CHAPTER VI.
4 Mighty Poor Joke.

Mighty Poor Joke.
 Of course, one knows that there are people who in a different grade of so- ciety would be shoplifters and pick pockets When they are restrained by obligation or environment they be come a little overkeen at bridge, or take the wrong sables, or stuff a gold backed brush into a muff at recep- tion. You remember the ivory dress ing set that Theodora Bucknell had. fastened with fine gold chains. And the sensation 1t caused at the Buck nell cotillion when Mrs. Van Fire went sweeping to her carriage with two feet of gold chain hanging from the front of her wrap?
 But Anne's pearl collar was differ ent In the first place, instead of three or four hundred people, the sus- picion had to be divided among ten. And of those ten, at least eight of us were friends, and the other two had been vouched for by the Browns and Jimmy It was a horrible miX-up. For the necklace was gone-there couldn't be any doubt of that-and although, as Dallas said, it couldn't get out of the house, still, there were plenty of places to hide the thing.
 The worst of our trouble really originated with Max Reed, after all. For it was Max who made the silly wager over the telephone. with Dick Bagley. He bet five hundred even that one of us, at least. would break quarantine within the next 24 hours, and. of course, that settled 1t. Dick told it around the club as a joke, and a man who owns a newspaper heard him and called up the paper. Then the paper called up the health office, after setting up a flaming scare-head. ''Will Money Free Them? Board of Health versus Millionaire"
 It was almost three when the house settled down-nobody mad any night clothes, although finally. through Dal- las, who gave them to Anne, who gave them to the rest, we got some things of Jfmmy's-snd I was still dressed. The house was perfectly quiet, and after listening carefully, I went slow ly down the stairs. There was light in the hall. and another back in the dining room, and I got along without any trouble But the pantry, where the stairs led down. was dark, and the wretched swinging door would not stay open
 I caught my skirt in the door as I went through. and had to stop to loosen 1t. And in that awful minute [ heard some one breathing just be- side me. I had stopped to my gown, and turned my head without straightening-I couldn't have raised myself to an erect posture. for my knees were giving way under me and just at my feet lay the still glow Ing end of a matchi
 I had to swallow twice before I could speak. Then I said sharply:

 The man was so close it is a wonder had not walked into him. his voice was right at my ear.

eanarene and oxyaen.

A remarkable instance of the ad.
vantage which medical men may de
rive from chemistry has been pub.
lished in the reports of the Hospital
Hotel Dieu, at Paris. A young stu
dent wrote thesis in which he
showed that gangrene and deficiency
of oxygen were to be regarded as
cause and effect. DR.. Laugier, sur.
geon-in-chief of the hospital, having a
case Of spontaneous gangrene under
his care, proceeded to test the theory.
The patient, a man seventy-five years
of age, had the disease in one foot
one toe was mortified, and the whole
member was in danger. The diseased
part was enclosed in an apparatus
contrived to disengage oxygen con.
tinuously, and In a short time the
gangrene was arrested and the foot
recovered its healthy condition. A
singular experiment tried upon an.
other patient. equally aged, and equal.
ly successful. from which the infer.
ence follows that treatment with oxy.
gen is an effectual remedy for dis
ease which too often infests hospitals.

The Tide at Mount St. Michel.

At five in the afternoon people
gather on the causeway that connects
this islet with the French coast. to
watch the coming of the tide, one OF
the sights of the world. AS far as
the eye can reach stretches the gray
sand, silent. empty. Seven miles and
half lie between the ocean and the
rock. Presently a strange murmur per-
vades the air: it seems to come from
nowhere, and yet to be everywhere
And then far on the horizon lifts q
line of white. Every moment 1t draws
nearer, and the sound in the air swells
louder; and then with astonishing
speed up the line of crested sea, and
in a moment, where 1t reaches the
sands, there is but a space Of swirling
water. And on the wave ride in the
fishing boats that have gone out to
sea on the tide at dawn. Many q
tragedy has been caused by the swift
thrush of this true tidal wave, for.
save along narrow paths, the bottom
of this vast. strange bay is but quick
sand, and after the tide has once
turned and the sound of it's coming Is
heard, no man can hope to escape its
reach unless he be close indeed to
the mount or the shores Of the main
land.-Travel Magazine.

Latin and Greek,

The action of Amherst college In
seeking to restore Latin and Greek
to their supremacy in the scheme OF
higher education may be the begin
ming of a great reaction. Or II may
be another case of Mrs. Partington
with her broom trying to sweep back
the rising tide.-The World.
And 1t may, and doubtless will be.
neither. Latin and Greek may be re
stored to their supremacy" in AM
herst college. and perhaps to the profit
of the college and of the country.
without creating an educational reac-
tion. 1t is not at that that Amherst
seems to aim Rather in this age OF
specialized education, she is choosing
the old-fashioned classical education
as her specially. 1t might be said
that she proposes to specialize I'm a
general education which shall aim to
train sound thinkers. Latin is still
extensively taught in this conutry.
but Greek gets less and less extend

KNOTS INSTEAD OF BUTTONS
Chinese Diplomats Explanation Of the
Various Kinds Used by His
Countrymen.

A Chinese diplomat, dressed in bro
caded silk, was sitting out dance be-
side a fountain with a Bar Harbor
girl.
"Yes," he admitted. my dress is
pretty. and one queer thing about it is
that 1t has no buttons-only knots and
knotholes."
He showed her the fastenings of his
fame colored jacket.
You see?" he said. Short cords,
each with a knot at the end, and on
the other side knothole. or. as you
would say, buttonhole. That is sim
pier than buttons, simpler and easier.
Do you wear pajamas? Yes? Then
you must know that what say is So
"On my pajamas," said the girl
laughing little, II have buttons and
buttonholes instead Of knots and
knotholes."
"How foolish of you!" said the
diplomat. But what was going to
say was that the knots we employ in
place Of buttons are of many kinds,
and they have many names. There
are plum blossom and cherry blossom
knots for young girls garments. Such
you would wear. There are winter
and snow knots for the aged. Soldiers
have death knots
what kind of knots are yours?" the
young girl asked.
"Mine?" he replied. "Oh, mine are
just the usual married mans knots"
"And what are they called?" she
pursued.
Knots Of resignation" he answered
with sigh.

other day and addressed the young
woman behind the counter In this
fashion:
"I want certain book by a certain
author and both the title OF the book
and the name Of the author have es-
capped my memory. In appearance the
author looked like a mixture Of Robert

WAS INVENTOR OF voLAPUK
Johann Martin SehIeyer, German Pas.
tor, Devised That System Of
Universal Speech.

The name of Johann Martin Schley-
er. who has Just died at Constance at
the age Of 80, is now known to but a
few persons outside the number d.
rectly concerned In his work. This
German pastor was the inventor of
Volapuk, which was once put forward
with some plausible chances of sue
cess as an international language.
Schleyer's system of universal
speech was introduced to the world
in 1879. 1t was formed on the basis
Of similar artificial languages which
seek to exclude all elements not uni
versal. The sounds in volapuk are
expressed by twenty-seven letters.
which. generally speaking. ere to be
used in their Latin. italian or German
values. Words are formed from the
European languages. The noun in
Volapuk is the root of the word d.
vested Of all sounds excluded by the
rules Of the new tongue. In its final
effect this artificial speech was rath-
er q meager medium of expression.
practically incapable of any special
vocabulary. So changed by its proc
esses and rules were the roots Of the
words taken from various tongues
that they were scarcely recognizable
and had to be learned by memory.
These disadvantages of the inven.
tion did not. however, prevent 1t from
finding supporters in Europe and this
country.
