"A clever beggar I once knew," he explained one night to his old intimate. Paddon, "in fa-.-t about the cleverest beggar I ever aid know,'once said to me, If you know ondHhing thorough ly, you hold the key to everything.' It didn't strike me particularly at ther time. I had no reason for testing iU but it's awfully true, Jim, I can see it now."' It was in Jim Paddon's rooms in Gray's Inn that this sententious remark was uttered. Jim Paddon was at the moment keenly interested in wondering whether the cork of a 6oda-water bottle would come out easily, like a tooth with gas, or would require extracting with a wrench. The gas gained the day. "Well," he said, content now to dally with trivialities, "and what if it to?" "Well, I'll tell you. Sometimes this knowledge is very useful' to you, and sometimes well, it's' just amusing. I don't think I'm particularly concerned, but I flatter myself that I have always had a knack of understanding girls. It isn't a thing a man cares to talk about much. In the first placcninety nine people out of a hundred would put any one down as a fool who said this possibly I am rather femininely minded. In any case. I often used to think I conld see things from their point of view better than most fellows and argue their cases in their own way. Now, since I have thoroughly understood one girl, I know I can do this. And what is the consequence? Why, they never astonish me now!" Paddon took his pipe from his mouth, and attempted to realize an old ambition and blow a second smoke ring through a first. TUE GIRL HEARD HIM ALL TUROUGIL "My experience," he " said, when failure tripped him up remorseless, "is that they vary too much. No two are alike, and they always get mixed up, and to try to' put them right is the worst of all." Whether he was alluding to smoke rings or girls was not very clear. Ilalkett looked at him pityingly. He might have had doubts about women, but he knew that he under stood men. "Look here, old fellow,' he said, "you've either had one whiski' too many or too few." Paddon adopted the orfly course open to him. "Who's the poor girl you've experi mented on?- Do I know her?" "That's rather a brutal way of put ting it, but I suppose it's Kate." "Then," said Paddon. "i,n't it al most a pity that 3rou are not going to marry her instead of me?" Ilalkett smiled. He was not a mar rying man. When next the two friends met it was at the home of Kate Temple, the maiden who after being analyzed by one man had perversely fallen in love with another. Ilalkett, too philosophic to be jealous, had only found in the circumstance of her preference for his friend a further proof of the well known law that ideals must be low ered half-mast high when science passes by. In short, he liked her still, but h s attitude now might best be described as one of slightly con temptuous S3'mpathy. The circumstances under which they all met now were rather depress ing. James Paddon h id many weak nesses, and one of them had just attained an alarming prominence. Sir McDermott Hallarat, who doubled the parts of eminent specialist and family friend to the Temples (for Kate had one incumbrance she was garrisoned round about by a maiden aunt with fads), had just discovered that his dear young friend Paddon possessed only one lung instead of the normal number, and that that interesting relic must on no account be allowed to winter in England. It was noiv Sep tember. The young man might take his lung to Davos Platz or to Colorado but he must be off without delay. Halkett, like most people, was at his best in emergencies. The one cheer ing fact to the Te.nples on this last de pressing evening was his quiet an nouncement to Kate that if Jim liked he would go with him and look after him. He had previously arranged it all with Paddon, who was pleased. This almost reconciled Kate to her lover's going to the further country. Jim Pad J on did "not feel ill, he said, whereas, if he went to a place haunted by invalids he would grow worse out of sympathy. The good-bys that night were said in chapter.. Geoffrey Halkett left first, and Kate's eyes were eloquent when she thanked him She did not say much but he aas satisfied. It was at that moment that te eminently feminine thou-r'it o :onrre I to her: "What a pity that Ge lUvey should not marry some ni v gtr':" Then old Miss Tetnole said good-by to a'l and dis creetly left the lovers to sett e the rest- This took two hours and three quarters, durin which time Gcoftrey leaned against a lamp-post smoking and thinking it rather a nit. that Kate's eyes 5ho tld b.j wasted ou Jim. He was aroused hr J -in ;-ash:n . down the steps, almost knocking httu down and swear n at hi-n. They walked London that night, fiy way of getting no strength for th; journey. The next day they started. Rusk in, who advocited once a period of lengthened probationary absence for the young man in love, probably foresaw the advantage of taking steps which would cancel fifty per cent of first engage men ts. Pad don was not to be relied upon with impunity. His lung grew lusty and strong in the bracing air of the rocky mountains, but he fell in love with a settlers daughter just before the time when he should have returned to Kate. Halkett had noticed this emo i ; tion in its incipient stuees. but Paddon had not, nor had it even tinged his letters to Kate, when he contracted a prevalent form of fevi'r and the-set-tler's daughter nursed him through it. As soon as he became convalescent he bestowed on her a new Colorado edi tion of his old love for Kate. Now, Paddon s illness had been Halkett's osportanity. Whatever swerved in him it ws ever his loyai tjtito his friends He wtotc to Kale regularly, reporting the invalid's health. When Jim regained convales WmhPt1Iji. 1 1 a cence it was.proaiBtly brought to him chaMfo shotaldresume maBage meBtpfusr own 'affairs, but his sew jsp-sffment barred the way to this, At "this crisis it seemed good to Jim Pad don, whose simple brain was not capa ble of dealing with two sets of emo tions, to unceremoniously depart with the settler's daughter and marry her. He considerately left a note request ing Halkett to deal with his honor as he saw fit t 'Geffrey Halkett was a gentleman" by instinct, and at best but an amateur liar. He had the British aversion to taking away a man's character to a girL After much delib.-ration.he said to himself: "If Lknow Kate and I flatter myself thai I do know her she would rather retain her faith in a dead Jim than lose her faith in a liv ing Jim." So he wrote that Jim had got worse and died. He did not consider himself in ' this, which was to his credit Then, being no longer required in Colorado, he followed his letter home. -.On the way home common sense ar- Hgued with him and brought home to him very forcibly tnat tie naa maae a mistake. Sooner or later .Kate must learn the truth. It would be better for her to hear it from him now than to have it brutally broken to her later when it might injure her more. It was not a pleasant mission, this mis sion of confession on which he went a short time after his return, but he comforted himself with the thought that she would at least nckuowlege that all he had done was out of con sideration for her. Geoffrey Halkett never told any one what happened at that interview. As a matter of fact, the girl heard him all through, and then, white and trembling' with indignation, infinitely scornful with herself for having al lowed anyone to defame her lover while she listened, she turned and left him not, though, before she bad pointedly suggested that he should never enter the house again. "She had never trusted him from the very beginning," so she said, "and now " Halkett took up his hat and went This man, who had thought himself never to be astonished again, was an obstinate man, but not too obstinate to acknowledge himself astonished. He wasted no time over useless argu ments or letters, but he went abroad, and some time subsequently he met Jim Paddon. Theint-rview was short, but satisfactory. All. it appeared, that Halkett required of his former friend was a letter written to Kate, telling her how matters stood. Pad don demurred ani Mrs. Paddon thought Halkett a nuisance. "I may be a sneak," said Jim, "hut I'll be if I'll write myself down one.' Ilalkett declined to enter into the d'slinction. "You can put it in a gentlemanly way, if you can," he said. A man with only one lung and a bad case is no match for a man with two lungs and a good case and a rap idly developing passion for a woman. In less than a month Halkett was home with the letter. "Kate is devilish obstinate when she is in a bad temper," he said to himself. "I know what she'll do now; she'll refuse to see me, and I'm not going to trust the letter to the post" Still, he wrote and asked her to make an appointment She replied by re turn, naming a day and hour. Halkett gasped a little at this, but went for a walk to think how he would meet her- lie need not have troubled about arranging speeches or lines of conduct Kate took the initiative at the inter view, as he might have known she must She was very civil, only rather distant, and asked him why he wautcd to see her. "I have brought you a letter," he said. She held out her hand. He gave it to her. She looked at the writing, and murmured an excuse and left him. When she came back there was little changed about her, except a hesitancy in her speech. "Don't make me apologize," she said, "but, of course, I knew you were right when yon told me. only I wasn't going to allow anyone but Jim to sa siu-h things about himself, was I?" "Certainly not." said Halkett, too blinded by the sentiment of the sen ten e to consider its grammar. "It is I who have to apologize " So they parted good friends, and the student of women went home satisfied, and on the whole rather pleased than not with the sensation of astonish ment to which he was now becoming quite accustomed. After a decent interval of these friendly relations he asked her to marry hi.n. Then the friendly intercourse snapped like a pipestein and she told him he had insulted her. "You ought by this time," she sai I, "to know me too well to imagine that I could ever love again.'" This finished off Geoffrey Halkett He spent a miserable month making up his mind whether to go abroad or to the devil, and had finally decided on a combination, whan this letter came: "Dear Mr. Halkett Have wo an- i noyed you in any way? If not why do you never come to see us now? We shall both be in and very pleased to see you any af ternoou this week, if 3ou care to look us up again. Very sincere yours, Kate Temple. "P. S. Aunt says she may have to go ont Wednesday, but every other afternoon she will be at homel" Geoffrey Halkett read this letter, but not all his experience could make him look as though he had expected it After a little while he smiled and lit his pipe and was happ3. He might not understand women, but he under stood that letter. On Wednesday morning he spent twenty guineas on a ring, on Wednesday afternoon he called on the Temples and saw Kate. After all, now that he was cured of his chief weakness, he was a very good fellow, and there is never a bet ter wife than .the girl who is capable of astonishing you on occasion.

My boarding house has of late bad much trouble in securing the services of a dining room girl. -The land lady no sooner hires one than she grows "sassy" and has to be dis charged. Last week I found a new girl named Manda to give me my break fast, which I always take alone. She was a short, squatty" girl, with tho map of Africa printed plainly on her face. She eyed me curiously as I seated myself. Whenever I asked for anything she handed it to me readily enough, but she seemed nervous and unduly excited. Finally, as I pushed back my chair, sho drewnear me and said: "Is you do boarder what shot do cat de ruther night?" I was, and said so. "Well. Gawd pity you?" she said, with a sigh, "causo de winches shoro gwint'er rido ycr; datV right- Er pusson dat kills cr cat hit doan" 'pear lak hit's 'er sin, 'but de witches de- fin's hit out, 'n'dey des rides 'n rides you, ,"1", every mawnin" you wakes up wld 'er tired feolin' 'n 'er powocful misery in you' head, you does, jis lak's if you'd 'er wucked in de cotton patch all night" I told her I would take care of all the witches, and make noiseless the cats that played around my bedroom. Then Manda was silent for a mo ment Her eyes had a far-away look, as though sho were dreaming. Fi nally she turned toward me with a start, and said: "Did you ebor kill or pusson?" "Kill a person?" said L "Bless you, no. No such crime as that is against ma Why do you ask?"

The parts in speech of a common conversation may be distinguished at a distance of 460 feet, even when the air is perfectly calm. A power ful human voice, speaking in an ob servable breeze, is audible, but not distinguishable as to parts, at a dis tance of 15,840 feet, with the wind. The sound of a strong brass band cannot be heard at a greater dis tance, and the report of a musket is scarcely perceivable at a distance of over 2J.O00 feet In the Arctic re gions, when the spirit thermometer marks forty or more degrees below zero, Fahrenheit, a common con versation may be carried on by per sons separated from each other by upwards of 7,000 feet. Heavy can nonading in this latitude may be heard ninety miles. G!as4 Curtain. Glass curtains are a novelty in art industry for house furnishing.

A great deal of dispute has arisen at different times concerning the first dialog cars and when they were first used and on what roads. The Pitts berg Post gives the following as hav ing been derived from a man who is represented as a well-known elec trician and chemist but whoso name, unfortunately, ' is not givan. The first dining cars run in tbis country, or any. other for that mat ter, were run between New York and Chicago via the Northern Central, Grand Trunk aud Michigan Central in the year 1853. The officers of these different companies met in New York in the spring of that year, and among other things discussed was the 'feasibility of running a dining car over the connecting lines, especially on one tram known as the lightning exyress, which ran between New York and Chicago. Trains as fast as this one wero compelled to make two stops for meals while mak ing tho run one at Marshall's, tho other at Jackson, twenty minutes for ouch meal, making forty minutes of valuable time lost After discussing the question for some time it wus finally decided to try it Tho seats were taken out of the ordinar3r coach and tables put along either side, with stools tened to the floor, giving it appearance of a restaurant, rear half of the baggago car fas tho The was fitted up to answer the purpose of a kitchen, and there the cooking was done. Some trouble was experienced in bringing the food from one car to the other, and whon crossing tho platform the cinders would rain down on tho head of the waiter and tho dishes he was carrying. Sometimes the waiter in trying to hurry across the platform would strike the side of tho door with hi 3 tray, spill the dishes, and narrowly avert falling from tho train himself. The first advancement was made in tho wait ers, the company after awhile being very particular to get those of a cer tain color, all of about one size, .and goodlooking. The car was a success from the start, meals being fifty cents each. The party who recalled the foregoing was at that time dining car conductor on one of these cars.

Quinine is commonly sold in two grain pills, as prescribed for malarial diseases, and these pills cost per dozen all the way from six to twenty cents, and perhaps higher. As the dozen pills, if honestly made, contain exactly one pennyworth of the drug the price varies from SI 20 to S4 rer ounce. It is a long while since quinine was worth the latter price.
