"It is your turn this evening, Ather ton, to relate the most thrilling tstory which you can truthfully vouch for." Jack Gray, a darkeyed student nt whose room in Cambriu a few of hi intimate friends had gathered, resumed his fragrant Havana, and sent up ward a blue wreath of smoke as he settled himself in a more comfortable attitude for listening. "Turn thegns down a little, Jack; you know Atherton is not quite so fond of story telling as some of us more loquacious ones, and as out of respect to hisabstemioushabiU noth ing stronger than Iciiionade graces the round table this evening, we must grant him every other indulyenre in our power to lubricate his utterance as orator of this occasion." The young man referred to was a Virginian, held in high esteem by his classmates for his thoroughly manly j character. "No need of reminding me that my forte is not story telling," he said, "but if the club will allow me to read a few facts I picked up last summer I think I can pass muster. I had them from a lady who was entertained, with her husband at my home in Vireinia. I had never met the couple before, and was particularly attract ed by Mrs. (irny, She must have been nearly 40 years of age, but was remarkably youthful in appearance. I remember distinctly her bright and engaging face and manner as she re lated to us the incident I am about to rend to you, while we gathered around the blazing fire of pine knots which the cool evening made most agreeable. Have I permission to go on?" No objection being made Atherton took up his paper and read the fol lowing: I will tell you an episode of my life that is so strange I fear you can hard ly credit it, and so painful to me that it is burned into my memory; the story has never before fallen from my lips. I am a second wife. Inhis youthful days my husband loved and married a beautiful woman. 1 have been told that upon her bridal eve the orange blossoms that confined her veil were not more fair than she. "What a charming bride!" was softly whispered among the guests, 80 attractive and loving was she in character that even envy was dis . armed, and she reigned as queen in the hearts of relatives and friends. After the festivities of the hour she bade a loving adieu to all and hastened with her husband to enter the- carriaco waiting at the door. Scarcely had the impatient horses turned from the veranda when the rustling of 11 rabit in the hedge startled them, and leaping aside, in an instant they over turned the carnrge. ine coaenmnn jumped from his seat without injury, while the horses, freeing themselves from the shafts, dashed wildly down the avenue. Anxious friends immediately sur rounded the vehicle. Mr. tlray proved to be uninjured, but Alice, his lovely bride, was dead. I pass over the grief and horror of the scene. Three days later they buried her, still in her bridal robes, on the plantation, beneath the shade of a branching tree, near which flowed a tinv stream of water, its 6weet mur mur, so dear to her in life, forever sing ing a soft lullaby to her long slumber. Here her sorrowing husband kissed for the last time the marble forehead and sweet, smiling lips, almost more beautiful in death than in life. Then, lonely mid sadj be sought his distant home. Years passed before he thought again of marriage; and when besought my hand, well did I realize that I ..... could never be as dear to him a the bride whose memory he would keep evergreen. But I was an orphan, and you who know my noble husband can not wonder that I gladly accepted , bim Several years passed, fmfiling all my hopes md desires of contentment ana happiness I had anticipated be fore marriage. Then an event oc curred which for a time made life a nightmare of agony and finally des pair. While I was seated, one day, upon a vine-covered veranda .occupied with an interesting book, Mr. tiray stole quietly behind me, and placing his etrong.lovinghand upon my shoulder, startled me by saying: "I must leave you to-morrow for a short iournev. The parents of my first wife have decided to make their future residence abroad, and as the old plantation must 20 into other hands have granted my request to have , Alice's remains removed and placed in my own lot tn the cemetery here. r I had no desire t o chance his pur 'pose and bade him adieu on the fol lowing moraine. All this occurred at the time when guns and ammunition were beinx con veyed over the borders from Texas for our approaching war, and all the railroad officials were on the alert for auspicious looking boxes. hen Mr. Gray had reached a town in Virginia on his way homeward the reat weight of the box in his care at tracted theattention of some of the road people, and they insisted on a legal examination of its contents be fore allowing him to proceed. Pro tests were in vain. When the lid of the casket was reached and removed, before the speechless beholders lay ft beautiful woman, asperfect M if hewn from a solid block of trouble. B7 some strange chemical process Alice's earthly beauty had been retideted immortal. The ight completely overpowered Mr. Gray, and it was some time be fore he could resume his journey. When he did so he was a changk-d man. Of course I knew nothing of this at the time; the farts came to my 1-now ledge afterward. Soon his return I hastened to welcome him home, but started with terror at the worn look of his always kindly face. With ill concealed constraint he returned my greeting. Then in measured ac cents he told me of what had happen ed, and his abse.it manner revealed how his thoughts had wandered tc the past. " ' , Not a day passed that he did not visit Alice's tomb. True as he had in tended to be to me, this trial proved too much for him. I knew he blamed himself for ever calling another wife. Months passed. My health became delicate. By dwelling constantly on the great and t range misfortune which had deprived nie ol a loving care so justly mine, morbid fancies took possession of my excited bruin. No harsh word ever fell from Mr. Gray's lips, but my presence nt times seemed ignored by Inni. My own lips were sealed. I was ashamed to con fugs my jealousy .of this dwvl image of a former love which was SO cruelly robbing mo of earthly lmj:ness. I felt creeping upon me diwjiair and madness, f J hi my frenzy determined to destroy forever that tiuectef which was ruining two lives, lint human nature has its limits of suffering. 1 w restled long with the powers of dark ness until delirium ended all further efforts to battle with the foe. In those hours I have since learned how my conscience-smitten husband listened to my ravings. To no one would he give up hi post of watcher at my bedside.- lU-tunimg health, after weeks of suffering from a terrible case of brain fever, rewarded his care. I aaokt'me day. tp lind his cool hand upon my aching brow, and by the tender expression of his face knew I was reinstated in his jove. A soon as my Ktrengtli permitted he acknowlcged his error, ftddins: . "I have buried forever from my sight that image of a dead ove whi. li made me recreant to my. nmrrmuo vow." Frcm this hotir my recovery dated. No band scatters flowers more lavish iv. "poii the grave of the beautiful dead bride I:ru mine. For to nie the return of a luinbaiid's love created 11s great a transformation in my seem ingly ruined life ns the wonderful pro ccs in nature which transformed into that beautiful statue a lovely though dead form.

Then .lack, without a shad ow of his natural Involity eaid slow lv: "You have kept us deeply interested in una wouueriui inieiiujiienwu ui mi ture, which laid t lie foundation for a story of human love rather out of the common line of love stories.

Grandma was expecting company for dinner the minister and his wife and lit tle girl. Bo she was very busy hat morning cooking all sorts of good things, end among the other things were the famous pumpkin pies, made just as her grandma had mad them. Her grandma! Why, it almost made Nannie dizzy to think about grandma's grandma. Nannie was standing on a chair close beside the table, helping grond ma cook. She had come out in the country the day before to try and get over la grippe. "I should think," paid Nannie, "that that way to make pumpkin pies wouldn't be very good, 'cause it's sr.ch old style." "Old style's tho best .'or pies, I guess," Jauahed grandma. "You see if it nint. Now I suppose, child, you never do have 'cm in the city, do you? Singular Prussian Law. . One of tho most remarkable meas ures enacted by tho Prussian Landtag during the session which has just been brought to a close is a law providing for compensation to agriculturist for damage done to their crops by game. The damage is not to be paid by the owners of tho game, who almost invariably bolona to territorial no bility, both great and small, but by the other agriculturists, farmers, and peasants whose crops the game has refrained from injuring on that par ticular occasion. This extraordinary method of squnr- ing accounts must ue an riouieu to tho fact that the majority in the Prussian Landtag is composed almost entirely of petty territorial nobility the so-called Uittergutsbesit.er. Hut it is incredible that a man fo enlight ened and progressive as t ha present Kmperor of" Germany should have given his sanction to a law which, in the words of tho old proverb, 'rob Peter to pay Paul." Indeed, under its provisions, it will become more profitable to have one's crops injured by game than to have them left undamaged. Toronto Mail. How IngersoII Cot In. I was told recently a story of how Colonel Ingersoll's wit once obtained him admission to tho office of Mr. Lamar, when that gentleman was Secretary of the Interior. In order to Accommodate members of Congress and Senators, Secretary Lfitn.ir hud made a rule that during the hours be tween 11 and 12 o'clock daily he would see no one else. Colonel Iimersoll comma to see hint in that period was so informed by the darkey at the door, and as he was ex ceedingly anxious about getting a word with the secretary no gave rne boy a half dollar to go inside and make this speech to the secretary: "Mars Lamar, Col. Hob IngersoII am outside and want to know, sah, as it am the hour for receiving Members and Senators, when you can see a gentleman, sah." There were 20 per sons in the room, and the laugh created by the darkey's speech caused directions to be given oy uie secretary to admit Mr. IngersoII at once. New lork Press. Sprinting With Bruin. The Seattle (Washington) Press re lates that recently Miss Jessie Gordon daughter of ft rancher who lives in the woods in Kitsap county, while return ';ug home after visiting her uncle, saw a bis black bear standing within a few feet of the trail and apparently wait- inc for her to como closer. Woman like, her first impulse was to scream at the top of her voice; her second, to start for homo at the fullest speed along thet-ail. She had over half a mile' to go. Tho bear, apparently scaredbv the shriek, started on a par allel track in tho same direction, over fallen loas and throntfh thick brush Theracewasaneckand-neck one, uotn contestants makinc cood time, tin ally on arriving at the young lady's home the bear oolitelv passed around bv the back into the w oods, while the other contestantpassed like a whirl wind into the front room by the open door and fell exhausted on the floor Shedid not no into hysterics, but sug gested to her father, as soon as she regained her breath, that he "muzht as well take hisauii and look forthat bear instead of standing there asking fool questions." "Only the kinds that lives in cans,'' answered Nannie. "And papa says that they can't hold a candle to yours; but 1 'never could see why they'd want to.'' "1 should think they couldn't!" said grandma, decidedly. "Awl tiow child we are ready tor the seasoning. Just hand grandma the spice box over there, won't you?" Nannie put her nose down to smell when the box was opened. "Ah. how good, grandma! It smells more like Christmas than ministers' folks. I think." ' "There's gincer and mustard stand ing right beside each other," said grandma. "That's tho beauty of do ing our own work, dear, 'cause they look just alike; but I could go to them in the dark, and not make a mis take." Just then son-e one knocked at the sitting-room door, and grandma had to go. "Now, dearie, don't get into nus chiet, will you?" she said, as shestart ed. And Nannie did not really intend to, but grandma was gone a long time, and by and by Nannio began to think it would be a good joke to put the mustard in the place of the ginger. "Papa dearly loves a joke," she thought, "and so do I. How they nil will laugh!" So quick as thought, she changed thorn. "Now, p'r'aps it will be better than ginger. Mayue I'll discover some thing," she thought,trying to quiet her conscience. When grandma, came back, every thing looked all right.and she hurried ly seasoned tho pies and put them in the oven. "The land knows Mrs. Pipkins is the beater of a stayer," she said, as "He sliut the oven door, and looked at the clock. But everything was ready when the minister's fanr'ly eame.and grandma's cap and Nannie.s apron were 'stiff and spotless. The dinner was good, and they all ate ns though they enjoyed it. And grandma, who justly prided herself on her cookery, beamed with delight over the wav thincs disappeared. When the pies were brought on, the minister s wile said, "Now wo are to have some of the famous pnnipkin pie that we have heard so much about." Nannie's heart plumped down like lead as she looked at grandma s happy face as she handed around tho great golden wedges. Jtut what was tne matter wit 11 ni They all took one mouthful, and then a hasty drink of water. Grandma quickly tasted hers, then looked at Nannie's crimson face, and Nannie burst out crying: "Oh grandma,. it was a joke," she sobbed out. No ono laughed at all, but grandma nroso (md took Nannie's hand ami took her upstairs nnd put her to bed right 111 broad daylight. "() Grandma." said Nannie, when they had all gone, and grandma had come upstairs, "I am disgraced forever! I'll never play ft joke again." "It's no joke at all, when it hurts folk's feelings," said grandma. And Nannie has been very careful ever since to remember " that. Mrs. L. E. Chittenden in Youth's Companion. Regularity of Habit. Ono of the mostdimeult of nil minor habits to acquire is that of regularity. It ranks with that of order. The natural inclination of most persons is o deter until the last possible moment, or to put off to another time, where this can possibly be done. Yet habits of regularity contribute largely to tne ease and comfort of life. A person can multiply his efficiency by it. The mind can neso trained that at certain hours in the day it win turn to a par ticular lineof duty, and at other hours to other ana different labors. I he very diversity is restful when attend ed to in regular order. Hut let these run together and the duties mix, and what before was easy is now annoying and oppressive. And the exact differ ence between many is at this point. There are those who confuse and rush, and attempt to do several things at once, and accomplish little, while oth ers will quietly proceed from one duty to another, and easily accomplish a vast deal of work. The difference is not in the capacity of the two, but in the regular met hods of the one as com pared' with the irregular and confused habits of the other. . attention of Mr. V., who tra at that moment busily enzagod with wnn friend. At laet the frank, open face of the bov attracted Lis notice, and be addressed him with: "What ean I do for you, sonny" "I want a place, sir. "Well, what can you do?" The boy answered eagerly: "Most anything, sir." Mr. W., partly for a joke and partly to rid himself of the almost too confi dent boy. said: "Ah, ah! Well, just go out and bor row me a couple of thousand dollars." Tim lad pitt ed his hat on his head, walked out of the store, then passed slowly down Ft out street till he came to another ljrjje store in the sanielir.e 01 bUStness, fri'.-nJs "it tlie past, Mr. S. 0. & C, then with a bold but honest look he walked up to the head of the house and said: "Mr. W. of W. & Co. sent me down to borrow $2,000." "He did, my son? How is business tin at your place?" "The boy, bavins seen the appear ance of largo shipments, answered quickly: "Very good, sir!" "Two thousand dollarsdid you say? will that be enough?" "Well, $2,000 is all he told me. but if you have plenty I think he would like it if you sent him $:,00. "Just give this boy ft check for 3,000 for W. & Co.," remarked Mr. S. to his cashier. The boy took the check, and with it returned to Mr. W., walking back in to the office with an air of successful pride, and said: "Here it is, sir." ; Mr. W., taking one look at the check and then at the boy, said: "Young man. come in here; you are just the one I have been looking for." And giving h'un a desk he set him to work. The Young Stranger. . The people did not intend tobe cold ami distant toward l ho young strang er. Hut they were. He came to church several times firmly resolved that he would make himself at home. Then he concluded that it was no use, and elno not again. He is now an active member of a sister church a few blocks ivay. A dozen people shook his hand the first time ho strayed into that church, and something in their warm grip said: "Glad to see you, vomiti fellow: don't know just who you are, but come again, come again." He went again. And the next time the pastor and two or threedignified "eld ers" and ft lot of young folks and the big rich man who sits down near the front had swarmed about him, and found out all about who he was. where he had come from, what he was going to do, and assured him that they had a place in their church that he would exactly tit. That is the kind of a church our young man was longing for, and he "joined," of course. That is a piece of history. It occurred not a thousand not a hundred miles away. Tho people in the first church men tioned were kind-hearted people. Tiiey would have been pleased had the vounc man concluded to cast in his lot with them. But how did he k that? Sel.

Among the many new ases to which gunpowder and other bhjh exploslre have been applied recently is that ol engraving, "y means of the forea generated by the donation ol theso articles the lines of aeucate leaves. grass and insects have been impressed on the service of the hardest iron pro curable in the spsce of half a aocond. By old processes hours wore consumed where machinery was used and any at tempt was made to secure artistlo re sult, and days where manufactory re sorted to hand work. Many recent experiments havo been made, mostly by officers of tho army and nary, which have demonstrated the efficiency of the methods. At Newport a few weeks ago a heavy charge of dynamite was exploded by several officers, who were delegated by the government to test a new meth od of electricity In fuees, says the New lork Herald. Somehow a small dried leaf, withoui the knowledge of the officers, had slipped in between the dynamite car tridge and the iron block from which the charge had been fired. When theexparlment had been com pleted the officers were surprised to find the perfect imprint of a leaf in the iron. The most delicato lines ware reproduced with startling distinctnoss. A series of experiments, which were attended with remarkable success, followed. One of tho officers who made tho first experiinoats is now in the city, and he gave an account of his discov eries when I saw him at an uptown hotel the other night "I was rather surprised to find that it was possible to reproduce the out lines of perishable articles upon tho surface of iron by means of explo sives." said he, "and was at fird skep tical, although I had often heard that a candle could be fired through an oak plank. "When we found tho Imprint of tha leaf we made several similar te3ts. "They took place at tho torpedo station in Newport. Wo placed sev eral loaves and flowers between two plates of boilor iron and then fired a moderate charge of dynamite on tho upppr piato. The exact outlines, with even tho veins in tho petals of the flowers, woro reproduced on the hard metal. - Other and moro extended experi ments were attended with sin.ilar results. Another singular fact is that whoa exploded under tho water tho imprints are much tint r than those produced in tho open air. Frequently when a wad of gun cotton is exploded beneath tho surface of the water the exn'oaivea will sink into tho iron foundations so deep that the sunken words and fig ures will be reproduced in raised char acters on iron." Several manufacturers have followed tho example set by the officers and some day probably dynamite will bo put in practical use as an engraver.

In the town of Great Valley, Catta raugus county, there is an interesting curiosity familiarly known as "Tlie Whistling Well." It is on the farm of Colonel Wesely Flint, and was dug by the Colonel's father, some forty-five years ago, to tho depth of forty-five feet, when no water accumulating, it was abandoned. Some time after, a strong current of air was noticed rushing in and out of the well and a Hat stone, with an inch-a nd-three quarters hole bored in it, was fitted over it. Into this hole a whistle was fastened, which changed its tune as the air was drawn up or down, and it was soon found to be a reli able weather barometer. In settled weather the whistle was silent; but if stor.-n was coming on, its approach was heralded bv a warnina shriek of the whistle as the air rushed out of the well. When the storm passed and clear weathir came, the current of an' changed and was drown into the well and the faithful whistle told tho story bv its changed tone The whistle itself has long been worn out, but the well still tor tells the change of the weather to those who understand the meaning of the varying current of air. In rainy weather a stream or spray 's forced up through the open ing. Wide Awake. His Mouth Needed Stretching, liit tle Sue was to have a grand treat in the shape of an after-dark "out ing."

When a sailor on an American ship dies at sea, at the next port that the vessel touches where there is an American consul his money and claims for money are turned over to tho. con sul, who in turn send them to the United States circuit court office in this city or in the district whence the sa'lor shipped. To get tho money the sailor's relatives aro required to filo their affidavits in the court sottmg foth that they are next of kin. Quite a sura of money thus drifts in to the United States court clerk's office in the Federal building, says tho New York Times. The amounts received run from 2 to 120 ordinarily, but sometimes tho effects of a seaman of saving disposition amounts to much more. Recently two bank books call ing for about f2.0U0 and $600 in casn were received. The sailor was an old follow who had put away his money carefully. No claimants have yet appeared to secure tho money. It will bo kept for several years, and then, if no one can put in valid claim to tho estate, it will revert to the government. ton 5S&whs A. H.
