reached my poor Con in his cell in
Wicklow Jail, and even now the consta-
bles may be on their way to secure you. -
The guilty man started co his feet.
The thought of being taken to Jail and
imprisoned made him frantic. He began
to pace the room like Gagged tiger.
"The game is up" he muttered. 81
must escape"
Farmer Desmond stood with his hand
upon the door-knob.
"Then make good use of your time"
he said, "and heed my warming. The
story of your villainy will soon spread
for miles around, and for miles around
my son is favorite among men, women
and children. You will be in the midst
of lively enemies, and if you escape the
constables, look out for the rabble. You
see how forgiving 1 am, my fine gentle
man. The father of the man you sought
to ruin gives you good advice. hope
you'll profit by it."
And with grim smile on his withered
face the old man left the apartment.
Half an hour later and Felix DAILY had
departed from the Shamrock inn. He
thought only of escaping and Nelly Cary
for the time was forgotten.
He found shelter in a deserted howell
about two miles distant.
There he remained until late in the af-
ternoon when he ventured forth.
Ventured forth to be instantly recog-
nized by swarm of hard-fa Hibern-
ian ladies', who were washing clothes at
brook behind the hovel-ventured
forth to receive a never-to-be-forgotten
chastisement at their bands.
The washerladies Immediately uttered
piercing YELL and dropped their
clothes and pieces of soap.
cried. Down wild Con Desmond's foe!
Duck him in the brook, an make him
ate mud. Down wild him."
Felix Daily took to his heels and fled
across the field, with the ladies in hot
pursuit.
Stones struck him, and Jumps of mud
were hurled at him, and he presented a
grotesque appearance as he ran for dear
life before this storm of Irish indigna-
ton.
At last he stumbled and fell forward on
his face.
A cry of exultation issued from the
enemy.
Felix DAILY was hemmed In and sur
rounded by the angry washerladies-he
was at their mercy, and there We leave
him.
He had escaped arrest, but not the ven
geance of Con Desmond s female friends,
and you may rely upon it when l say
that Felix Daily never visited Wicklow
county again.
One May Day Con Desmond and Nelly
Cary were made man and wife, and they
issued forth from the little country
church proud and happy pair, with a
bright and prosperous life before them.

The End OF the World.

The age of the earth is placed by some
at SOC, 900 900 ears, and still others, of
later time, among them the Duke of
Argyll places it at 100, 900 900 years,
knowing what process it has gone
through. Other planets go through the
same process. The reason. that other
planets differ so much from the earth is
that they are in q much earlier or later
stage of existence.
The earth must become old. Newton
surmised, although he could give no
reason for it, that the earth would at
one time lose all its water and become
dry. Since then it has been found that
Newton was correct. As the earth keeps
cooling it will become porous and cavi-
ties will be formed in the interior, which
will take in water. Il is estimated that
this process il row in progress, so far
that the water diminishes at the rate of
about the thickness of sheet of writing
paper each year.
At this rate, in 6,OO0, 600 years, the
water will have sunk q mile, and in TO-
600 900 years the water will have disap-
peared from the face of the globe. The
nitrogen and oxygen in the atmosphere
are also diminishing all the time. It is
an inappreciable degree, but the time
will come when the air will be SO thin
that no creatures we know can breathe it
and live; the time will come when the
world cannot support life. That will be
the period Of old age, and then will come
death. -IR. A. Proctor.

A Kings Outfit.

The orders from the King of Siam for
the furnishing of the new royal palace at
Bangkok have created pleasant sensa-
ton in Spitalfields, where silk has been
specially manufactured to supply tie
largest demand for any one order since
the furnishing of the palace of the late
viceroy of Egypt. The furniture for
which this London silk has been required
makes pretty show at present in the
establishment of Messrs. Jackson Ora
ham, of Oxford street, who have been In
trusted with the execution of the order,
and who show also the plan of the new
palace for which the furniture has been
designed. Popular interest seems to
center in the wonderful royal bedstead,
quite an edifice in itself. 1t is fourteen
feet wide and twenty feet high, and has
dome like canopy lined with rosecol-
colored silk. 1t has the appearance of
three European beds joined in one, the
center part of the bed being about a
foot higher than the sides. The mate
rial is walnut deliberately carved
and gilt. The chief decoration Of
the carver represents the triple-headed
elephant, the imperial crown, and the
state umbrella, which compose the
royal arms. These arms are woven in,
imprinted and carved on the furniture
and upholstery of all the different de-
partments. For the Queens drawing
room all the furniture is gilt, even to the
Erard piano, and chairs and couches are
covered with rich fancy silk. For the
dining room the side board is of royal
dimensions, eighteen feet wide and as
many feet high. 1t is of solid mahogany
and is adorned with fine carvings. There
are furnishings also for the Kings study
and news room. including writing desk
which is the envy OF those who see 1t Tor
the council chamb Der. the audience cham
Der, the aquarium, the smoking room,
and the various departments. To exc
cute this large order the warerooms Of
Messrs. jackson l. Graham have been
turned into work shops for some months:
The important business ofspacking will
take some time. and the shipment takes
place during the present MONTH Lon

FREQUENT complaints are, made OF the
completely of education. Nowadays people
make themselves victims of a persistent cram
ming process, a reading ola small library
every year to obtain smatterlng knowledge
of the various subjects that invite an intelligent
mans interest But the fault lies principally
not with the systems of education in vogue but
with the people who forsake opportunities to
advance their understanding of one or two OF
the branches for more preten,ious, entirely
superficial culture 1t is only the slow, earn
est thoughtful study Of one subject at time
that paws.

are rowing up beyond the scholastic age and a
five months plan is a criminal injustice to the

The Misfortune of Finding Gold.

From the London TELEGRAPH.
A man who finds IL 900 pounds worth Of
gold hidden away in an old wall is generally
regarded as lucky individual; but the civil
tribunal of jon has Just proved that even a
find of this magnitude may be anything but
fortunate occurrence to the discoverer In
the month of April last joiner named John,
taking down the paneling of an old house
about to be demolished, belonging to DR..
Chanul, at Dion, found a sum Of 3oo, oco
francs in gold, Of various dates Just previous to
the great revolution.
The coin was packed in rouleaux and
wrapped in pieces of the Moniteur, published
during the reign of terror. With the money
were certain scraps Of manuscript, showing il
to belong to one who was mayor of Dion a,
that period. His descendants. on hearing Of
the discovery, brought an action against DR.
Ghanut and NJ. John to recover the treasure
and the court, after duly investigating the
claim, gave judgment in favor of the plaintiffs
What is even more calling to the finder of the
treasure and to the proprietor of the house
where it had remained concealed for nearly
century, is that they were mulcted in the cost
OF the trial.

Undyinr Love for the Sea.

Cnrrespondcncc of the Missouri Republican.
Upon Clinton avenue, in Brooklyn, there is
fine residence, the basement OF which is hit
ed up like ships cabin. 1t was formerly the
residence of Capt. Albert, an old steamship
CAPTAIN who was one of the many old people
who have been gathered into Plymouth church
under Henry Ward Beecher's pastorate. This
old captain retired with fortune, and he was as
restless thenceforth as fish out of water, and
to appease his appetite for his old scenes he
had the basement of his house built in the
shape of ships cabin, and when he was
obliged to stay at home he used to sit here
smoking an old pipe that Of all the perfumes
or Araby could not sweeten, and drinking
whisky that had an edge on it like razor.
The floor was laid with hard oak and cedar,
and kept old, and its ceiling was arched with
hard wood and ships brass lamp hung from
the centre. Much of his old furniture from
the ship was placed in the room. The very
doors came from the old ship. There was
larry smell about the room, and when visitors
used to see him there, the surroundings or
perhaps that razor-edged whiskey used to so
overcome their Imagination that they used to
roll around. The old captain, when he got
up, had on mis- sea legs, and he walked as
though his ship was rolling. The old captain
never gave up his glazed cap and his thick nor
wester even in the hottest Weather and when
the hercest storms of winter blew,
drifting the snow and driving the sharp edge
OF the wind into the face of street passengers;
the old captain in his tarpaulin used to pace
up and down his yard, as though it was a
ships deck, apparently as much pleased as
though treading velvet lawn bathed by the
soft moonlight. His love for his old sea life
never ceased. He grew more eccentric as he
grew older, and had his coffin made, and on
the day he died he gave himself bath to
save his family trouble after he expired. His
old residence is now occupied by paymaster
Billings of the navy AID the old ships cabin
remains. One of Capt. Albert's daughters is
studying in Italy to be prima donna, and
expects soon to make her debut.

BUSHES.

Everywhere the blush is attributed to mod
esty and self-consciousneSs, and correctly but
it does not follow that all modest and self
conscious persons are noted for their bushes.
TIE truth is that the blush is due as much to
the thiness of the outer skin as to the change
in the supply of blood to the capillaries of the
body, occasioned by mental perturbation, and
therefore dark-skined people show little of
their coursing blood. A living proof of these
assertions is Major Thomas Ochiltree, the
confidential adviser of the Grand Ourang-
Outang Of the Feji Islands.
