Then the old irentle man, f'oitifr at laisre through his lefral talk, tried to make out the sale was a lottery and illciral. and appealed to the captain: but Potter said he sold the birds as ost riches, lie didn't want to s-. II any diamonds, he said, atnl didn't ciTcr that as an inducement. The three oirds he put up, to the best of his know ledire and lielief. did not contain a diamond.

That last was the X '.it'll bird. Well.they landed three of the bless-.-d creatures at Primlisi -thoutrh the oid "-cnllemaii said it was a breach of the customs r.irulations -and Potter and Padishah lauded tix.

I came on to Sout hampton, and there I saw the last of the birds, as I came ashore; it was the. one the engineers bought, and it was standing up l i ar the 1 rid-re in a kind of crate, and lookinir as leirtry and silly a settinir for a aluable diainond as ever you saw if it. was a settin-r fr a valuable dia mond.

"In the court of my duties as nurse," said a young woman who has made a name for herself, "I have oLaserved that ima-riitat ion ami upprvhensioii have a great deal to do with sending- for doe tots at unseasonable hours. As a iiile the sufferer might just a well wait uu til morning or send In-fore it is late into the night.

Wheu eople are ailing they get tired and nervous and fret ful and out of joint wit'i everyliody and everything. They are to a certain extent entertained and moused or at least occupied during the day. Their thoughts are distracted in spite of themselves, and they have le-ss nervous force to expend upon them selves. When night comes and the house is quiet they tire left more to themselves, and their thoughts and fancies run riot. They magnify their ills, and dwell upon their pains and give free rein to their fears. We all know that by indulging-ourselves we get into apprehensive states and fancy all sorts of dreadful things when once we give way to our feelings. And it is especially so w ith sick m r sons. They liegin to think and to worry and wonder if they are really grow ing worse, anil, if there is an extra twinge of pain or a little faint nes or undue nerv ousness, they lose their heads at once, am! everyliody is roused to minister to what is really nothing- more nor less than the legitimate result of too much self-examination and too close atten tion to symptoms tliat would not I at HI alarming if they were not dwelt upon. Of course there are acute attacks of various diseases that demand instant attention, but when the doctor has made one call he is usually quite well qualified to state w he thi r or not there are conditions that are likely to aj-ise that may give cause for alarm. "I have had many patients w hooould, with a little explanation and quieting, be reconciled to waiting for the doctor until morning," added the young woman. "I 1 lave made it a rule in my ten. years exwrience rever to send for a physician after ten o'clock at night or In-fore seven o'clock in the morning un less there was imperative need of it.

It a p ears from the same authority that alMMit one-quarter us many per sons were killed by street ear uf idents last jear as by disaster on the i-team roads. There are no data at h ind for comparing the two modes .f travel, but it seems probable that the steam loads are consiilerably safer than the trolley ors if the distance traveled lie taken into account. The figures do not show how many of those set (low n as killed by tmlley car accidents, were passengers and how many innocent k destrians who faihv! to pet out of the way in time. It hardly seems as if the latter could lie included, for the total givn for three years for the whole country is only about equal to the list of those known to have been killed by the trolley cars in the city of Krook lvn in that time. FURNISH COLLAR BUTTONS. Nudrra l.aiindrlea Da. mane the Street Venilor'a llualnra. MiMlern" mel hodti in at least oik line of business have struck a blithering sw ipe at the sidewalk merchant w ho u tiently stands for hours on a downtown corner trying- to sell collar and shirt buttons. Nobody ever tliinksof buying any buttons from the luckless man. be cause everyone who iatroiiizcs u laun dry fTf ts buttons for nothing, and in the course of a few mouths lays them up by the gross, suvs the Chicago Chron icle. Some time ago when a shirt came from the laundry it had tieside the grease from the ironing- machine and the ink from the marker's-table, two pins thrust deserately through the stretclied linen holding the bosom and back of the gar ment in place. There are no more pins sent home with shirts. Some bright laundry man started a new era by fur nishing small metal buttons, which are slipped into all the button holes of the shirt, causing it to hold its slfcUe per fectly. The other laundry men were not slow to follow, and now half the men i-n the street wear these, little charity buttons for shirt studs. They are made of lead or some similar soft metal and evidently do not cost much, for shirts are done up cheaper and done up more, by the way, than they were when the humble but serviceable pins were used. So therefore the patient street sales man finds a slow market with a down ward tendency for his collar buttons. 8I.0O and 1897. FKOM TaIE GRAVE. BV ASS A SHIELDS. I have never told this story before, but, knowing- I ha.ve not many days K-ft of this earth's weary pilgrimure, I write out the expeirieitH-t; that has made me a jw or man. and a lonely one, though, I Itriuubly trust, not a useless one. Nearly 25 years ago I settled in tirestuuu, a villagw then, and taking its name, from the founder, who was also my- uncle-, Peter Ure&ham. He had written to me, when I graduated from the medical college, where he had paid all my e-XpeiitM as a student, that he woiiki give me a. cottage in the viilar-." and $50o in money, but after tliat I must make my own, way. The offer was a gvuerous continu a nee of k iud nesa show n to me from lv -hood, when 1 was left an orJuin and Ienniless. I gladly accepted it, and went at once to (iresham. w here my only rival was a practitioner nearly so years old, Lrr. Farnell, who occupied a cottage directly opposite to mine. He'uig in easy circumstances and very feeble. Dr. Faruell was more than will ing to send me -atients. until, gradual ly, I found heluid tru is f erred the whole pnu tii-e of tiro vilhtge to my care. He took froau the first a friendly in: terest in my welfax-e, and gave me much useful advice and information, his long experience rendering all he imparted of great value to a young physician. Scarcely an evening passed but found me at his cottage, to discuss the cases of the day, in ea4.i1 and all of w hich he took keen professional interest. Hut, before I liad been, a year in Cresham, I found my professional talks formed but a secondary interest in my visits to Or. Famell's cottage. When these were over, and t tie aged doctor dozod in Ida chair, or nodded over a. book, iAonie Farnell, his grand daughter and ho use ke-ej xt, would touch the piano keys to aoi-om jiany her sweet, clear voice in my favorite songs, or would talk to me in her womanly way of tine atients, wlio were all friends of Iter ow n, many of them her pension ers. Let me try, looking through the clouds that rolled soon between us, to picture Leonie Farnell as she was in that first year-of my love for her. My love, I say, for it sprang into my heart strong and undying- tbe first time her soft, brown eyes met mine in shy greet ing. She was pretty, but no wonder of beauty, her great charm lying- in Iter grace of movements, her low, sweet voic-e and a gentle, refined modesty. She had lieen carefully educated, but had no brilliant accomplishments, un less a gift of inaking home au altoget It er charming pbce may rank in that cat egory. Orphaned in infancy, she. had been the darling of her grandfather's heart, but, dearly as he loved her. he was never averse to my suit. He res-1 my heart's secret even before I guessed its depth, and in his quiet way favored the friendship' between Leonie and mv fcclf. A year, the one bright year in my tiolitaxy life, passed away, and 1 pre pared to speak to Ionie of my love. 1 had waited until I felt secure of im position at (iresham, and I ho-d to waken some warmer token of love mi Leonie's part. For even then I guessed dimly, what I know, and soon knew cer tainly, that I had won only a calm, sis terly affection in return for the absorb ing devotion of tuy heart. 1 have said nothing yet of my inter course with, my Uncle tireshaau. the grandee of the little village, whose large, handsome house was the center ot attraction to all strangers, and whi-se iiM-ome was supposed to lie something of almost fabulous extent, and really was that of a very wealthy man. During that first bright year of my life in the village he had -started, my intercourse with my uncle was as pleas ant us all otbt-r parts of my life, and 1 was a freqtaent and welcome visitor at his house- , Hut in one brief sentence I may re cord the event that wrought a chaiige in all my love, my friendships, tuy welcome at (iresham Place. My cousin, Sidney, Uncle tiresluuu'a only child, -une home from Euroiie, where he had been traveling for five years. From that time 1 marked a change in my reception at the house, where 1 hail been assured of moist cordial Wel-i-.iiiic, and my visits soon became those exacted by my gratitude only. It hurt i ire cruelly to see that my uncle's affec tion was being won from me, but there was a far more bitter cup soon to be placed at my reluctant lips. Sidney came to Dr. Farnell's as a guest sure of a welcome, to renew a friendship only interrupted since loy hood by his travels. And the first time I saw him with Iyeoiue I knew why my love had failed to meet its return. A childish friendship hael grown by that long teparation into a life love. The eyes that had ever met tniue with tie frankness of friendship di oopnil shyly beneath 'Sidney's gaze, while the cheek that hud never changed color for me. fuslied at his coming, even before he spoke. Yet I would not quite despair until meeting them together, on a hazy June evening, walking slow ly, as lovers wall.. I heard a soft, sighing voice wh'sper: "I have always loved you, Sidney!" In their happiness they never guessed my presence, and I shrank lutck In hind a friendly tree till they passed me by, and were lost to my sight. Tlien I threw myself into my profes sional duties, trying so to feedany starv ing heart, studying diligently, and giv ing every case in my care ardent inter ests Dr. Farnell gurssed all my misery, and, when, I came more and more sel dom to his' cottage, he crossed the road frequently to visit me. Once only hei spoke. "I am sorry Leone loves Syd ney." he said, after telling- me of their engagement, "for he is a man I never liked nor trusted. Itut a woman's heart is wayward and mast follow its own will. There is no reason not one to set against her love, so 1 must bear my disappointment as best I may." Aisi 1 knew my kind old friend meant that he had hoped tny love would win Leonie's heart. While August was burning up the vegetation with a long drought, we had several cases of malignant fever in the village, and one morning I was shocked at receiving a note from my uncle, say ing Sidney had. the 1 mptoins. postage per ear In advance. NTJMBEK 22. I hurried to the house, and inv uncle led me directly to the sick room. Hutas 1 approached the lied Sidney cried: "Wluit brings you hen-? Where is Dr Farnell r "Dr. Farnell (Vies not practice," I re plied. "He will com. tome! lie must! I will not trust my life, in the hands of my heir and my rival in love!" I started I iack as if he hail struck me a blow. Hef, re heaven, I could swear that my -osihle heirship had never crossed my mind, and 1 hail never thought to try to win Ieonie. once I knew her love was given eh-ewhere. 1 could not speak, but I -sent Dr. Farnell to my cousin. In one short week the villagv church bell tolled for Peter iresham's sou. Two hours lief ore the time set for tin funeral I went to my uncle, and. though he had clung to me in those bit ter days of mourning, I asked for the first time to see my cousin. I have often questioned the fatality that I el me to make that reipn-st. but 1 can only write here what I have often told my own heart. I had toscc him. Already he was in liis costly eoflin. with flowers attout tlie led ujion which it rested. I entered tlie room alone, atal stood intently looking dow n tijion the still, colli face of my rival. IW-ad! His words came back to me as I look i-d at him. I was my uncle's heir. I might yet hoj-e in tlie future to win Leonie. Suddenly thi' blood rushed to my heart, almost suffocat ing me: my hands f.-rew cold, my legs shook under me. My eyes-, fixed upon Sidney Ires ham's face, grew dim, ami I should have fallen had I not gra.spe.1 the lied for supjiort. For. with my professional instincts ever on the alert, I saw that my cousin was not dead. It was a case of snsjiend il animation, calling for instant care. One rr.. m, tit the memory of the dy ing man's hatred anil suspicion tiurged at my he-lit: one moment a fierce temptation seemed tearing me in two. ami then. Heaven lie thanked. I was myself agtiin. Ciently I lifted my cnti-sin from his plKis-tly renting place, and replaced his fdirond by his nig-ht dress. I would not risk the shock of his waking to a con sciousness of his surroundings, but though I stapvered under his we:ght. I took him to my uncle's room, next tin one where he had lain. Then I opened a vein in his arm. Slnsr gishly, drop by drop, the life blood fol lowed my lancet, and I knew I had not 1-een deceived. Alone. unaidii. I ap plied sure remedies, till pulstilinn re turned to the numlel heart, color to the pallid litis, brenth to the paralyzed lunirs. Then, when the wondering eves ojiened, I gave a powerful opiate, watched till it took effect, and. leav ing my patiep.t in a profound ilumlier, went downstairs. I found my uncle in the pathetic aptithv grief had made habitual in those three dreadful days, and I said, gently: "Uncle, you have doubTed rnv love end my gratitude in these last few months. You have thought the man who owed you every good of his life for years had counted on your death to inherit your wealth." "Hurt T will not doubt you atrain." he raid, piteoiif-ly. "if ynwi will come Kick to me. I have wronrred you. but you will not desert me now !" "You have wronged me," I answered, "and I have come to prove to yon my love and my pmtitiale. I have come to lest ore to you The aced face was lifted quickly, while a pallor like death, a breathless eagerness, warned me to speak quickly. "Come." I said.

You. whom he almost accused of wish ing to murd-T h:m!" "He was mistaken," I said, quietly. "Now-, will you watch him while I send lr. Furuelf here?" "Yesyes! And you will have those things taken away?" and he pointed to the room w here the cell in lav. "I will do all!" NoUidy quite Ululerstoi-d lint the old dM-tor.

This atol is made up of a circle of growing plaids. They are found float ing on the top of (i-misor lakes. They foriu a lioop-sha;-ed figure and are loosely matted together at the roots, vxh-ch li.aki- a sort of cup or tia-sjii. to which more or less vegetable tnatteJ fails or floats. There is a suflicieut amount of nut rum nt in this to keep the plant growing. As it increases, the roots In-come loiigiT and larger, arid in time the plant may anchor itself in the Miil at t tie 1 t torn of tlie Olid. Thc-se rings, after many years of accumula tion and growth, make what apcar to 1 small islands. It is the opinion of certain scientists that islands may Lave been formed in this manner. The roots catch all floating vegetables or animal matter, bans collect and form mold, ami after aw Idle birds may drop plant or tri-e sii-ds on the little iod that lloata on t he top of the w ater. These take root and further assist in tlie growth of the little island. It may take oci.turie for the plant to come to any size, but w ith nature a thousand years is but as yesterday. N. Y. Ledger.
