Monsieur Alphonse Thevinet was sitting
with his arms upon one of the small iron
tables under the awning outside the Cafe
Victor on the Cours Boiledieu. A glass of
cold coffee stood before him, which he stirred
now and again with an distracted air. The
buzz of conversation, the excited exclama-
tions of piquet players, and the rattle of
dominoes rose all round him; walters in
long white aprons fitted to and fro, laden
with cups and glasses, serving the numerous
customers who made the Victor their nightly
rendezvous. 1t was 8 o'clock on a warm
July evening, and the company at the cafe
was large, but NJ. Alphonse Thevinet,
sitting alone buried in his thoughts, saw
and heard nothing. For NJ. Alphonse was
in love! Yes, in love. He had become
deeply epris with Mademoiselle Adrienne
Mesnildot, daughter of the rich advocate,
NJ. Jules Mesnildot, and the belle of Rouen.
How he had succeeded in falling in love
with her is question too subtle for US to
deal with. He had never waltzed with
Mademoiselle Adrienne; had never sat out
dances with her in twilight bowers; had
never even taken her down to dinner or
played tennis with her. The last was indeed
an impossibility, for lawn tennis was a
closed book to M. Alphonse- He had that

CALLING OUT THE BLOODHOUNDS.
White Murderers in South Carolina to be
Hunted by Dogs.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE pIsPArCH.I
COLUMBIA, S, c., March 14-Some days
ago the Governor received private Informs
tion that Murrell and Carpenter, the two
young white men. who were condemned to
death last fall for the murder of young
Yonce, in Edgefeld county, and who es-
capped from Jail just before the time set for
their hanging, under circumstances that
pointed to the completely of the
county officials were still in the
county of Edgefeld, hiding in swamps
and burning property of those promi-
nent in their prosecution. All the parties,
murderers and murdered, were young white
men. A large reward was offered for the
capture of Murrell and Carpenter. Gov
ernor Richardson encouraged patriotic citi-
zens of the county to hunt them down.
A telegram was received tonight by the
Governor from the intendant of Johnston
saying that the murderers were surrounded
in swamp and asking that bloodhounds be
sent to locate them. There are no hounds
here, and the Sheriff of Greenville, who
has the best dogs for tracking men
in this part of the country has been tele-
graphed to take his dogs to Edgefeld by the
first train in the morning. The escaped
murderers are heavily armed, and will of
course sell their lives as dearly as possible.
They will probably not be captured alive.
Murrell is only 10 years old and Carpenter
20 years old.

Let US turn our attention to some of the
artistic creations of the household. those
things which beautify and help to make
"home attractive" Here are screens which
brighten up four different sections. The
rustic screen has four panels of moss painted
centers, and stands in the entrance 10 the
parlor, another sets at the opening to the
dining room, and the remaining two OF
silk are in the guest chamber and the large
room adjoining.
Then there are the white colonial he'd
steads, lined or striped with gold so rich
wholesome and decorative. The rest OF the
furniture upstairs comes under the head of
art objects, the creton upholstery, fresh and
inviting alike to the eye and body, the oval
mirror scarls, dresser candlesticks, laces
etc, all combine to please those who are in
the least aesthetic.
There are several bits of bric-a-brac in the
parlor, jars, plaster and Lamoge objects here
or there, two of Harlow's water colors. an
etching, four photo frames and
marine oil picture; these coupled with

1t is the most imposing-looking house of
the series for the amount to be expended,
and in every way its finish is not in the least
behind more expensive construction. So
well has the architect drawn the exterior
that there seems little need in describing it.
The colors used on the shingles will be- on
the roof brick red; the sides an earth stain
trimmed with iaded yellow ochre.
The perspective shows some pretty panels
and spiral work, very effective and decorative
adornments which fit in at the right places
and help to carry the scheme OF balancing
lines. The easements are full and wide;
:hese also help the breadth and take off any
i'll effect of angles. Clapboards figure in the
upper portions and on the L. while a section
or so is to be utilized by the introduction of a
little plastic work. The plan as viewed
illustrates perfectly the possibility OF making
house artistic at moderate price.
In the interior view one gains a compre-
hensive idea TO the library or sitting room.

WHEN Is A DOG NOT A DOG /?
A Burning Question TO Owners of Puppies
The Assessor Draws No Line-A Deg fst
Any Age Must be Taxed-No DISTINCT on


~ The Assessor Draws No Line--A Deg n.
Any Age Must be Taxed-No Distinct on
for Age. ~
"Dogp' is often a term of reproach, and
there is no other animal that is so widely
estimated as the dog. While by the
average Oriental he is despised and is a
synonym for uncleanness as we'll as de-
pravity, he is on the other hand petted and
fondled by lords and ladies of high degree
in this and other countries sometimes to the
disgust of some people who feel contempt
for a woman who picks her pug or poodle
up and carries him over muddy street
crossings. And where is there small boy
who will not comfort himself with the
possession OF the mangiest cur on the street
if he cannot have one of high degree?
But it has occurred to the County Com
missioners to regard dog as dog, no mat
ter what his age, and there is no statute or
standard of public opinion to decide the
matter The question has arisen on the pro-
test of a breeder of dogs, who claimed that
puppies were not dogs. He was blessed
with the possession OF dozen or two of
them when the Assessor made his visit. and
, the tax of 90 cents on males and 81 on
The Assessor persisted in regarding puppies
as dogs, no matter whether their ewes were
opened or not, and the County Commis-
soners have ratified his decision, and the
owner has no resource but to submit or carry
the case into court.
There should be some boundary line es-
tablished. Should a puppy be considered
dog when his eyes are opened or when he
sheds his first set of teeth, or at the time
when he loses his playful disposition and
settles down to the sober duties of doghood?
1t is we'll known to all who have had the
education and maintenance of a young
Newfoundland or St. Bernard during the
first year of his existence that he is not only
useless. but more costly to maintain than
colt of the same age, and yet no Assessor
would think OF listing a young colt at the
same value that he does mature and
serviceable horse of the same breed.
In this connection many people have
suggested from time to time that there
should be more clearly marked distinction
between youth and manhood than at pres
ent. There is no more miserable period of
existence than that when a boy is in the
transition state. He may be larger and
have more sense than his father, and yet he
is only boy. His voice is a cross between
the roar of an electric car and buzz-saw
No tailor can fit him, and he is neither
man nor boy for several years before he is
q years of age, and then he is man no
matter whether he be fit for the duties of
manhood or not. The toga virilis must then
be donned. and the boy of the day before is
at once vested with an awful responsibility,
and must pay taxes, and in some States
work on the roads two days in a year, and
can march up to a bar and get as drunk as
his father. Some think an intelligence
standard should govern, and boys graduate
into men when they are able to pass an ex-

of the mystery of color and form.
The practical man may suggest that it
would be well to look at the coal bins. heat

method and solidity of construction before
making an inventory of the household goods.
but to such, it is well to state that the car

usually not paid for their work until the

arrangement as the chimney sets at
the right angle and makes it pos
sible to group the rooms with
telling effect. The library faces the parlor
and the dining room, very nearly, and its
effects can be studied while in either room.
This idea of making the lower floor open
gives a largeness of feeling to the mind and
a freedom to the thought and eyes, as well
as airiness. The fire place is of the Moorish
character, though the lower portions break
the idea of imitation.
The construction about the mattel is
quite simple, though the architect takes
advantage of the new process of relief
decoration and makes some fine effects at

"Many forms of bacteria resemble each
other, and that resemblance, in some in
stances, becomes so striking as to lead
astray the mind of one that is not careful.
The minute vegetable growths are nearly as
colorless as the water ITSELF If they are
living they would be found to constantly
appear and disappear in the field of vison.
Having thus before you the pursuit of dis
ease germs so small that it requires the
highest powers of the microscope to reveal
them, you will find new difficulties perpetu-
ally arise to prevent you from identifying
them. One of those, and the main one, is
to have the light properly adjusted, so as to
bring out the strongest powers of your
lens. This is task alone that requires
great patience and proper knowledge of
the laws of light.
Having now an instrument of the most
perfect design and magnifying lenses of the
highest degree of excellence attached, your
light properly adjusted and the suspected
