Market hall was full of excited workmen when Curran rushed the door open and steiitd in. Some would !" onttor had been trying to voice the wrongs of the lxsople, but when the whisper ran alonsf the seats that Curran was at the door every head wa turned. Then, as if In a common impulse, the hole audience rose to their feet, and tha building seemed to treinblo with the cheer that buret from the bra wny throats. Hero was an orator indeed, a man who could set before them their sufferings and wring their hearts with self pity; w ho could make each soul of them wonder at his own patience. He made his way slowly up the aisle with simple greetings for his friends, as they stretched out th-.-ir grimy hands to him. But his smile was so sad nnd hoieless that every glad face sobered as he passed. Ho mounted the platform and turned his face toward them. Ho seemed but the ghost of his former magnificent manhood, but the people cheered him again, and those in tho rear leaped upon their seats in the eagerness to see their hero. Then all held their breath to lis ten; even the girls in the gallery stopped their excited whispering while they waited for his grand ringing tones that had thrilled the faintest hearts so many times before. Would he never leginJ "What is this meeting forf The orator his coining had interrupted, was only too glad to explain. "We don't got our rights. Wo get a little, but thatV all, and e mean to fcts-h the young bo-s to his milk to-morrow; don't we, A shout of eager assent went up from tho crowd. Then all was still again. Now would come tho torrent of words of Hamc. Yes, Curran had stepped forward to tho very edge of tho platform, in his old habit. But who was tho fellow with liandaged head pushing his way so rudely up the mam aisle, as if he bore tidings! It must bo ill tidings to make him in such haste. But Curran had begun to speak. "You are makinc a mistake, my f rtenns a great mistake. The young master has dono won bv vou, and ho will do better, if you will give "him tune to think. Such mighty ideas its have got into his mind can't bo Ktopiel. They will not let him halt long; ho niujst le swept forward. But you must wait for him. You have waited for your cruel and heartless masters thousands of years. Will you only show yourselv impatlentand insolent to tho lii-rt ono who shows himself kind toward you.' Do vou want to niako his name an example and a warning for his cla.v I have heurd their scoffs aud taunts already the air is full of them. Look, they say, at the way the jieople treat the man who tries to help them. Friends, you are making a terrible, mistake," But Curran had begun to speak. Tho light of the man's noble genius had dished his pale cheeks aud flashed Iteauti fully iu his stt-cl blue eyes. His voice, that liad seemed weak and unsteady as he be gan, rang out its bell like tones again as ho saw the sullen faces vjf ten under his match less ower. "He has made your village blossom by his love; ho has brought smiles to your weary children's faces; he has planted hope in a thousand desperate hearts. Do you ask me how I know; I see it ui jour ayes' I see it in the way your heads rest on your broad shoulders. And will you use your" new manhood to do him injury f But theinan with the bandaged head had reached the platform, and at this very mo ment, when the orator paused to let his meaning sink into the heart of the people, he touched Curran on the shoulder ana whis pered a few hurried word in his ear. The people saw their hero face blanch. He turned to the fellow with a look that would brak a man's heart, and seemed to be asking him a question. As the agitator lis tened to tho reply his knees trembled under him and he sank into u chair, and still the messenger of evil bent over him and kept whispering with poisonous breath into his ear. At last Bailes stood back from his vic tim, who lowed his head upon his hands. Curran's whole body shook with the violence of his jtassion. The inert people waited. They know noth ing else to do. Their hero might have died before them, the- would never have thought to stir from their seats. But ho rose at last, and Bailes grinned diabolically behind him. They would hear another story now. "Friends, jou have heard what I said." He sjK)ko as if a groat weight was upon him and his voice camo slowly. "I repeat it, be patient with your young master; ne means well by you.1 But "Bailes rushed forward and, tearing the bandages from his bead, threw them upon the Elatform at his feet Disease had settled in is bruises and his face was frightfully swollen and disfigured. He might have been a ghoul or a gnome instead of a human leing. "lteveugo him, men," ho screamed, throw ing up his arms, "if you have any spirit in you. I have just told him some of you knew it how that boy has stole his wife and spit on the laws, as it they were not for the rich like him." It was more like a groan than a shout that went up from the crowd before him, which only waited a word from the bowed, broken man they loved, to become a bloodthirsty mob. Would he give them that word He had leajed to his feet and thrown out his long right arm in its grandest gesture, and the murmur of tho people died down. His face was as white as a dead man's, an ashy white, but his ej-es flashed lightning. "Whose wrong is it then, this hideous crea ture's or mine J I will settle my own griev ances, I need no mob to right me." Then Curran paused a moment. When ho began again it was in a lower tone, "Besides, the man is wrong," his voice trembled like a child's. "I have no no," he almost broke down, "I have no wife 1 am I am not well, I must go to my bed, but bef ore I go I want to be sure you will make no mistake to-night or to-morrow." He folded his arms across his broad chest in a sublime effort of self control. His blood boiled in mad fever, every moment was worth a world to him, agonizing pictures floated b;fore his dimmed vision, but he would not stir from his post till he had conquered this mob. "Philip Breton has shown himself fair to you, be fair with him. If he never did another thing for you he he has yet deserved your your jjatience. You will excuse me now, I will see vou to-morrow but I need rest Can 1 depend on you J" He did not even look at them; his attitude, as he waited with downcast eyes, was of a man who talks in his sleep. "Yes yes,"' bhouted tbe people, and then he turned and stepped off from the platform. He came down the aisle evy strangely. At first he would hurry and notice no one." Then, as if by a inighty effort, he would walk very slowly, then faster again. Then he would stop short and put out his hand to some perfect stranger. Many eyes watched hhn curiously when he separated from his eager friends at the door of the hall and walked rapidly away. If Curran had turned off to the road that led to Philip Breton's house on the hill he would not have gone far alone, but he did not even look that way so long as the half tamed mob could see him. And the people scattered in disappointment to their homes. But Curran is no louger walking in his first direction; he has turned on his heel and made a route for himself across the fields. Histface is pointed toward the lights that yet shine down at him from the stone house on the hill And the roads are not straight enough for the errand he is on, nor is walking fast enough, he breaks into a run. Now he falls over a low fence so violently that a limb might have been broken, but he only loses his hat and runs on, his long hair shaking down over his pale set face as he runs. Hislireath comes like the puffing of a locomotive; he can hear his heart throb louder than his f oot- What docs he seek? "WTiat will he do when he looks again on his faithless and djAooored wife and on the man who has put this dead light shame UDOn him? Punishment nan wir rr-- Out norning, vengeance never assuaged one pang of human anguish yet. But mercy or pity or reason are fled from his maddened soul to-night, while the furies whip him on. CHAPTER XXXVL TOO FOND A HUSBAND. The drunken lawyer very nearly fell as he tried to step off the counting room piazza, and almost made up his mind it would be more desirable to lie down in some soft spot and go to sleep, than take the long walk he had set himself. But the cool breeze seemed to refresh him murvelously, and in another moment he depied tho green hollow under the dm that had looked so inviting, and hurried up toward Philip Bretons houst. He shook his head wisely as ho walked. It took a prttv smart man to get ahead of John Glidings, drunk or sober. Tho young mill owner wasn't nearly as frightened aa usual. Something was in the wind. He ought to have watched him closer lately, but Giddings concluded he was in good time yot with Breton nt one end of tho village, hu wife at the other, and liimself, tho acute lawyer, between them. The lawyer had walked as far as Silas Ellingsworth's houss when he caught sight of a pair of horses on a fast trot, drawing a close coupe. Elegant pairs anil chariots of that description wero not so common in BretonTille as to make it doubtful who might own this one, and besides it mast have been an occasion of peculiar necessity that called for such unarihtocratio haste. Giddiugs was perfectly delighted with his own sagacity. Ho knew human nature pretty well. When a man gets another in an unpleasant situa tion, he must count on the unfortunate struggling to esca'xt. If It happens to be a woman, ho need not be so watchful women are all fatalists But it takes a pretty smart man to get ahead of John Giddings. "Whoa, whoa, I say." The lawyer had thrown himself in front of the excited horses, and the driver had to pull up to keep from running over him. " Whoa, I say." Then lie stepped to the door of tho carriage and turning the knob threw it wide ojea. The moonlight revealed a woman surrounded with caqiet bags and shawls. A thick brown veil concealed her features, but Mr. Giddings took off his hat to her. "Mrs. Breton, 1 believe." "Why yes," she did not recognize him, "but I am in a hurry," she said nervously drawing back. "Drive on Henry." "No, vou dont," insisted Giddings, mount ing the steps. "I guess you don't know me," His liquor legnn to overcome him again, "names Giddings, aint goin' far, are you " "To Europe," she answered quickly, recog nizing him ut last "I have no further occa sion for your services, I have paid you, haven't If "Not s'much as your second husband's paid me since," he gurgled. "If you're goin' so far, guess I'll go to, I like your family, Miss Breton." "Drive on, I command you," she screamed, and tho horses started. Giddings lurched foaward, and Bertha put out her white hands and tried to push him back. He clutched, with an oath, at something to hold to, but she loosened her India shawl and the man carried It with him into the ditch. But ho leaped to his feet "Hold! stop! police! police!" but Giddings had no sooner sjokeii than the village police man laid his hand on his arm. "Here I am. sir, what'll you have?" "Stop tliat airrioge; arrest that woman, she is a criminal." Ulddings had shaken oil the policeman's grasp and started to run after the carriage, "You must be very drunk," said tho other, overtaking him, "that Is Mr. Breton's wife." "I know that," screamed tho lawyer, "aud I tell you to stop her, let me go." "More likely you're the criminal. Hallo, what you doing with that ludy shawL Guess I'll have to lock you up. Coino along quiet, now." But Giddings was perfectly frantic. He fought with his feet and bunds, and with his teeth, kicking, tearing and biting like a wild beast. "Dont let her escape, I say. never mind me, I'll give you a thousand dollars. I'll tear your heart out, you villain. Stop her, btop her!" Tho officer grow angry at last, and drew his billet, but tili the tellow struggled and screamed like a wild creature, till blow after blow paralyzed his arms, and finally stretched him unconscious and bleeding on theground. "Tremens." srrowlod the nolicoman. as he lifted 1dm to his feet soon alter, and led him along, subdued at last. But a woman had stood in her window as tho carriage had rolled by, and she had rec ognized the equipage, too. A sudden change came over her face, "Whero arc you going, Jennie?" Her hus band looked up calmly trom his japer. "Out a minute," she hardly looked at him, "that is all," "But it is almost 9 o'clock, my dear, what can you want out." Her breath come fast, and two bright red spots burned in her cheeks. Mr. Ellings worth had never seen her so pretty. He must keep her sou few moments. He stepped to the door and turned the key, then he put it in his pocket and threw himself back on his chnir agaiu. Shu faced him with flashing eyes. "How dare you am 1 your slave? I want to go out." Her husband settled down cosily in his scat, and smiled his old brilliant smile. She had never seen him laugh any more than tho rest of his acquaintances. Ho might, per haps, have laughed before an intimate, but men like Silas Ellingsworth have no inti mates. "How lovely vou are when you are angry. I see I have made a mistake in being so ami able with you. What treats 1 have lost. Why, you are better than an actress, my dear. Such coloring as yours does not hurt the complexion." Precious time was flying; the carriage had rolled away out of 6ight; her vii:tim had out witted her her hate would be bulked for ever, and all for her husband's foolish caprice. She stamped bor foot at him. "I must go." There was yet time to rouse the villagers, and fetch back tho fugitives from justice. Oh, what devil of stupidity had lossessed her wise husband to-night? "'Give me tho key." She had como close to him, but she did not scream when she was angry, her voice grew low and almost hoarse, "or I will leave you forever." He had laid aside his paper now, with quite a serious air, and Jane felt vaguely fright ened; she had never seen him sober with her. Could he do any more than others when they are nugrj-f She did not reason about it, she only began to be afraid of her own words. His" was the only nature in the world could have tamed her so completely. Every moment Philip Breton's carriage was bearing the woman Jano hated to safety and peace that her false heart had never de served. But there were fleeter horses in Bre tonville than his; they could be pursued; they could be overtaken and dragged back in greater ignominy than ever. It would be more terrible for Bertha even than if tho blow had come while she sat serene in her own home. To be overtaken in flight would cap her shame. Jane threw herself into her husband's arms. She kissed his eyes, his mouth, his white neck; she covered his smooth hands with kisses; twining her arms about his neclfthe lavished tho tenderest of carressing epithets ou him. Then she drew herself away. Her black hair had been jiart ly loosened, and as she stood hung well down her flushed cheeks. She had raised her hands and clastKsl them over her bosom; her lips parted; surely no huuuui being can resist such wistful beauty as hers. "Please let mo go." But before he could answer she heard a noise like thunder and rushed to tho window. She sees nothing, but the sound comes on nearer and nearer; it comes from the hilL Something white gleams in the moonlight "What do 3-ouser' asked Mr. Elliugsworth carelessly, returning to his newspaper. She holds her breath. Nearer it comes, Philip's white horse Joe on a mad gallop. But Philip U not upon him. Who is that ri.ler, with long, uncovered hair and pale, haggard faecf lie strikes the maddened ani mal every moment for better speed, though now they seem flying faster than the wind. The mnu is Curran. Let him bo his own avenger, then. CHAPTER XXXVII. THE PRICE OF HAPPINESS. Tho Breton carriage had passed the last house in the village, when Philip leaned out for one last look at the homo of his childhood and the scene of the only work he should ever do. He was almost a boy yet; it seemed only a few lnys since he bad looked at the great world only as a play ground. It was a short work he "had done in the few days of his manhood, and even that bad been con demned. Dear old mills, with their bold towers and massive walls, but his no longer. His heritage was sold, his birthright lost He turned his eyes awav; it was more than he could bear. On the "hill back above the vil lage he saw for the last time, as the rood wound off toward Lockout, his house, that was, "Deserted' seemed written on ite stone walls. It had never looked so noble to him, a sort of halo teemed to float above it. He could see the window of the room where he was born, but for what a worthless life. "Good-bv," ho murmured. The road as it followed the winding river made another turn, and the lights of tho village were shut away from his misty eyes. The horses were trotting at their best There was none too much time. It was far better than ho bad hoped. The dangers bad gathered so thickly, there had seemed at one time hardly more than a chance for escape. Peril seemed on every hand, enemies to spring from every covert, and stretch out their hands to stop the fugitives. But the village was far behind now. A few moments more and the steaming horses would draw np at the Lockout station, and they would be whirled away faster than any pur suer to peace and safety and honor. "How odd it all is, setting out in this way as if we were elopinjj." Fhilio was reaching forward to take her mmmmmmmmmmsmMmimmimMtmmm "iTryri inr;fcaA m i T mi in - - i -. n mum, uut no arew oacK, as it ne ere stung. How terribly thoughtless she was. "I explained about tho steamer's early morning start." "Do vou know," resumed Bertha softly, "how p'leasod I am to have this trip to Eu rope r It is a sort of wedding journey isn't iti" . ... , How good God had been, to let him keep the awful truth from her. It would have crushed her, the very thought of her shame. It was crushing him. "I shall enjoy it very much," she said, put ting out her Lund to "him, in unusual fond ness. "I am afraid I haven't returned your goodness very wclL" No more she had "Where shall wo go first r "To tho south of France, God willing," he added solemnlv. Bertha looked at bis face with a new anx iety. The moonlight seemed to bring out all the marks of his terrible care and suffering. But he gazed at her in astonishment; he had never seen an expression so near love in her eves for him. Was her heart softening, would she yet make up to him in her new love all that he lost for her sake? But her lips were moving. "I shall be better with you than I used to be. I I" she dropped her eyes before his passionate joy, the sadness had gone in an instant from his face, his future seemed beau tifully radiant again. "I feel different to ward you, dear." He bent forward to draw her to his heart. He was paid for everything. He hod taught his wife to loro him as he dreamed she could love. SI had lifted her rapt face toward his. It had come the moment he had given his life for. But suddenly his heart stopped beating; there was a sound of a galloping horse, Philip kissed his wife, but as solemn ly as if she were dead, and put her away from him. He leaned forward and looked back over the road they had come. He saw nothing at first, but he hoard the sound of a horse's hoofs. He put his head for jut. It might have been a white speck in the road, but as he looked the speck became larger and clearer. It was a white horse, at a dead run, on their course. Philip Breton's heart, that had just been almost bursting with its new happiness, was a great, cola stone in his breast. And he fancied he could escape, with enemies like his aud a whole villi-zo against him. He could see only one pur suer. Ah, he knew who it must be. And that pursuer grew nearer every moment. "Drive faster," ho shouted to the coach man, "run tho horses." liow like the wind his pursuer came. Philip had thought there was but one horse that could leap so mightily. V.'hy this was that one, his own horse Joe, Why it might be a servant from his home with something that had been forgotten. It need not be the worst peril his fancy could picture? But he dared not hope. "Isn't this delightful," exclaimed Bertha. "There can't be any danger of our missing the train at this rate." "Whip your horses; dont spare them faster." If anything should break their troubles would all end that night. And the strain on the harnesses and the groaning axlos was be yond all calculation of the makers. The horses, too, had got past the control of the driver. He had no more occasion to urge the wild creatures; instead, ho was pulling at tho reins with all his strength, but to no pur pose, except so far he had kept them in the road. The rider of the white horso washntless, and his long, loose hair and his swinging hand, as he struck the panting whito flanks of the horse, gave him on uncanny look as if there were no deed of horror too blood curd ling for him to do. The horso dropped hig flakes of foam from his mouth, foam mingled with blood; his eyes and nostrils wore dilated with agony; his breathing was like fierce gusts of wind in a tempos. Philip Breton know the rider as well as the horse. His pur suer was Curran; and the implacablo laws made him yet tho husband of tho woman whom Philip Breton hod made his wife. They were almost at Lockout. Tho car riage gave a terriblo lurch at a turn in tbe road. The horses wero almost taken off their feet, but still there was no accident; the win dows of the carriage grazed the solid wall of rock without being broken, and in a moment tbe horses, now subdued, were trotting down the hill toward the city. But the fugitives had hardly escaped the cut through the rocks when the pursuer en tered it He had almost overtaken them. He struck tbe horse's white flanks a pitiles3 blow. It was at tbe very spot where Curran had saved Bertha's life from the mad dog, that the old horse, forced beyoad his strength, stopped as if lightning had struck him. The blood welled in torrents from his mouth und nostrils; he quivered like a leaf, and then fell dead in his tracks. The rider shot over tho creature's head with the gathered mo mentum of that mad race, and struck the jagged rock with a sickening crash. Curran was dead. CONCLUSION. As tho dawn broke in tho cast that Thurs day morning, Philip Breton stood on the deck of the steamer Salvutor. The look of feverish watchfulness, that had never left his face, for so long, was gone at last. Tho great fear that had chased smiles from his lips, had given place to a great hope. A divine calm ami peace had como at fast upon his souL Fate had seemed invincible. He had pitted hi3 leautiful mills and his home and his hopes of glory against it, all for the love of a woman who had no heart for him. He had conquered, and ho did not begrudge tho irice, this royal lover; for be had won tho ovc of his bride at last. Below in her stateroom, weary with her unwonted exciteitent, Bertha was sleeping; sleeping like a child unconscious of the terri ble peril and infamy she had escaped by only so much as a hair s breadth. The hurrying ship rocked her gently in the great cradle of the deep and bore her to lands of undreamed of beauty; whero the light of a new eternal love would be on everything. TBE END. crowing "i ait Dy xaterclse. Exercise Is generally taken without any direct reference to the increase of height. Thus it often happens that the gymnastic feats chiefly Indulged In tend rather to check than to increase the rate of growth. Tills applies particularly to the lifting of heavy weights, the use of largo dumb bells, involving comparatively slow move ments, and all exercises which tend to in crease the supporting power of the spine and the leg bones, even though they may be exercises primarily directed to increase the muscular power of the arms. Pull ing exercises, though they tend to increase the development of tho arms in length as well as in girth (round the forearm chiefly), do not on the whole favor the development of length of limb. Sailors, who from boyhood upward are much employed in pulling and hauling, are on the average short men, though often the development of strength and weight re sulting from their active open air lives is remarkable. We see oftener among them than in other classes brawny chests, shoulders and upper arms in company with lower limbs which by comparison appear almost stunted. On the other hand, men engaged in hunting, or in oc cupations requiring much walking, run ning, leaping and tho like, acquire well developed lower limbs, and are on the average taller than other classes. Profes sor Richard A. Proctor. Description of tho Catacombs. The Roman Catacombs arc long and narrow passages or cross galleries, exca vated in the bowels of the earth in the hills outside and around tho city, for tho burial of the dead. They are dark and gloomy, with only nn occasional ray of light from above. The galleries have two or more stories, all filled with tombs, and form an intricate net work or subter ranean labyrinth. Small compartments (loculi) for tho reception of the dead were cut out like shelves in tho perpendicular walls, nnd rectangular chambers (cublcula) for families or distinguished martyrs. They were closed with a slab of marble or tile. The more wealthy were laid in sar cophagi. The celling Is flat, sometimes slightly arched. Space was economized so as to leave room usually only for a single person, the average width of the passages being 2 1-2 to 3 feet This economy may be traced to the poverty of the early Christians, and also to their strong senso of community in life and in death. The little oratories with altars and episcopal choirs cut in the tufa are probably of later construction, and could accommodate only a few persons at a time. They were suited for funeral services and private devotion, but not for public worship. Professor Philip Schaff in The Century. Curtains and Carpet.

Unique and Beautiful Designs In Chrys anthemums Walking- Flowerplccea A Floral Murderess Giants, Dragons and Demons In Blossom "Landscape Art. No one goes to Dango-zaka except in the chrysanthemum season, and the little community tend, prune, dwarf and culti vate their plants in peace until the chrys anthemums begin to flower. Then Dango znka becomes a gay fair. Banners, Hags, pennants, lanterns und gorgeous posters fill the sides of the steep, narrow street, holiday crowds trudge jip and down, and before every garden entrance an eloquent proprietor sits, Turk fashion, on a table covered with a red blanket, and holding his hands over a hibachi, or brazier of charcoal, and sings the merits of his chrysanthemums. The little gardens themselves ore models of landscape art aud arrangement, all so many poems in rocks, tree?, vines and flowers. Dwarf pines, dwarf maples, dwarfed everything, are ranged In prosaic rows or benches, but the pet chrysanthemum bushes are now housed in temporary huts or sheds of bamboo mats, in order that not a petal may uncurl or drop, and that they may be kept nt their perfect stage as long as possi ble. Bushes as tall as those in the em peror's garden, covered with as superb and finely tinted blossoms, are there, but not In such regimonts as in the imperial grounds. These florists, too, have their bushes bearing 100 nnd 200 separate and full blown flowers, and bushes where skillful grafting has made the great top of variegated blossoms look like one well arranged bouquet of long stemmed flow ers. The specialties of Dango-zaka gardens fire set pieces of flowers that dwarf all other floral efforts iu that line. Under matted sheds, which are so many tem porary stages without footlights, tableaux with life size figures are arranged. The faces and hands of the figure are of wax or composition, but their clothes and the accessories and scenery are made of living flowers, trained so closely over frame works that one cannot even suspect a mechanism. The flowers are not clipped, and wired or toothpicked into place to wilt in a day, but the plants forming the lower parts of the pieces grow in the ground. For tho upper courses the plant is takenjip with nil its roots, and they are wrapped in straw and cloths and watered every day, as if they were in the ground, instead of being propped up inside the skeleton framework. Tho blossoms are drawn to the outslie and woven into place, and the most natural effects are realized in this ingenious way. Groups of ladies are literally clad in flowered gowns, kimonos of white chrysanthemums being lined with deep crimson or yellow, and having folds of palo lilac at the neck. The tableaux represent scenes from history and legends, from the latest plays at the Shintomiza theatre, and in one case illus trate the last sensational murder with which the Japanese newspapers have been ringing represented in this latter case by a floral Mrs. Druse plunging a dagger into n prostrate chrysanthemum man. In one garden alcove three youngsters stand around a huge vase of evergreens. From a hole in its side gush Htrenms of white chrysanthemums and a small boy with a distressed countenance und n red chrysanthemum coat. The figures are lifo size, nnd illustrate the story of the lxy who had presence of mind, and by break ing a hole in the side of a huge water jar, saved the lifo of their playmate, who hud fallen in and would have drowned. The boy in the jar is n common subject with the artists who embroider or decorate porcelain, lacquer or bronze. In another garden that is a study of rocks there is a charming little pool in a rocky niche, overhung nnd almost curtained by trees. On u ledge over the pool sits Edisu, one of the seven household gods of luck, clad in chrysanthemum clothes, und holding a fishing rod that has just hooked a small chrysanthemum fish. As n picture, this little lone fisherwoman is the most charm ing thing in Dango-zaka, and the tiny lit tle amphitheatre, with its high rocky walls, its mirror pool and parted curtains of maple branches, is worth raving over, without the contemplative deity being Iu trodnced. The great piece of tho year I? a scene from ancient history, where the Empress Jingo nnd her councilor, Takenonchi, stand on the deck of a chrysanthemum ship, bound for the conquest of Korea, and receive omens from the gods of luck ' and the marine deities, over whom Jingo Kogo hod control. Only the forward.half of the ship is shown, but that is more than fifty feet long; a prow of yellow chrysanthemums and a hull of banded red and whito flowers, riding on a deep green sea flecked with a foam of white flowers. Seeing this life size ship of living chrys anthemums, that has been on view for a fortnight nnd is good for a fortnight longer, makes one smile to remember the tiny floral ships that the florists of the western world build up as marvels of their art. The giant of Alazkn is n splendid fel low, thirty feet high, with shoes and sword mid voluminous garments of highly colored flowers, and the mask face has a pair of big rolling eyeballs that hold Japanese children spellbound. One chrys anthemum man fleeing from the giant has climbed a live pine tree, and two others are hiding behind a mossy green rock. One florist has a large landscape piece, with a waterfall of white chrysan themums pouring through a gap in a mountain range nnd spreading into a stream, whero a huge green dragon with red eyes and foaming mouth is coiling and disporting itself. A rustic bridge, car peted with reddish-brown flowers, crosses the stream, and a chrysanthemum woman leads a chrysanthemum horse, ridden by a chrysanthemum man, across the bridge. The third monumental piece of this season represents a temple drum and standard, some thirty feet high altogether, with a big demon coming out of one end of it nnd terrifying some pilgrims nnd worshipers below. This colossal piece and some won derful chrysanthemum bushes with 200 odd flowers on them arc passing attrac tions in a garden celebrated for its lieau tifnl landscapes. Japan Cor. Globe Democrat. Secrets of the Dressmkcr. "I assure you no one learns dressmak Ing for fun. Sometimes ladies learn it in order to understand better the fitting of their own gowns, but one usually learns because she expects to make a living by the trade." The speaker was a fashionable uptown modiste, and she was telling a reporter some of the secrets of her profession. About the room were seated a number of quiet, neat looking girls, all sewing. "Are there any schools where dress making is taught?" was asked. "I never heard of any. When a girl desires to learn the business, she usually goes as an apprentice, as at any other trade." "How long does it take to learn the trade?" "That greatly depends upon tho stu dent. Usually a girl should master the trade in one season. A good dressmaker should have a quick eye for form and color. She should be something of an artist in addition to having mere mechan ical skill. Most women know something about sewing, and have little difficulty, but when it comes to fitting, trimming and finishing dresses, where real taste and judgment are required, the novice is almost helpless." "What can a dressmaker earn after she has learned the trade?" "It all depends upon her skill and ability. If she is smart she can get $2.50 a day, but she may not get more than $1.50. That is after she has taken les sons for one season. Forewomen who su perintend the work earn about $25 a week. They are women of long expe rience in the trade. So far as dressmak ing at home is concerned, the paper pat terns have simplified matters a great deal. Male dressmakers earn from $3 to $0 a week more than women at the same busi ness. Men are better than women at making waists, which are in some par ticulars like the coat you wear, but I never yet saw a man who could drape a skirt properly." New York Mall and Express. tBHMfijttHMHnaMMiliMMBttHMtfH I trails of Fretseli Village. ' I went down to Epernay, which is but two and a half hours from Paris, on a gray October day, that wonld have been called cold in California. There it was all that could be asked. It was dry, and there was a suggestion of sunlight. Eper nay is a city of 17,000 inhabitants, show ing a queer mixture of the old and new. The wine makers having dealt freely with foreigners for more thnn 100 years, are cosmopolitan. They live in residences built in a mixture of styles, most of them elegant, some of them palaces. Many combine biLsiness house and dwelling, and occasionally there is a group of buildings, iu one of which the proprietor lives, and in the others makes, stores and sells his wines. The chateau style, in red and white brick, is common, poorly harmoniz ing with the rest of the town, which is queer, colorless and Irregular. Thvo Is united with this wealth an idea of com fort not everywhere prevalent in France. Houses and oillci' aro well warmed, which is a luxury to Americans abroad in win ter, und there Is iu the furniture and or naments, of ofllces cHpecluUr, many things that make him think of home. All towns in France would be hand somer if they presented to tho sight of the stranger a less extent of blank and for midable wall. Every building or group of buildings, except whero they form a continuous line along the streets, is shut in with brick or stono, like a fortress. It is the ever present idea that you live in a country where yon know not what may happen next, nnd if you have an) thing worth defending or protecting you must keep it In a defendable condition must, in fact, mnko your house a castle. The idea has been inculcated by so many les sons that it has bocomo hereditary. Eper nay has times without number been bap tized with blood and fire and its vineyards drenched with ruddy gore as copiously as with one of the dreaded rains that ruin the vintage. Paris Cor. San Francisco Chronicle. A Queen's Ambition Disappointed. It Is now twenty years since the curtain was rung down on tho bloody drama which the Imperialist party played on Mexican soil, and what is the impartial verdict of the men and women who knew the inside history of Maximilian's reign? I have talked with several of the leading person ages who played a part in the sad business, and they were among those near to the emperor during his whole stay in Mexico. They agree on one point, and that to that Maximilian was inadequate to the situa tion; that he was vascillatlng where Car lot ui was firm; that he was swayed hither and thither, and accepted the advice of the last man who caught his ear, while Carlottu used men and events with mas culine strength and was, behind all, tbe guiding and animating spirit. She, the daughter of the king of the Belgians, had the heart of a soldier and the head of a statesman. It was her dream to wear an imperial crown, and it was the loss of her crown, and not the death of her husband, that unsettled her reason. Disappointed ambition, and not a shock to her affections, made a mad woman of her. Her intimates here say that there was no love lost between her imperial husband and herself. Theirs was a marriage of state and dictated by no sentiment beyond and above that of governmental policy. She was ardent, ambitious, a woman of large projects; he was better fitted for the elegant life of a scholarly prince, nnd was unsuited to the tempest of war and the clash of arms. Mexico Cor. Boston Hernld. Balloons for Military Use. Balloons for military service in the Italian campaign in Abyssinia have been constructed at Paris, and were experi mented with upon the Champs de Mars recently. A great many scientists and military men were present, among them the Duke de Leuchtenberg and Gen. Fed eroff who will, no doubt, have opportun ity for using similar balloons in central Asia and the manager of the balloon brigade of the Italian army, Count Pe cori. Each balloon inflated contains 250 to 300 cubic meters of gas, and can be folded up to fill only one cubic meter. Thus folded, it is placed In a box of a wagon, which holds the windlass with the cabje to which the balloon will be attached. The cable has a length of 150 to 350 yards. Attached to the balloon wagon is another wagon con taining tho hydrogen gas for inflating the balloon. Water being scarce in Abyssinia, the gas will be prepared in Naples and trans ported iu tubes of about eight feet in length and Ave inches in circumference, in which It will be compressed by a force of 135 atmospheres. Each wagon will curry forty tubes, to be discharged Into the balloon at tho place where It sliall as cend. Tho cablo holding the balloon cap tive Is supplied with two telephone threads by which the aeronaut can communicate his observations to the men on the ground. Several trial ascents made proved entirely satisfactory. Foreign Letter. Drinking, Russian Tea. A fine looking gentleman holding whispered conference with a restaurant waiter attracted the attention of a neigh bor nt the same table the other day. With the gentleman's dinner tho waiter brought to him a cup of tea and half a lemon. The gentleman squeezed the lemon juice into his tea nnd followed it with three lumps of sugar. "Do you drink that because yon like it," asked the neighbor, "or be cause you have to!" "It Is Russian tea," was the answer. "I began drinking it be canso my doctor, who is a Russian, recom mended it, and now I have become as much a slave to it as a drunkard is to liquor. I was ill last spring. The doctor would not let rac have champagne when I was getting well and I would not drink water. I take the Russian tea three times a day with my meals, and after supper I have it brought to my room. I drink from six to twelve cups of it during the even ing. I havo gained fifty pounds since I began drinking it, but it is a dangerous drink," he said, buttoning his overcoat up close. "It opens all the pores, and I am tingling from linger to toe. I should catch cold now very easily, but it is the best thing with which to throw off a cold if you take it at night." New York Sun. Craze Among Chicago Boys. The latest craze among the boys in some parts of the city, particularly in Hyde park, is to make collections of the names of sleeping cars. The weather Is rather unpleasant for standing out watching trains go by, but all of the boys who are in the contest in earnest have no difficulty in finding places to sit In comfort, where passing trains may be seen. If necessary n boy in pursuit of an object as instruct ive and valuable to him as this would build a house on purpose and put au old stove in it nnd agree not to burn down more than $10,000 worth of property at one time. Sleeping cars, by the way, are fearfully and wonderfully named. There Is an Impression abroad that these cars were named by the various men who have risen from the sleeping car employ to a residence in the 'Illinois penitentiary, and that the' selected such wonderful names out ofja feeling of sentiment toward society. For horrible example: Octorara, Oechey edan, Kiskimlnetus, Ishgonish, Pen-twyn, I'ctitcodiac, Syosset, Twohlg, Wakarusa, Wegree, Winconisco, Apopka, Escatawpa, Eutobicokc, Gnadenhutten, Rusiagonish and Tiadaghton. Chicago Herald. Tho Old Tlmo Ham. Judge Samuel Lumpkin lately sent to the writer n half dozen from his private smokehouse, of the vintage of 18&1, that are simply poems iu ashes. Any self re specting pig would have died gladly to have been so idealized. In these hams you catch the flavor of the smoke of the half smothered oak chips above which they drifted with the seasons into perfec tion. And tho red gravy (excuse these drooling lips), clear, consistent, flavorous it is such gravy as you used to find on your mother's table wen you came home from a loog day's hunt in the December wind. I had rather have a smoke house with its loamy floor, its darkened rafters, Its red pepper pods., its festoons of sausage odorous of sage and 100 such hams sus pended between earth and roof, l&e small Mahomets, than a cellar of dust begrimed bottles of Madeira of 1823. Has the art or curing hams in the Georgia smoke house become a lost one? Shall red gravy go, with Tyrian purple, into the realms of the impossible' Atlanta Constitution. It is Absurd For people to expect a cure for Indiges tion, unless they refrain from eating what is unwholesomo ; hut if anything will sharpen the appetite and give tone to the digestivo organs, it is Ayer's Sar saparllla. Thousands all over tho laud testify to the merits of this medicine. Mrs. Sarah Burroughs, of 24S Eighth street. South Boston, writes : " My hus band has taken Ayer's Sarsaparilla, for Dyspepsia and torpid liver, and has been greatly benefited." A Confirmed Dyspeptic. C. Canterbury, of 141 Franklin st., Boston, Mass., writes, that, suffering for years from Indigestion, he was at last induced to try Ayer's Sarsaparilla and, by its use, was entirely cured. Mrs. Joseph Aubin, of High street, Ilolyoke, Mass., suffered for over a year from Dyspepsia, so that she could not eat substantial food, became very weak, and was unable to care for her family. Neither the medicines prescribed by physicians, nor any of the remedies advortised for the cure of Dyspepsia, helped bor, until she commenced the use of Ayer's Sarsaparilla. "Three bottles cf this medicine," she writes, " cured me." Ayer's Sarsaparilla. PBEPARKD BY Dr. J. C. Ayer & Co., Lowell, Matt, Price il ; x bottles, $5. Worth 5 a bottle. Worth Yoar Attention.

Idols usually occupy a little shedlike structure at the entrance to tho villages. ! Every little village or hamlet one passes through south of Agra seems laudably de termined to own a god of some sort; those whose finances fail to justify them in sporting a nice red painted god with gilt trimmings, sometimes console themselves with an humble little two dollar soapstone deity, that looks as if he has been rudely chipped Into shape by some unskillful " 'prentice hand." God making is a highly respectable and lucrative profession In In dia, but only those able to afford it can expect the luxury of a nice painted and varnished deity right to their hand every day. Of course people cannot expect a first class deity for a couple of rupees; al though the best of everything Is generally understood to be the cheapest in the end, It takes money to bny marble, red paint and gold leaf. Thomas Stevens in Outing. Cards la Washlagton. One of the modest cards among those of public men is that of Gen. Beale, who was, it will be remembered, such an inti mate friend of Gen. Grant, and who Is one of the most cultured gentlemen in Washington. The family cards in which father, mother and daughter call with one presentation, are well represented in that of Mr. and Mrs. Marshal Wilson, whose day is Friday, and who live on G street. Washington McLean, the veteran editor of The Cincinnati Enquirer, though an old man, still goes out in society, and his card Is as fashionable as that of a dude. Mrs. Stanley Matthews has a neatly engraved piece of pasteboard, and Mrs. Senator Stookbridge's lightly lettered card looks very simple beside the Jieavy black letters on that of Mrs. Mahone.
