Spring has come
There is not one person who 13 not
thinking of purchasing a Spring Suit
or changing his garments ; but the main
question at issue is where to buy, or
where to go. This question can easily be
answered after having once patronized
me, because the prices you pay are far
below many others, while no goods are
misrepresented. Honest and fair
dealing and low prices is my way of
doing business.

of suitings as has ever been in this town,
at prices that prove for themselves to
" be the right thing.

IT "WAS a very small bouse in the
heart of a crowded city, and yet,
small as it was, three families made
a home thtre. The first floor, and the
one that brought the most rent, was
occupied by James Saunders, * retired
sea captain, who was supposed to
possess a gold mine, at the very least,
and who had undoubtedly "feathered
his nest" well i i many years of pros-perous
voyaging.
The basement floor was distinguish-ed
by a sign over the door, and a s op
window, wherein were displayed' the
wares of a grocer — George Davis—on
a very small scale; a grocer who
bought by the basket and box, and
sold by the half peck and pound.
Upstairs—there was only one story
above the first floor—Nanette lived
with her mother, Madame Hillien.
Nanette had been ten years in Ameri-ca,
and was employed by a milliner,
who made good use of Nanette's
nationality when her customers sus-pected
her of being anything but a
French milliner. Madame Hillien
was yellow and wrinkled and wore an
old sacque of dingy colors over a black
silk petticoat, and a cap of elaborate
construction over very rough, gray
hair. Nanette was a clear brunette,,
with eyes black as sloes, and soft as
velvet, cheeks like the heart of a crim-son
rose, teeth like pearls, and the
triggest little figure ever balanced on
two pretty feet. With scant means
and her French tastes, Nanette was al-ways
well dressed. Her print gowns
fitted her to nicety, her hair glossy
and abundant, was always arranged
becomingly, and there was never any-thing
tumbled or soiled to mar Nanet-te's
toilets.
Two men, at least, adored Nanette ;
George Davis in heart-sick sileuce;
Captain Saunders with the audacity of
wealth and position.
Captain Saunders sent always to
Madame Hillen such preserves and
fruits as opened wide the eyes of the
favored few invited to partake of ihem.
He had always a friend in port, just
arrived from Italy, from Cuba, from
Liverpool, from China, from any point
where the long arm of commerce push-es
her vessels; and these friends would
always have foreign dainties to tempt
the purse of the generous Captain. It.
was whispered that fabrics only suited
for feminine wear, jewels, fans, trink-ets
also came to the Captain's room,
but ot these he said nothing. Boxes of
oranges, jars of ginger, boxes of maca-roni,
tempting morsels, from all lands,
were carried up the flight of stairs to
Madame Hillien, but of India muslins,
Canton Crapes, Pongee silks, rings
and bracelets the Calptain said never a
word.
Still the face of George Davis grew
longer and paler* day by day, as the
sight of his rival's prosperity was
forced upon him. It was true that
Nanette loyally purchased every pound
of tea and peck of potatoes at the
grocery in the basement and presented
her cash with the smile of an angel.
True, too, that she never passed the
grocer without a smile and sometimes
a little blush.
For the grocer was only three-and-twenty,
with a blonde beard and eyes
as blue as a patch of summer sky,
while the Captain was nearly sixty,
with grizzled red hair, a skin like ma-hogany,
and eyes of no especial tint,
unless it was sea-green. But the Cap-tain
had a long bank account, and
could woo gallantly and loudly, while
the grocer only spoke with his eyes,
and wondered vaguely how long two
could live of profits that were half
starvation for one.
" She is so pretty !" the poor young
fellow thought, with a sigh; " no won-der
she likes to ride with the Captain
in the park, while I am tied to the
counter and cannot even afford to hire
a boy to roll in the barrels. I could
not send a basket home if a customer
asked it."
But fortunately the customers were
of that class that never trust a market-basket
out of their own hands. Still
as they were very exacting as to the
largest measure for the lowest price,
that balanced the matter.
It was not a very flourishing grocery
store for the goods were of the cheap
est description, and the profits were
very small; and often when the stock
had to be replenished, George Davis
wore patched shoes and the shabbiest
of clothes.
" It would delight my heart," Nan-ette
said once to her mother, " if I
could once get my two hands in the
linen closet of Monsieur Davis and re-pair
his collars and cuffs. They are
frayed. " Oh ¡"—with uplifted hands
—" how they are shabby!"
"You had better look at something
else than the cuffs of Monsieur Davis,"
said Madame Hillien, severely. " In
my country maidens do not look at
young men."
" But, mamma, when I must look at
him every day how can I but see him?
Do I not buy of him sugar and tea and
all that we have to eat?"
" If you were wise you would not be
compelled to buy food in a little store
like that. Listen : Monsieur the Cap
tain has told me that if he marries he
will buy the whole house. Ah, think
of a whole house !"
" But we are comfortable in these
rooms."
" Bah ! We liye ! But comfortable ?
You have no sense, Nanette ! Twice
already has the Captain spoken to me
You will lose him."
" Let him go ! I have my work and
we have five hundred dollars in bank.
Why should I marry an old horror
like that?"
" He is not horrible."
" No, you are right. He is kind and
good, and I am sorry he will love me
when I cannot love him."
" But, why ?"
" Ah, why ?" said Nanette, shrug-ging
her pretty shoulders. But she ran
away then and began to concoct a mar-velous
omelet for supper, singing in a
loud, clear voice, so that her mother
could not make her hear from where
she sat in an inner room. Why ?
Neyer a word of love had the young
grocer spoken, though his honest eyes
told his adoration ; but Nanette knew
that she always had the choice of the
market set aside for her, and there was
always a- little overweight of all the
choicest things in her basket.
But the attentions of the Captain
soon became a burden ; not because of
his persécutions, but because Madame
Hillien became fretful and exacting on
the subject. It was all frfolishness on
Nanette's part, and no modest giil re-fused
the husband her mother offered
her, she said.
But Nanette had been too long in
America, though she was but twenty-two,
to give up her freedom of choice
for any old French custom.
" Here girls choose their own hus-bands,"
she said.
And Madame Hillien screamed :
"You would offer yourself to him ?"
"Not so bad as that, Mamma, though
this is leap year," said Nanette, for
1892 was but a week old.
" Leap-year ! Ab, you are a bold
girl!"
But Nanette was not bold, and her
tender heart was sore over her lover's
silence. He was her lover; of that she
was sure ; but he was poor, so very
poor, and needs a wife to help him grow
rich. How she could help him ! How
she would save in house keeping, and
make his clothes last twice as long, aud
tidy up the rooms the open door show-ed
to be so forlorn. Slie was a true
woman, this little Nanette, longing to
give loyal service where she gave loyal
love. But he would not speak.
" It is already two years we have
been in the house," Nanette thought,
" and I know he loves me."
Something wonderful happened just
at this time. There was an old uncle in
France, a close-fisted miser, who had
refused often and often to help his
widowed sister by so much as a pinch
of salt, and he died, leaying to Nanette
a sum that made ten thousand Ameri-can
dollars.
It fairly stunned the little milliner.
To be so rich as that, when—and here
a choking sob came in her throat—
when the man she loved had not a
good coat to his back, though he work-ed
faithfully to earn one. Nanette
grieved over her access of fortune as
much as she rejoiced. She shrewdly
suspected the cause of George's silence
and knew that this legacy would be
another bar between them. Already
her mother was talking of moving into
a better neighborhood and more com*
modious apartments.
The Captain had offered his congrat-ulations
rather ruefully, appreciating
the weight of this new phase of affairs.
" I was sure of the mother," he
thought, "but now I am not so sure."
It was dusk when he rattled the key
in his own door, and did not see a tall
figure near him, until a familiar voice
in the darkness, said :
May I leave the keys of the base-ment,
with you, Captain ?"
"Hey, what ? You are going away?"
"Yes, I am going away,'' said George
Davis, very sadly. "I hope you will
be very happy."
" Oh, you do ? Pray what is there
to make me especially happy, just
now ?"
Then George flashed out :
" If such a woman as Nanette were
going to marry me, I should not ask
that question," and something suspi-ciously
like a sob ended the sentence.
" Who told you I was going to mar
ry Nanette?"
" Madame Hillien."
" Then she told a—ahem !—she
made a serious mistake. Nanette has
refused me-distinctly on separate oc-casions.
So the way is open to you."
"Ah, no ! I am so poor, so yery poor,
you see. I have no capital to start
anything, and I can only scratch out
the barest living. And now this money
has come. No! I will go away ! You
see I love her so much, I cannot stay
any longer. My heart is breaking."
Odd confidences! Well, yes; but I
think it must have been the dark that
opened their hearts to each other.
They were such honest, childlike
hearts, both of them, to belong to
great, bearded men.
I am quite sure the dark was unan
swerable for what followed. George
was standing leaning against the
banister when he said:
Suddenly there was a little soft rus-tle
about h i e ; then he felt two arms
steal round his neck, a soft cheek
touch his, and into his ear stole a
whisper :
Don't go away or you will break
my heart, too!"
The Captain's door opened with a
jerk and shut with a bang, but I do
not think those two at the foot of the
staircase heard. What did they say !
Ah, who can repeat the rapturous
speeches of one; the shy whispers of
the other.
But one thing Nanette said at last;
as they went arm in arm upstairs to
confront Madame Hillien
" You will not tell anybody, will
you, George, that I proposed to you
though it is leap year?"
" Never," was the emphatic reply.
Madame Hillien cried and laughed
and was none to well pleased, but,
after all she loved Nanette, and so she
gave George her hand at last, and a
motherly greeting.
But the strangest part of all is yet
to come, for the Captain made Nanette
a wedding present of all the finery he
had purchased especially for her, and
then offered his hand and heart to
Madame Hillien. He bought the
whole house too, and a brand new gro-cery
store was started next door with
a portion of Nanette's money. The
neighbors " always knew " it was the
widow the Captain was courting and
it would be difficult to say which
household is the Lappier, that of jolly
Captain Saunders and his wife, or that
of honest George Davis, grocer, and
pretty Nanette.

One ot the pleasantest things about
Easter is the custom of giving souve-nirs
of the day to friends. The pre-sentation
of eggs is a ceremony which
is sai 1 to be traced to the theology and
philosophy of the Persians, Egyptians,
Gauls, Greeks, Romans and other
ancient nations, among all of whom an
egg was an emblem of the uniyerse,
the work of the Supreme Divinity.
All sorts of devices suitable for
Easter gifts are for sale each year, and
most of them have for the keynote to
their design the egg. Easter cards
and booklets with Easter poems and
quotations are numerous.

A New Coal Theory.
" Black Diamond " advances a new
theory as to the formation of anthra-ciLe
coal deposits, which should be
read to be appreciated. We reproduce
the article entire:
" The various theories with which
the literature of science has been en-riched
pertaining to the origin and
source of formation of coal deposits are
constantly being increased. At one
time the idea was universally adhered
to that coal beds were simply the re-mains
of vast forests, which had been
covered with alluvium by some sub-sidence
of the earth's crust. Thus shut
out from air the wood and leaves de-composed
and formed themselves into
vast masses of coal. The constant dis-covery
of all- kinds of flora in these
deposits emphasized this theory, which
has universal credence at the present
day. Another idea was that coal was
once a substance of plastic character,
like clay, and its contiguity to that
article in the earth lends color to the
assumption. It was adduced as a
strong argument in this respect that
the character of the coal varied with
the nature of the strata underlying it
that the coal beds which lie upon hard
rocks are often soft, while those under-lying
soft porous stone or clay have
been filtered, the liquid constituents of
the mixture, such as petroleum,
bitumen, and so on, soaking down until
they strike the oil shoals, leaying an-thracite
above. Now comes a seeker
after truth wiih a theory which is the
offspring of the one that coal beds once
formed the bottom of lakes. He holds
that it is hardly conceivable that wood,
especially through the loss of its
hydrogen, should ever become con-verted
into a substance plastic enough
to flow into a river, taking impression
of objects along its banks; but that it
is neither unreasonable nor difficult to
conceive that, instead of this, the stag-nant
lakes of the coal districts were
years ago when the temperature of the
earth was much higher and vegetation
was much more luxuriant than now,
literally filled with plants and spawn
of aquatic orgin, and that these dying
and decaying, settled to the bottom,
and formed a layer of carboniferous
mud of considerable depth. This in
coarse of time gradually underwent
transformation until it assumed the
natural coal."
A V e n t r i l o q u i s t ' s T h r o a t.
Professor R. H. Mohr, the ventrilo-quist,
went through a strange experi-ence
the other day. In one of the
laboratories of the Haryard Medical
School he submitted to an examina-tion
of his throat and chest by a num-ber
of physiological experts, to deter-mine
what special formations gave him
his peculiar powers.
The experts are uncommunicative,
concerning the results of the examina-tion,
and the professor, who is not a
physiologist at all, did not learn much
about himself.
iThey put mirrors down my throat,"
he said. " They led me by narrow
passages into a dark chamber, and
hat they did there I don't know.
After it was all over they told me that
my larnyx was flatter than that of
other men and shaped something like
a woman's, and also that one of the
stops in my throat was drawn down-ward
instead of upward by the con-necting
muscles.
'I can't make much out of that ex-planation,
but I can make a living out
of my peculiar throat just the same."
Then the professor threw his voice
under the table and laughed hoarsely.
