whole world. But never in his short life had tbe littlo Squire rem ained angry for a long time. All a t once he raised his oyes from tho scattered papers nnd re garded his grandm o ther. Shu must have seeu hitn when ho first came in, but she was not thinking of him now ; she was s itting iu her rocking chair at tho west window. No, he was Dot angry, but Ann Elizabeth’s words were ringing in hia ears : \Dress her in silk and a’most set her in a chair, Sho do look lack a chiny doll sure ’nougb.\ Was his grandm o ther sit ting there wishing the Lord would take h e r? Then the littlo Squire hid his face for a m oment in his a rm s; for oven as ho had galloped furiously past Auu Elizabeth’s home ho had heard the useful old grandm o ther laughing aud singing to tho baby. And that old grandm o ther pitied his grand mother Ho walked softly across the room and stooped and kissodtho little old lady, \Yon don’t want to go Heav- en yet a while, do you, Grandmoth er?\ he asked, anxiously. She started guiltily, her shrunken little face Hushing. \ I t ’s very nice down here,'Charley,’’she said, smooth ing out her gown. \Is it made of silk?\ questioned the boy. following the movement of his grandm o ther’s hand. \Yes dear, i t ’s made of silk—fine silk,\ she murm u red. \B u t you don’t feel like—like you was a china doll, do you, G randm o th er?\ \A china doll,\ ropcatod tho ob] lady, iu a trem u lous tone—\a chiua doll. Who says that, Charloy?” But the little Squire hung his head. Ho never intcudod to tell of Anna Elizabeth. As tho day went by the lad did not go again to the village school; instead he set diligently to watching his little china doll grandm o ther; for that was the way she began always to appear in his thoughts. Hi* wondered how it would be to grow old and sit still and have nothing to do. Some people, of course, might like it, but not a person who had once been busy, not a person who had gone \potterin' round at Farmer Hathaway’s.’’ 4-lis g randm o th er used to take up her knitting occa sionally; but she didu’t caro for knit ting; it cramped her fingers. Some tim e s—this the little Squiro noticed with a great sinking of his heart—tho littlo grandm o ther sat at tho western window aud cried softly to herself. One day tho littlo Squire kissed the little old grandm o ther right whcrothe tears were s e ttling on her cheek, aud cried out, in his impulsive wav, \Grandm o ther, did you use to like to work?\ \Liko to work, Charley?\she asked, faintly. And then of a eiuMeu th*’ little grandm o ther was quivering aud crying and laughing all at once, as sho told the little Sqnire about her past usofuluea* and how she was wont to “ fiy around tho houae.\ “ And i%iw,\ she added, \I'v e uot lung to do, n o th ing whatever to do, no rnoro than if I wasn’t in the world. But it's all r i g h t ; yes*,pf course it’s all r ight,\ she went • o n ; ‘\ I'm the Squire’s mother, and I'm proud and happy an d then the poor little grandm o ther, from something i she saw in tho little Sq'iiro’s big blue ! eyes, hid her littlo, old face iu her little, old, useless bauds, ami fell tt* • sobbing like a baby. Ton minutes later tho little Squire ! knocked boldly at hi* lather s study. \Come in !\ roared tho Squir •. When thv little* Squire, thu* hid den, opened tho door he found his uiahioia idling away the Square's time to tho Squire’s infinite satisfaction. The lad walked resolutely to his fath er’s desk, aud determ ination in his blue eves, his lips pressed together \ i ’ve just been with grandm o ther,\ ho began ; \ she isn't happy here. I say, grandm o ther ought to l»e made awfully happy, she’s so littlo and she’s so good.\ Thereupon tho Sqnire was for rush ing off to th»’ back parlor to tin 1 out what was the niatU r ; but h:« wife put her hand on his and bade him tick the little Squire to explain. \M o ther unhappy in my hpu«o?\ fumed tho Squire. \W h at do you mean. Charley-1\ \She’s got to have something to do,\ ►aid the little Squirt*, boldly. Hho an i 1 have got to take caro of the parlors or sonie’n ; *he m eat n 't Mt ►till all day any longer.\ Tlieu the lad s bravery deserted him. “ I t ’s true, Mother, he sobbed out, “ my grandmother - treated like she was a chiua doll, and Ann E lizabeths grandm o ther make- the whole hatne ehippr.\ The Squire's m*'atb and eye* wc-r* both opeu very w ile \Clean th parlors'\ he ga*pe I. Mother would n 't like th a t ; that s servant's work. Then, 86 if he might solve tho problem in a n o ther way, he inquired, anxiously, ‘•Who’s Ann Elizabeth?\ The little Squire’s m other answered for him, with a faint smile. \S h e ’s one of tho children down at tho little Squire's school.\ \W e ’d just dust,\ said tho little S q u ire, pcrseveringly; \ I ’d dust the piano legs while Grandmother dust the chairs. Sally never half dusts, any way. Aud Grandmother and I could have ^ fibwer bed back |of the parlor windows; that wouldn’t be sorvant’s work, F a ther.\ The littlo Squire al most s tuttered in liis eagerness, while tho big Squire's amazement grew aud about him. \The little Squire may bo right,\ she said softly; \wo must let him do what he can to make G rand mother happy.’’ It was a happy day for the little,old grandm o ther when, enveloped in a white apron, she dusted tho center- table in the front partor. The littlo Squire sat under tbe piano feasting liis eyes upon her before ho vigorously dusted the legs. And that flower bed under the back windows; why, from tho very beginning it brought tho laughter into G randm other’s littlo wrinkled face. The little Squiro entered his school very gravely one m orning toward the close of tho third term. It al most seemed as if he had been neglecting his duty; ho hadn’t been near there for over four weeks. Tho common littlo girl hung down her head when she saw him. The little Squire had never told of her, and sho felt ashame 1 an 1 r e p e n t ant. The schoolmaster smiled iu hearty welcome. \ I ’d liko to hear tho spelling class, Mr. Finch, if you don’t m ind,\ said the little Bquire; aud the schoolmas ter smilod again and held out the book. \ I ’m going to skip about,\ said tho little Squire. It was a long time beforo the littlo Squire selected a place iu tho spelling book. Then ho looked at Ann Eliza beth, who stood at tho head. \Boll J\ he said. \B-o-w-1 answered Ann Elizabeth, iu a low voice. \T h e re are two ways of spelling that w o rd,\ said tho littlo Squire, looking far away over Anu Elizabeth’s meek bead; \ I didn’t know it the other tim e ; this word’s spelled the other way, but both ways are right. If I ’d know I wouldn’t have made Ann Elizabeth go down.\ Then the little Squire’s eyes fell ou Anu Elizabeth, abject uud miserable. Ho saw tho flaxen head bowed away down over the bib of tho tunny little aprou. He knew that Auu Elizabeth was just as sorry as she could be. But, somehow, the littlo Squire was just as glad us ho could be. \Ann Elizabeth,\ bo said, in a friendly fashion, \you ought to see my grand m other and' mo dusting tho parlor furniture ; you ought to sco us I Aud we’vo started a flower b e d ; wo’ro going to huvo every kind of flower. You must como up und see it some tim es.\ Thcu, to tbe amazement of the spell ing class, tho littlo Squiro held out his aristocratic hand to tho common littlo girl, as if 9ho were a great lady or somebody whom he respected very much, and Auu Elizabeth took it and laughed bashfully. And Mr. Finch looked on affection ately from his seat at the teacher's desk down iu the littlo Squire’s school. —The Independent. A Japanese Hostelry. W hen one enters a Japanese hotel, far away from a treaty port, ho passes through the spotless kitchen, where landlord, cook, aud waitress all salute him with \You have como with hon orable oarliness.\ Here, too, liis de parture is bailed with, “ Please return wit h august earlino.ss.\ Tho food p r e pared in tho clean kitchen, however, the traveler will not liko. Especially will ho raise tlie meat to which ho is accustomed, unless he is near tho sea, when abundant fish will be served. Tourists often, perhaps u sually,take with them knives, forks, spoons, bread and canned meat. At tho hotel they find neither these, nor chairs, nor tables, nor milk, nor coffee, nor beds. Nor will he, unless the hotel is very small, find quiet. Fish, rice, lily bulbs, boiled chest- nut*, and other articles of tho sort disposed of, tho eveuiug draws on, and the bath is ready. This is in m arly the most public view, and tilled with boiling hot water. The first use belongs, as a m atter of honor, to the most distinguished guest, though he is bound to protest that someone else should precede him. And then the whole household use tho bath in turn. Next m o rning there are again tho fish, the rice, und the queer vegetables. No coffee^- no bread, plenty of tea, no milk. — H ome Queen. Character in the Nose.

TOrNOKST SENATORIAL DAME. Tho youngest wife in tho Senatorial circle at W ashington this w inter is Mrs. Luoy Day M artin, wife of the Senator from Virginia. She is a pretty woman, and a brilliant one as well. Mrs. Elkins, of West Virginia, •wife of another of the new Senators, is a beauty, and is very fond of society, PRACTICAL CLUB WORK. A number of young girls of Cleve land compose what is called “ Tho Rainbow Ciub.\ This club is e n tire ly given to good works, among them a noonday lunoheon for working girls, served in ploasant rooms and at easy rates. The members of the club take turns in serving this lunoheon. An other benevolence of these youg girls is tho maintaining of Rainbow Cot tage, a homo for sick children.—New York Telegram. VEILS THAT FIT. A veil that will fit has been devised by an Eugliah manufacturer. The ma terial used has thick threads aloug the edges and through the centre. Parallel with these, other threads aro drawn loosely through tho interstiocs of the fabric. To make veils, the fabric is divided longitudinally along the thiok threads and each half cut into lengths. The di awing up of tho loose threads makes the veil fit closely to the wearer’s head.—New York J o u r nal. NEW GLOVE MATERIALS. Glovers introduce a now aud sub stantial article for woman’s wear. It is fashioned just like the heavy dog skin gloves men wear iu cold weather, even to the clasp. The latter innova tion will charm tho new womau, as it relieves her of the tedious task of sew- iug ou buttous. The dogskin gloves are shown in tan and red. There has been for some tiaio a tendency towards wearing extra largo kid gloves, both in tbe glace and kid qualities, but dogskin is bulky and m aterially in creases the appareut size of the hand. —New York World.

A | woman is quick to see tho undesirable in location und inconvenience in ar rangem e n t—in short, she shows what another womau would like, aud many who dread the exhaustion and low spirits that attend a proposed m igra tion would be heartily glad of her ser vices. A fee from those who r e n t and a percentage from the real estate man would be tho revenue of the business. —New York Post. ONE WOMAN’S INVENTIONS. Twenty-seven useful household a r ticles have been iu vented iu the past few years by a clever Sau Frauoiscu woman, Mrs. Thomas D. Calkins. W hen brought to despair by the un satisfactory charactor of tho oldtimo utensils. Mrs. Calkins bethought her self to remedy the defects of the as sisting kitchen apparatus. As a result she now exhibits a baking pan with adjustable partitions, which bakes loaves of bread uniform in size and completely crusted over. Tho par titions removed, the pan is ready for roasting meats. A pitiless clothes-raok, made of adjustable wires attached to a wooden frame ; a self-adjusting towol- riug and other labor-saving arrange m ents aro exhibited by Mrs. Calkins in her lectures on housekeeping. PAPER LAMP SHADES. If you know just how to go to work, a paper lamp sbnb'e is most easiiy j made. The crimped paper comes in ' circular lengths expressly adapted to ' this use. Choose three well assorted | tints harmonizing with y o u r ’ furnish- , ings ; place the lamp before you on a table, with its wire frame on, and slip j the paper over, drawing it together at | the top aud leaving a good heading. Tie it loosely around the wire with a htring, in order to regulate the fulness ; before you tighten it. Pnt over the j other two papers in the same wav and j then draw or bend the lowest paper ! under about two inches above the edge, | pulling it out slightly ; form the next I into waves above, so that it will form vaudykes all around.

FASHION NOTE*?. The ovorfckirt is slowly making its way into the ranks of fashion. Color curds ►ent out from Paris, Lyons ami St. Etienuo place yellow shades first ou the list. Tho latest bolt is of narrow gold or silver braid, with small buckle to match. They are only becoming to slender figures. Stylish soldier blue cloth gowas have a Persian figured silk waist, lin ings and petticoat of turquois blue taffeta cross barred with green. tSatin fiuish silken weaves will crowd the markets. They aro much loss ex pensive than tho regular satiu, and keep their colors and wear well. A dressmaker of New York had six yards of lace stolen from her the other day. It was once the property of tho Empress Eugenie, aud was valued at $800. Mohair will steal in with a rush, and H e n riettas will havo their littlo day again, too. There will be spring bouclep, with ever such u light showing of the curl, but it will be after the initial style. An odd but stylish vest lor a blue or black jacket suit is made of a silk baudanna handkerchief, accordion pleated. Tho red ground with eoru palms gives tho desired oriental touch io an otherwise prosaic costume. Millinery grows moro and moro im portant, and more aud moro becom ing. Feathers and ospreys stand up boldly; jewels are uuivorsally used. Chenille is a coveted adjunct in m il linery, aud silk beaver hats are again worn. There is nothing prettier for drossy wear thau skirts with silk ruohings at the hem. These aro not specially ex pensive, aud may be renewed nt pleas ure. It is tho mark of a true goutle- woman never under any circumstances to wear anything th a t suggests untidi ness. The separate waist still engages the a ttention of designers. Gne of the latest models shows a collar, very deep yoke, Eton jacket front and cuffs to the elbows of elaborate embroidery. Ribbon bows are dotted here and there at every point where a bow seems possible. For women, silver trappings extend to infinity. Gne of the newest things, perhaps, is the tiny silver shoestring clasp. It in exactly like tho plebiau blackened tin thing that costs a nickel a pair, but it is finest filigree aud scroll work desigu, and has a place on the under side for your name. The fancy of adorum g the neck and shoulders with all sorts and conditions of fraises, ruches, collarettes, yokes and historically named contrivances of lace, moiisseliuo de soie, fur, velvet and gimp has developed possibilities never dreamed of when tho modest little folded ueckbaud first made its appearance Crape-surfaced goods aro much liked, although not iu the extreme of fashion as they have been before. A dress of pearl-gray crape has a collar, square-cut yoke and cuffs of rose- colored velvet. The velvet is covored with plaitings of cream white lace; a belt and largo knot of velvet complete tho trimming. The Kick of a Thirteen-Inch Gun. Some time ago tbe English Govern ment experimented with a thirteen- mch gun on a ship oMh** Royal Sov ereign class. At th«* first firing of the gun the entire upper deck was lifted from its position and *]*rtiug along its entire centre, so terrible was the shock. The United States battleship Iudinua ha- been specially equipped to provide again*t anv such disaster and her decks have been constructed in inch a manner that naval experts agree that no such damage can befall her when the th i r t e e n - i n c h guns semi out their riammg m stage. Naval experts are agreed, however, that when she is in action and the four thirteen-inch guns are performing their deadly work the explosions will shatter sn I destroy every piece of woodwork and glas> in every portion of the voael. That is expected nnd prepared for and for that reason the battleship ladiaua :s co’uj ooed almost entirely of iron and steel. She has been aptly described a« an enormous floating ►teel fort with a ship buiit around it for purposes of navigation.
