)BY Au&M C°Ny/ay. INTERNATIONAL PFESS ASSOCIATION. PART I. WISH I had the courage to begin this tale by turning to my professional visiting books and, taking at random any month out of the last twenty Si* * year8> 8lve lts rec' ord as a fair 3am '* pie of my ordinary work. The dismal extract would tell you what a doctor’s —I supose I may say a successful doc tor's—lot is, when his practice lies in a poor and densely populated district of London. Dreary as such a beginning might be, it would perhaps allay some of the Incredulity which this talo may probably provoke, as it would plainly show how little room there is for things Imaginative or romantic in work so hard as mine, or among such grim realities of poverty, pain, and grief, as those by which I have been surrounded. It would certainly make it appear extremely unlikely that I should have found time to imagine, much less to write, a romance or mel odrama. The truth is, that when a man hao toiled from 9 o’clock in the morning until 9 o'clock at night, such leisure as he can enjoy is precious to him, especially when even that short respite is liable to be broken in upon at any moment. Still, in spite of the doleful picture I have drawn of what may be called “the dally grind,” I begin this tale with the account of a holiday. In the autumn of 1864 I turned my back with light good-will upon London streets, hospitals and patients, and took my seat in the North ExprosB, The first revolution of the wheels tsent a thrill of delight through my jaded frame. A joyful sensation of freedom came over me. I had really got away at last! Moreover, I had left no ad dress behind me, so for three blessed weeks might roam an undisputed lord of myself. Three weeks were not very many to take out of the fifty-two, but they were all I could venture to give myself; for even at that time my practice, If not so lucrative as I could wish, was a large an Increasing one. Having done a twelvemonth’s hard work, I felt no one In the kingdom could take his holiday with a con science clearer than mine, so I lay back In a peculiarly contented frame of mind, and discounted the coming pleas ure of my brier respite from labor. Thero are many ways of passing a holiday—many places at which it may <be spent; but, after all, If you wish to enjoy it thoroughly, there is but one royal rule to be followed. That is, .simply to please yourself—gp where you like,'and mount the innocent holi day hobby which is dearest to your jae&rt, let its name be botany, geology, 'etymology, conchology, venery, pisca ftion, or what not. Then you will be thappy, and return well braced up for the battle of life. I knew a cltv clerk •with literary tasteo, who invariably spent his annual fortnight among the mustiest tomes of the British Museum, and averred that his health was more {benefited by eo doing than If he had passed the time Inhaling the freshest sea-breezes. I dare say he was right In bis assertion. Sketching has always been my favor ite holiday pursuit. Poor as my draw ings may be, nevertheless as I turn them over in my portfolio, they bring, to me at least, vivid remembrances of many sweet and picturesque spots, happy days, and congenial companions. It Is not for me to say anything of their actual merits, but they are dear to me for their associations. This particular year I went to North Wales, and made Bettws-y-Coed my headquarters. I stayed at the Royal Oak, that well-known little inn dear ko many an artist's heart, and teem ing with reminiscences of famous men Who have sojourned there times with out number. It was here I made the acquaintance of the man with whose life the curious events here told are connected. On the first day after my arrival at Bettws my appreciation of my liberty was so thorough, my appetite tor the enjoyment of the beauties of nature so keen and insatiable, that I went so far and saw so much, that when I returned to the Royal Oak night had fallen and the hour of dinner had long passed by. 1 was, when my own meal was placed on the table, the only occupant of the coffee-room. Just then a young man eptered, and ordered something to cat. The waiter knowing, no doubt, some thing of the frank camaraderie which exists, or should exist, between the followers of the painter's craft, laid his cover at my table. The newcomer seated himself, gave me a pleasant smile and a nod; and in five minutes we were in full swing of conversation. The moment my eyes fell upon the young man I had noticed how singular ly handsome he was. Charles Carriston —for this i found afterward to be his name—was about twenty-two years of age. He wao tall, but slightly built; his whole bearing and figure being re markably elegant and graceful. He looked even more than gentlemanly— he looked distinguished. Ills face was pale, its features well cut, straight and regular. His forehead spoke of high intellectual qualities, and there was somewhat of that development over the eyebrows which phrenologists, I be lieve, consider, as evidence of the poa session of imagination. Tho general expression of his face was one of sad ness, and its refined beauty was heightened by a pair of soft, dark, dreamy-looking eyes. It only remains to add that, from his attire, I Judged him to be an artist— a professional artist—to the backbone. In the course of conversation I told him how I had classified him. He smiled. "I am only an amateur,” he said; "an idle man, nothing more—and you?” “Alas! I am a doctor.” Then we shall not have to answer to each other for our sins in painting.” We talked on pleasantly until our bodily wants were satisfied. Then came that pleasant craving for tobacco which, after a good meal, is natural to a well-regulated digestion. "Shall we go and smoke outside?” said Carriston. "The night is delic ious.” Vie went out and sat on one of the wooden benches. As my new friend said, the night was delicious. There was scarcely a breath of air moving. The stars and the moon shone brightly, and the rush of the not far distant stream came to us with a soothing mur mur. Near us were three or four jovial young artists. They were In merry mood; one of them had that day sold a picture to a tourist. We listened to their banter until, most likely growing thirsty, they re-entered the inn. Carriston had said little since wo had been out of doors. He smoked his cigar u “nd gazed up at the shies. With the white moonlight falling nn nw strikingly beautiful face—the grace ful pose into which he fell—he seemed to be the embodiment of poetry. He paid no heed to the merry talk of the artists, which so much amused me— indeed, I apubted if ho heard their voices. Yet he rm.at have done so, for as 1 Boon as they had left us he came out of his reverie. “It must bo very nice," he said, "to : have to make one’s living by art.” 1 "Nice for those who can malts liv- ' ings by it,” I answered. 1 “All can do that who are worth it. ' The day of neglected genius has gone by. Muller was the last sufferer, I 1 think—and ho died young.” “If you are so sanguine, why not ' try your own luck at it?” ' “I would; but unfortunately I am a 1 rich man.” I laughed at tills misplaced regret ^ Then Carriston, in the most simple way, told me a good deal about himself. 1 He was an orphan, an only child. He had already ample means; but Fortune 1 had still favors in store for him. At the death of his uncle, now an agerl man, he must succeed to a large estate * »nd a baronetcy. The natural, unaf- ' rected way in which he made these 1 mnfldences, moreover made them not, I knew, from any wish to increase his 1 Importance in my eyes, greatly im pressed me. By the time we parted * for the night I had grown much inter ssted in my new acquaintance—an in- ‘ terest not untinged by envy. Young, 1 handsome, rich, free to come or go! 1 work or play as he listed! Happy Car- 1 riston! AM DISPOSED TO think that never before did a sincere friends hip, one which was fated to last unbroken for years, ripen so quickly as that be tween Carrlston and myself. As I now look back I find it hard to associate him with any, even a brief, period of time subsequent to our meeting, dur ing which he was not my bosom friend. I forget whether our meeting at the same picturesque spot on the morning which followed our self-introduction was the result of accident or arrange ment Anyway, we spent the day to gether, and that day was the precursor of many passed In each other’s society. Morning after morning we sallied forth to do our best to transfer the same bits of scenery to our sketching blocks. Evening after evening wo returned to dine side by side, and afterward to talk and smoke together, Indoors or out doors as the temperature advised or our wishes inclined. Great friends wo soon became—In separable as long as my short holiday lasted. It was, perhaps, pleasant for each to work in company with an ama teur like himself. Each could ask the other’s opinion of the merits of the work done, and feel happy at the ap proval duly given. An artist’s standard of excellence Is too high for a non-pro fessional. When he praises your work ; he praises it. but as the work of an out sider. You* feel that such commenda , tion condemns it and disheartens you. However, had Carriston cared to do so, I think he might have fearlessly submitted his productions to any con scientious critic. His drawings were Immeasurably more artistic and power ful than mine. He had undoubtedly great talent, and I was much surprised ■ to find that good as he was at land scape, he was even better at the figure. Ho could, with a firm, bold hand, draw rapidly the most marvelous likenesses. 1 So spirited and true were some of tl^ ctudles ho showed me, that I could i without flattery advise him, provided 1 he could finish as he began, to keep. entirely to the higher branch of the art. j I have now before me a series of out- | j line faces drawn by him—many of | ! them from memory; and as I look at I them the original of each comes at once before my eyes. From the very first I had been much Interested In the young man, and ae day by day went by, and the peculiari ties of his character were revealed to me, my interest grew deeper and deep er. I flatter myself that I am a keen observer and skillful analyst of ,,er sonal character, and until now fancied that to write a description of Its com ponent parts was an easy matter. Yet when I am put to the .proof I find it no simple task to convey in words a proper idea of Charles Carriston’s men tal organization. I soon discovered that he was, I may uay, afflicted by a peculiarly sensitive nature. Although strong, and appar ently in good health, the very changes of the weather seemed to affect him al most to the same extent as they affect a flower. Sweet as hie disposition al ways was, the tone of his mind, his spirits, his conversation, varied, as It were, with the atmosphere. He was full of imagination, and that Imagina tion, always rich, waa at times weird, even grotesquely weird. Not for one moment did he seem to doubt the sta bility of the wild theories he started, or the possibility of the poetical dreams he dreamed being realized. He had his faults of course; he was hasty and im pulsive; indeed to me one of the great est charms about the boy was that, right or wrong, each word he spoke came straight from his heart. So far as I could judge, the whole organization of his mind was too high ly strung, too finely wrought for every day use. A note of joy, of sorrow, oven of pity, vibrated through it too strongly /or his comfort or well-being. (Vs yet It had not been called upon to bear the test of love, and fortunately— 1 use the word advisedly—fortunately no was not, according to the usual sig nificance of the word, a religious man, <r I should have thought it not unlikely hat some day he would fall a victim to hat religious mania so well known to ny professional brethren, and have de veloped hysteria or melancholia. He night even have fancied himself a mes lenger sent from heaven for the re soneration of mankind. From natures ike Carriston’s are prophets made. In short,<1 may say that my exhaust ye study of my new friend’s character 'esulted In a certain amount of un taslness as to his future—an uneasl ieBs not entirely free from professional iuriosity. Although the smile came readily ind frequently to his lips, the general >ent of his disposition was sad, even lespondent and morbid. And yet few roung men’s lives promised to be so ileasant as Charles Carriston’s. I was rallying him one day on his tlture rank and its responsibilities. “You will, of course, be disgustingly lch,” I said. Carrlston sighed. “Yes, if I live long nough; but I don’t suppose I shall.” “Why in the world shouldn't you? fan look pale and thin, but are In cap tal health. Twelve long miles we have talked to-day—you never turned a lair.” Carrlston made no reply. He seemed n deep thought. "Your friends ought to look after you ,nd get you a wife,” I said. “I have no friends," he said, sadly. No nearer relation than a cousin a ;ood deal older than I am, who looks ipon me aa one who was born to rob ilm of what should be his.” “But by the law of primogeniture, 0 sacred to the upper ten thousand, e must know you are entitled to it." “Yes; but for years and years I waa lways going to die. My life was not hought worth six months’ purchase, ill of a sudden I got well. Ever since hen I have seemed, even to myself, 1 kind of interloper.” “It must be unpleasant to have a man onglng for one’s death. All the more eason you should marry, and put othef Ives between him and the title.” , (TO BS COXTISUBD.I A Novel Plan of Boildinc. A German inventor has built a house it hollow tubes, whose advantages are, le says, a constant temperature, and in ldentally etrength, comfort and beau y. He first put up a frame of water ubing, allowing continuous clrcula lon to a stream of water. Around Lhis frame he put his house in the irdinary way. The peculiarity is that ill floors and ceilings are crossed and recrossed by the water pipes. The water, having passed through horlzon .al tubes under the floors and ceilings, passes through the vertical tubes un ;il all have been gone through. In the summer fresh, eool water circulates un der pressure through the net work of tubes, cools oft the walls, and after having run its course, flows consider ably warmer than when it entered. In its course it has absorbed much heat, which it carries away. During the long and severe winter the water entering through the basement is first heated to nearly i.00 degrees and then forced through the ceiling. Of course much I of the heat Is left all over the house. I end at the outlet the temperature of j the water Is about 40 degrees. The , speed of the circulation of water can ; be regulated, so as to allow fixing a i certain temperature, equal throughout ! the building. Dumb Ones Kvery Four Years.

The new Invention, tectorium, la a translucent. Infrangible substitute foi window glass and such as is used foi skylights, conservatories, verandas, sterm windows, transparencies of vari ous kinds and in street windows where it is desirable to admit the light while excluding observation from without, says the Philadelphia Times. It was invented twenty or twenty-five years ago-, received medals at the Antwerp exposition of 1885 and other interna tional exhibitions and was the ma terial adopted for the roof windows oi the London aquarium, which have an area of 97,600 square feet. Tec torium is a sheet of tough, insoluble EUE>—said to be bichromated gelatin— about one-sixteenth of an inch in thickness, overlying on both sides a web or network of galvanized iron or steel wire, the meshes of which are one eighth of a square inch. Both surfaces of the tectorium in ordinary use are ap parently covered with a varnish of boil ed linseed oil and it feels and smells similar to the oiled silk that is used in surgery and for sweatbands in sum mer hat3. It is lighter than glass of equal thickness, is tough, piiant and practically indestructible by exposure to rain, wind, hail or any shock or blow which does not pierce or break the wire web by a violent thrust. It may be bent in any desired form and fastened In position by crimping, nail ing or with putty, like ordinary glass and when punctured may be repaired. Its translucence is about the same as that of opal glass; its color, a green ish amber yellow, which fades gradu ally to white from exposure to the sun, so that while arresting the direct rays of sunshine it transmits a soft, modu lated light which is said to be well aoaptea to hothouses ana conserva tories. It is a poor conductor of heat and cold and thus preserves a more equitable temperature than glass in rooms containing growing plants. Its surface is well adapted for painting in oil colors and is used for illuminated windows, signs and transparencies in which strength, lightness and immun ity from breakage are essential, espe cially in arched, curved or irregular surfaces. The only objections which are urged against tectorium are that it. is more or less inflammable and that in very warm weather the outside surface is somewhat softened until dust will adhere to it, but this may be removed by wiping or washing, a service that Is usually performed by the rain in exposed situations. POLICEMAN SAVES A BOY. The Lad Was About to Be Crushed by a Car. Ten thousand people cross Broadway at Fulton street six days a week, and many have narrow escapes from being run down by cable cars and trucks that [am the thoroughfare at that point, says the New York World. One of them yes terday was 10-year-old Harry Fox of 100 Washington street, who tried to cross the street with his arms full of newspapers. At the same moment cable car No. 8 came bowling along uptown. "Look out!” yelled half a dozen men in the same breath. The boy jumped iust as the car bound the other way bore down on him. A cry of horror went up from the eyewitnesses. They expected to see the boy lying mangled an the track when the two cars rolled by. Instead there lay Policeman Wil liam Schrieber of the Old Slip station, at full length between the tracks, un conscious. Clasped tightly to his breast was the boy, frightened half to death, but not a hair of his head hurt. The policeman was carried into a store on the corner, where he soon revived. "Where is the boy?” were his first words. They told him he was unhurt and full of gratitude for the police man’s brave act. Schrelger explained , that just as he clasped the boy in his arms to lift him out of harm’s way the handle-bar of car No. 8 hit him on the shoulder and threw him violently to the ground. Before consciousness left him, Schreiber said, he made a strenuous ef fort to fall so that he might lie between 1 the tracks. His head was badly bruised ' and his shoulder sprained, but beyond that he declared that his injuries were too trifling to report himself ill, so he went back to duty. The crowd cheered the plucky blue-coat again and again, and many passers-by stopped long enough to shake his hand. Schreiber has been on the force fifteen years, and has an excellent record. A Story of Sir H. W. Richardson. One of the best known stories in con nection with the late Sir Benjamin Ward Richardson’s advocacy of temper ance tells how he had been on a visit to one of the three or four small towns in England which have no public house. Although there were 4,COO peo ple there the doctor was nearly starv ing. One day a young medical man came to Sir Benjamin for advice as to taking the practice and Sir Benja min, placing his hands on the young doctor’s shoulders, said: “Take my ad vice, and don’t. Those wretched teeto talers not only shirk accidents, but, when wounded, heal so fast that there ; is neither pleasure nor profit after the i first dressing.”—Westminster Gazette. I Where the Money Wont. i The vicar of a rural parish who had waxed eloquent on the subject of for eign missions one Sunday, was sur prised on entering the village shop dur ing the week to bo greeted with marked cooinr.is by the worthy dame who kept it. Cr, seeking to know the cause the good woman produced a coin from a drawer, and throwing it down before the vicar, exclaimed: “I marked that holy crown and put it in the plate last Sunday, and here it is back again in my shop. I knowed well them niggers never got the money.” . The Livery of Btllousness | Is a pronounced yellow. It is visible In the countenance and eyeballs.

(From Omaha Christian Advocato.) There is no one in Omaha or vicinity who has not heard of Mr. N. J. Smith, founder of Rescue Home. He has for a number of years devoted a large share of his time to the work of rescuing the fallen, furnishing aid to those in distress and helping in every way possible those in trouble. He has been in poor health for several years, butall will be pleased to learn that his health is now much better and he is ablo to tako activo charge of the mission work, to which he now devotes his entire time.
