JACK'S MOTH EU-IX-LA W, Tho Pathetic Tale of a Victim of an Old Joke. Jack's mother-in-law was coming to make them u visit. Jack had married Alice down in the country, where he had jrone one summer for the lishincr. He had been so much in love with Alice that he had not paid much atten tion to her mother during their court -ahip; and. to tell the truth, he had al most forgotten aliout her since. She seemisl to Jaek a gtod old soul, but rather tiresome and poky. Now. there was nothing poky al-iut Jack's bet. Even the old women whom he know were "up-and-a-coming," as he used to say, so Alice's mother with her quiet ways and almost slavish devotion to her pretty daughter hail impressed him more as an adjunct to Alice than any thing else. And now she was coming to visit them. He had not thought of her since five months before, when he had made some excuse to get out of ac companying Alice down to see her. Alice was one of those selfish little women who often make the most de voted of wives. Just as her mother had worshiped and waited upon her she adored and petted Jack, but there was no room in her heart for any one else 'except her baby. They had been married a year now, and a little Jaek had recently cotnu to them a red-faced, bald-headed baby but Alice was very proud of him. and she wrote for his grandmother to come and see him. V'ack was the best-hearted fellow in the world, but he had been brought up very differently from these simple coun try people. Sometimes he was a little bored even by Alice, although he loved her dearly; but her mother! he was sure he could not stand that, and so he planucd to be at home us little as possi ble during her stay. The geutle old lady felt strange and out of place in Alice's home. The busy city doctor, the pompous nurse, the servants were all so different from the people she had known, and Jack she was terribly in awe of Jack. Alice was full of plans and projects for the baby, and her mother tva:, left a gr-at deal to herself. The poor old lady strayed about lonely and homesick in the great rooms, feeling that they all, even Alice, seemed like strangers to her all but little Jack. Babies are babies, rich or poor, city or country and she had nursed a good many of them in her day and she did not feel shy with little Jack. And he was part hert her little grandson. She wished that they would send the nurse away and let her care for him. She held him in her arms and rocked him and crooned an old song in a cracked little voice, quite forgetting that the dignified nurse was in the room. And the nurse's heart softened toward the dear old lady as she heard the song for her own mother had sung just such songs over her years before. It happened to be at this time a sort of between seasons for the funny men on the newspapers that is, too late for the annual ice jokes, u'd a little early for the ones about the coal-dealer so they ran in all the old mother-in-law-stories of the last decade. Alice's mother read the daily papers from end to end. There was much in them that she neither liked nor understood, but reading helped to pass the time, and she had so much time. She had always subserid for the little sheet that had come cut at "Green's Corners" every Satur lay for forty years, but that was purely local. Another man had once bid for trade there, but old Johnson, the "Ed.," had told him that he had furnished the brains for that town and had set his own type for forty years and that neither his brains nor his fingers showed any signs of giving out for some time yeL So the Bulletin went on in the old way, giving the deaths and marriages and town topics, and the mother-in-law joke had never penetrated to its columns; and thus it came that to one reader these para graphs were a novelty. She pondered much over them, poor woman. She knew that there were such women Andy Clumm's t'.'ife down at the "Corners" was a terror; and the report was that Joe James' mother-in-law made it so hot for Joe that he had to leave. But then Andy was shiftless and Joe was a drunkard. It seemed cruel to her that the men who wrote the paper rated all mothers-in-law with such as they, and she grew so sen sitive about her own relation to him that she hardly dared address Jack lest he think her a meddler. Jack read these funny stories too and the fellows joked him, and he began to pose to them as a man with a mother-in-law, for men usually like to pose as something and he was tired of being simply a "good fellow." So he began to take a great many of his dinners down-town and stay out lat at night, telling Alice and her mother that his business worried him terribly and needed his constant attention. He didn't lose any flesh over those bu-inp.s jXWvw' 81. OO and trotildes, bnt he talked nlut them a great deal and got a lot of sympathy at li imp. One day Alice's mother went down to her home on a business errand. It was rather a mysterious affair, but Alict was too much taken tip with liaby to n itiee her mother's nerv' insness, and nolaody else aVd any attention to her. At nitrhl she returned, pale and tired, w ith a little oilskin bag pinned sovurvly in her pocket. Jaek did not come home that night; he telephoned Alice that business was pressing, and then he went to the thea ter w ith some of hia friends. The next day the old lady prepared for another exjiedition. She hated to Kither Alice, so she set off alone w ith out telling her plans. She was not used to the city and after many mistakes and much walkidg she reached J ack's ofiiee. She was shown into his private room. It did not look as though he were suffering for want of money. There were soft rugs and luxurious chairs, and the box of cigars on the table was of the very best. Two of his friends were with him and the air was dense with smoke.. A bottle of wine stood open and it must have Wen that the fumes of that had made him a little dull, for be could scarcely comprehend tliat hia mother-in-law stood before him. When at last he did understand it and she bad w hispered her errand a flush of shame went from his forehead to his very toes. She was sorry for him. She, whose name he had made a jest with these friends of his; she was afraid that she had been a Vurden an extra expense to him. She knew- hLs business worried him, and she had mortgaged her little home and had brought him the money to help him out of his em barrassment; and she was planning to live carefully enough to lift the mort gage so that in time little Jack should have a home whatever happenod. One by one her words worked them selves into his tnuddled brain; and a dim vision of the little one-story-and-a-half cottage, where he had courted Alice, came before him. He put his arms around her and led her to a chair, tell ing her that he could not talk of it just then, but that she had saved him. He didn't say from what, and if she thought it was from financial ruin it was just as w ell. Then he put on his hat aud coat, and. calling a carriage, said he would go home with her. He helped her gently into the carriage, and then excused him self for a moment aud went back to tell the "boys" that the baby was sick and that Alice was worried and had sent for him to come home. Chicago Tribune. NEW DEMANDS OF SCIENCE. Larger Opportunities for fcolentlBe Re search ISeeded Every large university which follows the development of modern science ami mathematics is compelled to add new courses of study continually to the cur riculum in order that the special inves tigator shall have the means of pur suing research. In spite of the activity in large universities, thought of m-xlern scientists is even more progressive, aud it is possible for the complaint to come that universities do not yet offer wide enough opportunities for study. Such a charge is made by Cleveland Abbe in the Atlantic Monthly. His plea ia for a greater recognition of the claims of terrestrial physics, which embrace the problems 'in which we consider the lami, the ocean and the atmosphere, re spectively, as uniti. or as parts of the greater unit which astronomer call the cartlu " The branches of the sub ject comprise many interesting fields of modern scientific research. Already the conditions of the interior of the earth and the reaction of that upon the sur face are the subjects of experimental work. The crust of the earth forms an important branch of study. Geology may observe phenomena, but it han not yet been explained whether the general locations of the features of the conti nents and ocean 1 ,-ds have always reen as now, and what the mechanism is of the rise and fall of mountain chains. The subject of earthquakes or seismol o;ry has not yet been satisfactorily studied. Nutation and rotation of the earth and the mysterious forces of ter restial magnetism are still secrets held fast by nature. The relation lietween the ocean and the land, and the prob lems of the ocean, which forms the branch of oceanography, offer a series of particularly interesting problems. The atmosphere is a part of the earth, and great progress will be made in the future in the prediction of daily weather, of extensive climatic changes and droughts and floods. Our signal serv ice and State weather service would un doubtedly be improved by collegiate. supporL In this rapid review of the suggestions made in an important ar ticle it may be seen that quick and lively scientific demands are pressing the universities to recognition of great fields of study. The day of exclusive devotion to ancient literature and the classics has passed, nnd it is already a question whether the universities will maintain an equilibrium between sci ence nnd the arts. Modern curiosity is nnlKtnndcd, and the world holds great secrets for the earnest student. Boston Journal.

He was cross, and would take the best place in the room and' no one could make him leave it will ingly. At last grandma, much troubled, said: "Sir, this dog is so troublesome we must send him away. The dog got up and looked at her in sorrow and went out of the room. In a few days they heard that this dog, whom every body knew, had gone to the poor-house, where the town's poor people were taken care of, and stranger still, on Sat urdays, when many of the inmates went to see friends, this dog also went home to see "sir" and "ma'am," stayed awhile and then went back again aad lived there ever after.

A Nice Question of Ethics for Read ers to Decide. Jerry and Pete were two industrious mechanics. They lived in a fourth ward tenement, and each had a couple of children to support, ljesides their wives who. albeit, were not unac quainted with a noble art frequently practiced by char-women. Jerry and Pete were hard workers; they worked far into the night, and oc casionally the thin mists of dawn had begun to break on the narrow city pave ments Wfore their labors would cease. Nobody would say that theirs was not a hard-earned pillow. Sometimes they did not toil in vain. It depended largely upon the police. It was a chiily night iu November that this horny-handed pair planned the burglary of a certain safe in the estab lishment of a furniture concern on the West Side. On the evening in question the book-keeper had had a wrangle with his accounts. "I can't make head or tail of this," he said to the senior memk-r of the firm, "but I know every thing is all right. An error of several hundred dol lars has been carried over from each daily footing but where the error be gins or ends I haven't found out." The fact was the monthly sales had been extraordinarily large, and a page of the balance had leen mislaid. The head book-keeper spent an hour in again casting up both the entries of himself and his subordinates after the establishment closed its doors for the day. Then he went home for his supper, determined to locate the deficit if he didn't get a wink of sleep ih::t n-ght. Hook-keepers, it must 1- rcmem bcrcih have simrularly M-n-.it ive on.-an-istus, susceptible to the slightest atom of any thing w hich reflects upon their probity or skill. At half past eight he returned and commenced anew his critical calcula tions. He worked precisely two hours, at the end of which time he suddenly slapped his forehead and exclaimed: "Great Scott! Why haven't I looked through the safe for a missing sheet? Ten to one Weeks forgot to number them!" He turned over the pages of the bal ance in hia hand and, sure enough, the usual numerical mark of designation in the uptier left-hand corner was want ing. In all likelihood one page, or per haps two. had slipped in some remote corner of the safe. The safe was a -large one, partially receding into the wall, and containing all the papers documents and several days' receipts in cash and drafts of the Brm. The book-keeper, in his efforts to un earth the lost page was obliged to in trude his entire lody into the safe. Fearful lest the candle he held -houid attract attention from the street, show ing out as it did in glaring relief against the black recesses of the safe, before entering he drew the door slightly ajar. As he stepped in the tail of his coat probably caught on an angle of the huge riveted hinges of the lock. The massive gate swung to as if it weighed Oo more than a single pound and the book -keeper was a prisoner. He heard a resonant click, that was all, and his candle went out There is nothing especially remark able about the incident tragic as it certainly must have been to the un tjrtunate wretch inside. Many men have been imprisoned in safes before. Hut this reflection. would hardly soothe the agony of that horrible momenL The book-keeper at the outset lost his presence of mind. lie fought like a caged demon, after first exerting al most superhuman strength against the four sides of the iron tomb. Then his body gave out, and without for an in stant losing consciousness he found himself sitting in a partially upright posture unable to stir hand or foot. At that instant, when hours seemed to have elapsed, the drum of his ear, now abnormally sensitive, w as almost split into fragments. A frightful mo notonous clangor rent the interior of the safe. The book-keeper used to say after ward that a second's deviation of char acteristic thought and he would have gone mad. Stronger minds in a parallel situation would have collapsed. But a weaker personality clings more strongly to hope. Only weak individuals while in tbe act of drowning catch at btraws. As the book-keeper felt himself grad ually growing faint from want of air his revivified hope led him to deliber ately crash his first into the woodwork with which the interii ir of the safe was fitted, in secretaire fashion, one drawer being built above another. As may have liecn conjectured, the noise which smote the book-keeper's ear was that of a drill. Although keen ly distinguished from the inside, the 60und was practically smothered on the nutsijje of the vault. At one end of the drill was a cavity rapidly growing larger in one of the steel panels. At its other end was a heavy, warty fist, part of the anatomy of Pete, the industrious mechanic Tetc held the drill while his friend Jerry pounded it in. Pretty soon the two burglars became aware that a terrible commotion was going on within the safe. It near ly drove them into fits.
