How Meissonier Recovered {
Very Valuable Picture.
From the Boston TRANSCRIPT.

From the Boston Transcript
A long time before the Franco Prus-
sian war MISSIONER had sold to Ger
man for $4,000 francs his General
Desaix Questioning a Prisoner" Dur
ing the siege on Paris the artist par
ticipated in the defense OF the capital,
and after the close of the disastrous
struggle did not cease to entertain a
bitter hatred for the fatherland. He
was particularly panied to think that
one of his best pictures was owned by
an enemy OF France, and above all
that it should be the portrait OF
Desaix. one OF the nobIest Of French
military heroes. While Vanderbilt
was sitting to MISSIONER for Dor
trait, the artist told the story of this
lost picture almost with tears in his
eyes.
The old mans grief for this
child OF his brush held captive
by Teuton made deep impress
sion on Vanderbilt. One morning
Meissioner's servant was surprised to
see the sitter, always so exact, arrive

''Mr. MISSIONER has not yet returned
from his turn in the Bots" said the
servant as he opened the door ''No
matter" answered the visitor. II
will wait for him in his studio" When
the door was shut Vanderbilt remov-
ed the covering from canvas that he
had brought with him, placed it on
an easel in good light, and then bur.
led himself in his newspaper.
MISSIONER returned in due season,
entered the studio, and, having caught
sight OF the picture the first thing, he
exclaimed with the greatest emotion:
"My Desaix" and then rushing out
OF the room, quite forgetful of Wander
bilt, the old man called his wife and
daughter that they might rejoice with
him over this mysterious and unex-
pected restoration. This moment OF
effable Joy to MISSIONER cost Wander
bilt $50, OOOfrancs. This picture isnow

what has happened?" Icried, in alarm.
ooh my sonl" and her eyes filed
with tears, sit seems as if Gods iudgi
ment came upon him, and it has over
whelmed them all. Eustace was car.
ried dead from that fatal field. The.
news killed his poor mother, who, you;
know, was still very weak from that
last illness. His father, overwhelmed,
by the loss of both wife and child, IN,
a fit OF insane despair died by his own
hand. 0 Walter, dreadful iudg-

81 can hardly tell you, my child, my.
heart is so sad. These horrible TRACE
dies so preyed upon her that reason
fled; and she is now in the care of her
aunt, quiet and inoffensive, but she
can never be herself again.
This dreadful news brought me low
again. Spring came before recovered;
nor did | then recover except in bodily
health, for even now l carry that in
my heart which cannot be healed.
Keenest and deepest of all my
wounds was theloss of her from whom
reason had fled. 1t never returned.
But happily her poor life was short.
Within two years, father, mother,
sister, brother, all lay side by side in
the silent graveyard; and thus, for
that once happy family, ended one
mlscalled "affair of honor"
Inever met either of the seconds in
that affair again. They at once fled
from college. And so the meaning OF

any deceit was practiced or intended,
l do not know,-nor can it matter to
me now.-Youth's Companion.

Nelson ParalyZcd Them.

The last time that the beautiful
Adelaide Nelson played Juliet in New
York, says the New York Sun, she
had babe Romeo a lingering farewell
and was turning away from the bal
cony when q sudden whim seemed to
seize her, and, wheeling about swiftly,
she caught his face in both her hands,
and. leaning forward, gazed into his
eyes. The house was still as death.
The audience, already seriously
wrought upon, and feeling parched,
arid and uncouth, leaned forward
nervously. Two thousand eyes were
riyeted upon the actress. There was
a long wait; then she slowly pressed
her lips to Romeo's and seemed lost
to everything around her. The people
sat like stones. A programme foated
down from above and fell athwart a
woman's bonnet and she did not raise
her hand to remove it. A spinster
coughed. Juliet raised her head
slowly and glided away, looking back
over her shoulder as she disappeared
with an expression that no man who
saw it will ever forget There was a
long silence and then the play went
on. But no one paid the slightest
attention to it. One by one the
people relaxed their strained and in
tent attitudes and leaned back in
their chairs There was no rustic or
noise. The woman did not notice
the programme on her bonnet until
the curtain fell.

Expert Opinion on Scissors,
From Editor Charles A. Dana.

From Editor Charles A. Dana.
In editing newspaper a pen is a
necessary anticle; so is pencil,
inasmuch as it may at times be more
convent than a pen to write with.
A pair Of scissors is also necessary.
But what is most necessary is brains
Next to brains in value I estimate
what we call the newspaper instinct,
the sense OF what news the public re-
quire and what discussion will be
most affective. Next after this come
special talents and general knowledge;
and the more knowledge, general and
special, q newspaper man has the
more useful he will be.
But with all these gifts and graces
he won't accomplish much unless he
also possesses a sense of humor and
an uncompromising love OF truth and
of the United States constitution.
A pair Of scissors, however, is not
as good as pair OF moderate-sized
shears, pnd neither scissors nor shears
can n.sks journalist.

BOGUS BUTTER.

The manufacturers of butterine claim that
it is certainly cleaner, and at least as whole

ssloners OF Minnesota want the people who
eat butterine, the dealers who sell it con-
trary to law, and the lawyers who defend
them in so doing, to see with their own eyes,
aided by the microscope, the toothsome
morsel which the law would prevent them
from enjoying. The samples analysed were
bought OF storekeepers in Minneapolis, and
to The eye and taste were a. superior article
of butterine. The names of the dealers who
sold it are withheld until it SHALL be an

PROF. NACHTR1EB's REPORT.


The following is an extract from the illus
trated report of Prof. Nachtrieb, of the state
university, to the dairy commission, of the
samples of butterine given him for micro
scopical examinations:
@The examination Of these samples was by
NO means exhaustive, and they would proba-
bly, yield much more than the accompanying
figures indicate. The best and cleanest
looking sample had butter odor and taste,
and would readily pass for butter. It had q
very small variety of living organisms. but 6
great many spores which, under favorable
conditions, I have no doubt would have
terminated. It also contained masses Of dead
mould. bits of cellulous wood. various colored
particles, shreds of hair, bristles ETC. The
other two samples teemed with life and
yielded microscopic preparations of the
moulds and bacteria that would have glad
dened the heart OF the student Of biology
The microscope revealed the fact that the
greatest variety of life existed in the inner
portion OF these samples, and that the outer
portions contained the greatest quantity of
active bacteria. The animals found in the
buJterine belong to the type Of protozoa.
Doubtful portions of worms were also
noticed. Many Of the protocol, under favor
able conditions, pass into an encysted stage
or develop spores within protected capsules,
and in these conditions lie dormant
till the environment is again favorable,
and it can hardly be doubted that
some OF the many spores found in these
butternes were merely in dormant state.
Tho great number and variety of organisms
found in the samples, Indicate the use of
foul water and a criminal filthy process in
making it, There can not be the slightest
doubt that the person who eats SO promiscu-
Gus and so lively mixture as the butterine
examined. is running great risk, morally as
well as physically. The peace and happiness
of future generations is greatly involved in
dulging in our homes articles of food filled
!. with spores and seeds Of the various classes
of the lower organisms, we are increasing
the dangers of parasitis1n. Spores that now
are harmless, may, by gradual adoption
come inimical to the health and happiness Of
countless millions"
