"Is this my station?" nervously ques tioned the pretty young girl with cheeks like damask roses, as the con ductor came through the car, as the train was slowing up. "Yes, the next is yours," replied the official politely, and then Nora Sterne sank back in her place and drew from hor hand-bag the letter which she had read so many tinie3 during her half day's journey. It was from her cousin Tom, and she thought it the most interesting missive she had ever received. It was not a love-letter either. Its contents ran as follows: "Nora, Dear Coz.: You nro wantM at once. It is decided at last that the Sham rock Club will cive for tho benellt of the poor of our city a series of entertainments, ending with impressive religious cere monies at tho Cathedral on tho evening of SL Patrick's day. "A feature of these entertainments will bo historical tableaux. I have reserved the part ot Emmet's daughter for you. Nora. Then there will bo a religious drama. Wo have seourcd a first-class actress from New York for leading lady, from whom we are expecting great things. Tho city is going wild over hor. the first really great artist that ever visited us, Xou had better start next Monday. You will be obliged to remain one night at tho Buxton Hotel and finish your journey Tues day morning, but you will not care for this, as I havo a room ongaged for you. I would come to escort you. but I am a member of the Shamrocks and am kept busy every moment of every day. Kate and Maggie, too, arc flying around like bees in a bonnet. "I forgot to tell you that we are learning the minuet tho "old-fashioned dance that is coming in again, you know. It will be danoed, at one oftho entertainments, and I want you to be my partner. Nora. Tho dapcing master. Katie, and myself will give you all the instruction necessary. "We will all be at the station Tuesday, for I know you will not have tho heart to dis appoint us. "Ever ycur affectionate cousin. "Tom Stekne." Nora was utterly untraveled, bnt everything went off very pleasantly, not many minutes elavsing after she had left the train before she found her self resting in the best room at the Bur ton Hotel, which Cousin -Tom had kindly taken for her. But she had no idea of the furore which her arrival had occasioned among the stylish lady boarders who were seated at dinner and had caught sight of her as she passed the dining room door. ""She has come, "announced Mrs. Jay, who had been favored with a back view of Nora's flannel traveling suit. "The actress," cried Mrs. Taylor, an other stage struck madam, dropping her fork. " What business has an actress here ?" growled a surly business man half way down the table. "She is on her way to take part in the theatricals of the Shamrock Club next week," replied Mrs. Taylor. "Tom Sterne engaged a room for her yester day." "She is perfectly lovely," cried Miss SmLOf, a rosebud of twenty-eight who .affected schoolgirlish airs, '"and her form is elegant" "I wish I dare call on her in her room," said Mrs. Jay musingly. "Maybe she'll come to dinner." "She will not, there go the waiters now. They are taking her dinner up to her," cried Mrs. Taylor. "What a shamo!" exclaimed Mrs. Jay, "She does not intend that we shall get a sight of her face, that is evi dent" "If we could only have some souvenir," murmured Miss Smiff, whose room was filled with "trophies" of dis tinguished people. "I have it. I'll watch for the waiter and get the napkin she used for dinner." "You might find a stray hair in the hairbrush after she leaves," suggested the surlv business man. The ladies treated their unsentimen tal friend with the contempt he de served, and yet that speech developed an idea that they made use of long after they should have been at rest. Meanwhile, obsequious waiters were making it very pleasant for pretty Nora, who, not caring to meet so many strangers, did not go down stairs at all, but retired early to dream that she was posing with cousin Tom in the stately minuet until suddenly she was awak ened by a suppressed titter in her room. "Haunted, surely," thought poor Nora, too dazed to stir, for a half dozen ghostly figures were peering about the dim corners of the room and hovering over the dressing table. "She hasn't even a powder-ball," whispered one disappointed investiga tor. "rve got a button off her jacket," said another. "Give me one, too," murmured a third. "They're robbing me," thought Nora, rising upon one elbow and screaming faintly. The room was deserted very quickly then, with a great hustling and some stifled laughter. There was no more sleep for Nora that night, and as soon as taw morning came she arose and attemMpil to dress herself. Yhatwas her that" her hairpin ion to nod 1 missing. several of the e from her jacket and worsej anau her ooots with her stoc in them were no and yet her watch, er purse were left where to be foun diamond ring an untouched. 4 "Wait shall f do?; criesV Nora, her roses deefjoning ahd her blue eyes flashing; "T shall have) to make my loss kwn at once or Install lose my trmiaMercy knows I cannot travel SarWooted." She looked around for the bell-rope, but her visitors of the night before had attended to that on their first entrance to the room. It was not to be, found. Nora's vexation deepened, and regard less of the comments of those she might meet she ran barefooted, and with her long hair falling about her shoulders, along the hall until she found herself in the presence of the proprietor of the house, who was conversing with several gentlemen. "I have been robbed"5 she aid flushing deeply. "Some one has fsrtaftg-ty room and taken myjyfe consteafaS wweraay pms, my hose and my shoes. Some thing must be done at once. I wish to take the morning train.'' "It's the actress Tom Sterne was tell ing ns about," said one of the gentle men in an audible aside. "I am not an actress," replied Nora attempting to hide one of the little bare feet which had peeped from beneath her long skirt. "I am Tom Sterne's cousin. I only wish he was here now. YThatshallIdo?" "I am Tom Sterne's friend, Harry Sennott," said one of thegronp. "If you will allow me I will call my sister, she will know what to do." And the young man started away without waiting for a reply. "There must have been a mistake," said the gentlemanly proprietor. "No such thing ever haptened in my house before." Mr. Sennott now returned with a smiling young lady who explained mat ters at once. "The ladies mistook Miss Sterne for the actress the Shamrock Club are go ing crazy over, and each wishing to be able to say that she possessed an article of attire which once belonged to her, they have taken Miss Sterne's missing property." "1 believe that you are right," said the proprietor, in a relieved tone. "I will replace the articles at once." Nora was enabled to reach the train in season, nor was she obliged to travel alone, for Harry Sennott and his sister were going to the city to take part in the same entertainments that she ex pected to enjoy so greatly. Tom Sterne and his sisters were de lighted with the little adventure which had introduced their little cousin to such pleasant society, and as they all met frequently at dancing schools and rehearsals, it came about that Harry took Tom's partner for the minuet away from him, saying, as he apologized very humbly for the misdemeanor: "I knew Nora was a delightful dancer from the glimpse I once had of her lit tle bare feet" "And you will confess to taking her shoes now, I suppose," returned Tom with a sly glance at Kitty Sennott "He is quite equal to it," she re turned. "I don't believe the minuet will be the end of their partnership either." "They've found us out," cried Harry gaily. "Partners for the minuet and for life afterwards." And so Nora's journey was but the forerunner of her wedding, and not long afterwards when she passed through Burton as a bride and sat down to the same table with the ladies who had takeu her shoes for souvenirs, one of the ladies laughingly alluded to the occurrence and Harry inquired: "And were you successful in getting a memento of the real actress when she did arrive?" "Ah yes, we had Bo trouble about that She had not beea. in the house a half an hour beforajshe had distributed a hundred photographs of her beautiful self among usor she would have been beautiful if she had looked as Well as her photo." A Minuto or Terror. Dr. Sampsel and J. K. Snyder, both of Centreville, had an experience last week that they will never forget, says the Middleburg Post. They camped at the lower dum at Swift Run, near a ledge of rocks, on the night in ques tion, and before darkness came upon them they scraped a lot of leaves to gether for a bed and provided a pile of wood to keep np a fire during the night About ten o'clock thoy pre pared for sleep, and, drawing a blanket over them, lay down to pleasant dreams. Along towards one o'clock Mr. Sny der felt chilly, and got up to put some more wood on tho fire, and then lay down and soon fell into a deep sleep, from which he was awakened by a cold object which seemed to be resting on his leg. Without moving he lay awake waiting for developments. The next moment he felt an indescribable sen sation coming over him which seemed to paralyze every nerve in his body. Realizing that there was something ex traordinary the matter he called to t'jo doctor to hurry and get up, as some thing was crawling up the right leg of his pantaloons and he believed it was a snake. The words went through the doctor like an electric shock, and rak ing a brand out of the fire he ap proached Mr. Snyder, who was lying as if paralyzed, with the cold sweat stand ing in big beads on his forehead. Half blinded by the flickering flame of the brand he noticed what at first looked like a broad black strap hang ing out of Mr. Snyder's trouser leg, but the next moment exclaimed : "My God, Muckel, lie still; it's a rattle-snake!" Trembling like a leaf, Mr. Snyder seemed powerless to move even if he would. The condition of tilings was at once evident. The reptile had been attracted to the fire, and sought warmth on the person of Mr. Snyder. Every moment it disappeared further up the leg, and prompt action was necessary. Grasping the snake by the tail, the doctor pulled with all his might. His hold slipped, and the rattles, fourteen in number, came off and remained in his hand. " The reptile had wrapped it self around the bare skin on the man's leg and violently shook its derattled tail, indicating its anger at such harsh treatment This performance almost threw Mr. Snyder into convulsions. Recovering himself the doctor be thought himself of his knife, and, quickly opening a blade keen as a razor, he cut the pantaloons up to the body. This released the snake and it quickly unwound and threw itself into a coil, ready for effective work, but before it could strike the doctor struck it a blow with a club that cut it clean in two. Mr. Snyder was lifted by the arms and dragged away from the hide ous serpent, and the next moment was on his feet, scarcely able to stand. They drank the balance of their "nerve tonic" out of a pint bottle, which to some extent restored their eqnilib rinm, but sleep was out of the ques tion and they spent the balance of the night in stitching up Mr. Snyder's trousers to make him presentable, and at early dawn they pulled up steaks and took a solemn oath to never, no, never bunk at Swift Run again. Aquatic Cows. It is a familiar fact that cows go into the water in hot days for coolness and to escape the annoyance of flies. They will also wade into deep water to feedl upon ine grasses growing m uugs ; um it is not so common to find them in the habit of swimming as they are reported to have done at 1 ort William, on the Eaministiqnia River, north of Lake Superior. Perhaps the present genera tion of cows do not, for the book from which we quote was published forty years ago. As the pasturage on the other side of the river is much better than about the fort, the cows swim across regularly every morning and back in the evening, a distance of more than three hundred yards. I was much surprised, the morning after our arrival, when the cattle were let out of the yard, to see a cow walk down and deliberately take to the water of her own accord, the whole drove following her, swimming with only their noses, horns and tails show ing above water. The development of a habit so unu sual I could account for only by sup posing it to be an ancient custom, es tablished with difficulty at first, on the strong compulsion of necessity, and subsequently yielded to from force of example by "the cows that successively entered the herd, A Shopping lacldeat. Bhe was a busy woman, getting ready to go away for the summer, and time was precious, but she must buy before Bhe went, a pair' of new corsets, "P. D., Bize 22." She stepped into a large dry goods establishment on Washington street, and went to the corset counter. The ladies who were there to sell cor sets were all busy, but finally one con cluded to stop gossiping long enough to ask what she wanted. "A pair of corsets, please, P. D., size 22," humbly answered the little woman, glad at last that her presence had become known. The saleslady languidly turned over the stock in intervals of her continued gossip, and at last produced a P. D. pair. "Yes. but that's size 23." "Well, we haven't got any 22 down here. Here, boy, go upstairs and get some P. D. corsets, sizes 21, 22 and 23, several of each." The busy woman, after waiting for the boy until she nearly fell off the stool through weariness, went over to the bustle counter, the shirt counter and the sack counter to while the time away, and by and by returned to the corset counter. "Has the boy come back yet?" "No, he has not" "When is he likely to return?" (meekly.) "When he is ready," (toploft ically.) The afternoon wore away. The boy at last returns with four pair of corsets which he deposited on the counter, re marking that there-was not any size 22 upstairs, and the saleslady looked at the busy woman with a glance in which triumph was strangely mingled with indifference. "Oh," gasped the would-be customer, "how I wish I had known that a half an hour ago. I need not then have wasted all this time." Slowly, oh, so slowly, the dignified saleslady turned to the counter, opened a box and disclosed a "P. D., size 22." "Whv, did the boy bring that?" "No." "Did vou have it Jiere all the time?" "Yes." " "But why did you not give it to me when you knew I was in such a hurry?" "We don't serve our customers with electricity," remarked the saleslady as, with a crushing manner and aspect and tone sheturned away. She condescended. however, after a while, to come back and deliver the package and the change, after which she resumed her sadly interrupted gossip, while the busy woman made rapid transit out of the store. Boston Herald. The Naval Fight or the Future. Each vessel, says Lieut Bradley A. Fiske, in the May Forum, will clear for action as soon as the other is dis cerned, perhaps live miles away. Each will probably slow down at first, in order to gain time for preparation, and especially for getting the steam pres sure up to the highest point. Forced draft will at once be started, and the subdued roar of the air driven through the furnaces, to accelerate combustion, and the whir of the dynamos will be added to the clang of the gunbreach blocks, as they are swung op'-n to admit the projectile to the breach, the hum of the ammunition- hoists raising powder and shell to the decks, and the quiet, firm orders of authority. On deck the gatling guns and revolv ing cannon and the rapid-fire guns in the tops are got noiselessly into readi ness; the Captain takes his place in the armored conning tower with tho chief quartermaster and his aid; the executive officer assumes charge of the battery, and remains near at hand to take the Captain's place in case of his oeath or disability; the range finders are got in position, and the officer in charge be gins to report fro.ni time to time the distance of the enemy, now drawing closer. Probably not a shot will be fired until this distance is reduced to 2,000 yards, and probably both ships will keep pointed toward each other until that time. But now what will the contest ants do? It has been held that both will advance steadily toward each other each commander hoping that some false move on the part of his adversary will enable him to rush forward, dis charge his bow torpedo at 508 yards, and perhaps follow it up with his ram and end the fight at once until they have approached so close, say 500 yards, that niether dare to swerve lest he him self be rammed; so that the ships will at length collide eud on, and may both sink! The various inventions of the past few years rapid-firing guns, high ex plosive", torpedoes, submarine boats, dynamite guns, and range finders; the increased power and perfection of steam and electric machinery ; the improve ments in powder and in steel for pro jectiles and for armor have not revo lutionized naval science so much as they have broadened it The princi ples of strategy remain the same, and so does the necessity for the seaman's skill. Engineers construct, inventors invent, experiment are tried, sham bat tles are fought, and heated discussions agitate tho naval mind; but the only thing that can determine the real con dition of modern naval warfare is a modern naval war. Onnard and Upward. One hundred years have eTafBed since the first and last census taken in the United States. It is interesting and pertinent to glance at the interim. The first census that of 1790 showed a total population in tho thirteen States and the Territories on each side of the Ohio River, of 3.921,326. In the Northwest Territory the population was so small that no return was made. The great Central States of the Union had not even been explored. The census of the present year will show a popula tion approximating 70,000,000. The commercial progress of the country has been equally rapid. It has kept step with the vast increase in pop ulation and the amazing growth of the cities. At the birth of the nation the manufacturing interests were of little importance; but since then there has been an amazing expansion in every de partment of industry. Railroad development hits kept pace with the increase of "population and ex pansiJu of commerce. The first Hue constructed in tho United States was tli Oi'.iiiRv Railroad, in lb-ti. The second was the Mauch Chunk Railroad, in Pennsylvania, in 1827. The rapid growth of the lailroad system of Hie countiv since that time presents a striking evidence of the activity and entcrpiieof the people and the civil pr gres of the nation. The number of mi es of railroad now in operation is about 125,000. The first line of telegraph was erected in 1814. between Washington and Balti more. From this small beginning a vast system of telegraphic lines has been constructed, by means of which all the great centers of trade and popu lation in the world have been brought into instantaneous communication. The entire country is in the full swing of progressive developement and it is destinedto accomplish still more wonderful remits and achieve still greater triumphs in the future. To Make Ice-Water l-ast. A useful attribute of paper not gen erally known is for preserving ice in a 1 iteiier of water. Fill the pitcher with ice a-.d water and set it on the center of a .ei-e ft paj er: then gather the . api-r up t geiher at the top and place the ends tightly together, placing a Btrong rubber band around the coil to bold it close, so as to exclude the air.

It is seldom that the New York street urchin fails to get amusement out of anything where he sees the chance. Some youngsters saw an opportunity recently in the union of the following elements : A pair of trousers, an old jacket and vest, a hat and some straw. The straw was put in the other ele ments, and the whole, when completed, made a very fair specimen of the genus "tramp." The boys carried the figure around to a neighboring church, and placed it in a position which was skill fully intended to give the impression to passers-by of a fellow-being in ngonj Then they hid to watch developments, says the New Ybrk Times. A lady and gentleman passed the church, "Oh, look at that poor fellow, John ! He seems to be ill," remarked the lady. The small boys didn't say anything, but kept their eyes on "John." "John," who was a courtly cavalier of the olden days, benevolently went up and touched the figure, saying. "What's the matter with you, my man ?" He did not wait to get an answer, but left suddenly, and his departure was punctuated by various cat calls and scoffing remarks. Many persons passed the figure, and many, overcome by emotions of pity, went up and spoke words of kind en couragement to it. patted it on the shoulder, shook it, and then went away quickly, accompanied by cries of "Git de ambulance fur de man, boss! Call der cop ! He's McGinty's brother, boss !" and various other expressions of Amer icanized Anglo-Saxon that were more or less forcibly understood by those who heard them. The urchins kept it up until one ol their number suggested carrying the figure to the park and "make a soo'cide or murder." The idea was seized, and the poor agonized figure was hurried from the church steps and borne off into the surrounding darkness with a yell that made a nervous old lady who was standing on tho street coruor shiver aud exclaim" to her aged companion, "Laudy ! look at those boys a tormentin' that poor mau. Ntit lit Itn It I own Out. The world progresses so fast that it is hard for some people to keep up with it, and even a young collegian is once in a while left behind. An intercol legiate oratorical contest had been held in Kansas City, according to the Times, aud one of the competitors remained over night at a hotel. He retired at 10 o'clock a fact which certainly speaks well for him, and oltrtuf iMiltiitrlit tlm linllmnn lintii'fil n peculiar odor, as of burning cloth. He notihed the nignt cierK ana a ponce officer, and the three men at once began an investigation. They were not very loiifr in Inrmtinor tlift Kfmt of tllt f rOllllle in the young collegian's room, and a few minutes liammennc urougni mm to the door, with a request to know what they wanted. , As soon as the night clerk entered the room he saw the cause of the alarm ing odor. The guest had wrapped a thin towel around tho incandescent electric light glabe, the glow light is a better term, and it had become scorched. "What on earth do you mean by this?" demanded the clerk. "The light hurt my eyes, and I wanted to shade it," explained the voting fellow. "Why didn't yon put it out, then?" "Wefl,"nnswered the collegian, apolo getically, "I blew and blew on the thing till I thonght I'd go to pieces, and then I gave it up." Could Well AfTtint to lay.
