Mr. Gavnor's handsome eyes

Mr. Gaynor's handsome eyes
flashed In triumph; he was sure OF the
prize at last: Poor, forgotten Kate!
The sudden wedding of the middle
aged Miss Montressor with the chief
exquisite of the season made a nine
days sensation at Scarborough.
Kate Talbot heard of it in due time,
and cried night and day before
she began to realize that she had
made fortunate escape. And Ross
mere came back to Scarborough just
in time to catch her heart in the re
bound:
While Mr.. Wylie and Miss Kate
Talbot were gathering grapes and
whispering exceeding interesting lit
tie nothings under the green, tremu-
lous shadow ofthe arbors at Welding
ton, after the most approved style
of love-making, Mr.. and Mrs. Henry
Geynor were enjoying the grandeur
of Wales.
"Henry, DEAR" said Emily, "1'm
so disappointed at this letter from
Emmy"
w no Emmy.
"My niece, dear. 1 thought, of
course, she'd send me something very
nice for wedding present"
"Never mind, my love. What do
we want with her paltry wedding
'presents?"
ut isn't that Henry, butt
"But what?"
"She's cut off my allowance, the
hard-hearted mink; and she so rich!"
"Whatl Are there two heiresses in
the Montressor family?"
1.-TWO heiresses? No. I do not
comprehend you. What do you
mean, Henry.
"Do T'-Henry cleared his throat
huskily and went on-"understand
that-that your niece
"Why, you must often have heard
of my niece. Emily Montressor-she
was named after me-the rich heir
ess?And now she's cut off my allow
ance and left me without a penny, the
disagreeable thing! Well, it's lucky
I've got husband to take care OF
me now, amt it Henry dear?"
Henry Gaynor did not answer; he
literally could not His tongue
seemed to cleave to the roof of his
mouth; every drop of blood in his
body stood still. Had he sacrificed
his youth and beauty and brilliant
prospects for this? The gentle Emily
had never looked as course and I'm.
attractive as she did at this moment
clinging caressingly to his arm, with
all a wife's sweet confidence.
And then he remembered sweet
Kate Talbot and thought vindictive
ly of Rossmere Wylie.
"He knew-he must have known
that there were two Emily Montress
ors," thought Gaynor, clenching his
teeth. "He saw me walk into the
trap, and never opened his lips tc
warn me. Oh, what fool! what 6
double distilled blockhead I have
been!"
So he had; but unfortunately il
was too latefor this selfappreciatior
to be of any use. He was safely mar
ried to Miss Montressor, but not tc
the Emily And Mr.. Gaynor felt
with bitter pang of humiliation
that his snuglittle piece of diplomacy
had been an utter failure.-N. Y

APhotograpbic Umpire.

The following proposition, according
to the Photographische Archiv, has
been made by professor and teacher
of the Royal Photographic school OF
Vienna. 1t is to apply photography in
deciding races in which the result may
be doubtful. In place of the decision
of the Judge, who may err sometimes,
it is proposed to accept the unfailing
dctum of the camera. For this purpose
six cameras are to be placed in line at
the winning post, few feet apart, and
directed toward the race course, which
may be exposed simultaneously by the
agency of electricity. AS soon as
the leading horse reaches the first
camera all the cameras are exposed.
The plates may be developed in from
two to three minutes, and the result will
Enthusiastically show which horse is the
actual winner.

n has been alleged that John Bunyan
was a plagiarist and that The Pilgrims
Progress is literal translation from the
French of work entitled Ye Pilgrim
age of Ye Sowle, by Guillaume de Guile
vile, a monk of the fifteenth century,
translation OF which was printed by
Caxton, in 1883. 1t Is believed that
COPY of the original French manuscript
is to be found either in the British mu-
scum or the Bodleian, and it might be
worth while to search for it, in order
that the question may be decided: Il
Bunyan's originality had been doubted
while Lord Macaulay was alive he would
very quickly have taken steps to ascer-
tain the truth. Bunysn was undouot-
edly accused of plagiarism by his con,
temporaries, but modern reviewers and
biographers have ignored these charges
His Holy War appears to have been an
ticipated by st. Bernard, the trsnsia-
ton of whose Spiritual Combat is to be
found in book now in the British mu-
scum, entitled 4 Hive Of Sacred Homie
Combes, which was printed at Doway,

A Happy Family.

Ration, N. NJ, letter to the Kansas
City Times says, there was a happy
family living in cage at a drug
store in this city, the members of
which family were a mouse, noun
tain squirrel, an adder, and q rattle
snake which wore ten rattles. They
had been confined in the cage for
sometime andwere apparently on very
amicable terms, when an emeute broke
out which finally ended in a war of
determination, and, strange to say,
the squirrel well-nigh cleared the en-
tire field.
When or why the row began is not
known, the first outbreak noticed
being an attack on the mouse by the
squirrel in which the former was
quickly Drained, and the victor
proceeded to dispatch the adder by
simply cutting his throat. He then
retired to refresh himself, and after
eating heartily bounced on the rat
tlesnake. After fiercely biting and
scratching the RATHER he retired in
good order without any serious in
jury.
Up to this time the snake had been
a passive witness to the carnage
about him but he now proceeded to
join in the melee in earnest. He
coiled him self up and, assuming a
defensive attitude, waited for the
second attack. The squirrel didn't
give him long to wait, but the RATHER
met him half way, and giving a
graceful, half circular sweep, fastened
his fangs Immediately behind the left
shoulder of the squirrel. The plucky
little animal shook himself loose and
made ready to again attack the snake,
which lay in the cage with flashing
eyes and quivering tail. The poison
from the snake rapidly took hold OF
the little animal, however, land he soon
began to show signs of approaching
death.
Among the thirty or forty wit
nesses of the spirited and exciting
fight was physician, who took the
little fellow out and administered
whisky, land strange to say,the next
morning the little fellow was appar-
entity as well as ever.

Palm view of Home.

The following strange story was re.
lated to us by the mate of merchant
vessel, personally known by us to be q
gentleman of the highest character and
reliability and may be of interest to stu
dents of psychology. While his ship
was loading at Calcutta, he accepted the
invitation Of native to visit his home.
The native was peddler of the lowest
class and previously unknown to the
officer. On arriving at the howell of the
Hindu, he introduced his father, an
emaciated old man of great age, but
with piercingly brilliant eyes. After
greeting the young American a few min
utes he commanded him to look into the
palm of his hand. Although at first I'M
willing to comply with the request, he
felt himself constrained to do so. and,
on looking down, saw before him in his
hand perfect vision of room in his
distant New England home, with the
different members of the family seated
around table. Although man of iron
nerves, our friend confessed that it was
some time before he recovered his equa,
nimity We forbear to comment on this
incident, only remarking that it seems
better authenticated than most similar
stories.-Popular Science News.

Vaccination in the Harem.

One hundred and fifty of the ladies
Of the Sultan's seraglio at CONSTANT
nople have just been vaccinated.
The italian surgeon who performed
the operations was stationed on one
side of an immense screen which
concealed the women. A hole was
made in the screen large enough for
an arm to pass through, and the
operator was confronted in turn by
arms of every size and complexion.
To guard against any temptation to
curiosity, two eunuchs who stood by
the surgeon, covered his head with a
shawl fter each operation, and did
not remove it till the lady had with
drawn her arm and another one TAX
en- her place.

Fortune smiled On Him.

Galesvle Qll) Independent, Oct. 81
Galesville was considerably excited
the other day, by report that TWEEN
tieth of ticket number A, 545 which
dreY the third capital prize of $50, 900
in the September drawing of the Louis
lana State Lottery at New Orleans, was
held by party in Galesville. Inquiry
soon elected the fact that the lucky per-
son was Chas. Il. Silk, one of our best
known citizens An Independent re-
porter interviewed Mr.. Silk on Monday
and elected the following facts For
some time he had been investing small
sum each month in tickets, and had sew
eral times drawn small prizes. He had
confidence that if he kept on he would
at last be successful, and the result shows
the correctness of this impression. In
the September drawing he had ten tick
cts, and three of them drew prizes, two
of $50 each, and one of $4,000, one
twentieth of the third capital prize. Mr..
Silk is a poor man, and this great good
fortune will enable him to make many
improvements about his home, and his
good fortune will be shared by all of our
citizens, who rejoice with him in his
good fortune.
The prizes were collected through the
bank of Galesville, and were paid in
full.

SUNBEAM AND l.

We own no houses, no lots, no lands,
No dainty viands for us are spread;
By sweat of our brows and toll of our hands,
We earn the pittance that buys us bread:
Yet we live in a noble state
Sunbeam and THAN the millionaires
Who dine off silver and golden plate,
With iveried laqueys Behind their chairs
We have no riches in bonds or stocks,
No bank books show our balances to draw;
Yet we carry a safe key that unlocks
More treasures than Cresus ever saw,
We wear no velvets or satin fine,
We dress in a very homely way;
But, oh; what luminous lustres shine
About Sunbeam's gown and my wooden
gray:
No harp, no dulcimer, no guitar
Breaks into singing at Sun6eam's touch;
But do not think that our evenings are
Without their music; there is none such
In the concert halls where the lyric air
In palpitant pillows swims and swoons;
Our lives are as psalms and our foreheads
wear
The Gains of the hearts of perfect Junes.
When we walk together 1--WE do not ride
We are too poor), it is very rare
We are bowed unto from the other side
Of the street-but not for this do we care,
We are not lonely; we pass along
Sunbeam and land you cannot see
1--WE CAM what tall and beautiful throng
OF angels we have for company.
When cloudy weather obscures our skies,
And some days darken with drops of rain,
We have but to look in each others eyes,
And all is balmy and bright again.
Ali ours is the alchemy that transmutes
The dregs to elixir, the dross to gold;
And so we live on Hesperian fruits
Sunbeam and land never grow old.
Never grow old, and we dwell in peace,
And love our fellows and envy none;
And our hearts are glad at the large increase,
Of plenteous under the sun.
And the days go by with their thoughtful
tread,
And the shadows lengthen towards the West,
But the wane of our young years brings no
dread
To harm our harvests of quiet rest.
Sunbeam's hair will be streaked with gray,
And Times will furrow my darling's brow;
But never can Times hand take away
The tender halo that clasps it now.
So we dwell in wonderful opulence,
With nothing to hurt us nor upbraid;
And my life trembles with reverence
And Sunbeam's spirit is not afraid,

stepped into his tailor's on Piccadilly
to order one himself. When he gave
