An impressive instance of 4 play that
influenced human life comes from one
of the northern towns, where a very
striking play was being performed III
which the disastrous consequences fol-
lowing ON the love of two men for the
same woman were realistically present
ed. a young engineer who had conceiv-
ed violent affection for girl who had
resented his attentions in view of the
fact that she loved another man, who
CHANGED to be the engineers bosom
friend, witnessed this play one even
ing, and it made very deep impression
ON him, as it seemed almost to have
been written to apply to his own I'M
happy situation. Act by act the tragic
story was unfolded, jealousy of the dis
appointed lover ending in crime and
punishment. and when at length the
curtain fell the engineer had como to a
decision. He went home, packed up a
few necessaries and a week later set
out for Australia, where, by a lucky
stroke a year later, he made a mighty
fortune He attributed all his success
to the play in question, for had he never
seen it he would never have gone away
from England, and perhaps some awful
occurrence might have arisen from his
unrequited passion.-London Standard.

Gle than heating q piece of iron to a
cherry hue, or an even more dazzling
incandescent, by thrusting 1t into a
tank of cold water. None of Herr
manh's illusions could be more start
ling than this feat, which, as now per-
formed, is a practical reality, and not
merely an entertaining trick. Hitherto
the blacksmith has plunged a horseshoe
or other product of his art into a bath
beside his forge to lower the tempera-
ture of a piece of metal which has al
ready been heated in the fire. 1t Is now
proposed to do away with the broad
hearth, the Goals, the blaze and the bel.
lows, but to retain the tank and its con
tentsl Then, simply by immersing the
iron Therein, 1t will be quickly brought
to THE desired temperature.

tests of the device were being made, II
was found hat a railroad spike fully
an inch in diameter acquired a cherry
tint fifty seconds after 1t was dipped
into the cold bath, while a half-inch
screw bolt came to a white heat in
eighteen seconds.
The general arrangement of this won
derfhl apparatus Is as follows: The
tank Is about as big as a kitchen sink,
and stands on -four legs. 1t Is a porta-
BILE affair. Two carefully insulated
wives, proceeding either from a dyna-
mol on the premises or from some gen
erat power and lighting circuit outside,
arel led into the room. The positive
wire Is connected with the metal lining
of the reservoir. The other wire is Sc
CURED, by welding or solder, or other
wise, to a pair Of tongs, whose handles
arel covered with insulating material.
The negative wire is long enough and
flexible enough to allow considerable
movement by the workman. The lat
ter merely grasps with these insulated
tongs the spike, bolt, horseshoe or other
object which Is to be heated and dips 1t
Into the liquid. That's all. When it is
hot jenough he turns to his anvil and
hammers the thing, or drops 1t where
another workman can pick 1t up, and
then uses his magic tongs afresh to
handle something else.-New York

sRRANp ACROSS The STREET.
Lively Adventure In Brescia During
the Revolution of 1S4S.


The Count de Hubner tells in his
MEMORIES" a thrilling story of an ad.
venture in the italian city of Brescia
during the days Of the revolution OF
1849. When the trouble began in the
streets, he contrived to get into a
house, taking with him two or three
other persons, including the wife of q
minor official who had entrusted the
lady for a while to the counts care,
but who was to have certain news OF
her as o 0 as possible.
The firing grew heavier, and the reb-
els soon had possession of almost every
house in the street.
On the 10th of March, Count de Hub
ner decided that he must do something
toward lettering his position in case
of an assault, and he forced his only
remaining servant to make a dash
across the street to the palace where
the Austrian general Rath was quar-
tered, two blocks away and on the
other side. The nan was merely to
let the general know that Hubner him
self was coming, and to ask that the
gates be held ready for him.
Myself, prudence and my honor had
a long heated argument" says Count
de Hubner. FINALLY I pulled myself
together; l had to let Prince Meter
mich know about myself, to make a
last report, and to keep my word about
poor Madame NJ. l undid the door, drew
a long breath, and plunged down the
street.
THE bullets flew all around me, spat-
tering leaden showers from the stone
pavement. AS l arrived at the gates
of the palace, they swung inward, and
In a second l was inside unscathed.
But only half my Journey was done; I
had still to 60 back again.
"a letter-my last report-was soon
completed for M~etternich, and my mes
sage to the husband of Madame NJ. wac
given. l had to return.
Again the gates were opened and I
bounded forth. A veritable fusillade
followed. From every window and
housetop came the spurts of white
smoke, and l tried to dodge forty bull.
let's at once. In a minute l had reach
ed my W door, and as I did so l
turned to look back.
Another nan left the palace gates
at full speed, but before he had half
crossed the street a puff of smoke shot
out of a window, and he fell fat and
was instantly lying like a log across
the gutter. The fire stopped at once
what use would even an Italian see in
shooting a dead man?
But on the second that all became
quiet, to my great establishment l saw
this dead man rise to his legs like q
cat, and dash across the street into the
half-open door waiting for him. The
s~harpshooters were taken by surprise
and he escaped"

ATENNYsoN AND BROWNING.
Where Colonel Higgipson Met These
Two Great Poets.


Fortified With letters of introduction
from Lady Pollock and Miss Thack-
cray, I visited Tennyson. l spent the
previous night at Cowes, and was driv-
en- eight miles to Farringford (where
Tennyson then Lived, by a very lntelli-
gent young groom, who had never
heard of Tennyson. Arriving, I sent
up my name, and heard presently a
rather heavy step IN the adjoining
room, and there stood In the doorway
the most misunderstanding man l bad
ever seen. He was tall and high-shoul-
dered, careless In dress, and, while he
had a high and domed forehead, yet
his brilliant eyes and tangled hair and
beard gave him rather the air Of q par
TALLY reformed Corsican bandit, or else
an imperfectly secularized Carmelite
monk, than of a d%ecorous and WELL
groomed Englishman. He greeted NE
shyly, gave me his hand (Which was In
those days a good deal for an English
mani, then sidled up to the mantel-
piece, leaned upon 1t, and said, with the
air of an aggrieved ~schoolboy:
Il am rather afraid of you Ameri-
cans. Your c%ountrymen do not treat
me very well. There was Bayard Tay-
lor-"
And then he went into a long nara
ton Of some grievance incurred
through an indiscreet letter of that
well-known journalist. Strange to say,
the effect of this curious attack was to
put me perfectly at my ease. 1t was
as If l had visited Shakespeare and had
found hin In a pet because some one
of my fellow c%ountrymen had spelled
his name wrong. l knew myself to be
wholly innocent and to have no Journal
istic designs, nor did l ever during his
lifetime describe the interview.
Calling upon Robert Browning at the
Athenaeum Club, then, as now, the
headquarters of intellectual pursuits in
London. and of which it used to be said
that no mar could have any question to
ask that he could not find somebody to
answer, that very afternoon, between
8 and 6 o'clock at this club, 1t seemed
strange to ask a page to find Mr..
Browning for me, and 1t reminded me
of the time-when the little daughter Of
a certain poetess quietly asked at the
dinner table, between two bites Of an
apple: Mamma, did l ever see Mr..
Shakspeare?" The page spoke to a
rather short and strongly built man
who sat in a window and who jumped
up and grasped my hand SO cordially
that it might have suggested the re-
mark Of Nine. Navarro MARY Ander-
som about him, made, however, at a
later day, that he did not seem like a
poet, but rather like one of our agree
able Southern gentlemen" He seemed
