Mrs. RiveS-Chanler.


cit is we'll known that the Harpers
have one and possibly two stories of
Mis-. Rives-ChanIer, butthey don't seem
to be In a hurry to print. st. Nicholas
has another story of hers, and the Cen
fury, too, but they are probably wait
ing for 1.-THE Quick or the Dead ?" to
blow over. Nevertheless there was
keen competition among the publishers
for Mrs. Rives-Chanler's next novel, and
although the published price she was
said to have accepted for it, $50, 900, is
absurdly exaggerated, she yet got
several thousand dollars, about four
times as much as any American novelist
that can be mentioned.
Mrs. ives-Chanler is of a very indo-
lent turn, and when she is not hard at
work at her writing desk, is generally
lolling in bed. Some guests invited to
visit at Castle Hill were quite disap-
pointed at discovering that the young
genius found her bed and her novel SO
entertaining that she could scarcely be
persuaded to leave them. She is short,
but pretty. Her sister Gertrude is also
a beauty, and there is a younger one of
II or 10 coming on who will, it is
thought, throw both her sisters in the
shade.

Practice Makes Perfect.
From the Youths Companion.

From the Youths Companion.
A recent visitor to the mills where the
bank-note paper is made for the use OF
the government describes the skill and
swiftness with which the sheets are
counted.
q saw one girl whose motions resem-
bled those of a machine in their accu-
racy and lightning-like rapidity. My
eye could not follow the monotonous
flashing movement of her fingers; yet
SO delicate and unerring was her touch
that every imperfect she ct was instantly
detected and dropped" The narrator
says that he discovered in this girl an
old schoolmate, ''whose fingers two years
ago were as clumsy as my own"
The government employs women in
the treasury department in separating
the charred fragments and cinders OF
bank notes accidentally destroyed by
fire, so that their denominations and
numbers may be discovered. A visitor
watched one of these experts float a
mass apparently of black SCOT on water,
and divide it with fine, light touch until
1t took shape and meaning to ner keen
glance.
"My eyes," she said, in answer to his
expression of amazement, "are no
sharper than your own. The skill lies
only in habit"
School-boys, in their cropping efforts
to plan and forecast their future, are apt
to compare themselves, unframed and
crude as they are, with men long skilled
IN their profession and trade, and to
grow hopeless with the contrast.
The student in bookkeeping despairs
as he watches the accountant reckon a
line OF figures with a swift, upward
glance, and the tyro with the pen loses
courage as he sees the old editor dash
off a column of forcible argument in
vivid English, the words coming I'M
summoned when needed. How can
they compete with such ability as this?
They forget that these men began
with steps as hesitating and unable as
their own. They make no allowance
for the stanch, installing ally, ease of
habit, which comes to every patient
worker.

come to him who works and waits,
but nothing comes more surely or more
helpfully than experiences in his work

Let no one be solntent upon the mote
in the eye of his neighbor that he will
forget the beam in his own.
Too commonly the fact is ignored
that a mans opinions and convictions
are his private personal matter, with
which no one else has right to NEEDLE.
In politics, the spending of money, in
social life, in dress and education, each
one should scrupulously avoid acting as
censor OF others who may differ with
himself.
No one is privileged, while guest, to
attack the opinions of the family whose
hospitality he enjoys. When for any
reason, he cannot acquiesce in the fam
lily regulations let him depart and not
try to reform the family to his standard
of proprietv.
A man may believe in homeopathy to
the highest dilution, but that belief
does not entitle him to the privilege OF
calling his neighbor to account becaus e
he chooses to seek relief by means OF
mercury and quinine in as heroic doses
as he may fancy.
By calm, personal arguments, or by the
force of example, one NAV try to con-
vince another that his way is the bet
ter, but true courtesy requires that he
shall not, unasked, present his opinions
in the slightest degree the course of his
opponent
Let no person fatter himself that be-
cause a man is loud of voice and blunt
in speech, ever ready with cruel iudg-
ment of others and Tree with advice on
all matters, that he will pleasantly &C
cept such treatment from others, for he
is quite as likely to resent interference
with bis affairs as the man of gentler
speech and greater charity.
1t is SO easy to Il RIM the habit of med
dlesomeness and to persuade ones self
into the belief that ones mission is to
be private investigator and public ad-
visor" that one is apt to forget that in
presents enough perplexing problems
without trespassing upon the rights of
others in a mistaken zeal to convert
them to better way

Diphtheria and Cats.

Domestic animals have often not only
been suspected but found guilty of
spreading infection, says the London
Sanitary Standard. In his report on the
recent sustained prevalence of diph-
liberia IN Enfield, DR.. Bruce Low of the
medical department of the local govern
ment board incidentally states that dur
Ing the continuance of the epidemic cats
were observed to suffer in considerable
numbers from illness, and in December.
1887, and January, 1888, there was a
large mortality among those animals,
SO much SO that the attention of the
dust contractor was directed to
it. He stated that never
IN his previous experience
had he seen so many dead cats IN the
dust heaps. Some households, seeing
their cats i'll, destroyed them. Though
there were no known cases Of diphtherla
occurring in the practice of the veterin-
airy surgeons at Enfield, yet they saw
many cases of influenza" at this time
among animals. The following is an
illustration Of the possible connection
between diphtheria in children and in
cats: A little boy was taken i'll with
what turned out ultimately to be fatal
diphtheria On the first day of his illness
he was sick and the cat, which was in
the room at the time, licked the vomlt
on the floor. In a few days (the child
meanwhile having died) the animal was
noticed to be i'll and her sufterings being
so severe, and similar to those of the
dead BOY, the owner destroyed her.
During the early part of its illness this
cat had been let out at nights in the
back yard, as usual A few days later a
cat OF a neighbor who lived few doors
further off was noticed to be i'll. 1t had
also been out in the back yards at night.
The second animal, which, however,
recovered, was the pet and play -fellow
of four little girls, who, grieved at the
illness of their favorite, nursed it with
great care. All four girls devel-
oped diphtheria, their mother be-
ing convinced that they got it
from the cat; and, indeed, no
other known source of contact
with infection could be discovered. 1t
is easy to imagine cats catching an in
fictitious disease like diphtheria when
we remember how often milk and other
unused food from the sick room is given
to the cat, or by some people thrown
out into the backyard for the benefit of
their neighbours cats if they have none
OF their own. 1t is frequent occur
renee to see children carrying cats in
their arms, and even kissing them. 1t
is obvious that If the cat We're i'll with
diphtheria the children under such cir
cumstances would almost inevitably
contract the disease

and commenced bathing and rubbing.
Gradually the deep lines of pain On his

THE PRIVATE DETECTIVE.

One of the Chicago Variety, a Husband,
Wife and Revolver.
Detective G. J. Won Arnold was
held to the criminal court by Justice
r. II. White IN $500 bonds on two of
eight charges of obtaining money by
false pretenses, preferred by persons in
Hyde Park who paid Won Arnold IS
each for stars and certificates Of mem
bership in his agency. Justice Lyon
held j. w. Woodman, Won Arnold S
lieutenant, in $500 bonds on similar
charges.
The result of Won Arnold's latest
piece of business was that pretty
young woman, stylishty dressed, and
wearing neat little bonnet that set off
piquant features and slightly turned up
nose to perfection haunted the corner
of Wabash Avenue and Randolph
Streel from 2:30 o'clock until long after
3 SUNDAY afternoon. Just around the
corner in a doorway tall, fne-looking
man stood impatiently awaiting devel-
opments that failed to develop. The
pretty woman was Mrs. Minnie Moon
and the man was her husband, Fred,
who keepsa restaurant at No. 2S Rush
Street. The object of their attention
was G. j. Won Arnold, the detective
who had made an appointment to meet
Mrs. Moon on the corner. On July 9Th
Mrs. Moon engaged Won Arnold, the
detective, to keep watch on her hus-
band. She made a contract to pay the
detective $50 as she supposed. but the
paper subsequently came to light in the
form of an agreement to pay $3.50. Mr..
Won Arnold would not undertake the
work until Mrs. Moons mother, who
is quite wealthy, Endorsed it as security
for the payment of the money. Then
he went on the trail, and or several
days Moon was Swallowed by two men
wherever he went. Won Arnold made
frequent reports to Mrs. Moon of the
improper conduct of her husband, and
Minnie, believing what the detectives
told her, was as miserable as possible.
When the pretty wife was well con-
WINGED of her husbands bad conduct,
Won Arnold, she says, proposed a
meeting. This aroused Minnle's sus-
piciOns, and she Immediately went to
her husband and made clean breast
of the whole affair. He told her not to
pay Won Arnold any more money, but
she was not quite satisfied, and met the
detective as he suggested. She kept
the tenor of the conversation down to
strict business principles, and asked to
have the bill of $50 reduced. FIFTY
dollars y Won Arnold was surprised.
1t was $3.50, and there was the contract.
He, however, consented to reduce it to
SOL if Minnie would meet him at the
corner of Wabash Avenue and Ran
dolph Street Sunday. She wouldn't
and Won Arnold then said business
was business and he would have to sue
her. Mrs. Moon did not want any
publicity and compromised on the
basis OF $3.50, and agreed to meet
Ven Arnold. Thoroughly convinced
of the detectives perfdy. Mrs.
Moon told her husband all about the
affair, and he accom- panied her to the
rendezvous. Whether Arnold's arrest
for obtaining money by false pretenses
from the citizens of Hyde Park occu-
pied all his time, or whether he saw
Mr.. Moon on the corner be ore he COM
mitted himself is not known, but Won
Arnold is not confined to his bed to-
day, and Mr.. Moons revolver still con-
tainS five loaded CARTRIDGES
