A NEGRO GIRL At YASSAR.

PoUGHKEEps1E, N. Y, August 15.-
Society and educational circles in this
city are profoundly shocked by the an
uouncement in a local paper to-day
that one of the graduating class of
Vassar college this year was a Negro
girl, who concealing her race, entered
the college, took the four years course
and finally confessed the truth to a
professor few days before commence
ment.
The facts were communicated to the
faculty, which body in secret session
decided to allow the girl to receive
her diploma with her class.
Vassar is noted for its exclusiveness,
and every official of the college refuses
to say aught regarding the girl grad
uate. She has been known as one of
the most beautiful young women who
ever attended the great institution OF
learning, and even now women who
received her in their homes as their
equal do not deny her beauty. At the
reception on Founders day, Philathian
day and the other holidays of the COL
lege year none of the fair students was
more eagerly sought by the men from
Yale, Harvard and other universities
who attended these events.
Her fellow students called her "the
beautiful brunette" Her manners

SYNOPSIS OF PEvIoUs INsTALLMESTs.
In order that new readers of The EN-
oUIRER may begin with the following in
stallment of this story, and understand 1t
Just the same as though they had read 1t
all from the beginning, we here give
synopsis of that portion Of it which has
already been published:
CrAPTER I.-Vladimir Saradof, Rus
sian being heir to the fortune OF his neph-
ew, Maurice Hammond, an American, in
case of his nephew's death, conspires to
have him sent to Russia in order to get
him in his power. II.-Hammond and
his friend Philip Danvers arrive at St.
Petersburg, and Saradoff lays plans to
have them arrested as conspirators against
the government. III and 1V.-Ham-
mond at review saves the life OF Colo
mel Jaroslav. Proceeding to Moscow,
they are arrested and sent to Siberia. On
the way the boat on which they travel
catches fire, and they, with two other con-
victs, escape in skiff. V, vi and VII
Hammond and Danvers pursue their way
with the two other prisoners, who attack
an approaching wagon. Hammond anu
Danyers defend an officer in the wagon.
A troop Of Cossacks appears and recapt-
ures all the prisoners. The officer tells
the Americans that they will probably be
shot, but in view of their services to him
he will do all he can for them.

Fox AND DOG HUNT TOGETHER
While angling in secluded glen the
writer some days ago witnessed cur
ious combination of poaching and
natural history. The facts are as fol-
lows: A hill shepherd, in destroying
litter of foxes, took it into his head
to rear one as a pet. He die so, and
the animal has not only become very
tame, but is most useful ally. Itand
a collie hunting together, kill rabbits
to a miracle. They work very much
in the same way as two lurchers. The
collie goes out and hunts the rabbits
among the fern and heather of the
braes, or the rushes and long grasses
of the stacks, while Reynard all the
time sneaks about the holes and picks
them up as they come in. They un-
derstand their respective parts perfect
w.. The collie seems to know that it
it is not her business to kill, and the
fox is never under the slightest temp
tation to bolt out and give chase

DEAN STANLEY AND THE SAILOR.
1t is related that Dean Stanley once
went to an inn in country village
and, after ordering a pot of ale, sat
down on bench beside an old sailor.
The Dean soon got into conversation
with the man, and presently asked
him if he could say the points of the
compass. The sailor could do 30.
"Now," said the Dean, "can you say
them backward ?" This also the sailor
was able do do. After a pause, the
latter asked the dean whether he
could say the Lords prayer. Dean
Stanley repeated the prayer as desired.
"Now, then," said the sailor, "can you
repeat it backward? The Dean made
the attempt, closing his eyes the bet
ter to consecrate his thoughts on his
task. At length he finished. eyes,"
said the sailor, "that's all very we'll,
but haven't you heard that we must
watch as we'll as pray? The rogue
had drank the cleric's beer while the
latter was engaged in saying the Lords
prayer backward.

WHO INVENTED THE PIANo.-Three
different nations, the English, German
and French claim the honor of invent
ing the piano. The truth of the mat
ter is believed to be this. 1t was in
vented by Father Wood, an English
monk living at Rome, in the year I'LL.
By much diligence and hard labor he
succeeded in finally turning out an
almost perfect instrument, which he
sold to Samuel Crispi, the famed au-
thor of "Virginia." Crispi sold it to
Faulke Greville Count Carli says to
Bartho!omeo ChristofoD of Padua, du-
ring his stay in Florence, sometime
about the year TIA.
The French claim the invention for
their countryman, Marius of Paris,
who they declare, completed the inven-
ton in 1716.
The Germans make their claim in
the interest of one J. c. Schroeder,
who they say, invented the first perfect
piano in the year 1717, when he was
only IS years old.

ORIGIN OF HAND SHAKING.-There
are several explanations of its origin in
the early days of the Middle Ages,
when every one went about fully
armed, and men were compelled to be
constantly on the lookout against
treacherous attacks. By grasping one
another's right, or sword hands, men
who met assured themselves against
sudden and premeditated attack and,
therefore this shaking of hands came
to be recognized as the general form
of friendly greeting, continueing, as is
the case with so many of our other
customs, long after the original cause
forit had ceased to operate. In feudal
times the vassal put his hands in the
hands of his lord on taking the oath of
fidelity and homage.

RESULT OF A MEAT DIET.-Mrs.
Hart, who has covered the globe with
her notebook, declares the English
people to be the most garrulous and
quarrelsome Of any she has encoun-
tered. She says there is more bicker-
ing and distemper in the Englishman's
family and more homes are made un-
happy by domestic squabbles than in
any of the other nations she has visi-
ted. This condition she attributes
chiefly to the Anglo -Saxon's fondness
for a meat diet. She says the great
fesh-eating people are notably ill.tem-
pered. We are only animals, and the
sequence of meat and fits, as demon
strated in the animal kingdom, has
significance in relation to the human
animal. Mrs. Hart has gone further
than this, and has studied the gentle
Japanese, the mild Mongolian and
other light faces, which research con-
firms her ideas touching fesh-eating
and family jars.

How to Remove NIildew.

Mildew is removed by first brushing
off any loose mildew Then little COM
mon salt should be rubbed in, afterward
literally sprinklng with powdered chalk
and thoroughly moistening with clean
cold water. After this the articles should
be slowly dried in the open air and then
rinsed, aud if the marks are not removed
the treatment should be repeated, posi-
bly, several times, but in the end the
mildew will be removed

To DRY UMBRELLAs.-Wet umbrel-
las should be put to dry with their
handles down, allowing the moisture
to dry off evenly. If the handle be
up, the water will drip down into the
thickened part at the top, and will
take so long to dry that the cloth will
be rotted. Umbrellas should not be
rolled up while they are wet, and it is
better to let them be unrolled while
they are in the house. A silk umbrel-
la should never be opened out to dry,
as the stretching of the wet silk makes
it liable to crack. When a ferule is
lost, it should be replaced.

"No, Phil; don't gtUe up."


you be kind enough to tell Us to what
part of Siberia we have been sentenced?
No one will give us any information. I"
The lieutenant spoke few words to
the captain, and then. turning to Mau-
rice, replied: II can tell you nothing
now. I promise you that you shall
know what your original sentence was
when you arrive at Tomsk." He signal
ed to the guards, and the boys were led
away to the larger apartment down
stairs.
Grodno was still sitting in moody ST.
lence in his corner, and the Cossacks
were filling their pockets with food and
their canteens with tea.
Outside the sturdy ponies were stamp
ing restlessly, and through the window
Maurice saw the wagon standing at the
station door. Another horse had been
found to match the one shot by Grodno.
A bugle blast assembled the Cossacks
in haste, and the boys were rebound
and placed in the wagon. Grodno was
fastened securely on the back Of one of
the horses and given III charge of two
Cossacks. At the last minute Lieuter-
ant Brosky oppeared and took the front
seat. When Just on the point of starting
an incident occurred which for the mo-
ment diverted the boys from their trou-
bles.
Amid the throng of curious villagers
standing little distance from the wag-
on the keen eyes of Lieutenant Brosky
detected the cowardly driver who had
run away from him that morning and
was l7rking in the background hoping
to escape detection.
The angry officer seized his whip and
sprang from the little wagon with a
single boun!. Another leap carried him
into the midst of the affrighted peas
ants, who scattered in every direction,
and catching his man by the neck he
dragged him back before the station
and applied the whip with merciless
energy. The fellow howled and scream
ed most piteously, but the officer con-
tinued the castigation until the whip
split in his hand, and then, tossing the
fragments in one direction and the limp
peasant in the other, he coolly climbed
into the wagon, and with merry blast
of the bugles the convoy wound across
the steppe ON its way to Tomsk. Hamid
was not with the party. His condition
was probably too serious to permit re-
moval, but Maurice noticed that two OF
the Cossacks remained behind, doubt
less to await the Turks recovery.
At the time the convict barge had
been set on fire it was more than 100
miles from the city of Tomsk, and as
the fugitives had covered but little
ground in their fight the journey was
of short duration.
The Cossack ponies and the horses
who drew the wagon were animals OF
superior strength and endurance, as are
all Siberian horses, and after two brief
delays at wayside posting stations
Tomsk was reached late the following
evening. They crossed the dark river

world has been in successful operation
near Stockton, California. The ma
chine turns out three 60-pound sacks
of wheat every minute. 1t has cut

were those of person of gentle birth,

and her intelligence and ability were
recognized alike by her class mates and
professors. Her skin was dark, but
not swarthy. Her hair was black, but
straight as an Indians, and she usually
gathered it in knot at the back of her
head. Her eyes were coal black and
of piercing brilliancy. Her appear.
ance was such that in other environ
ments she might have been taken for
an Indian indeed, not q few OF the
students whispered that Indian blood
flowed in her veins.
In her third year in college it was
limited that her ancestors might have
had colored blood mixed with the New
England "blue blood" of which she
was fond of talking. She would often
speak of her brother, of whom she
seemed to be proud, and once the
young man came to see her. The
other girls eyed him curiously. His
skin was of the same dusky hue as his
sisters.
In. her senior year the statements
this beautiful, dark young woman
made about her relatives-their style
of living, the splendor of her home,
etc.-prompted her room mate, who
already had her suspicious aroused by
gossip, to repeat them to her father,
a well-known business man.
He caused inquiries to be made
about the pretty brunettes family in
her native town. The investigation
failed to find the culture and wealth
and family name of which she boasted.
The name was the same, but the fami-
ly was that of a respectable Negro,
who owned a small estate. The bru-
nette beauty a few days later lost her
room mate, upon the advice of the
latter's father.
This incident added to the gossip in
the college, and few days before COM
mencement the whisperings of her
class mates reached the colored girls
ear. She was t-broken to learn
that her secret was suspected, perhaps
known. Going to one of the professors
she bravely told everything.
AS little girl she said, she attracted
the attention ola woman of wealth and
position, who saw in her possibilities of
q noble womanhood. This woman took
the little colored girl into her house
hold, gave to her all the advantages of
money and refinement, and as result
she passed the required examinations,
entered Vassar and completed the pre-
scribed course of study.
The kind hearted professor, woman,
wiped away the girls tears, and spoke
words of encouragement. Then she
went to President Taylor with the
story, and pleaded with him not to de-
prive the girl of commencement honors
and a diploma. The faculty considered
the matter gravely. Never had a
colored girl been student at aristo-
cratic Vassar, and professors were at
loss to foresee the effect upon the
future if this one were allowed to be
graduated. Yet there is nothing in the
college rules that prohibits a colored
woman from entering Vassar.
Commencement was but few days
off, and the girl would soon be gone
and forgotten. So it was decided to
conceal the facts and let her be grad
uated with her classmates. On class
day and commencement the young
woman took prominent part in the
exercises, and of all the hundred or
more girls in the class of '97 none
looked more attractive or acted more
becomingly than this girl of Negro
birth.-N. Y. World.
