The Countess Flnvia Andonii was
charming, twenty-eight years of nge,
,000 lire or income n her ilowry nnd
she dlil not take a hunhnnil. Every now
and then the refuaeil one. Counteae
Flnvia read a great deal, she Invented
the fashious which the elegant women
imitated, she did not attend first repre
sentations nt thu theater, but preferred
second performances; she did not euro
for poetry, did not use paint or powder,
never wns ill, journeyed very often, al
lowed herself to be courted up to n, cer
tain limit, never talked politics, liked
the conversation of men better than that
women, had irray eyes, dark com
plexion and brown hair.
Therefore she was called rightly or
wrongly I have nothing to say about
that a woman of esprit.
iue Marquis Lrneeto Carafa, thirty-
two years old, had n hnndsomo head,
with n tawny blond mane, a short, aris
tocratic, tawny beard, 00,000 lire of iu-
coino and not a plgn of a wife. Ho paid
court to all the ladles with a certain
graceful nonchalance, danced while
others were playing cards, did not culti
vate the acquaintance of tho corps do
ballet, drove Ids horses himself, did not
wear a flower in his buttonhole, did not
patrouize Uie fine arts, did not caro for
music, lent money to his intimate
friends, did not aspire to bo elected
deputy to Homo, loved tho mountains
liko a platonic member of the Alpine
cluh, had no literary proclivities, nover
wrote lovo letters, was always in love
and, never in lovo. Rightly or wrongly,
Ernesto Carafn was called a man of
esprit.
Thcso two exceptional beings began,
naturally, liko others, their acquaint
ance, somo friend of 1 lnvia said to her,
That Carnfu i3 really n brilliant man;
why don't you havo him presented to
yon?" And Ernesto's friends: "Do you
know the Countess Audorni? A brilliant
woman, my dear fellow." And this
thrico four times, twenty times, so that
Flavin was bored and Ernesto annoyed
by It. They saw each other on n prome
nade nnd looked nt each other with ill
concealed curiosity like two raro beasts,
but tho couutess discovered nothing ex
traordinary nnd tho marquis shrugged
his thoulders for tho same reason.
Ono evening nt the San Carlo, tho
marquis was presented to the countess,
in her box, by a friend. Few words
were exchanged, and those of tho sim
plest, of the kind that nre not in the vo
cabulary of peoplo of esprit. Ernesto
e.nt away soon, smiling ironically upon
manufactured fames, and Flavin asked
herself if die must add another name
to tho category of foolish and useless
beings already so largo among her ac
quaintances. So when they met at the
theater, in society, nt festivals, on the
proinenado they exchanged a rathci
disdainful bow, without seeking to np
proach each other or to become better
acquainted.
Bat chance that, far from being a
person of esprit, has obstinacies which
aro quito stupid made them meet and
remain near each other, perforoo. at tho
marriage of n cousin of Flavin with a
friend of Ernesto. They resigned them
selves to endure each other mutually.
Each one thought how to sustain tho
character attributed to her and to him,
In order not to mako n poor figure; and
there ensued a conversation of para
doxes, retorts, bizarre questions, odd an
swers, stupendous absurdities, n display
of fireworks that ended by bewildering
the Avo pyrotcchnicians nnd putting
tuein into a state of nervousness foreign
to their habits. "What a witty and
disagreeable maul but I kept up with
him," said r lavia when she was alone.
A witty and disogrecable woman; but
was not left behind her, ruunnured
tho marquis.
Yet the marquis went with somo fre
quency to the houso of the countess, and
the countess received him with polite
cordiality. Both perceived that tho peo
ple around them enjoyed tho relations
that united the most witty man and wo
man in tho city: they perceived the
slight smiles, tno curious attention.
with which others sought to tako part in
their colloquies; the caro with which
was reported a witticism said by Flavia
to Ernesto, or vice versa; in short, they
perceived that they were treated by tho
public as star actors. Were they con
scious of playing a part or of speaking
the truth? That Is the dark point which
shall not illuminate, but it is certain
that the little comedy continued, recited
with liveliness and much Interest. Be
longing to the far from numerous class
of brilliant peoplo, the two sought to do
precisely tho opposlto of whatever all
the others did.
Ernesto had at the very first declared
that ho would never, never pay court to
the countess, nnd the countess had added
that she forbado him to fall ill love with
her, which is quito the reverse of payiug
court. Ernesto never sent flowers to
Flavia, and she never naked him for con
fidences, as is cuttonury between friends.
The marquis never felt himself obliged
to praise tho arrangement of the hair,
the eyes or the arms of the cpuntess, and
the countess avoided speaking of him
with her friends. On the subject of love
they were in accord; they spoke equally
111 and well of it, skimming the topio
lightly, of course making witticisms.
Upon matrimony it was the same. They
never became todr, never were melan
choly or pensive. They always feared
to talk Bentlraent after the manner of
the crowd. They never haxarded artis
tic discussions, never discoursed of
poetry.
All ready made phrases were ban
ished all conventionalisms, axioms,
sentences, olasalc quotations, lines of
poetry, newspaper diction, things that
everybody repeats because everybody
has begun by saying tbeui. I do not
speak of proverbs; they were rigorously
prohibited. At first for awhile they
amused themselves by citing proverbs
npside down, at the cost of causing a
shudder to the mightty Solomon and all
other collectors ot proverbial philosophy;
but it was n jest that soon became com
mou, and they let it go. The marquis
was always upon guard, fearing to see a
emlle of scorn appear upon the beauti
ful mouth of the countess tor some in
voluntary offense against esprit on bis
part. And on the other hand the coun
tess was wary as to her words, blushing
to be caught in a moment of weakness
in which she should resemble too much
any other woman.

reputation, Flavia auil Blrnesto begnti to
become rather tiresome; that is to say,
not to themselves, but to the people who
frequented them. It Is natural that
brilliant people have many exactions. It
Is natural that they live n life different
from that of the multitude. For ex
ample, when they met at a ball, Ernesto
saluted the countess and spoko with her
for one moment, then took a little turn
aud ontne back to say something to her,
without even stopping long, but return
ing often, nnd people around said that
ho wns right to do so, because she alone
could understand him. They frequently
danced together for the same reason
nnd the other admirers of the witty
countess were left badly off, disap
pointed of the mazurka or quadrillo
hoped for in vain. When Flavia went
away the marquis moved about tho
rooms for n little while longer with a
bored air; then put on his overcoat and
departed because he hnl no longer any
one to talk with.
At the theater Ernesto remained
mnch longer than was his duty in her
box, for it Is very common to make short
visits to ladies. If some poor mortal, in
form of a dark youth In n dress coat,
inorraoreally polished shirt front and
the relative crush hat, presented him
self to tho Countess Flavin if this un
happy but contemptible young man
dared venturo the customary compli
mentsan itniertinent llttla laugh
Btirred the lips of tho marquis and n cut
ting reply came from the rosy mouth of
tho countess. The result was the pre
cipitate flight of the young man There
vas n rumor that the Marquis Ernesto
had paid assiduous court to tho young
Dnehcss Cesira Ualbiati, n very beauti
ful young weman, tall, with statucsqo
outlines, great Junonian eyes, long gold
en hair, a flower of womanhood, but in
the way of intelligence, a goose of the
ingenious and conscientious sort; well,
it was to be supposed that the Countess
flavia had exploded more thru ono epi
gram nt the marquis, for ho ceased to
hover around the Duchess Cesira.
Again, tho couutess nnd the marquis
had reserved to themselves the privilege
of many, very many strange Ideas,
which they never failed to put in to exe
cution. When all the stream of car
riages was at tho Riviera di Cliiaia,
Flavia made hers turn by the comer of
Piedigotta nnd go by tho Corso Vittorio
Emanuel; Ernesto described n circle,
went by way of tho Toledo nnd tho Sal
vntor Rosa and came to meet her. In
tho winter season, in midst of tho
amusements, festivals, lulls, Flavia fled
away all nlrae to Sorreuto. and after
three days Ernesto nppearod there, bored
by the city. At first Flavia had n recep
tion day, then annuled it, seeing that all
tho other women, her friends had one,
and also because tha marquis mado fun
of days.
Tho ranrquis had lost his inveterate
babit of going to hunt every year In
Calabria. So, little by little, a certain
isolation W.14 made around them; tho
world confessed" nloud that In Jhoso two
wns contained tho entire wit of Naples,
but added, sotto voce, that it was bet
ter to leavo the two models of wit to
fiaht it out between themselves. Flavia
and Ernesto did not perceive this, nnd
when the tnrdy moment came, in which
they found themselves nlone, one facing
tho other, it seemed to thorn a very sim
ple thing. The public had withdrawn
itself but not in vain was the invention
of art for art's sako.
One evening, be it known, in nutumn
tho conversation between those two lan
guished, exhausted. Not that they fonnd
nothing more to say, but n certain senso
of weariness descended upon them. All
the evening Iheir wit had sparkled bril
liantly, and the charming epigram, deli
cate ironies, courteous implications,
biting amiabilities had showered nnin
termlttently. Now they wero silent.
Tho countess extended herself slightly
in her armchair; she was ndorablo under
the quiet lamplight; but the marquis,
wmio recognizing tins ract, una tne good
taste not to 6peak of it. He was playing
with a mother of pearl pen handle.
'Marriage Is a very fine thing, ho
murmured, with a pretended air of con
viction. 'For the unmarried, yes," theconntess
quickly retorted.
And she adjusted her lace cravat.
Ernesto took a book from the tablo, read
tho title and laid it down again.
'Do you know what they say down
there about us'"
'I do not know. And I do not care to
know."
'Then 'tis a sign that I ought to tell
you. Many of our mutual friends aro
agreed in the opinion that we two aro
persons of too much wit ever to marry
each other."

her shoulders.
'If in order to prove ourselves witty
wo should no just the contrary. What
do you say, countess? It would bo
charming!" and ho opened the Tungolo

'Charming, indeed," she replied, put
ting out her hand to take her fan.

Tlie Shark I. Slow birluirucr.
One ill service nature has done the
shark, namely, that of placing n trian
gular fin on his back which nets as a
danger signal and gives warning of his
approach. Happily, the shark has not
been gifted with sufficient sagacity to be
aware of this peculiarity, for had he
been so ho would unquestionably aban
don his habit of swimming close to the
surface of the water, and would, in that
case, be enabled to approach his victim
unobserved. The shark is a slow swim
mer for his size and strength.
Byron observes, "As darts the dolphin
from the shark; but Uyron was a poet,
and does not appear to have been a close
observer of the habits of inhabitants of
the water, or he would have known that
a shark would havo no more chanoe of
catching a dolphin than a aheep would
of overhauling u hare. A shark will
keep up with a sailing ship, but it is as
muoli as it can do to follow in the wake
of a fast steamer, and a torpedo boat
-would be able to give it joints. London

At tho Lawyers' club a few nights ago
Judge Ruf us B. Cowing and Judge Henry
A. Qildersleeve wero spinning yarns on
the queer experiences they have had with
tho thieving fraternity, when not known.
Jndges Qildersleeve nnd Cowing are two
jolly nnd most entertaining compan
ions. Theynro very popular wherever
they go nnd now and then meet with a
sharper who tries to ingratiate himself
in their good graces to the extent of as
many dollars as they may happen to have
In their pockets.
Judge Uildersleevo was telling how he
was approached by a bunko man a few
years ago at the Pennsylvania railroad
depot in Jersey City, and how he crossed
tho ferry with the "hand shaker," who
thought ho hod made a great capture,
Judgo Qildersleeve is n famous sports
man nnd a sharpshooter. He ha3 won
many prizes with his rifle at national
and international tournaments, and has
written a dozen books on rifles, marks
manship nnd game, big and little. He
was returning from a trip to Pennsylva
nia, whero ho had had a very pleasur
ablo time shooting with a party of Phil
adelphia lawyer friends.
He had hardly got off tho train nt
Jersey City when he felt a vigorous slap
on the back.
"Why, hello, my dear Mr. Thompson.
So glad to seo you. Just in from Phlla-delphia,-eh?
How nre nil tho folks at
home?'
When Judge Qildersleeve got a chance
to say a word he replied meekly:
"le.s, lust in from rnllaaelphia. I
guess the folks are all well. They were
when I left them, anyway,"
"Now, I've met you In Philadelphia,
I am sure. Don't you remember mer
TUD JCDOE OET3 ItVEN.
Knowing what sort of a character he
had to deal with, Judge Qildersleeve led
him on In a modest, innocent way.
"Why, you mnst be mistaken." sam
ho to tho bunko man. "My namo is
Johnson, Joseph W. Johnson, and I keep
a store in Philadelphia."
Why, I beg a thousand pardons." and
tho bunko man bowed low and disap
peared. OAVB THE TIP TO HIS "rAL."
Then camo the "pal," just as Judge
Qildersleeve expected. He was just
stepping aboard the Desbrossea Street
ferry when he got another slap on the
uaci;.
"My dear Mr. Johnson, how nro you
and what are you doing over here? You
don't remember me, but I knew you
years ago in Philadelphia," and bunko
man No. 3 plied his tongue in the most
voluble manner, Judgo Qildersleeve as
senting to everything he said. The
bunko man had got Judge Qildersleeve
to promise that he would meet him again
when he saw he couldn't get him to join
him in a quiet gome or a liquid smile.
"Now, my dear Mr. Johnson, don t
forget to meet me, will your said tho
bunko man as he stepped out of the
ferry houso on the New York side.
"Officer, arrest this man," said Judge
Qildersleevo to a policeman standing by,
Bay, you old lay, wuat do you meonr'
shouted tho bunko man, red with anger.
"Wo will meet again, young man, in
a short time, I hope. I will give you my
name and place of business Henry A.
Qildersleeve, judge, Part 8, court of gen
eral sessions."
What's the charge, judge?-' asked tho
policeman.
"auspicious character."
Tho next day tho bunko man was sent
to the island for six months by Justice
Power, of the Tombs.
TIIE 'TAL" SENTENCED.
Two months later Judge Qildersleeve
had the pleasure of meeting tho man
who was king of the New York "hand
shakers," "Kid" Miller. Miller was tho
man who first addressed the jndgo in
the depot at Jersey City.
Miller, I've met you before." said
Judge Qildersleeve.
"Not guilty," replied Miller.
"Well, I got off a Pennsylvania train in
Jersey City one day two months ago, with
a gun and a basket and dressed in my
hunting clothes. I had been on a little
pleasure expedition, and you saw fit to
interfere in tho business of a peaceable,
law abiding citizen. Your companion
is now serving a term on the island, and
the strangers who come to town will bo
better off if you follow suit. One year
in the penitentiary," and the bunko king
was led away, and If ever a face looked
queer It was that dozed bunko man's.
The two bunko men who tried to cap
turo Judge Qildersleeve's shekels had
worked New York and vicinity for a
long time, yet did not know tho face ot
tho criminal court judge. In the case
of Recorder Smyth the "hand shaker"
was fresh in from tho Windy City, and
hadn't looked the city officers over so
closely as his calling would seem to war
rant. Judge GUdersleeve told me that so far
as ho knew hi and Recorder Smyth were
the only crimrual judges that hod ever
been approached by the New York bunko
men.
The only other experience Judge Qil
dersleevo ever had with the crooks out.
aide bis courtroom was during the Cen
tennial in Philadelphia. He had his
pockets picked while going over the ex
hibitiou grounds. lie had just been
mado a judge of the criminal court in
this city, and somo ot his friends, who
remember how Judge Qildersleeve felt
over the theft, do say that for a long
time pickpockets received very little
merciful consideration when they were
eentenoed according to the jury verdicts,

The first iron ship has more reputed
birthplaces than Homer. Both the Clyde
and the Mersey claim pre-eminence in
this respect. Sir E. J. Roblson, ot Edin
burgh, designed an Iron vessel In 1810,
which was not launched till three years
later; and it is snld that an iron boat
was worked on the Severn even as far
book as 17e7. Steel was not used in the
construction of merchant ships' hulls

their belief that wood was meant by
Providence to float, but Iron to go to the

draperies can be treated In the same
manner with the dyes. Any cotton or

Point, of the Compos. Among Pueblos.
Among tho Pueblo Indians six points
of tha compass are recognized, and each
has its color. North is yellow, west is
blue,south is red, east is white; the upper
regions are many colored and the lower
regions are black. All the prey gods aro
represented by their images ln these six
colors.
For example, there is tho yellow moun
tain lion of tho north, the blue mountain
lion of the west, the red mountain lion
of the south nnd so on. Likewise it is
with tho other beasts, and thus a very
considerable number ot deities Is formed.
All of them must receive worshipful at
tention lest they get angry and revenge
themselves for the neglect. Washington

French Cookery Terms.
With the best of Anglo-Saxon inten
tions it is sometimes a little difficult to
avoid the use of French terms in cookery
or a bill ot fare. Here aro some that ono
encounters constantly: Releve is no dish
In particular so far as the style ol pre
paration is concerned, but answers to
the word "remove," and consists ot a
dish replacing another, u doubling, so to
speak, of the same courso beforo going
on to the next It is' therefore not un
usual to find in a large dinner a releve do
potage, reievo de rot, de gihler, etc. En
tree is a made dish served after the fish
or In its stead, where it is not obtain
able, and preceding the rots or roast
meat. After the latter comes the entre
mets, i. e., sweets or puddings.
The term hors d'euvre is the most dif
ficult to particularize. When cold it
comprises all Bide dishes which are really
accessories to the meal. As such they
can be and are eaten indifferently either
before or after the seup; they are always
placed on the table when it is being laid,
and are often left there until the entrees
have been served. They consist of rad
ishes, olives, caviar, bonlne, all man
ner of salt and smoked Tish, sardines,
anchovies and a variety of dainties.
Hot hors d'euvre ore almost unlimited;
they are very acceptable at large din
ners, and are generally served immedi
ately after the soup and before the fish;
they are often fried or baked, and are
then usually such things as can be dished
on a napkin, such as patties, rissoles,
croquettes, vol-auvent, eta; obviously,
however, the series can be very much
extended. At ordinary family dinners
they are often served as and instead of
an entree. Providence Journal,
The Uoy li" Discovered tb "Saw By."
A few years aur a green country boy
applied to the superintendent of a west
ern railway for work, and, somewhat
against the superintendent's wish, on ac
count of the danger to life and limb at
tendant upon such occupation, was given
a place as brakeman of a freight train.
On one of his first trips it happened
that his train met another freight train
at a station whero the side track was
not long enough to aooommodate either
of tliem. The conductors were debating
which train should baok up to a point
where they could pass, when the new
hand ventured to suggest that neither
should back; that (hey could pass each
other by means of the short side track It
the thing was managed right.
The idea excited a good dea) of laugh
ter on the part of the old trainmen, but
the boy stood his ground.
"Well, how wonld you go about 1U"
asked one ot tho conductors, confident
that the lad would soon find himself
against a stump.
The boy took up a stick and traced in
the sand a diagram to illustrate his plan
"Good graaiousr' said the conductor,
"I believe that will do itl"
And it did do it. Today every train
man in America probably knows how to
"saw by" two long trains on a short side
track, but it is not so generally known
that the thing was never done until ai
Inexperienced country boy, who is nov.
the manager of a great railway Un,
worked out the problem for himself. -Washington
