Men. coming out INFO the night air,
laughing and talking eagerly, wondered
who she was and predicted h q h
would certainly break the bank; 9th
crs, crowding in and peering over each
others shoulders, pressed to catch "a
sight of the beautiful wonder. But the
woman played steadily on; only now
and again she whispered through her
set teeth, "For my love-my love-!
They all came crowding out at last,
with Bertha Yeend walking in the fore
front of them-calm II Whit 2-faced
as ever--wfth cries and shouts n
laughter ali about her; h had broken
the bank. The notes and gold were
gripped tightly within her fingers.
She shook herself free of the crowd
and came to the seat over which had
leaned Leslie Penstone and sat down
there. But he did not come. and she
got up at last, impatiently, and walked
slowly away.
She saw him coming toward her.
Leaning on his arm was n young girl.
Bertha Yeend thrust the notes and gold
into a bundle and held them bet veen
her hands, gripping them iarcHH.
II was just hoping l shOuM meet

friend?"
"Allow me-MiSs Dora Rrooke-~Mrs.
Yeend. AS an old friend, Mrs. Yeend,
you will be glad TO know that Miss

tunes and misfortunes of this uuWor-
thy servant. She is staying here with
her people; we are just looking Tor

He spoke with some degree of nerv-
| BUSINESS. Mrs. Yeend merely smiled de-
lightedly and spoke with her usual
easy grace.
81 must really congratulate you, MI.
rebstone,' she said. II was looking
| for my husband" Despite ali her care
her lips would tremble a little us she
finished speaking and bowed and left
them.
"Coward!' she breathed fiercely as
she hurried OH. $50 he lied, like all the

The Green Goods Game.

"Green goods" means counterfeit
money, usually greenbacks. If the
term counterfeit money were used
instead of that usually employed it
would be much better for the victim
and everybody else. The way the
game is played is somewhat as fol
lows: A man in the city or country
receives a letter asking if he desires to
make some money. The letter is cum
ningly worded, appeals to the receiv-
er's cupidity and plays upon his con
ceit. By the most alluring promises of
great wealth and assurances of the alb
sence of all danger. he is led to con
slider the matter, and finally visits the
place designated, and for possibly $500
in good money receives $4,000 in coun-
terfeit bills. These he is supposed to
pass in the regular course of business,
and the higher his standing in the
community the more likely he is TO
succeed in getting rid of the fraudu-
lent stuff. But he is almost certain to
be detected, for the government has
agents and spies everywhere, and they
know good money from bad at a sim
gle glance. There are many Occupa-
tons in which a man finds it foolish to
engage, and handling counterfeit
money is the silliest of them all, and
he who dabbles in such illegitimate
business deserves neither considera-
ton nor sympathy from his friends,
his fellow men or the law.-NeW York
Ledger.

Sarsaparilla
Damp Walls In Winter.

When the snow prevents the fowls
from going outside, the floor of the
house becomes filthy and the walls be-
come damp. The only remedy is to
clean frequently and keep the floor
well covered with litter. Damp walls
require ventilation, and this must be
done by leaving doors and windows
open, keeping the hens inside by the
aid of wire. If the walls are lined
with tarred paper on the inside, they
will become damp, and on n cold night
will show white frosting; hence, as we
stated before, the paper should be on
the outside. A stable lantern hung up
in the house, and a ventilator open at
the highest point will dry the walls,
but h ventilator must be closed when
the sun goes down. A lump of stone
M will absorb moisture, and greatly
aid in keeping the house dry. Water
ing pans (Which allow of evaporation
of water), %eXhalations Of the fowls,
and the moisture in the atmosphere,
are all sources of dampness which can
not well be avoided when fowls are
confined.

A PECULIAR FISH.
The Turbot's Bali and socket Eye
Are of Black and Gold

The TurbOt's Ball and Socket Eyes
Are of Black and Gold.
Lying limb and Shiny OH a tishmon-
gers slab, or dry and sandy in tile
Dutch fshwiyeS' baskets, the turbot is
perhaps the least Interesting of fish:
When swimming in an artificial sea or
lying on the sandy bottom it is the
most attractive of all the denizens of
this mock ocean and whether at rest
or in motion has an air of vigilance!
vivacity and intelligence greater b
that Of any of the normally-shaped
fish. This is in part due TO his habits
and in part to the expression of the
fish's eve. This; which is sunk and in
visible in the dead fish; is raised Oh a
kind of turret in the living turbot, or
sole, and set there in a ha~lf-revOlving
apparatus, working almost as indie
pendently as the ball and socket"
eyes of the chameleon. There is this
difference, however, in the eye of the
lizard and of the fiSh--the iris Of the
chameleon is a mere Din-hole at the top
of the eyeball, which is thus absolutely
without expression: The turbot's or
Quits eyes are black and gold and
intensely bright, with none of the
hXed, staring. Stuplu appearances Oh
ordinary fishes eyes. 1t. lies upon the
sand and jerks its eyes Independently
into position to survey any part of the
ground surface and the water above or
that on either side at any angle.
If it had light rays to project from
it's eyes instead of to receive, the effect
would be precisely that made by the
sudden shifting of the jointed appaia
atus which casts the electric light from
a warship at any angle ON the sea. sky
or horizon. The turbots. though ready,
graceful swimmers, moving in wave
like undulationS across the water, or
dashing off like a flash when 50 dis
posed, usually lie perfectly still upon
the bottom. They do not, like the dabs
and founders, cover themselves with
sand, for they mimic the color of the
ground with such absolute fidelity that
except for the shining eyes it is almost
impossible to distinguish them. 1t
would appear that volition plays some
part in this subtle conformity to en-
vironment, for one turbot, Which is
blind, has changed a tint too light and
not at all in harmony with that of the
Sand.-LondOn Spectator.

IN WILLS
Curious TeStamcnts Left by Smokers
and Anti-Sm

ana Ahtt-shieAefS
Hines, the merchant of Rotterdam,
was called the king of smokers, from
his devotion to the gentle weed, and
he had a right regal funeral, says an
exchange. BY the terms of his will
every smoker who chose to attend it
was presented with ten pounds of to-
bacco and two Dutch pipes, on which
were engraved the name, arms and
date of the decease of the testator.
All his guests were invited to be care
full to keep their pipes alight during
the funeral ceremonies and to empty
their ashes into his grave. His oak
coffin was lined with the cedar of his
old Havana cigar boxes, and n packet
of old Dutch tobacco was placed at the
foot of his coffin. His favorite pipe
was laid by his side, along with a box
of matches. as well as flint and steel
and some finder, as he had expressed
an opinion that ''there was no knowing
what might happen" Some anti-to-
b%accOnistS of the period seem to have
Wickedly remarked that these precau-
tons about procuring a light would be
found superiiuous.
The courts recently set aside a clause
in the will of an a~nti-tobacco Lacquer
in Ireland. This gentleman has a pref
udice against smoking, perhaps be-
cause it made him sick, and inserted
this paragraph in his last testament:
II have told my sons John, Richard
and Samuel, that if they indulge In the
habit tlnpy would forfeit $500 each, to
be divided among their sisters, and
should they at any time begin TINS
habit their sisters may sue them each
fer F5at"-Ntr York Advertiser.

q Diamonds.

Some curious stories can be told
about the thousands of false diamonds
sold yearly in London. AS a working
goldsmith l have seen a good deal of
the trade in imitation stones. People
of the ranks buy them. A nObleman is
in immediate want of cash and must
find it somewhere. He will perhaps
turn to the family diamonds. Possibly
100000 could be raised upon them. He
takes the jewels off to the false dia-
mond provider, has the real stones re-
moved and the false ones put in and
deposits the actual gems with some
one as security for a loan. No one is
a bit the wiser. His wife appears in
her jewels just the same as usual. If
she didn't her husband would be made
bankrupt by his creditors the next
week. A large amount of business is
done in this way, and you may depend
upon it that the false diamond mer-
chant has many ii chuckle when he
reads in his paper about Lady So-and-
Sos magnificent diamond bracelet
and the Countess Bareacre's superb
tiara."-Ashton Reporter,
