3laii1ng a Stamp.
- ; < ' How many people know how to mail
a stamp in a letter. ? Nina people out
of ten stick it so carefully down that
,
the recipient always loses his temper , !
, j and generally the stamp , in the effort
to release it. It is really more exas 1
perating than when the sender forgets I
s "
altogether rho stamp he should have
enclosed , for then , at. least , it is not
wasted. Even the most extravagant
of us seldom have souls above saving
k , a stamp , for it is , strangely , far dearer
_ . . to us than the .2 cents it represents.
j .pr The tenth person' sends it loose , which
is well enou h provided it does not
slip out unsee and vanish , as these
totally depraved small things have a
habit of doing. The proper wayy is a
simple one. Cut with a sharp pen knife
two parallel slits at the ton of your letter -
ter and slip in your stamps , which will
thus travel as safely as if in a special
. papercase. Perhaps you have been in
, , a Country v' illabe cohere money orders
' and postal notes are unknown , and for
some reason it becomes necessary to
- . , , send change in a letter. Cut a piece of
'Yl ' light cardboard the size of the envel-
I - ape , and from this cut circular pieces
the size ofyour coins. Insert the corns
and paste a slip of paper across one or
both sides.-Demorest's

Best the Judge Could Do.
i Albany Times Union : A story is told
of a judge who lately had the hypnotic
plea raised before him by a burglar.
. The prisoner claimed that he did not
' know that he was "burgling ; " that he
. did it automatically and unconsciously
under the direction of a hypnotist.
The judge said he would give him the
full benefit of the law , and also of his
hypnotic misfortune. He therefore sentenced -
, . tenced the man to ten years in the
' state prison , but told him he could , if
he chose , send for the hypnotist and
have himself made unconscious for the
term of his imprisonment.
"The same power , " said the judge ,
"which enabled you to committhe burglary -
glary , and not know it , ought also to
enable you to suffer imprisonmentwith
hard labor and not be aware of it. At
any rate that is the best I can do for
- you. "

were making our way to the railway

was shooting in line on my left suddenly -
' denly point his gun at something on
the 'round and fire and on asking
what it was he said it was a black
L cobra , and that he had shot it in two
pieces , the head portion disappearing
'down a hale. As we were in a
' hurry to catch the train we went
on , but very soon heard one of the
beaters calling out , and looking back
, 4 saw him running toward us with the
' ' head portion of the snake following
him with the hood expanded. It appeared -
peared that he had remained behind
trying to dig out the cobra , and the result -
sult was that it came out of the hole
an&went for him. Of course the snake
could not get much pace on and was
quickly killed. -

"No , sir ; we know very well that

CHAPTER L
A MALTESE GARDEN.
f IIL

Q 3.
S
HE ISLAND OF
iialta basked is
s p r Iii g sunshine.
The glow of light
: was intensely brilliant -
iant on rock and
rampart , after
weeks of rain , and
already suggested
the speedy ap
proacti of bhghteng
summer heat.
The harbor of Valletta wore the
usual aspect of European animation.
The Russian Corvette Ladislas had just
cast anchor , having on board a young
grand duke , who was making the tour
of the world in a leisui ely and princely
fashion. Mercantile steamers came
and went , amid puffing' tugs ,
launches and yachts , while the native
shore craft , the dhjaisos , darted about
laden with fresh fruit , or transporting
nimble tailors and washerwomen in
search of work Occasionally a torpedo -
pedo boat of sinister appearance
glided through the throng of shipping -
ping , and vanished in some adjacent
inlet , or the gig of a man-of-war cleft
a passage with rhythmical flash and
dip of oars , toward the quay.
One of the latter , quitting the side
of her majesty's ship Sparrow , recently -
ly arrived from Suda Bay , brought
Flag Lieutenant Curzon to the shore.
The young man made his way
through a poisy crowd , and ascended
the steps to the city of Valletta.
Below him stretched the sparkling
Mediterranean sea , and docks and
moles thronged with shipping. Above
him , towers , churches , palaces , with
quaint balconies and a margin of
stone wall , rose with a background of
blue sky. His eye was attracted by
wayside shrines at the angle of buildings -
ings , where lamps burned before saints
gaudily adorned , shops displaying fila-
gree ornaments of gold and silver , and
whole webs of Maltese lace , and
groups of soldiers , nuns and priests.
His nostrils were saluted by the fragrance -
grance of flowers , coffee and those
latent odors of the southern seaport ,
garlic , and fish frying iL oil. His ear
was stunned by the jangled peal of
church bells , mingled with the hum of
voices.
Lieut. Arthur Curzon was supple and
vigorous of form , and alert and decided -
cided in manner. His golden hair
curled tightly on a small and shapely
head , a closely trimmed beard framed
a handsome face , with clearly-cut
features , and lighted by a pair of keen
blue eyes , capable of a great variety
of expression. The sun-bronzed tint
of the cheek , below the margin of a
fair and open brow , revealed by the
removal of the cap , and certain accentuations -
centuations of resolution and maturity
gradually deepening around the lips ,
alone redeemed the entire physiognomy -
nomy from a youthful insouciance and
merry audacity which were eminently
attractive and boyish.
Climbing the stone steps from the
port to the old town on the height of
this most populous of islands , he may
have aptly represented that ,
The sword of war opens the way of commerce -
merce : "
Truly the officer was ready to cope
with any adventure or danger which
fate might have in store for him on
this day of fitful spring weather.
He came of a family noted for intrepid -
trepid courage and originality of mind
and charactei ! A commonplace world ,
of enthusiasm , pronounced the
race eccentric , perhaps a trifle mad.
Descended from Scandinavian sea
rovers , who had settled on the northern -
ern coast of Scotland centuries ago ,
the Curzons numbered prelates , soldiers -
diers , and faithful followers of the
Stuarts among their members.
The 'first object ever noticed by
Arthur Curzon in infancy had been the
portrait of an ancestor suspended
above the chimney-piece in his grand-
father's castle , wearing a helmet of
different colored metals , a gold chain
around the neck , and carrying a horn
of the chase , studded with precious
stones.
Lieut. Curzon had won honorable
mention atsthe storming of Alexandria -
dria , and aspired to promotion in the
service by fresh exertion , when oppor-
unity offered. For the rest , he was a
ailor on shore for a holiday.
He directed his steps to the Strada
7.ecca , and paused before a palace of
ember aspect , with a projecting roof
which cast a deep shadowon the pavement - -
ment below. The memory of the
gnights Templar seemed , to brood
over thiespot , undisturbed by modern
nnovation or change.
The visitor was met at the door by a
ervant with the intelligence that the
mistress of the house was absent on
n excursion. Nrs. Griffith had left
charming note , written on pink pa-
er , in three lines of gigantic feminine
hirography , urging the young officer
1 i
r
J
' o return for 5 o'clock tea in event of
his obtaining leave to come ashore
that day.
Lieut. Curzon read the note and consulted -
sulted his watch , which indicated the
hour of w. How should he while away
the time until the return of his cousin ?
He loitered in the shops and bought
a festoon of lace in a helpless , masculine -
line 'fashion , wherewith to cheer the
declining years of a maiden aunt ,
dwelling in a provincial town of England -
land , if permitted to escape the Malta
postoflice. He bethought him of a
bevy of little cousins in Devonshire ,
launching recklessly into the purchase -
chase of silver filagree crosses for
their benefit Zhen he decided to
stretch his limbs by means of a country -
try walk. '
Quitting the streets of Valletta the
young man soon left behind him the
encircling fortifications ; with a sense
of freedom in movement after the
cramping inaction of shipboard. The
unattractive aspect of the country
could not rob the spirits of the sailor
on shore of unwonted elasticity. Before -
fore him extended a gray and nearly
treeless region , broken by villages of
flat-roofed houses clustered about the
church with a dome. The intervening
spaces were chiefly subdivided by
stone walls , as a shelter from the wind
for the crops fostered in the soil
brought from Sicily.
The pedestrian paused at length ,
weary of the dusty highway. He
glanced wistfully in the direction of
the arid ledges of the shore , and the
sea beyond , which glittered in the sunshine -
shine , with changing tints' wrought
by passing clouds , and broke in white
foam amongthe rocks.
He chose a short cut to gain the
shore. If the measure led to 'trespass-
ing upon , his neighbor's ground , he
trusted to personal adroitness to extricate -
tricate himself from all embarrass-
ments.
He skirted a deserted chapel on a
ridge , and was descending the slope
beyond , when an object attracted his
keen eye , and brought him to a halt
in his rapid walk. A human hand
and arm ; clenched and rigid ,
as if in death , projected a from
the entrance of a half-
ruined structure in his path. Had the
arm not been thus extended , Lieut.
Curzon would have passed on without
noticing , especially the building.
Strange whim of destiny !
He approached and peeped into the
place. Shadows obscured the interior ,
but lee recognized a temple , probably
of the early PIux nician settlers of the
island , built of rough blocks of stone.
Traces of a primitive altar were discernible -
cernible , still adorned with the rude
idols of the twelve Children of the Sun ,
the Kabiri , once worshiped here.
The spot was silent , humid , chill , save
when a stray sunbeam filtered through
the pervading darkness to gild the
semblance of nearly effaced carvings ,
mere rudimentary hints of decoration ,
on wall and roof , or danced with a
flickering motion above the pavement ,
weaving a pattern of mosaic with
motes and shade.
An old man lay on his face , motionless -
less , and with a fragrant of marble
table overturned beside him on the
ground.
The officer's first suspicion was of
murder. Anticipating some accident ,
he lifted the victim of foul
play , as he supposed , and
speedily ascertained that no trace of
violence was perceptible , either on the
pinched'and slirivelecl features , white
hair , or small body. He was further
reassured when the old man gave utterance -
terance to a feeble groan , and opened
his eyes , with a manifest extort to , collect -
lect his thoughts , bewildered by an interval -
terval of insensibility.
"The place would not be safe , " he
muttered in English. "No ! No ! Far
from safe , this ruin. "
"Do you live near by ? If you can
pull yourself together a little I will
help you home , " said Lieut. Curzon ,
in a tone of encouragement.
The old man was silent. He passed
a trembling hand across his brow , and
then shaded his eyes , the better to examine -
amine the face bending over ] him ,
while his own features expressed a
scared surprise , agitation , and even
furtive suspicion and distrust

A N' OLD MAN LAY ON ills FACE.
"I have not the pleasure of knowing
you , " he retorted , after a pause , and
with perceptible petulance.
Lieut. Curzon smiled involuntarily.
"Shall I call your-people ? " he suggested -
gested , with unabated good humor.
"No. I musthave stumbled overthat
fragment of table. How did you find

me ?
His manner was more collected and
confident-but he eyed the stranger ;
{

askance as he struggled to regain an
upright posture.
"You have had a fainting fit , a vertigo -
tigo , I fancy , " said the officer , glancing -
ing around the spot , in the hope of
descrying some person to whom he
might consign the human burthen
thus unexpectedly cast upon his care.
No aid appeared.
The old man placed his hand on the
sleeve of his companion , as if to aid
his vacillating movements. Lieut.
Curzon was inspired by a sentiment -
ment of repulsion , mingled with the
compassion of the strong for the weak
The hand , thin and nervous , resembled
a , claw , and the fingers , infirm yet
groping , clutched at the muscular arm
of the sailor with a disagreeable tena'
city of hold. This member was the
same which had attracted his notice ,
stretched forth from the entrance of
the temple.
"Did I speak ? Did I say anything-
odd ? " demanded the old man , eagerly.
"Nothing of importance , " was the
brief rejoinder.
"People will seek here for traces of
the Greeks and the earlier Phcenieians ,
but there only remains rubbish , you
understand , absolute rubbish ! " Ha
broke off with a short laugh.
"Ahl" assented the other , drily.
The old man emerged from the
temple , still cliliging for support to
the opportune aid vouchsafed him by
chance. Lieut. Curzon , a trifle bored ,
submitted to the task of assisting him.
What did it matter , after all ? He had
to deal with a feeble and aged
creature , who was possibly a little
cracked as regarded brains , and who
had exceeded his strength pottering
about a ruin intent on archuologieal
research. Surely the old man's family
must have looked him up in time , even
if lie had not taken the direction of the
temple , and discovered the other fallen
in a swoon.
The pair traversed a considerable
distance , walking slowly and with
some difficulty. The old man
paused to rest occasionally , and
wiped the moisture from his temples
with his pocket handkerchief. He repeated -
peated , with a garrulous insistence , his
first assertion thatthe temple contained -
ed no relics and was wholly unworthy
of a visit on the part of a stranger.
The conviction was gradually forced
on the frank and unsuspicious mind of
the sailor , that lie inspired uneasiness

and fear in his companion , instead of
any sort of confidence. Why ? He
could not determine. He checked a
final allusion to the temple by a curt
denial of personal interest in the relics
of Malta. This decisive assertion was
possibly misunderstood by the weak =
ened faculties of age , as suspicion
seemed to increase rather than be al-
layed.
They wined a high wall , such as
elsewhere protected the fruit trees
from the sirocco , and a house , which
resembled a tower , was visible within
the inclosure.
As they approached , a voice , youthful -
ful and fresh , proclaimed in Italian-
t\Vhat would I like best as a fairy
gift , Dr. Giovanni Battista Busatti ?
Very well then , I should like to be
rich , veryy rich , incredibly rich ! I
might have a new dress in that case ,
and go to a ball. After my visit to the
Monte di Pieta ; you will understand
that , my friend. "
A man's voice replied , slowly and
distinctly , with a slight vibration of
emotion perceptible in the tone-
' You are already rich in beauty and
amiability , Signorina. "
A laugh , deliciously pure and silvery -
very , was the sole acknowledgment
vouchsafed for the compliment
An expression of amusement dawned
in the bright , blue eyes of Lieut.
Curzon.
On the other side of the garden wall
dwelt a girl who longed to go to a
ball. Was she pretty ?

How Bavarians Frighten Spirits.
In the little village of Egmanting , in
Bavaria , a curious nocturnal exhibition -
tion has just taken place. A few
minutes after midnight there sudden-
Is appeared in the village a party of
150 armed men , mostly peasant proprietors -
prietors , driving apparently some
imaginary specters before them.
Presently every man discharged his
firearm. Many of the inhabitants who
were indoors , behind strong barriers ,
trembled at the thoughtof the carnage
that must have ensued.
Tlien a specially appointed person
recited the : Record of Deadly Sins" by
way of exorcising the spirits of evil
supposed to be hovering about. As a
rule , nobody dared venture out ; but
one more bold than his fellows did
open his door and expostulated against
such an unRarrantable disturbance of
the night But the firingparty heeded
him not. This ceremony of exorcising
the evil spirits from the village con-
tiuuecl for an hour. And as suddenly
as the party had arrived so suddenly
aid they disperse. There was a strong
smell of powder in the air , but not a
trace of brimstone.

The British Speaker.
The position of speaker of-the house
of commons is one of great difficulty.
He draws a salary of $5,000 a year , enjoys -
joys the use of a palace , gets a liberal
allowance for entertaining , and a peerage -
age on his resignation from office. It
is one of the unwritten privileges of
members of the house of commons to
dine with the speaker. The speaker's
dinners are held on Wednesdays and
generally compose a total of about
thirty members , so that taking the entire -
tire parliamentary session , all the members -
bers get their turn , starting with the
cabinet , then the leaders of the opposition -
tion , and then the rank and file. Until
1889 it was the custom to wear court
dress at these dinners ; that is , knee
breeches , velvet cutaway coats and
cocked hats , but in 1859 that rule was
swept away.-Washington Post.

Country Without a Paper.
A country without a newspaper is in
these days a curiosity indeed. Andorra
is believed to be the only civilized state
in the world in which not a single
newspaper is published. Andorra is a
little republic-about thirty-six miles
long by thirty broad-situated on the
south side of the Pyrenees , next the
Spanish Province of Lerida and the
French department of Ariege.
It is nominally under the protection
of France , but its 14,000 inhabitants
speak the Spanish language.

enterprising journalist.

What the Chicken Picked Up.
Colonel w. D. Bettis , of Orange , Tex. ,
has a valuable opal about the size of a
grain of peaberry coffee , that he wears
in a scarfpin. Yesterday he called up
a pet chicken and took 1t in one hand
while lie allowed it to pick some grains
of corn from leisotherhand. The chick-
: swallowed the half dozen grains
that were held out to it , and looking
about for more spied the opal and
struck it , but did not quite dislodge it
from the setting. As quick as a flash
the bird made another and more successful -
cessful grab at the stone , tearing it out
and swallowing it. The chicken was a
great pet in the family , but opals cost
more than chickens. A council of war
was called , and it was decided that the
opal must be found even at the cost of
a life , so about two hours later the
chicken was executed , and the opal was
discovered lodged in its gizzard.Gal -
