One bitterly cold winter's evening Ave men were seated together In a small room .in a liouso situated In the Jewish qunrter of n liusy nnu lnigoly populated Kusiim city. Tlio appear- nuco of tlio room was ns wrcicueu ns the exteriml aspects of the liouso itsolf. Tlio solitary window iw totally con cealed by a heavy faded curtain, de pending from tlio roof, and as the wind moaned, dismally through the broken, pnnei of Klas, its somber folds swnyed' (o ami fro. The inmates of this mourn- fi 1 den wcro sentod round tho table, imotd'ig tlieh- pipes aud talking, as if furtively, In whispers. Ai the feeble rays of the caudle fell fitfully upon tlio company they roveuleil the youtliiul faces of four students. Hie chief spokes man, however, was a mucli oldor mnu, apparently about CO, with n short pointed beard, shaggy brows, and Keen, penetrating eyes ot tho darkest hue. The othrri deferentinlly addressed tlio speaker ns "professor," and such, in deed, lie was, nt that time, at a well known school of tnedlcino in Russia. On the present occasion, however, lio was speaking, not of science, but of the terrible doctrine of assassination. Professor V was n Nihilist, a re puted Collossu? of craft in the dissent inntlon of revolutionary doctrines, and on the particular evening in question lie wo3 engaged in advocating, with fiery eloquence, tho assassination of a certiiin colonel who had lately been pro moted to tho rank of chief connuis- sionorof the secret police. As the night woro on their whispered conversation wns Kiulilemy Interrupted by a low huiic'.iiiK nt the outer door. In a mo ment tho conpirators sprung nolsolessly to their feet, mid listened with bated breath. The s.mnd was ropeated a pe culiar whistle was heard from without, and tlio liiteners exchanged signifi cant glances nnd quietly resumed their seats. Presently cautious foottteps wcro hoard in an outer room, tho door wns opened, nnd a young man hastily entered. Hii face s pale, his manner ngitnted, aud as 1 o returned his com panions salutations ho regarded them with a fixed uud angry staie. ' "You havo kept U3 waiting, com rade," exclaimed tho profes or, puffing calmly nt his pipe. "TJhl we are almost ftozen, for tho. nlr of this wretched apintinent is qulto Siberian. But now to bu-iness. Wo will warm ourselves with talk, and fire our minds with the prospect of revenge. There was a murmur of approval It was noticed, how over, that tho young man who hud just appeared upon the tcene toolc lits sent In slicnce, and, rest- in ir. Ids elbows upon the table, slowly torutfuized the faces of his comrades. "My dear professor, " he said at length, "we can not possibly proceed at present with this business. " "Why not?" wns unanimously asked. "Because," replied the latest comer, as lie quietly snuffed the caudlo, "be cause one of us is a traitor." "Atrnltnrl" exclaimed the men, start ing to their feet. "Yes co nrades, we are betrayed; and ns no one knows ot thia plot of ours ex cept ourtelves, it is plain, I think, that one of us hus turned informant." "You nre mad to say sol" honrselyex olaimed the protestor; "but in heaven's name, what has happened? Come, tell us quickly. This is no jesting matter." "Listen, then. On my way thither, comrades, I entered a Cnfo de Paris to sip n cup of tea and smoke a cigarette. I Inippetied to sit down beeldu two of ficers of tlio Secret Police, and, as one of them was somowhat tipsy, I could hear his conversation. I found It rather iiiteiotting. He told his companion that ho xna under oiders to surround this o!d deserted house at midnight it U near 11 now aud to arrest nil persons found within. He mentioned, more over, all our names, una added, with a maudlin laugh, that a certain peison, to whom the administration is eternally indebted, would be found in our mi 1st playiug the part of conspirator. Now, comrades, I havo done. What shall wo do?" The men looked at each other lu dis may. A dead silence filled tho room, for the mere suspicion of treachery among the men who had solemnly dedl cated their Ures to tho sooted cause of liberty seemed to hold them dumb. Such villainy In their very midst among men bonded together In saored brother hoo.l wai a greater crime than the nwcllets aots ot a depot and his ruin ions. "If this is true," said the professor In a voice of suppressed rage, " then I will no longer believe in human fidelity, or the future of our cans. But Dathl If the story is true. Which ot us is the Informer?" added the speaker, staring neroely at the Dale faces of his com nan t ioni.

But. com miles, suppose wo endeavor to find him otU? Let us seaioh each other. '11 io traitor, whoever ho may be, must tlouhtlass havo in his poso6tou somn proof of his guilt At least, the experi ment Is worth trying. What say your " Agreed I agreed! exclaimed the Nl- lilliit-, ns with ouo accord they sprang oMiruIslrolv to their feet. Ono of the students a tall, lank youth, with a somewhat foppish appearance ob jected, however, to the proposal 'liut why?" hotly demanded the pro fessor, who seemed all eagerness to be gin tho investigation. "Bcuse, was tho liesitatme re joinder, "because it is unnecessary. Our word of honor ought to be enough. Be sides, there is something degrading in llig Idea of searching ouo another, ns if, indeed, we were a lot of pickpockets. So let us break up the meeting. Tills excitement is nbstird, and renders the Ilscussion of tho plot impossible. As for the story told by the drunken soldier in the cafe, I don't hellove a word of It, These words produced an angry mur mur nmeag tho excited conspirators. The prot(Bt seemed so ridiculous; and ns tho clamor ivicrcnsed Ivan turned to the speaker and warmly oxclnimod, "Very well; wo shall abstain from searching you, sinco you wish it; but remember this, that If we fall to find n clue to the informant among those who willingly submit to the examination wo hIiiiII then know upon whom to fix our suspicions. Now, comrades, ssarch mo first; I am ready, " In n moment tho speaker s pockets wcro emptied of their contents, and wen the lining of his clothes wns care fully searched; but beyond a few old lovo letters, some political pamphlets, and an English newspaper with n para graph obliterated with lamp black, nothing of an incriminating character wns found, A second student readily submitted to the test if test it wns with similar results. Then a third stepped forward and placed himself lu the hands of his companions. But at thnt raomout n curious incident oc curred. An Invisible hand suddenly extinguished the light ot the candle, and tn n second the room was plunged in utter darkness. What did it mean? Who had quenchod tho light? F.ov n momont.the Nihilists remained motionless, ns it rooted to tho spot. As they llstenod in nlarm, they heard a strange Creaking sound in the direction of the curtained window. Suddenly tho voico of Ivau exclaimed in the dnikness: "Comrades, this is a tiickt Listonl Some ono Is endeavoring to cscnpo by tho window! It is the traitor at last. His attempt to escnps betrays liU guilt. Stand backl I know how to deal with him!" In an Instant tho rcpoit of tluco re volver shots rang through tho room, and wns followed by an agonizing yell ns Borne oue fell heavily upon the floor, A profound silence then ensued. It wai an awful situation. At length Ivitn' spoko to his torrified companions. "Strike n light now, "ho said in n trembling voico, "and let us look upon the face of ii traitor. Will no ono move? Are you nil afraid to gaze upon tlio dead body of a miscreant who has betrayed us to our memies? Come, profefisor, where tiro the matches? You had them last. But hush! What sound is that? Li-ten I By heavens, comrades, the police are upon us already, -The houso is surrounded I Quick I hero is a trap door, known only to myself. It leads to the main sen or, and is our only hope of escape. Follow mo." Qroplug hand in hand in the dark, the hfftightcd men followed tho speak er's directions, and after some moment ary confusion, disappeared into a noisome abyss. None loo soon. In an other instant the door of the room was battered to piecos, and n compauy of gendarmes entered. Lights wcro now flashed in every direction, hut it was obvious to nil that tho conspirators had ojoaped. Tho officer in charge swore long nnd deep, nnd ordered the men to search the house from top to bottom. Then, advancing toward tho window, ho stumbled over a hitman body, "What's this?" ho exclaimed, exam ining the dead man's features with n lantern, "H,il so they have caughtyou at last, my friend, have ihey? Well, you played the spy long aud well, but it always comes to this end. " And, (earing down the window cur tain, the officer threw it over the rigid body of the professor. ni McDougal, in Pall Mall Budget. Families la Heligoland. The women iu Heligoland are, gener ally speaking, small and gracefully formed and preeut a remarkable con trust to their tall nnd strapping mates. The fomalo loveliness is unfortunately somewhat transient, no doubt owing in largo measure to tho Inferior fare aud rough work with tho nets. No idea of female suffrage is ever likely to enter a Heltgolander's head. His idea ot the relation of the sexes is tho old one that the man is the head of tho wife and that women, take them as you like, are an Interior order: they nre kind nnd courte ous to their women iu all respects, but there Is no doubt who is lord and bread winner. Tlio patriarchal system has scarcely died out Each lusty, broad shouldered on, though he may have passed his 21st birthday, is required to give all or nearly all his earnings to his father so long es he Uvea iu his father's house. When he marries and takes up house for himself then only does the natria pro testae come to an end. Ueligolanders as a lule marry young; there are more women thau men, and It Is not diftloult to find a mate. Housekeeping is not an expensive job, and there is plenty ol money to be earned if a man is intelli gent and industrious. It may be some time ueiore the young nusuand lias it boat ot liia own, for a boat costs $136 (they are all built on the island), but lie can always hire one, paying for its hire about 85 per oont of the payment lie himself charges. Powder PURE akincr Bliidrn Bclpntifle Itnttareh ami Modsrn Doubt. Hie relation of the tesohings of geology to the first chapters of Genesis line ox- cited so much attention in these later years that the moral truth contained in this portion of tlio bible has often been left in the background. Thnt tho earth was gradually nrermtod to be the dwell ing plaoe ot man, and arranged to cor respond to tho wants of his nature, Is n fact of importance. But higher truth than this enrlchos tho first pages of the sacred volume. Tlieie, at the outset, stands the great protest against pan theism mid atheism the sublime an nouncement Bounding llko the voice of tho Creator himself: In the beginning God created the heavens nnd the earth I" Thou thoro is the description of man, ns exalted abovo tho lower orders of being through the possession of a living soul that comes directly from his Maker and bears his Image n dental of tho de grading theories which, on account of resemblance of physical organization, have sought to Identify mind with mat ter aud to represent tlio beast as on n level with the rational creature. Then follows the momentous fact of man's fnll from holiness Involving, of coui'bp, his fiecdomaud responslbleness, tho origin of sin in tlio voluntary trnns- giession of law, and that wonderful de scription of tho phenomena of guilt, to the escnlinl truth of which every heart responds: "And Adam aud his wife hid thoumelvod from the presence of tho Lord Gjd ntnongst the trees of the gar den I " Wo have hero a series of state ments that warn the conscience, now as always, not to listen to (he suggestion that Mu is an accident, or somet hing involved In theuntureof man, as tho plant is Included in the seed, but over to look upon siu ns man's own perverse, guilty net, done in disregard of the will of God. Aud then the mys terious connection of physical disorder and distress with the moral ruin of man is asserted; nnd thus the sufferings ot the human rnco nro made consistent with God's wisdom and justice. It would bo easy to show that this mass or truth however it may bo clothed in figure mid symbol enters into all Christina views of God, of man, Ills rights, aud" his.dutiea to his master nnd his neighbor, and constitutes to tliis day the impregnnble doctrine im pregnable because grntoful to reason, as woll ns verified by scrlpttiro by which Christianity confronts pauthoismnnd nil tho diffoicnt theories that .no really, though unconsciously, its fruit On tho foundation of this mass of truth, Chris tianity, tho syslom of redemption from sin and its consequences, ii founded. Whence, ono might ask, did the Israel ites get tin so moral ideas, by the sido of which tlin Greek philosophy, tho ripest product of uninspired wisdom, is so do fectire? They must have had light from above. But while geology has oxpanded, tho lesson of Genesis is that the earth was made for man and wns adapted to meet his wants, tho science ot astronomy would appear to havo a contrary ten dency. In tho room ot the old idea that the firmament was spicad out nnd hung with glittciing lights for the sake of the earth uud man, wo are no , taught that tho earth is itself n diminutive star, and that but a small portion of the stellar unlvcise can ho discerned by tho human eye. Indeed, tho Copernlcan discovery has produced a total revolution in our conceptions of the material creation. The oarth has been driven, as n usurper, from her throne of glory in tho center of tho worlds to a little nook in tho boundless empire. Yet, as the old He brews Lclieved, as we know, to whom the Gospel has come, ovon better than they, God Is mindful of man. He does think ot us. He nover censes to care for us. Even tho host of stars, whatever grander office they fulfill in the universe, nro made at the sumo time to ba for signs, nnd for soaioux, aud for dayy, nnd for years, and to be lights in the firma ment of the heaven to givo light upon tho earth. Whatever nobler purposes they may accomplish, for this use, also, they were adapted by the Creator, The intention ot tho Creator to elevate and gratify the hunmu miud by spread ing over us the sunlit and starlit sky is undeniable. One motive, therefore, in the structure of the material universe, was the good of man. Tims does tho Creator consult our happiness in those contrivances which nre destined to ac complish other onds remote from our comprehension. Out ot all tho worlds he has erected a root over man's destiny. At tho moment whon we are awed by the revelation of his greatness wo are touched by the disclosures of his conde scension, Professor George P. Fisher. The nttsburc Huron Munchausen. A certain young lady of Pittsburg, who has not yet reached her third birth day, makes her papa's lifo n burden by her persistent demand for "'tories. " "Tell mo a 'tory, papa, " sho will say, and papa has to submit Under the encouragement of his llttlo daughter "papa" is developing into a Baron Munohauson ot no mean cali ber. One day, not long ago, in response to an urgent invitation, the following "'tory" was told: "Once there was a mosquito. This mosquito had a family of throe young mosquitoes in a nest up a big tree. The little mosquitoes said to their mamma, We's very hungry.' Thon the mamma mosquito went to a house where there was a nice fat baby asleep in a crib, The mamma mosquito carried tho baby off to her nest, and divided it up among her children. "Two of the littlo mosquitoes had a leg apiece, and the mamma mosquito and the other little baby mosquito each ate an arm. After thete wero eaten the rest of the fat baby was put away for supper. That's all oT that story." When the narration was concluded the unsatisfied Infant remarked: "Tell me a bigger 'tory than that, papa. " Harpers Young People.

A rilKNOUBtAN'S QUKElt IUBA. na rrnpoves tn Drop l'eople Safsly From tlio lilffel Tower. A French inventor, having in mind people who doto upon the particular sensation that ono feels on a high swing, on tho odge of steep declivities or in any place whoro thoro is a rapid doscont, proposes to give to the public tho feel ing of a vortical fall of several hundred meters Into space. To hint a jump from tho top of tlio highest steeple is a moro bagatelle; it requires the height of tho Eiffel Tower to satisfy hi3 ambition. It is iu ono word a question ot letting amateurs fall a distanoo of S00 meters and giving them baak safe to tholr fami lies. At the end of 110 meters ot fall tho into of descent of this now species of tourist will bo 45 meters a second; at tho end of 200 meters it will be 05 meters per second; at tho ond of SOO meters it will bo 77 meters por second. Tho most rapid railroad trains mako about S3 motors por second Never, theu, has tho human rnco experienced so high a speed as that proposod. It is always easy enough to fall 800 meters, but it is not so easy to pick one's self up safo and sound. This Is tho schomo of tho inventor. Ho builds u cage similar in shnpa to a hholl for a cannon, - In the body of the shell is a largo space, having a diamotor of three meters and a height of four meters, with room to hold 15 persons comforta bly seated in arm chairs. Tho floor is a mattro33 having springs 60 centimeters high. Beneath, nnd forming tho point of the shell, Is a series of cones inclosed ono within another. The total height of tho cngo is 10 meters; its weight four tons. From tho top of a tower ono can let this gignntio shell fall with its load without injury to any of the occupants, Whoro it strikes the inventor has hollowed out a large basin filled with water, shaped like tho bowl of a cham pagno glass. Tlio shell is recolvod in this soft cushion and displaces about 30 tons of water. Tho shock that the voyagers would otherwise foel is by this means entirely deadcued. Tho buoy ancy of tlio shell causes it to riso to tho surfaco and tho bold experimenters can then get out The shell is then to be lifted up by an olovator to tho top of the tower, where everything is ready to bo gin again. The price for this venture some journey Is already fixed nt 20f, a person. This might be rccomniendod 03 a now idea to tho directors of tho Chicago exposltloa Now York Times. Sir Edwin Arnold's Ilousa In ToUIo. If I name my garden at Azahu among tho scenes ever to bo remcmborod In Japan, It Is because it was typical ot a city residence there, as well as being really a protty spot, and full of "things Japanese. " Provided with an outer as well as au inner range of sliding shoji, wo could make it warm in the winter as well as cool in tho summer, although the outer plass (amado) would certainly rattle a groat deal in a stormy wind or an earthquake, this latter phenomenon occurring pretty frequently, A Japau ose house is really healthy as well as comfortable. Being built not in the soil, as with us, but abovo it, freely venti lated by the airiuess inseparable from its construction, and being entered only with bare or stocklngod feet it is always sweet'aQd clean, Tho tataml, tho mats, of suclian abode remain so froo from dust or dirt that tho dellcato silks or muslins of their kimonos nro laid upon tho floor by Japanese ladles without the least fear of soiling them. Cheap to build, beautiful in appearance, spotlessly pure, and, with proper arrangements, eminently salubrious, the Japanese domicile seoms to me entirely admirable and lu almost all its good qualities rich and poor share alike. Tlio palace of the emperor and tho hut of tho ICurum aman are practically on tho same plan, and even in tho smallest tenemenU I havo seen apartments so clean, so neat, so bright, and so charming that thoy might have been boudoirs for the om press instead of the back room of n mat maker's or a carpenter's abode. Ed win Arnold, in Scribner, Why Soys Are Mtiohlevoiu. A boy can not invent anything he can only imitate; and it is easier to imi tate evil than good. You can imitate war, but how aro you going to imitate peace? So a boy passes his .leisure In contriving mischief. If you get another fellow to walk into a wasp's camp you can see him jump and hear him how, but it you do not, then nothing at all happens. It you set a dog to chase a cat up a tree, then something has boen done; but if you do not set the dog on the cat, then the oat just lies in the sun and sleeps, and you lose your time. If a boy could find out some way of doing good, so that he oould bo active in it, very likely ho would want to do good now and thon; but as ho can not ho very seldom wants to do good, William Dean Howell, Archdeacon Oolley, preaohlng on Satan recently at St James's church, Marylebooe, London, replying to an im aginary remonstrance from those who believe in giving the devil his due, ex claimed: "Ah, my friends, if we gave the devil hie due many of us would be misting.
