CHECKMATED.
TTre, Gonre,n aald Ckarlea Lambert
to his brother, "ia Mr. Clayton's check for
my month's salary. A you're going ts
the bank, I wish yon would draw the
money for me. Tm gotog to the country
this evening, and have some preparation
to make."
"All right, Charley," applied (he otber.
folding the check and putting It tn hi
iwcket.
Oeorere and Charles Lambert were
ft.ro. bens devotedly attached to each other,
-.n'' boih employed as clerk in tbe estab
bbn e;.tof Mr. Clayton, a rich Importing
tueichnnt.
iGeorge Lambert was not paaains a very
efc'erful exet.icg In hla brother's absence
aud was jnst thinking of walking over j
Kd fpend:nfc an hour with EtheUnd Halo,
v hen Herbert Randall called. j
TJw vititor was Mr. Clayton's confiden
tial cuauager and proa pee tire partner,
rumor taid. George Lambert looked a
little pur priced at his entrance, far Mr.
Randall was not inclined te be over
rociabie wfth his inferiors In the booM.
With a stiff how he took the seat whleh
Georpc offered, while tbe latter waited to
be informed of the object of the call,
" You pittsenled a check at the bank
this afternoon," said Mr. Randall, look
ing sternly at George, who wondered who
was coming.
I presented Mr. Clayton cheek for a
hundred dollitrs," said the young man,
and received the money on it; it wa all
rljrht, I suppose."
Mr. Randall shook his head gravely.
What? is there anything wrong ebon
itr asked George, with visible trepida
tion. It i a forgery! " said Mr. Randall
A forgery I " exclaimed George taa-
rotsible! my broth "
fee checked himself suddenly. He was
about to explain how he gut the check;
but t lie position in which the disclosure
wb . Id place his brother flashed upon him,
and at once determined his course.
Mr. Randall, he remembered, bad been
loo;.! k over some papers at a desk net
far ft oi a Charles and himself, at the time
br;, .received the check, but it waa ro
rvroBablc that be had paid attention t
the fa t. There waa no due by whtcb tee
feUo instrument, which was payabl t
be a: er, could be traced to anyone bat the
pet sou who had presented It. The known
ftwts, George Lambert knew, implicated
Bipuelf alone. If ho kept his month
dot-ed, no breath of suspicion could fait
upon hla brother. That the check wa m
foigery, Mr. KaudaU's atatement left him
no roo'm to doubt; and, if it waa, hi
biother, ho profetsed to have received it
diiectiy fiom Mr. Clayton, could not be
it i orai.t of Us character. Charle. he
kicw, waa a Uitle given to extravaganoe.
Bint initftt, he feared, in aa unguarded
k. i.u. cut, been tempted Into crime,
ci which it broke hi heart to believe
h.in guilty, trot, from the conequencw of

the n.orey, but "

Kieious conduct.

and many grateful axprenelen n the

Three years sped ; Herbert Randall bad

HOW TO ttXU 0XZ8XTT.

In the Vonrth Congreae of Orrmas
physicians tbe trut subject dlscmod waa

that drugs were of Itotte sat Uu tn radfjo
mg the amount fat, and that on entire
change In the regimen t&cloding both
obonge of diet d of the manner of Mr
tng was necessary.
Any roetSnd which reduced the general
mntsUion, and ton removed Cat. wa a
failure : the fat alone mt be removed.
The method ran not require the lndlvt
dnal to give up hi business during treat
ment, else if would not be geaeraily ap
plicable. The method must o oapable of
being rontlnued tndeflnttIy wtthont pro

prodUpoaod to eorpulenco by heredity or
constitution mnat keep up tbe diet for a
long time.
One method 1 to cut off all fatty food.
Bat a carbohydrate may be changed in
to fat in the body, thl t not reasonable.
The object la rather to prevent the forma
tion of fat in the body. To soon re this ft
la necessary to retrnlate the proportion of
albumtnou. storehy, and fatty foods, so
tnat perfect nutrition shall bo secured,
but no excess of fat produced. The
necemary amount of tat for a healthy man
ia 149 grain per diem.
If thl I reduced one-half a port ef the
amount necessary for nutrition win h
taken from the body to eompencote fnr
the reduced allowance in the food, and
thu the excess of fat may be removed.
Under thl system the Individual doe not
suffer the diHtress which is felt by those
who axe cut off from aU fatty food, and
the results are more succeosfrtl and agree
able than thorn of the Banting system
Tbe amount of carbohydrMos ta to be
reduced so that do surplus above bodily
needs shall be taken.
In the Banting system the diet t chief
ly nitrogenous, which often causes in
digestion. Kbetem gives nitrofenone
food, with the reduced allowance of starch
and fnt In sufficient quantity to keep op
the general nutriOiin and working
strength, but not in such ammants as to
overload and embarrass the organ whiob
digest pmteid. The necessity of mn
eular exercise of sufficient force to pr-?-dooo

This system has niet, with ai. mval tn

Hennaberg, in difcufinK ahj-t.
approached it from a different side. and.
by a review of the metlmds advrptrd In
fattening cattle, sought to deduce the
I rule necessary to be observed In voM5ng
; the accumulation of fat m man. The
general discussion elicited varying views
upon the physiology of digestion, but all
agreed that the use of medicine for re
doeing corpulence was to he avotded.

In personal appearance Turkish women

Their complexions are jronerally fair,
and of the most delicato softness, owing
doubtleafi to the oonfttant nae of the bath,
as well a the protection of the yashmak,
or veil, without which they never go
nbroad.
Kxquisitoly arche.1 yehrows are so
oesentLui to their ideas of beauty that
they axe m-ver contntoil till, by repeated
application of artincial niean, they raise
their brow to a lofty semicircle.
The tips of finders and toes are fre

The entarry, or dress, w a long robe,
trailing about a yard behind the person,
end resemble much the morning dreon
1 of a European Udy, only the entarry is
! rompotHil of three skirts, as it were,
i open in front and on the two sides, the
I latter openings extending to the hips.
; The front skirts are not thrown open, aa
i in the European fashion, but brought
I together and buttoned up, the enls
gathered up between in uiuiw ami
thrown back, which, pressing upon the
skirt behind, serve to form the trin.
When the ladies are under no restraint

are either tucked up to their girdles or
held in tlieir hands, and thus they walk
about the house in a free and easy ntyle.

! are, however, immediately dropped in
i the presence, of visitors, as a European

' As no one enters the houno in the same
' shoes art are ufsed in the streets, and their
dwellings are scrupulously clean, there is
tittle or nothing to soil their trailing robes.
The gentlemen always wear galoches, or
overshoes, which they take off at the
threshold, and even the European phy
sicians who visit the harems profession
ally are obliged to provide themselves
with light suppers, which they slip over
heir boota.
The shalvar, or trousers, are made
Try ample, and axe not fastened a'xut
iho ankles, as represented on the stage
or at fancy balls; but being made much
longer than the person, they are secured
just below the knee, and the extra length
is allowed to fall about the ankles in
graceful folds, assuming the semblance
f a skirt. The upper part being gather
ex! about the waist, serve the purposes of
a bustle, giving the wearer a graceful
fcournttre,
A belt or a scarf encircle the waist, a
coqnetish coiffure, surmonnts the head,
and embroidered slippers adorn the feet.
These slippers are worn slipshod to fa

Their movement are graceful, their
forms being under no artificial restraint,

Their gait is also peculiar. They do
not move about on tiptoe, or walk in
measured and firm steps, but glide a! otit
softly in a dignified manner, as if " skim
ming the earth," In a sort of glissade
which ia considered lady-like in their own
estimation.
Their costume, aocordmg to Oriental
tasta, always corunnting of long flowing
robes, may he supposed to admit of no
change. But on the contrary, the ladies,
having Kttle other occupation, deUiit in
varyinjr the shape and style of their dress.
I Fashion, therefore, is as prevalent in the
! East as it is In the West ; and aa it is in
; U other countries regulated by the

Sometimes tbe hair is worn long, again

' cut of the neck of a dress known as the
" Pompadour," which style that lady has
doubtless borrowed from the Turkish
' bfkUes.
Rometimes the entarry is worn high

; much of the bust, but never the shoulders.
A feB (not foal with flossy tassel is one
day the mode, and a fantastic turban is

' The sleeve of the dress are long and

1 Sometime a heavy cashmere shawl
j entwines their waist, and at others a
1 simple sash or belt with a clasp encircles
the cemture.
j The sides of the entarry are sometime
left open to the hips, to allow the heavy
ernbroidery on the shalvar to appear, and
again they are dosed down to below the
nee.
Sometimes their drespes are laden with
heavy embroidery, passementerie, and
old lace, and at other all trimmings are
tipeined with, and they appear in a
naive simprtciry. Harper' Bazar.

Clergy nana.
The prince of the three-card monto
and bunco men in Virginia is a man
named Skivingtxm. He tolls some very
interesting anecdotes. He picked up a
ciergyman who was on a visit to the
capital for the first time. He invited him
to witness tbe explosion of some mythi
cal patent torpedoes under several equally
mythical old hulks across the Potomac
The cleygyman went, and they met the
customary coterie of three-card-monte
men, and pretty soon the usual cattle
em er ine war or Earaiac a I ., I
drover came along, apparently drunk and 1
displaying a big roll of money. The j
game was, of course, three-card monte, (
and the drover recklessly bet with his ;
confederate and lost a considerable sum. j
Skivington showed the clergyman how ;
the drover was being cheated and invited
him to take a hand and win some money, i
The clergyman, however, had con- ,
scientious scrupies against gambling, but ;
finally Skivington made a proposition to
him, saying that the drover would cer
tainly be Bwin.lled out of all his money
by the sharpers and suggesting that it
would be doing a Christian act to win
his money, get his address and then
place the winnings in the tiank to hi
credit, where he could recover them
when he was sober.
This looked like a charitable act, so
the clergyman gave Slcivington his pock
etbook containing several hundred dol
lars, and it was ventured on the cards
and lost. SkivinL,-ton was profuse in his
apologies and regrets, and while the
drover was gathering in his money a
stranger appeared on the scene with a
very wicked looking double-barreled
gun? He waa furious at the discovery
that gambling had been going on on his
land, and started towr.rd a house a hun
dred yard away, where, he said, a con
stable resided. It was exp.ained to the
clergyman that the statutes of Virginia
impose a penalty of two years upon ail
persons detected and convicted of the
crime of gambling, and no sooner had
the bogus farmer taken a dozen stej
toward the house than the clergyman
made a dash for the river,foiiowel c.ose
ly by 8kiin,on. They jimtjuul into a
boot and rowed back to Washington, the
minister actually thanking the gambler
for havine saved him from arrest find
disgrace, so little did he su.spect the real
character of his companion.
Skivington hail another adventu-e
with a lawyer, under similar circum
stances; but the lawyer even risked hia
watch and returned to Wa-slnr'Tor. ab
solutely penniless. When the bous
farmer appeared with the shot gnn. tlie
lawyer gave one yell and mai!e toward
Long Bridge, a distance of some five
miles. He ran like a deer through the
mud, and as it was raining he arriv.d
in Washington wet to the skin. He is
an intimate friend of Secretary Lamar,
and told that official all adout his expe
rience at the Arlington. The good narnred
Secretary laughed until he cried, and
then frankly toid hi legal friend that he
had been swindled. The case was put
in the hands of the detectives sn.l they
recovered the goln watch, but were,
of course, unahie to get back a suigle
dollar of the money.

The above advertisement appeared in a
Washington paper in February, 1885. A
few day subsequently another advertise
ment appeared, offering a reward ot $100
for tbe recovery of the brooch and no ques
tions asked. Tbe loser thor.ght, perhaps,
that tbe reward was not sufficient, for an
other advertisement followed offering WOO
Teward. It proved of no avail, however,
at the time, and the owner gave up tbe
brooch aa Irrevocably lost. Now come
tlie fequeL
A Washington young lady wa vistttng
some friends in Philadelphia. Among
her acquaintance wa a young physician,
who, in the course of conversation one
evening, told her of a peculiar case that
he had a thort time before. He wa has
tllv called one day to attend th ick
child of an ignorant and poor Frenchman I
who had come to Philadelphia from
Washington. The man was so poor that
he had postponed summoning a physician 1
until he feared the child would die, as h j
had no money to pay a physician fee.
Consequently, the physician found th I
child past recovery. He was called too late, j
He did all In his power, however, to save
the little one; sat by the bedside and
worked and watcLed. but all In vain, j
Tbe Frenchman, although overcome with j
grief at his loss, was very grateful to the
coctor for his unremittinn efforts, and.
telling him that there was no money In i
the houBe, slipped into his band a lady's I
brooch, the only means he hid of paying :
him. The doctor put It into his pocket
without looking at it- He supposed it j
could be of little value, and he didn't care i
to mortify the poor Frenchman by exsrn- 1
ining it in his presence. On reaching his j
office, however, the flash of the stone set
ting almost convinced him that tbe Jew Is j
were genuine diamonds, and when he j
saw Tiflany's stamp on the Imck he no
longer doubled. He took it to Ballcy, J
Hanks & liidJle's, where he was told that
the stones were very' valuable, and that j
the brooch was worth something over
tl.OOO.
Retnrnlnp to the Frenchman to inquire ,
how such a valuable article came into
his pohsession. the doctor learned that j
one night while in Washington the
Frenchman whs employed to take care of
thi coi.tleman's co: -room at an elegant
enieumiiiiient friven at one of the hand
Fomt residences in the West Knd. Ite
in the evening he f..niid it cccespary to go
out on the pavement to find the carriarar
of ot;e of the guests. In front of the
house he trod on something hard, and
lm'iiif.i; downww It glitter. He picked
ii up, und putting It in his pocket at
len' ffi. to his errand. He did not dream
of the value of his find even after exam
s', mit it later. Milieequently he went to
?r. ItcHstsn, the French Minister, tint
1 Mild pet no advice from him as to what
he t-l'.otild do and so retained it.
The doctor a katisfied that the French
mr.n v. as igt.orant of the value of the
jewel or else he would never have sriven
it to him for his small fee. He decide.!
rfler thinking the matter over to Veep it.
thi:.V!"g ihnt he would be much more
li'it'-ly to find the owner than the French
nan" The young lady to whom the story
ves told and nho was mnch interested
com i'i throw no light on the matter. On
her return borne fhe repented the story In
the family circle. Hersis-ter.on beaxins; it.
said : "Why, tnat loss was advertised in a
jatrfT Mime time ago. I remember it
very well, for there was a very large r-
ard oriereo for the brooch."
Ihe returned traveller, thinking rhe
nvuht unravel the niyt-tery, went st onew
to the newspaper office snd hunted
throi.gh the riles. She found the two ad.
