THE MYSTERY OF A YEAR.
JL little "while, a year agane,
I knew .her for a romping child,
JL dimple and a glance that shone
"With idle mischief -when she smiled.
Today she passed me in the press,
And, turning with a quick surprise,
I "wondered at her stateliness,
1 "wondered at her alt-ered eyes.
To me the street -was just the same.
The people and the city's stir,
3ut life had kindled into name.
And all the world -was changed for her.
I "watched her in the crowded "ways,
A noble form, a queenly head,
"With all the woman in her gaze.
The conscious -woman in her tread.

DOG AND STUFFED TIGER.
;A Xittle Incident From Kew York City!!
Varied Street Life.
" "In a Broadway show window," Eaid
a stroller, "there is a particularly big
and handsome tiger, stuffed, that I have
often looked at in passing. I saw in
front of this Etore the other day a .man
who had with him a tremendously big,
shaggy dog. The man looked at the
tiger, and stopped and tried to draw the
dog's attention to it But the dog didn't
look that way, and, in fact, he didn't
stop. He slowed down, just as one man
might have done for .another who had
stopped for a moment to" look in a win
dow or to speak to a friend, and when
he had moved ahead a few steps in that
way, not finding himself overtaken, he
did just as a man might have done again.
He swung round with the same meas
ured tread and came back to the win
dow. Then the master, with a faint
smile, again invited the big dog to look
at the tiger, but instead of doing that
the big dog looked up into hiE master's
face and wagged his tail, and the mas
ter looked down and smiled at his dog;
then the man started on down Broad
way, with the big deg wagging his tail,
walking along beside him.
"But while the big dog had shown no
desire to look at the tiger, had, in fact,
shown rather an aversion to looking at
it, it did not appear that this aversion
came in any degree whatever from fear.
The perfect self possession and the deep
and unbroken good humor of the dog
were unmistakable; apparently lie sim
ply didn't care for tigerE and didn't
want to look at this one, but it did seem
that if it had been possible for the tiger
to come to life and step down from the
window and around and out through the
door on to the sidewalk then the big dog
would not have walked away; that there
would then have been there on the side
walk the loftiest Ecrap that Broadway
ever saw, with the chances well, the
chances were in favor of the dog. ' ' New

Unique Pianos.
"All manner of articles in place of
wood have been used in the manufac
ture of pianos, " says one of the great
est English piano makers. "Perhaps the
most successful of these is paper, of
which manypianoE of exquisite tone
and appearance have been made. The
Buke of Devonshire has one of the finest
specimens of the paper piano, this being
of French make, and decorated most or
nately with pictures T)y French artists.
The duke gave 500 guineas for this,
mainly, no doubt, on account of the or
namentation. 1 suppose yon know that
pianos for very hot and vory cold cli
mates all instruments for export, in
fact have to be specially made, and in
this direction all manner of experiments
have been tried. Among others, a sort
of cellulose, one factor in which is ac
tually common molasses, from which
sugar is made, is employed, and a com
position made from the chemical treat
ment of grtta perclia and leather pulp
has been tried. Ivory pianos are by no
means uncommon, and the dowager
Countess of Dudley lias a magnificent
carved specimen. Pianos of ivory are, I
might say, made every year in numbers,
but chiefly for Indian princes and rich
Spanish Americans, ilany pianos of
solid silver have been made; indeed,
one was only recently completed by a
London firm for the nizain of Haidara
bad, and piano cases have at various
times been made of bronze, a species of
aluminium, glass, porcelain and in combination-mother

A detective was bringing a woman
whom he lad arrested at Boulogne-star-Seine
upon a steamer to the prefecture,
when at the Concorde hridgo a well
dressed man threw nimself into the riv
er and was drowning. The detective is
an excellent swimmer, and it cost him
a painful struggle to see a fellow crea
ture lose his life. "If only I wero
alone," he said tohisprisoner, "I would
jump into the water to Eave him. "
The woman, who lad been sentenced
to 15 days' imprisonment for assault
upon Ihe police, at once xeplied : "Do
so. I will wait for you at the pier and
will not run away." The detective
thereupon plunged into the stream and
seized the drowning man by his clothes,
when a boat struck against him violent
ly andmade him lose his grip. He dived
again, but in vain, and, quite exhaust-
ed. lie was nulled on board a small
skiff, which was nearly smashed by a
steamer coming from tho opposite direc
tion. Capiaumont, as the brave fellow was
called, was enthusiastically cheered by
the onlookers. The body of the man he
had tried to save was recovered a few
hours later. Dn her part, the woman
who had "been in custody acted quite as
courageously, for, true to her word, she
waited for the detective at the Pont
Neuf and handed to him his coat, in the
pocket of which was the warrant upon
which she had been arrested. It is satis
factory to add that when the chief of
the department was apprised of her
conduct lie immediately ordered the
woman to be set at liberty in recognition
of her devotion. Paris Correspondence.
Thomas Carlyle.
Carlyle certainly taught us to have a
keen scent for cant and to abhor it,
though his horror of cant certainly some
times became a cant of his own. The
habit of denouncing cant is very apt to
blind us to the cant of denunciation.
Until men leave off eloquent generali
ties and look quietly into their own
hearts without blast of trumpets and
glorification of themselves for stripping
themselves of cant they will not strip
themselves of the very habit which most
endangers their truthfulness and sincer
ity. Carlyle taught us to despise cant,
but hardly to detect it in ourselves.
His genius was as impatient as his
industry was patient There was no toil
"which hewould not go through to make
his books workmanlike, hut a great
many of his carefully compiled facts
proved to be more or less adapted to 1
spoil the effect of his impatient epi- j
grams. A great part of Carlyle's genius '
was a genius for happy exaggeration,
though it was a land of exaggeration
which brought out, as nothing else could
have brought out, the real drift and sig
nificance of social and political facts.
Never did any man preach the duty of
submitting to wise authority more elo
quently, but never was there a man of
genius who was less inclined to subju
gate his own mind to the authority for
which ho professed so Platonic an affec
tion
He has flashed all manner of bril-
liant lights upon character and history,

Walrus Whiskers -For Toothpicks.

MAGIC OF THE WOODS.
RTfc&t Hunters Say Abest tho Spell ef
Otter'a Eye.
By the Adirondack woodsmen along
the banks of the West Canada creek the
otter is regarded as quite as sly as the
fox, inasmuch as it is very difficult to
bap in any kind of contrivance. There
are fewer stories about the creature's in
telligence, as the animals are scarce .and
have not been so much observed as have
the foxes.
There has been, and probably is, an
otter that for six years anyhow, and per
haps longer, has traveled down the creek
winter and summer about every two
weeks. In the winter it left a running,
sliding trail in the snow on the ice, sel
dom leaving the creek bed to go into a
cove or overland for a dozen or 15 rods.
I" summer weather it fished and caught
uu. -a gm
the
many shots have been fired at it and a
lot of traps Eet for it, but none was
over successful It is believed by woods
men that the otters, like the hell divers,
loons, mink and others, dodgo shot or
hall. I saw this otter once some years
ago inthe summer time, and while only
one feature of the animal is distinct in
my mind, I do not recollect any other
wild animal so welL The Tjody is a mere
glimmer of black in waving swale grass.
Even the head is a burly, rusty gray
ihadow, a sort of background for the
two eyes.
J I have seen deers when they were
standing still looking at me, have look
ed at squirrels, rabbits, partridges, foxes
and other wild animals alarmed by my
presence, but their forms, rather than
, their eyes, are more or less distinct In
j fact, the eyes seem secondary in the
mind pictures, except in the case of the
otter. It seems to me that the otter did
not merely look at me; it was more as
if it looked into me, the same as the
sensation one has when some one a
man or woman "reads your innermost
thoughts." These eyes were large and
full rounded, dark brown with a shim
mer of light gray skating across and
around the center, and with a lively
beauty as different from the dead beauty
of a deer's full eye. It sent precisely
such chills up and down my back as
dark human eyes have done. It was a
tense, particular look, and not the gen
eral gaze of a bird or other animal. The
otter, I think, hypnotized me, for I did
not shoot, although my impression is
that we looked at one another for a
minute or two. Forest and Stream.
THE GOOD-SAMARITAN IN CHINA.
He Would Save Been Likely to Get Hixn-
j self Into Trouble.
I One dark evening I was returning
home from a call Gn one of our English
neighbors in Taiyuenfu. When not far
from cur compound, the road crossed an
open space of several acres in extent
As I was finding my way along by the
rather dim light of a Chinese lantern I
nearly stumbled over the body of a man
! who had fallen by the way. My first
, impulse was to take hold of the person
and ascertain if help was needed, but
for some reason I did not, but hurried
homo to get aid. Mr. X was still with
j us and on hearing my statement said :
j "Yes, I know. The man is dead, and
I it is fortunate that yon did net attempt
to touch the body. Should we now try
to remove it or even to go to it we
should no doubt be seen and at once
-suspicion would attach itself to us, and
' none could tell the consequences. We
might cause a riot before morning. "
! It should be said that this suspicion
j would not have been because we were
foreigners, for a native under similar
circumstances would likewise have run
the risk of being charged with the mnr-
der. The good Samaritan would have
fared lardly in China, or most likely
would have been suspected of doing the
kind deed for some ultimate gain, while
the priest and the Levite would have
been accounted not hard hearted, but

the ladies were discussing the woman

city:
A gentleman present, after hearing
all the pros and cons, facetiously re
marked that two preachers were discuss
ing the same problem, recently, in his
hearing, and they both agreed that it
portended evil, and "that women were
responsible for most of the evil in the
world in fact, that women were worse
than men."
One of the ladies indignantly retort
ed, "Indeed they are not; women are
the salt of the earth. "
"Dat's eo, honey," put in old Aunt
Susan from the kitchen ; "dat's de Bible

HOW DARIUS SCOFIELD'S MOTHER
KILLED FOUR PANTHERS.

"If the late Darius Scofield cf Cort

mother dickering with a bear for him
when he was a year old and getting iiim
back from the bear in exchange for a
loaf of corn bread, and who remembered
a lot of things about other relations of

had remembered something his mother
did once, ho would have liad another

Darius' amazing memory wasn't capable
of that, for when his mother .had this
adventure she wasn't Darius' mother
yet and indeed wasn 't his mother until
two years later. She was then plain
Sally Bighter.
"She was going through the woods
one day on an errand to a neighbor's, a
couple of. miles from her father's clear
ing, when she heard a panther yell, and
looking back saw the animal bounding
along the path toward her. Sally was
only 18, but she knew enough about
panthers to bo afraid of them. In turn
ing round to look behind her she had
stopped, and she noticed that the pan
ther stopped too. When she started on
again, the panther followed. The faster
she went the faster the panther went,
yelling frequently. Then Sally stopped
again and turned square around in the
path. The panther stopped instantly,
crouching and swaying its long tail.
j Sally hurried on again, and the panther
hurried after her. When Sally stopped
and turned again, Ehe saw that the
panther was a great deal nearer to her
than it had been when it stopped be
fore. "Sally wasn't half way .to the place
she was going. She saw that at one
more turn the panther's tactics would
have brought the wily beast so close to
her that it would undoubtedly make its
spring. She resolved to make an effort
to save herself. Before stopping again
she saw a heavy club at the side of the
path. She quickly picked it up and aft
er a step or two more stopped and turned
suddenly, facing the panther, which
was now not more than ten feet behind
her. The panther was ready for its
spring, but before it could leap Sally
rushed upon it with a yell that shamed
those the panther had uttered and gave
the savage beast a blow on the nose
that made everything crack. The pan
ther lowered its head and began co
sneeze and snuffle. Sally brought the
club down again, this time on the pan
ther's head, and the great cat sprang
one side and ran up a dead hemlock
tree. Thinking that she had scared her
hungry foe from the chase, Sally started
to run on her way, when she saw the
panther get ready to leap from the tree.
She turned and faced it again just as
the furious animal sprang. Sally jump
ed aside. The panther alighted on the
ground at her feet, and quick as a flash
and with tho force of a trip hammer the
big club descended on its neck. Tho
parither settled down flat on the ground
under the blow, and two more strokes of
the club ended its career.
"Sally was pretty well flustrated by
this lively bout with the panther and
was wiping her face with her apron and
taking a breathing spell when she heard
a great whining in the direction of the
dead hemlock. Looking in that direc
tion, she saw too good sized panther
kittens tumbling out of a hollow in the
tree trunk. Sally had her spunk up
now. She believed, and no doubt she
was right, that the two baby panthers
belonged to the panther that -had been
making her journey so unpleasant for
her, and she made up her mind to have
a little more satisfaction by knocking
them on the head too. She was walking
over to the tree to finish her work when
' a yell that almost made her hair rise
broke on her ears, and looking down
tho path sho was alarmed to see another
panther, bigger than the one she had
killed, coming fiercely toward her. This
she set down as the dead one's mate.
She was pleased to notice that his ad
vance was Eomewhat hampered by the
fact that one of his fore legs was off at
the knee.
"He was plainly bound for a fight,
however, in spite of that handicap, and
came right on, yelling at every humpy
bound he made. Sally concluded to try
tho same tactics on this panther she had
on the other one, and shQ set up the
most unearthly yelling and rushed to
meet the ugly "beast. This surprised
him. He stopped, but kept on glaring.
Tho next thing he knew he got a whack
over the nose that dropped him flat in
the path. Sally didn't give him time to
recuperate, and in less than five seconds
had his brains scattered to the four
winds. The two young panthers had by
this time come out into the path and
were huddled at their dead mother's
side, licking her and crying most pite
onsly. This touched Sally's heart, and
she determined to spare the lives-of tho
kittens and take them home. She stoop
ed down to Etroko one of them, when it
turned on her, and quick as lightning
sunk the sharp claws of one paw deep
into her hand. Sally then knocked both
of the youngsters in the head and held
the unprecedented record of killing four
panthers in less than ten minutes. Sally
went on and did her errand and told
what luck Ehe had run against on the
way over. Young Jim Scofield, son of
the neighbor where Sally had the er
rand, went back with her, and they
lugged the panthers in to Sally's fa
ther's. Young Jim must have thought
she would make just the kind of wife a
hustling backwoods farmer ought to
have, for he took to calling at old man
Bighter's pretty regular, and in less
than a year he and Sally were married.
Darius was born a year or so afterward. ' '

The human eye, though trained to

forget how to distinguish them. The
unique experience cf Dr. H. Harley, F.
B. S., related in the London Spectator,
establishes the fact that color can he
forgotten, as well as learned, by human
sight
Dr. Harley, in order to save the sight
of one eye or nerhaps of both when
one was injured, voluntarily immured
himself in a room made totally dark for
nine months.
The fortitude which enabled him to
adopt this course and the ingenuity by
which he preserved his health and fac
ulties ir. this the most mentally and
physically depressing of all forms of
imprisonment aro sufficiently remarka
ble, but Dr. Harley also kept an accu
rate record of his impressions when he
at last looked again "upon the light, after
the supreme moment at which he satis
fied himself that he was not blind, but
could see.
j He found that in the nine months'
darkness his eyes had lost all sense of
color. The world was black, white and
gray. They had also lost the Eense of
distance. His brain interpreted the pic
ture wrongly. His hand did not touch
the object meant to be grasped. Prac

Paris Omnibuses.
Complaints that the Omnibus com
pany darken their windows with adver
tisements are rife in Paris as in London.
In Paris, however, the offending bills
are put, not in the windows of the vehi
cles, but in those of the stations, where
most people who have had experience of
riding in the omnibuses of the French
capital have spent many a tedious half
hour. It is well known that French con
ductors can set down passengers, but
cannot pick them up. The passengers
have to go to the nearest station, as on
the railways, there to wait their turn,
and there being no competing under
ground railways and an insufficient
number of omnibuses to meet the re
quirements of the traffic, they often
have to wait a long time. In these cir
cumstances it is felt to be a hardship
that they cannot see the omnibuses from
the inside as they draw up, but have to
rush out in the cold or rain every time
one comes rumbling up to see whether
it is the one they want London Daily

Shakespeare and Tennyson.
When Tennyson was with me, whose
portrait hangs in my house, in company
with those of Thackeray and this man
(the three greatest men I have known),
I thought that both Tennyson and
Thackeray were inferior to him in re
spect of thinking of themselves. When
Tennyson was telling mo of how The
Quarterly abused him (humorously, too),
and desirous of knowing why one did
not care for his later works, etc, I
thought if he had lived an active life,
as Scott and Shakespeare, or even shot,
drank and played the devil, as Byron,
he would have done much more and
talked about itmuch less. "You know,"
said Scott to Lockhart, "that I don't
care a curse about what I write, " and
one sees he did not I don't believe it
was far otherwise with Shakespeare.
