A Failure.

New YORK, August 22-Richard G. H r
ris, wholesale paper dealer, has failed.
Just before grain trading opened, meet
ing of the members of the grain trade was
held, when it was announced by Mcintyre
that Post, who failed yesterday, would make
no assignment. but would waive the rules
and settle on the prices Of the first CALL"
provided the market was somewhere near
last niqht's figures. His contracts, it was
said, show a short interest on wheat of l.
500 900 bushels. and long interest on corn
of 100000 bushels.
Wheat opened with much excitement, but
irregular and not high, as expected. De-
cember wheat was sold at the same mo-
ment at 99A and $685. There was rush to
has been a full buying in 10 cover Posts
contracts. Traders feel greatly relieved at
the satisfactory outcome of the failure.

The eager look faded from Curran's face, and his blue eyes grew troubled For an instant he did not answer, but stood with folded arms gazing out into the street.
 "What is a wife?' he said at last. "A woman who loves man and lives in his love, who pines in his absence and listens to the coming of his foot steps, the sweetest music in the world to her; to whom all the gifts of life would be nothing without him: to whom poverty and disgrace would lose their hatefulness if he shared them. A wife is sweetheart, hundred times tenderer and happier" His voice grew bitter and hard for a moment as he added, ''No, have no wife, Bertha has left me-
 He heard shout, and score of hurrying forms rushed Iy his window. He turned from the window in q sudden passion of ex- citcmen5.
 ''The strike has begun. What pity do the rich deserve! Even their women are taught only to break honest 1oen's hearts. They are beautiful as the angels of heaven and cruel and pitiless as the angels of hell'
 ''But wait,' cried Philip, catching him by the arnl. Curran had not yet spoken the longed for words to protect Berthas name from the insult of another suspicious thought But shout rolled up from the street, and another and another in quick succession Curran shook him off and, catching his hat from the table, sprang down the stairs.

CHAPTER XVIII.
WHY COULDN'T SHE HAVE wAITEDl

WHY COULDN'T SHE HAVE WAITED?
 The new maid, who showed Philip Breton into Mrs. Ellingsworth's parlor, was not near ly as pretty as her predecessor in office, but he was too much absorbed with his delicate elrand to take any notice of her. Bertha was alone somewhere deserted, unprotected Something must be done for her. It was a strange place to seek pity for her, 1n the woman's bosom which he had seen heaving in hate of her; but magnanimous heart is wont to count on the generosity of others. The maid had said Mr. Ellingsworth was not in, and so he was left to appeal to the woman ly tenderness of bis wife.
 He ro3o suddenly from the satin covered ;o--. and looked woade-iIGl:- at Q wolnan'3 e1lrn il the doorway. Could this be the poor ..5.lo factory girl, this fashioaably dressed woman, with q train l-ke queens? He had same old calico dress, perhaps with the dia--y, plaid shawl about her shoulders.
 But the girl was not so sensitive as to be an- noyed. Had not she kept him waiting while sae dressed on purpose to enjoy triumph? And now shc was quite pleased at the plain evidence of it. 6he smiled rather consciously cs sho extended her ieweled little hand to hin
 "Why haven't you called beforess Her voice had lost the desperate or sullen tone he remembered in it of old, but he was not sure he liked it any better, He bowed, lko any gentleman, as he touched her hand, and noticed tue great gold bracelets on her slim wrists Philip was unpleasantly reminded of GaaGa taess haad tlaa3 t1SYa1aeGtS ta1znR tenlf1

The American at IDinner.

Americans are hospitable, in a certain way, that approaches lavishneSs. Whenever
 hey give dinners at clubs, or at home, they iisplay their hospitality by elaborate menus which comprise too many dishes for mans
 aste or digestion. This is not the epicurean iea There is more merit in @ dinner where
 he quality of food, it's cookery and service
 re attended to, and the most enjoyable ban luet is that where not five courses are ex- .eeded. Look at the menus of some large 'anquets. and you will find that they aver .ge ten courses, and it is not uncommon to ee a dinner at a club or house exceed twelve curses, with every procurable dish in the market. The American is not heavy eater md his digestion is more frequently than lot imperfect. He can, consequently, but imply taste tho various dishes, or else gorge himself like a child at Christmas Such ,laborate dinners are often considered bores because ono cannot leave the table with satis- action.
 It is no little art to give real enjoyable Timer. The people here are too busy to be- come good dinner givers, for it requires an dler to be successful at this. Our wealthy hen do not entertain at home, and at the .lubs they often lavish without approach ing epicurianisn1.. More attention is now paid than formerly to menu cards and ser vice. A menu card should be original, sim pie and elegant. So many of them are gaudy and over ambitious that they destroy the effect desired. It is pleasant to begin dinner after glancing at a refreshing menu card. It should always be typical, if possi- ble, of the object of the G.nner, and then a dinner should never be served without flow CTS, which are important features of table rangemeats.--William Lucas in Globe Democrat

CHAPTER XIX.
A RADICAL.

'Oh, my God, my God, why couldn't bavo waited ?"
 S.lo tore the gold chain from her neck and cast it on tho floor. Her husband had given it to her, and she hated him at this moment end the proud name he had put upon her. She had rather one smile of that others than ell these empty golden favors
 'I am sick of their soft ways and their lying tongues" she moaned; "why didn't l vaitF Jane Ellingsworth began to walk rapidly about the room, wrenching the great cold bands about her wrists, unconscious that she chafed and bruised the skin
 II might have known God would not deny ,.i1l to me. I wanted him so much. Oh, my iovc, my darling, I would have fought for you, would have starved for you. It would nave been sweet with you, and 1 could not wait one year. I might have known it would ,ocle, but could not wait" She drove her .ails into hcr flesh as she clasped them in her .lruish She panted for breath; her rich .ilh dress seemed to suffocate her, and the oerfumed air was too heavy and dead; ii seemed to strangle her. ......-.....
 ''IIe is free; he would have opened his arms 70 mo. IIc may be coming now to ask me to TO with him. He could never have loved shat cold, bloodless creature. An, how ] could have loved him. I would have taught lim thata woman can love-"
 She unclasped her hands and let them fall rently to her side, and her convulsed face sook on new, soft tenderness. 1T would go with him." she mu1mured. IA hungry heart cannot feed on such things as these Oh, but he would not have mo, low creature who has sold hersef he would not have me- He would despise me; he would not even look at mo.
 She fell back in one of the satin covered chairs she had bought with her husbands money, and cried and sobbed till the salt fountains dried up. It was then, while she sat slent and fearless, looking at her bruised wrists and at tho wounds her nails had mado, nat sae hoard familiar, delicate tread in
 ne hall. It was as well MT. Ellingsworth lid not catch tho expression on her set, weary face as his tall form appeared in the doorway. He seemed to her fancy that moment the most terrible monster in the world, this ele- gant figure of man, whose disposition was tho very essence of refinement, and she dropped her eyes to the carpet as he came toward her with his eternal smile
 "All alone, Jenniea Why you have dropped your chain, here it is on the floor" "Oh, thank you, ? but she shuddered in spite of herself as he seated himself near her and warmed her hands fondly between his own soft, white palms.
 ''My little girl" he began.
 Yes she was his, his and no others, his every day and hour of her life, for hadn't he bought her, and what better title was there than that by purchases She raised her eyes and made them resb on his hne, smooth shaven face. She bad never noticed before certain cold and crudl light in his eyes, as if he could enjoy skoeply tho torture of a living soul, or that beside the sensual lines l of his finely chiseled nounth there yas. a sagssgtioa sf ap sza2tsits J IfsFa}itY Y dh tho

It was a little paso o ,4ock the next morn- ing that Philip Breton, pale from a sleepless night, knocked at low studded door ill an ill ventilated tenement house, where they told him Curran lived. Within was Bertha, the high bred woman, wontel to the costliest lnxuries of wealth. And she was willing, then, to live in such squalor as this to be with the man she loved. Could change have been cruel enough to have touched her? Per haps infant hung hungrily on her bosom, and Curran, fallen back into his vulgar tradi- tions, lounged in red flannel shirt sleeves in her presence. Could he bear the sight? But she might be alone; his heart beat faster with terror and hope. She would lift her sweet eyes pleasantly to hi,n-so easy it is for wo- men to forget the agony they have caused, She would hold out her shapely hand to him, but it would be stained and worn from hard ships Should he fall at her feet? Would he be able to remember she was another's-dead to hims
 He knocked again possibly no one was at home.
 "Cone in." It was mans voice.
 As Philip opened the door he saw the man le sought by the window. eagerly looking up md down the street, as if waiting for some ign. There was no guilty fear or shame ill he calm face that was turned to his visitor
 Breton" He gave him his hand with learty good will. ''Somchow I could not speak last night, but you have begun noble work. Why, had rather feel the proud sat sfaction you must have, I would rather l,e Il your place than the greatest man in the whole world"
 Philip was afraid to look about him. Per- laps BeI tha had no wish to speak to him, or =!5o she was not hera; there was no at;nos- 3here Of a Woman's love and care in the >lace, somehow. But Curran went on in his quick, eager way, "The rich men have the, most glorious privilege ever men had. Each man Of wealth can let the fountains of light aod joy into the lives of village in some 'Vay which shall make his name blessed for ever. Instead of that, whole generations of as have to break ourselves in pieces in the effort to wear away their rock. We fail, as che wletched 2,OOo creatures who strike here today will fail, to gain one privilege more ior ourselves, yet our children may profit rom our sacrifices, perhaps or their children Anything is better thsu spiritless, eternal submission"
 rlasp and turned to look about him. No wo- mans shawl hung, on the rack. No baby's shoes T toys were ib sig ht. A nuns rude hands had ct the chairs in an awkward TOW. A mans lands made the comfortless looking bed that tood in one corner. There was no soft scent f perfume, such as Bertha would have left chind her if she had but lately gone. Why, .ertha could never have breathed for a loment there. Love can do much, but it 'annot make woman over.
 'Where is your wife?" Philip asked in a .ow, breathless voice. "Bertha."

ON PHYSICAL CULTURE.

Opposed to Pugilistic Resorts, but in
 Favor of Boxing Gloves.
 One of the vital questions affecting the ris- ing generation which fathers and mothers often consider, and are in great doubt about, is what form of exercise their boys and young men should be encouraged Co take. The Herald advised its correspondents some time ago to get opinions on the subject from men of prominence.
 Mayor Abram $. Hewitt said: "I am O ihysical wreck, and ought to have been in ny grave ten years ago. Yet I made n speech, as you recall to me, few seasons ago to the members of the Young Mems Christian association on the subject of physi- cal culture believe that would today be strong, hearty man if had early acquired, and constantly practiced, reasonable ath- letic exercises. l was instrumental in estab- ishing the gymnasium in the Christian asso- ciation's building, and I decidedly coun- .enanced the introduction there of boxing ,loves at time when the innovation was opposed. Sparring is now a cnuntenanced sport there, but bummers, loafers and fight ITS don't get into the premises, and the spar ing is as gentlemanly as checkers
 'But since have been the mayor I have leaned New York city of pugilistic resorts. You remember that the Bowery used to 5s
 
 inGs at their Tears, wherein nightly boxing matches were the attraction for gatherings f bums and novices. There shall be no pub ie exhibitions in this town by professional ugilists, except of so mild a sort that the lw is not violated thereby. Any semblance f fights, no matter if the gloves are as big spillows, shall be prevented. But sparring )r exercise is quite another thing. I see no ood reason for the discontinuance of spar lng by boys and young men in reputable Ymnasiums, in their homes, or anywhere lat it is not surrounded by vicious persons. Iur incest girls dance in their parents par DTS and at approved balls, but that does not nply desire on their part to go to disrepu- lble dance halls for tke diversion The same lould be true of boxing by the boys No, O: don't forbid the boxing gloves. Encour- ge all manly and becoming sports, and only .op them within the borders of propriety." Boston Herald.

His Self Raising Noso.

heard funny story recently of an actor some time ago, who was playing in farce, in which it was necessary for him to use a large dough nose. One night when he got to the theatre he found no four, and sent the boy out for some. Back came the boy, the nose was made and whipped on. Presently, to the horror of the actor, tho nose began to swell, till at length, in the midst of an i'm portant passage, it burst ard fell to the ground. It had been made of self raising
 flour, and the heat of the actors face had ac- complished the tastrophe.-Newport Post.
