Wonderful stories are told Qf his almost human, sagacity in getting clear of danger in the past. Even on the occasion of his fatal hurt, it-is said that he made frantic efforts to get clear of the approaching runaway trip, but the place was too narrow, and he had to fall back and take his quietus with his mule companions.

"The afternoon! Probably four good hours hence. Absurd!" I cried hotly, ''when every moment is precious. 'Why, ���������this pirate yacht has already 'had 24 hours' start. Oh, ,cqme, , Sir -Charles!

Sharp's the word, you understand? Who is going in her? You ���������should have some police officers, in ���������case there is any arrest to be made. Perhaps you will see to that. Sir "Charles?" , **I should like to go in her," I now -said. "My dear child," protested Sir 'Charles, "that is pure nonsense. Ia ���������-the first place. I think it is highly im- rprobable that she will catch up the .-yacht. But if she does there will be '-some rough and tumble work���������fighting 'perhaps. Those villains, after going such lengths, will not be very willing tp give up their prize. It would never ' do for you. Miss Fairholme." "I cannot bear to remain inactive.

At this, moment the.first clerk came -In with a, slip of paper in his hand. **' "A.small.steam yacht, flying no col- 'iirs.'' he read aloud, "was reported passing* the North Foreland about S p. iu. '���������last night, and a steamer, the same no ���������.-'unbt. was seen from Ilcachy Plead at 5 a. m.,' Her course ap- ,-suVV Mr. Snuyzcr was pleased to express his approval when he heard what I had done. wishing to "come up with that yacht and detain her for search. Ou the whole, I think that' this is the most prompt and sensible course. You would hardly get a .steamer off from this or'any other port under,24 hours, and that would be a fatal loss of time." ,''���������', "Caul go in the tug?", 1 still stuck to my point. ��������� "Quite impossible," replied the secretary.' "They have no,.proper accommodation, and you'would have to pass' ue night in utter discomfort ou the open deck." , "I should hot be afraid of that. ,But some one who knows Mr. Wood and everything else must' aecompauy the tug," I argued. "Myo officer, Swete Tbornhill, knows him, doesn't be?" "Yes, "but, not the "others, or the meaning of the whole thing." "Send the Yankee then.- He will b. quite equal to the emergency. Can you get hold of him?" '���������Easily. He is on the telephone. Besides, 1 know his address." ������������������ . Then we left Lloyds; having given carte blanche as regards expenditure, and with full assurance that all proper arrangements would be'made.' , Later Mr. Snuyzer answered my sum-' mons, and was pleased to express his approval when -he heard what I had done. ��������� "1 don't admire another night, out of bed," he said grumblingly, "but it is in a, good cause. There's sense in 'the plan,and it may succeed. The chase was -mere idiocy. You ,could never have caught up the .yacht. Besides, very i can be ,back in'London, on-Saturday at latest, which is most important.", / "Yes?" I asked, rather indifferently. "Yes trulv. Sunday I sail from ���������Southampton by the Great River line's steamer Chattahoochee for New York." "What! Why is this? What reason���������have you found out anything?" "Here is a preliminary list of passengers by the Chatt; lioochee. Run your eye over the names. See? Duke and Duchess of Tierra Sagrada.' "You are indeed wonderful,c Mr. Snuyzer." and in sheer admiration I gave him my hand. "But,that isn't all. Have you gone right down the, list? Well?" My eyes swam, my head turned round. I felt giddy and faint, for there at the end of all. was the name of���������, "Captain William Wood!" ' "I was pretty right, you see, miss. I see all their cards as though they were on the table. The right man held up, the wrong paraded with full papers of Identification to make a clean sweep of all they can acquire. It's time some one should go over. Perhaps it will be Mr. Wood himself. If 1 can pick him out of that hooker and bring him on shore, I shall put it to him that he had better cross the pond right away to protect his own interests. That would be far tbe best. But some oue must go." "Mr.- Knuyzer," I said, with a sudden, irresistible impulse, "if you do not return on Friday night. I will go ov������r to New York." Directly we sat down to lunch I broke it to mother. "I am '.-coing to New York on Sunday." I said very quietly. ' Tlie words had no meaning for her at first. 1 had to. repeat the statement- more than oucei when .'at last it dawned upon, her. , ' "Of course T cannot 20 alone."

On the question discussed at the- public bath, whether -a fgii'l's skins ii she fell overboard would buoy her up or drag her down there seemed to be a diversion of opinion, finally, it was "agreed that they might'buoy her'up-for a few seconds, ��������� until tfte air that was ia them escaped, but as soon ,as they were wet they would tend to drag her down,' aud 'make swimming practically impossible. Oi". course., how soon they got wot would depend-ou the material of which they were made.' Miss Clark, the teacher, pointed out that when a woman dived, into the, water the air under her bathing ikirt formed a big bubble which hampered a swimmer, so that she , reached back, and "pressed it out as. soon as possible.' But this same,1 bubble -would ��������� undoubtedly tend to buoy up a non-swimmer- for an inTin- itesimal space of time.. On tho other hand, , this' air chamber lusted much longer in a wet bathing suit than in a dry one, for in tho former' the pores 01, the material were to a cor tain extent filled with water and the air escaped slowly. Tho suggestion of an undressing drill' seemed to particularly' pleaso Dr. Moshciv-'says' The Brooklyn Eagle.,, Its practical value was evident, as in nine cases out of tea the drowning accidents are tho result of an overturned, boat,' and its occupants are not in'bathing, suits. The children used to swimming .there in the lightest��������� possible 'attire, 'for , except ,'with the. . teachers- the skirted bathing suit is unknown, would ' be hampered almost to rendering their knowledge of swimming useless 'if thoy were called upon to save themselves v.-;Mi their, high, shoes, two or three petticoats on, and in the case of the older girls, long skirts and probably corsets.. It is not that undressing'in the water is particularly hard. IMost of1 those who swim for pleasure have probably-done it, but the youngsters should be tauglit that' they can and that in an emergency they must undress suiliciently ' to be able to put their knowledge of swimming to practical use. Oue or two lessors would be' all that would be 'needed. The matron suggested, and the suggestion was 'a, good and practical one, "At least teach them to pick upa the front, of their skirts and hold them.in- their teeth to keep them out of the way. 1 always do that even with my bathing suit ii I. am swimming any- distance."

H ii, II Al OUTFITS /������������������ 'From The thro 111 the Sun, Orangevillo, Out. Sun is enabled this week, >h the courtesy of Mrs. John A N< 1 believe, there has boon, deposited in the, "London Zoo a specimen of a chimpanzee which is said to" represent a new form, or it may .be a mere variety only, of that-species of manlike ape. It figures under.the scientific name of anthropopithecus troglodytes, is said to have been brought from the Cold Coast; and has been pi es'ented, to the Zoological Society by Cup tain D. A. Donavan, The creature is described as singularly tame and intelligent,, and possibly in it we may find a successor to that highly-educated ape, the late lamented Sally. Unhappily, the manlike apes are.all deiicate of constitution, that is', as represented by a life spent inc captivity, and subject to marked variations of temperature. ��������� Whether this new specimen is to be referred to the ordinary chimpan, e-"-. species or not will, no doubt, ho duly determined by the authoi ities nt the Zoo. The question of specific differences iu tha chimpanzee branch of the 'ape stock is not settled. ITai'tmann remarks that it is a difli- r.ult question to decide, though he, himself, adds'that he is inclined to admit a certain constancy iu the varieties he has examined. The new- ape at the Zoo may possibly turn out to re. resent one of the varieties, it is a notoriously difficult matter to decide where we leave the limits of a mere variety behind and where the boundary line of a new species begins.���������London Chronicle.

The apparent size of a small apartment may be considerably increased by removing the chandelier and introducing side lights.' In a narrow parlor, for example, a six arm chandelier set in its plaster medallion, the arrangement repeated perhaps in a mirror over the mantelpiece, adds very perceptibly to the furnishing of the room. Take it away, make the ceiling plain, and you have gained an effect of space that cannot be realized till the experiment is tried.

Good'Soil Need* Good Seed, s If we wish to attain "������uccess aa farmers, we must first become acquainted with the soil and be particular as to, the kind and quality of seed we intend to sow, says P. J-., McGlynn in Prairie Farmer. A1 large number of farmers spend mucb of their, time and money buying *jid planting poor seed. Many plant poor seed because they are cheap, &ut' which ofttimes prove most expensive- Experience has taught me that 'th������ better the- seed the better the crop. Great care should ,be &<iven to the soil as well as to the seed. tOn������ variety of seed might do- extremely well in a soil, while another of a different nature would be a. complete failure under similar conditions. The cultivation of a crop is only oi ao- condary importance in comparison to either soil or seed. Therefore it should be obvious to 'every, one that , these, two particular points are of paramount importance and arc worthy of much thought from those interested, in agricultural pursuits. It is . essential that every farmer be thoroughly acquainted with the soil, for upon , this knowledge hir. success largely-depends, and I can truthfully say that, if this particular point ia carefully considered a crop could be- easily -expected���������that is, if the season be a favorable one^���������and not regarded as merely a matter of- chanco.- Clieese.

Of course, how soon they got wet would depend on the material of which they were made. Miss Clark, the teacher, pointed out that when a woman .dived into the water the air under her bathing skirt formed a big bubble which hampered a -swimmer,- so that she readied back and pressed it out as soon as possible- But this same bubble' would undoubtedly -tend to buoy up a non-swimmer for an infinitesimal space of time. On the other hand, this air chamber 'lasted much longer in a wot bathing suit than in a dry one, for in the former the pores oi the material were to a certain extent filled with witter and the air escaped slowly. The- suggestion of7 an undressing drill seemed to particularly t please Dr. MoshQr, 1 says The .Brooklyn Eagle: ��� Its practical value was evident, as in nine cases out of ten the drowning accidents are ,the result of an overturned boat, -and its occu-- pants are not in bathing suits. ' The children used to. swimming there in the lightest possible attire, for except 'with theo teachers, the skirted bathing- suit is unknown, would-/' be hampered almost to rendering" their knowledge of swimming useless if thoy were, called upon'to save themselves -.v:*��h .their high, shoes, two or, three, petticoats on, arid, in the case of the. older girls,' long skirts and probably corset's.. It is not that undressing'in the waiter is particularly hard. Most of-, those who swim for pleasure have probably done it, but the youngsters 'should be taught, that' they can ani ,that in an emergency they must undress sudiciently to bo'-able to put their knowledge of swimming to practical use.' One ,or two lessors would,-be all that would be needed. The matron suggested, and the suggestion ' was ' a good - and practical one, ."At least teach them to pick'up the front of their skirts and -'hold them.in their teeth to. keep them out of the way. 1 always do that eyen with" my bathing suit' if 1 am swimming ativ distance."

It-figures under the scientific name, "of anthropopiihecus troglodytes, is'said to have been brought from the Cold Coast, and has 'been presented to the Zoological Society by Civ;>tain D. A. Donavan. ' The creature is described as singularly tame and intelligent, and posi-ibly in it we may find a successor to that highly-educated ape, the late lamented' Sally. Unhappily, the manlike apes are all delicate of constitution, that is, as represented by a life spent in captivity, and subject to marked variations of temperature. "Whether this new specimen is to be referred to the ordinary chimpan. e-v species or not will, no doubt. ho duly determined by the authoi ities at the Zoo. The question of specific differences iu the chimpanzee brunch of the ape stock is not settled. Hart munn remarks that it is a difii- cult question to, decide, though he, himself, adds that he is inclined to admit a certain constancy in the varieties he lias examined. The new ape at the Zoo may possibly turn out to re. rodent one of the varietVes.

There was a yelp, theD silence, and Sylvia, rushing out L from ��������� the house, found the luckless Thomas breathing his last on a heap of uprooted carnations. The news was not lohg in spreading. Tho cook told the postman, and the postman thoughtfully handed it on the servants at -the rest of the bouses on hip round. By noon it was public properly, and in the afternoon, at various times , from 2 to 5, nineteen young men were struck, quite independently of one another, with a brilliant idea. The result of this idea was apparent on the following clay. "Is this all?" asked the colonel of the servant as she brought in. a couple oi letters at breakfast time. . "There's a hamper for' Miss Sylvia, jomed in 'until, tbe whole coachhouse rang with the noise. '��������� The colonel subsided against a wall and began to express himself softly in Hindoostanee. "Poor dears!" said Sylvia.i "Howstuffj they must be feeling." - She ran to the house and returned witfc a basin of water. ��������� "Poor dear!" she said again. "Soon -have something to,drink!" She knelt down by the nearest hampei and cut the cord that fastened it. A pug'jumped out like a jack in the bos and rushed to the water. Sylvia continued her work of mercy, and by thf time the colonel had recovered sufficiently'to be able to express his views in piy.r nsli eighteen more pugs bad .joined tnelt companion. "Get out, you brute!" shouted the colonel as a dog insinuated itself between his legs. "Sylviaj put them back,again this minute! -You had no business'-to let them out.

Each hamper contained a visiting card, and each' card bore the' name of a neighbor. The colonel returned to the breakfast room' and laid his nineteen cards out in a row on the table. "J-I'm!" he said at last. "Mr. Reginald Dallas does not seem,to be represented." , ���������- Sylvia said nothing. '"No"; he seems not to be represented. I did not give him credit for so much sense."

"Old age! Confound your impudence* Dog fancier! No, sir! I have not become a dog fancier in what you are pleased to call 'my old age! But while there is no law to prevent a lot of dashed young puppies like yourself, sir-���������like yourself��������� sending your confounded pug dogs to my daughter, who ought to have known better than to have let- them out of their dashed hampers, I have no defense." "Sylvia," said the colonel on arriving home. . "Yes, papa." "Do you still want to marry that Dallas fellow? Now, for heaven's sake, don't start crying! Goodness knows I've been worried enough this morning without that. Please answer a plain question in a fairly sane manner. Do you or- do you uot?" ^ "Of course I do, papa." "Then you may. He's the furthest from being a fool of any of the young puppies who live about here, and ho knows one end of a" gun from the other. I'll write to him now." c "Dear- Dallas," wrote the" colonel, "I find on consideration that you are tha only sensible person in the neighborhood. I hope you will come to lunch' today. And if you still want to'marry my daughter you mny." To which Dallas replied by return, of messenger: ��������� ��������� "Thanks for both invitations. I will."

Sleasles Can sen Death. ' Measles is one of the eruptive fevers usually recognized by its peculiar catarrhal symptoms and characteristic rash. - - " - Its specific poison or infection is produced in< the rash, which, 'contrary to common opinion,-' invades the membranes of the nose, throat, lungs and bowels often more severely than the skin. It escapes first in their secretions and afterward from the eruption on the skin. The first is the most virulent and abundant and most difficult to control; tbe last is the least virulent and more'readily destroyed. Most people and many physicians advise "that children be permitted to catch the disease and be through with it, as the risk is slight and the mortality -trifling." Tbe time has passed to advocate the "catching" of any disease. Neither diphtheria nor scarlet fever causes so great proportionate mortality under two and five years of age as does mea'sles. sir.'

Steeyens wrote "praste," evidently 'assuming that as the Celt says "baste" for "beast" he;will'say "praste" for "priest," whereas he is more likely to say "priesht." Thackeray, superexcellent at depicting Irish character, made, his Irishmen speak impossible brogue. He blended the barbarisms of a dozen dialects in the mouth of Captain Costigan. Kipling did much the same with Mulvaney. English dabblers in brogue copied Thackeray for years, then they copied Kipling, and. when the inimitable Dooley "came to.the fore" they took a fresh turn and made all their Irishmen speak the brogue of Mayo.���������George Bartram in Academy.

It is a very common fault with women to ruin their, health and their -tempers and to .waste their energy by neglecting tto systematize their-housework The good housewife makes plans overnight for the work which must be done the following day. Probably a consid- crable",share%of it falls to that special day in each week, but there will be a number of other thingstto do which aro out of' the regular routine, and for these she must plan so as not to have them all crowding in upon her at once and either being^ neglected because there are so many or taken in hand and carried through at the cost of health and spirits. In planning and es-' timating a day's work some allowance should always be made for interruptions and for the work taking rather longer .than.was anticipated. With too many "irons' in the fire" such hindrances as a visitor or having to console a crying child in some little trouble make it difficult to keep that calm, sweet temper which is necessary to tbe woman who is not merely the mainspring of the machinery of the household, but its good angel, who makes it home indeed to all who dwell there. ��������� Egyptian -Women.

On* variety of seed might do extremely well in a soil, while another of a different nature would be a. complete failure under similar conditions.

Therefore it should be obvious to every one that 'these two particular points are of paramount-importance and are worthy of much thought from those in-, terested in -agricultural pursuits'.

He was a native of , BailleuI-en-Flandre,'well qualified to secure for the London merchants the wool of .which- .the Flemish weavers make '. their various materials and, to derive , an honest profit from each. Naturally, because of his commercial subtlety and because of the pleasant and comfortable life which came to'him in cons'o- quence, our, man became exposed to the "jealousies and ill will of the other tradesmen, English for the most parr. He did not know it, since the hypo- ��������� crites allowed nothing to become evident, but," on the contrary, made every .endeavor to present an agreeable'exterior to him,, so as not to compromise in the least the, slight advantages which accrued.to them through his kindliness. Nevertheless they decided to ruin him and to that end contrived a device so black and so* wicked that Sir Satan himself in his demoniacal mind could not have imagined a better. In pursuance of the scheme one of them secret-* ly concealed in the house of Josse'Dullart a leather bag containing a sum of 100 livres sterling in gold crowns. Having clone this,' he1 went to the*criminal - magistrate with two comrades as witnesses to accuse his colleague of having robbed him. _ . .; '' At that remote period there had not' yet appeared under the canopy of heaven any of the impudent sharpers, sluggards and swindlers who in the course of time have shamelessly said and written that ownership means theft, and the money earned by some is so much lost by others, with the sole intern, that they may put everything intoeonfu- .sion and be able easily to slip into their purses that which is another's. The world has indeed heard of much folly and seen many iniquities, but not that,- and human justice, which had never known of any jesting upon the matter, would hy.ve hung their like high and In short order, -dealing with them precisely as she' would with veritable robbers. Who was amazed at seeing the policeman of the provostship invade his ' home, ransack his coffers, and chests, produce from them a sack of gold of which he knew nothing and a legal clerk take down disquieting notes of . the affair in his illegible scrawl? It was the ill fated Dullart. The poor fellow strove with them in vain, vowing to God bis innocence, but , words could not prevail against deeds. !Now, he could not explain how the sack, the evidence of his crime, had come into his possession, whence it followed that the innocent man was condemned to the halter as if he had been guilty. ; ";"���������''���������'��������� ���������"'.-' , The affair, however, let loose in an uproar all the devils of Calais. Think of it���������a great merchant, with a house of his.ow,nti.. convicted of common larceny, like a vulgar rascal! In the end the populace, while it was not privy to the plot laid by a half dozen arrant rogues, was nevertheless not mistrustful. It rather inclined in favor of the pitiable citizen* of Bailleu- lo!s. This without taking into consideration the peasants on the outskirts of tbe town, who were French, not having been expelled from their fireside by the conquerors, as had been the poor commoners of the city, and who hated all the English within their borders. So it may be said that the throng which swarmed about the streets and icrossways on tbe day when Dullart was to be taken to the gibbet entertained more compassion for him than derision, above all. if you take into account the fact that he was young, good in every respect and of a prepossessing appearance. From the jail to the gallows Josse walked with bowed head by the side of a priest, wbo enjoined him to rejoice that newts about to pass into a better world. B* did not glance at a single person, so great was the shame be felt on account of the filthy mischief of which be was accused. It was only When he bad ascended the first_rp"nJ2 of the fatal ladder,' having the cord about his neck, that below the soldiers grouped around the base of the gibbet, he perceived the crowd and recognized among them a fair young woman for whom in happier days'he had conceived a tender and violent passion'. At the sight of her he experienced a yet more poignant sorrow at leaving so soon and so painfully an existence from which he had expected to' derive such delicate felicities. And then, impelled by a 'sudden reminiscence ,and by a natural instinct for preservation, be began to cry out with all his might: "Loyse, Lovse-, by God the' Fat'ier, the Son and the Holy Ghost, I adjure - you! Save my life,' claim me. In mar-, riage." ' , The1 girl stood there trembling with emotion among-her companions. Hearing herself thus addressed by name by the prisoner, she became convulsed with agitation; almost unconsciously, half moved by pity, half incited by her neighbors, she approached the gibbet without the police daring to prevent her. "Oh, Loyse," repeated the prisoner ardently, "I am innocent. 1. swear it b3" my eternal salvation! Demand me In marriage, and you will have saved my life!" , ' ,r, She did not know one word to say, she had, so lost her senses, but she extended her hand; which- the poor devil seized with avidity. Seeing this, the. people in all direction began to roar: '���������A marriage;, a marriage! She' has claimed him! Cut the cord, hangman; cut it, cut it!'-' ' , _ The executioner did not cut the rope, but he-let it drop, undecided as to what was most expedient for him to' do, and as the crowd'^continued to bellow and even-become threatening the officer of- the provostship, judging it an opportune time for a delay, led the condemned man back into.his cell in order tc submit bis peculiar case to the law. And the people dispersed content, believing the man from that moment to be saved. ��������� ��������� But the stealthy cats did not so easily let go one whom they held in their claws. They had a man to be Hanged, a pretty little man, a man over whoso hanging they licked their lips, and here' how people pretended that he was-,taken" out of their grasp! And why, I ask you? Under the most foolish, of pretexts, in the name of some ri diculous custom, some illegal pretense' which granted grace, full, free and immediate, to any condemned man whom a woman declared, in public to desire in lawful -wedlock! Who ever had heard of an eqxial subterfuge? But, ah,' traditional or written,; the law is the law. and the.;case in question had to be elucidated! .Unwillingly rather than willingly they opened an inquest upon the matter in band .to learn whether or not so. unreasonable a usage had ever at any period had power by law, which inquest finally established that no similar case had been presented since the time of the conquest in Calais, but that previous to that date there had been many such cases, more particularly in Flanders and in Artois than in Picardy. In consideration of these indecisive conclusions the enemies of Dullart urged the magistrates to override the law, and the magistrates did not demur. It was the governor who placed an .obstacle before them in view of public opinion, which had become greatly agitated over a controversy which bad at stake the life of a man made in the image of God. Suddenly that dignitary called to mind the example of prudence offered of yore lo.tho world by that worthy magistrate Pontius Pilate in order that he might avoid thrusting his own finger between the tree and its bark. In place of announcing his fears in public he appealed to his'master, King Edward, the fourth of that name, to decide the matter according to his own good pleasure. The monarch judiciously estimated that one man more or, less upon the gallows was of small value in 'enhancing hisglory and bespoke clemency for the case under consideration. He ordained then that the old usages should be conformed with and that full pardon be awarded the condemned man. *. under, the condition, be it well understood, that the solicitor of his love hold him duly to his engagement. So it came to pass that the good Josse had the rare and marvelous fortune to espouse a gentle and well favored maiden after the approved fashion instead of the cold and grimacing death and to be indebted to his wife for that which ordinarily men owe. to their mothers only���������that is to say. his life. \ A similar occurrence took place a short time afterward unexpectedly at the city of Rouen. As a certain thief, a native of Hautvilliers, was conducted to his fate, a loud old woman stepped out of the crowd below and declared that she desired him in marriage. The prisoner, astonished, considered a moment; then, remarking that the aforesaid person was a homely hag, shook his head and pursued his way to the gallows, observing to the executioner: "The wench, I don't want her!" And in a moment he was wedded to the gallows.���������Chicago Tribune. POOR OLD BOWSER! HE TRIES TO PROVE A NEW THEORY IN THE.GUiSE.OF A TRAMP.

"I made a small gift to a man who has been.unfortunate." lie replied. , "But you are always warning me against encouraging this tramp evil," she protested. ' "Yes; I have told you that the professional tramp should not be encouraged, but this Is an altogether different case. It yras not laziness or vice, but pure misfortune, that forced the man to ask for .assistance. I could only spare a dollar, but I wish"��������� ^ "You gave him a dollar!" gasped Mrs. Bowser. -' ,i ��������� \ "I did, and there is no occasion for -you to lose your breath over it.

In this she was mistaken, however. No sooner had they passed up stairs than he began: "It is the easiest thing In the world Mrs. Bowser, for one who understands physiognomy or has studied the inflection of the human voice to defect the false from the true." > "I never knew that you had studied physiognomy," she somewhat tartly replied. "Perhaps not. There are a great many things you don't know. You are probably not aware that I can tell by a man's inflections when he is lying to me." "Then how do so many deceive you?" "Who has deceived me?" lie shouted as his self complacent smile suddenly vanished. ."That's your way exactly. When you find you can't hold up an argument, you begin to pitch into me personally. I have never been deceiv- j ed. never.,and you know it. This man tcuight, for Instance, was telling me the solemn truth, and I'll bet a dollar to cents on it!" "What did he say?" asked Mrs. Bowser as the cat came up from the dining room and looked from one to the other with a mild grin on her face. "Never mind what he said. I am glad I did not turn him away. You would probably have ordered him off in o hurry and thus added cruelty to misfortune. You would have done it because you can't tell the true ring from the false. Why don't you pay some attention to physiognomy?" "I do. . I had been noticing the man, and my idea was that he was a loafer and a liar." "Then you are an Idiot!" ' ,' . "He had just asked the cook for a bite to eat, and the inflection, of his voice betrayed him as a deceiver." "By thunder, woman, you would aggravate a saint!" growled Mr. Bowser as he scared the cat under the lounge and then began pacing to and fro. "It's a mighty good thing for the unfortunate that alt peoplo are not like you. You are as stony hearted as old Shy- lock himself. I presume you would turn me from your door if 1 came in disguise and asked for a crust of "I shouldn't like your looks,"' frankly admitted Mrs. Bowser. "Thank you." "Nor your inflections of voice'. T^uly, I should say that you were a liar!'' "You would! You would! Woman, do you mean to insult rue?" . . "And I thiuk nicest other folks would; Bay the same." ;-;:V "Oh. you do, eh? Well, now, let mlfc tell you something. First, I'll never* forgive you for this'deadly .insult; second, I'll prove to 'you within twenty minutes that vou don't iknow* :as much about human nature as that cat doe's about playing the piano.- Woman, I'm going to bring vou off that '��������� pedestal with a thump!". ' - ' ' "Didn't yo"u ask me to tell you honestly what I thought?" she queried. "Never you mind that.' L'll prove that you are the only'human, being in this town without a heart. I'm going to put on a suit of old ,clothes and walk around the block and ask three or four people for charity. You'll see whether my face aud voice rgive me'away as a' Maraud deceiver." , ' . "I wouldn't do such a fooling thing,"' she protested. "Perhaps I spoke a little"��������� "Yes, you* spoke a little!" he Interrupted. "You spoke enough to say that everybody would take me,for a liar: and, we are going to see about it. Don't trouble yourself to get up. ��������� Just sit right where you are and believe that everybodjr else In tho whole'world but you is a, fraud. I have said that the hearts of thousands are open to a tale of real misfortune, and now for .proofs!" ,- ��������� Mrs. Bowser didn't believe he would put the matter to a'tesst, but ten minutes later ,he-eauie down stairs in an' old outfit and passed outdoors. Tho rear1'view, she caught of him .was trampisli;enough for.,any tramp. -Ho was pacing slowly around the block to' get his nerve up when he met a benevolent looking old man witlra cane who was on his way to prayer meeting and stopped him' to pour out his.tale of woe. He hadn't uttered a dozen words when the cane was raised aloft and the old benevolent shouted: , "Yon ��������� go on, you rascal, or I'll call the police!' I believe you aro the man who stole our wheelbarrow yesterday." v Mr. Bowser went on. ' His theory "about physiognomy and inflections had received a shock, but he was not discouraged.' He stopped half way around the block and rang the, basement bell of a-house. The cook answered it after a minute, and bo took pains that she should see his face'full in the light and that his inflections were all right as he said he hadn't had anything to eat for two days.- ( '"You old fraud! I'll yell for master if you don't skip lively!" exclaimed the cook as he hoped for.cold victuals. '"But, my dear woman, can!t you see that I ain no tramp?" he sweetly que; ried. "Can't'you tell the difference"���������^ "No, nor I don't want to!" she shouted. "If you come hcre''and yank this bell again, you'll want wings to get away!" ' JTliat wras shock number two. but Mr. Bowser went six doors up. the street and called another cook to the door and, said: "I am an unfortunate man and not n tramp, and may'I kindly ask"��������� " "Yoa can kindly take yourself off," she interrupted.' . "But I amjhuhgry and have no place to lodge." ������������������- .���������'."- \ , . "Then go to some charity. I don't like your looks or your voice.- ' Be off with you!" '" '���������'.'] Mr. Bowser had found three cold and cruel hearts, hearts like Mrs. Bowser's, but he determined to try again. He rang a front doorbell this time, and it was the owner of the house who ap- ; neared in answer and exclaimed: "What! You cheeky old fraud, are you back again?" "I am an unfortunate man," replied Mr. Bowser. "I'll bet you are, but I'll get you' a job in'jail if you don't dust out of this! Away with you!" "But, my dear sir, can't you tell the dif"��������� He couldn't. He took Mr. Bowser by the collar and ran him down the steps and out of the gate, nnd he called him a fraud, a liar and a jailbird. Five minutes later Mrs. Bowser heard the front door softly open, and 8he looked up to see Mr. Bowser squeeze himself Into the hall and sneak softly up stairs. She waited a whole- hour for him to come down, but he did not appear. Then she turned out tbe lights and went un to find him in bed and fast asleep. . * M. Quad. CULINARY CONCEITS.

GRAIN AND PRODUCE. WHEAT���������The wheat markets during the past week have continued to decline daily, with scarcely the least sign of reaction. Crop'weather everywhere has been favorable, and the volume of trade extremely light. The consequence is that in, the American speculative markets there has only been one way to the course of prices and that has been downward. If anything should happen to depreciate the present fine prospect for the spring wheat crop a sharp" advance i in prices would readily take place. At the stage which the spring wheat has arrived, it would scarcely be possible under the most favorable conditions to improve the prospects further, so that any change in weather conditions would probably be for the worse, and. much may happen between now and the' time when the crop will all be safely ' gathered. The demand from Europe for wheat has been very quiet for- sonic time, but in the last few .days a good deal of export business is reported from the seaboard.

Moorb for a packet of Monsoon. Personally, I drink Blue Ribbon in lhe morning and Monsoon at 5 o'clock, but then, you know, I am a perfect crank about'tea. Yours truly, , , SARAH GRUNDY.
