For Lilian to Iw jealous was some thing new. Hitherto any feelingH of the kind bail all been ou his side. Th.? mail who marries a young lady from the Frivolity 'i'heiiier has to keep an eye ou her. and the Colonel bad taken gi.d fare that since their marriage she should have little other soeicty beside his own. That she should venture to have any suspicious of him, however, w as outrageous. He took shelter from her wrath uu tb r a mean subterfuge. "Young lady?" he echoed with Well felgiied astonishment, " ho said any thing aluiut a young lady?" "You did." "What absolute nonsense. You must be dreaming, darling." Lilian's eyes opened wide. "Oh, I am dreaming, am I?" ho drawled. "I shouldn't tell lies if I were you. Hamilton." The taunt stung the Colonel to fury and enraged him none the le. s because it was merited. He drew himself up to his full height and then suddenly turning on his heel he marched out of the room, slamming the. door behind him. "All right," she failed out after his retreating figure, "you needn't show your temper like that. I hail made up my mind not to go to Ionl .Montague's dnuce to-night, but I shall now." And she flopped herself down ou a chair and knocked the top off au egg witli rather shaky hands. Since the day of her marriage she had reluctantly denied herself every form of dissipation, but Lord Montague had been one of her oldest friends, and she had set her heart ou going to his bull. 1 he Colonel's back went up at once when she proposed accepting the Invi tation, and there had been a consider- ,.i.le scene the night before, and, al though Lilian hud carried the day she repented during the evening, and she really had Intended to tell him so the first thing In the morning. The Colonel's bad temper, however. had put the matter on a different foot ing. He had been jealous of her, and now she was Jealous of him and meant to give him a lesson. Who was this mysterious girl who was not to try her husband's patience any more? That night, true to her word, Mrs. Clifford ordered the carriage and drove to Lord Montague's country house, which stood between theirs uud the sea. She danced almost the whole even ing with her host, entirely Indifferent to the glances which were thrown at them from different quarters of Ihe room, and making fun over the whis pered comments which now and then reached their ears. There w as nothing she hoped for more than that some scandal-monger would report her be havior to the Colonel. Her husband's Inflammable nature, however, required no other spark than his own suspicions afforded to set him ablaze, and his passion was fanned by the recollection of his discomfiture In the. breakfast-room that morning. He passed the night shut? up iu the library and suffering torments. He could see nothing but the vision of a pretty woman with flushed cheeks and glistening shoulders, being whirled about by a handsome guardsman, to whom she yielded her slim waist with wildest pleasure. And by the time the dim gray light of morning crept In through the Vene tian shutters he was hopelessly, fath omlessly Intoxicated with Jealousy, and wild to he revenged on someone. The whole of the next day he stu diously avoided his wife, and they scrambled through lunch to their mu tual relief without a word on either side. It was during the course of the after noon that the Colonel coming down stairs with his hat on and a stick under his arm, caught sight of a letter lylug on the hall table. He glanced at It carelessly In passing, and then, seeing It was addressed to his wife In an uu known hand, he picked It up and exam ined It critically- "So," he muttered to himself, "It has come to this, has It? All right, my line lady," and, thrusting the letter uncere moniously Into his pocket, he vanished through the front door, Ten minutes later, comfortably seat ed behind a ledge, he brought It out and . . . .....1 tl,,. .oi-nliiuuli' f.iutiot.wl qllletiy opeut-o toe vi . ....-..j iuhi.v., envelope. "Montague, 1 thought so," he re marked, giving a glance at the slgna icre. Then lie wiped his glasses with t Is handkerchief and turned back the lirst tillgc luar Mrs. Clifford I am sure yon will forgive me for writing,' "naked 1. 1,, , tn I II lake my oath," commented ti. Colonel -'the truth Is, I am In an .. r.,1 i.ole thanks to you, and for the iif.. of me I cannot make up my mind , ,.! out of the (lilllculty." '-The Colonel smiled grlmly-,"Kver since vn went away last night I have been 'deliberating us to the proper course to ... , 1. h ..... n .. o I t . ...Le (lllg it I t(l IMiril ILOI ietu.it il. 1-1 he Colonel raised his eyebrows with .... involuntary exclamation, nuiio, what's this." he ejaculated -"'Ilow-,.ver' the letter went on.

That "M-uuta for Montague' edstle being mo fji-roal. I'll K'veur he didn't fall her Mrs. Clifford last night." Ami with this amiable -e-fle tion the Colonel went back to he house, and smuggling the letter back into its envelojte he put it again on the hull table. The day sped on. It happened after dinner that the Colon.-!, in no happy frame of niiiid. w andered round toward the stables, smoking a fragrant eigar. To his surprise he rau Into a groom w ho wan leading a horse saddled and bridled. "Why the dickens eau't you look where you are going to?" he shouted. Confound you, charging into me like that. What are you taking the horses out for. at this time of night, anyway?" The man touched his hat respect fully. "It's a note to go to Montague Place at once, sir," he said, "and another" "Ah, of course," interrupted the Col onel, with great presence of mind. "1 thought I had sent down word they were not to go to-night." He held out his hand for the letters, and, going to the harness-room, he read them by the light of the lamp which hung from the celling. "1 am ("rushed and overwhelmed with shame," it ran. "I'lense deliver the evidence you have against me to the man who will cull to-morrow morn ing. 1 cnniiot thank you sutiiciently for your discretion in the matter.

"Hear Sir-It lias been found after all, and I shall never cease to blame myself for my weakness In listening to your persuasions. You hud better call at Montague place- for it to-morrow morning, In my name, of course. Y'ours truly, Lilian Clifford."

Look Like a lln and It Flettfct Looks Like I'ork. One of the most jM-euliur specimens of the finny tribe that has even been hooked in this section of the country was brought to the New Orleans Timen riemocrat office the other evening by William Markel, of 71) Dufossat street, and It. Oogrleve, of 2(K Broadway. They caught this curiosity at the Uig olets. and every fisherman who saw it was puzzled at it. None like it has ever lxen seen here before, it Is claimed, but one old sailor says that he saw one in a distant sea nineteen years ago and that it was called the hogflsh. The head of the fish strongly resembles a hog, and the flesh looks like pork. There are three tail fins, but they are unlike those of the ordinary fish. The front part of the curiosity is deep blue in color and the rear is a bright yellow. These colors are so pronounced that at first sight they appear to have lieen put on with a brush. When it was caught there were several other hues, but these disappeared, and the blue and vellow were fading when it was brought to the Times-Democrat office. Mr. Markel said that the fish was swimming on Its side, like a. flounder, In the reeds nearly half a mile from the bridge when he saw it. It would not bite the bait, but nibbled at it, so he was compelled to hook it by a sud den jerk of the line. When the gentle men left the ollice they expressed their intention of having it frozen In a block of ice and exhibiting it in front of tho Times-Democrat. 1 will come and know when tue "i.t !

He went to the door of the harness- room, and. looking across tne court yard, he saw the groom loosening the girths. Here, Vattghan," he hallooed, "bring out that mare again." He altered the stirrups to his own length, clambered Into the saddle, and, without waiting for his crop, he gathered up the reins and disappeared across the park at a sharp canter. I think I've got to the root of Ihe evil this time," he muttered, and so in truth he had. In about half an hour's time he reached the town, still half mad with Jealousy, and already picturing IiLiit self as the plaintiff in a divorce case and addressing the court with the elo quence of nn injured husband. Half way down the High street he spied a constable and hailed him vig orously. "Where's Hanam's place, can you tell me?" he called out. "I expect it's shut by this time, sir." "What d'ye think I care if It is. Where Is It?" he shouted back, beside himself with passion. "Let me get him, that's all, and see If I don't wrinj,' his neck, confound him." The policeman laughed good-naturedly. "It's down there on the left, sir," he said, and, without waiting to thank his informant, the Colonel put spurs to his horse and dashed on. He found the place without much dif ficulty. "A hairdresser's, by Jove," he mut tered, as he pulled tip In front of the shop which liore above the door in gold letters the legend: "HANAM, TONSOUIAL ARTIST." He dismounted, more perplexed than ever, and beat vigorously on the door, while the horse, finding herself left to her own devices, quietly sauntered down the street In the direction where the Cliffords usually put up their car riages. For some time the Irate Colonel ham mered away unheeded. At last, however, there were foot steps on the other side of the door, and a trembling voice Inquired what he wanted. "Open at once," yelled the Colonel, beginning again with his fists; "If you don't, I'll lire the house." "Fire the house! Heaven have mercy on us all! Fire! Fire!" A window was thrown open and a woman's voice sounded out In a terri fied wall; tho cry was taken up from house to house, and. In nn Instant, the whole town was astir. Farther and farther through the de serted streets the shout was echoed, and slippered and trousered citizens be gan to pour from their houses and crowd about (he Colonel, still raining blows on the hairdresser's door. Then the church bells began to ring, the fire engines came, the crowd sot ready a bucket line; In short, nothing was wanting for a first-class conflagra tion hut the fire. Squeezed In the crowd, jostled here and there, shouting incoherently and gesticulating wildly, but unable to make himself heard or understood, was the Colonel. All at once the mob gave way and the constable whom the Colonel had hailed appeared. He looked about hltn despairingly, caught sight of Hie Colonel struggling In the midst of the tumult, and a sud den thought struck him. Perhaps the gentleman whom he had seen In a wildly excited state a few minutes before uttering vague threats had really iniide some attempt to fire the barber's house. There was no other explanation of the uproar. Come what may he must do his duty, and a few moments later the Colonel, hatless and out of breath, found himself In the police court, and the center of a Tlgor- otta Inquiry. The hairdresser waa sent for, and Odd Letter. A writer In Conihlll tells a good story illustrating the Important part played sometimes by bank notes In the ordina ry affairs of life. About sixty years ago, the cashier of a Liverpool mer chant had rts'eived, In tender for a business payment, a Hank of England note, which he held up to the scrutiny of the light, in order to make sure of its gen ulneness. He observed some partially indis tinct words traced in red on the front of the note beside the lettering and on the margin. Curiosity tempted him to try deciphering them. They were so faintly written and so nearly obliter ated that he found great difficulty in doing so, but finally he was able to combine them into this sentence: "If this note shim d fall in o the h in's of John Dean, of Loughill. near Car lisle, he will learn hereby that his brother is languishing a prisoner in Algiers." Mr. Dean was shown the note, and he lost no time In asking the Oovern meiit of the Dey to make intercession for his brother's freedom. It appeared then that during eleven years, while his friends and family had believed him to be dead, the latter had been a slave to the Dey of Algiers. With a piece of wood he had traced in his own blood, on the bank note, the message which w:as eventually to secure his re lease. . The Government exerted Itself to the utmost in the matter, and he was set free on the payment of a ransom to the Dey. Important to Horse Owners. The strength required of an average- sized team of horses, says a writer in Our Dumb Animals, and tne strain on the horses to draw a heavy load over stones or out of a deep rut, hole, or over many other avoidable obstacles, is oft en greater than to draw the same load over a smooth surface fifty yards. It would be a small estimate to say a careless driver strains his team in that manner twenty times a day. If a driver prevents straining hla horses twenty times each day he will save them 1,000 yards of unnecessary pulling, and In the 300 working days of the year 300,000 yards, and In five years 1,500,000 yaras nearly i,ow miles. , With proper judgment and careful ness the driver, at the end of five years, will have, In place of a team of weak. overworked, bony horses, a team of healthy and strong ones. From a business point of view, will It not pay any horse-owner, driver or teamster to be careful and considerate, and to avoid all unnecessary strains on horses? And how can humane horse-owners better aid in making their drivers care ful and considerate than by supplying tnem each month with a copy of your excellent monthly paper, "Our Dumb Animals?" New Material for I'olisbing;. Carboniindum, the new abrasive and polishing material, bids fair to entirely supersede emery, corundum, and even bort, the best and hardest substance of this class hitherto known. It Is made of finely powdered coke, common tabla salt and sand thoroughly mixed and subjected to the heat of an electric, fur nace for about fourteen hours. Th crystals thus formed are washed, mold ed into the desired shape (usually that of wheels) and then fired from four to six days. When the Inventor came to New York iu 181)1, he carried all th carboniindum In the world with him In a two ounce bottle. The product lnl803 was 15.200 pounds.
