She really of all the men ah knew moat
fancied Vanrbymelander de Knickerbocker.
Wbe waa abet Isabella de Knickerbocker
Ilbynievanlander. The similarity in their
uaiues waa owing to th fact that tbe main
brancbea of both families, tbe trunk lines in
fact, bad more or leas intermarried for seven
or eight Keneratioiui. Hut tbey never inter
married, did any of tbce trunk cr lattoral
lne, unlem both roiitoa wore rich.

Why did not Isabella do Knickerbocker

CHATTER IV.
Meantime young Vanrbymelatvler de
Knurkorliocker was trying to get rich. lie
counselled with tlie family lawyer. Tho
family lawyer could see no other road than
that f wealth to Join two such congenial
natures as those of Vanrhymclmider de
Knickerbocker and Inabellu de Kuickcr-Un-kvr
UbyiuevanlarMler. "It's all that'
imU-!," be reuiai keJ, "to make tho contract
binding.'' Vaurhynielander coun-Hod with
the family phyiciau. "Tberw's no cure for
your cam'," said Dr. Dond, ''save richeji. The
gii I can't really marry any no but you.
You were luado for each other providing
you ore cemented together b moii'-y." Tbe
young man nppliod aUo to the family cit-rgy-
UUlll.
"ProviileDce h.a3 calle 1 us to different sta
tions of life," bo remarked, "ami it is our
duty to fit ourselves for tbuui. In jour case
I cannot see bow au nllmuio bet ween such

and the family catk on tlm Rhino,"
she remarked, "but to think of ally
ing one's self for life to a gallon
of beer per lay, to bay nothing of
the garlic flavored bolognas! Oh. why does
not Vani hymelander get rich And softly
she sang to borelf, "Two aouls witli but a
single thought (when rich), two hearts that
beat as unit (when rich.)"
CHAPTER VI.
I will labor to becomo wealthy," quoth
young Vanrhyinelandur; "I will Lea Knight
of Finance. I will enter tho list of Wall
street. I will bo a chivalric bull. Or I will
be a noble bear, according to the state of the
market. It matters not which. I will doalL
1 will dure all financially to win Isabella. "
CHAPTER VTL
Wail street met the brave knight with open
arm. Then itcloticd tbm. It squeezed him.
It scoojicd him out- It Hung him forth bruised,
breat hless and bleeding. He essayed one more
feeble attempt. He iut his last f 100 in Wa

lanced triumphantly on his temporarily un
conscious remains.
CHAPTER VUI.
Sore, bruised and bleeding, the young
knight Vanrhymelandor de Knickerliocker
sought bis lady love. He knelt at her foot.
"I have done all that mortal man could do,"
said be, "to vanquish tho demou poverty.
Let us uot iniud the prejudices of society.
Let uk marry. 1 have a teapot. You u tea
cup. With these we can set up bousvskeep
in".' Said she: "Dearest, tb apple of ray oye,
the man of my choice, I would indeed, how
gladly would I but s I, ala! 1
cannot. You are noor.il vWLat would
life be for me for is - without a town house,
a country hou.-e, a carriage, a hut-house, a
private ice bouse, a jacbt ami th: c)tl:,jrac
ceork? Dt ai est, it breaks my heart to say
JCo.' But I have the strength to uy it. It
cannot be. It can not lie until your credit at
your banker's reaches that figure which wil'
enable us to move iu society."
Van, etc, ru&hod madly from tho room.
CHAPTER IX.
He set his jaws firmly together, grinding
nut as he did 30 a pint of nickle-ptuled teeth.
'It must be done," he hissed. Then by mut
tered tlie same remark, "Fair means bave
failed. Law, medicine, divinity all egg me
on. I have an uncle a rich uucie. He liears
an honored and trusted name. I will put that
unmo to a bit of paper. And without his
consent.
CHAPTER X.

Van, etc, wears the uniform of his order

CHAPTER XI.
"Alas!" cried Isabella, now still a maiden
of mauy summers, "How many trtia and
loving hearts hath cruel, grinding jtoverty
sundered forever. Had ho but gotten rich.

CHAPTER XII.
"The remedy for this wok and thes woeis
of this description is land," said Homy
George, the landless political economist.
"All that these parties needed to bave
brought them happily together wasi lota of
terra lirmu. That is." he remarked correct
himself, "a few lots not too many, I bold."
CHAPTER XIII.
"George." said his wife, at lart, "Henry,
it's after 11 . o'clock. Don't you think you
might as well give the subject pause? You
know you've said it before, and mln- eurs
bave heard It many times."
CHAPTER XIY.
"True." said Henry 43eorge, "Thou speak

rather startling facts from a distant city to

dispatch by quoting:
"We ar living, we are dwelling, in a grand

In an age on ages telling, to be living is
sublime."
The following day I received a telegram

Other tilings, lie look occasion lo remark that

whence all the roped are worked, ts named
the 'flies.' That continuation of it
tliere where the artist is at work is
called the 'paint bridge.' It Is made to raise
and lower, and so is his immense easel, known
as a 'paint frame. Tboe bole-', in tlie stage
are 'tniw. and tbe space underneath is the
'trap cellar.' Some of tbe traps are made
with spring to about a person up quickly in
pantomime or spectacular pieces. They arc
then called 'star' tr 'vumpiro' tras. Those
strqwof wood ladow the flies into which the
scenes slide are vailed 'grooves,' and each di
vision of a groove is a 'cut. The space be
twen each set of grooves is an 'entrance.
These two handsomely painted wings near
the pruscoiiium arch, and which usually re
main on tho stage no matter what tbe scene,
arw called 'tormentors;' why, I don't know,
except it may be that the audieiicu gota
wearieil of always seeing them.
"Olisurvo tliese narrow grooves in the
stages, down which scenes may be made to
disappear. They are 'sinks, and the board j
ihut comr them uro 'sliders.' To boll op
pw-os of scenery we uso those poles with
aule. irons, callod braces. To fasten them
to tho stage are these cork-screw-liko thiugs
ti-rmed 'screw-eyes. This is the 'prompt
aie,' or where the prompter stands, and the
other ia the o. p.,' or 'opposite prompt.'
Here is a 'msu box,' which moves up and
down with the calcium light; representing
that lumicary. This sheet of iron is termed
the 'thunder drum. Pull that string and you
shake up a barrel of pens, which makes the
sound of rain, and which is called the 'rain
box.' Turn that handle and this gigantic
rattle mules a noise like breaking wood.'" It
is a 'crash,' and is used to make the sound of
bursting doors or falling buildings. Against
the wall is a 'call box,' whoro tbe 'calls' or
notices of rehearsals are posted. That piece
of canvas painted like water, and which
while lymg on the stage is shaken from tho
entrances, is a 'sea cloth.' Those painted
strips of muslin are 'gauze, waters;' tbey
were used in the cave scene of the 'ColleeO
Bawn.
"To put a play on Is to 'mount it. To
mount it cheaply is to 'fake' it A 'full set'
is a scon' occupying nil the stage. A 'car
penter's scene' Is set in tbe first grooves U
fill tim while other scenes are being set
To 'strike' is to move a scene from the stage.
A stage hand is a 'grip. Thin wheel coverec
with foil working behind slat in the scene
is a 'ripple barrel.' It gives the effect of
moonlight on the water. These wings cut
n firncy shapes on the edge are 'profiled.
This mass of gas burners is a 'huucb light;
It can lie moved to any part of the .stage.
Tbe curtain Ls called the 'rag,' and the hand
some one used between the acts is the 'act
drop.' My instructions from the authoi are
called a 'si-en. plot,' aud where I store my
scenes is a Mock.'

Tbo oak flooring of the Brooklyn bridge
has shrunk and warped under the heat of the
sun. and has splintered badly from the tide
of rough travel, so that it must lie renewed.
Ex-Mayor Grace's firm bad the contract foi
the flooring, as ex-Mayor Cooper's lirm had
that, for a good pait of tbe iron. But Mr.
Grace might be pardoned if an occasional
poor board were inserted among the plunk
be furnished, for ho made nothing by the
contract. It seems that Mr. Jay Gould hod
a grudge against Ma3or Grace because the
latter refused to grant him some official favor
he demanded. Tbe big capitalist made n
threat, but retired and waited his opportu
nity for vengeance, tt came before long.
The "little magician" had heard that Mr.
Grace had secured the contract for the bridge
flooring, and that tbe material was to be
Georgia pine of a certain quality. At ouce
he seut bis trnsry messengers and cornered
tho market. When the mayor came to fill
bis contracts he found that the price had ad.
vanced and that he must buy of Mr. Gould.

The Tremendous Power of Water.
Reno Gazette.
The properties of water aro only partially
understood by those who have never seen it
under high pressure. The Virginia City
water company gets its supply from Marietta
lake, on the Tahoe side of the mountain. It
gets it through by a long tunnel, is then on the
crest of a high mountain opposite Mount Da
vidson, with Wasboe valley between. To
cross this valley by a flume would bo almost
impossible, so tho water is carried down the
mountain side to the bottom, and crosses un
der the V & T. railroad track, on tho divide
between Washoe aud Eagle valleys, then up
igain to the required height in pipes. The
depression created in the line of carriage is
,?2U feet, and the pressure on the pipes is 800
pounds to the square inch. One pipe is eleven
inches in diameter, and is quarter-inch iron,
lap-welded, and eighteen feet long, with screw
joiuts. There is little trouble from it; but
the other, which is twelve inches In diameter
and a riveted pipe, makes more or less trouble
all the time. The pipe is laid with tbe seam
down, and whenever a crack is made by tbe
frost or sun warping it, or from afy other
cause, the stream pours forth with tremend
ous force.
IX tbe joint Is broken open, of course the
whole stream is loose and goes tearing dwn
tbe mountain, but usually the escape is very
smalL The break last week was less than
five-eighths of an inch in diameter, and yet
tho water in ttw flume was lowered an inch
and a half by it, and the pressure weut down
fifteen or twenty pounds. Capt. Overton
says thai, ufty iuches of water wont through
it. It has been probably a year in cutting
out, and was made try a little stream hardly
visible to tho naked eye that escaped through
a joiut and struck the pipe two or three feet
off, eating away the iron until the piesbure
inside broke it through. When such a break
occurs tbe noise can bo beard for half a mile,
and tbe earth shakes for buub-ds of feet
around, A break tbe sizo of a knitting
needle will cut a bole in the pipe in half an
hour. Such breaks are repaired by putting
a band around the pipe, pouring iu moulten
lead, and tamping it in. Such a stream bores

Tulea bv James Pavn.
It was a very wet evitiing and I took shel
ter In a doorwav hi the K lecware road. Po-
licmian XI soon joined mo there. 'Now, I
never let an opportunity slip when there is
the least chance to obtain information, so 1
quietly commenced a conversation with XL
"What Is the enriousest thing 1 ever irauie
across f" said ho. "Well, sir, that aiu't a ques
tion aa is very eesy to answer, esjiec-iully ou a
night like this," be added.
"Well, here is a shilling for you, my good
friend, to keep out tbo cold, and to s.v-iht
your memory."
"Then, air, iu course I'll do my lnt," and
he at once placed himself iu au attitude f
deep thought
"Well, sir. I've been a pleesemau six years,
and last Saturday night, in this ere very
street it was not murder or robbery, n t
uuthin' sj iecy of that sort, but the curivu-.'.--t
thing as ever I camo across.
"It was 10 o'clock, fine and clear, whi-u I
see a crowd; and where there is a crowd, that
is my place, and I'm alius then.-. It as too
late for Punch, and too early for fighting, so
I thought it might be serious.
"When I got up. it was only a resjectalilo
old party who had lost her wuy. I thought
at first she was a furriner by her talk, but at
last I found out there was som - English in it,
and I managed to find out tliat she came
from Devonshire, wh-re she said they all
simkn like that, which seemed ridiklus,
don't It, siri"
"Ki .11.. us iudeed," returned I.
"Well, there she was," said he, "a hale.
active old party, with an immense nightcap
on her bead, her sleeves tucked up to her
a oulders, aud a bar of yellow soap in her
hand.
"She had been asking her way to 'her
daughter Sully's' of every one she met for
half an hour or more. Ami as most of tho
people could not understand what she said,
they took her for a mad woman, and well
they might
" 'Well now, my good woman,' said I,
what is itf
"Then she told me her story, and though
could not understand all she said, I man
aged to pick up that she lived iu Dccplane,
Devonshire, and had come up the day before
to seo her daughter Sally. It was the first
time the old soul hod ever left Deeplane, and
ally's husband met her at Paddiiigtou sta
tion and took her home, but where that
ome was now she had not the faintest idea
"It was her daughter Sally's, No. 3. and
that was all she knew. What was her hus
band's name? 'Tom,' sho said; she knew no
more.
"Sho bod lost licrself in this manner: She
had beljiod hor daughter to wadi, and the
soap ran short The shops were about to
close. So she volunteered to go. She bad
been to the grocer's with Sally, and could
find her way again. So off sha started, and,
after some difficulty, found the shop, bought
her soap, and was returning, but now other
shops were closed, all looked different; she
was iu a dilemma; she had even forgotten
the grocer's name, who was now closed, and
so she wandered up and down asking for her
daughter Sully's No. 3.
"1 was puzzled what to do. ITad it been a
poor child lost, there would have been no
difficulty; it would have boen aa easy as
lying."
"How so?" said I, "I should have thought
It would havo leen more difficult with a child
than au adult, even though she camo from
Devonshire."
"Not a poor child, Eir. In this case we
alius says, 'where does your father get his
beer;' and out like winkin' comes tbe name of
the public house.
"Well, I took her up flret ono street and
then another, thinking she might identify the
right one; but she identified 'ein all they
were all alil:o to her. So in despair I gave
it up. Sho would not go to the station
house, and she would uot go to tho work
house and what was I to do with the old
l-artyr'
"'I've got my Sally's direction writ
down,' said sho at last, 'in one of her let
ters. "I was just going to let fly, and call her a
, but I thought of my own old mother
Ijoiiig in such a fix, and tho old party added,
Not in my pocket, Mr. Pleeseman. no, not
in my pocket I wish it was but in my bak
Uy Itox (she meant her snuff-box) that I left
at Deeplane, Isx-nuso 1 knew there was
plenty of snuff in ly.n loo, in the right-hand
suJ ol tlie b ittoui drawer in my bedroom.'
"How very particular tho waa as to tbe
exact locality of her box, and yet there she
w asm Edgeware road, with nothing but
Sully. No. 3.'
'Well,' says T, 'my good o!d lady, you
irius-t just pro back to Deeplane and look for
that 'ere letter.'
"So, bare arras, soap, and all, off sho
irmlgcd to Paddmgton siation with ouo of
out men, and 1 heard that the railway com
pany took her to Dplat.e and bock foi
nothing, and so 1 says, 'Heaven bioss tliat
iomiany and increase its traffic
''And so she came tuick in alxuit eight-ami-forty
hours, with her bur of soap and the let
lei m her band, and reached her daughter
Sally s and No. 3 after all, having gone
i ! nd about -VK) miles; and that's the curi-..u.M-si
thing I ever met on my iK'it."

After much disappointment and many de
lays, the Abbe Moignot has succeeded iu rais
ing the large sum of money he asked for,
wherewith to d redae tho bottom of tho Red
sea. He is after Pbarouh's chariots and tbe
costly trappings of the Egyptian army. He
sees no reason why some of these relics
should not be recovered, even at tbe trouble
of removing the sand whicli has for centuries
overlaid them. He is enthusiastic in the hope
of fishing np solid dividends for tbe stock
holders in hu scheme, as well as of finding
much that is valuable to the scholar and the
archaeologist The cutcrprLs does not seem
