At a recent London dinner a novelty was mtroatred m tne snape of a menu which soon bids fair to become a fad in London circles, and which Is original enough to deserve mention. The eldest child of the house, Miss Enid Dickens is , photographed by her aunt, well known in London as an amateur photographer. The photograph was presented to each guest as a menu card. The little girl Is represented spreading out a tablecloth ou which is the word "menu." Following this word there Is room for the viands. The idea is a pretty one, and It will doubtless find many Imitators, especial ly on such occasions as family reunions and notably in the case of a dinner given for a child's birthday. New York World.

There Is a shout from somebody, and then a alienee. The revolver in the scuffle had gone off! Through the house tbe sharp crack of a bullet rings loudly, rousing many from their slumbers. Lights can be seen in tbe passages; terrified faces peep out from half opened doors. Dora Talbot, coming into the corridor in a pale pink cash mere dressing gown trimmed with swan's-down, in which she looks tbe very personification of innocense and youth, screams loudly, and demands hysterically to be informed as to the cause of the unusual noise. The servants have rushed from their quarters In alarm. Ethel ViUlers, with a pale scared face, runs to Florence Delmaioe's room, and throws her arms round that young lady as she comes out Dale but composed, to ask in a clear tone what has happened. As nobody knows, and as Florence In her heart is more frightened than she cares to confess, being aware through Adrian that some of the men are still up In the smoking room, and fearing that a quarrel had risen among them, she proposes that they should go to the smokins-room in a body and moke inquiries. Old Lady FitzAlmont, with Lady Gertrude sobbolng ou her arm, seconds this proposal; and, being a veteran of much distinction, takes the lead. Those following close behind, are glad of this, and hopeful because of it, her appearance being calculated to rout any enemy. The awful character of her dressing-gown and the severity of the night-cap that crowns her martial head would strike terror to Die hearts of any midnight marauders. They all move off In a body, and guided on consciously by Florence, approach tbe smoking-room. Voices loud in conversation can be heard as they draw near: the door is slightly ajar. Florence drawing back as ibey come up to it, the old lady waves her aside, and advances boldly to the front. Flinging wide open the door, she bursts upon the astonished Company within. "Where is he?" she asks, with a dig nity that only heightens the attrac tion of the cap and gown. "Have you secured him? ".-ir Adriau, where is th nonstable? Have roil sent for him?" Sir Adrian, whose gaite is fixed upjn the fair vision in the trailing white sown standing timidly in the door-way, forgets to answer his Interrogator, and the others, taken by surprise, maintain a solemn silence. "Why this mystery r demands Lady FltiAlmont sternly. "Where is the miscreant? Where Is the man that fired that murderous shot?" "Here, madame," replies the sur geon dryly, indicating Arthur Dyne- court by a motion of the hand. "He who? Mr. Dynecoart?" ejacu lates her ladyship In a disappointed tone. "It was all a mistake, then? I most say, Mr. Dynecourt," continues the old lady in an indignant tone, that I think yon might find a more suitable time in which to play off your Jokes, or to practice target shooting, than in the middle of the night, when every respectable household ought to be wrapped in slumber." "I assure yon, begins Arthur Dyne court, who is strangely pale and dis composed, It was all an accident- IKS 1 11 ft Ill AH.tanl' Nonsense, sin I don't believe there was any accident whatso ever km tkoaa vnrda nttas tha Hnfl Of the rrasdbk) old Lady FitzAlmont has just pat their own thoughts Into words? "Let me explain to your ladyship," says Sir Adrian courteously. We were Jost talking about that unfortunate affair of the Stewarts, and Maitland was showing us how it might hare oc curred. I had the revolver In my hand to" pointing the weapon toward him- self. Put down that abominable weapon at once, sir!" commands Lady Fitz Almont, in a menacing tone, largely mingled with abject fear. As she speaks tbe retreats precipitately behind Florence, thus pushing that young lady to tbe fore. "When my cousin unhappily stumbled against me, aud the revolver went off," goes on Sir Adrian. "I'm deeply grieved, Lady FRiAlmont, that this should hare occurred to disturb the household; but, really, It was a pure aecMent- "A oars accident," repeats Arimu, from between his eoiorieas lips. He looks fir more distress eu oy una oeeonvaca than Sir Adrian, who had aaeaned belnff wounded. This only showed hit tenderness and proper feeling, as almost all the women Msent mutually agreed.

"It might have meant death to Sir Adrian!" Florence changes color and glances at her host with parted lips. Dora Talbot, pressing her way through tbe group in the door-way, goes straight up to him as if impulsively, and takes his hand in both hers. "Dear Sir Adrian, how can we be thankful enough foo your escape?" she says sweetly, tears standing in her bright blue eyes. She press his band warmly, and even ra ses it to ber lips in a transport of emotion. Standing there in tbe pretty pink dressing-gown that shows off her complexion to per fection, Dora Talbot looks lovely. 'You are very good very kind," re turns Sir Adrian, really touched by hei eoccern, but still with eyes only for the white vision in the doorway; ''but you make too much of nothing. I am ouly sorry I have been the unhappy cause of rousing you from your rosy dreams; you will not thank me tomor row when there will be only lilies in your cheeks." Tbe word lily brings back to him his last interview with Florence. He glances burridly at her right hand; yes, the rame lily Is clasped in her fin gers. Has she sat ever since with his gift before her, in her silent chamber? Along in grief perhaps. But why has she kept his flower ? What can it all mean? "We shall mind nothing, now you are safe," Dora assures him tremulously- "I think 1 might be shown some con sideration," puts in Arthur, trying by violent effort to assert himself, and to speak lightly. "Had anything happened surelv 1 should have been the one to be pitied. It would have been my fault, aud, Mrs. Talbot, 1 think you might show some pity for me." He holds out his hand, and mechanically Dura lays her own in it. Hut it is only for an instant, and she shudders violently as his touch meets hers. Her eyes are on the ground, and she can not bring herself to look at In m. Drawing ber fingers hurriedly from his, she goes to the door and dis appears from view. In the meantime, Sir Adrian, having made his way to Florence, points to the lily. "You have held it ever since?" he asks, in a low tone. "I hardly hoped for so much. But yeu have not con gratulated me, you alone have said nothing." ' Why need 1 speak ? I have seen you witli my own eyes. You are safe. Believe me, Sir Adrian, I congratulate yrra most sincerly upon your escape.' Her words are cold, her eyes down cast. She Is deeply annoyed with lier sflf for having carried the lily into his presence here. The very fact of his having noticed it and spoken to ber about it has shown her how much im portance he has attached to her doing so. What will he think of her. He will donbtless picture her to himself sitting weeping and brooding over a flower given to her by a man who loves her not, and to whom she has given her love unsolicited. Her marked coldness so oppresses him that he steps back, and does not venture to address her again. It occurs to him that she is reserved because of Arthur's presence. Presently, Lady Fitz Almonf, marshaling her forces anew, carries them all away to their rooms, soundly rating the sobbing Lady Gertrude for her want of self-control. The men too, shortly afterward disperse, and one by one drift away to their rooms. Captain Ringwood and Maitland the surgeon being the last to go. "Who is the next heir to tbe castle?' asks the latter musingly, drumming his fingers Idly on a table near him. "Dynecourt the fellow who nearly did for Sir Adrian this this evening!" replies Ringwood quietly. -Ah!" "It would have meant a very good thing for Arthur if the shot had taken effect," says Ringwood, eyeing his com panion curionely. "It would have meant murder, sirl" rejoins the surgeon shortly. (Continued next Week) Potions. The most familiar poison is probably morphia, or some slmiliar narcotic. Prussic acid is tbe most rapidly fatal of all poisons in its action. Chemical tests can now be applied to detect with great certainty poison in food or water, and in the body after death. If scientific examination and judicial inquest be possible, almost any poison can be detected after death, either by the lessons produced in th organs affected, or by the extraction from the corpse of the victim of the poison Itself, and by etudy of the properties. As for poisoning being a lost art possessed hi a higher degree of per fection by the Horglan and others, that belief Is a fancy. The people of any of her sge could have taught us in that reffard.
