Youth is prone to extremes of feeling, and the sailor was very young in all matters of the heart “How very odd that I can not get the name of Dealtry out of my head!” said the Ancient Mariner, removing his hat and suffering the warm breeze to sweep over bis bald cranium, fringed with white locks “When I was in the Baltic a man-” “John, dear, put on your hat, or you will catch your death of cold,” inter posed Mrs. Filllngham with her usual decision of manner. The lady was in the best of spirits. She wore a hat of juvenile aspect and a metal belt with a whole arsenal of miniature daggers and pistols of silver attached. The Ancient Mariner slowly replaced his hat, with an expression of offended dignity- “I was about to remark, if you will allow me to finish, Mary-” “Yes, yes,” rejoined his helpmate, with her hurried lisp, while her pale blue eyes wandered abstractedly to ward the luncheon cloth spread on the ground at some paces distant. “Mrs. Griffith is waiting for us. Let me find a nice sheltered corner for you, dear, and some sherry. You must keep up your strength, you know. ” “Promise to preach us a sermon on St Paul at Malta,” said Mrs. Griffith to the clergyman. The hostess felt that transition from sacred to mundane matters might be too abrupt without such a suggestion. “Very good,” he replied, smiling. “I invite you all to my parish in Sur rey next summer to hear me preach about St Paul at Malta. . 1 fancy the ordeal will prove a sufficient punish ment for all small peccadilloes Promise to lunch with me at the Vicar age afterward.” In the general assent Captain Blake evinced marked fervor. Much desul tory talk and laughter ensued, amid the popping of corks and the .discus sion of cold fowl and ham, sandwiches and salad. The Ancient Mariner, with a Scotch plaid spread over his rheumatic knees, a plate of jellied beef before him, and a wine bottle at his elbow, had recov ered his amiability. “Get married in the heyday of youth,” he admonished. "Every man needs a wife to take care of him. ” The clergyman, who was a widower, sighed, and helped himself freely to mustard. Miss Ethel Symthe sat on a camp-stool, with Arthur Curzon on her right hand, and Captain Blake on the left. r. The latter, investigating the depths of a jar of potted tongue, remarked, “The worst of it is, Malta .is such a beastly hole to be stationed in. There’s nothing whatever to do.” “I find it very jolly,” said Arthur Curzon. Thereupon he sang, in a fine baritone voice, the ballad of Destiny. The Ancient Mariner listened with a sudden shadow of gravity on his face. • “Strange! Ilis father. Admiral Jack, had just such a voice.” he soliloquized. “Do you like that song?" demanded Capt lilake, sotto voee, of Mias Symthe, as he traced lines on the ground with the pointed end of the young lady’s parasol. "Bellowing is no name for it ” Then he added the soldier’s defiance of the discipline of the troop-ship, in a mocking falsetto— “And all about the * hip, Pm sure ’(would vex a ea'nt! Everywhere you wale or eit, They ling out, ‘Mind the paint.’ ” Miss Symthe declined to laugh at this sally, and proffered claret-cup to Arthur Curzon instead. Mrs. Griffith had 6aid to her friend when the man-of-war was coming into port. “I hope you two will like each other, Ethel. Arthur belongs to really very good people." Miss Symthe was prepared to like Lieut. Curzon. She had decked her self in a nautical toilet before her mir ror that morning, as an international tribute of flattery to the yonng man. She was a daughter of her century in all respects, and four-and-twenty years of age. She was. on. the whole, heart free, but she had passed through several London seasons, and ex perienced some cruel disillusiomneats The troop of rosy sisters emerging from the schoolroom beneath the paternal roof, in budding maidenhood, the pressure of public opinion, and the warnings of maternal ambition, rang the perpetual refrain in her ear, “Marry! Make a good match if possible, hut establish yourself in life at all hazards.” What more eligible field of conquest could he accorded an enterprising girl than Malta during the winter season, with the ranks of army and naval men to he met, and the occasional yachts men flitting about the Mediterranean on a cruise of pleasure? Miss Symthe had decided to make themostof her op portunities. Aware that the fair re cruit, sent out to India by aspiring relatives in quest of a husband, no longer invariably finds such a mate, while the social badge of spinsterhood, glorified or otherwise, possessed no attraction to the wearer of the straw hat, she set about achieving her end with that unflagging zeal, that un wavering determination, brooking no denial oa the part of subjugated man kind, for which the modern fashion able girl, whether at home or abroad, is often so remarkable. Woe betide the innocent rival who should cross the path of Ethel Symthe's purpose and thwart her aims! The heroine of many London seasons, deeply versed in feminine wiles, had one of Mrs. Barrett Browning's housewives in her bosom, well stocked with sharp nee dles and pins of jealousy and spite, ready to sting and prick a victim to pain. Capt Blake betrayed no pique at her defection, but entered upon a lively political skirmish with Mrs. Fillingham, who prided herself on her conservative acumen of judgment If the captain was a social wasp, moved at times to envy and malice, he sheathed his little weapon on the present occasion and gave no sign of irritation. r nenas m council aid me,” said Mrs. Griffith, eating a last pate with a fine appetite. The Russian grand duke has kindly promised to eome to me after dining with the governor. Of course, there must be a ball. I sent out the invitations this morning. How shall we amuse his highness? I have thought of some introductory dramatio entertainment before the dancing commencea Onr time is very short for preparations. What if we had a series of tableaux representing the early inhabitants of Malta receiv ing the royal guest?” ••Charming!” exclaimed Mrs. Fil lingham. “Give him a Cossack supper and show him our Crimean medals,” sug gested Capt Blake, facetiously. Mrs. Griffith threatened him with her finger. “I should require a beau tiful girl for the early Phoenician type,” she continued. •‘I know of one,” said Arthur Cur zon. impulsively. “Do you, really? That makes all the difference. Can you induce her to pose for us, Arthur?” “1 will try,” was the eager rejoinder. Mrs Griffith contemplated her cousin with interest Miss Symthe darted a swift glance at him of surprise and in quiry. “Is she beautiful?” the latter asked, with assumed carelessness , Lieut Curzon bit his lip. He wished that he had not again spoken of the in habitants of the Watch Tower, and yet the motive was a generous one, Doloi es longed to go to a ball. How strange it would be if the caprice might be ful filled in a swift and unexpected fash ion! “That is a matter of taste,” he said, warily. "At least 6he would serve as a foil for Anglo-Saxon beauty,” and his glance rested on Miss Symthe's golden hair and delicate complexion. "We need dark and rich coloring," said Mrs. Griffith, "Can 1 rely upon you, Arthur?” “You may rely upon me.” he replied gravely, suppressing a smile. "1 need the assistance of all of you,” concluded the hostess, rising. Then the remnants of the feast were packed in baskets and hampers by the attendant servants, and a last glance taken of St Paul’s bay by the pleasure seekers FOUND HIM MIS9 8YMTHB8 COMPANION. Returning homeward. Lieut Curzon found himself the companion of Miss Symthe. Mrs. Griffith smiled on the young people with her most benevo lent expression. The young officer, with a sudden ac cess of high spirits, and full of im patience to fulfill the mission intrusted to him. replied mechanically to the re marks of liis companion. She was of a conventional type of correct young ladyhood. He assured himself, with wearine-s, that he had met scores of girls just like her. He could define to a nicety, if so minded, her opinions on religion, society, politics, dress, town and country life. He did not attempt to analyze this change of mood, only the softly modulated accents of Miss Symthe in his ear bored him. (TO BE CONTINUED.) j Thk Lawyer Answered.—One of | Chicago's most prominent lawyers tells | a good story on himself. He says: “It was when I used to practice law in a little town near the center of the state. A farmer bad one of his neighbors arrested for stealing ducks, and I was employed by the accused to endeavor to convince the court that such was not the case. The plaintiff was posi tive his neighbor was guilty of the offense charged against him, because | he had seen the ducks in the defend ant's yard. ‘How do you know they are your ducks?’ I asked. ‘Oh, I should know my own ducks anywhere,’ re plied the farmer; and we went into a description of their different peculiari ties whereby he could readily distin guish them from others. ‘Why,’ said I, ‘those ducks can’t be of such a rare breed. I have seen some just like them in my own yard.’ 'That's not at all unlikely,’ replied the farmer, ‘for they are not the only ducks I have had stolen lately.’” Mrs. Watts—I saw in the paper the other day that it is impossible for a man to kick with full force when there is nothing to kick at Mrs. Potts—I’ll bet no married woman wrote that—Indianapolis Journal. .

Princess Mathilde is one of the few Catholics who are entitled to eat meat during Lent by a special decree of the pope. This dispensation was accorded to her under peculiar circumstancea When • the queen of Westphalia, the mother of Princess Mathide, paid a visit to Pope Pius IX, at the Vatican, the pope had a special “bull" drawn out for benefit, in memory of her visit, dispensing her from fasting during the whole of her lifetime. “Your holiness will pardon me," said the queen, "but I am entitled to eat meat at all timee, even without your holiness’ permission, for I am a Protestant" “Well, then, I will transfer the dispensation to your daughter Mathilde.’’ This was done, and the order remains in force to the present day—.Paris Debate.

A Peculiar Glass. The announcement made recently of a German method of producing glass which will transmit light freely, but no heat, is founded upon the following statement of details, presumably from the source of operatious: A plate of this material, one-fourteenth of an inch thick, containing 2.8 per cent of iron in the form described aB ferrous chlo ride. allowed only 4.0 per cent of radi ant heat to pass through it, while an other plate of equal thickness, and containing quite as much iron as ferric chloride, permitted 11.2 to pass. The chemical distinction is exceedingly small, but the effect is very marked. Using oxide instead of chloride,-and again having it in a ferrous condition, 1 per cent produced a glass huv'ing a faint blue tinge, but even more imper vious to heat than the other sample. A layer.332 inch in thlcknesB allowed only 0.4 per cent of a bat's wing gas flame to pass through, 0.72 of that from an argand burner, and 0.73 of the heat from a lime light, but it would trans mit 12 per cent of heat from sunlight, ordinary window glass, on the other hand, letting some 80 per cent through.
