THE RURAL HEROES.
BAN PEGOLAN,
owner of a farm in
the village of
Eyvettes, is in high
good humor this
evening.
About him the dry
leaves are dancing
in the melancholy
autumn wind, and
the sun is darting
long, reddish rays
through the bare
boughs above; the sky is blue
as blue can be; and from
the woods rises a pungent, aromatic
odor. Jean Pegolan, sentient, through
his tough hide, of some small part of
all this poetry, this serenity of nature,
whips up the gray With a will and turns
her head homeward.
It is quite true, to be sure, that the
Prussians are marching on Paris, that
here they have sacked a village, there
burned a farm to the ground, and
further on, shot some poor, unoftensive
creature dead. But, I ask you, what dif
ference can that possibly make to Jean
Pegolan? Neither his house, nor his cat
tle, nor his crops, have suffered in the
least from invasion. He saw some of
the enemy at the neighboring town,
where he had Just been to sell some of
the produce of his farm, and, dear me,
he has not found that they are such
monsters. One must admit that
they are men like any others.
When he has passed the Green-Cross
and sees the village before him, with
its church steeple of gray slate and the
gilt weather vane shining in the sunset,
our honest farmer has a vision of the
steaming dish of soup which awaits him
on the table at home, that brings the
water to his mouth.
"Hi! Git up!”
But instead of "getting up” the gray
comes to a sudden standstill.
A Prussian estafette, in passing has
seized her bridle and sharply turns her
out of the way. Then, as Pegolan is too
slow in making room, he raises his whip
and slashes it across the farmer’s face,
from ear to ear.
Certainly Jean Pegolan has always
expressed the greatest respect for the
conqueror, but this time, rage gets the
better of him. He rises to his feet,
seizes one of the benches of the cart
and the Prussian rolls oft his horse the
next moment, with a broken skull.
The shadows are growing deeper
across the road, the woods are very
still, the moon is creeping up the
horizon, half hidden behind a transpar
ent veil of clouds.
r-egoian, wno is now iremDiing in ev
ery limb, looks furtively around him.
No one has seen the deed. His Prus
sian lies there in the ditch, kicking con
vulsively, faoe downward. As for him,
he will assuredly tell no tales!
“Come, git up! Hi”
And the gray, who scents her stable
from afar, starts off at a gallop.
They have all been pushed and locked
Into the church like a flock of sheep.
There they are, sitting in groups in
the nave, some very pale, others very
red, all silent, their throats contracted
by fright. A crude white light falls
from the windows of unstained glass
and throws large pale squares on the
blue peasants’ frocks or illumines piti
lessly some faceVon which abject fear
may be read in the drawn mouth and
pinched nostrils.
Faint heavy odors of autumnal foliage
come from the neighboring cemetery
and one hears the chirping of the spar
rows disputing among themselves
amidst the gravestones.
The night before, a Prussian patrol
had found, near the Green-Cross, the
body of a murdered hussard. It is nec
essary to make an example. And so,
since dawn, a battalion of chasseurs
have invaded the village, and, by order
of the commanding officer, have im
prisoned within the church walls every
able-bodied man in the community.
The morning—until the stroke of noon—
has been given them to point out the
guilty one, or to make a personal con
fession; that hour passed, one of the
men will be picked out at random, and
the village turned down.
And it is now 11:30 o’clock.
Oh! If they only knew the murderer—
the assassin—the bandit—who has
brought all this upon them, while they
Were vegetating along tranquilly in the
midst of the ruins of their country; how
gladly and quickly would they, good
people denounce him! If necessary they
would wreak vengeance upon him with
their own hands. But they do not know
him; and meantime, the minutes hurry
on, and none dare take the initiative,
none assume the responsibility of sing
ling out the criminal.
He who could solve their perplexities,
who might cry: “I am the murderer, the
assassin, the bandit!”—he, Jean Pego
lan, is very careful not to breathe a
word.
He sits in the shadow of the confes
sional, with his sealskin cap drawn over
his eyes and his heart beating wildly
within him, and thinks of his wife, who
is so dainty and so kissable; of his cows,
who are ruminating at their stalls; of
his hay, all well stowed away in his
lofts, and he tells himself that to die
would be to leave that to all eternity,
that one only dies once, that he would
be very much of a fool to give himself
up to justice, and that after all, he
never killed the Prussian intentionally.
The reasonings suffice to quiet his con
science. If the choice happens to fall
on an Innocent man—well, my faith, it
cannot be helped. Every one is surely
bound to look after himself in this base
world.
Hark! the clock, a quarter to twelve.
Only a quarter of an hour left.
The last stroke dies away in slow
vibrations and silence hangs again un
der the high vaulted ceiling, like some
invisible presence. The heavy rhythmic
tread of troops approaching, then stop
ping, sounds from without. A hoarse
cry of command comes next, multitudi
nous guns strike the ground with a dull
A decision must be reached—and at
once.
Some one speaks a name—in a whis
per only—yet every oneheard it.
Then hastily, hurriedly, with the fev
erish eagerness of people who dread
death, everyone repeats it. Jean Pe
golan, the Eyvettes farmer, draws a
long breath. The name is not his.
It is that of a poor devil, half-wood
cutter, half poacher, a Red Republican,
who voted a “nay” at the last elec
tions.
He has a sick wife and three little
children, the eldest of whom can but !
barely walk, and these will be left with- i
out bread by his death. But that can
not be helped. Perhaps the fellow did
not do the deed. But then he was quite
capable of doing It. Besides, he Is only
a poor wretch, while they are all com
fortable farmers. In easy circumstances.
Justice above all things.
In vain does the poor wretch protest
his Innocence. The evening before he
was ailing—a wrench he got In felling
a tree. He had been on his bed, without
stirring, all day. They could make In
quiries. They would see that he had not
been out of his house. All In vain does
he throw himself at their feet, his voice
choked with anguish and fear. All in
vain does he invoke their pity. What
is to become of his children If he Is to
die? His wife will never equal the task
of providing for them.
No one answers. Pegolan, In his cor
ner, sits In cold perspiration, fearing
some change In opinion, some sudden
relenting. But the others are only too
happy to have come to some conclusion.
They ask but one thing now, to be
speedily rid of this man who moans
before them, tearing his hair, and re
proaching them for their ferocious
egotism, their monstrous cruelty.
The door Is thrown wide open, and
beyond it rises a forest of bayonets fill
ing the small square, and nearer to the
threshold the group of men charged
with the execution have gathered, and
the fatal instrument of death shines
again In the warm white light of the
moon.
And 12 o’clock strikes.
There Is a cry broken by a detona
tion, and the smoke clearing away the
body of the woodcutter and poacher is
seen lying on the steps of the church,
and stiffening there, while one by one
those men pass out beside It, the blood
staining the souls of their feet. And
the Prussian officers, with looks of
speechless contempt, turn away revolt
ed.
Jean Pegolan has gained his own
abode once more.
Heavens! But It is pleasant to be safe
at home again after such an adventure!
The chickens are clucking, and scratch
ing about In the barnyard, the pigeons
are cooing on the roof, the ducks are
waddling around a tiny pond that
shines Boftly in the sun; from the
stable, where the Prussians have not
entered, comes the mellow lowing of the
milch cows, and the gray’s strident
neighing forms a response. Sheaves of
wheat are piled up with a golden luxuri
ance, in the coach house, and the hay
In stacks, shows at all the windows of
the loft.
The farmer shakes himself; his clothes
are still moist with perspiration. He
enters the house and sees hlB wife In
tears on her knees beside the bed. She
starts up at the sound of his step and
standB before him, white as a spectre.
“What!” In a shrill voice. “You are
not dead?"
Pegolan, stunned by this singular re
ception, stares mutely.
“It was you who killed the Prussian
at Green Cross! Don’t deny It! I saw
the blood on your blouse this morn
ing.
”Sh’—eh! It’s true—but—don't de
nounce me, for pity’s sake!”
“Ah!” cried the woman with mutter
able disgust. “You needn’t be afraid
now! You know It’s too late, and you
have allowed another man to be shot
In your place?"
“It Isn’t my fault, Is It? I didn’t say
anything. It was the Mayor who picked
out the other one.”
Pegolan lets himself drop Into a chair,
with flaccid legs, and something like
remorse seizing him Inwardly. For one
moment his Infamy is borne in upon
JU
HE LAY DEAD.
him by the lightning flash of conscience.
Good Lord! One Isn't perfect. And as the
carriage that is bearing away his wife
to her father rolls out of sight he is
still sitting there, all upset.
But these Impressions wear away, lit*
tie by little. Evening comes on, and the
Prussians have left the village with fife
and drums, abandoning to their fate the
three children and wife of the wood
cutter, who will die of hunger. And Jean
Pegolan has recovered all his good
spirits.
What will you say?
His farm is safe!
GENERATOR GAS.
The English An Ahead of Ua aa Its
Utilizer!.
Though the use of ordinary lighting
gas Is customary in England in engines
up to ten horse power, for larger sizes
a small convenient apparatus has been
devised for the production of a gas that
cannot be used for illuminating pur
poses, but which gives very economi
cal results when burned in the engine
cylinder. This Is known as generator
gas, the best fuels from which to obtain
It being anthracite coal and gas coke,
as these yield no tar; the thermal ef
ficiency is also described as low, it
having about 160 heat units per cubic
foot, as compared with 615 to 630 of
London lighting gas, so that about four
times the quantity is required to in
sure the same amount of power, the
great quantity obtained, however, to
gether with the small amount of de
preciation and labor necessary for pro
duction, it is said, make it in many
cases comparable in cost to gas at 20
cents per thousand.
Fottnd a Petrified Cat.
Mr. Philip Wetzell, 1724 Eastern ave
nue, has a petrified cat which was found
In an old building In East Baltimore
a few days ago. The cat was found
by Mr. Joseph Smith between the plas
tering and the Joists of Brown’s cof
fee warehouse on Thames street, near
Bond street. The building has stood
there over one hundred years, and is
now being removed to make room for
another building.—Baltimore Sun.
NOTHINQ ESCAPES.
The Brlarem-LIke Clntche* of Fmik
Taxation,
The New York World says: How to
tax the people sufficiently to meet the
governmental and military expenses,
without burdening them beyond their
power of endurance, Is a task which
gives sleepless nights to the statesmen
and lawmakers of every nation In Eu
rope, and Is the cause of countless bitter
discussions In the various parliament
ary bodies of the old world. The French
Senate and Chamber of Deputies have
finally finished their tinkering with the
budget, and the members have gone
home to rest. The result of their labors
Is set forth In a recently published re
port addressed to the Minister of the In
terior, In which there are some curious
statistics. The tax on dogs brings In 8,
600.000 francs, and Is Imposed on 2,847,000
canines of all breed and conditions, from
the two Chinese edible dogs owned by
Walbeck-Rosseau the statesman—which
are the only ones on the continent of
Europe—down to the swarms of dogs
without pedigrees which are among the
highest prized possessions of the poor In
Southern France as well as elsewhere In
the world. The tax on clubs aggregate
1.440.000 francs, which are divided among
about 5,000 such organizations, made up
of 283,400 members. Billiards and check
ers are enormously popular games In
France, and the 94,000 places where the
former diversion may be enjoyed put 1,
100.000 francs Into the governmental cof
fers. Checker playing Is not taxed,
though attempts have been made to ren
der that game a source of revenue. The
quarter of a million bicycles In France
pay the State nearly 2,000,000 francs In
taxes. Two hundred and ninety-nine
out of the 2,000,000 wheels, however, are
growing rusty In the rooms of "ma
tante,” the Mont de Plete. Here, by the
way, seems to be a new and untllled lit
erary field. Several touching poems
have been written regarding the sor
rows of Arabs, elderly ladles and other
people when forced to sell a beloved
horBe, but no one has yet portrayed In
verse the bitter pangs an ardent cycllBt
feels when lack of cash forces him to
deposit his wheel as collateral security
for a loan. Finally, the tax on horses
and vehicles is an annual resource of
16,000,000 francs. There are 1,156,000
horses, 363,180 carriages which go on
four wheels, and 1,068,130 which roll
upon two.
DEVELOPING PRINTS.
New and Interesting Method of Doing
the Work Lately Discovered.
A valuable paper has been read before
the photographic section of the Ameri
can Institute by H. J. Newton, explain
ing a W»w and lifterestlng method of
developing photographic prints on
paper With coal tar products In alka
line Botattons. He expresses the belief,
from observation and the Investigations
he has made. that prints resulting by
development from bromide of sliver are
absolutely permanent. The bromide
paper Was first made In Europe, and the
first prints were on Imported paper.
An Important consideration, of course.
Is the keeping quality of such paper be
fore using as well as after; and as to
this the statement Is made that sam
ples have been kept some three years
and a half without any sign of deteri
oration being exhibited, the manufact
urers also declaring that the material
when five years old Is as good as when
first made. Different alkalies do not
perform or produce a uniform effect on
paper manufactured at different estab
lishments. Again, the carbonates pro
duce a browner black than the caustic
alkalies. But the beauty of a print will,
after all, depend to a certain extent
upon the bromide In the developer—par
ticularly noticeable being the effect of
an addition of bromide of soda to the
developer.
METALLIC YARN
Carpets Now Being; Made by Aid of Such
Material.
The durability of carpets is now made
greater, It is said, by the introduction
of metallic yarns in the fabric, greater
strength being thus assured than by the
Blmple use of yarns made from animal
or vegetable fibres, the idea being, brief
ly, the foundation of a metal coating on
an Inferior surface, and weaving the
strands in certain proportions. A non
oxldizable metal is employed, and this is
dissolved and applied to the surfaces of
threads, rendering them like metal in
appearance and general characteristics;
the metallic composition is said to con
sist of aluminum, borax, alum, litharge
and wax, these, combined with white
lead and one or two other substances,
producing a metallic coating that is flex
ible and soft as common paint would be,
yet to all appearances the covering Is
similar to metal, very much resembling
aluminum. Various substances are
adapted for the core or body of the
thread, such as wood, pulp, Jute, cotton,
flax, etc., and the metallic coating is
applied to the yarns automatically, the
device for this purpose consisting of a
chamber in which the ingredients are
placed and through which the yarns are
drawn, the coating adhering to the sur
face of the threads.
Naptha for Scouring.
The employment of naphtha as a
cleansing substance In the scouring of
wool is a new method favorably com
mented upon by the scientific papers.
By the use of a pump the naphtha Is
forced through and through the wool,
extracting all the natural oil, it being
also claimed that the naphtha does not
injure the flbre of the wool, as does
alkali cleansing, but leaves the fleece
In an actually better condition than
when cleansed by any other process. A
further valuable feature mentioned of
this method is that the greece that Is
extracted from the wool in a pure state,
thereby becoming valuable as a medic
inal age«t or for a saponification Into
the purest of soaps. A plant following
this method is said to have scoured 500,
000 pounds of wool and had saved a
product of SO,000 pounds In pure wool
oil.
Pump or Drown.
The Dutch are not fond of lazy peo
ple, and they have a very good way of
curing persons who can but won’t work.
If a pauper who Is able to work refuses
to do so, they put him In a cistern to
which a pump is attached, and turn on
a stream of water. This stream flows
In the cistern just low enough to enable
the lazy person by lively pumping to
keep the water from getting up over his
1 head.
the old teaser.
A Venerable Side-Wheeler Which Dm
Seen Much Service.
One more round trip of the Mlramlchl
between Montreal and the Gulf ports
and the stanch old boat's life work will
have ended, says the Montreal Star.
The quaint stde-wheeler of the fashion
of a generation ago will give place to
the modern twin-screw steamship
Campana, which Is even now on her
way down the canal. The early history
of the Mlramlchl Is unique Inasmuch
as she was designed for an entirely dif
ferent trade from the peaceful one she
has followed since the early 70's. She
was built at London, England, in ISM
by J. Penn and was christened the
Teaser. For whom she was originally
built Is not known. This wub kept a
secret, no doubt, for the reason that
her intended trade was of a seml-pl
ratlcal nature. She was designed for
a blockade runner between southern
ports of the United States and Europe.
In that year—1864—the war of the re
bellion was at Its height and the navy
of the United States had completely
blocked all traffic between the rebel
ports and Europe. The speed of the
Teaser was about sixteen miles per
hour, which was accounted very fast In
those days, and It was thought that she
could outsail the ships of the United
States navy. She was captured, how
ever, on her first trip, as she was try
ing to get out of a blockaded southern
port with a cargo of cotton. After the
close of the war In 1866 she was sold by
the United States government and for a
time was employed In the Gulf of Mex
ico between New Orleans and Galves
ton. Coal being very expensive, this
did not prove a paying Investment and
she was laid up In New Orleans until
1872, when her present owners, the
Quebec Steamship company, purchased
her. Alterations, such as the deck
houses, etc., have since been made.
Her boilers were renewed six years ago,
though the engines are the same as
when she was built. She has made 800
round trips to the lower ports, which
aggregate over 600,000 miles, and In all
her service has never lost a life.
8HOBS OF THE SEASON.
All Hindi and Sort! Dnl|iud for the
Various Phases of Bumiher Life.
The walking boot par excellence la a
reflection of good sense, and one more
additional evidence that the present
generation are In many things wiser
than their elders were. The favorite
foot-covering Just now Is the Juliet or
Diana shoe, with a graceful instep, elas
tic sides, and Shapely yet solid heel.
These come In finest French kid and In
russet kids and leathers of various qual
ities. Large invoices of shoes are dis
played designed for the wear and tsar
of rambles and climbing In country or
mountain. These shoes are made of
the softest and finest of French calf.
They are far better for outing uses than
shoes of any other sort, and when black
ened shine like satin. They are comfort
able yet attractive Improvements of the
regular common-sense boot, with Its un
necessarily heavy and ungainly heel
and sole. For carriage wear are some
very stylish and elegant models, Includ
ing those made of black satin, patent
leather with black moire tops, russet
colored and gray undressed kid, and
bronre kid with brown tips. The fancy
for low shoes over black or dark silk
hose will be as general as ever this sea
son. The Juliet styles are their only ri
vals. For house and full-dress wear th9
low-cut Dieppe sandal of black satin or
black French kid tipped with Jet is very
fashionable abroad. Colored kid slippers
matching the evening toilet, contrary to
reports concerning them, are not re
garded as expressions of elegance, and
have given place to the Dieppe sandal.
With the exception of Jet, bead adorn
lngs on slippers have entirely disap
peared from the season’s fashionable ex
hibit. Laced shoes of white canvas with
white kid tops are still popularly worn
with duck, pique and Holland costumes
on land and sea. For country uses and
for tennis are some natty little outing
boots, laced with silk cords and finished
with finely corrugated soles.
Coloring Soap.
According to the Scientific American*
a very radical change has taken place
lately In the coloring of soap—that Is,
until a comparatively recent time min
eral colors were exclusively employed,
but the advance In the tar color In
dustry has brought about the change.
A very prominent advantage noted in
respect to mineral colors Is their sta
bility, not being altered or In any way
effected by exposure to light, an ad
vantage, however, which is offset In
many cases by the remarkably beauti
ful effect of numerous aniline colors,
and by the mure difficult method of
application In the case of the former;
the specific gravity of mineral colors
being rather high In most cases, they
naturally tend to settle toward the bot
tom, necessitating crutchtng of the soap
until It is too thick to drop the color;
but for mottled soap, cinnabar, or ver

Ornamental Class Products.
Various experiments In glass manu
facture are reported In French papers,
among these being an attractive de
scription of ornamental products, the
process, as will be seen, being charac
terised by extreme simplicity. The sur
face, as described, is first ground either
by the sand blast or the ordinary meth
od, and Is then covered with a sort of
varnish; on being dried, either In the
sun or by artificial heat, the varnish
contracts strongly, taking with it the
particles of glass, to which It adheres,
and as the contraction takes place along
definite lines, the pattern produced by
the removal of the particles of glass re
sembles very closely the branching
crystals of frost work. The pattern
may be varied in character by changing
the thickness of the film of varnish, a
single coat giving a small, delicate ef
fect, while a thin film, formed by put
ting on two, three, or more coats, con
tracts so strongly as to produce a large
and bold design; by using colored glass,
a pattern In half tint may be made on
the colored ground._
