We All Know This Kind.
Mr.. Braudreth met them at the door

Mr.. Brandreth met them at the door
of his mothers cottage. 1t was very
small cottage on the outside, with
good deal OF stained glass en- ecidence
in leadut sashes; where the sashes
were not -eaded and the glass not
stained, the pancs were cut up into
very large ones, with little ones rOund
them. Everything was very old-fash-
ioned inside. The door opened di-
rectly into wainscOted square hall,
which had large fireplace with
cleaning brass andirons. and a carved
mantel carried to the ceiling. 1t was
both baronial and colonial in its deco
ration; there was part of suit of imi-
tati0n armOr under a pair Of moose
antlers on one wall, and at one side of
the fireplace there was spinning
wheel, with a tuft of flax ready to be
spun. There were japanese swords on
the lowest mantel-shelf, together with
fans and vases; long old tlint-lock
musket stretched across the panel
above. Mr. Brandreth began to show
things to Annie, and to tell how little
they cost, as soon as the ladies entered.
His mothers voice called from above,
Now, Percy, you stop till get there!
and in a moment or two she appeared
from behind yOrtiere in one corner.
Before she shook hands with the ladies,
or allowed any kind of greeting, she
pulled the pOrtiere aside, and made
Annie admire the snug concealment of
the staircase. Then she made her go
upstairs and see the chambers. and the
secondhand colonial bedsteads. and
tho audirOuS pyeryWhpra and the old
chests of drawers and their brasses;
and she told her some story about each.
and how Percy had picked it up and
had it repaired. When they came
down. the son took Annie in hand
again and walked her over the ground
floor. ending with the kitchen, which
was in the taste of an old New England
kitchen, with hard-seated high-back
chairs, and kitchen table with curl
ously turned legs, which he had picked
up in the hen house of neighbOring
farmer for a song. There was an au-
thentic crane in the diningroom fire
place. which he had found in a heap
of scrap-iron at blacksmith's shop,
and had got for next TO nothing. The
sideboard he had got at an old second
hand shop in the North End; and he
believed ii was an heirloom from the
old ministers of she North End church.
Everything. nearly, in the Brandreth
cottage was an heirloom, though An
ME could not remember afterward any
object that had been an heirloom in
the Brandreth family.-Fr0m w. u.

Pretty Widows.

There's lots of pretty widows to be
seen nowadays. especially when the
weather is fine" said brakeman on
one of the Brooklyn elevated roads TO
reporter of the New York telegram,
admiring a black-eyed beauty who
wasn't an hour over q years of age.
She was in deep mourning. and the
len: cEsps veil draped around her bon
net so that it would fall down her
shoulders with Al artistic dash, was a
sufficient though mute evidence of her
widowhood. If more was needed it
was furnished by lisping toddler.
whose golden hair had glinted in the
light of four summers, and who teased
his ''mama" for permission to place his
muddy shoes on the seat so that he
could look out of the window
I'VE have 'em on almost every train
IN the early afternoon these pleasant
days. You can tell 'em every time, for
they always carry little basket and
small shovel On the outward trip the
baskets are filed with pretty plants,
but when you see them coming back
there's nothing in the basket but few
faded flowers and may be some spears
OF grass. This line runs out near Cy-
press Hills and Evergreen cemeteries
you know, and the young widows go
out in May and June to fix up the
graves of their husbands. It's a pretty
sight, and makes a man believe that
there is great deal of happiness be-
tween married folks. Such sights as
that knock out of mans mind the
eynicim and disgust which gets hold

they are not. Middle-aged and even
elderly widows are often seen going
about their labors of love. but of course
they don't attract our attention rs do
the young and pretty ones. That's
natural, isn't it. Sometimes we get to
know something about the circumstan-
ees OF particular case. Where there

happens that after the mother and the

on this road I've heard so many tales
OF younger fellows earning small salar-

OF leaving young widow with a

A Pen Sketch OF Austria's Emperor.

A correspondent describes the EN-
peror Francis Joseph as one of the
baldest men in his dominions. He has
rugged face, half hidden under a
mass of wild mustache and whiskers.
and his features at a first glance denote
something of the ferocityof the hyena.
He has a hard frown, cold stare, a
strong rasping voice, and his habitual
expression is one of intense seriousness.
de Is, however, extremely gentle,
good-natured, and kind-hearted. His
ruling passion is soldering, and his
favorite amusement sport. He rises at
. O'Clock summer and winter, and has
disposed of a mass of business before
most men are out of bed. Unless
obliged to attend late party he is
generally in bed by 10 p. III. He lives
very frugally; takes beer at luncheon,
champagne at tdinner-neyer more than
two glasses-and smokes the common
est kind of Austrian cigars-a long
thin weed with a straw in it. called a
Virginia. This is the favorite smoke
of NieDnese cab-drivers. Over-indul-
gence in it caused the Emperor some
years ago to be afflicted with gastric
complaint, and for long time he was
forbidden to smoke, but he has now
begun again.-L0ado7s Figaro.

Implements Of Destruction.

The following particulars connected
with the proposed new magazine arm
will doubtless be interesting to many.
The bore is 0.303 in diameter. giving
about 33 per cent more rounds than
the Martini-Henry for the same weight
of ammunition. 1t has a detachable
magazine. Experiments with the
troops ~ shorseliffe with the Martini
Henry, VITA l-hc with p fixed maya
1ins, Ias slss sae with detachable
magazine, have shown that the last
has great advantage, arising from
the circumstance that when a maga-
zine Is empty another filled magazine
can be put III its place in the same time
it takes to get cartridge out of the
pouch and load with it. Thus the
soldier is able to keep his attention
directed almost wholly at the object
at which he is firing, so long as his
supply Of magazines last. In a fixed
magazine the rapidity is confined to
the number of rounds supplied by the
single magazine When they are dis
charged, the rifle is simply a breech-
loader, until n suitable opportunity
arises for recharging the magazine,
unless some special charging gearis ap-
piled which approaches in a degree
the conditions OF Il detachable maga-
zine. One magazine is attached by Il
chain to the rifle, SO as to secure its
retention. Subsequently magazines
may be discharged and thrown away,
if necessary, in the full heat of action;
for in the continued use of magazines
we are contemplating time of SUI
preme stress and Importance The
attached magazine contains eight
rounds, those subsequently used six
rounds each. At present the infantry
soldier will carry one or two spare
magazines; thus, with the first one, he
is furnished with a reserve of four
teen or twenty rounds for rapid dis
charge, according to whether he has
one or two spare magazines. Cavalry
and mounted infantry could carry
bandoliers with eight or ten detach-
able magazines. Sergt. Beckwith of
the Tenth Hussars carried eight mag
aZines in his bandOler during the ex-
periments. Mounted infantry thus be-
come specially formidable, for it may be
noticed that, both as to carriage power
and the object of dispatching them to
produce a rapid, telling blow, maya
zines in bandoiiers are admirably
adapted to their case. Three hundred
and fifty rifles are ready for the troops.
The Rubin cartridge is to be used cx-
perimentally. but English ammunition
is progressing, and will, it is hoped, be
ready when the experiments are over.

A Bit of Human Nature,

Among the places in which self-re-
vealing scraps of human nature crop
out are railway stations. In one the
other day, says the Boston Record. a
big brawny Irishwoman, whose good
clothes showed that her condition in
the world had risen in a Iatio rather too
rapid for her couture" went up TO the
office to purchasean out-of-town ticket
for herself and little girl At the same
moment a male acquaintance of hers,
who was about the same business,
forestalled her efforts and got her the
tickets, and then gallantly, if a trife
haitingly, refused to take the money.
An, sotheration to ye," cried the
woman, in rough, good hulnored ban,

Lady AUdiey's Secret"

as a girl Miss Braddon was attract
ed both to the profession of literature
and the stage, says the New York Mail

country theatres, and at the same time
wrote short stories and literary
sketches, her first little books seeing
the light through the press of prov
incial publisher. She had written
and essay, before Lady Audley.n The
story Of that story is a romance in it's
self. Mr.. Maxwell had started in more
or less of rivalry to Dickens first per-
iodical, magazine called Robin Good
telioee. DR.. Macllay was its editor, and
Lascellus WraXall was his second in
command. There had been some diff
ficuity in regard to the opening novel,
in consequence of which the new per-
iodical was upon the eve of postpon-
ment, a serious coutretemps in the
face of its extensively advertised date
of publication. The day before de-
cision was necessary Miss Braddon
heard of the difficulty and offered tc
