Charles Harcourt was one of tho most
intrepid habitues of tlio Clinttouti Rouge
and La Omulo Clrr.ik'rc; in fact of
all those chorpograiiiiic establishments
which tho l'iirisiun prixetto visits regu
larly in order to lose her heart find not
infrequently her ropy checks und the
freshness of her youth.
Ilnreourt protended to study medicine,
and it was unions tliese pretty nirls
sellers of flowers, embroiderers of linen,
and painters' models that he managed
to forget the terrors of the hospital and
the scenes the surgical amphitheater.
Charles Hnrcourt hud just arrived tit
the time of life when a soft down shows
on the lip, when love knocks at tho
breast, Bnd when the heart resembles a
lusty tree, full of vigor, from which has
fallen as yet neither leaf nor fruit.
The trombones of tho orchestra roar,
like thunder on a stormy sea; the vio
lins scream like sea gulls above tho
waves: the music rolls and growls liko
some hungry beast. All is confusion.
White shoulders and gold lace gleam
through the heavy air. The innocent
and the guilty dance together in the
same delirious motion.
While the dancers turn- and whirl,
advancing wildly and as wildly retreat
ing, far in a corner sits a slender girl
watching the dance with an air of sad
ness. Her mournful eyes follow the
crazy motions of the crowd with aston
ishment, and a light sigh moves the
folds of mull on her breast.
In the iridut of this indescribabla
confusion, this pellmell of figures and
voices, appears that of a handsome boy
of twenty-two, remarkable for his vivac
ity and the boldness of his speech and
gesture. Finally, when the violins have
ended their agonizing cries and the
lamps are dying before the oncoming
daylight, tiiis boy, whom his friends sa
lute as Harcourt, leaves the ball, a new
conquest upon his arm it is the slender
brunette of the corner.
Charles Harcourt appeared no nioro
at the balls of tho Latiu quarter, but
spent his days at L'Ecolo do Medicine,
passing his first examinations with dis
tinction. In ono of those fascinating
little houses such are Deranger pre
tends to have inhabited at twenty
Charles made his homo, guarding jeal
ously the dangerous happiness of a
union contracted without tho help of
le maire and which is called morgauutiu
to avoid the use of a less delicate phrase.
His conquest of the ball was named
Mina. She was a good and affectionate
child, and in cpito of the anacreontic
quadrilles of tho Latin quarter, she was
innocent. She had kept her heart iu
taet. It was her solo economy. Charles
and Jlina loved ono another li'uo two of
La Fontaine's doves. Hut Mina was n
consumptive, mid Charles read with af
fright the death of Ids happiness i:i the
paling face of his beloved.
His care of her was untiring; but this
implacable malady never releases, and
soon in a kiss Charles received his mis
tress's last sigh. Mina died in tho hos
pital; her long illness having exhausted
their feeble resources, and Charles had
the cruel courage to deliver the body of
his beloved to the investigations of the
pathologist. Ho wished to pursue, even
in the flesh, this rival who had killed
her. He made uso of a cynical usage to
preserve the skull. This, with a plaster
mask molded upon the emaciated body
of the dead girl, was all that remained
to him.
Mina's loss affected Charles profound
ly. Out of a character frivolous and
careless, devoted only to coarse pleas
ures, had grown a deep and serious love.
This honest and generous affection had
stifled the germs of evil. Mina dead,
he was seized as by a vertigo, and ho
plunged into the abyss. Ho found him
solf face to face with evil, and threw to
this monster the rest of his youth.
In this ocean of (aha pleasures the re
membrance of Mina was drowned, and
a petulant little grisette called Mariette
took her place. One night in November
Mariette and one of hor friends, Charles,
and one of his companions wore together
in a little house on tho Hue Gres. The
night was cold and sinister; masses of
heavy clouds were driven across a gray
sky, tho moon showed her mounful face
only at intervals, sudden showers beat
upon the windows, and the wind howled
at the cracks.
These four young people drank and
sang, unaffected by tho storm and their
strange environment. It was the strange
medley of the student's lifo that showed
in the small room hero signs of work,
and there the broken bottles of a drink
ing bout. A sniull table held a dried
tibia, a pile of medical works, some
empty wine bottles and somo articles of
the toilet. There, too, wub tho plaster
cast of the dead Mina, a figure slender
to incageruesa, the eyes cavernous and
empty, the lips distorted into a painful
inilu, the plaster discolored by the kisses
placed upon those lips in eternal fare
well. Upon the chimney were a caudle,
a small clock and a human skull. At
one side a tiny couch, on the walls racks
for pipes and some client) litkoirraDhs.
Mariette and her friend Hose lounged
about in untidy dishubillo. Earnest
mudo a pretenso of study, while Charles.
dulled by the warm and heavy air of
rue room, leaned on the long table iu
silence. It was a group worthy of the
busii or uaiiot.
"What is the matter with Charles?"
cried Ernest, shutting his book noisily;
"tie is as sober as a merchant. '
He is thinking of Mina," said Mari
ette, bitterly.
"When a mistress is buried, that ought
to end the affair," said Rose, decidedly.
"But often, even whon I am here, I
find him sitting beforo that plaster cast,"
said Mariolle, sullenly.
"Oh, it's perfectly platonic," laughod
Ernest.
"Bahl" said Rose; "you don't object
to a plaster rival, do you?"
"To tho health of Mina," cried Ernest
Charles looked up quickly. These
jibes cut him to tho heart.
"Mina was a good girl," he said.
"That remains to be seen," cried Marl
etto; "I am a good girl, too, am I uot?"
"You will be when you are dead,"
mocked Ernest.
"Charles," said Marictto, "confess that
yon love Mina still!"
"No; I do not!"
"More than you love me?"
"No, not I lovo you."
"Very well, then prove it. There is
Hint horrid skull that you keep as n
sacred relic. I've seen it grinning up
there long enough. Let us niako the
punch in it!"
"Ah, that's an original idea!" cried
Ernest. "Mariette, you have tho imag
ination of a poet."
"So bo it then," said Charlos, and
rising he placed tho skull in the middle
of tho table.
"I am tho one to light it," said Mari
ette triumphantly, pouring the liquor
into this ghastly cup.
Suddenly thj punch was afire, the
tongue of blue flame mixing amorously
with the i nioko of tho cigars. Au odor
Deadly and tnephitic exhaled from tho
skull, riiosphorescent flames rose and
fell in strange colors of decoy, and tho
smoke roso iu purple spirals into tho air.
Chailesfelt a shiver c'u'.ch him in its
coM lingers from head to foot. Mariette
showed her teeth iu the horrible joy of
a secured vengeance. The rain fell
heavily outside, the windows shook.
Little by little drunkenness overcame
these ribald lx-ingH who jested with tho
sacred mysteries of death. Then Marictto
began to sing a song composed by
Charles for Mina, mockingly begging
him not to weep.
As Charles heard tho words of tho
sor.g chanted in her pi! ihva voice, his
heart, beat fast, something r?o in his
throat, his voice failed and his head fell
heavily forward upon the table. His
sudden movement overturned tho skull,
and the burning brandy touched the
thin folds ef Marietta's dress. Her awful
cry of terror was lost iu the flames
which enveloped her.
Charles remained in a delirious con
dition. Idiotic cries buret from his lips,
and in Fito of himself, he rested his
eyes upon the mask of plaster, whose
eyes remained iixed upon his with a
steady peisistence that huld his own.
He began to repeat the words of his
early love and thoso of Mina when she
was happy with him, and finally thoso
that she had uttered when she felt the
end of all their happiness approaching:
"I love you so dearly, my beloved one.
I cannot pive yon up. I shall come back
sometimes at night to speak to you."
Feveriidi and trembling ho drank greed
ily the last glut: of punch at his elbow.
Suddenly the c.-itt detached itadf from
the wall and came forward through tho
clouds f smoke. II 3 felt tho sweat
f tart from every pore.
A sigh fell upon tho air; lie felt it pass
his cheek, moist and terrible; a breath
from tho tomb. A cry struggled to his.
lips, but died there. His voice choked
in his throat. The figure approached,
and the student recognised tho beloved
of his youth. Silent tears wero Cowing
from tho hollow sockets of tho eyes, and
as she bent toward him Charles felt her
lips upon hi-i forehead lips as hard aud
cold as marble. Then the phantom
raised her hand, pointing with her
skeleton linger to the clock, which was
at the stroko of & As Charles felt his
heart fail iu his breast and his veins turn
to ice the vision faded.
Day was just beginning; the fi'-st rays
of a bright sun lit up tho windows "of
the little room in the Rue Gres. Charles
awoke from a profound sleep. He looked
about sleepily upon tho confusion which
surrounded him and endeavored to recall
tho events of the past night.
"These glasses and empty bottles; that
is natural," he muttered, "and I have
slept here on tho table, but what time
is it?"
He walked dizzily to the chimney.
The hands were at the hour of 3,
and tho clock had stopped. He remem
bered tho frightful vision of the night
and the accident to Mariette, and he
hurried to the adjoining room.
"Mariette, Mariette!" he cried. No
body answered. Charles oponod the
door violently. Ernest and Rose were
upon their knees beside the bed.
"Mariette!" cried Charles.
"She is dead," replied Ernest.
"Dead?"
"Yes, at 8 o'clock."
"Mina is avenged!" said Charlos sink
ing upon his knees. Adapted for Ar

There is ono btory that will !a historic
of a call which t!:u Priueo of V.'ale once
made upon Tennyson. II had a new
pago boy, who knew not the prince, aud
who had been warned against admitting
strangers to tho houso on any pivtey.t,
Ono day tho prince walked over from
Osborne to ee the poet. He gainod the
entrance, which was of itself no easy
task, and knocked at tho door. "Mus
ter's not in," ho was told. Tho prince
detecting that this was a proniiscuou
answer, which it was tho pago boy's in
structions to give to all comers, said,
"Will you kindly tell him the Prince of
Wales wishes to seo him?"
The boy eyed tho visitor with an irri
tatingly knowing look, and replied
"Wulker!" which was equivalent to say
ing, "Do you see anything green in my
eye?" This rude remark amused the
prince very much, but the boy would
certainly have slammed the door in his
face if Tennyson himself, who had been
listening to the conversation, had not
put in au aniwarance and welcomed the
prince to his Freshwater home. New

THE FIRST BALLOONIST. ,
The Story of tin Aaoent-.lt Wee Mud
la 1T8S.
Ths first aeronaut who fell victim to
Lis desire of exploring the upper air
was Pi 1 litre da Rosier, who, a few
months after ths balloon had been in
vented, declared his purpose of ascend
ing in one and allowing it to take him
whither it would. The French King,
however, frowned npon tho project and
sent Pilatre word that ths experiment
should be made by sending up two con
demned criminals. But Pilatre indig
nantly refused this offer. " What I"
said ho, shall vile criminals have the
rjlory of being the first to navigate tho
fields of air ? Never, while Tilatro do
Rosier draws breath 1"
lie agitated this subject until the en
tire court bocame interested in his fa
vor, and then at last the king yielded,
and Tilatro, in November, 1783, madoa
perfectly successful ascent. Benjamin
Franklin was a witness of the spectacle,
and said, when somo one asked his
opinion of it : "I have soen a child
born which may one day be a man."
Two yoars aftor, another aeronaut
crossed tho channel from Dover to Cal
ais, aud Pilatre, spurred on by jealousy,
doolarod his purpose of crossing it in
the opposite direction.
His friends endeavored to dissuado
him from the projoct, bolieving that tho
machine had not been sufficiently per
fected, but nothing could calm his en
thusiasm. In Jnno a balloon was ready, but it
may easily be soen that Tilatre was not
very confident of success, since ho
pushed back an army officer who would
have stepped into the car with him,
saying gontly :
' Monsieur, in our present enterpriso
we are suro of nothing. I can not ac
cept you, if I would have my conscionce
at peace."
The balloon rose majestically and
tended at once toward tho sea. Pres
ently it turnod, but agaiu drifted back
in the direction of the water. Then it
is probablo that Pilatre endeavorod to
descend, iu order to reach a mora fa
vorable current of air, but in opening
the valve, according to one account, ho
uufortuuately made a rent in tho bal
loon itielf. lustantly ho was dashed to
the ground, a distance of several thousand
feet, and was found there, doad and
frightfully mutilated.
He is still one of the heroes of
France, and an inscription to his mem
ory may bo read 011 the spot where ho
made his fatal attempt. Youth's Com
panion. A Naturalist's Fleas.
A naturalist, who is both an ardent
student in his branch of science, aud
absent-minded to a degree which keeps
his family ou the alert, rocently cele
brated his silver wedding. Many guests
wero invited for tho occasion, and the
house was mado ready for tho reception
of tho company.
Just as the lirst guest arrived one of
the daughters was sent to summon tho
father, who had not come from his
study. Cure had been taken that ho
should bo reminded to dress in time, so
ho was all ready, and at tho uumnions
of the daughter ho caroo to tho parlor.
When they entered tho room tho
daughter noticed that her father carried
iu his hand a small wooden box, and as
he shook hands with tho uoarest gnest
she saw him drop it. The cover rolled
off, but sho gave a sigh of relief when
sho saw that tho box was apparently
empty.
The naturalist, however, uttered a cry
of dismay, and instantly went down on
his bauds and knees iu a vaiu attempt
to gather up something.
Have you spilled anything, father ?"
she asked.
Spilled anything!" he echoed, iu
evident indignation over her calm tone.
" I have lost fifty flees that I have just
received from Egypt 1"
The effect of this intelligence on tho
family was nothing in comparison to
the effect the catastrophe had upon the
company before the evening was over,
and the only thing that the naturalist
said to his friends in answer to their
congratulations upon his happy mar
ried life, so his daughter declared af
ter all was over, was to ask that if
they catriod away any of his Egyptiaa
floes they would return the insects to
him.
About Airing Bed.
In airing beds the most thorough,
careful housekeoper often errs through
her very thoroughness. She will shako
the sheets, blankets, etc., and hang
them out of tho window aud over chairs,
having them all exposed as much as
possible to the direct rays of tho sun
and in the strongest breeze and this is
just what should be done. Then tho
pillows will be taken up and shaken
and thumped until they are soft and
fluffy and placod in the very sunniest
spot, aud this is all wroug. Tho sun
will draw tho oil from the feathers,
and the pillows will have a rancid, dis
agreeable odor. Expose those to tho
air daily, be as thorough as you pleaso
in this, and place the pillow slipsi.it lie
sun 11 you wish, but do not make tho
mistake of giving tho pillows, bolsters,
cushions or anything containing feath
ers a long sun bath, or you will do
tuem more Harm than good.

He was a quiet-looking, elderly man,
in a pastoral sort of black broadcloth
suit aud a felt hat with a broad brim,
such us are worn by "colonels aud ma
jors," snys tho Pittsburg Dtxpatch.
Next to him iu tho car sat two young
men, who were telling stories about
personal experiences on the road.
One of them related vith much gusto
tin encounter which ho had recently
l:a l Willi a aesporato Western man, the
v eapous being cards. The game was
poker, tho special occasion was that
old familiar "big jackpot" which so of-
ten figures in profane history, and tho
two principals wero each armed with
straight flushes.
"It was a dollar-limit game," ro-
marked tho young mau, "and wo bet
sixty-seven times, and then I called
him. Ho had a sequoneo flush, queon
high, aud I had one kiug high. You
should have heard him swear."
I noticed that the old mau listened
with great attention to the story, and at
its conclusion he exclaimed with much
candid astouishmout : " You called
him V"
Tho youngster blushed aud acknowl
edged his guilt.
"Well 1 well 1" said tho old man,
shaking his head, "these times is sut
teuly not what they useu tubbo. You
see, I cum from Tennessoo, and wo
aiu't up to this way er doiu' things.
Why, I'm playin a hand yit thot wuz

and ho sighed a long sigh of patient
resignation, while the two youngsters
aud the other man in tho smokiug-coui-partmout
regarded him as oue worthy
of veneration, oven if it was ouly as 0

A youth at school in Scotland, who
