TKE CONDONED OUBAJJ.
It wns « fearful night ou the coast of
Cuba, for a torniulo had swept along the
sea and shore with relentless fury, leav-1
ing death and destruction in its merciless
path.
And yet, though sheltered by tlie for-
est-clou point of land jutting ont from
tlie main,    small  vessel  wus  getting I
ready to leave the quiet inland waters !
nnd put to sea.
The cause of thus daring death by the
commander of thia littlo vessel was be- j
cuuse at the peak the lone starilag of the
largo steamer and war  vessel, whosa
light sails would not work her ofl shore.
" Ho, tlie Alanianda t"
" Ay, ay, are you a pilot ? " came the.
answer from the vessol of war.
" Yes ; I will run under your lee and
come on board."
"AU right, for our machinery has
broken down, wo have lost our anchors,
and nro drifting rapidly," said an oflicer,
in earnest tones.
" I know that voice j it is Oapt. Vero-
na himself, Now good-by, Captain,
and if harm befall Enrique Delmonte tell
my friends how 1 died; and the young
Citban grasped tho American's hand, and
stood ready to seize the ropes ready to
be thrown to him.
Though plunging fearfully the American held the yacht firmly in hamj, and
ran clos&iu under tliS stern of £b%
steamer, from which wgea Waysj>lJ5JJfqta-

Onbau, who, with a good-by on lus lips
to his shipmates, clambered over tlie
sides of the Spanish vessel, while the
yacht bounded away from tlio enemy
those on board had so much cause to
dread, and started on her return voyage
to tho United States.
Upon ronching tho deck Buritpie Del-
monte found liimself in tlie presence of
a score of officers, whilo a crowd of seamen stood not far away, gazing upon the
during pilot that had come out to their
aid; but, with his  collar muffling his
faee, his hat drawn down over liia oyes, ]
he was not recognized, though he looked |
upon more than a dozen men who had ;
long been his comrades in tho navy of j
Spain. ';
"Are you a Cuban pilot?" asked
Capt. Verona, a haughty, stern-faced
man of 45.
"I am a Cuban, and have come to
keep you off yonder rocks,"  was the '
apiiot reply, while he pointed shoreward j
to tho line of breakers.
" Onr rig is too light for us to work j
off shore, and our machinery is broken j
down and auohois gone, do, if jou can
not save us, wo ore doomed," said the ;
.Spaniard. [
"I know that welt, Senor, and I will , «    — —

the tall form of "the Cuban, as with a
nod of farewell he sprung over the side
of the ship upon the fohago-clad rocks,
and disappeared from viow—his life
saved by Uio woman he loved, and who
idolteod him.
"Waiting until her lover hod time to
reach tho forest, Consuelo Verona entered the cabin whero her father sat
writing letters, and, looking np, ho said:
"Why, daughter, I thought you had

" Ko, father, I remained up to prevenf

" What mean yon, child ? "
" Simply, that had Enriquo Delmonte
died at your hands, after liis noblo
conduct to-night in saving his foes, it
would havo been a foul blot upon your
honor!"
"But he ia condemned to die, and—"
"And I set him free."

jpajninenean Captain offered no ar-
^rtfient   further,  and the anchor was
raised, tlie sails, reefed down, were set,
and the little yacht sped like a huge,
white bird away from its safe nest to
battle with the wQd. -waters and winds!
beyond.
.   It took the united strength, of the
Captain and Enrique Delmonte,  who
acted as pilot to hold tho yacht on her
course, for the ,seas washed over her
decks in torreits, and sho staggered
fearfully beneath the rude shocks of
the waves.
At length tho channel was safely
passed through, and the open waters
reached, when, not half a mile away,
came the vivid red flash of a gun, and
the deep boom rolled across the waters.
"It is a large vessel, and evidently a
steamer, from tho light rig the gun's
flash showed," said the Captain.
"I know that vessel well, Captain;
for three years of my service in the Spanish navy was passed on her deck, and I
would rather lose my life than Seo her
go down."
Enrique Delmonte spoko with great
earnestness, and the American felt that
ho had some deep cause for wishing to
save the vessel. He knew that his fathor
Mas a Spaniard and his mother a Cuban,
and that he had been reareiUn the navy
of Spain, wliich he had left to serve his
native land.
.Shaping their course so as to head the
drifting vessel off, a lantern was shown
to tell of coming succor, and the oheer
Uiat broke from the crew at sight of it
wus heard on hoard the yacht,
" Delmonte, again I must remind yon
of the risk yon mn," soidthe Captain.
"I know all, and I will talco my
chances; as soon as I board the Alamanda you had better stand seaward, so
as uot to be in this neighborhood at day-,
light." M
" And yon, Delmonto ?"
"Oh JI will ran the vessel into the
harbor we left, and then go ashore ond
hasten on after Byan, for I can overtake
him, and when jou again come to the
islnnd I will join yon unless I can do
ta«re good ashore j but here we are, and
I will hail."
In a ringing voice, and ia Spanish,
Sarique Delmonte hailed tUe large voa-
gal, wWoli was noiy plainly seen » fe§ a

so vile, Senor?" asked the Cuban, indignantly.
" My dnty, sir, compels me, Senor,
put this man in irons.
A defiant smile crossed the handsome
faco of Enrique Delmonte as tho officer
approached and irohed his wrists; bnt
he maas* »o resistance, and was led,
away between a&oka ana,. »!aced in ft
state-lroojij a guard being stationed &f
his door.
Throwing himself down upon a, seat,
he murmured:
"Ah 1 Senor Verona, I know well your
hatred toward mo; it is becauso your
daughter was my promised wife, and
you would rather have me dio than see
her one day many* a Cuban who was the
enemy of Spain."
Tho door softly opened, and, looking
up, by the dim light from the ward-room
lamp Enrique Delmonte saw a slendor
form before him—a maiden with a face
of exquisite beauty.
"Enrique!"
"Consuelo!"
It was all tliey said, and, springing
forward, she threw her armB around his
neck,
"Ob, Enrique, I know all, and how
cruel has been my father!" she said,
after a while.
"Ho says he does his duty, Consuelo."
"Bah ! he panders to his hate. I

OysTEn Toast.—This is a nice little j
dish for a luncheon or for a late supper. !
.Scald a quart of oysters in their own
liquor; take thom out and jiound them in
a mortar^when they form a paste; add
a little rich cream aud some pepper.
Get ready some thin, nent pieces of toast,
moistened slightly with boiling water,
and spread with fresh butter. Spread
the oyster paste thickly upon the toast,
put a thinly-cut round of lemon upon
each piece, and arrange them on a
platter garnished with parsley, Servo
very hot.
An inexpensive but appetizing pickle
is made as follows: Shoe ono peck of
green tomatoes and nine largo onions;
scatter ono teacupful of salt over tliem;
cover with water and let them stand all
istaUt; in the morning drain and boil in
weak vinegar Then tako four quarts of
vinegar ol eeoHtitroiiefii,ji^a-po\ma^ of
brown sugar, two ouueies ot -white »«s*
tard seed, two teble-spoonfnla eaeh ot
grouud allspice, cloves,  cinnamon iind
gnger, half a teaspoonful of red pepper,
off all together for half an hour. The
tomatoes, if a little too near ripe, will
not need boiling quite so long.
Dkmciocs Pickled Otsmna.—Wash
them and hang them over the firo, with
barely sufficient wator to cover them:
very little is necessary if there is an
abundance of the liquor. To one hundred oysters add a smaE handful of salt;
let them come to a scold to swell thom;
watch for this and remove immediately
with a skimmer, carefully laying them
on dishes to cool; add one-third part vinegar (having previously strained the
liquor) with wholo white pepper-corns,
allspice and blade maco to the taste;
let all boil up together and pour over
tho oysters in stone jars. Beady for use
in from twenty-four to forty-eight hours,
'! he oysters should be very fresh and
largo,
ever since the original timber was cutoff.
The clover each alternate year has been
plowed under, and nothing but gypsum, at the rate of 100 pounds per acre
per year, has ever been applied. This
land is still in good condition, not quite
equal to the field near the barnyard, and
which havo had less clover liut more
manure, bnt tolerably sure for twenty
to twenty-ilvo bushels of wheat per acre,
Tho lack in such land is more apt to be
phosphate of lime, and a dressing of super-phosphate applied with the wheat at
seeding will cheaply and surely romedy
this. By combining winter stock feediug
with occasional plowing under of green
clover for manure I do not doubt that
tbe fertility of large farms may as surely
lie kopt up as if tho farms were smaller.
In any event where clover is grown there
must always be tha roots in the soil to
decay and this will prevent vory rapid
deterioration of fertility. So muoh nl-.

that he had worked on a farm, carried a

other striking resemblances ^between
human organs and certain vegetable
forms. The forms of many mechanical
contrivances in common use may be
traced back to tlie patterns furnished by
nature. Thus, the hog suggested the

will find the resemblances in nature an

Picture 1'Tnmes.
Yery serviceable and pretty picture
frames can be made out of pasteboard.
Por cabinet photographs, cut four strips,
two six inches and two eight inches
long. Lap them across the corners, in
tho same way as the rustic frames are
joined, and punch a hole through the
two pieces so that yon can fasten thom
with a button. You cau find four of a
kind handsome enough in Uio button-
box on the shelf. Cut steel ore tho best,
but any kind will do. Strips of paper
on the baok will hold the picture in its
place.
These frames are pretty, made of
blnck card-hoard or covered irith block
silk. Little gilt stars, or strips of gilt
paper down the center, have a pleasant
effect on the blaek. You ean cut little
pieces of paper to represent gilt buttons
ifyou do not happen to have any in the
house. If you can, embroider a narrow
vino on strips, with a cluster of leaves or
flowers at the corners. Almost any combination of materials and styles is effective for these frames, and they aro an
agree able change from the perforated
card so long used. Glove and handkerchief boxes, and, in fact, boxes of anj
kind, all lie in this line of manufactura

Improved Mortar for l'lastorlnp.
A new method of making _ mortar for
plastering walls has been devised, whioh
U oonfidenUy said by thoso who are informed aa to it to be superior to any
other ever yet tried. Stucco or plaster-
of-pttris is used instead of lime in making the mortar, one part of stucco, by
measure, being used to two parte of Sand.
No hair is used for the first or 'scratch*
coat, and three Coats of plastering are
put on. In mixing the stucco and sand
s quart of glue water is used to the pailful of «uitl and stucco mixed, and then
clean water is added until the mortar is
ofthe right consistency. The niortoi!
mast ba used as soon as made, smtl ouly
made in small quantities at a time, It is
claimed that it will make a harder, more
perfect wtill, c&n bo used to better ad-
VAtitfige, snd is little if ftuy more expert
