Bj " * * § ? * * * ord as a fair sam-
B pie of my ordinary
H | work. 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 !

"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. "

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.

The following are the readings for
this weeic :
Inez M : Avora , Iowa ,
According the data the sign Libra ,
which Venus rules , was rising at your
birth , therefore Venus is your ruling
planet or significator. You are medium
height or above ; graceful figure ; medi
um to dark complexion ; blue eyes ;
chestnut hair ; rather a youthful ap
pearance in general. Your are usually
cheerful , jovial , youthful and happy ;
fond of the fine arts , as music , paint
ing , drawing , sketching , etc. ; you take
delight in going to theaters , parties ,
dances , and any place where a good
jolly time will bo had. You are quite
yielding in your nature and very much
dislike to see bloodshed. You love to
see justice rendered to all and would
make a good teacher or judge. You
will have a very eventful life and be
a great traveler. You are not prom
ised an early marriage but your hus
band will be a model man and mar
riage will be far more than average
fortunate for you. Space is too lim
ited for me to give you his description
here.
SA. . C : Clarksvillp , Iowa.
According to data you are a mixture
of the signs Scorpio which Mars rules
and Sagittarius which Jupiter rules ,
therefore Mars and Jupiter are your
ruling planets or significators. Saturn
is co-srgnificator because on the as
cendant Yea are medium height or
above ; medium to dark complexion.hair
and eyes ; full face ; the hair grows
very luxuriant. You are very ener
getic and ambitious ; you naturally take
the lead in anything you become in
terested in. You dislike a subordinate
position of any kind and should al
ways be at the head of your depart
ment. You will be subject to chronic
headaches in the early part of life. You
have a fine intellect and can readily
learn almost anything. You also have
very good command of language. You
are quite secretive in your nature and
do not tell everything you know. You
should secure a finished education and
make a salaried position your main ob
ject by which to secure your money.
You will not be very fortunate in any
thing connected with love and mar
riage.
"Lorene : " Topelca Kansas.
You have a refined , sensitive and
confiding nature and anything rough or
boisterous jars on your nervous sys
tem and has a tendency to reduce your
vital force. You will manifest consid
erable enthusiasm with very little en
couragement and will appreciate and
treasure up a kind word to the same
extent that you will remember an in
jury if anyone abuses you. You will
forgive but cannot forget them. Your
talent runs in the direction of some of
the fine arts but whenever you have
made any attempts to study anything
you have found it necessary to over
come obstacles in your path. You are
a firm friend on every occasion. Your
love affairs do not run smooth long at
a time and if married , your hus
band has a spirited temper and will not
permit anyoae to interfere with his
business no matter if he is right or
wrong and as a rule he is not able to
successfully execute what he plans.

THE GLASS SUBSTITUTE.
Tcctorlutn , a Translucent. 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.
