"It's of no consequence at all, Major Elforu not in the least. They had been whirling arountl in the mazes of a polkn-redowa, and Major Elford was jtist conducting Miss Har rington to a chair behind the velvet draped column of the doorway, when an uuluckv footstep sent the toe of his boot directly through one of flounces of her dress. No one but nn acute student of uhnmau face divine"' could have tected the spasm that crossed the the young lady's countenance. In the next minute sho was aft smiles. "Pray, Major Elford, don't mind it !" said she. "So stupid of me to wear these long, trailing dresses. only vou know we iioor women are such slaves to fashion." "All the same, it was very awkward of me to step on your dre3s," said the Major, apologetically. "If you say another word about it, I shall be seriously tingry," said Esther Harrington. So the matter passed off, and prob ably the unconscious army officer would never have given another thought to the accident, if, returning from the supper room, with a glass of gold sparkling champaign and a plate of strawberry ice-cream, he had not heard the fair Esther's voice, just inside the dressing room door. Naturally, he stopped. He had espectcd to find her in the recess of a bay window in the parlor, whence she had dismissed him to bring her a slight refreshment; and as it chanced he couldn't very well avoid hearing the sound of his own name, sjioken brusquely enough. "So clumsy of Major Elford!" cried Essie, in assents of hearty vexation. "Just look! A great hole through Aunt Matilda's point lace flounce, that cost eighty dollars a yard, and what ever she wiULsav I don't even dare to think!" "Dear, dear!" 'said Miss Chessfort, "what a pity! But you must make haste back to the drawing room, dear, or Le 11 return. IfflinM TTltV..! 1ail nil fltnoA AhflnAa tA. marks to heart, and went home to-take -. ... i ' x . u.ii. i -i.i council wiin ins auui, a mno urigui eyed woman, who always seemed to possess the delightful quality of know ing what to do in each and every emergency.- "Send it to the lace-menders," said Aunt Abby. "They can make a new flounce of it." "But how am I to get possession of it?" "Bribe the servants." "She will find it out Miss Harring ton, I mean." "No, she won't! Essie Harrington has gone to Philadelphia for a visit." So Major Elford went to the Harring tons' house, according to his aunt's ad vice. "The lace flounce, sir!" said Ara bella, the maid. "The one as got torn, you mean? Oh, yes, sir certainly, sir!" as she heard the rustle of a bank bill in the gentleman's hand. "A dreadful crossways tear it was, and I just wish you could a-heered Miss Es ther scold. She has a dreadful temper. Miss Esther has, when it's the least bit riled." So Major Elford, with the priceless "old point" wrapped in silver paper and laid in a flat box, went on his way to No Keservoir street, the direction triven him by his aunt "Is Mrs. Markham at home?" Now, Major Elford had expected to se a yellow, snuff-taking old French woman, with spectacles, and a red silk handkerchief pinned around her neck ; but the lace-mender was quite a differ ent sort of person. Tall and slender, with blue liquid eyes, a complexion pale and clear as wax, and a pleading expression of face,' she looked like a steel engraving, just stepped out of its frame. "I am Mrs. Markham," she said calmly. "Perhaps you cannot mend a piece of torn lace for me?" said our hero, feeling very much like one who asks a duchess to darn his stockings. "It is my business." Will j-ou allow me to look at it?" Just as she was unfolding the creamy layers of scented gossamer, a slipshod little maid, with flying hair and gown askew, came darting out of a door be yond. "Oh, mem, if you please," she stam mered, breathlessly, "master's awake, and he's carrvin' on dreadful for his coffee, and throwin' boots about quite i proraisqueous ! Mrs. Markham's leautiftilly arched eyebrows contracted slightly. -Tell Mr. Markham I will be with him immediately," said she. "Are you in a hurry for this piece of work, sir?" turning to Elford. "Yes no I suppose so!" vaguely answered our hero, who was absorbed in indignation that so pretty a womau should have such a brute of a husband. "I cannot promise it in less than three days," said Mrs. Markham. It is an intricate pattern, and a bad rent and " "I'll call at the end of three day?," said Major Elford. He was punctual to his word. The ' slipshod maid admitted him. "Oh, if you please, sir, I don't think your order is finished yet," said she. "Master he's been havin' a turn of de lerinm tremenders, and misses she's in the back rr.om a-ciyin' her eyes out." "What a brute," cried out the Major, enthusiastically. "You may well say that, sir," faltered fJie maiden, with her apron to her eyes. "And misses born aud bred a lady too! and only driven to lace mendin' through master's losing every thing at the iramblin' table! Oh, Td like to give his windpipe a good squeeze that I would! And the damsel bounced out of the room to inform her mistress. Mrs. Markham's eyes those blue, dove like orbs were red and swollen wheu she entered, but her manner was as calm and imperial as ever, as she apologized for not being able to keep her appointment. A few s'eutle and sympathetic words from the Major broke down her guard of assumed composure almost im mediately I ought not to Lot e strangers with my troub.eI" sh. tcurinmed, through her tears. "iJut von are so kind, r.d it is so hard to bear, everything by oneself!" Somehow, when Karl Elford went away, he felt quite well acquainted with Mrs. Markham: He brought some niore old lace for her to mend, the next day lace that he had begged from Aunt Abby's sandal-wood scented bureau drawers and two or three days afterward- he called for Miss Harrington's Florence lace. Mrs. Markham produced it, but not without conscious triumph. It was like magic. No break, no zig zag seams all one smooth surface of snowy leaf and blossomt "It's worth the money,", said Major Elford, as he paid the ten dollars. Helen Markham's statuesque face lichted up. It was pleasant to have her sedulous labors appreciated. So matters went on, until some month or two afterward, Karl Elford went home, and took himself to task se riously. "Old fellow," said he, addressing his reflection in the glass, "this won't do! This must be put a stop to! It isn't your stylo to fall in love with another man's wife! She is as beautiful as an angel, and she's as good as she is beau tifulbut you've just got to keep away !" He kept away a week, and at the end of that time he called, "just to see how sho was getting along." She looked piteously at him. "I feared you had forgotten me," she said, in that sad, little minor voice of hers. "I have been very lonely. Mr. Markham (Karl noticed that she never called him 'my husband,' as did other wives) has been very trying, and " Here she broke into a Hood of tears. "Helen!" cried out Major Elfocd, "do not weep like that I It breaks my very heart ! You know why I do not come oftcner. It is because I dare not bring myte'f within the charmed atmosphere of your eyes your voice! Helen, it is because I am falling in love with an other mnn's wife I" Sho looked at him with eyes of glit- I tering, questioning light. I "But 1 am not another man's wife! "You are Mrs. Markham!" "I am Mrs. Markham, but my hus band has lain in his grave these five long, weary years. While he lived, I wanted for nothing," she added, with a quiver in her voice "And this man here?" "Is Leonard Markham, his ioor, in temperate father, and mv futher-iu-luw." Karl Elford started to his feet with eager, sparkling eyes. "Then, Holcn, you are free to love and wed again ?" "I am free!" "Helen, will you be my wife? I would have asked the question long ago, had I dared. I ask it now, deeply conscious of my unworthiness, and your peerless value! Will you be my wife?" And Helen Markham confessed, with tears, that her heart was long ago given in the keeping of the tall young oilicer. When Miss Harrington returned from Philadelphia, two things astonished her. very much. One was that the hole in her lace flounce had disappeared as entirely as if it never had auy being ; the other was the news of Major El ford's engagement to a young widow. "Helen Markham? I never heard of i her!" said Miss Harrington, scornfully. "Sho can't be in society! But that Major Elford always was eccentric! Peo),e tll1 talk'.at 'pavmrrme narticu one time, about his paying me particular attention ; but ol course I never should have accepted him!" And when Miss Esther discoursed thus, people thonght instinctively of the fable of the sonr grapes. Queen Victoria's Costly Mistake. Queen Victoria is said to have a great fondness for pearls. She has taken care that all her daughters shall have line pearl necklaces. One of her first purchases, after the birth of each, has been two or three pearls, tfnd every year, until their marriage, she has added a pearl or two to her stock until the necklace she required was ready. In this quiet, economical way she has been enabled to make up almost a complete rope of pearls for each of the princesses, and ttiose who have seen the necklaces at court, say that the daughters arc, so far as pearls go, well supplied with jew- I elry. Thereby hangs a tale. Some years ago her Majesty bought from a I well-known London jeweler three very j valuable pearls, the united cost of which was not far short of five hundred I pounds. A little while after the pur chase had been made, the merchant was surprised to receive a letter from a lady at court, which read: "The Queen wishes very much to know whether pearls will burn." The reply to this somewhat tartly scientific inquiry was an assurance that if her Majesty wished to oxygenize pearls for her amusement she would find that they would burn in an ordinary fire. The rejoinder brought the secret to light. The Queen had placed the pearls on her writing desk, wrapped in a piece of tissue paper. As she was writiiir one morning, she used the tissue paper to wipe her pen, and then threw it into the fire. The pearls, all unobserved, went with it. The ashes of the grate were searched for i them in vain. They had been destroyed so utterly as to leave no trace. The Queen with her own hand had cast three splendid jewels, worth more than the average income of her middle-class subjects, into the blaze. Ladies' Houxe Journal. tthr 1!HM Will Not lie The question is often at Leap Year, asked: "Will the vear 1900 be a leap year?" It will not. When Jnlius Ctesar received the calendar he appointed an extra day every four years, and his calendar lasted until A. D. 15S2. Now the or dinary vear is 11 minutes and 11 sec- I onds short of being .'ioT? days in length, ! so that there isn't really a fully sized ' extra day to be added to February every four years. Ca-sar tluln t know this, or didn't care about it, and for l.tKM) years we kept borrowing from tho future, un til in 1582 we'd borrowed ten days. Pope Gregory XIII. started to correct this. He ordered October Ji, 1582, to be called October 15, and, to square thiugs, ordered that centurial years should not, as a rule, be leap years. But if leap year is omitted regularly each hundredth year, we pay back nearly a day too much; so Pope Greg ory further ordered that every centurial I vear which could be divided by 400 should be a leap year after all. So we lorrow eleven minutes each year from the future; more than pay our borrow ings back by omitting three leap years in three centuries, and finally square matters by having a leap year in the fourth centurial year. This arrange ment is so exact that we borrow more than we pay back to the extent of only one day iu 3.8GG j-ears. Sixteen hun dred was a leap year, 2000 will be, but 1900 will not be. Any centurial year that can be divided by 100 will be a leap year. Hartford Time.-: His Mind Was Elsewhere. "Anything new in kids?" inquired the' stylish young lady while on her shopping tour at a Sixth avenue store. 4 "Yes," replied the polite salesman, absent-mindedly, "twins last night I beg your pardon " But the styiish young lady was out of sight Town Talk. All the sin that has darkened human life and saddened human history began in believing a falsehood;! all the powe of Christianity to make men holy is as sociated with beliaving the truth." Gathercole is the name Pennsylvania's coal barons. of one of Tne Carieas Wagers; More than two centuries ago, the par liament of Dole, in France, was called upon-to decide a very curious wager. It was between two citizens of Pasmes, one of whom had agreed, on considera tion of his being paid the sum oi twenty-four francs, to furnish the oth er with a quantity of millett, in propor tion to the number of children that should be born within a certain extent of country during one year. He was to hand over one grain for the first child, two for tho second, four for tho third, nnd so on, always doubling '.the number of grains for each successive birth. The number of children borne within the specified time was sixty-six; ana such an enormous quantity of grains of millet had to be supplied to meet the conditions of the agreement, that the contracting party demanded the cancel ing of the bet, on the gronnd that it was founded on an impossible condition. The court agreed at once that it was impossible for the contract to be car ried out; and decided that tho person who had received the twenty-four franc 9 should repay them to his opponent', and should give him an additional sum of twenty-four francos. Surely thi", was anything but a just judgment, for it was impossible that the gainer coul-J have lost. Ho made his calculation aud was betting upon the ignorance of tho loser; the wager was based upoi bad faith, and should have been an nulled altogether. A notable wager was made early in the last century by & French banker named Bulliot. He wars a firm believer in the superstition thai if rain falls on St. Swithin's day tht fifteenth of July it will also fall mow or less, for forty days after. So St Swithin's day in the year 1725 was verv wet ; and so Bulloit offered to bet ain one who choose to put down his money, tliat the next forty days would be rainy. So many persons showed a desire to take up the wager, that its terms were reduced to writing as follows: "If dat ing from St. Swithin's day. it rains more or littlo during forty days nuc cestiicely, Bulliot will bo considered to have gained; but if it ceases to raiu for only one day during that time, Bulliot has lost." On these terms, Bulliot bet against all who presented themselves. He was so confident of success that ho placed money against articles of value of every description. "Wheu his stock of cash came to an end he issued notes aud bills of exchange. All this natur ally excited a great deal of public curi osity, and the rush man found himself quite fashionable for the time being. Verses were made in his honor, a play u as produced which had him for its hero: in a word, he attracted as- much attention as if he had been a monarch or a famous sta'esman. But, unfortu nately for Bulliot, St. Swithin was not true tu his character. For the first twenty -one days of the stipulated time, more or less rain fell. The twenty second day, however, was bright and cloudless, and night came on without there beiug the slightest sign of rain. Bulliot was ruined, and ruined so com pletely that he was unable to meet the notes and bills that bore his name. Luxurious Spider.

The insect cannot be suspected of having taken a hint from Pullman, but it seems as though some ingenious person might contrive to apply the spi der's plan to the lessening of human fa tigue while making long journeys. A doctor desired to send a fiue speci men of the spider to a medical friend who was exceedingly curious in the study of such matters. As the readiest means of transit, he enclosed it in a common wooden box, and dispatched the tiny traveler by express. The box, however, was too roomy for the spider's wants, and as he seemed to have disliked the jolting incident to traveling, he had recourse to a very in genious remedy. When the box reached its destina tion and the consiguce opened it, he was equally surprised and delighted to find that his insect charge had spun for himself a superb hammock, securely hung from the four corners of his prison house, in which he had couched, in sailor fashion, as softly as he does in his native Iain Secretary Rusk's Bravery. He was a brave oilicer dnring the war and one of the stock stories about him is the remark of General Mower, who received him after his division had been cut into" pieces by tho enemy, and he, out of shot and shell, at Mower's com mand, came to his headquarters. As Colonel Busk saluted t! a General, tho latter said : "I have sent for yon be cause you are the only man in this army, or any other army, that I ever saw who could ride further into hell than I can, and I want you to take a drink with me." "I thank you," said CVTlonel Busk, "but I can't do that, as I nover drink." "You don't. Well, I should like to know how a man can ride so far into hell without taking a drink. Do von cat?" "Certainly I do." said Colonel Busk, "and have not had a bite since morn ing." The two then ate together and their friendship continued until Mower's death. Washington letter to The Kaiian City Journal. The Vumlerhilt Charities. It has never been published any where, although it is a fact, that there is a rule in each of tha Vanderbilt households that, whatever the cost of running the house, the same amount iu each instance is given to the poor. This rule is strictly observed in fact, a book of expenses for this purpose is kept, and in it are recorded all of the house hold expenses, including even the hire of servants and the cost of boxes at the opera. So that whenever the expenses of these families increase the donations to the poor are increased corre"qodingly. One can fancy how large these dona tions must be from the statement that in one of the families there are no less than thirty servants, while all the family expenses will run up to several hundred thousand a year. When this amount is given away at the end of the year there will be little or no publicity given to the fact of the magnificent donation. Even with this doubling of expenses none of the Vanderbilts is able to live up to his imcome without investing large sums in new enterprises. A Jeweler's Superstition. Nearly every jeweler lays down a rule never to credit anybody for a clock or watch or anything that keeps time. 1 don't know why this is and never heard any good reason assigned for it, but nevertheless it is a fat. And, moreover, we firml believe tliat a watch or a clock that is brought to us for repaits or regulating will never Keep good time il the owner does not pay cash for the job. You know we do a tbig credit business. I suppose jeweler.? mIo a larger credit business than any other class of merchants, aud it no doubt seems surprising that we have a class of trade that is barred from the credit list on account of a superstition.

DeTastattag Erects of as Overflow f ike Mississippi. The heart-rending and trsmsndouily tragic scenes of a flood in a Mountain gorge are wholly lacking in a Louisiana flood, says the the New Orleans Picayune. When a great levee breaks in our low lands there is a terrible rush of waters at the immediate scene of the crevasie'.-bttt a short distance from tha locality the scenes are entirely different. The water does not go roaring and rag ing thtongh m narrow valley, sweeping everything before it. The yellow flood pouring through the gap, often enlarged to the width of miles, simply spreads over the flat country, filling the vast shallow basin that it really presents. Day afttr day the turbid waters climb np around and into the dwellings, tho stables, the stock yards the tugar houses, the cotton sheds, and gin bouses, while the pastures and cultivated ittltts are covered. The submersion goes on until the country is inundated from from four to twelve feet deep over vast areas. The people retire to their upper rooms, unless, as is often the case with tho smaller dwellings, their inhab itants aro floated away. The domes tic animals encompassed by a sea of waters perish by thousands from ex haustion or starvation. The muddy water deposits its silt in the houses and upon the crowing crops, covering everything iu its re.ich with a slimy mud. The coun try roads are extinguished. tin bridges float away, the railways are disabled, and boats alone afford a means of communication with the population beleaguered by the in nndatiou. Many people ere drowned under these unusual circumstances, many more sicken, at d not a few' die from the exposure and privations which they undergo, while tie suffering for provisions is often so great the destitute people over vast areas of submerged country are dependent on charity. The flooded region is often twenty to fifty miles wide and 100 miles long, and in all these limits there ia scarcely a spot of dry ground. Such a state of things may last one or two months before the waters subside, and then dry land fit to stand on, much less to plough, is slow iu making its appearance. Such is a Hood in Louisiana. If it has not the overwhelmingly terrible and in stantaneous cataclysmic features of a Jchnttowu traedy,it is sufficiently deadly and dreadful. Let it not bo considered lightly. Bit! ion ary of the Thibetan Langnage. Abbe Desgodius, vicar apostolie of Thi bet, who has been a missionary in the Chi nese borders of that conntry for thirty five years, and whose name occurs in every modern book of travels in that region, has lately returned to France with the manu script of a dictionary of the Thibetan lan guage on which bo has labored for a quar ter of a century, and which he is desirous o: having published in Europe.

John Ben nett reported tht when in Chesapeake bay, off Pcint-no-pcint, on the afternoon of the 17th, with a light breeze from the westward, two whales were sect first on the port bow, distant about a quarter of niilf. fashing the water iuto foam. As the ves;l drew nearer it was seen that one was about 30 feet in length, the other a little larger, and that they were engaged in a dea Jly combat. The whales would rush at each other, sometimes striking with their huge, square heads, hut oftener dodging the blows, and the smaller seamed to have the best of it. They sounded often and as often as they ome to the surfaca they threw tho water !" to 2J feet into tho air from their blow hales. Wheu they came together tLe blows sounded like the fall of a pilo driver, only not so clear, and the thrashing of their tails threw the water half masthead high. The crew of the Ely watched the combat for nearly half an hour, during which the larger whale was driven toward the shore. Fhilaileliliit Hi me.
