The dismal H extract would tell you what a doctor's H 1 stipoce I may say a successful doc- H tor's lot is , when his practice lies in a H poor and densely populated district of H -London. Dreary as such a beginning B might be , it would perhaps allay some B of the incredulity which this tale may H1 probably provoke , as it would plainly M show how little room there is for fl things imaginative or romantic in H work so hard as mine , or among Mich H grim realities of poverty , pain , and 1 grief , as those by which I have been M surrounded. It would certainly make - it appear extremely unlikely that I m should have found time to imagine , M much less to write , a romance or mel- m odrama. m Thp truth is , that , when a man h3G M toiled from 9 o'clock in the morning m until 9 o'clock at night , such leisure B as he can enjoy is precious to him , H ] especially when even that short respite 1 is liable to be broken in upon at any HT moment. f Still , in spite of the doleful picture I M have drawn of what may be called fl "the daily grind. " I begin this tale with B the account of a holiday. m In the autumn of 1SG4 I turned my M back with light good-will upon London M streets , hospitals and patients , and m took my seat in the North Express. B The first revolution of the wheels sent H a thrill of delight through my jaded B frame. A joyful sensation of freedom B came over me. I had really got away M at last ! Moreover , I had left no ad- M dress behind me , so for three blessed M weeks might roam an undisputed lord B of myself. Three weeks were not very take out of the but : many to fifty-two , ; they were all I could venture to give i myself ; for even at that time my m practice , if not so lucrative as I could H wish , was a large an increasing one. 1 Having done a twelvemonth's hard 1 work. I felt no one in the kingdom M could take his holiday with a con- H science clearer than mine , so I lay back B in a peculiarly contented frame of H mind , and discounted the coming pleas- H ure of my brief respite from labor. HE There are many ways of passing a H holiday many places at which it may H be spent ; but , after all , if you wish to Hj enjoy it thoroughly , there is but one H royal rule to be followed. That is , H simply to please yourself go where H | you like , and mount the innocent holi- H day hobby which is dearest to your j .heart , let its name be botany , geology , H ] etymology , conchology , venery , pisca- H lion , or what not. Then you will be Bl 3iappy , and return well braced up for B the battle of life. I knew a city clerk B with literary tastes , who invariably K spent his annual fortnight among the H1 mustiest tomes of the British Museum , B and averred that his health was more B benefited by so doing than if he had B passed the time inhaling the freshest B sea-breezes. I dare say he was right in H his assertion. B Sketching has always been my favor- B ite holiday pursuit. Poor as my draw- H ings may be , nevertheless as I turn B them over in my portfolio , they bring , H to me at least , vivid remembrances B ° f many sweet and picturesque spots , B happy days , and congenial companions. B Ifc is not for me t0 say anvtninS of Hj their actual merits , but they are dear HB " to me for their associations. Bi Th5s Particular year I went to North H Wales , and made Bettws-y-Coed my Hj headquarters. I stayed at the Royal H Oak , that well-known little inn dear H | to many an artist's heart , and teem- B ing with reminiscences of famous men K who have sojourned there times with- R out number. It was here I made the R acquaintance of the man with whose V life the curious events here told are H -connected. H On the first day after my arrival at H < Bettws my appreciation of my liberty B vas so thorough , my appetite for the H ] enjoyment of the beauties of nature so Hl keen and insatiable , that I went so far Hi and saw so much , that when I returned Bl t0 t-lc R ° J'al 0ak n'Sht had fallen and Bl tbe hour of Ainner nad lenS passed by. Hi I was , when my own meal was placed H | on the table , the only occupant of the B coffee-room. Just then a young man B entered , and ordered something to cat. B The waiter knowing , no doubt , some- B Ihing of the frank camaraderie which H [ exists , or should exist , between the B followers of the painter's craft , laid his B cover at my table. The newcomer seated himself , gave me a pleasant J ' smile and a nod , and in five minutes we were in full swing of conversation. K The moment my eyes fell upon the Bi young man I had noticed how singular- Bj Iy handsome he was. Charles Carriston B for this i found afterv/ard to be his , B name was about twentjr-two 3rears of B age. lie was tall , but slightly built ; | i B his whole bearing and figure being re- ' B mirka'oly elegant and graceful. Ke B looked even more than gentlemanly • B ho looked distinguished. His face was . 1 pale , its features well cut , straight and ! B regular. His forehead slolo cf high ] ! B inteilcctnal qualities , " and there was ; ; B somewhat cf that development over the | , B eyebrows which phrenologists , I be- ' | B lieve , consider as evidence of the pos- ' | cession of imagination. The general expression of his lace was one of sad ness , and its refined beauty was heightened by a pair of soft , dark , dreamy-looking eyes. It only remains to add that , from his attire , I judged him to be an artist a professional artist to the backbone. In the course of conversation I told him how I had classified him. He smiled. "I am only an amateur " " , he said ; "an idle man , nothing more and you ? " "Alas ! I am a doctor. " "Then we shall not have to answer to each other for our sins in painting. " We talked on pleasantly until our bodily wants were satisfied. Then came that pleasant craving for tobacco which , after a good meal , is natural tea a well-regulated digestion. "Shall wo go and smoke outside ? " said Carriston. "The night is delic ious. " We went out and sat on one of the wooden benches. As my new friend said , the night was delicious. There was scarcely a breath of air moving. The stars and the moon shone brightly , and the rush of the not far distant stream came to us with a soothing mur mur. Near us were three or four jovial young artists. They were in merry mood ; one of them had that day sold a picture to a tourist. We listened to their banter until , most likely growing thirsty , they re-entered the inn. Carriston had said little since we had been out of doors. He smoked his cigar placidly and gazed up at the skies. With the white moonlight falling on his strikingly beautiful face the grace ful pose into which he fell he seemed to be the embodiment of poetry. He paid no heed to the merry talk of the artists , which so much amused me indeed , I twubted if he heard their voices. Yet he m st have done so , for as soon as- they had left us he came out of his reverie. "It must be very nice , " he said , "to have to make one's living by art. " "Nice for those who can make liv ings by it , " I answered. "All can do that who are worth it. The day of neglected genius has gone by. Muller was the last sufferer , I think and he died young. " "If you are so sanguine , why not try your own luck at it ? " "I would ; but unfortunately I n.m a rich man. " I laughed at this misplaced regret. Then Carriston , in the most simple way , told me a good deal about himself. 'He was an orphan , an only chird. He had already ample means ; but Fortune had still favors in store for him. At the death of his uncle , now an aged man , he must succeed to a large estate and a baronetcy. The natural , unaf fected way in which he made these confidences , moreover made them not , I knew , from any wish to increase his importance in ray eyes , greatly im pressed me. By the time we parted for thenight I had grown much inter ested in my new acquaintance an in terest not untinged by envy. Young , handsome , rich , free to come or go , work or play as he listed ! Happy Car riston ! II. "Vv , \TS7 AM DISP0SED TO $ $ M\f& \ think that never Sr | w before did a sincere 1 jgj j friends h i p , one : < % j&n which was fated to r1 last unbroken for flPp Pl l years , ripen so lWKIM ( $ qnickly as that te" % k 3jh ft tween Carriston and H myself. As I now /J } look back I find it * hard to associate him with any , even a brief , period of time subsequent to our meeting , dur ing which he was not my bosom friend. I forget whether our meeting at the same picturesque spot on the morning which followed our self-introduction was the result of accident or arrange ment. Anyway , we spent the day to gether , and that day was the precursor of many passed in each other's society. Morning after morning we sallied forth to do our best to transfer the same bits of scenery to our sketching blocks. Evening after evening we returned to dine side by side , and afterward to talk and smoke together , indoors or out doors as the temperature advised or ur wishes inclined. Great friends we soon became in separable as long as my short holiday lasted. It was , perhaps , pleasant for each to work in company with an ama teur like himself. Each could ask the other's opinion of the merits of the work done , and feel happy at the ap proval duly given. An artist's standard of excellence is too high for a non-pro fessional. When he praises your work he praises it but as the work of an out sider. Youv feel that such commenda tion condemns it and disheartens you. However , had Carriston cared to dose so , I think he might have fearlessly submitted his productions to any con scientious critic. His drawings were immeasurably more artistic and power ful than mine. He had undoubtedly great talent , and I was much surprised to find that good as he was at laed- scape , he was even better at the figure. " ' He could , with a firm , bold hand , draw : rapidly the most marvelous likenesses. ' So spirited and true were some of tly > studies he showed me , that I could j : without flattery advise him , provided I 'lie could finish as he began , to. keep . I entirely to the higher branch of the art. I ' I have now before me a series of out- j line faces drawn by him many of I i them from memory ; and as I look at I ' them the original of each comes at once before my eyes. From the very first I had been much Interested in the young man , and as day by day went by , and the peculiari ties of his character were revealed to me , my interest grew deeper and deep er. I flatter myself that I am a keen observer and skillful analyst of per sonal character , and until now fancied that to write a description of its com ponent parts was an easy matter. Yet when I am put to the proof I find it no simple task to convey in words a proper idea of Charles Carriston's men tal organization. I soon discovered that he was , I may nay , afflicted by a peculiarly sensitive nature. Although strong , and appar ently in good health , the very changes of the weather seemed to affect him al most to the same extent as they affect a flower. Sweet as his disposition al ways was , the tone of his mind , his spirits , his conversation , varied , as it were , with the atmosphere. He was full of imagination , and that imagina tion , always rich , was at times weird , even grotesquely weird. Not for one moment did he seem to doubt the sta bility of the wild theories he started , or the possibility of the poetical dreams he dreamed being realjzcd. He had his faults of course ; he was hasty and im pulsive ; indeed to me one of the great est charms about the boy was that , right or wrong , each word he spoke came straight from his heart. So far as I could judge , the whole crganization of his mind was too high ly strung , too finely wrought for every day use. A note of joy , of sorrow , even of pitj' , vibrated through it too strongly for his comfort or well-being. As yet it had not been called upon to bear the test of love , and fortunately 1 use the word advisedly fortunately he was not , according to the usual sig nificance of the word , a religious man , or I should have thought it not unlikely that some day he would fall a victim to lhat religious mania so well known to my professional brethren , and have de veloped hysteria or melancholia. He might even have fancied himself a mes senger sent from heaven for the re generation of mankind. From natures like Carriston's are prophets made. In short , I may say that my exhaust ive study of my new friend's character resulted in a certain amount of un easiness as . to his future an uneasi ness not entirely free from professional curiosity. Although the smile came readily and frequently to his lips , the general bent of his disposition was sad , even despondent and morbid. And yet few young men's lives promised to be so pleasant as Charles Carriston's. I was rallying him one day on hi3 future rank and its responsibilities. "You will , of course , be disgustingly rich , " I said. Carriston sighed. "Yes , if I live loii enough ; but I don't suppose I shall. " " • ? "Why in the world shouldn't you ? You look pale and thin , but are in cap ital health. Twelve long miles we have walked to-day you never turned a hair. " Carriston made no reply. He seemed In deep thought. "Your friends ought to look after you and get you a wife , " I said. "I have no friends , " he said , sadly. "No nearer relation than a cousin a good deal older than I am , who looks upon me as one who was born to rob him of what should be his. " "But > by the law of primogeniture , so sacred to the upper ten thousand , lie must know you are entitled to it. " "Yes ; but for years and years I v/as always going to die. My life was not thought Avorth six months * purchase. A.11 of a sudden I got well. Ever since then I have seemed , even to myself , a kind of interloper. " "It must be unpleasant to have a man longing for one's death. All the more reason you should marry , and put other lives between him and the title. " ( TO BE CONTIXCED.I A Novel rian of Building- . A German inventor has built a house of hollow tubes , whose advantages are , he says , a constant temperature , and in cidentally strength , comfort and beau ty. He. first put up a frame of water tubing , allowing continuous circula tion to a stream of water. Around this frame he put his house in the ordinarj1way. . The peculiarity is that all floors and ceilings are crossed and recrossed by the water pipes. The water , having passed through horizon tal tubes under the floors and ceilings , passes through the vertical tubes un til all have been gone through. In the summer fresh , ccol water circulates un der pressure through the net work of tubes , cools off the walls , and after having run its course , flows consider ably warmer than when it entered. In its course it has absorbed much heat , which it carries away. During the long and severe winter the water entering through the basement is first heated to nearly 100 degrees and then forced through the ceiling. Of course much of the heat is left all over the house , and at the outlet the temperature of the water is about 40 degrees. The speed of the circulation of water can be regulated , so as to allow fixing a certain temperature , equal throughout the building. Dumb Once Every Four Years. While talking to some friends at Wilkesbarre , Fa. , Patrick Healey was stricken deaf and dumb. He wrote on j a piece of paper : "Do not be alarmed. This will pass off in three days , I know what it is. I have had it before. It • ceems that Healey , when in Ireland ten years ago , was thrown from a horse. As a result of injuries received , he was deaf and dumb for three days. Every four years since he has had a similar attack. lasting in each instance ' J three days. New York Press. PLANETARY SIGNS.

Space is too lim ited for me to give you his description here. SA. . C : Clarksvillp , Iowa.

Infrangible .Material for Window- Lightings The new invention , tectorium , Is r. translucent , infrangible substitute foi window glass and such as is used fo : skylights , conservatories , verandas , storm windows , transparencies of vari ous kinds and in street windows whera ' it is desirable to adm it the light while excluding observation from without says the Philadelphia Times. It was invented twenty or twenty-five years ago , received medals at the Antwerp exposition of 1885 and other interna tional exhibitions and was the ma terial adopted for the roof windows ol the London aquarium , which have an area of 97.C0O square feet. Tec torium is a sheet of tough , insoluble gum said to be bichromatcd gelatin about one-sixteenth of an inch in thickness , overlying on both sides a web or network of galvanized iron or steel wire , the meshes of which are one- eighth of a square inch. Both surfaces of the tectorium in ordinary use arc ap parently covered with a varnish of boil ed linseed oil and it feels and smells similar to the oiled silk that is used in surgery and for sweatbands in sum mer hats. It is lighter than glass of equal thickness , is tough , pliant and practically indestructible by exposure to rain , wind , hail or any shock or blow which does not pierce or break the wire web by a violent thrust. It may be bent in any desired form and fastened in position by crimping , nail ing or with putty , like ordinary glass and when punctured may be repaired. Its translucence is about the same as that of opal glass ; its color , a green ish amber yellow , which fades gradu ally to white from exposure to the sun , so that while arresting the direct rays or sunshine it transmits a soft , modu lated light which is said to be well adapted to hothouses and conserva tories. It is a poor conductor of heat and cold and thus preserves a more equitable temperature than glass in rooms containing growing plants. Its surface is well adapted for painting in oil colors and is used for illuminated windows , signs and transparencies in which strength , lightness and immun ity from breakage are essential , espe cially in arched , curved or irregular surfaces. The only objections which are urged against tectorium are that it is more or less inflammable and that in very warm weather the outside surface is somewhat softened until dust will adhere to it , but this may be removed by wiping or washing , a service that is usually performed by the rain in exposed situations. POLICEMAN SAVES A BOY. The Lad Was About to Ho Crashed , by a Car. Ten thousand people cross Broadway at Fulton street six days a week , and many have narrow escapes from being | run down by cable cars and trucks that rjam the thoi-onghfare at that point , says ( the New York World. One of them yes terday was 10-year-old Harry Fox of vlOO Washington street , who tried to cross the street with his arms full of newspapers. At the same moment cable car No. 8 came bowling along uptown. "Look out ! " yelled half a dozen men in the same breath. The boy ' jumped just as the car bound the other way bore down on him. A cry of horror went up from the eyewitnesses. They expected to see the boy lying mangled on the track when the two cars rolled by. Instead there lay Policeman Wil liam Schrieber of the Old Slip station , at full length between the tracks , un conscious. Clasped tightly to his breast was the boy , frightened half to death , but not a hair of his head hurt. The policeman was carried into a store on the corner , where he soon revived. "Where is the boy ? " were his first words. They told him he was unhurt and full of gratitude for the police man's brave act. Schreiger explained that just as he clasped the boy in his arms to lift him out of harm's way the handle-bar of car No. 8 hit him en the shoulder and threw him violently to the ground. Before consciousness left him , Schreiber said , he made a strenuous ef fort to fall so that he might lie between the trr.cks. His head was badly bruised and his shoulder sprained , but beyond that he declared that his injuries were too trifling to report himself ill , so he went back to duty. The crowd cheered the plucky blue-coat again and again , and many passers-by stopped long enough to shake his hand. Schreiber has been on the force fifteen years , and has an excellent record. A Story of Sir K. W. Kichardson. One of the best known stories in con nection with the late Sir Benjamin Ward Richardson's advocacy of temper ance tells how he had been on a visit to one of the three or four small towns in England which have no public house. Although there were 4,000 people ple there the doctor was nearly starv ing. One day a young medical man carne to Sir Eenjamin for advice as to taking the practice and Sir Benja min , placing his hands on the young doctor's shoulders , said : "Take my ad vice , and don't. Those wretched teeto talers not only shirk accidents , but , when wounded , heal so fast that ther is neither pleasure nor profit after the first dressing. " Westminster Gazette.
