IMmllml yfervwucy. There is another marvel performed by those Ilacai, of whom I have been •peaking as knowing so many enchant ments. For when tbe great Kaan is at his capital and in bis great palace, seated at his table which stands upon a platform Mae eight cubits above the ground, his cups are set before him on a great baJTet in tbe middle of the hall pavement, at a distance of some ten paces from his tabla, and filled with wine, orohber good spiced liquor such as they use. When the lord desires to drink the enchanters cause the cups to move themselves from their places to the emperor without being touched by anyone. This everyone present may witness.

B THE ADVANCE B aokn^^ealth B CMBH AN ARTIST’S LOVE. __ ARMICHIEL’8 sig nature In one cor ner causes a can vas to be scram bled for In these countries n o w adays, and there are those who say that it looks equally well at the bottom of a check. Carmichlel hlmHelf la brown and bony and a little Inclined to be bald. He Is a trine cynical, too. and has accumulated a miscellaneous assortment of strange little ways that must bo awfully annoying to hie wife. In fact, she says as much In her lan guid, complaining way. Carmirhlel's work has always been a puzzle to the critics. Irately they have decided that he belongs to the impres sionist school, and perhaps those big Jointed, green-eyed women, for whi< h he had occasionally been responsible, do Indicate a tendency in that direc tion. There Is nothing of the Impres sionist about Carmlchlel's earlier paintings, however, and yet you would know that they were his: Just as you would know that the indifferent, bored looking Carmichlel whom you meet in every place worth going to is menm-ai with the threadbare hut always de lightful fellow who used to paint studies of the Creole girls In the winter of '73. Perhaps, though, you wore not among the fortunate number who knew him before he had painted his way Into the very heart of Phillstla. We were only a smull coterie, but our lack of even a bowing acquaintance with fame wus a sad trial lo most of us. Carmlehlel was different, little at; you would think it when you see him today. He never seemed then to have the least ambition only to do his work an well us ever he could, and If now and then a sketch was sold, why, there were plenty of friends to pat him on the back and to help him eat and drink the proceeds. And the sketches sold well after a time, for that wild artist colony In the quaint French quarter was a happy thought for a crowd of out-at-elbows boys, to the most of whom Paris re mained a dream for more years than we care to think about. There was plenty of local color there, anil any number of saucy girls who were al ways willing to pose for us, and who considered themselves well paid If they received the first rough sketch of what the sanguine artist Invariably assured them wag sure to prove "the picture of the year!” Carmlehlel has several of these glow ing things In his studio now, and through them all you can trace a like ness to the drab-skinned water nymph that hangs In the drawing-room of Hastings, the porous-plkster man. It's another method and a different subject, but It’s the same Carmlehlel. We never knew exactly how It was that he came across Carlta. 8he was one at the dancers at the little French •heater-ror at least they called It a i .1 WITH A BLAZE OF WRATH, theater—It was a sort of crogg between a low cafe and a second-rate concert hall. We ased to go there occasionally and throw rosea to the dancers, though Carita was the only one that It paid to look at twice. She was really a beauty and quite Spanish lu her waye, al though some of us fancied that there might tie Just a trace of darker blocd O? her husband there could be no ques tion. He was a greasy, low-browed fel low. and wholly a villain. He used to heat her when his shop was raided or so she told Carmlchlel. Carmlehtel had never been In love before, and he lost his head rapidly. So when otic morning Carita came into onr common •tudiu the Commune we called it .with her forehead bound up. and the . oniour of one pretty cheek almost nb soured by a livid, siraggiiug bruise Curnuchiel upset his colors owr ih> I "peasant s bridal' he waa at work up I on -they palmed such things In iho*e ! days and declared that Carita was done with her brute of a husband for I rv*f.

But the fateful letter came and Carmichiel went to the big hotel across the river, and there was an interview, it was late when he returned, and Carlta met him with a blaze of wrath. He had not told her where be was going, and she was diffi cult to please those days. She thor oughly understood the art of making herself erasperattng. and for a moment Carmichiel caught himself envying his predecessor his enormous biceps and big stick.

He slept at the Commune that night, and when we opened the door In re sponse to a gentle tap next morning, we found no one In view except the lit tle Jullen, who beat his tiny fingers against the door panel and laughed gleefully up In his young father's face. Little Jullen had come to stay. About Carlta? The city is large. Perhaps she went back to the ruffianly husband, or, If not well, It would not be the first time that the turbid yellow river had been Intrusted with a secret. Jullen Is a fine young fellow, an up per classman at Tulune, and occasion ally he pays a short visit to his guar dian's home, although strangely enough, Mrs. Carmlchlel Is not fond of him. Whether she suspects what a few of ns know Is uncertain, but some of us have wives, and Mrs. Carmlchlel possesses more than the usual quota of feminine friends. L. M. W. THE FUNNEL TRICK. An Int«r««ttnfr Problem I)«vU*<l bf frportlv* CMlir<»rnl4n». Jerry Lynch has finally learned I he funnel trick. He took It In two doses on* on one evening and the other the next. The senator sauntered up to the Bohemian club the other day and saw two or three of the yoongcr mem ber* attempting a new feat, and he watched them with Interest. One of them stuck a funnel In the top of his trousers, threw his head back, placed a flfty-ccnt piece on his forehead and tried to drop it Into the funnel by slowly lowering his head. After all had failed Jerry insisted on trying It, though all had tried to dissuade him from attempting a feat too difficult for them. The funnel was placed In the waistband of his trousers and he threw back his bead to receive the coin on his expansive brow. At that Juncture a pitcher of Ice water was emptied Into the funnel, and by the time Jerry got through dancing the Jokers had vanished. The senator’* temper Improved with dry raiment, and the next night at the club he start ed In to show a couple of friends the funnel trick. "It’s this way,” he explained, "you put the funnel In the top of your pan taloons, so, then throw your head back, so. and—wow!” Again Jerry was forced to change hi* raiment, and he Is not showing people what he knows about the funnel trick, —•San Francisco News Ijetter. THE FAMILY’S MAIN SUPPORT. The Old Itmlertsker Drp'orn >k > Krone nil** II* Hull to Prarttr* From the San Francisco Pcot: “Now now, now; the:e, there; don’t criticise those white gloves because they’ve been darned. Don’t jump on these poor old black rosettes because they're a little ruHly,” p.'eaded the country undertaker. "For fifteen years they have been the mainstay of a large and interesting family. Yes, I know those gloves have been washed and darned and stitched till they look more like salt sacks than cloves, but thev still sell at thr same old price- J1 per pair. Crape rosettes for the pall-bearers still go on every bill at $5. "When I first went into business fif teen years ago now this, of course, Is on the dead quiet—I bought half a dozen pairs of white cotton gloves for 25 cents, and I think the crape for those rosettes cost 50 cents. Every funeral brings me In ffi for gloves and t5 for rosettes for the pall-bearers, and In the last fifteen years I think I have realised about lfi.500 on them, and I've still got them almost as good us new. Some day, when I can afford it, I'll buy some new ones." kliiliui'* Wnpltl Tour. Just before the steamer l«ihn sailed, ■ Itudyard Kipling talked with a report er.

Formerly stains were con fined to the color* nearly resembling natural woods, but of lAte all colors are used -greens, blues, reds and yellow— which partake in no sense of the na ture of the paint, but stains pure and Blmple, showing the grain of the wood. Tho most fashionable stain at pres ent for cottage furniture Is green, not sage green, but a good, old-fashioned regular green, which when rubbed well Into the pores of the wood and then polished is really beautiful, The two transparaent colors, Prussian blue and raw sienna, make, when mixed to gether, an excellent green, or If a brighter tint Is desired, gumbogc and Prussian blue. A very little of the latter goes a great way, as it is alto gether the most powerful color known and completely overcomes any other pigment if mixed In equal proportions. In staining, It should be borne In mind that It Is not paint, hut stain, and that a very little should be used, a pound being sufficient to stain a whole set of furniture. To get a good color the wood must be light. Oak, yellow or white pine, ma ple, any of these are suitable, and the more grained the better, the moire effect of blrds'-eye maple, the heuvy markings of oak and the picturesquo knot so often seen in yellow pine all coming out particularly well through nit! irunsiucviu color. The best way to apply stain and bring out the grain of the wood la to put It on quite thick and rub It off with u lint ii or cotton nig. and It la absolutely necessary that the wood should he In Its natural condition with out paint or varnish. lly sending a special order to the manufacturers it Is easy to get sets of furniture with out either; but If It la an old piece that Is to bo renovated it must be thoroughly aernped. After staining, a coat of hard oil finish may be applied as a tiller, and then, after it Is dry, It should lie rubbed all over with the prepared beeswax that conies In cans for floors, and then rubbed with flannel cloth until It is quite shluy and bright. After the wax Is rubbed on it should be allowed to harden be fore polishing It. Prussian blue alone makes a very pretty pnaeock blue stain, raw sienna a yellow or orange, according to the amount of color used, crimson lake a lovely red, burnt sien na an almost exact Imitation of new mahogany. All these are what are called transparent colors, and are, therefore, especially adapted for stains; but even opaque colors, If put on thin enough to show the grain of the wood, produce sometimes very pretty effects. White on certain woods has u milky, opalesque coloring that Is very har monious with delicate chintzes. Idght blue, canary yellow, apple green and pink all may be used on woodwork as stains It applied In the way that bouse painters call "priming"- that Is. one coat of paint put on so thin that It shows the markings of the wood be neath. Georgia pine looks particular ly well when treated In this way. Itlown froui n Train. "1 do not suppose that once in a hundred times we ever learn the real cause of a railroad accjdent,” said a man who is always well posted on such matters, "when any one of the princi pals concerned Is killed. In individual cases, where a man Is lost from a train, and his body Is found later be side the track, suicide is the lirst thing suggested, but you can never tell. A peculiar accident happened to a friend of mine. He was traveling eastward with some friends. He left them for a few rnomeuts to go to the smoking car. As he crossed from one car to the other —that was before the time of the ves tibule trains a strong wind that was blowing struck him and blew him to the ground. He whs wearing a large cir cular mat, which acted as a balloon in flated with wind, and it wa responsible for his being blown off the train, as well as for the fact that he landed on his feet unhurt. He walked some dis tance to the nearest station and tele graphed ahead to his friends that he was all rlalil. and would cotne on hv the next train. If he hail been killed every one would have aaid ‘suicide,’ for the pomiblllty of a man bring blown from u train would teem to be an absurd Idea." New York Time*. Tl«* TMkfitvr't |t<*«.

On a recent Sunday evening in Bel fast, Me., a young man in church looked frequently at his watch during the sermon. Just as he was doing so for the fourth or fifth time, the pastor, wr.h great earnestness, was urging the truth upon conscience of his hearrra “Young man," said he, “how is it with you?” Whereupon the youna man with the gold repeater brawled^out in the hearing of the whole congregation, “A quarter past eight”—New York Tribune.
