vain to have told Lola. We left the
Kid there, leaning against the wall,
her unfathomable eyeslooking around
her in sullen curiosity.
In the morning the room was found
empty, the bed untouched, the floor
covered with shreds of the clothing
Miss Lascelles had laid out for Lola's
use, and which, undoubtedly, the
little savage had torn up.
Poorlittle Lola! She and Ihad ALWAYS
been the best of friends, except when
a question of cooking or washing oc-
CURED to trouble us. She would Weld
to my persuasion when nothing else
would bend her stubborn spirit. She
feared my silent reproach more than
the scathingsarcasm Van Hoeck treat
ed her with, or the heavy nand of her
father. She respected no one but me,
probably because ! alone respected
her feelings.
Had foreseen that night the course
she WAS about to take, l might, with
a little patient persuasion, have
brought her to reason. My spirit is
weighed down with regret when l
think how perhaps a dozen words
from me at that time would have
turned aside the fearful consequence
OF that act, an act so slight, yet fol-
lowed by terror upon terror, by crime

"AUTOGRAPHIC PLAQUES"
The Device That Is Absorbing the
Young Women Just Now.

The girls have a new fad now. 1t is
called the photographic plaque" Like
all fads it has swept the homes OF the
young women like wildfire, andhas oc-
casioned no end OF sharp comment by
members OF the sterner sex who have
been mulcted OF dimes.
The photographic plaque" is an in
genious device OF q china firing con-
Germ, and its purpose is financial gain
for this establishment. Pieces OF card
board, 1Ox1O inches in size, are dis
tributed where they are likely to meet
a favorable reception. These pieces
OF card contain a circle in the center
a reserved space large enough for a re-
produced photograph. From the cir
cumference Of this circle extend lines
ito a larger circle, like spokes in
wheel from the hub to the tire. The
spaces between these lines are for au-
tographs.
There are fifteen such spaces, and it
has been declared the proper thing for
girl to get the autographs OF fifty
OF her male friends written within.
An unwritten law in this fad DEGREES
GiiaC etCli WRITER muSC pro-
duce a dime with his signature. When
all the spaces are full and each name
paid for the girl has SIS, and this SIS,
if sent to a certain place with thecard
and the photograph OF the owner will
secure a china plaque with the picture
and autographs reproduced and fired.
1t is a great scheme for the girls who
have little or nothing to do, and the
signatures are greatly in demand.

Use of the Queue.

An officer swallowed fish bone. It
was n large one, and after struggling
to draw it out the officer fell back
IN his chair turned black in
the face, and appeared to
be in great danger, and indeed
was so. Every one looked aghast,
not knowing what to do. The doctor
alone preserved his presence of mind.
From the opposite side OF the table
he saw what had happened. Not a
moment must be lost. Springing
across the table, with n hand ne
opened the mouth OF the unfortunate
officer, with the other he seized his
queue and rammedit down his throat.
Away went fish bone and every other
obstruction. The young officer fin
ished his dinner, having practically
experienced the use of a queue.-lDun.

Look carefully under her abdomen
and near the tip you will see six little
nipples, inside her body, there are
special glands in which a kind of gum
is secreted, and this dries when it
comes into the air. This gum forms
a silken thread, from which the spider
builds her web. henipples which are
called "spinnerets," have not merely
one opening, but are pierced with at
least a hundred holes, and when the
spider begins her web more than 600
separate strands go to make up q sim
gle thread.
According to computation, based
upon the fact that u fiber only one
four-thousandth part of an inch in
diameter will sustain fifty-four grains,
a bar of SPIDERS silk All inch in diane
ter would support n weight ofseventy-
four tons. In other words, according
to the Kansas Farmer, SPIDERS silk
has nearly three times the supporting

Kassim Pacha, when Minister OF
War for Egypt, was very particular
in regard to the personal appearance
OF his officers and issued stringent
orders that they should never appear
unshaven in public. One day he
met upon the street q Lieutenant
who had bearded the Pacha and dis
regarded his orders. ITO what resi-
ment do you be!ong?" demanded the
indignant Minister. ITO the--regi-
ment at Abasseuh," replied the
frightened Lieutenant. "Gst into my

command which followed. The young
man obeyed, and the twain rode
along gloomily enough for some time,
when the Pacha stopped his carriage
and entered an office where he would
be detained for some time on bust
ness. Selling the opportunity the
culprit sprang from the vehicle, dart
ed into Il n%eighboring BARRIERS stall,
and regained his post before the re-
turn of his taller, minus his beard.
For the remainder OF the route the
officer buried his face in his hands
and seemed the picture OF apprehen-
sion. Abasseuh was reached at last
and all the officers were assembled to
witness the degradation OF their COM
rade, who all the while kept well in

you son OF q dog" cried the irrate
Pacha. when there stepped before him
an officer with a face as clean as u

look of blank astonishment, and

(To BE C%oNTINUED)
HIS EARS WERE CUT OFF.

Intellectual Herolsm Of Boy Before
Eloodthirsty Spanish General.
An instance OF heroism, and OF the
most atrocious acts OF cruelty, the
truth OF which is vouched for by the
most respectable authority, occurred
during the Columbia struggle for in
dependence.
The Spanish General Morillo, the
most bloodthirsty and treacherous
tool of the Spanish king, was created
Count OF Carthagenia and Marquis de
la Pueria for services which rather en-
title him to the butcher or hangman.
While seated in his tent one day he
saw a young boy before him drowned
i'll tears. The chief demanded of him
for what purpose he was there.
The child replied that he had come
to beg the life of his father, then q
prisoner i'll Morillo's camp.
"What can you do to save your
father?" asked the general.
81 can do but little, but what 1 can
shall be done"
Morillo seized the little fellow'se ears,
and said:
"Would you suffer your ear to be
taken Off to procure your fathers
life?"
~ certainly would" was the un-
daunted reply.
A soldier vas accordingly called, and
ordered to cut off the ear with q single
stroke of the knife.
The boy wept, but did not resist
while the barbarous order was exc
cuted.
"Would you lose your other ear
rather than fail OF your purpose?"
was the next question.
81 have suffered much, but for my
father | col suffer more STILL" was the
answer of the boy.
The other ear was taken off piece
meal, without flinching on the part of
the noble boy.
"And now go!" exclaimed Morillo,
untouched by his sublime courage.
''Ihe father of such q son must die"
In the presence of his agonized and
vainly suffering son the father was
executed.-New York Ledger.

Salutlng a Thunderboit.


1t is customaryin thetown o. Quito,
when a visitor takes off his hat upon
entering a room, to beg him to put it
on again; and, in the absence Of per-
mission, leave is generally requested.
This, it is said, arises from %apprehen-
sion that cold will be taken by re-
manning uncovered. The same per-
sons upon going out OF doors'take off
their hats to flashes of lightning, no
matter whether rain is falling; and,
when the streets are busy and light
ming is abundant, n grotesque effect is
produced by these salutations, which
seem to be regarded as a duty by we'll
behaved persons, and are performed
as punctiliously as the homage which
is paid to religious professions.

The following is "the law" on the
authority OF Stephens Commentaries,
Sir William Blackstone and Joshua
Williams:
at is arule in lawthat no one is the
heir OF a living person memo est
heres viventis). The heir it calledinto
existence by the death of his ancestor;
for no nan in his lifetime can have an
heir.
"The heir apparent is the person
who, if he survive the ancestor, must
certainly be his heir, as the eldest son
in the lifetime of his father.
"The heir presumptive is the person
who would be the heir in case of the
ancestors immediate decease. Thus,
an only daughter, there being no sons,

THE GREAT RESPER.
OF A BIG DIAMOND.
How an Immense Gem Was Lost,
Recovered, and Lost Again.
CHAPTER III.

When Van Hoeck recovered, and
the baronet heard OF our long fast, he
took us at once into the dining-room,
and had us served with the best he
could give. 1t was Il repast to rec
ompense us for our Ion. privations,
and fora time we furnished wretches
pleasure of satisfying the craving OF
hunger. Sir Edmund sat ut the table
withus, directingthe servants, who sure
iy hadnever before waited upon such
strange company. One could seethat
it was Il real delight to this large
hearted man to see us eat and drink.
Miss Lasceiles herself waited upon
Van Hoeck, attending to his wants
with feminine delicacy, his atilictioE
appealed to her woman's sympathy.
She was Il tall and graceful girl, with
her fathers fair, complexion, bright,
mirthiul eyes, that added to
the happy expression OF her face, and
beautiful soft brown hair that took
golden lights and chestnut shadows in
its undulation. She looked you i'll the
face with IL iearlessness only
possible to those who are perfectly
healthy and perfectly honest. To the
charm OF physical beauty was added
a faultiess manner,-the completeself
command and uniailing grace insepa-
rable from II lady OF birth and
education. She MAS as courteous to
us, who must have seemed the verlest
outcaSts OF society, is though we We're
her equal. y true lady can M be
unoracious.
Her presence had an indescribable
effect upon my senses.-the effect OF
fine music after discord. ! was CON-
scious OF n return from savagery to
civilization. But it was not until my
gross appetite was satisfied that ! be-
came susceptible to this new delight.
The Baromet spoke not one word
about the diamond during dinner, but
when it WAS all over he said:
Well. now, We will 90 back to the
library; and yoiy shall come with us
Edith, ii our cigars will not be dis
agreeable to you, for we have q
marvellous matter to talk about"
In the library Miss lascellas seat
ed herself beside her father, while we
three men sat facing them on the
other side OF Il small round table, on
which | placed the diamond. At q
little distance from there was a lion
skin on the floor, and on this the
Kid threw herself; as she lay there
looking toward us, with her chin
resting in the palms OF her hands and
her elbows planted liz the
fur, we saw scarcely anything OF
her but her great LUIS
trous eyes, because OF the shadow
thrown by the lamp shade.
"Now, let lis understand the posi-
ton OF things to begin With" said Sir
Edmund, taking IL cigar, afterhanding
the box to us.

A Beautiful Leather Now Obtained
From the Porker's Back.
"Hogskin leather" says Hide and
Leather, "is becoming fashionable for
wall paper in the homes of the rich.
This may seem odd, but it is true
nevertheless. Few people know what
beautiful leather may be manufacture
ed under skillful management from the
skin of a hog, which closely resembles
human skin. Mr.. P. H. Martin, of
CINCINNATI, an authority or h~ogskins,
said: 'Hogskins are shaved down and
turned into a soft, velvety leather,
which is embossed or stamped artis-
tically, and owingto itspeculiargrain,
q very pleasing and rich effect is pro-
duced. The skins are tanned in
bark liquors i'll about six weeks. They
are considerably used for saddle seats,
horse collars and other harness leath-
ers. Some OF the skins we obtain are
immense. l remember one that
weighed 1873 pounds. and measured
g 1-2 feet from head to tail. Another
was l40 pounds, and contained II
square feet of leather when finished.
Here is a piece of l Ia inches thick.
1t is a decided curiosity. As regards
prices, we get SIP a dozen skins for
hog-skin collar leather, and $50 to
$50 a dozen for seating"
