and his character too, had all the
,barply defined angles of youth He
hristled with theories and opinions.
There was strong family resemblance
between himself and his uncle. Armyn
Van Dyne was also handsome man,

win more rotundity of figure; and the
,act hat his dark eyes We're set rather
close together deprived them of that
candid expression which characterized

The conversation took place on board
The ION Jones. a dingy little steamboat
that piled between a southern city and
an island of the gulf. They were now
waiting to effect their entrance through
a canal dock and the pause was
tedious one, with not ghost of
breeze blowing and nothing to be seen
but few gaping bystanders on the
bank and the sprightly fiddler crabs
scrambing about in the mud.

The next morning, however, under
bright blue sky, the island put on its
prettiest face and Janet could not help
being pleased with it. The freshly
painted cottages beneath the rows of
trees looked very attractive, and the
old sugar house. which did duty as a
ballroom, gave promise of pleasure to
come.
The days passed lazily and pleasant
ly, for stiff breeze had swept away
the mosquitoes, and the air was like a
draught from the fountain of youth.
Mr. Van Dyne was his own charm
ing self and Janet could not help own
ing that there was something very
winning in Pills good spirit though
she was repealed by some of the senti-
ments he uttered.
Gle must have a hard, selfish streak
In him, she thought, for she was still
young enough to judge people by their
words.
But presently the bright weather be-
gan to break up and on the day set for
al excursion to the neighboring light
house the sky locked so threatening
that Mr.. Dale would not allow Janet
to go with the party"
Those long wisps Of cloud mean

Janet felt inclined to pout as the gay
party headed by Phil set forth On their
quest of pleasure.
Darker and darker grew the sky. and
toward afternoon It began to rain in
gusts, and the wind piped shriIly.
Some anxiety was felt on behalf OF the
absent ones, and Janet joined a group
or watchers on the dining-room GAL
lery. Presently the lugger appeared,
her sail sometimes almost fat upon the
water as fierce gust made her careen,
but at last she battled her way to the

CAUGHT A SALAMANDER.

c. A. Smaller found a strange looking
animal under some boards in the cellar
at his lone on CaD2n street yesterday.
Mr.. Smaller says it made dart for him
when the board under which it was ly-
ing was overturned, but missed him.
He says it is called a ground puppy in
Virginia and is regarded a very poi
sOnOus.
The animal is a spotted salamander,
about which was formerly supersti-
tion that it could live in fire, and even
extinguish fire by the natural GOODNESS
of it's body. 1t belongs. to the ordela
species, and, like the lizard, has four
feet, slim body and long tail. 1t is
related to the frog. The color of the
animal is black on the back, shading
to dark brown on the belly, with a
series of bright yellow spots along
either side. Mr.. Skaters salamander
is about seven inches long from the
head to the tip of the tail. The animal
is native of warm climates, and no
one knows how this one got in Mr..
Shailers cellar, or in Hartford. Hart

little ammonia in it. Wash by rub

to dry quickly, rubbing and pulling the
article into proper shape every few
moments to prevent the skins drying

HOW ARE YOUR EYES AND EARS?

You are either 1eft-eyed or right-eyed,
unless you are the enc person out Of
every fifteen who has eyes of equal
strength. You also belong to the
small minority of one out of every ten
persons if your left eye is stronger
than your right AS a rule, just as
people are right they are right
eyed. This is pohably due to the
greater use of the organs of the right
side of the body, as, for example, a
gunner using his right eye, thereby
strengthening it with exercise.
Old sea captains, after long use Of
the telescope, find their right eye much
stronger than the left. The law is con-
firmed by the experience of aurists.
If a person who has ears Of equal hear
ing power has cause tc use one ear
more than the other for long period,
the ear brought into acquisition is
found to be much strengthened, and
the ear which is not loses it's hearing
in a corresponding degree.
