to have said, nor indeed what was her first
impulse /; but CHANGING TO catch sight of his
face, she perceived that he was, in spite OF
his abruptuess, quite as much in what is
called ''state" as the most exacting young
lady could desire. So she said, as steadily
as she could:

She put her hand within his arm and
they walked on, and If does not very much
matter about the rest of the conversation.
But when the Baronet tapped at the window
to announce that he wanted his breakfast,
and they went up to him, he looked al
them and began to grumble little.

The Ouays of Paris.

There is no Odder, there is no more at
tractive part Of Paris than the quays which
ie from POnt Royal TO POnt Neuf on the
south bank Of the river. Here, on the para
pet of the wall which separates street from
the wharf (the later is fifteen or twenty
feet below the street, are boxes filed with
second hand books. Unless you are a
known customer, You cannot enter the reg
ula- book shops of Paris and take down the
volumes which you desire to examine.
Som, of the most interesting of these shops
are on a second floor, and woman is gen.
orally the keeper. A spring bell announces
your entrance, and she comes forward and
in surly tone challenges you with What
do you want - If YOU cannot tell the book
you wish and the price you are willing to
pay, she will let You know bluntly enough
that YOU are not wanted. There are some
shops on the ground floor which bear on
the door "'Free Admittance. Do not trust
it any more than you would trust the ''Walk
in, Mr. Flyl" seen on the door of a musical
cafe, where, as you know, the instant you
appear a waiter pounces on you with Nv ha;
shall serve.'' On the quays it is differ
ent. If YOU turn over the volumes from
morning till night, nobody will say any
thing to you. Do not judge the quay's
wealth, however, by the afternoons store.
They are richest in the morning. Book
auctions commonly take place at night,
and purchases are put into boxes before
noon: so that 1t is in the early hours Of the
day that book hunters give chase. In the
afternoon you see only their leavings, save
the casual purchases made from students
or literary men, whose divorce from their
books has been decreed by hunger.

Backett's sMarksnnanship.

At the Mission Dolores, close to San
Francisco, Western lad of twenty years
Of age, had often supported apples and held
coins for Mr.. Hackett to practice upon in
peri!Ous fashion, and one day on the occas-
ION of dinner party, special exhibition
was to be had. The marksman was to
cleave an apple on the youths head at ten
PAGES. Before the time came, however, an
ingenious gentleman, celebrated in the East
rs well as the West for his practical jokes,
brihed the lad TO 90 through carefully re-
hearSed scene. He was provided with "a
ciot OF blood colored paint. and instructed

the ground. All this was actually and
carefully zone in the presence of five or six
persons who had dined together. The eX-
pectation. of course. was that Mr.. Hackett
would be stricken with remorse and hor-
ror. and rush forward instantly to his wei

and separating the filings from the wrap
peIs, and very few of them are allowed to
fold cigars. The cigar-makers, at least the
white ones, are thriftless, lazy Set. A
folder will work until he has enough money
for his immediate wants, and then he will
at once leave his work until he is driven
back penniless. One young, good-lOokiDg
folder. engaged in making the best kinds of
cigars, was PORTED out by the proprietor
rs u curious example of this want of appli-
cation. He works hard during five days of
the week, making tidy sum of money.
Every Saturday night he visits Il ready
made clothes shop, buys new suit, and
early on Sunday goes either TO the seashore
or to the river, strips, bathes, and, on COM
ing out, puts on his new suit. Leaving the
old one, bought the previous week. on the
bank, he goes on spree which lasts until
his money is all spent, when he returns to
work. Women are also employed in sort
ing tobacco, but they are in a separate
building, as it was found that the cO-educa-
tion of the sexes does not work as well in
Cuban cigar factory as in the ethetic atmOs
phere of New England college. They
are of ali colors, ranging from pure white
through every variety Of cream and choco-
late up to a shining black. They
all smoke, generally the very strongest
cigars. Unlike the clerk in the candy store,
who is allowed to gorge himself at first, and
who never cares for the sweet treasures
again, men and women in tobacco factories
do not lose their taste for smoking. 1he
manufacturers forbid smoking during work
hours, for it distracts the attention, and the
cigars are less carefully made. But the
supply of cigars is almost unlimited, and
every workman is allowed to carry away
two or three. These cigars are made by
boys who are only beginning, and whose
productions are not good enough for market
When the cigars are counted and the max
ers paid, the former are sent up stairs and
carefully sorted, first to remove the badly
made ones and those with rough wrappers,
and then to divide them. according to the
color of the leaf, into colorados and ma
duros. When this is done they are ready
to be placed in the boxes, which are
made in separate part of the factory. The
boxes when filled, are placed under press,
and the cigar is then ready for sale.

a New Delicacy.

\ new Australian delicacy is finding its
way into the London markets in the shape
of dried kangaroo tongues. The tails and
skins Of these animals have long been
utilizCd-the former tor making soup, the
latter for leather; and the recent destruc-
ton of kangaroos has given considerable
impetus TO these two trades Struck by
the waste OF food occasioned by the slaugh-
ter of 50 many thousand; of these marsup-
ials, whose bodies are frequently left to rot
where they have fallen, WarrOO settler
made an experiment in curing the tongues
Of some OF the slain, and so highly were
they approved that considerable trade has
sprung up in this commodity. The tongues
are usually cured by drying in smoke, like
the Russian reindeer tongues; but a much
better plan is to preserve them in tins like
the sheep and OK tongues prepared in
America Tongues lend themselves to this
treatment better than almost any other pOr-
ton of an animal, as they stand the exces-
sivc boiling better than beef OF mutton.

The Dollar Mark.

Regarding the ) mark on our money,
some think that the sign is sort of
monogram of the United States, from L.
s. The American dollar, say others, is
taken from the Spanish dollar, and the
sign is 10 found, Of course, in the associa-
tiOns of the Spanish dollar. On the reverse
Of the Spanish dollar is a representation of
the Pillars of Hercules, and around each
pillar is a scroll with the inscription '.I'iILs
ultra" This device in the course of time
has degenerated into the sign which stands
at present for American as well as Spanish
dollars. :. The scroll around the pillars
represents the two serpents sent by Juno
to destroy Hercules in his cradle Still
others say: The sign is derived from the
Spanish fUertes, or hard, and was adopted
to distinguish hard dollars from paper ones.
The letters is were used at first, but as
they also stood for francs and fiOrins, the s
was curved around the I, and forms the
present dollar marx.

a Mountain Ride.

He threw the driver signal, the horses
sprang away. and the work was begun Of
filing the contract to get TO Delhi in two
hours, eighteen miles over mountain
road, only just a suspicion OF moonlight be-
hind the threatening clouds. and no end of big
mud. -Four miles up the mountain for a
start, and the road went creeping about
here and there, sometimes clinging to the
hillside like shelf, running away to hide
in long stretches Of forest, dodging suddenly
out of sight around projecting hill,
doubling back upon itself in the most ac-
curate angles, as though it was trying to
get away and leave us utterly lost on the
mountain side, running along smoothly and
evenly on one track for quarter of II mile
and then suddenly swinging around and
hurrying back nearly the whole distance; a
changing, restless, mischievous road that
seemed to have forgotten that ii started out
from Oneonta to reach the mountain top,
and was going to play hide-and-seek with
itself there ON the mountain side forever,
and never 90 anywhere. But the horses
knew its ways, and all Its tricks of turning
and driving and climbing, and clatter, clat-
ter. clatter over the rocky places, and
tramp, tramp, tramp, where the clay was
heavy, and splash, splash, splash, where the
little pools covered the road keeping the
wandering road always in sight and never
losing it, while the rocky glens and stately
hillsides, and even the frowning forests
laughed back in the echoes of the cIatter-
ing hoofs as the chase went on. And One
onta. \ dimple Of light in the darkened
valley, cluster of brilliants in a set of
Jet. what dream of beauty has the village
as il too laughs at our hurry up the noun
tain side, chasing the veyward road,
laughed until its dimples of light made the
night sparkle with merriment. l hope |
wi'loften see Oneonta again, but Twill never
see il looking prettier than it locked that
night. And now at last we climb the
mountain top, and the road, sobered down
by its long climb settles to its task and
stretches away to Delhi. No stop for any
thing. the mettlesome horses do not need
the whip, and scarcely need the word.
Nine miles out; as we drive up to great
roomy barn. lantern flashes out and light
buggy and two great horses drive out be-
side u.s. l; is only the work of a second
to transfer me and my baggage, the impa-
tient horses spring away, and the land
scape began to fade away behind US agair.
Down the long hills and up the grades we
spin, the big-shouldered horses laughing
at the hills with their feet; over the rum
bling bridges, past twinkling lights in the
farm houses, until at last the hills rise
above us loftier, grander, more beautiful
and graceful in outline, and we swept into
Delhi, covered with the mud and eXhilar-
ating excitement OF the drive, just two
hours from the time we left Oneonta; it is
lively going.

SIX Ahead.

Some time ago, in the southern part Of
Arkansas. an incident occurred which will
be spoken of upon the occasion of every
election in that part OF the country. Upon
the day of the noted event people in all the
townships exhibited their interest by going
early TO the polls. Two very prominent
men in a certain county were candidates
for sheriff. and their supporters were so
equally divided that a great concern was
felt. Bets were made; fist fights were in
augurated, in fact, everything was engaged
IN to make the election interesting
About 10 O'Clock the excitement became SO
great in one township that Il man was Sc
lected to ride over to the next township to
see who was ahead. The swiftest horse
was selected. The man sprang into the
saddle and dashed away. The rider was
iniently watched until out of sight. Then
more bets were made as to which of the
candidates was ahead. More fist engage
ments were inaugurated. Finally the man
was seen coming back He had lost his
hat and his long hair streamed out horizon
tally.
.'Six ahead. Six ahead" he shouted,
when within hearing of the crowd.
who's six ahead!n demanded several
voices.
''Ill be diuged if know, said the man,
checking his horse, ''but you may bet your
life that one of them is six ahead.

To close the eye. and close the ear,
Wrapped in trance Of bliss,
And gently dream in loving arms,

Scarce asking where We are,
To feel all evil sink away,

HORRIBLE TRAGEDY.
Bloody Deed OF q Man Crazed
by Whisky.

Sr. LOUIS, March lS.-A most horri-
BILE tragedy occurred early this morning
in the northern suburb OF the city.
Conrad Hieman, who lives at the corner
OF Broadway and Wright streets with his
wife aud six children, has been drink
ing heavily for some time past and last
evening had an attack OF dclierium
tremens. This morning while his wife
was preparing breakfast, llieman called
for her from an adjoining room, and as she
entered il in response TO his call he as
saulled her with large knife, driving
the blade through the lungs OF the in
iant in Mrs Hieman's arms. He then
struck another blow, burying the knife
in the heart Of his wife, killing her in
stantly. A brother OF Hieman at
tempted 10 seize the murderer and re-
ceiyed a severe stab in the back, dis
abhng him. Hieman then broke away
and ran toward the river, since when
he has not been seen.
Hieman was arrested this afternoon
in Carondalet, the extreme southern
part of the city. fully eight miles from
the scene OF the murder, and when
taken 10 the police station he was raving
in an incoherent way, and asked the
officers to shield him from the demons
who he said were pursuing him. His
infant child is not yet dead, but viii
die. Hieman Also attempted tn kill a
young son OF his brother, whom he
stabbed, but the boy escaped by out
running the maniac
