THE CABIN ON THE CLAIM.
Lonely. you say? with mlvhty arch
Of sky so grandly bending?
By bright-Uued clouds and glittering stars
A tender messago sending?
Joyless? when out of crimson cloud
sunrise pours its glory,
Morn iiftor morn repeating well
Aurora's cheerful story?
Fenceless? when night with noiseless feet.
From tlelds of herbs and flowers,
Sweet odors in her mantle dark
Bears to this cot of ours?
Like faintest sounds of distant seas,
Pounding some castle hoary.
We hear the great world s roar and fret,
And trace her changeful story.
As far away whlfe gloaming sail,
Turning a bend of river.
A noble deed with radiant flash
Makes every heartstring quiver!
So. thankful, wuere the kindly.stars
Spangle the blue with beauty.
We look, and breathe the fervent wish,
That all may do their duty.
—Boston Transcript.
THE WHITE TOPAZ.
“Isn’t it strange, ma,” said Josie
Bellfield. “This key I have found on
the garret floor exactly fits the lock
of Mr. Wainwright’s funny little Jap
anese box?’
“You don’t say so!” said Mrs. Bell
field. “How do you know?"
Miss Josiphene reddened a little.
“Oh, I thought I would just try it!”
said she “and it works like a charm.”
“I should think you would bo
ashamed of yourself,” said Mary, the
youngest scion of the house of Bell
field, who with her head aureoled
around with a swooping cap was
“doing” the boarders’ rooms.
Mrs. Bellfield kept boarders and a
hard time she had of it, poor soul!
between exacting old ladies, capri
cious young ones, bad bills and an
inexorable landlord.
“Hold your tongue, Mary!” she
said, sharply. “Don’t you hear Miss
Parker’s bell? Run and answer it,
directly! Now that she’s gone, Josie,
what’s that about the key? I dare
say he’s dropped it himself.”
“No, ma; he always carries it on
his ring,” said Josephine, in a sepul
chral whisper. “Look! I’ve always
wondered what he has kept in that
box.”
wouldn't do any Harm, said
Mrs. Bellfleld, drawing a quick breath,
“to look into it just for the fun of
the thing."
“Now that Mary isn’t here,” whis
pered Josephine, as she turned the
key in the wards of the lock belong
ing to a quaint Japanese box or cup
board, erected on a rude writing ta
ble in the corner of Mr. Wainright’s
shabbily furnished bod-room. “La,
•ma! It’s as full of queer little drawers
and compartments as it can be! And
do look at these little flies and screws
and buzz saws and blades—the tiniest
things in the world!”
“I do hope he ain’t a counterfeiter,”
said Mrs. Bellfleld. . “Open that left
hand drawer, Josie; it’s full of funny
little tools—and oh, do see that big
diamond! doesn’t it sparkleP”
For out from a velvet-lined subdi
vision in the tool drawer flashed a
many faceted, glittering stone, seem
ing to create a sudden brilliancy in
the dusky corner.
“Well, I declare!” said Miss Jose
phine, with a vicious toss of the head.
“If he can afford to own a diamond
like that, I don’t see any sense in his
owing you a quarter’s board, ma.”
“He must be a regular miser, for
all he’s so young,” said Mrs. Bell
field, excitedly; “I wonder if it’s an
heirloom?”
“It must be very valuable, any
how,” said Josephine. “I say, ma,
do you suppose its a real diamond?”
“Why, of course it is! No imita
tion would sparkle so.”
“I’d like to have Peter see it.”
“Well, show it to him, then,” said
Mrs. Bellfleld. “You’ll have plenty
of time to run down to the store,with
it before Wainright comes back to
dinner.”
“Would you, ma, If you were me?”
“To be sure I would,” said the ma
tron. “Peter ought to be a judge of
precious stones, seeing he has stood
behind the counter of a jeweler’s
store for three years.”
“But, ma,” twittered Miss Jose
phine, “suppose he should find it out?”
“He won’t find it out. Do make
haste,” urged Mrs. Bellfield.
Mr. Puffit had just made an excel
lent sale of a triple-plated silver tea
set to an old lady from the country,
who did not know last years style
from this, when Miss Bellfield fluttered
in, all smiles and excitement.
“I just want to show you some
thing,” said Miss Bellfield, feeling in
the depths of her pocket. “Oh, here’s
the box; but the cover has come off.
How awkward! Where is it?”
There was the box, there ' was the
little piece of pink jeweler’s cotton,
there was the treacherous cover, but,
alas and alackaday! the glittering
stone was gone.
“What is it, anyway?” said the
puzzled Peter. “If it’s anything that
I can do-”
‘•Oh, it’s lost! it’s lost!” screamed
Josephine, and she straightway went
into hysterics.
Peter walked with her all the way
home, and tlieir two pairs of eyes
scrutinized every section of the pave
ment between the jewelry store and
the boarding-house but in vain.
Mr. Wainwright. came home to the
frugal dinner of the establishment,
and went away again without discov
ering that the Japanese box had been
tampered with, and it was not until
he had opened it in the evening, after
lighting his shaded lamp and making
every preparation for a long interval
of uninterrupted work, that he dis
covered that the great glittering gem
had vanished.
Inquiries wore useless. Policemen
searched the house and questioned
the maids; private detectives investi
gated the antecedents of the other
boarders so effectually that nearly all
of them promptly gave Mrs. Bellfield
notice; the great firm of Slime and
Sparkle, goldsmiths and dealers in
precious stones, sent their own confix
dontial agent to look into things.
It seemed that the gem had been
intrusted to Mr. Wainwright to cut
and polish at his own residence cn
account of his superior workmanship
and tho excellent reputation he sus
tained; that it was worth a great deal
of money, and could not possibly be
duplicated.
“Diamonds, indeed!” said Mr.
Oram, the confidential agent. “It’s
worth more than half the diamonds
in circulation. A genuine white
topaz. To be cut for the centre of
Mrs. Midas Moneybag's great tiara;
tho celebrated tiara that every one
has heard of. I’m afraid young
Wainwright will be ruined if it
doesn’t turn up. Our firm has every
right to prosecute, but owing to the
good character the man bears, we
give him the privilege of making
financial restitution. Twenty-five
hundred dollars is cheap for that
white topaz. It is absolutely un
matchable. Quite sui generis, if I
may use the expression. It is a good
deal of monoy—yes, but then it is the
price of Mr.Wainwright’s reputation.
Kdwin Wainwright had been a poor
man—poor in everything but honor
and ambition. Now he seemed to be
bankrupt in both. The white topaz
wa-t gone, and it was a literal impos
sibility for him to raise the sum
required for its ransom.
“I may as well shoot myself and
done with it.” thought he, sitting in
the dusk of the stuffy little room, un
pleasantly conscious that a detective
was watching the house from the op
posite side of the street, and one of
the other boarders had objected to
sitting next to him at supper. He
felt on the lower shelf of the cup
board; there was a six barreled re
volver there already loaded. JuBt as
he took it in his hand there was a
creak of the door, a soft rustling
across the floor, the sound of a key
grating cautiously in a lock—the lock
of a Japanese cabinet.
One spring from behind the heavy
brown moreen curtains, and hq was
close to the intruder
“Miss Bellfield, is it you?” He
started back with sheer amazement,
almost horror.
mary Dunneiu unerea a snrm cry.
“I thought you were gone out,” she
sobbed. “I—oh, Mr. Wainwriglst!”
as her eyes fell on the gleaming
barrel of the deadly little weapon—
“do not do that please. Here it is!
I've brought it back!”
“Brought what back?”
“The white topaz.”
She opened her hand and showed
him the white, glittering, cone
shaped thing that had already cost
him so dear.
“Mary, it was you, then?”
“It was not I,” she answered
quickly. “How dare you think such
a thing of me?”
Then she told him tho story of
Josephine and her chance-found key
—of how the jewel had been taken'
away, and how she had found it on
the hall floor, where it had evidently
been lost out of her sister’s pocket.
“I picked it up and brought it to
my own room, ’’she said. “I didn’t
want mother and Josephine to know
that I suspected or had overheard
anything. I was going to put the
stone bkek when I got a chance, but 1
Josephine had secreted the hateful
key, and I’ve just been able to get
possession of it. Oh, Mr. Wain
wright, forgive me for my silence, 1
but remember that I couldn’t betray 1
my own mother and sister!” 1
“It had nearly cost me my life,
Mary,”
The poor girl burst into tears and
sobs.
••Ana wnai nas it cost me?” she i
cried. “The sleepless nights, the
days of anguish and terror. Oh, Mr. i
Wainwright, if my folly had caused 1
your death, I should have died, too!'’ i
“Mary, you surely cannot mean”— :
But she had run away, covering i
her face with her hands, leaving the i
topaz in his possession. ]
So the matter came to an end, Mrs. <
Bellfield and her elder daughter never '
clearly understood how Edwin Wain- ]
wright was restored to the favor of ;
his employers, and on a considerable 1
increase of salary became engaged to i
Mary Bellfield; and the white topaz I
eventually shone and sparkled in the ■
very centre of Mrs. Midas Money- ,
bag’s grand tiara, where it belonged. !
Mr. Pufflt is still constant to Jo- I
sephine, but he discourages any I
further amateur tampering with locks ;
and keys. I
“It has an awkward look,” he says.

Mrs. Irons, matron of the well
known Irons boarding house—Ser
geant, I wish you would send a squad
of police down to my house as quick
as you can!
Police Official—Calm your excite
ment, Mrs. Irons. What is the
trouble ?
“We’ve got a burglar locked up in
the cellar!”
“How did he get in?”
“Through an outside window. We
heard him moving about in the cellar
and one of the boarders got up and
slipped outside and fastened the shut
ters tight, and the only door he can
get out at is locked. O, we’ve got
him!”
“Is there anything of value in vour

“Anything of value? There’s a

cold meat and—”
“How long has he been down

“Since about 4 o’clock. Nearly

HE LOST Ht9 BIO KITES.
Prof. Potter'* Aornplwne* Ball Skyward
N««r to KetUfUi
The gaze of Washingtonians who
happened to be on t.he streets about 4
o'clock tho other afternoon, sayB the
Washington Star, was directed heaven
ward. The sight of three great glitter
ing square things that looked some
thing like kites, something like bal
loons, and -yet were similar to neither,
created great curiosity. Many thought
that the problem of aerial navigation
had been solved and much Interest In
securing aa explanation oI the mystery
was manifested. The queer things
which were seen sailing along 2,000 feet
abeve the earth were Prof. Samuel Pot
ter’s aeroplanes, which had broken
loose from their attachments at Fort
Myer and appeared to be making a
bee line for one ef the planets. “Aero
plane^’ is the name given by the scien
tists ef the weather btlreau to the kites
with which they are now experiment
ing in order to gain a more thorough
knowledge of the conditions and cur
rents of the upper air. The day before
the weather man went- ever (he river
to continue the kite trials and instead
of the usual hempen rope there vans at
tached a line steel wire to the kites as
they were sent aloft They bad ascend
ed to a distance of over a quarter of a
mile, when the.strain on the wire be
came too great and it snapped. The
kites continued their upward course
and drifted slowly in a northeasterly
course over the city. People stood on
street corners and gazed skyward at
the strange objects, which were plainly
visible, and from some points of ob
servation seemed almost as if on fire
as the sun’s slanting rays shone on
their silken sides. When night came
the kites were still high in the heavens,
with no prospect of their coming down
to earth again.
A fnlqat Newspaper.
America doesn’t monopolize all the
novelties. Pesth, In Hungary, has a
telephone newspaper, the only one of
its kind in the world. It costs 2 cents
and is valuable to persons who are un
able er too lazy to use their eyes or
cannot read. It has 6,000 subscribers,
who receive the news the same as they
world ordinary telephone messages. A
special Vf'iro 168 miles long, runs along
the windows of houses of subscribers,
which are connected with the main
line by separate wires and special ap
paratus, which prevents the blocking of
the system by an accident at one of the
stations. Within the house long flex
ible wires make it possible to carry
the receiver to the bed or any other
part of the room. The news is not
delivered as it happens to come, bat Is
carefully edited and arranged accord
ing to a printed schedule, so that a
subscriber at any time knows what
part of the pRper -he is going to hear.
The staff is organized like that of any
ather newspaper. After the copy has
passed through the hands of the editor,
who is liable for its communications, it
Is given to the "speakers"—ten men
with strong voices and clear enuncia

An >111 Bride. <
At the marriage In Egypt ot Prln
:ess Minet Hanen, sister ot the Khe
live, the bride came in preceded by a
voman musician all dressed in white
latin. She was supported by two
irldesmalds. Her gowa was of white
latin, but one could scarcely see the
naterlal because of the heavy gold
imbroldery. Her neck and arms were
limply covered with diamonds, and on
ter head she wore a high crown of pre
:ious stones, to which was attached her
'ail of silk and gold. On either side of
ler head were ornaments of gold and
ewels, with threads of gold reacti
ng to the ground, of such weight that
he bridesmaids had to carry them.
She was one of the most beautiful
/omen ever seen, and when she was
eated on the throne U was a picture.
She and her surroundings were beau
iful beyond description. When she re
ired the Khedive stood on the tbrone
,nd threw newly-coined money among

Its brother volunteered to pose as a

the crocodile,
A Few of Hla Pecollar Way* of Vrana
acting Butncaa,
There is llttlte In the animal kingdom
that can look so dead and be so much
alire aa a crocodile, says the Pall Mali
Gazette. The number of unsuspect
lng persons who have mistaken him
for a log, and have failed to discover
their mistake until it was too late to
be of any benefit to them, will never
bo known. In ancient times, several
years prior to the British occupation
of Egypt, some of the people of that
country worshipped the crocodile as a
god, there being nothing else like him.
The fed him on dainties and togged
him out with jewelry. In other parts
of Egypt, however, the natives looked
upon him as a devil. Having no fire
arms, they did not fill him with lead,
but they managed to immolate him
successfully with such weapons as
were fashionable at the time. The
crocodile is not so numerous la the
e-4k* ttEp of the
Si last, he wither
Awns the river now below the second
cataract en account of the annoyance
Inseparable from tourist traffic. It
seems impossible for a tourist to see
a crocodile without tnying to plug him
wdth a revolver, and to a reptile who
Is fond of a quiet life this sort of thing
is simply Insufferable. He will not mo
lest a man unless he can take him at
a disadvantage, and so long as man
does net unthinkingly step nn him the
crocodile will go his own way and
calmly await his opportunity. He
feeds on fish, but for a course dinner
he would rather have humanity, black
preferred, which shows that there Is no
accounting for taste even among rep
tiles. His methods for capturing large
game are plural as well as singular.
Sometimes he will lie on a river bank,
partly covered with sand or mud, until
an absent-minded native wanders
within reach. Having grabbed his
prey, he will waddle Into the water,
and there drown the straggler. He
will then drag his victim ashore and
bury him in sand or mud, and wait
lor days before he gorges himself.
HISTORIC QUEBEC.

Prom Quebec a correspondent writes
to the Paris Messenger: “Id on parle
traneais” might be written on the por
tals of this quaint and picturesque old
slty. Strolling fn lower Quebec, you
might easily laney yourself In Amiens
w Dieppe. In the upper town there
Is more English, but everywhere an
amusing mixture. On the same card
you will sead ‘‘Maison a loner,” "House
to let:" on one side of the door “Pas
^’admission sans affaires” and on the
Jther "No- admittance except on busi
ness.” This bilingual necessity causes
i little extra painting end printing.
Each railway crossing must he marked
likewise, “Traverse du chemln de fer”
wd every official “notice” must be
srinted also in full as an “Avis." The
lending Is often curious, as when two
idjoining shops have their announce
ments one la. French and the other in
English. Along the Grande Alle, ran

Marvelous Results.
From a letter written by Re*. J.
Wunderman, of Dlmondale, Mich., we
are permitted to make thie abstract: "I
have no hesitation in recommending Dr.
King’s New Discovery, as the results
were almost marvelous in the case of
my wife. While 1 was pastor of the
Baptist church at Rives Junction she
was brought kown with pneumonia suc
ceeding la grippe. Terrible paroxysms
of coughing would last hours with little
interruption and it seemed as if she
could not survive them. A friend
recommended Dr. King’s New Discovery;
t was quirk in its work and highly sat
isfactory in results.’’ Trial bottles free
