THE CABIN ON THE CLAIM.
Lonely, you say? with mtihty arch
Of sky so grandly bondin';?
By brlght-hued clouds and glittering stars
A tender message sending?
Joyless? when out of crimson cloud
The sunrise pours its glory,
Morn after morn repeating well
Aurora's cheerful Btory?
Peacoless? when night with noiseless feet.
From fields of herbs and flowers,
Sweet odors in her m vntie dark
Bears to this cot of ours? |
Like faintest sounds of distant seas.
Founding some eastle hoary,
We hear the groat world s roar and fret,
And trace her changeful story.
As far away white gleaming sail,
Turning a bend of river,
A noblo deed with radiant Sash
Makes every heartstring quiver!
So, thankful, where the kindly stars
Spangle the blue with beauty.
We look, and breathe the fervent wish,
That all may do their duty.

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 be
ashamed of yourself,” said Mary, the
youngest scion of the house of Bell-'
field, who with her head aureoled
around with a sweeping cap was
“doing” the boarders’ rooms.
Mrs. Bellfield kept boarders ^nd 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 bellP ltun 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 ha9 kept .in .that t
box.”
“it wouldn t be any harm1,’’ said,
Mrs. Bellfleld, drawing a quick breath,1
“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 look belong
ing to a quaint Japanese box or cup
board, ereoted 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 files and screws
1 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 sparkle?”
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. Bellfleld.
Mr. Pufflt had just made an excel*
lent sale of a triple-plated silver tee
set to an old lady from the country,
who did not know last years style
from this, when Miss Bellfleld fluttered
in, all smiles and excitement.
i jusi want to snow 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 awkv ard! Where is it?1’
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 ldfit!” screamed
Josephine, and she straightway went
into hysterics.
Peter walked with her all the way
home, and their 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 were 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. Belltield
notice; the great firm of Slime and
Sparkle, goldsmiths and dealers in
precious stones, sent their own oonfl. I
dontial agent to look into things. I
It seemed that the gem had been i
intrusted to Mr. Wainwright to cut |
and polish at his own residence on
account of his superior workmanship
and the excel Lent reputation he sus
tained; that it was worth a great deul
of money, and could not possibly be
duplicated.
“Diamonds, indeed I” 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;
the celebrated tiara that every one
has heard of. I’m afraid young
Waihwright 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 money—yes, but then it is the
price of Mr. Walnwright’s reputation.
Edwin Wainwright had been a poor
man—poor in everything but honor
and ambition. Now he seemed to-be
bankrupt in both. The white topaz
woi 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. Just 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 Bpring from behind the heavy
brown moreen curtains, and he was
close to the intruder
“Miss Bellfield, is it you?” He
started back with sheer amazement,
almost horror.
Aiary uennoia unerea a snrm cry.
“I thought you were gone out,” she
sobbed. “I—oh, Mr. Wainwright!”
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 i
a thing of me?”
Then she told him the 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 back when I got a chance, but
Josephine had secreted1 the hateful
key, and I’ve just been able to get
possession of it. Oh, Mr.. Wain
wright, forgive me for my silence,
but remember that I couldn’t betray
my own mother and sister!"
“It had nearly cost me my life,
Mary,”
The poor girl burst into tears and
sobs.
“And what has it cost me?” she
cried. “The sleepless nights, the
days of anguish and terror. Oh, Mr.
Wainwright, if my folly had caused
your death, I should have died, too!”
“Mary, you surely cannot mean”—
But she had run away, covering
her face with her hands, leaving the
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
increase of salary became engaged to
Mary Bellfield; and the white topaz
eventually shone and sparkled in the
very centre of Mrs. Midas Money
bag’s grand tiara, where it belonged.
Mr. Puflit is still constant to Jo
sephine, but he discourages any
further amateur tampering with locks
and keys.
“It has an awkward look,” he sftys.
And Wainwright loves Mary none
the less because she ran such a terri
ble .risk to protect the name and fame
of her mother and sister.—Mew York
Journal.

HE LOST HIS BIO KITE8.
Prof. Potter's Aeroplanes Boll Skyward
Merer to Return.
The gaze of Washingtonian* who
happened to be on the streets about 4
o'clock the other afternoon, says 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 an explanation of the mystery
was manifested. The queer things
which were seen sailing along 2,000 feet
above 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 of the planets. "Aero
plane" Is the name given by the scien
tists of the weather bureau 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 over the river
to continue the kite trials and Instead
of the usual hempen rope there was at
tached a fine steel wire to the kites as
they were sent aloft They had 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
comae 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 Bun's slanting rays shone on
their sHken sides. When night came
the kites were still high in the heavens,
with no prospect of their coming down
to earth again.

_ 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 or too lacy to use their eyea or
cannot read. It has 6,000 subscribers,
who receive the aews the same as they
would ordinary telephone messages. A
special wire 168 miles long, runs along
the windows of houses of subscribers,
which are connected with the mala
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, but is
carefully edited and arranged accord
ing to a printed schedule, so that a
subscriber at any time knows what
part of the paper he is going to hear.
The staff Is organized like that of any
other 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
tion, who work In shifts of two at a time
and talk the news through a telephone.
There are twenty-eight editions uttered
a day. Additions to the first edition
are announced as news items. To fill
up the time when no news is coming in
the subscribers are entertained with
vocal and Instrumental concerts, the
wire being in communication with; the
churches, opera house and music halls.
This unique newspaper has been in ex

An Si 'in Krld*.
At the marriage in Egypt of Prin
cess Minet Hanen, sister of the Khe
dive. the bride came in preceded by a
woman musician all dressed in white
satin. She was supported by two
bridesmaids. Her gown was of white
satin, but one could scarcely see the
material because of the heavy gold
embroidery. Her neck and arms were
simply covered with diamonds, and on
her head she wore a high crown of pre
cious stones, to which was attached her
vail of silk and gold. On either side of
her head were ornaments of gold and
jewels, with threads of gold reach
ing to the ground, of such weight that
the bridesmaids had to carry them.
She was one of the most beautiful
women ever seen, and when she was
seated on the throne it was a picture.
She and her surroundings were beau
tiful beyond description. When she re
tired the Khedive stood on the throne
and threw newly-coined money among
the ladies for luck.

Fond of the Whip.
Our English forefathers were so fond
of the whip that they seem to have re
garded it as a sure cure for lunacy, and
even for small-pox. The accounts of a
Huntingdonshire parish, under date of
1691, have the entry: “Pd. in charges
taking up a distracted woman, watch
ing her, and whipping her next day,
8s Sd.;“ and a few years later, 8d. is
paid for “whipping two people that had
the small-pox."
A few days ago a Wilmington, Del
woman received a little box by mall in
which was a watoh and chain that were
stolen from her twelve years ago.

THE CROCODILE.
A Few of Hie Peculiar Way* of Trane
acting Bnelneee.
There Is little In the animal kingdom
that can look so dead and be so much
alive as a crocodile, says the Pall Mall
Gazette. The number of unsuspect
ing 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
be 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
wese fashionable at the time. The
crocodile is not so numerous In the
Nile as he was In the days of the
Ramoses family. In faot, he rather
shuns the river now below the second
cataract on account of the annoyance
inseparable from tourist traffic. It
seems impossible for a tourist to see
a crocodile without trying to plug him
with 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 not unthinkingly step on 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 He 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
for days before he gorges himself.
HISTORIC QUEBEC.
Fart* of It Suggestive of Soenot la the
Old World.
From Quebec a correspondent writes
to the Paris Messenger: "Ici on parle
franoals” might be written on the por
tals of this quaint and picturesque old
city. Strolling in lower Quebec, you
might easily tansy yourself in Amiens
or Dieppe. In the upper town there
is more English, but everywhere an
amusing mixture. On the same card
you will read “Maison a loner,” ‘House
to let:”..on one side of the door “Pas
d'ad miss ton sana affaires” and on the
other "No admittance except on busi
ness.” This bilingual necessity causes
a little extra painting and printing.
Each railway crossing must be marked
likewise, ‘‘Traverse du chemln de ter”
and every official “notice” must be
printed also in full as an "Avis.” The
blending is often curious, as when two
adjoining shops have their announce
ments one in French and the other in
English. Along the Grande AUe, run
ning right across the Plains of Abra
ham, you might be in Brussels or
Paris, only that Clifton terrace seems
to recall you to Kensington. Ameri
can travelers for whom Europe Is too
distant are advised to go to Quebec,
there to find a bit of the mediaeval old
world transplated to the new, but still
embalmed In Its ancient religious sen
timentalism, upon which the rush and
roar of modern unrest produce as little
effect as the Atlantic breakers on the
cliffs of Cape Breton. French con
tinues uppermost until you pass Mon
