formal letter from the Secretary of the
Academy, and as he read it the young
artists heart beat wildly with legit.

"At last" he cried, 81 have got

climbed ere genius receives its due
acknowledgement. But who's my

Hardy, pouring out his second cup of
coffee.
Then he read his other CORE.
spondence--an offer Of $1,000 for his
next picture, and three letters from
"dealers" anxious to be his middle
men. The latter epistles he cast on
one side, reserving the others for re-
plies. Breakfast over, Hardy thought
he would look Moore up, SO, lighting
cigar and putting the two letters in
his pocket, he set out for his friends
chambers in the Temple.
The journalist was writing an article
on "Pictures and Painters of the
Period" for the Week, a high-class
paper, whose opinions were much
priced by people of light and leading.
Moore looked up smiling as the painter
entered the sanctum.
"Just the man I wanted to see, !"
said he, putting down his pen; "what
do you think of this?" and forthwith
read:
"'The present exhibition of the
Royal Academy will ever stand out
prominently in the annals of British
art as the one that introduced to the
world the greatest painter of genius
since Sir Joshua Reynolds finally laid
down his brush. This is no mere
''high .falutin," but is simply placing
on record the consensus of opinion of
the most competent judges in artistic
circles-the Academicians themselves.

crowds to Burlington House. ,"

It would surpass the wit of man to
imagine o more miserable morning.
All night long the wind had blown as
though it meant to break its record,
and with the daylight the rain came
down in that determined manner it
assumes when it intends to continue
all day.
AS the miserable hours Of daylight
waned, the gale was still undimin-
ished.. and as our travellers turned
Strandward they thought the cab must
be blown into nothingness; however,
it remained intact, and they were soon
racing toward the sea in the express.
As they approached Dover the rain
ceased and the wind dropped consid-
erably, but there was still enough left
to indicate rough passage.
They were soon moving toward the
gangway to board the steamer. The
Journalist was descending and the
artist about to follow, when sudden
blow in the back sent him almost off
his legs. Hastily looking around, he
was surprised to sec young lady sit
ting in the middle of the gangway,
and he at once assisted her up.
"May I offer you my arm?" he
asked.
"Thank you; must accept, else I
shall never reach the boatl'
They were soon on board, and the
lady sought the saloon. The artist
and his friend paced the deck during
the passage, and as the wind dropped
the moon rose and the stars came out |;
SO enjoyable became the scene that
they were sorry when they arrived at
Calais.
It was not till Paris was reached that
Hardy again spoke to his fair assail-
ant. AS they were exchanging cards
she suddenly exclaimed: "Oh, there's
my father-I must introduce you. "
At that instant tall, elderly, iovial
looking man came up, and was intro
duced as Sir Henry Greet, and the
daughter told how Hardy had saved
her from what might have been o nasty
accident.
"It is an unexpected pleasure to
meet such famous artist" said the
baronet. "You and your FREUD must
dine with us to-night-we are at the
Hotel de pAthenee, Rue Scrf:
The dinner was jolly affair, hid at
its conclusion they separated with
buoyant spirits. Especially was this
the case with Hardy, upon whom Miss
Greet had made o deep impression.
During the next few days they met re.
peatedly, and ere long their friend
ship ripened into something which
tho artist concluded must be love.
They visited the Salon together, and
did all the sights in each others soci-
ety-had eyes and ears for nothing
else but their individual selves. When
the artist and the journalist left the
gay city, the latter took it as matter
of course when he was told that the
former was engaged to Miss Greet.
The baronet and his family were to
stay another month in Paris.

ENGLISH SPORTING LITERATURE
About One-Sixth of the English Periodi-

About One-Sixth of the English Periodi-
 calls Are Devoted to Sport.
 It may give some idea of the place of sport in English life to the sedentary American to say that is difficult to find an Englishman between IS and 65, in fair health, and not supported by the rates, who is not performer at some kind of sport or interested in some phase of it. Of the 673 reviews and magazines of nonreligious character printed in England, says the Forum, one in six is largely devoted to some form of out-of-door sport or occupation.
 Between 1880 and 1885, according to private index kept in the British mu- scum, there were 266 books published on the one subject of sport or athletics; between 1885 and 1890, 412, and, al though the figures for the last five years are not at hand, the number of books on the same subjects promises to pc even larger, almost forty books on golf Alone appearing during the last five years. Nor does this list include books on topics germain to the subject, such as books dealing with voyages, geography, history, biography and trade, of which there were 73S pub hshed in London in 1893, and probably more than a thousand during the last year.
 In word, John Bull loves the fresh air. He is a sportsman, an athlete, a soldier, sailor, traveller, colonist, rather than student, and all the fig ures bear me out iii making the state ment. During those horrible days in the Crimea, these sport-loving ''young barbarians'' were ''all at play" when they were not fighting; racing their ponies, getting up cricket matches, and off shooting such game as there was Che family-the Pelhams- hunted the Brocklesby pack of hounds for more than 175 years.

SALABLE TURKEYS.
The Old Fashioned GObbler Gives Place tI
 Medium-Sized Bird.

The Old Fashioned Gobbier Gives Place to
 Medium Sized Bird.
 All commission merchants agree that it is the medium-sized turkeys that sell the most readily and are the most profitable. The birds should dress eight, ten or twelve pounds, according to the proportion of toms and hens, they say. and should look plump and clean. These birds are the first se- lected. and the others go off more slowly. At over fourteen pounds re- duction in the price is demanded, while birds at eighteen or twenty pounds are almost unstable at greatly reduced rates.
 Of course there is some demand for large turkeys for hotels and boarding houses, but the private family will have none of them. for two excellent reasons: First, the oven in the average city house is too small to accommodate such lordly bird, and, secondly. the size of the family not being in propor- tion, it's members would rebel at the turkeys too frequent appearance at meals. It would be well for the tur. key raiser to keep both these points in view and regulate the size of his birds accordingly. He will save in feed and get better returns for his flock. The day of the enormous gobbler is past N Y World.

THE FORMIDABLE UMBRELLA,
A French Tragedian Finds It Mightier
 Than the Sword.

A French Tragedian Finds It Mightier
 Than the Sword.
 The affection of the collector for the illustrated by story told of Melingue, a French tragedian who had mania for gathering together great quantities of old vestments, arms and similar an- tique apparatus. Among his treasures was beautiful and keen-edged sword which had belonged to Philip H., son of Emperor Charles V.
 Having worn this sword in piece in which he was performing, Melingue was making his way homeward in Paris one night. The weather was rainy, and he carried an umbrella. Under his cloak he bore the precious sword of Philip II.
 Coming around corner, Melingue was suddenly menaced by two sneak thieves. He was an expert fencer, and knew that with the sword he could quickly beat the rascals off. But he said to himself:
 'What! Betray to these rascals that have such precious possession? No! They might be too much for me, after all, and then they would get it. I will keep it out of sight"
 So saying, he placed his left hand on the hilt of the sword inside his cloak, and with the other hand let down his umbrella. With this as a weapon, he assaulted the footpads with such force and spirit that he put them to flight.
 In this case the umbrella turned out to be mightier than the sword.

hidden for any one to tell whether
or not his heart had been captured,
or to compare notes with others
afterward. The prize, two united
hearts with the date '96, was won
by Miss Ada Cannan, who sue

"GooD-BY, MATE, eooD-BY."
Telegraph Lineman Drops Forty Feet &c
Save q Comrades Life.

Telegraph Lineman Drops Forty Feet to
Save Comrades Life.
The life of the telegraph Aneman is
full of peril. AS o. rule, the workman
has served an apprenticeship to his
arduous occupation, or has previously
qualified as sailor. 1t is no easy mat
ter to climb hand over hand the huge
telegraph poles, the sight of which is
so familiar all over the country.
In stormy weather the workman
carries his life in his hand. A few
years ago shocking accident drew
attention to the dangerous nature of
the work. Two men were engaged on
a telegraph pole standing many feet
above q well-known line of railway, A
wire had broken and they were busy
repairing the damage.
The wind blew fiercely from the
east, and the pole rocked to and fro in
the blast. Suddenly a strong gust
caused one of the men to turn in his po-
sition. In doing so he somehow pushed
his companion, who, taken unawares,
fell backwards. He clutched at his
mate, and both tumbled over amongst
the wires.
For a moment the two men hung
without speaking word. Then one of
them said:
bill, can't reach the post, and I'm
afraid if 1 move the wires will break. >"
And as he spoke q wire broke.
well, mate, it's q big drop down into
the grass" replied the other man; "but
as you're married and have three kids,
| don't see why should stay here"
mo, don't do that, Bill; you'll get
killed, surely. Let's hang little
longer"
But another wire broke, and Bill
made up his mind.
''Good-by, mate" he said to the other,
who had tears in his,eyes; 'good-by."
Then he dropped-a fall of 40 feet. He
fell among some bushes and rolled
down the embankment. When he rose
(for he was not dead) he crawled up to
where his companion hung.
I'm all right, matei I'm going for
help"
The station was half mile distant.
When the poor fellow who had risked
his life for his mate told his tale he
tainted away. The doctor said he had
broken his arms and q couple of ribs;
but his noble action saved his friends
life and his own.-Pearson's Weekly.

Silver in the First District.

The Cecilton correspondent of the
News says:
"And so, Bryan blandly said 'I'll
win.' Then hurrah for William J.
Bryan. We folks down in Cecilton
mean to vote for the boy Orator.
Why shouldn't we? 1t does not
matter to us what the Record or
any other paper says against Mr..
Bryan, we are going to do what we
can for him, even if that be but as
a drop in a bucket. We are Silver
ties and we do not believe in bolt
ing, for if any so-called democrat
bolts then he is not true to his col
ors even if he does offer the lame
excuse that Bryan and Sewall are
Populists. We may be dull of COM
prehension in many things, but we
can clearly understand the trouble
with some of our neighboring
States-that of Pennsylvania, for
instance. We are going to vote the
ticket and we endorse the platform.
May all the districts, all the conn
ties, all the states, yea, the whole
United States, follow the example
of the First district of Cecil county,
Maryland.
