Alton arose quickly, threw his glove in Vane,s face and left the club.
 Wednesday-Th are various ways of quarreling. Some are vulgar. A few are honorable. A gentleman al- ways quarrels when he must, but there is such thing as an etiquette of quar- reling. There are very few coteries of men who do not have a quarrel be- tween individuals now and then. It is important to know how to behave in such affairs.
 The immediate friends of the parties should first strive to effect a recon ciliation. This is difficult matter. It is unprincipled to try to be neutral in quarrel between two of your friends. Sympathy is the sweetest office of friendship, but one cannot sympathize equally with both sides without being a hypocrite. know there are men who fear to get into trouble by mixing themselves in such

Among the numerous guests at Schaff- hausen hotel this summer were two re-
 marliably intelligent and well-behaved
 iads about 12 and l3 years old, with
 their tutor, who seemed delighted with
 the grandeur of the waterfalls and the beauties of the surrounding country. On the morning of their departure for Constanz tue cider of the two bows i asked his tutor whether he might be
 permitted to himself give the usual gratuity to the niee-looking young woman who, i'll her picturesque nation-
 nl costume, had waited upon them, and
 the request was granted. The young
 waitress thanked him very politely, and
 told him, with a shake of her pretty
 head, that she could not accept it. But the lad was not to be beaten so easily;
 he took his younger brother quickly on one side, and after a consultation they went out to a small bazar in the park.
 and few minutes later the cider broth CT called for the waitress and handed
 her beautiful gold brooch, saying:
 'This is not money, and you must take it from me-" The young daughter of
 the house, for such she was, gratefully
 accepted the present, and some day.

 His name was spartycus," replied the boy, with sigh, as he closed his book.

STARS AND MOLECULES.
How m Astronomer Has to Estimate and
 Measure.

How m Astronomer Has to Estimate and
 Measure.
 In astronomy we have to do with the greatest things in nature. The sun is 90. o0o, GOO of miles distant from the earth and of bulk 1,333. 333 times as great The planet Neptune is thirty times as far away as the sun. The nearest to us, so far as we know, of all the stars Ia Centauri) is well nigh 10,- 090 times as distant as the planet Nep- tune, while beyond it are hundreds of millions of stars farther and yet farther off. Some that can be just de- tected are probably 10, 900 times as re- mote as Centauri, or in other words 5000, ,0O0 900 times as far away as the earth is from the sun.
 But the light that comes across those distances and reveals those far-away orbs reaches us through movements and vibrations due to molecules far smaller than any microscope can TO- veal. That light shakes the minute molecules of a photographic plate placed in the focus of telescope and leaves behind the record of its knocks It vibrates in the bright lines of solar and stellar spectra. In no less won- derful way molecule tnoclzs-most mi mute, but most umerous-transmlt and retain the heat of the sun and of the stars. But, it may be asked, what are molecules and atoms? Can we af- firm their existence? Can we measure their size or detect their action? Can we count them or determine the hume bsr and energy of their knocks if they are so minuteo
 An atom literally means that which can not be cut According to the atomic theory of the constitution of matter. all bodies are supposed to be made up of atoms. An atom, there fore, represents the smallest possible quantity of any elementary body, a quantity incapable of subdivision--if, indeed, such q conception of indivis- ibility is possible.
 A molecule literally means a little mass, and is considered to be an aggre- gation of certain number of atoms, in general, of atoms of different ele- ments. but in some cases, it may be, of atoms of a like kind. Molecules are held to form the ultimate constituent particles of a compound body.
 The molecules of such a body can not be divided if it is to retain it's na- ture as compound. They will, how ever, be resolved into constituent atoms if the compound body be resolved by some process or other into it's constitu- ent elements. So long, for instance, as water is water its molecules each consist of two atoms of hydrogen joined to one of oxygen. But If vol ume of water be resolved by heat or electricity into two separate volumes of oxygen and hydrogen each mole- cule of the water is thereby resolved into its constituent atoms. All the atoms of oxygen go togeti,er to make up the total volume of oxygen and all those of hydrogen to form the total volume of hydrogen obtained from the given volume of water. So also in oth- CT similar cases. s.-Nineteenth Century.

How to Care for Cut Glass.

Cut glass, if not properly cared for, soon loses it's polish and becomes so scratched and dull as to look little bet tel. than the imitation. It tshould never be left to the care ofuntrained servants. but washed by the mistress herself. Use the studs of hot water with a littls pearline, and wash with a dishelota made of two thicknesses of soft cheese cloth quilted. A soft brush should be used for the cuts and interstices, then rinse in clear, hot water, and when al- most dry polish with a soft linen cloth. Eternal vigilance is the price of spark ling glass as well as of iiberty.-Chjca- go Tribune.

PHOTOGRAPHY DISPLACED.
The Bicycle Has Replaced the Camera as
 Amusement.

The Bicycle Has Replaced the Camera az
 an Amusement.
 Have you noticed the falling off in the photographing fad?" asked the man who is always asking questions which he wants to answer himself. 'sThere is certainly a great change , he continued, and the complaints against camera fiends are few and far between nowadays. It is only about a year since people were likely to be shot and taken at almost any time or place, and life on the seashore and in the various watering places was made a burden by the artists, who wanted to experiment. on you, your house or your horse. They have melted away before the all-absorbing bicycle.
 sYes, the bicycle has played great pranks with the amateur photographic business The man who couple of years ago had spare time and a little money, and enough sense to know that hobby was a healthy thing, bought 8 camera. He became lazy at times and did not develop his pictures, but hired 1t done, and hundreds of people made living by finishing the work of the amateurs and by furnishing supplies. Nowadays the man with time to spare buys wheel and that's why there has been falling off in the photograph ing fad, and why a lot of mechanics who know all about repairing cameras, developing and mounting pictures, and who are we'll versed in all the myster- ies of the dark room, are now making living oy repairing bicycles.
 "Yes. that is plausible enough" said listener. "It is only change in the style of amusement, but that the bi- cycle should have made an impression on the diamond market is more re- markable. But such is the case, if the word of diamond dealer who spoke on the subject recently may be taken. You would be surprised he said, to know how many wheels are bought nowadays as presents, where nothing short of q diamond would answer some time ago. It has not come to the en- gagement wheel yet, but if things keep on We shall hear of that next. People talk aoout the diamond trusts and diamond combines. the thing that hurts the diamond business is the bi- cycle. '"-N. Y. Tribune

That sounds very much like an ul- ,imatum,'' Hawkins said. I bowed haughtily. Unfortunately, wore no frock coat, but was able to 10 justice to the dignity of the occa- sion.
 ''It might be-" my companion pro- ,eeded, .'thatwe would offer an apology )n our side in case we received one for the slight put upon us"
 This was just where l wanted to bring Hawkins, and we discussed the situation from that point of view very amicably. At the conclusion of our conversation Irang the bell and ordered absinthe. We slipped together very formally, and talked abo1t the weather.
 T bid you good day, sir," said flaw kins, at last.
 "1 bid you good day, sir," responded. with the same formality.
 We did not, of course, shake hands. Under no circumstances should gen. tlemen shake hands when they meet on business of this sort. It is a serious breach of propriety, because they are nominally enemies.
 Triday-I have Alton's apology in my pocket. It is written on note paper ill Alton's own hand and is inclosed in aa unsealed envelope, subscribed: For Mr Va le." Observe, it is not Mir. Julian Xane, 4ddressed,' for then it would mean tLnt an informal note was inside. give the note here for the benefit of men who may be in similar position themselves some day:
 Mir Percy Alton regrets that any conduct of his should be construed as an insult to Mr. Vane, and disclaims any intention of that nature. MT. Per- ey Alton further offers his apologies to Mir Vane, and retracts any imputation upon the honor of Afr. Vane occasioned by anything that has transplred be- tween them"
 This you will see, is little ambigu- ous, for the purpose of affording loop hole The person who apologies writes } his name in full. The last name of the person apologized to is all that should be given.
 Friday ight-Hawl1ins called this afternoon.
 ''Mr. Nane has consented to make the apology upon the terms mentioned be- tween us,' he said.
 Good" replied. "I will accept it on l behalf of MT. Alton"
 Hut l must have Mir. Altons apolo- gy,' said Hawkins.
 Pardon me- said L "Mr. Vane's of fense was given first. When you hand rae his written apology and l have founa it satisfactory 1 will immediately hand you that of Mr. Alton
 Should Mir. Vane,s apology not sat. isfy you,' said Hawkins, you will, of course, restore it at once?"
 Certainly"
 He handed me written note which contained these words:
 "Mr. Julian Yane regrets that he has given cause of offense to Mr. Alton. He begs Mir. Alton's acceptance of his apol- ogies."
 at once handed over our apology. Hawkins accepted it on behalf of his friend. I accepted Yane's on behalf If roy friend. We both slipped absinthe as 1 before, and this time when we parted 1 we shook hands cordially.

How the Gentleman 0uarrels - An Un' pleasant Incident at the Giub--A Slap in the Face and What
 Came of It.
COPYRIGHT. 1895.

Monday-A lot of college boys at large in great city; we all know what they do. Why do they expend so much energy? The yelling, the carousing, the running, the carrying on, involve an expediture of immense amounts of vitality, of nervous force to attain m amazingly small return in the form uf enjoyment. Why does such game seem worth the candle to the uniyer- sity lad? Simply because the convic- ton that he is wicked has so soothing nn effect. He thinks that this is life. {" Ill reality there is nothing wicked in the college boys reyelry. He may be a nuisance, but he is not wicked. Of course, the lad thinks differently. Could he be pedsuaded that his behav- for is not really deyilish, he would be less prone to it.
 I make note of this because the same state of things is revealed in the doings of that odd type, the club man, the brilliant fellow. He, too, is sustained by the conviction that he is wicked. His liaisons, his nights of it," his debts, are to him features in delicious scheme of wickedness. The wicked ness of the thing sustains him. The club man is really a humane, yirtuous, and domestic creature, although it would be an awful shock to his pride to be brought to see it. His wicked ness is about as awful as the college hoy's. His inconsistencies of the fact explains so many ludicrous contradic- tions in his philosophy. He will make such a remark as-"Alton interests me-he is the only brilliant man know who is good"-and imagine he is displaying an acute capacity for ob- servation of men and things. Now
