Mrs. Algernon Mowry was very much

Mrs. MOwry was quite content that

Mrs. Mowry could not see why Joanna
preferred TO earn her own living when
she had a brother able to support her.
This little studio was Il very pretty

bright -colored rugs; the walls were
tinted delicate blue, bOrdered with
harmonious bands of crimson, olive,
and gold.
There was one wide window to the
front. and near it. at her easel. Joanna
sat one sweet April morning, finishing
birthday card in water-colors.
From time to time she would pause
at her work, and, leaning back in her
chair. she would watch the builders

In the spring Of 1880 fire was dis
covered en- board frigate off Cron-
stadt After the severest scrutiny no
cause for the fire could be found. The
probability is, however, strongly in fa-
vor Of spontaneous combustion; for in
the following year the frigate Maria,
which also lay Mt anchor off Cronstadt,
was found TO be on fire. The fire was,
however, early perceived and eXtin-
guished. After strict examination
nothing could be discovered rs to its
origin. A commission of inquiry was
held, which finally reported that the
fire was probably caused by parcels of
mating tied together with pack-thread,
which were in the cabin when the fire
broke out. II was found that the par
GELS of mating contained Russian lamp
black, prepared from fir-soot mostcned
with hemp-oil varnish lneonsequence
of this the Russian Admiralty gave
orders for experiments TO be made.
They shook forty pounds of iir-wood
SCOT into a tub and poured about thirty
five pounds of hemp-oil varnish upon it.
This stood for an hour, after which they
poured off the oil. The remaining
mixture they wrapped up in a mat, and
the bundle was laid close TO the cabin
in the frigate Maria where the midship-
men had their birth To avoid all sus-
picion two officers sealed both the mat
and the door with their own seals and
stationed watch of four officers to take
notice of all that passed through the
night As soon as smoke should ap-
4 pear information was to be given The
experiment was made about the Goth
! of April at about eleven Il. m. Early
in the following morning, about five 4.
m, smoke appeared issuing from the
cabin. The commander was immedi-
atcly informed by an officer who through
a small hole in the door saw the mat
smoking. Without opening the door,
j he dispatched a messenger to the mem
/ bers Of the commission, but, as the
smoke became stronger and fire be-
/ gan to appear, it became necessary TO
break the seals and open the door. No
sooner was the air admitted than the
mat began to burn with greater force,
and presently burst into a flame. Mr..
4 Georgi, Of the Imperial Academy OF
Sciences, was appointed to make furth-
er experiments, the result of which con-
iirmed the suspicion of spontaneous
combustion in the Russian official mind

Had and Would.

The colloquial use of the same con
traction Id for ] had and | 7Cotld has
been extended imperceptibly into writ
ing and printing, with results that
threaten to supersede aCould altogether
and to replace it most improperly by
had. Some of our ablest writers have
fallen into this inolegancy, or allowed
their printers to do so--among others
Mr.. Thackeray, who says in the "Vir-
ginians,n II had rather have lost an
ARM instead of "I aCould rather have
lost an arm;" and Mr.. CARLYLE, who
has A doom for Quashee (the negro)
which had rather not contemplated -
instead Of "aCostld rather not" In
stances'of this unnecessary corruption
of the word are to be found so far back
as the days of Shakespeare, and cent
ury later in the usually well-written
and classical pages of the 1dtt5er and
Spectator When had is followed by the
word better, as in the phrase g you had
better, = it is an improper substitute for
would, though "yOu had better do so
and so'' has the small advantage of
being more laconie than the synonymous
phrase: u a0ould be better. if YOU did

haze, its use is still more ungrammaticai.
Thus when the Times, March u, 1879.
says: Z" Sir Wilfrid Lawson had better
haze kept to his original proposal, . it
means that '' Sir Wilfrid Lawson aCould
haze done better to keep, or to have
kept, to his original proposal.' So also
the Spectator, March 2, 1879, when it
wrote: "The motion had better be with
drawn, was guilty Ola permissible col
loquialism, but was grammatically in
correct, and should have written ut
sootttd be better if the motion were With
drawn" In like manner the Examiner
fell into the prevalent carelessness when
it wrote, March 2, 1879: ..If the Uni
versity of London, after an existence of
forty years, can not produce compe-
tent man, il had better cease 10 exist"

A Diamond Tragedy.

IlI
I have heard q story of a diamond
tragedy told to shuddering group of
sympathetic ladies. Mrs. Selfridge.
wife of Admiral Selfridge, after years Of
patient work, had accumulated pass
ports TO high social favor in the shape
Of diamond earrings, breast-pin and
several rings. No one but lady who
has arrived at this point in her career
canfully appreciate this tragedy. One
day, when on board her husband 5 ship,
Mrs. Selfridge began to prepare for
dinner. She took off her diamonds and
put them in a glass of cool water, pre-
paratory to cleaning them. She leaves
the stateroom for moment. During
her absence her husband enters. The
admiral is thirsty. He looks about for
q glass, : He sees one half filed with
dirty water, He pitches this out of a
port-hole, for he is q very neat man.
He then fills up his glass and drinks to
the memory of old times. A moment
later the wife returns. my diamonds!
Oh, my diamondsr'
Down in the deep, dark sea reposes
the treasures. The Admiral, broken
aud ruined man, sits gazing through his
tears at his poor wife, whose raven
black hair has turned pure white in the
intense agony of her grief. Cor. st.
