THE WpUNO. Fling tha gay stuffs above It, The scar that the wound lias lefts Hide It with glowing flowers. With fingers quick and deft; Speak as l* never a weapon, Ileld In a reckless hand.

And love and faith and trust Are things too fair and dainty To tread life's common dust. Only when all is over. The curtain drawn o'er the play: When the voice has hushed its pleading.

Kadour-ben-Cherifa, sergeant major in a native regiment of tirailleurs, was al most dying the evening they carried him to Bippert’s sawmill on the 8anerbach, and for five long weeks, racked by the pain of his wounds and bnrning with fever, he lived as though in a dream. At times he thought himself still iu the thick at battle, shonting and leaping through the flaxfieldB of Wissembourg, or, again, he was away off in Algeria, ia the house of his father, the caid of the Matinatas. At last one day he opened his eyes and became vaguely conscious of a bright, calm, white curtained room, with green branches swaying outside its windows in the soft, tempered sunshine, and near his bed a silent little sister of charity, but a little sister without beads or silver cross or blue veil; only two heavy braids she had, falling down over a velvet bodice. From time to time some one would call out, “Katel! Katel!” and the girl would go away on tiptoe, and the wounded boy could hear in the distance a sonorous yonng voice, as refreshing to listen to as the brook running under the sawmill’s window’s. Kadour-ben-Cherifa has been ill a long time, but the Ripperts have taken such good care of him tliai his wounds are healed, and they have hidden him so well that the Prussia^ have not found him to send him t-e itj'of cold in the Mayence prisons. be commences to talk, to show his white teeth and to take a few steps around the room, letting one of his sleeves—the one with a wide, gaping hole in the midst of its embroideries— fall empty over a well dressed and ban daged bnt still impotent arm. Every day Katel carries u wicker chair down into the little sawmill garden for the conva lescent and finds for him the snnniest corner, along the wall, where the grapes ripen quickest, and Kadour, who, being a caid’s son, was educated at the Arabian college iu Algiers, thanks her in some what barbarous French, well sprinkled with bono bezeffs and macach bonos. Without realizing it, the yonng Arab is under a spell. This easy gayety of a Frankish girl, whose life is as free as a bird’s, without enveloping veils out of doors or barred windows at home, aston ishes and enchants him. So different from this is the cloistered life of the women of his land—the little white masked, musk perfumed Moorish wom en. Katel, on her side, finds Kadonr a trifle too black, bnt he seems so good, so brave, and he does so detest the Prus sians! One thing only troubles her. Off there in that Algeria of Africa men have the right to marry several wives. Katel cannot understand that at all, so when the Algerian, to tease her, says in his jargon: “Kadonr marry soon. He take four wives—four!" Katel becomes very angry. “Oh, what a wicked Kadour! What a heathen!” Then the Arab laughs a hearty boy’s laugh, but suddenly he becomes serious again and is mute before the young girl, opening upon her eyes so wide—so wide you would thing he wished to carry her away in their gaze. It was thus that the loves of Kadonr and Katel commenced. Now that he is well, Kadour has re turned to his father, and you can imag ine if there has been merrymaking in his honor in the land of the Matmatas. The reed Antes and little Arab drams have played their prettiest aira to receive him. As the old caid, who was sitting before his door, saw in the distance coming down the cactus alley this be loved son whom he thought dead, he shook under his woolen burnoose as though with a chill. For a whole month there was an uninterrupted series of dif fas, of fantasias, in tbe tribe. The caids and agas of the neighborhood disputed with each other the honor of having Ka donr-ben-Cherifa for their gnest, and ev ery evening in the Moorish cafes they would make him tell them over and over again of the great battles in which he had taken part. Bnt all these honors, all this feasting, do not make Kadonr the happier. In the paternal abode, surrounded though he be by all the associations of his boy hood—bis horses, his dogs, his guns— there is something always lacking—Ka tel’s cheery words and pleasant laughter. The perpetual chatter of the Arabian women, which used to cause his heart to beat so quickly, now wearies and annoys him. He no longer admires headdresses of coins nor wide trousers of rose col ored satin. Talk to him rather of long braids falling down, without pearls or gauze or flowers, only intermingled with threads of gold from the setting sun in a little Alsatian garden. Bnt if Kadour wonld? In the next tribe to his there are beautiful black eyes watching him from behind the barred windows at the aga’s dwelling —beautiful eyes so elongated with kohl that their every glance is an indolent ca ress. Bnt Kadour no longer cares for eyes like that. What he dreams of, what he longs for, is Katel’s kind look, which used to make tbe tour at his room so quickly to ms that nothing waa lacking for his comfort and is.which tbs-iife was always dancing like light in the bine depths of water drops. Little by little, however, the charm of blue eyes wears off; that tender ch;:r:a intermingled in his mind with the first experiences of convalescence, its first walks out of doors and with the climate of France, so soft and temperate. Ka dour has finally forgotten Katel. In the whole Chelif valley nothing is talked of but his approaching marriage with Ya mina, the daughter of the aga of Dzen del. One morning a long line of rnnlos could bo seen on the road leading to the town. It in Kailonr-ben-Cherifa, who is going with his father to select the wed ding gifts. The whole day is spent in the bazaars examining burnooses all shot with silver, rich carpets from Smyrna, amber necklaces and eardrops, and as he handles all these pretty jewels, these drifts of silk and shimmering staffs, Ka dour thinks only of Yamina. The orient has completely reconquered him. but more from the force of habit and the in fluence of the place and surrounding ob jects than by any bond of the heart. At the close of the day the mnles, drawn np in line, laden with closely packed hampers of finery, were descend ing one of the outer streets of the town when on approaching the Arabian office they were stopped by a crowd assembled in the street. It was a band of emigrants that had just arrived. As nothing hod been made ready to receive them, the poor things had come to the office to protest and question. The more dis heartened remained seated on their boxes, wearied from the journey, an noyed by the curiosity of the crowd, and over all these exiled ones, like an addi tional touch of sadness, shone the rays of the setting sun. r, Night was coming on to make still more wretched for them the mystery of this unknown land and the discomfiture of their arrival. Kadour looked at them mechanically. But all at once a deep emotion arose in his heart. The cos tumes of the old peasants, the velvet bodices of the women, all those heads the color of ripe wheat—and here his dream takes actual shape; he has just recognized the pretty features, the thick braids and the smile of Katel. She is there, a few paces from him, with the old man Rippert, the mother and the lit tle ones—all so far away from their saw mill and the Sauerbach that still runs by the little abandoned home. “Kadourt” “Katel!1’ He has become very pale; she has blushed a little. So, then, it is all arranged. The Caid's house is large, and while waiting for a piece of land to be allotted to them the family will install themselves there. Quickly the mother gathers together the bundles scattered around her and calls the little ones, who are already at play with the stranger children. They are all crammed into the hampers with the stuffs, and Katel laughs with all her heart to find herself so tall, seated high up in the Arabian saddle. Kadour laughs, too, less loudly though, with a feeling of deep, contained happi ness. As night is coming on and it is cold, he envelops his companion in a fine striped burnoose, which drapes its shimmering folds and fringes around her. Motionless and straight in her lofty seat, she looks like some blond Mussul man girl who has left her veils behind her. Kadour thinks of it as he looks at her. And then there come to him mad ideas, a thousand wild projects. Already he has determined to release the aga’s daughter from her word to him. He will marry Katel—no one but Katel. Who knows? Perhaps some day they will again be returning thus from the town—they two, alone in a lane of laurel roses, she laughing in her high perch on the mole, he by her bridle as now. And feverish, deep in his dreams, he starts to give the signal for departure, bat Katel stops him in her sweet voice: “Not yet—my husbandis coming. We must wait for him.” Katel was married. Poor Kadour!— From the French of Alphonse Daudet in Short Stories. His Reward. Richwood, a little town Booth of here, is all agog, not only in colored circles, bnt also among the white brethren. The trouble is that a certain colored brother who takes an active part in re ligious circles, and in whom his asso ciates have placed implicit confidence, has been detected having a piece of sticky fly paper in his hat when he went to take np the collection at the church. All the coins that were dropped upon the fly paper staid there, and it is amaz ing how the big pieces crowded the little ones off. When the audience had been solicited, this smooth individual would advance toward the pulpit and turn his hat upside down over that of another who had been soliciting the audience on the other side of the house. All the coins that dropped belonged to the chnrch, and that which remained in the hat was to remunerate him for the good he had done in the blessed work.— Bucyrus (O.) Dispatch. Like Unto Like. Lord Ward, who was a remarkably ab sentminded man, was in the habit of speaking his thoughts aloud. He once gave Dr.-a lift in his cab, and think ing aloud as nsnal he exclaimed: “Con found this fellow! I wish Ihadn’t picked him np. He’ll expect me to ask him to dinner.” Dr.-was rather surprised at first, but remembering the strange habit of his companion exclaimed: “I wish I were not driving with this old bore. He’ll be asking me to dinner, and I do i not know how to get off.” Lord Ward I was in his turn astonished, but recollect ing his own absence of mind laughed heartily and apologised.—London Gen tlewoman.

A souvenir of tlio bygone yean, Breathing ohl odors faint as musk Wuioh roses »j<iii in dew and dusk; Its blazoned pages dulled by tears; Its faded Cupid drooping low. With broken v. ing and rusty bow; A leaf of life turned old and sear. Yet still she holds it sweet and dear. For love embalms each simple line Of that old, faded valentine. She pores upon the cherished page— A lily past her morning glow. But fair as in the long ago. To such cs she what matters age. Whose love is ageless, and whose truth Makes in her soul oternal youth? Still unforgotten kisses thrill With rapture her swift pulses; still She cries: “How bright this world would be Could you, O Love, come back to me. As once my own and only mine. My bonny knight and valentine! • “The fault was mine—oh, hapless fate!— To learn our needs and blame too late. When prayers and tears cannot atone For wrong and sorrow dealt our ownp* But, lo, a tread of eager feet Presages something strange and sweetl He comes, forgiven, to forgive! “Sweetheart, to love that is to live. And love like oars can never die." Nor need to voice her heart's reply! More eloquent the dumb, dear sign Of that long treasured valentine. —New York Ledger. An Acrobatic Shin*. The man was tall and lank, with keen bine eyes, looking over a nose like a par rot’s beak. A shaggy growth of uneven whiskers sprouted in patches from his face, and he wore a long drab ulster, which partly covered a huge pair of mud covered topboots, into which were stuffed the ends of a varicolored pair of overalls. With a badly worn carpet gripsick m his hand he leaned against the wire fence beside the register’s office and called a bootblack. Two Italians responded, and each claimed the customer. After a volley of Mulberry street expletives each grabbed a foot and set to work. The man eyed them closely and clutched his grip a lit tle tighter. In a moment the bootblacks renewed their dispute, and in their anger yanked the man’s feet in the air. For a moment he poised, balanced on the wire, and them with a whoop fell backward upon the withered grass plot. A crowd collected, and the Italians scampered off. Their victim, with one boot shined and the other muddy, picked himself up slowly. “Gosh,” he muttered, “maybe them 'ere fellers knowed I kept bills in my boots, or else they were durned hard up fer work.” He ascended the steps to the bridge and wae soon swallowed in the crowd.— New York World. Fast Colors. A useful point is made by a writer in The Economist in regard to the term “fast colors,” as applied to printed and woven cottons. The rule is laid down that the more delicate in shade a dye is the more difficult it is to fix it in the cot ton fiber, but even the crudest colors will fade if goods are imperfectly treated in the laundry. Any of the goods, in fact, that are sold as fast colors, whether of domestic or foreign manufacture, are practically fast, bnt when subjected to the powerful chemicals of which many of the washing soaps are composed, or when hung out for honrs on a clothesline and exposed to the bleaching influences of sun and air, the colors must necessarily fade to a greater or less extent. It is well known that the chemicals con tained in washing soaps and similar compounds are in many cases as power ful as those employed in the process of bleaching muslins. In not a few in stances, too, they are probably of a greater degree of strength, the result being that they weaken the cloth to an extent that the bleacher wonld not be disposed to risk. Shnffleboard. Shnffleboard is popular enough in Eng land and Scotland and used to be popular here but it is doubtful whether it ever penetrated this country as far as Buffalo or Pittsburg. It obtained here in drink ing saloons run by Scotchmen, and the last of the boards are now to-be found in one such place in Brooklyn and a very few in this city. It is the same game as that which is played on shipboard, but in reality both are forms of the old Scotch sport of curling. Shnffleboard as it is played most commonly is played with one pound weights on a long thick board kept well sanded. It requires skill to slide the weights to just the right place, and it requires more skill for the other fellow to knock them off after they get there.—New York Sun. Bg( Socking Boston Girls. There is a new fad in Boston. It has its origin among young women—mostly of the genus known as the matinee girL It is drinking raw eggs at the soda foun tain in “ladies’ lunch” places and similar innocuous resorts. The girls stop, ask for an egg and swallow it from a glass without blinking.—Providence Journal. In the Medical museum, Washington, there are two skulls all cracked up like a couple of eggshells that have been knocked together. They formerly be longed to a couple of Norfolk negroes who butted each other to death because a woman couldn’t decide which of the two she liked the better. The sooner a man finds that he has not the capacity to know even one thing thoroughly, the more general and reli- j able information he will begin to accu mulate concerning the world in general. —Milwaukee Journal. The royal title beg has now almost disappeared, and when used in the alter ed form of bey is applied to a military rank in the Turkish army.

THE TRAINED SEALS. CAPTAIN WESTON TELLS ABOUT HI8 THREE PERFORMERS. flow Do and a Famous German Fisherman Captured Bobby, Blbby and Tommy. Some of Their Tricks—They Live Upon Salt Water Fish. Of all the different animals that go to make up the animal kingdom a fish is tjerhaps the strangest that should he :hosen for training, yet the acts dune by the three seals under Captain Weston ’a guidance show that even a fish cun do wonderful things. Those now perform ing every day are the oldest seals in captivity. Seals are extremely delicate, and they rarely live away from their native aea and rocks for more than a year, and yet these seals, Bobby, Bibby and Tommy, have been performing reg ularly for six years. Their longevity is undoubtedly due to tbe fact that they receive great care. Tbe exact spot of the birthplace of these seals is not known, but when they were youngsters they were found on one of the islands off Coxshaven in Germany. Tbe German government does all it can to protect its fisheries, and as seals are a constant menace to fish the govern ment pays a reward of 5 marks for tbe capture of each seal. There is a famous Beal fisherman in Germany nam d '.Vortbman, and when Captain Weston, who bad been on many sealing and whaling expeditions in the North sea, determined that he would give up the life of a sailor and become a landlubber it occurred to him that the training of seals wonld be uovel and profitable. He went to Worthman, and together they captured the three sleek little fellows. There are many islands outside of Coxs haven, and one of the smallest was chosen. In describing the capture Cap tain Weston said: We stretched the net on one side of one of tbe smaller islands and then went to the others and shot oil pistols and made a noise, driving many seals into the wa ter and against the Det. We bad to work very quickly, because the sealB dived down and became entangled in the net, and a seal will drown if kept five minutes under water. When we finally palled them up, we found that we had about 20 seals, but when they found themselves altogether they became en raged and fought among themselves, biting, scratching and tearing, even killing one another, until there were only three left, aud these three are tbe same three 1 have today. One has only a faint idea of the amount of patience which it requires to teach a fish, for such a seal really is. It looks easy to see oue of my seals play the banjo or a harp, but it took me three months of hard work every day to teach them to do this even in an im perfect manner, and the only reason that 1 can give is that they have been at it long enough to learn. 1 have never before known a seal to live in captivity over one year, and yet 1 have bad mine many times that. 1 am often surprised at their intelligence. Especially is this true of Bobby, the clown. 1 believe that that fish under stands humor, because be does things at times which actually make me langh, to say nothing about the audience. He is the best seal I ever had, the best 1 ever will have, and I think that he has an affection for me, and that he knows almost everything that 1 say to him. Yes. the care of seals is a great one. 1 keep them in a tank, and above the water is a shelf for them to lie on when they feel so inclined. This water is changed three times a day, and 20 pounds of salt are put into the water at each change, for a seal cannot live in fresh water, yon know. They are as plump and fat today aa they were lying on their native rocks in the North sea, and they know a great deal more about the world than they otherwise would have known. It may surprise some people, but it is nevertheless a fact, that these three seals eat 500 pounds of fish a week. They will only eat sea fish, such as herring or flounder, and I attribute their long life to the fact that 1 am very careful with their food. The fish are washed and cleaned and the heads cnt off jnst as carefully and jnst as cleanly as though going on a hotel table. The seal does not chew a fish, but swallows it whole, and it would surprise you to see how a great mass of fish will disappear when three seals get at it. All the accomplishments of these Beals are not shown. They have been tanght water tricks. I can throw a 10 cent piece into a tank of water, and, amall as the piece is and flat as it lies on the bottom, at a word of command any one of my seals will dive for it and get it. This 1 do not show in pnblic, because the tank is an nnwieldy thing to keep abont. Have they ever bitten me? Yes, sev eral times, and the seal’s bite is a nasty one. The last time was when 1 placed the tambourine in front of Bibby. Without warning he grabbed me by the arm. and 1 certainly thought he would take a big piece out of it before 1 could make bim let go, and I was obliged to strike bim very severely before 1 could get him to let loose. My seals to me are great pets, and i think as much of them as 1 would of a child, for their great, big, intelligent eyes look up into mine with an expression which tells me it they only knew -how they would cer tainly talk to me.—New York Tribune. Aluminium Instruments. A physician who got rid of some of his steel instruments and bought others made of aluminium says that be is sor ry that he changed. The aluminium probes, sounds, tongue depressers and that sort of thing do not oxidize, to be sure, but he finds that they are deficient in elasticity and stay bent after pres sure. He declares, moreover, that he likes to feel as if he had a hold on some thing when he uses an instrument, and aiominiom is so light that it makes him leel as if he could put no trnat in it.—Exchange.
