She sought the landlord to pay her bill, and found that it was already paid, and that her recreant husband had smoothed over matters in one direction forher by telling the landlord that he was called away On urgent business, and thst his wife was to take the tin-cart vet morniug, and meet him at a certain point
Soshe drove away on her tin-cart in slitarystate without exciting any of the woniering comments which would have beer agony to her.
When she gathered up the lines and

She did not take the road to Derby; she fad made up her mind about that as she sat on the edge of the bed after wading the letter. She drove straight aiong the originally prescribed route, sopping at the farm-houses, taking rags and selling tin, just as she had seen her husband do. There were much astonish- ment and many curious questions among her cutomers. A woman running a ftin- tart Was an unprecedented spectacle, but the explained matters, with meek dig- nity, to all who questioned her. Her husband had gone away, and she was W attend to his customer until he should Mturn. She could not always quite allay te suspicion that there must needs be tmething wrong, but she managed the Wading satisfactorily, and gave good

She started violently at that. There Was one thing which had been said to her in Derby and the memory of it had been a repressed terror ever since.
“Yes; they said how you'd run

**I didn't believe it.’’
**I did Sally.’
‘*Well you’ve come back,”’
‘*Afore I merried you I'd been merried | afore. By all that’s good an’ great, little un, I thought my wife was dead. Her folks said she was.

Sally’s head was resting peaccfully on Jake’s shoulder; golden flecks of light sifted down on them throught the rust- ling maple and locust bough; the horse with bent head was crcépping the tender young grass at the side of the road.

.~«< MAKING GOLO,
Follow the Indian Alchemists’ Methods and, Presto! Yeu Are Rich,
Fora long time in India the appar- ent transmutation of tin, zine, copper and mercury into precious metals has been practiced. We have seen there With our own eyes a metal like gold is- Buing from the crvcible of the Indian alchemists—a metal that could not be told from real go!d by means of the touchstone. We may say, however, that in old India, as well as in young Amer- jea, they have not yet succeeded in giv- ing to to metal thus obtained the chem- tal ttiies of gold. On this point are mn advanced in the one ry than in the other, and the prob-
13 to us not to be near solution. 1@ metal obtained can, in fact, be de- composed into its constituent elements. iy be interesting to iotice the Indian al-
t ‘ribe their methods. Around these personages many legends have sprung up. ‘the people assert that they never come into a city except by divine inspiration in order to erre ill- ness and to persons There is a belicf among the Hindoes very Widespread, but parely fabulous, that they disappear at certain hours to rejoin the cittars—divine naturalists of the early ages of India, who, accord- ing to Hindoo tradition, meet with their divinity, Hari Ishari, on the sum- mits of the Himalayas, to learn the se- creta of nature.
The following is the methed employ- ed by these Indian alchemists to make their gold. We give literally, conform- ing to the weights and measures in use in India, the list of substances necessary for this delicate operation. These are, according to our documents:
Sulphur of Nelli-Kai (Phylanthns lemblica), 24 rupees weight (7 ounces).
White seeds of Abra precatorius, 9 ru- pees weight (244 ounces).
One whole garlic.
Cinnabar, 6 rapees weight (2 ounces).
English orpiment, 6 rupees weight.
Sal ammoniac, 6 rupees weight.
These are powdered separately, and then a paste is made of the whole, with three quarts of ‘‘pacdy’’ made of the milky juice of Asclepias gigantea. The whole is ground up with this milk. Then little hard balls are made of the mixture, and finally two sattis are taken of fine, hard earthenware, of such size that the material to be distilled occu- pies only one-third or one-fourth of the vessel. On the lower vessel another sat- ti is soldered with potter’s earth, after an opening has been made in the end of this second vase. Over this hole is fit- ted a bottle whose end is pierced, and it is carefully sealed to the vase. Into the lower vase are put the little balls described above, and the whole is then sealed up.
The powder, when vaporized, rises along the sides of the bottle and con- denses around the hole. It is collected with a feather. Then zinc is taken. For each zupee’s weight of zinc is allowed a quantity of the powder as large as two or three rice grains. The zinc and the powcer are wrapped up together in a bit of paper or linen ora leaf. The whole is put into a crucible, which is then sealed with a paste composed of one part ef cow dung, one of charcoal and one of potter’s earth. This is placed on a fire of wood charcoal and heated white hot, after which itis al- lowed to cool. Open the crucible—you are @ rich man.—Paris Cosmos.

Gaffing an Irish Salmon.
Mickle, gaff in hand, was hopping around behind me, more like a wild In- dian with a tomahawk than an experi- enced Jrich water bailiff about to im- pale @ Sain.ca. bport, too, joined in the infectious excitement and jumped at my fect and barked at every splash that the big fish made. Down along the riv- er bank the cute old bailiff glided and crept out behind a projecting rock. Once I almost coaxed him within strik- ing distance of the one eyed gaffer, but Mickle prided himself on his skill and feared to run the risk of missing his stroke. Off again dashed the fish across the pool, as if warned by instinct of the unseen danger, and it was fully ten minutes ere J had him played back to the proper point.
Then, like a lightning flash, the cold impaled him, and the great, quiv- bor triumphantly lifted on >the exultant bailiff, show- us beautiful as was ever land- ed. ‘he sheen of his scales and the sruzli sea lice still clinging to him ehowed that he had only just come up from the salt water.

thinese Sweets.
The Chinese are said to posseas se- crets in the preparation of sweets that astonish our most accomplished confec- tioners. They know hcsy to remove the pulp from oranges and substitute vari- ous jellies. The closest examination fails to reveal any opening or incision in the skin of the fruit. They perform the same feat with eggs. The shells are apparently as intact as when the eggs were newly laid, but upon breaking and cpening them the contents consist of buts and sweetmeats.—New York Sun.
