A Dutch Talk.

She was massively built of vanished
oak, with bows so bluff as to be almost
square, a straight sided box, made, like
all Dutch craft, to slide over the water
rather than through it, and with i'm
mense wing like lee boards on each side
to let down and supply the place of a
keel when going to windward. A tall
mast bore a lofty narrow headed main
sail with a short curved gait, and a fore
staysail from the bow. The great rudder
bore along its upper edge a grotesquely
carved and gayly painted lion c%ouchant,
the most common of all the rudder decor
atoms and of as much importance as the
familiar iigurehead in seagoing ships.
Hull and spars were brightly vanished,
with castings of polished brass, and rings
and scrolls of red and blue paint wher-
ever there was room. The slaves of the
water barrels were green and white, and
marvellous landscapes were painted on
the ends. There was a neat raised cabin
at the stern, gayly ornamented in green
and yellow, with little white curtained
flower dccked windows, through which
one caught glimpses of a spotless dolls
house interior, with shining pots and
pans and quaint shapes Of blue and brown
earthen vessels. OF course all the items
of household life-cooking, washing, the
baby's toilet, and so on-were performed
in the most open and unconcerned man.

The Elevator In European Hotels.

The Gift" is net displayed ostentatious-
ly in the great German houses. 1t is be-
hind iron doors, to be detected only by
inspection, and is moved by clanking
chains. The deliberation of the proceed
ing is its most distinguishing character
istic. You stand in the great hall of the
hotel where reconnaissance has located
the laboring Gift" and silently await de-
velopments. Everybody else has the
greatest plenty of time. Presently from
the unknown interior iron doors fly open,
and a soldierly looking servant with
brass buttons on his cap, p~reoccupied
with his responsibilities, steps forth with
an air of majesty. The doors clang as
they swing, and the lift is there, rather
primitive but elaborate in construction.
Perhaps there may be five passengers
ready to get aboard. When four have
taken position the master of the elevator
waves the fifth backward with an awful
air of authority, and if the rejected one
is an American urgent to go up at once,
he is told peremptoriIy that there are
places ''only for four" The iron doors
are banged, the engines heave and the
massive machine moves. Safety is con-
suited! Here is a mastery mechanism
that might swing a pair of elephants of
the size of Jumbo, but an attempt to lift
at once more than four persons would be
regarded as an affront to the empire.
The things impossible! The French
have the same levating methods. There
is usually an iron gate as well as an iron
door to the ascenseur in France, and in
some of the first class establishments
they will risk taking up as many as five
passengers at q time. The chains that
are rugged for the security of this multi
tude of irresponsible things are of links
of wrought iron two inches in diameter.

Ape and Looking. Glass.

A looking glass is a mystery, an OBJ
iect of intense interest to many animals,
and it is often very amusing to watch
their maneuve Professor C. Robert
son describes the behavior of a large ape
in the Jardin dies Plantes. =,
He was in an iron cage lording it over
some smaller monkeys. Ferns and other
things had been thrown between the
bars, which, the ape attempted to seize.
At length a small hand looking glass,
with a strong wooden frame, wast thrown
in. The ape got hold of it and began to
brandish it like a hammer, when sud-
denly he was arrested by the reflection
of himself in the glass.
After looking puzzled for a moment,
he darted his head behind the glass to
find the other ape, which he evidently
supposed to be there. Finding nothing,
he apparently thought that he had not
been quick enough in his movements.
So he raised and drew the glass nearer
to him with great caution, and then.
with a swifter dart, looked behind; and
again finding nothing, he made the at
tempt once more.
He nov grew very angry, and began
to beat the frame violently on the floor
of his cage. Soon the glass was shat
tered, and pieces fell out. Again he was
arrested by his own image in the piece
of glass still remaining in the frame, and
he resolved to try again. More carefully
than ever he began, and rapidly

His fury owe this last failure knew
no bounds, and he crunched the frame
and glass together with his teeth till
nothing but spIinters remained.-Youth's

Bernhardt's Late Husband.

He was known in European theatrical
circles as Daria, and, it is said, claimed
to be a count. AS he was born in Greece,
where there are no titles except official
ones, and in the royal family, he had no
birthright to one. He has often been re-
ferred to as a diplomat. His diplomatic
experience was not very extensive. He
was once connected with the Greek CON
sulate for a few days through an acct
dent. His real vocation was that of a
commercial traveller. The elder Damala
was a trader in raw silk, having a house
in Syria, and the son is said to have been
unusually successful in disposing of the
fathers wares. 1t is even said that he
had no right to hishigh sounding name
that he assumed "Aristides' for his
own satisfaction, and that he was chris
tened as only ~"Jacques."
Damala was fond of gambling, and q
swarm of creditors is believed to have
hurried his marriage and to have fol-
lowed him u~nrelentingly until he left for
Barcelona. He was once mixed up in n
gambling case with Lambri Pasha, but
his friends say that he was never a black
leg. AT the time of his marriage with
Bernhardt nobody seemed to know
whether his first wife was dead or not.
Burning the time he played with Bern
hardt he did all he could, it is said, to
excite her jealousy. When she was on
the stage and he was in the wings he
used to firt abominably with Mile. Lima
Maute. This was in Italy, where Bern
hardt had frequent fainting fits on the
stage.-Exchange.

How the Joy of Fond Parents Is Exhibited

The reporter found him leaning over
the desk at the telegraph office. There
was nothing about him that would have
attracted attention. except perhaps a
strange troubled look in his eyes and the
reckless way he was destroying Mr..
Gould's telegraph blanks. He would
take up q sheet, dash off a line or two,
hold it at arms length, slowly shake his
head and her crumple the dispatch in
his hand and try it all over again. On
the sixth round a glad smile told that he
had written the thing to his satisfaction,
and the next moment he approached the
night clerk and timidly asked the charges
to Kalamazoo.
A wan smile crept over the erstwhile
calm and prosaic face of the clerk as the
customer took his change and hastily slid
out the side door.
AS the reporter approached the smile
deepened.

Disease of the Heart,

In diseases of the heart which persist
for a long time and finally end, as a very
large proportion of them do, in slow de-
cline and a lingering death, dropsy al
ways sets in. In the late stages it is a
most intractable symptom, and adds
greatly TO the suffering experienced. In
the treatment, physicians have been
wont to depend largely upon a diet OF
milk, which, in cases where it is well
borne and can be persisted in, always acts
well. But there are many patients who,
for various reasons, cannot be kept on a
milk diet for any length of time. 10
some it becomes abhorrent after a while,
and others really cannot digest it prop
erly, as simple food as it is. And besides
that, a milk diet is really unsuited to no
small proportion of patients affected with
cardiac diseases. We have reference to
those who cannot be kept quiet, but in
sist upon being up and about, often In
the open air, if not engaged in light
duties.
Professor German See, of Paris, has
long been engaged in study to learn
what elements in milk render it such al
admirable agent to stimulate the kid
news, increase the flow therefrom and
hence prove of such great service In
dropsies. As Il result of his investiga-
ton he is convinced that the one i'm
portant element is sugar of milk. Acting
upon that theory he selected twenty-five
patients with heart disease, in all OF
which there was more or less dropsy.
To each he gave 100 grammes of the
sugar of milk a day, dissolved in two
quarts of water. In all these cases a
marked effect upon the kidneys was felt
within from twenty-four to forty-five
hours, and the dropsies diminished rap
idly, and almost all such swellings dis
appeared altogether after a series OF
treatments lasting from six to eight
days. This discovery is likely to prove
one of the most important which has
been made in the medical world for
years.-Boston Herald.

On Their Heads.

In France, when a patient is under
chloroform, on the slightest symptom
appearing of failure of the heart, they
urn him nearly upside down. that
is, with his head downward and his
heels in the air. This, they say, always
restores him; and such is their faith in
the efficacy of this method, that the op-
Grating tables in the Paris hospitals are
made so that in an instant they can be
elevated with n end in the air, SO as
to bring the patient into a position re-
sembling that of standing on his head

A Smile That Paid We'll.

There died in Vienna, less than year ago, says George Makepeace Towle in Harper's Young People, quiet, elderly gentleman, retired from business with 8 comfortable competency, who left the whole of his fortune to person whom he had seen every day for years, and yet to whom he had never spoken. This was 8 young lady who lived directly opposite his own lodgings. Of this young lady the old gentleman knew nothing whatever except her name, and the grateful fact that for several years, as he had passed to and fro, she had greeted his coming and going with a pleasant, and friendly smile. He was very lonely in his elderly bachelorhood, and the daily smile cheered and made him grateful. No tie, indeed, seems to have bound him to any human being except to the fair damsel who thus silently heightened his solitary life. Never, perhaps, did smile, bestowed in simple maidenly kindness, reap a more startling, solid reward.
