that had seen that night on the
bridge,
Then knew that / had not killed
my love for her-that glance made my
heart thrill and brought all the old pain
and longing back.
Dot left the room for few minutes
to consult with her housekeeper and
when she was gone May arose and
stood facing me. She looked so small
and pale, and the eyes raised to mine
were so sad, that q great tide Of pity
rushed over me.

| answered it, | have only been here
for three days
After this explanation we were both
silent for II little while, and May seemed
to be making up her mind to something.
At last she began:
81 want to tell you of a mistake |

done you. One day during that week
that you went to the city while you
were boarding with us, went into your
room to put it in order Among the
papers on your table found the photo
graph of woman--your sister-in-law's
face it was, On the back of 'it"was
written, For my dear husband /
forgive me for wrongng you-I thought
that she was your wife, and | have
thought so until tonight. "
why did you not tell me of your

I'll was so indignant at what |
thought was your treachery, and | did
not want you to think that if it had not

And the dark eyes did not droop as
she answered; Yes, Brian; more than

In all the colder regions of Europe,
says a French writer. cows and horses
near the sea coast occasionally vary their
diet by eating fish. Some horses which
about a century ago were taken from Ice
land to Dunkerque were fed during the
voyage, as well as during their stay at
Dunkerque. on nothing but salt fish.
AT Saint WAIST la Houguc fish is given
to domestic animals. which eat it with
great relish. According to NJ. Valen-
ciennes, a certain kind of fish which is
found in great abundance on some parts
of the Indian coast serves both fresh and
and sailed as food for the horses. KANT
chatka dogs, of course are notorious fish
eaters but not even the authority of
Philostrates can induce us to believe in
his tish-eating sheep, although Ellen
backs him up in guaranteeing that their
flesh acquires the tishy taste of marine
birds. In Lydia and Macedonia sheep
were said to be fattcned with fish, great
ly to the detrimcnt of their mutton. but
it must be admitted that the whole story
has very ancient and fsh-like smell.

FASHION NOTES.

Cuffs are gradually coming into fashion
again.
Carriage mhntlos are of the richest bro
cades and velvets
Birds of paradise trim many OF the
handsomest hats.
The majority of the hats are worn down
upon the forehead.
A tiny blue birds claw is the latest de-
vice for a lace pin.
Velvet dresses made perfectly plain Will
be used exclusively for skating this win
ter.
Buttons of real silver ornament the
front of some Of the imported reception
dresses.
Bands of undyed sealskm are very
stylish on dark red and dark blue velvet
paletots.
Chenille fringe comes in all the new
and rich colors, and is very fashionable
trimming.
Honiton lace is again fashionable,
though it is on the market in only small
quantities.
Kittens heads, pigeons wings and
COChS ncdtiS are all Ill uCllNc ucIlillu
by Paris miliners.
A new fringe intended specially to
trim brocaded goods is of narrow velvet
knotted together to make a chcckered
heading.
A pretty wedding dress is made of
plain white Ottoman silk, made in
severely Grecian style. The trained
skirt is perfectly plain, but the lace
drapcry of the Grecian bodice is to be
fastened with magnificent diamond
clasp, and the square neck and edges of
the half-opcn sleeves are finished with
rare old point lace.
A very handsome wedding gown made
for a bride lis of heavy white velvet,
trimmed with deep tlounces of duchess
lace, headed by downy bands of white
ostrich-feather trimming The effect of
the fall of exquisite, delicate and rich
lace over the soft white velvet is exceed
ingly lovely, and the whole dress will
prove far more becoming to ordinary
compilations than white satin.

The WhistlIng Tenor.

Morere, the French tenor, has been
shut up in an asylum, incurably mad
over his pet hobby-whistling For
years he cultivated that faculty, until he
was able to emit blast that would
brighten the cab horses on the boulevards
of Paris and drive cornet players wild
with envy. Once he was arrested and
fined for disturbing the the public peace,
when he had only whistlcd an air while
walking home home from the opcra-loud
enough, however, to wake up every one
within half a mile, more or less. On
another occasion, he was singing in
Faust at the grand opera, and, having a
cold, gave some false notes. The audience
Kissed. Down he sprang into the
orchestra. and cried; Since you have
begun to hiss, let me tell you that you
don't understand the art in the least.
Now, listen.' Then he gave whistle a
minute long and loud enough to make a
caliope sick. There was no more kissing,
and the opera went on. At present he
believes himself commissioned to learn to
whistle loud enough to drown the sounds
of locomotive and all the bells of Notre
Dame together, and as he practices faith
fully ten hours a day, his fellow lunatics
in the asylum are most worthy objects of

Mr.. John Warren is the oldest settler
in Hockey, and is probably one of the
most successful deer-hunters in the state,
says the Galveston (Texas) NeaoS He
scarcely ever goes out to return empty
handed, but upon the occasion of one of
his recent hunts he met with success I'M
precedented throughout all his hunting
experience. Through that stragetic man
Guyring known only to the experienced
trapper, Mr.. Warren came within rifle
shot of an unsuspecting buck browsing
upon the prairie and fired upon him.
About $50 yards further on was
another deer feeding around as I'M
concerned as his companion. At
the crack of the huntsman's trusty rifle
both deer started off at full speed, run
ming directly toward each other. In
closing the distance between them, and
about midway. the two dear collidcd with
terrific force, one of them springng
about twenty feet in the air, and both
falling to the ground dead-killed by the
collision. On examining the bodies Mr..
Warren found that he had but slightly
wounded the buck at which he had shot,
and that the death of each had been
caused by the force with which the ami
mails had come together. After cutting
their Threats to admit of bleeding, Mr..
Warren returned home with his game,
to relate this, the most remarkable oc-
currence in his hunting experience.

The Inventor of Gaslight.

The Scotch younGstcr who made him
self wooden hat, by gearing his turning
lathe to an eccentric motion, is known to
most people by Il single anccdote, telling
how that piece of ingenuity almost acct
dentally brought him into notoriety and
lucrative employment. Few who enjoy
the warmth of the steam pipes and radia-
tors in their houses, and the light of the
gas lamps in our city streets, or admire
the magical working of the pneumatic
cash tubes in the large city stores, know
that the original inventor of these three
wonderful conveniences of civilization
was William Murdoch, the boy who made
the wooden hat
Murdoch was an inventive fellow from
an early age resembling our own Thomas
Edison in the fertility and activity of his
genius.
His experiments in chemistry were per
formed after working hours, and being
driven with orders and almost constantly
on duty as II machinist, his examination
of different fuel vapors led him to the
discovery of the excellent burning quail
ties of coal gas. He kept ON distilling
and cOmbing until he had proved his dis
coyery; then he described it in paper
to the royal society. and received the
large Rumford gold medal
That was all he got for his invention,
for he never patented it, Had he done
so he might have been Immediately rich:
for though the common people cried out
against the danger of tirepipes, and mem
bcrs Of Parliament secuted the idea of
light without a wick, and Sir Walter
Scott had his joke at illuminating
London with smoke" and even Sir
Humphrey Dayy ridiculed the new dis
covery as impossible, he lived to see gas
used everywhere, in streets, shops, fac
tories, and private dwellings.
An anecdote in connection with this
invention, showing how ready in expedi-
ents Murdoch was, is related of him
when he was in Manchester engaged in
putting up Il steam engine He was in
vited, with William Fairbairn, to dine at
Medlock Bank, then at some distance
from the lighted part of the town. 1t
was dark winter night, and how to
reach the house over the bad roads was a
puzzle to his companion; but Murdoch
went, and after little delay got blad-
der filled with gas, and placing it under
his arm like bag-pipe, discharged
through the stem Of an old tobacco pipe
Il stream of gas, which enabled them to
walk to their destination in safety.
Murdoch died in 1889, in his eighty
fifth wear.

Imported Chinese Dinners.

A Chinese restaurant in San Francisco,
says correspondent, occupies the upper
stories, and the higher you 90 the more
You pay. Some dinner parties cost 800
for half dozen persons, and last for ten
hours. The guests 90 out between
courses as at a theatre. All of the furni-
turc of the place and a great deal of the
wood is imported from China. A China
man will pay twice as much for
a dried imported goose as for fresh one,
and this we'll illustrates how in every
way he spends his money, as far as pos
siblc, among his own people. He puts
little into the American Golfers and takes
great deal out New Zealand fungus
and terrapin. quail, goose, fish brains,
arrack, bamboo shoots (all of which arti-
clcs come from abroad) help, with
numerous incongruous mixtures and for
eign vegetables, to form menu not sur
passed for those that like it, The mys-
terry is that the Chinese are not confirmed
dyspeptics. The wealthy certainly de
serve to be; the poor probably give their
stomachs good long rest.
The rooms where these banqucts are held
are adorned with screens, panels, lanterns
and so on while sweet strains of music
fill the air. To use cuphemism, the
music may be called martial for it is
certainly loud enough and there is suffi-
cient slaughter and havoc. My humble
meal was i'll the sumptuous apartment on
the upper floor: For this we paid " four
bits " Gifty cents. There was fortunately
no bill of fare, and they understand the
word "tea." Pressed rice and monde
script nut-cakes and fruits came in suifi-
cient quantities for any dyspeptic

They Sold Him a Hole.

He was telling the story ina Denver
hotel. Said he:
There were three of us, you see, and
Nevada was n cold climate for us. we
were dead broke, half-starved, and clear
discouraged, when along came a New
Yorker. He wouldn't play cards,
wouldn't be robbed, and we couldn't
stick him with forged and-patents or
bogus preemptions. One day we trailed
out and dug hole into II hill and salted
it bit, and rushed back and offered the
New Yorker the big discovery for $4,000
cash down.
And he bit ~
"Took right hold like par of pin
GERS. Why, he never even stopped to
beat us down. We made cool thous-
and apiece and made for Frisco"
"Purty cool that was"
"Well, dunno. If there was anything
cool in that transaction it was the way
that New Yorker hunted up pard, set
miners to work, bought machinery and
took over $3.50, 600 out of that AR hole
inside of eight months Maybe we've
got over feeling flat, but / guess not"

A good beginning is half the work.
BE praised not for your ancestors, but

How Watch Cases are Made.

Most persons have an ambition 10 carry
gold watch case, and yet few people know
how a watch case is made, or the vast dill
ference in Inequality of them. Ina SOLID
GOLD WATCH CASE, aside from the ncces-
sary thickness for engraving and polishing,
a large proportion of the metal is needed
only to stificn and hold the engraved por-
tons in place, and supply strength. The
surplus is not only needless, but undesira-
bic, because gold is soft metal and cannot
furnish the stiffness, strength and elasticity
necessary to make the case permanently
strong and close-iltting. The perfect watch
case must combine gold with some metal
that will supply that in which the gold is
deficient. This has been accomplished by
the James Boss gold Watch Case .,- - VA,
which saves the WASTE of need - )
less gold, and INCREASES the soLIDITY and
STRENGTH of the case, and at the same time
reduces the cost ONE HALF.

Inauguration Day.

The selection of the 4th of March as
the day for the Inauguration of the Pies
ident of the United States was purely ac-
cidental After the ratification of the
constitution by the States the question of
beginning the new government was refer
red to a committee, which, Oh the 14th
of July, 1888, reported resolution for
that purpose. The passage of the resolu-
ton, owing to the difficulty of agreeing
upon place for the meeting for the first
congress was delayed until the 18th of
September. The year then was near its
close, and it VAS voted that on the first
Wednesday in January, 1882 electors
should be chosen; that they should meet
on the first Wednesday in February to vote
for president and vice president, and the
new government should be commenced on
the first Wednesday in March. This
happened to come on the 4th day of the
month.
