LOUISE MIcHELN
Tho rreach Woman who Has Com. to
Tell ~ How 60 Live.

II Is likely that when Louise Michel
visits the West. the actual sight OF her
on the platform will dlssipate much OF
the halo OF romance that surrounds her
as viewed by socialist eyes across three
thousand miles OF perspective. She Is
a most unattraotiyo woman, physically
tall, masculine and raw-boncd, and
even the charm OF youth Ia absent, for
she Is slxty-slx. An American reporter
who tried TO find her for "a Interview
six years ago In Paris had n curious eN-
perlenco. The anarchist was then liv-
ing shnbblly in the Rue Victor Hugo,
outside the Notifications OF Paris, Tho
reporter sought her IN the aristocratlo
Avenue Victor Hugo. and was discon-
certed when the servant at the mis-
taken address slammed the door in his
face at mention OF her name, ratified
the ohain-bolt within, and exhibited
other signs OF alarm.

THE USE OF LEAD.
What Navigator Says of Reported
Statement of Capt Jameson's,

When an ocean steamer OF the first
class runs ashore on a well-known
coast, said u navigator according to
the New York Herald, IAN experienced
seaman will first inquire whether the
captain of the stranded ship was using
his lead. A proper use OF the lead of
Long Branch will prevent vessel
from going ashore in the thickest fog
ever known" In the case of the ST.
Paul" he continued, so far rs can
learn, the only information as TO the
use of tho lead is contained in the re-
marks YOU have Just shown me as hav-
lug been made by the steamers COM
mandcr, Capt, Jamison, to Capt, West
Of the lifo-s saving service. Capt. Jami-
son told him, Capt West says, that the
man taking soundings reported II
fathoms when the depth was only
seven fathoms, In making this state
mont Capt, lamison must have OK
pocted or asked Capt West to tell II to
the reporters He never could have

would be believed by Capt. West or

off Long Branch, u distance of "a miles

have run that distance In less than an

that tho man taking souudings must
have been steadily reporting u wrong

he was not taking soundings at all
during that timo, 1t follows that the
soundings were not taken or that the
man taking them was utterly incom-
potent, or that the captain did not pay
any attention to his reports

TlPPLING ABSINTHE.

Absintho. which not long ago was
looked upon here as dangerous drink,
that had done much to fill the insane
asylums OF France, has firmly ostab-
lished Itself In New York now, and It
In even manufactured here In consid-
cradle quantities. One firm has gone
into the manufacture OF absinthe on q
large scale, with machinery imported
from France. II Ia said that It turns
ont II thousand gallons month from
dried NORWOOD leaves, and there are
cheaper grades OF American absinthe
made by smaller firms. Every French
restaurant In town serves absinthe,
and 1t IL on sale Mt all the Broadway
Cnfcs, though 1t Is not drink to be
served over the bar. A French absin-
the drinker will sip n glass OF 1t
lesurely for an hour Some men who
pntronlzo Broadway bars want quick
results, and they drink glass OF abb
sinthe and gum and water very much
as they would toss Off IL mug OF beer.
II Is claimed by men who drink abb
sinthe regularly before dinner that 1t
Is less harmful appetizer than a
cocktail They assert that It's action
Is not 80 violent, and that the time
spent In drinking It leisurely Is a good
preparation for dinner. In the cafe OF
the best known French restaurant In
this town one finds men and women
slipping absinthc between the hours OF
6 and 7, and very seldom Is a cocktail
served New York Sun.

WASTE or GOLD.

II is not generally known. even In
California, that hundreds of thousands
of pounds In gold are annually taken
from the rude heaps of base looking
quartz by tho flowing of water over
hugo piles of broken rocks that con-
tain the precious metal, Tho water
used by the miners is charged with
simple chemical which has the potency
to dissolve gold and hold It In solu-
ton. This Is cyanide of potassium, a
poisonous drug, which ferrets out the
minutest particles of the metal During
the last Ave years tho process has been
Almost universally adopted, and more

OPPORTUNITY ON THE SEA.

When war was renewed In 1903 be-
tween England and France, the rule
of l75G was again asserted by Great
Britain as binding, while indirect
trade between neutral ports and the
ports Of an enemy was again allowed,
but under the new proyiso that the
neutral ship did not on her outward
voyage furnish the enemy with goods
contraband OF war. This privilege OF
indirect trade was invaluable TO
American ship-owners. and for two
years the ocean commerce OF all Eu-
rope was In their hands. The fortunes
they thus accumulated were enormous,
while Great Britain saw her own
manufactures displaced by those Of
continental nations, and the colonies
OF her enemies prospecting as never be-
fore.-Prof. Sloane In the Century.

SCENE AFTER DARK.
Opium Flends Know Where They Can
Get the Drug.

There are a great many secrets be-
low the gaudy surface Of the Tender
loln which casual observers never
learn, and one OF them is the secret
where opium and morphine are sold,
says the New York Journal. AS you
stroll along Sixth avenue, not the old
Sixth avenue, but the rejuyenated, re-
formed thoroughfare, you may notice,
without paying much attention to It.,
the sign on many drug stores; Open
All Night or Never Closed.
This means nothing to the stray
passenger, but to the initiated the sign
says quite plainly Dope sold inside.
for the chances are ten TO one that the
all-nigEt druggist has large number
OF clients who buy the seductive pro-
duct OF the poppy II Is true that
some OF the chemists who keep open
all night do net sell the poison except
on a physicians prescription, but the
majority OF them waive the formula OF
having you sign the poison book.
Such places abound along Sixth and
Seventh avenues, but the stranger need
not delude himself into thinking he
can walk in and buy shell" The
law breakers are very cautious, and
never sell to any one they do not know
to be a fiend.
Early In the evening you can not
find any such In these shops. but after
midnight the fats and furnished rooms
Of the side streets pour out con-
glomerate mass OF men and women
who are easily marked as fends. On

In better world" said the laird,
with such honest anger in his vol2e
that his wife was convinced he spoke
the truth.
Don't be angry, Alexander; | only
meant to tease you a bit and to show
you that knew and yet married you. i"
AS the lady spoke she held out "A
white jewelad hand, but the laird had
risen to his feet and took no notice
of it,
II don't like this sort of talk the
retailing of gossip is to me intolerable
nonsense"
"Oh, pshaw! We all know that peo-
pie do have occasional weaknesses
and"
perfectly right Terrible
weaknesses, If you WILL weaknesses
which entail lifelong remorse-oh,
yes"
Here he paused and uttered a short,
derisive laugh, but checking himself,
turned and faced his wife.

Why, yes; if | remember rightly,

swered, fippantly.

Next morning among their guests
the subject OF driving down to the
village came up.
And by the way, Elise" said the
laird, "Tll tell you where you might
go. There is little shop, a small
ncy-goods concern, kept, believe,
by widow, whose little boy nearly
rode down one day; you might pur-
chase some trifes there"
Mr.. Marin related for the entertain
ment OF his guests how he had taken
the little chap into the saddle and
borne him home, a most interesting
and bright specimen Of his kind, fail

was out at the time"

with women, some handsome and well
groomed, others exhausted and worn

Ladies generally are They have
infinitely more tact that we OF the
other sex" Mr. Marin responded gal
lantly, and walked off to instruct his
valet to prepare the bundle Of cloth
Ing.
In the afternoon, which was warm
and sunny, the carriage from Brka'
drove slowly down toward the little
fancy shop ut the end of tn" town.
Mrs. Marin sat sewing behind the
screened window when, hearing the
carriage stop, she peeped out and
hastily made a dash for the door Be
fore she could reach It, however, il
was unceremoniously opened wide, and
n blooming, sclf-important young man
in buttoned livery and with black
cockade on one side of his hat. entered
the shop He was closely followed by
the lady OF Birka', who had stepped
out Of the carriage leaving her guests
to wait
Mrs. Marin retired behind the coun-
ter and for n moment stood looking at
the bundle, ignoring the presence Of
the lady
She was calm and pale AS marble;
her nicely dressed hair lay In shining
brown braids above her broad white
brow; the Clcarness of her complexion
was enhanced by the black, neat-tit
ting dress she wore; the white frill
about her throat was fastened by a
tiny gold brooch with rare cat's-eye
stone set in It. The lady also noted
her small, shapely hands and slender
fingers, on one of which she wore a
wedding ring.
"Ah, how dye do? You are a
widow am told" said the lady, com
ing up to the counter and feeling
somehow uncomfortable under the
shopkeeper's steady eye. This was
not the sort of person she had ex
pected TO see; far from It.
Il brought these things some cast
off things of Mr.. Nairn's-but they are
good-veTy good FASTENED to
say, with involuntary apology, II
thought they would make down very
nicely for your little boy"
The eyes Of the shopkccper, IN
which an ominous fire had been
smoldering, now flashed with a gleam
vivid as lightning.
Remove that from my counter-~you
you turnkey" she cried, pointing 10
the bundle as If 1t had been dynamite,
and the man of cockade and buttons
instinctively obeyed.
And you, madam-how dare you
come and insult me with such things?
Get you gone!--this instant--or shall
go mad and tear you limb from limb"
A sudden instinct Of self-preserya-
ton made the lady and her servant
turn and fee 10 the carriage for
refuge, for the face OF the widow had
for one wild moment become az the
face Of a demon. 30 terribly did the
passion OF fury blaze and barn and
comfort her usually quiet features
She was standing with one shaking
hand pressed over her heart, her face
like death, her lips blue, her teeth
chattering with the nervous chill OF
reaction that had set In, when

Il wish you would go down into the
village occasionally, Elsie The peo-
pie like to see us manfesting an in

may be little below par must
say | dislike the usual way of airing
our superiority by TOO rigid eXClu-
sivencss They look slow, these labor

them credit for. When uncle first

dream of being model landlord, one
to whom these people would come in
trubie Of any kind. | would make but
a juvenile patriarch as yet, hut like
the old ratriarchal idea OF triendliness
and protection and general helpful
ness"
SO said the laird of Birka' as he
lounged i'll his wifes boudoir one even
ing after the guests had retired
oh, dear, 1t is such bore making
oneself agreeable to that class of pco-
pie The men are so unmannerly and
the women so frouZy and untidy
shall never get used to them. Did you
see that woman standing on her door
step with her arms akimbo last time
we drove through the town? She
stared and stared and though
looked her straight in the eyes and
she must have known who we were,
she never dropped an eyelash."
The lady raised her own dark eye
brows and shrugged her shoulders as
thus expressing herself she leaned
back in her luxurious easy chair
"Oh, well, Elsie, of course the late
proprietor was not man to command
respect; his name was quite a byword
in the countryside, | believe, and nat
uraly the people have come to have
little respect for the gentry OF Birka
We must change all that, however.
We shall not only make them respect
and look up to us but we must learn
TO respect them for what good is in
them"
The lady responded by another elo-
quent shrug and smile OF amuse-
ment.
q believe you will end your days as
a radical" she said.
Il might do worse" he retorted i
must say | have met with as much
nobility of spirit in humble life as
among our own set great deal
more, in fact"
"Oh, know what that means" said

with smiling coclness.
