Mother and the girls wcro juite iu ec stasies over the new house. The mascu line members of the family were inclined to bo dubious as to its advantages. The chief objection which we liad to it was that it was one of a row of eight, all ex actly alike, and it was extremely difficult to bo sure of the right door. A week's practice, however, made that all right; ours was the fourth house from the south end of the row; as I walked from tho ofiice along the street immedi ately south of us, X poon became accus tomed to Liking tho exact number of 6teps, after turning tho corner, which would Lrtng me to the door. Itesules, the hour at which I came home (I am a proof reader on a morning paper and my duties usually kept me at the ofiice until al ter 8 a. in.) made it neces sary for me to carry a latchkey. While 1 knew that of course our neighbors had exactly the same conveniences which we enjoyed, and looked for light to windows m tne same portion of exactly similar rooms, and cxiei iei;ced theannovanceof smoky chimneys when the wind was. in tho partic ular quarter which ' affected ours, J did not dream that tho houses were so precisely tho same that the kev of one would unlock tho other. v e had lived here about a week when the ttreet car lino near by began running owl cars. This was a boon for iue, ns it saved me a walk of some length. The car line ran within half a square of the house, being on the next street north of its. me urst nigiit mat l rode home I was so sleepy when I got out of the car that 1 scarcely knew what I was doing. Hith erto the exercise of walking had kept me wide awake until I got into my own room. I managed to unlock (lib front, 'floor , however, and get upstairs, hnbit making my movements noiseless, as I knew that my mother was easily awakened and did not readily go to sleep again. The room which I occupied was over the dining room, the door being nearly opposite to the head of the stairs. Some what to my surprise the gas was not burning oi tho landing: J.he girls had probably forgotten to liglit it befp'ro go ing to bed. 1 groped my way carefully along, and at last reached the door of my room. I entered; it was like the hall, pitch dark. I tried to find tho table, on which there" should bo a lamp, and my hand ame in contact with something else. I drew a match from my pocket and struck it. As' I 'held it sct ened by my hand I saw that tho room was si etrango one. Suddenly, all was dark; ii was ndti ,hat the match had gone out, but the brain wa shadowed; I knew nothing more. SUE TELLS IT. I was always rated courageous; I seemed to lack that instinctive fear which causes some to shrink from dark ness and loneliness. My brothers and listers often declared that I would never be frightened; not even, added May, with a shudder, if a burglar were to pre sent liimself liefore rao and demand my valuables. Those would not tempt any well reguiatcd burglar, lieing small and of little intrinsic value; Tau 1 should not iiko to lose theni, and I have always de termined to defend my property stoutly if threatened, providing, of course, that 1 had suflicient warning of the robber's intentions to enable mo to act. I awoke one morning at that proverbial darkest hour, jiist betore the dawn. I had no idea what time it vas. as the whole house was wrapped in silenco and darkness; it is from alter events that I am able to say that it was nearly morn ing. I had started suddenly from 6leep, but at first I eoul; not tell wliat had aroused me. As 1 lay listening for some sound to follow that which Lad recalled mo from the land of dreams, my thoughts turned instifrc'tivejy to our next door neighbors, who had been domiciled in tho row for about a week. Nobody knew them, although several of the older residents liad spoken of call ing upon them perhaps; for wo liked .he looks of the ladies and they seemed inclined to be friendly. The men, how ever, seemed to bo homo all day and away all night. They were not work ingmen one could see that by their hands, their clotliing, their bearing and we were afraid thev wero not just what they should be. 'We recalled certain .rewsome stories of counterfeiters, bur rlars and other criminals who settle in respectable neighborhoods and only ex cited suspicion by the unreasonable hours which they kept. "Was that a' 6tep up the 6tairs? I lis tened more intently, my ' wandering thoughts recalled from all other subjects. Surely it was. and that was another. There was a burglar in the house. I sprang out of bed and enveloped myself in a circular which chanced to be hang ing on a chair, as I ha4 worn it out into l he rain the precediug evening.' If I was to receive a burglar I was determined tliat the proprieties should not suffer; I would have something on besides my night dress; while if he went to any other room I could steal a!PS M16 dark halls to alarm my brothers and pe less noticeable in this dark wrap than' in my night In spite of my boasted courage, my heart beat very loudly as the step was hetrd once more, and this time upon the landing just outside my own door. 1 grasped the poker firmly, however, try uy hand. It was a plain, heavy bar rf iron, at which tho others often laughed, declaring that it must make mo tired to rake tho tire. Tho knob of tho door turned slowly and cautiously, and the burglar enters tho room. W'hat would he do next? He closed the door as gently as ho had opened it, and for u moment seemed un decided. Did he have a dark lantern and a pistol? I could not imagine a burglar without such adjuncts, both of which were unfamiliar objects to me; and I shivered as I thought of the advan tage which he would have over me and my ioker. Evidently tho dark lantern was not in working order, however, for ho simply struck a match. The little tlarae showed mo that our new neighbors were not un founded upon reason this was one of them. They were certainly a gang of burglary. Ho mado a step toward the dresses. To reach it ho must pass me. Ho was within reach of my arm. I raised my weapon, and, uttering the loudest scream of which my lungs were capable, 1 struck him on tho side of the head. He fell like a log to the floor. Horrors! I had killed him I My renewed screams alarmed the house and the others were speedily by my side. I had already lighted the gas and was on my knees beside the man that 1 had struck, vainly endeavoring to recall life. My assortment of restoratives, I was afterward assured, was sufficient to have revived a dozen swooning men. "Wliat in tho world" 7egan my brother as he apjeared upon the scene. Ho was tho first to come to the room. "Oh, my burglar's come!" 1 exclaimed, half hysterically, "but I've killed him." "Wholly unnecessary severity," ro marked Tom; "you always overdo the iinng. rsut mat man lsn t dead. As if to coniirm his words, the burglar just men opened his eyes and looked in quiringiy around mm "He looks dazed." I whispered to Tom -no nas occasion to look dazed ir vou nit mm. wim your beloved poker, re joined Tom, pushing me aside and apply ing restoratives in his turn; "put it where it belongs, and go get mo some brandy or whisky, or something of tjie kind. e 11 have to get this fellow on his feet before we call the police, "I I was mistaken, sir," said the burglar m a feeble voice, but with a verv t : l i . . . . . uecjueu manner, "i wsis mistaken in me nouse. n appears ui:tt tne same latchkey unlocks both doors, and I got me wrong one.

"I think that you will do me the favor to change your mind about sending for tho police,' he said, ''when I explain am employed upon a morning pnper and am not through with my work until nearly tins hour in the morning. usually walk home. But I took advan tage of the new owl cars to-night and went to sleep on my way home, hardly waking up when 1 got out and walked the half block here. I live at 415, and I hope that you will accept my cxplana- tieu anu apologies and allow me to go home to 'bed. " J am very sorry I have disturbed the lady and probably fright ened her." "it seems to me." said Tom, putting ouc iiu nana, "mat me lady is perfectly well able to take care of herself, and that 7ou ought to know it." Hie stranger laughed good naturedly.

Their Habits and Ciutonia Itrett Ing the National Drink The Iwl Maker. "While conversing with Surgeon II. W. Whitaker he said he joined his ship, the Mohican, at San Francisco. Cal., in May, 1885, and sailed in her through the Gol den Gate the following month for an ex tensive cruise in the South Pacific, which lasted over three years. His supply of information shows that ho has been a close observer of tho customs and habits of the Polynesians. As a surgeon, ho was brought more intimately in contact with them than others, and "had the op ortiinity of becoming personally ac quainted with many of their strange doings, and he says some of his best friends have been formed anionc those eople. One of the most curious and in teresting customs ho told your correspon dent of was that of kavaJriuking among the inhabitants of the Samoan group of islands, lie jioko very highly of those people, and said they were tho" finest race of ieople he had setn, the men being of large and almost perfect physique, sym metrically proportioned, with straight, coarse black hair and a rich brownish coior. ne niso saiu mo women wero even more attractive than tho men, be cause of their mild manners, kind and happy dispositions.

Jliicagb d"Qurul,' History of koup Making, The accurate history of the manufac ture of soap stretches back to the facto ics built ut Marseilles, when there was tn apparent recognition of the principles f saponification. Neither then nor till ed centuries later, however, was there my desiro to. understand, what tbp prin ciple was, and for many years every afiort to wrest tho secret from chemistry md make soap boiling an art was fought by tho manufacturer and workman. "The factories at Marseilles had around them all the materials necessary for son p making' says a recent Engik'i work upon this Ai f. ?:The pljye tree, (be fruit of wldch yields a fixed oil in great abun dance, nourished in the south of France, while tho shores of tho Mediterranean yielded an ample supply of maritime plants from which crude soda was ob tained by calcination. As the time pro gressed Italy furnished olive oil, while Spain contributed crude soda, or barilla." Tho gradual development 'of the art, wlule extremely interesting to the chem ist, is of nq snecjaj jnter est to the general reader. Leblanc's discovery of a "process for the manufacture of soda from com mon salt, Chevaeul's explanation of the nature of the reaction which takes place when fatty substances are treated with boiling solutions of caustic alkali, gave an exactness to the manufacture of soap such as it had never before had; but it was a long tune petore the pouers would 1 avail themselves of the aid of these men of science. Steam succeeded the ordin ary fire, and the list of fatty substances used in soap making grew and grew, un til there are now a dozen of them form ing the base of soap, with over one hun dred entering into the composition cf different kinds of soap to a greater or less degree.

Ho said the first thought of this is always repulsive to a civilized white man, and he invariably refuses to drink of it when offered to him, but if he stays in the islands long his prejudice is sure to lw overcome, and it is not a great while be fore he becomes a convert and is fond of the strange drink. In describing the process of brewing tho strange beverago ho said a young girl, the most comely and attractive in a household or village, was tho cue sc lectod to chew tho root, which would first bo thoroughly cleansed and broken into small pieces suitable for tho size of the damsel's mouth. Before commenc ing to masticate she would invariably thoroughly wash out her mouth with water in presence of all the assembled guests, and would then fold her graceful person, a la Turk, upon a mat spread on the floor, and chew and chew, all in one niouthfuj, until a suflicient quantity would be ready. Tho hands, in the meantime, having been also washed, should receive tho bolus, and with a graceful motion dath it into the bowl, made of wood, in the shape of a tin wash basin with four short feet, when the water would be added and tho chewed root thoroughly mixed up with the hands and by a dexterous man tier all tho coarse inn rcuuvtJUj. wnen mo beer is adjudged to be completed by the fair one, threo vigorous clappings of the 1. 1 . ,.11 1 - -. . naima uii round signifies H 13 ready to be served.
