A. de iTcvaret was considered the
very Lit catch in Villa Abbe! Young
x;nd liarid.-xiuo and clever, and tho pos
sessor of a large fortune, he lived with his
mother, the dowager countess, in one of
the lnot sumjituous residences in the
tov.-n. And this young man, on whom
. very woman of rank with a marriage-ahl-
datighter inilvd, had rungthedoor
iil f t he Tarveuues and left liis cards
for them! How had this ever come
ahoul? ilo bowed to them, because they
bowed to l:i.i mother, but ho had never
lc.'ii introduced to tho ladies.
"What can it meauV" asked JIme. Tar
venue. anxiously.
rkI?iT3;e 'as standing before the glass.
'Why, it seems to mo that it is very
ch-ar!"' f-ho replied, with deep compla
cency. "Haven't you noticed, my dear
mamma, that every time we go to hear
tho band play 31. do Prevaret is there
too?"
" What! why do you think?" JIme.
Tarvenue did not dare finish, so audaci
ous did her thought seem to her.
"And why not?" demanded Solange,
throwi,; up her blonde head with a
triumphant air that made her really im-
nn-'iisely handsome.
"You are right," murmured poor JIme.
Tarvcmif?; "you are pretty enough."
It was quite true that Solange Tar
venuo was handsome enough to inspire a
pa:ion, but the would never have had
any nl traction for a fastidious man.
This young ierson, with her sculptur
es -j ue form and her dazzling coloring-,
w: j absolutely lacking in innate refine
ment or distinction. No rellection of
ircntlj nature, an elevated soul, ever

prnpo-iil, has he?"
"fo ijiako his proposal?" quavered
JIi::e. Tarvenue. "Vou knew, then?"
"it is to bo hoped that I did know,"
remarked JI. Tarvenue with importance.
"Ilo frid to uie only this morning: 'It is

in 1 ve with Soir-iige. "
Tassel?! Of v. liom are you talking?"
"Of iiiv friend liamillat, who is most
anxious tlmt Solange thould marry his
son."
"JI. Ramillat did not calL But the
ComtJ do lrevaret rang the doorbell
while you were away." And Solange,
having pronounced these words, majes
tically h i t tho room.
"JI. do Frevaret!" exclaimed SI. Tar
venue. "Wtiv, yes," said madame, imitating
her daughter's self possessed and indif.
ferent mien. "Solango is not aston
ished. Ho has been noticing her a great
deal of late. And if ho should want to
marry hr there would be nothing sur
priaLas in that either. She ii handsome
enough to make a mesalliance possible."
A discussion then arose between
JIme. Tarvenue and her daughter as to
would not know how to appear in a way
that would do us justice. Now, if it
1Ver0t i1' havinK tho ,iabt of the world, I
should know how to manage ierfectlv.
So it is best that mamma and I should go
to rail on tho countess. Hy doing so we
will make her understand that we are
very willing to know her, but not will
ing to accept the attentions of her son
against her wishes."
Tho plan was cleverly conceived, and a
week later was carried out.
On the same day the dowager Countess
do I'revaret was chatting with her son in
a largo salon filled with lino old furni
ture. He, who was the most touchingly
devoted of sons, had been asking his
mother how she had passed the after
noon. She had lieeii too tired to receive,
she said; but there had been several
callers. "Auung others these" and she
took up a card.
"JIme. Tarvenue" and mademoiselle.
"Do you know these peonle?" asked the
countess. "I was surprised to get their
card."
"I know them and I don't. He used
to bo a linen draper, I think. Ho is out
of business now. They sit near you in
church tho father is a little man with
spectacles; tho mother very stout and
rubicund; tho daughter a superb crea
ture, a blonde, who dresses very well.
You must have seen them?"
"Oh, yes, I remember now. I believe
they liow to me. They aro good souls, I
hiioum inuiK ii icy go to church
regularly."
"Good souls, perhaps," laughed
son, "but frightfully ordinary,
mother is imiossible. As for
laughter, we call her tho empress,
iussure you tho name suits her. Sho
tremendous poseuse"
"IJut why should they come to see
me," asked the countess.
'Terhaps to solicit subscriptions for
some thai ity. The mother and daughter
belong to different church organizations,
I think."
"Perhaps. I don't care to know them,
but I want to Ihj polite. I might leave
my card some day fit their house. That
would not commit mo to anything."
"Of course not. Especially with thn
Tar venues."
The lady little dreamed what a com
motion the square of iusteboard her foot
man deposited at tho Tarvenue doors
ono afternoon would cause in that house
hold. When Solange, who was at the
window, recognized the Prevaret livery,
sho forgot all her assumption of indiffer
ence and rushed down to the kitchen to
tell the servant that the ladies would re
ceive. Then she threw a hasty glance
into the drawing room to assure herself
that all things were in oreler there, and.
still running, returned to her room and
liegan to make an appropriate toilet.
What was not her elisapioiiitment when
she heard tho carriage drive away again.
"Idiot!" she cried to tho servant over
the bannister. " Why didn't you say we
were at home as I told you?"
"Put, mademoiselle1, tho footman
didn't ask. He gave me the card, and 1
said, 'JIatlamo is at home." Then he
said. 'Well, give her that then.'"
"Very well," said Solange with ascer
bity. "But you might at least have re
frained from saying that we were at
home, sinco you hadn't been asked."
Nevertheless the sight of the countes'
card somewhat appeased her. That a
grande dame of tho countess age, too,
should have taken the trouble to drive
out in the cold in order to leave a card at
thei. house proved conclusively that she
wished to sanction her son's course. Thus
did JIme. Tarvenue think likewise, and
the two ladies resolved that the least they
could do would be to call once more upon
the countess without delav.
This had been arranged, when JI.
Tarvenue, who spent an hour at his club
every day, came in with a very clouded
orow.
"Something very serious has hap
pened," said the retired Jinen draper.
Then "Wo have no secrets from you,
my elaughter, and you know already that
my friend Iiamillat haa spoken to me of
his desiro of making a match between
you and his 6on. I expected an officia
pro;x)sal from him three weeks ago. t
did not receive it, and 6ince then no has
seemed to avoid me. I did not like to
call upon him because that would have
been undignified under the circumstan
ces. Finally I met him today on ihe
street and, although he pretended not to
see me, I accosted him. 'What's the
rea-'on one never sees you any more,
llai iillat?' 'It seems to me, sir,' he an
swered stiflly, 'that ;t is scarcely mv
place to call upon you again after the
step I took three weeks ago and which
you failed to recognize in any way.'
And- now it turns out that he came here,
left his card, as I was not at home, and
thought of course, as we had had a con?
vovation on the subject the previous day.
tnui i wouia unuerstanet jne visit as a
formal demand on his and Jus son's part
for Solange's hand. Here we are at log
gor heads, and all because you did not
give me his card."
1 mt he never came he never left a
pleased x show ua that you approved of
your son's visit to us."
It was now tho countess' turn to be
agitated. Had Gerard really gone to see
uiese pcopier ine daughter was pretty
very preuy.
l tu J not know that my son had
called ujion you," she said with her
grand hir, "but his friends are mine.
Aii! iiiere ho is now. Gerard," ad-
unjssing tho young man who now en
tered with a smile, "will you not intro
duce mo to JIme. and Jllle. Tarvenue?"
"It seems to me that it is you who
ougui, eo lmrouuce me," remarked the
young man, bowing low before his
mother s guests.
"It is true, monsieur," said Solange,
while her mother wished that the earth
ujj&iit, ope-u anu swauow ner up; "we re
gretted not l?ing at home when you
fmieu some time ago.
ine young man bowed again, and
looked embarrassed, and said nothin
" Jly daughter alludes to the visit you
made us at the beginning of January,"
"u turew m ivirae. xarvenuo.
"I wish that I too might allude to it,
madame, but I am afraid there is a mis
understanding, since I would never have
permitted myself, not having the honor
of knowing you, to present myself at
your door. Now, however, I shall," he
continued with a profound bow," "c-er
tainly beg for the pleasure of doins: so.'
JIme. iervenue desperately rose and.
louoweu ny ner daughter, left the room
When Gerard had returned from seeing
them to tho door, his mother said to him

In tho street meanwhile Solange was
Diting ner lips tiU the blood started.
"What idiots we were! We have
spoiled everything! fie had come to the
house without letting his mother know,
and we have let tho cat out of tho bag!"
sho raged.
"What a pity! If only ho comes back
again!" said JIme. Tarvenue, prayer
fully. The next day there occurred JIme.
Tarvenue's small weekly reception. The
lamps wero lighted and Solange was set
ting out eomo dominos nonchalantly on
the baize table.
"Is everything ready?" tlemanded JI.
Tarvenue.
"Oh, yes,"
I'Well; lecause I hold a good deal to
this one evening in tho week, when I can
gather my old friends around me," said
tho eld tellow. "I miss one, though,
Iiamillat," and he sighed.
His guests soon began to arrive. So
lange, with a book in her hand, aban
doned herself to gold tinted reveries.
That very morning tho Count Gerard

begun to erect a visionary scaffolding of
elrcams. Suddenly the door opened
again and JI. Iiamillat was announced.
JI. Tarvenue hurried forward to meet
liim.
"Jly dear friend, at last?"
"Why, yes, hero I am again. But let
me tell you all of you the most extra
ordinary and laughable occurrence imag
inable. You know, Tarvenue, that I
was ollended because pf your having
failed to take any' notice of a certain
vijit I paid you three weeks ago. You
said that you liad not heard of it. I was
sure that I left cards. Well, I left cards,
and you never knew it."
Ho broko olf with a loud laugh.
"Tell me, Tarvenue, 'do ypu know the
Com to de Prevaret?"
" Very little, but becomes here."
"Ah! ho comes here? He came on tho
Cth of January, eh? Well, I left his
card!" '
Solange, who had raised her head from
her book, now approached.
"And this is the way of it: It's all the
fault of that rood-for-notliincr entrraver.
BladeL I ordered some cards for Jan. 1.
lYobably the Count Gerard did the same.
Now, what do you suppose I discovered
after three weeks? That the cards in the
packages were mixed inadvertently-
half of them wero mine and half those of
the Count Prevaret. " That is how it hap
pened that you received a card from
that gentlem;m and that is how"
' Solange, winter than a sheet, had risen
with difficulty and retreated into the
embrasure of a window. Her mother
followed her.
"Courage, Solange! Bo kind to JI.
Iiamillat. After all, Eusebe is not such
a bad match!"
"What! When one thought one was
going to be a countess!" and she hastened
from tho room.
"Excuse Solange," said JIme. Tar
venue. "She is feeling indisposed."
Three months later Gerard de Brevaret
was married to one of his cousins, and
tho saniG day JI. Eosebe. Kamillat, dis
darned by Solange, conducted ' to the
aiiar mo uaugnter of Ins fathers part

John M. Goring, of Wappinger's Falls,
iAitcness county, has a 6ago palm with
quite a history, which, added to its great
age iuu years mates it a valuable
plant. The palm was originally grown
at Mount Vernon, and was once owned
oy ueorge v ashington. It was brought
from there by Mr. Van Rensselaer and
placed in Niblo's Garden at the time that
pleasure resort was first constructed
After some years it was brought to Clin
ton t pint, the v an Rensselaer homestead,
and for four decades was cared for by
Edward Downing, the gardener, to whom
it was eventually given when the Van
Rensselaers left that section of country,
and afterward it became the property of
ineoorings. ine plant stands 10 feet
nign and weighs nearly 400 pounds.

In the old days, when Washington was
but a big village, the post of minister to
the United States was the least liked of
all tho chief diplomatic appointments,
but now that Washington is a beautiful
city and the Mecca of the best people in
the Union, things are very different.

Uxicriiuont3 with the Cigarette.
Seidiee describes some experiments
made on the cigarette by Professor W.
L. Dadiey. of Vanderbilt university, as
follows:
The fact that cigarette smoking pro
duces plivsioloirical efr.'ects differing in
some extent from those of the cigar led
LiLi to make his experiments. The fre
quently ?.se-riled causes of tho dillorence
tnat or tho adaiie-ration of cigarette to
bacco wjth opium and other elrugs, and
also the presence of arsenic in the paper
aie iw many reasons unsatislactorv
end insufhcient. It i3 true, no doubt,
that the tobacco in many of the less ex
pensive brands is adulterated with cheap
urugs anu anmciai navors, ana tliat in
the more expensive grades opium may be
use'u; oui it is equally true that many
cigarettes are made of tobacco which is
free from sophistication. The presence
of arsenic in the paper is entirely out of
the question. There is a difference in
the methods of smoking a cigarette and
a cigar or piie.
In the two last mentioned the smoke
is simply drawn into the mouth and ex
pelled directly therefrom or through the
nose, while the experienced cigarette
smoker will inhale the 6moko, that is,
draw it to a greater or less extent into
the air passages, and in some cases to
the greatest depth cf the lungs, and thus
the absorption of tho cat bonic oxido and
other gases U take place very rapidly,
cauidiig more or less ueoxidation of the
blood, and thereby impairing it3 power
to build up the wasting tissues of the
body. 1. That carbonic oxide is the
most poisonoua constituent of tobacco
smoke; H. That more injury results from
cigarette than cigar or pipe smoking, be
cause, as a rule, the smoke of the former
is inhaled: 3. That cigarette smoking
without inhaling is no moro injurious
than pipe or cigar smoking; 4. That the
smoke of a cigar or pipe, if inhaled, is
as injurious as cigarette emoke Inhaled;
5. That the smoke from a Turkish pipe,
if inh3led, is as injurious as that of a
qgarette inhaled.
