Practical Value of Science.

An illustration of the practical usefulness of bacteriology was furnished recently An Italian steamer arrived loaded with immi- grants. There had been no cholera on board, but, as the vessel reached port, 0 suspicious case of diarrhea occurred ill O child The symptoms were not perfectly typical of cholera. Some of the dejections were taken, and sterilized tubes were inoculated and taken to the Carnegie laboratory. It would take four days to develop the cultures, and the question arose whether the steamer should be delayed for that period of time. It was finally decided to do so. The cultures devel- oped in the way characteristic of Asiatic cholera, and the diagnosis was made. Subse- quently other cases of cholera appeared, and the culture diagnosis was abundantly con frmed. But no more striking example of the utility of scientific studies could be fur nished than the one referred to.-Medical Record.

CHAPTER TX.

"Now, my good creature, whatever you have to say to me, out with it at once! I don't want to hurry you needlessly; but these are business hours, and have other peoples affairs to attend to besides yours"
 Addressing Ferrc.ri's wife, with his usual blunt good humor in these terms, MT. Troy registered the lapse of time by glance at the watch on his desk, and then waited to hear what his client had to say to him.
 "Its something more, sir, about the letter with the thousand pound note," Mrs. Ferrari began. q have found out who sent it to me-"
 Mir. Troy started. "This S news indeed!" he said. "Who sent you the letters"
 "Lord Montbarry sent it, sir"
 It was not easy to take MT. Troy by sur- prise. But Mrs. Ferrari threw him com petey off his balance For awhile he could only look at her in silent surprise. "Non- sense" he said, soon he had recovered himself. "There is some mistake-it can't bel"
 "There is no mistake" Mrs. Ferrari re- joined, in her most positive manner "Two gentlemen from the insurance offices called on me this morning, to the letter. They were completely puzzled--especially when they heard of the bank note inside. But they know who sent the letter. His lordship's doc tor ill Venice posted it at his lordships re- quest. Go to the gentlemen yourself, sir, if you don't believe me- They were polite enough to ask if I could account for Lord Montbarry writing to me and sending me the money. gave them my opinion-I said it was like his lordship's kindness"
 "Lilze his lordship's kindness!" Mr. Troy re peated, in blank amazement
 "Yes, sirl Lord Montbarry knew me, like all the other members of the family, when was at school on the estate ill Ireland If he could have done it, he would have protected
 my poor dear husband But he was helpless himself in the hands of my lady and the baron-and the only kind thing he could do was to provide for me ill my widowhood, like the true nobleman he was!"
 "A very pretty explanation" said MT. Troy. "What did your visitors from the in surance offices think of it?' "They asked if I had any proof of my hus bands death."
 "And what did you say?' "I said, I give you better than prool gentlemen; I give you my positive opinion.' "That satisfied them, of course?' "They didn't say so in words, sir. They looked at each other-and wished me gooC morning."
 "Well, Mrs. Ferrari, unless you have some more extraordinary news for me, think shall wish you good morning, too. I can taks | note of your information lvery startling in l formation, l owp); and, ill the absence O | proof, can do no more" T can provide you with proof, sir-if tha l is all you want" said Mrs. Ferrari, with grea

dignity. T only want to know, first, whether the law justifies me in doing it. You may nave seen in the fashionable intelligence or the newspapers, that Lady Montbarry has arrived in London, at Newbury's hotel. I propose to go and see her."
 "Ihe deuce you dol May I ask for what purpose?n
 Mrs. Ferrari answered in mysterious "hisper: For the purpose of catching her in trap! l shan't send in my name-I shall announce myself as person on business and the first words say to her will be these: I come, my lady, to acknowledge the receipt of the money sent to Ferrari's widow Ahl you may we'll start, Mir. Troy! It almost takes you off your guard, doesn't it2 Make your mind easy, sir; 1 shall find the proof that everybody asks me for ill her guilty face. Let her only change color by the shadow of a shade-let her eyes only drop for half an instant-I shall discover heri The one thing want to know is does the law permit it!'
 "The law permits it," Mr. Troy answered, grave!y; "but whether her ladyship will per- init 1t, Is quite another question. Have you really courage enough, Mrs. Ferrari, to carry out this notable scheme of yours? You have been described to me, by Miss Lockwood, as rather nervous, timid sort of person-and, | say you justify the description"
 Eff you had lived in the country, sir, in- stead of living in London" Mrs. Ferrari re- piled, you would sometimes have seen even sheep turn on dog. am far from saying that am a bold woman-quite the reverse. But when l stand ill that wretch's presence and think of my murdered husband, the one of us two who is likely to be frightened is not me. I am going there now sir. You shall hear how it ends. wish you good morning" 1"
 With those brave words the courier's wife gathered her mantle about her and walked out of the room.
 Mr. Troy smiled-not satirically, but com passionately "The little simpleton!' he thought to himself "If half of what they say of Lady Montbarry is true, Mrs. Ferrari and her trap have but poor prospect before them I wonder how it will ends" All MT. Troy's experience failed to fore warn him of how it did end.

Cossacks Routed by Women.

A squadron of Cossacks were quartered at Tatio, near Yelisavetpol (Gendje) in Ar menia, Russia. They said they were come to draft the whole male population of the village and make them soldiers. That was too much for the patience of the females to stand. They took up sticks, brooms, hoes, hatchets, pokers, anything they could lay hands on, and marched against these whole sale manufacturers of grass widowhood The Cossacks declining to fight the women, were put to flight. The women, encouraged by their success, proceeded to lay siege to the government building, and the mayor was not able to appease their wrath. He telegraphed to the governor, who dispatched a few more squadrons of horse to restore peace. During the night, however, the excitement of the women had cooled down and there was no more fight in them.-Foreign Letter.

Chinese Ministers Open House.

The Chinese minister literally keeps open house. He has big receptions and little re- captions, musicales, dances, dinners, card parties, etc. The old fellow was for many years tax gatherer in one of the most popul- ous and prosperous provinces of the Chinese empire, and he seems to take much delight in scattering for the general benefit here frac- tion of the results of his patriotic services to his state Every week or two he selects two dowagers to act as hostesses for him, and gives them the privilege of inviting such guests as they please.

CHAPTER XI.
"Lady Montbarry, miss. "

Gladly Montbarry. miss"
 Agnes was writing letter, when the ser want astonished her by announcing the yisi- tors name. Her first impulse was to refuse to see the woman who had intruded on her. But Lady Montbarry had taken care to fol- low close on the servants heels. Before Agnes could speak she had entered the room.
 sI beg to apologize for my intrusion, Miss Lockwood. have question to ask you, ill which I am very much interested. No one can answer me but yourself" In low, hesi- ,ating tones, with her glittering black eyes , mt modes.ly On the ground, Lady Mont ilrry opened the interview ill those words.
 Without answering Agnes pointed to a hair. She could do this, and, for the time,
 le could do no more. All that she had read t the hidden and sinister life in the palace at Venice: all that she had heard of Montbarry's melancholy death and burial in foreign land: all that she knew of the mystery of Ferraris disappearance, rushed into her mind when the black robed figure confronted her. standing just inside the door. The strange conduct of Lady Montbarry added a new perplexity to the doubts and misgivings that troubled her. There stood the adventur- ess whose character had left its mark on so- ciety all over Europe-the Fury who had terrified Mrs. Ferrari at the hotel-incon- ceivably transformed into tlmld, shrinking womanl Lady Montbarry had not once ven tured to look at Agnes since she had made her way into the room. Advancing to take fine chair that had been pointed out to her, she hesitated, put her hand on the rail to sup port herself, and still remained standing s.Please give me moment to compose my self,n she said, faintly. Her head sunk on her bosom; sue stood before Agnes like con scious culpri5 before merciiess Judge
 The silence that followed was, literally, the .;,o,oo of fear on both sit,es. In the midst of it the door was opened once more, and Henry Westwick appeared.

A FLOOD OF SILVER.
Storing Newly Minted Dollars in the
Treasury Vault.

From the Washington Star
There is a stream of silver pouring into
Washington at the rate of $500, 900 worth a
day. 1t comes in the shape of fresh. glitter
ing, new dollars, standard silver dollars of
the vintage Of IS, with the milling unnicked
and the face of the Goddess OF Liberty fresh
from the stamp. The stream is flowing at
present from the Philadelphia mint, but be-
fore long the sluice gate will be switched
around and the shining food Will be turned
in from New York, then, after u time from
New Orleans, and finally from San Francis
co, thus given the United States silver
belt that will outshine even that of a cham
pion pugilist. The Adams Express Compan
carries tne silver in trunks, or iron-bound
boxes, guar ded by armed mon. AT this end
of the line the silver is carried direct to the
treasury department in great irOn-latticed
wagons that look like the animal cages III a
meIagerie. At the treasury the boxes are
taken into the building and into the base
ment, then down a winding stairway in the
northeast corner of the building into the
sub-basement, where the air at present has
au odor of soft mustiness that brings
thoughts of mysterious treasures, hidden
gold, stories of Capt. Kidd, and similar
ideas. The visions OF the mystic are sud
denly dispelled by a prosy, business-like
door of grated iron that bars the way and
brings the visitor to halt.
IN THE VAULT
Treasurer Hyatt and a reporter took this
route last Wednesday when the first con
segment Of silver arrived, and were cons
quently stopped in their course by the
barred door. In the distance was heard the
chnk and musical rattle Of coins like the
cuains that are ratified behind the scenes at
the theater when the prisoner is being ironod
or liberated. Mr.. Hyatt shook the door,
but 10 noise was drowned by the clnking.
Another shake brought man VINO opened
the door for the Treasurer. Inside the small
room ON the other side of the grating is the
