It was altogether queer, and Jingle- terry to this day does not entirely un derstand it Us had examined his heart as carefully as he knew how, and had arrived at the entirely reasonable con clusion that ho was in love. He had every symptom of that malady. When Miss Marian Uhapznan was witmn range of his vision there was room for.no one else there, lie suffered from thatjpe-; cnliar optical condition which enabled him to see but one thing at a time when she was present, and she was that one thing, which was probably too reason why in his mind's eye she was the only woman in the world, for Marian was ever present before Jingleberry's mental optic. lie had also examined as thoroughly as he could in hypothesis the heart ot this "only woman," and he had or thought he had, which amounts to the same thing reason to believe that she reciprocated his affection. She certainly seemed glad always when he was about. She called him by his first name, and sometimes quarreled with him as she quarreled with no one else, and It that wasn't a sign of lore in woman, then jtngleberry had studied the sex all his years and they were thirty-two for nothing. In short Marian behaved so like a sister to him that Jingleberry, knowing how dreams and women go by contraries, was absolutely sure that a sister was just the reverse from that re lationship which in her heart of hearts she was willing to assume toward him, and he was happy in consequence. Believing this. It was not at all strange that he should make up his mind to pre- pose marriage to her, though, like many other men, he was Boraewbat chicken hearted in coming to the point. Four times had he called upon Marian for the sole purpose ot asking her to become his wife, and four times had he led up to the point and then talked about some thing else. What quality it is in man that makes a coward of him In the pres. ence of one he considers his dearest friend is not within the province of this narrative to determine, but Jingleberry bad it in its most virulent form. He had often got so far along in his proposal 'Marian er will you will you " and there he had ns often stopped, con tenting himself with sncli commonplace conclusions as "go to the matinee with me toinorrowr" or "ask your father for me if he thinks the stock market Is like ly to strengthen soonV" and other amaz ing substitutes for the words lie ho ar dently desired yet feared to utter. But this afternoon the one upon which the extraordinary events about to be narrated took place Jingleberry had called, resolved not to be bilked in his determination to learn hi fate. He had come to propose, and propose he would, mat cerium, llin confidence in a successful termination to his suit had been re-enforced that very morning by the receipt of a note from Miss Chap man asking mm to dine with her par ents and herself that evening, and to accompany them utter dinner to the opera. Surely that meant n great deal, and Jingleberry conceived that tbe time was ripe for a blushing "yes" to his long deferred question, ho lie was her in the Chapman pallor wailing for the young lady to come down and become the recipient or the "interesting inter rogatory," 113 it is called ill soms sec tions of Massachusetts. "I'll ask Iter the first tiling," said Jingleberry, buttoning up liU Prince Albert, as though to impart u possibly needed stiffening to his backbone. "She will say yes, and then 1 shall enjoy the dinner and the opera so much the more. Ahemt 1 wonder if 1 am pale 1 feel sort of um There's a mirror. That will tell." Jingleberry walked to the mirror an oval, gut framed mirror, such as was very much the vogue fifty years ago, for which reason alone, no doubt, it was now admitted to tbe gold and white parlor ot the house of Chap man. "Blessed things, these mirrors," said Jingleberry, gazing at the reflection of his face. "jdoreasBunng. I m not at all pale. Quite the contrary. I'm red as a sunset. Qood omen that! The sun is setting on my bachelor days and my scarf is crooked. Aln The ejaculation was one of pleasure. for pictured in the mirror Jingleberry saw the form of Marian entering the room through the portieres. "How do you do, Marian? Been ad miring myself in the glass," he said, turning to greet her. "1 r" Here he stopped, as well he might, for he addressed no one. Miss Chapman was nowhere to be seen. "Dear me!" said Jingleberry, rubbing his eyes in astonishment, "flow extraor dinary! I thought sure 1 saw her why. I did see her that is, 1 saw her reflection in the gla Ha! hat She caught me gazing at myself there and has hidden. He walked to the door and pulled the portiere aside and looked into the hall, There was no one there. He searched every corner of the hall and of the din ing room at its end, and then returned to tbe parlor, but It was still empty And then occurred tbe moat strangely unaccountable event in his life. As be looked around the parlor he for the second time found himself before the mirror, but the reflection therein, though it was of himself, was of himself, with his back turned to his real self, as be stood gazing umazedly into the glass: and besides this, although Jingleberry was alone in the real parlor, tbe reflec tion ot the dainty room showed that there he was not so, for seated in her accustouiea graceiut auuuae in me re flected armchair was nothing less than the counterfeit presentment of Marian unapmau nerseir. . It was a wonder J ingleberry's eyes did not lau out or bis head, ne starea sa What a situation it was, to be sure, to stand there and see in the glass a scene which, as far as he could observe, had no basis in reality: and Interesting it was for Jingleberry to watch himself going through the form of chatting pleasantly there in the mirror's depths with the woman lie loved! It almost made him jealous, though, the reflected Jingleberry was so entirely independent of the real Jingleberry. The jealousy soon gave way to consternation, for. to tbe wondering anitor, the independent reflection was beginning to do that for which he himself had come, in other words, there was n proposal going on iu the glass, and Jingleberry enjoyed the novel sensation or seeing now ne him self would look when passing through a similar ordeal. Altogether, however, it was not as pleasing as most novelties are. for there were distinitslgns In the faceor tbe mir rored Marian that the mirrored J iugle- berry's words were distasteful to her and that the proposition he was making was not one sho could entertain under any circumstance, tihe kept shaking her head, ami the more she shook it the more the glased Jingleberry seemed to implore her to be his. finally Jlngl berry saw his quicksilver counterpart fall upou his kueas liefore Marian of the glass and hold nut lilt arms and lianda toward her iu an attitude of prayerful despair, whereupon the girl sprang to her.ieot, atamiwa berlert root furious ly upou the floor and pointed the unwei uouie lover to the tloor. Jingleberry was tairly staggered. What could iMtheiuaaniiigofeoextraor dinary a fraak of nature." Surely it mutt be lu-ophetic. 1'ate was kind oouifh tu warn him in advance, no doubt; otherwue it was a track. And why should aha etoop to play so paltry a trick aa that upou him? Surely fate would uot be to petty. No, it was a warning. Tha mirror had been so af fected by soma sapsroatural agency that , it divined and reflected that which was I to be, instead of conttntmg iutlf to what 1 Juudtasmr called. ' ,imnUUBfty." It I ledlnstead 6f following 6r acting co I incidently with the reality, and it was 1 the lwrt of wisdom, he thought, for him j to yield to its suggestion and retreat, and as he thought this ha heard a soft, sweet voice behind him. 1 "I hope you haven't got tired of wait ing, Tom," it said, and, turning, Jingle berry saw the unquestionably real Marian stauding in tbe doorway. No, he answered shortly. "I 1 have had a pleasant very entertaining ten minutest but 1 must hurry along, Marian," lie added. "1 only came to tell yon that 1 have a frightful headache, and r 1 can't very well manage to come to dinner or go to the opera with you tonight." Why, Tom, pouted Manan, "i am awfully disappointed. I had counted on you, and now my whole evening will be spoiled. Don't yon think yon can rest a little while, and then come?" Well. I 1 want to. Marian." said Jingleberry, "but to tell the truth I 1 ealiy am afraid 1 am going to be ill. I've had such a strange experience this afternoon. I,"t Tell me what it was." susirested Marian sympathetically, and Jingleberry did tell her what it was. He told her the whole story from beginning to end what he had come for, how he had hap pened to look in the mirror and what ho saw there, and Marian listened atten tively to every wora ne sua. sne laughed once or twice, and when he had done she reminded him that mirrors had a habit of reversing everything, and V . nv ntt,..', TlnlaV,aa 1, n ,1 ache went, and and well, everything went John Kendrick Bangs in Chicago Post.

When the hour for adjournment was al most reached a male client of the creed arose, lis was notoriously long winded. When delivering nn addrena or opinion he treated the possibility of eternity with contempt. In this case the audience could not escape. He held it there Bomo time over an hour, and Anally eat down. to the great relief of the people. The pastor glanced at the programme for the evening. Unfortunately for him, jierhaps, the preacher had designated on the written slip only the number ot the hymn to be sung. Consequently he announced, "We will sing hymn number three." And num ber three turned out to be no less triumphal selection than the grand old "Itollelniah, "ns Done. Perbapa never before in tbe hhrtory of that congrega tion was the moving melody sung with more meaning and enthusiasm. Cin cinnati Times-Star. Why the People Smiled. There is an honest and jolly butcher who does business in Eighth avenue not far from tbe Central park entrance. He is a large and heavy man, his wife Is al most as heavy, and his grown daughter weighs nearly 200 pounds. It is custom ary for this weighty family to take a ride in the batchers delivery wagon every Sunday afternoon, and the trio, dressed in Sunday finery, present a very imposing appearance. The women are particularly fond of bright colors. One or two Sundays ago this party arrived on Riverside drive and attracted much attention. The complacent butcher and bis female companions seemed to more than nil the stont wagon, and doubtle they were wholly unconscious of the reason for the merriment caused by their appearance. On each side of the Wagon was, painted in. bold, black let ters, "Dressed Beef." New York 'times. dllrroi. Many V.ai. Aau, A historian has it that as early as four centuries fore Christ these metal mir rors were in such common nag among the Romans that unv maid servant could have as many as she could hang; at her girdle, which probably accounts ror the fact that they gradually fell Into desue tude among ladles of the higher" classes and led to the, introduction ot substi tutes. It Is hardly to be supposed, how ever, that it was this fact which induced some ingenious person so to cut and bur nish tbe Inside of drinking cups as to re flect the face of the drinker many times In a highly warning manner. In addition to the small hand mirrors which it nsed to be the particular dnty ol some unfortunate young slave to hold before her mistress, there were panelsof stone set in the walls and so highly pol ished as to serve as mirrors. It was this use ot dark stone that first suggested the use of glass for reflecting purposes, which according to Pliny, was first man ufactured at the glass works of a gen tleman named Sldon, Black glass was first used: afterward clear glass with black foil on tbe back replaced It Pliny tells ns all about this, and from this time on no mention Is made of glass mirrors until the Thirteenth century, when Franciscan monk, Johannes Peckham, speaks of mirrors, not only of poliihed marble and steel, but also ol glass cov red with lead on the back. By this time the amalgam used in making glass mirrors was much like that ot today, the difference being in the method of its application. The process was to spread tinfoil on a plain surface. to pour mercury over that and rub the two together with the hand or with hare's foot. Tbe amalgam thus formed was then covered with paper, over which glass was laid. The paper was then withdrawn and weights pressed on the glass, pressing out the excess or mer cury. New lork World. Didn't Kaow Its Value. A few days ago I met a man from Bal timore who tried to persuade me that some people down that way do not know as much about things pertaining to civ ilization as tbe average Indian does, and ho told me the story to prove it. Said be: "I'm very fond of horseback riding, and I go off on trips for a week some times. On one of these journeys 1 stopped for a minute at a drug store in a Maryland village and flung the reins of my horse to a colored boy who was standing on the sidewalk. On return ing I thanked thelad, handed Mm whatl supposed to be cent and galloped away Half an hour later I discovered that in- tttad ot a cent I had iriven him a five dollar gold piece. I had not taken mueff money for my trip, and was quite a way from home, and I couldn't spare my pocket piece just then; at least I didn wautto. I turned back over the road and re-entered the shop. Said 1, 'Have you seen anything of the boy that held my horse here snout an hour ago; "The druggist laughed. 'I guess,' said he, 'I know what you have come (or. It s a fire dollar gold piece, isn t it?' " 'Yes," said I, a little surprised. " 'Well, the boy came iu here and showed it to me, and asked if I would give him a good cent for it, " 'cause he didn't know uuffln 'bout dst klu' money." I saw that there was a mistake and gave him a penny for it' "You can guess I was pretty glad nt the amount of ignorance there was in the world just then, 1 refunded tlio cent, pocketed my gold piece and rode off. ' Urooklyn Eagle. I'ronuBclatlon of klMge t-eopl. Mr. (J. W. Dancy complains very bitterly of the disregard by actresses of tbe value of the vowel sound. He aays that "luitry" (oi dipthong) was the sound recently given to "poetry," and immediately "diary" became "diry," while that pitfall of cockney rhyme sters "sure" inevitably delights the ex pectant ear as "shore." He has also heard "obsurd" givep for "absurd," while "ommistlou" "comitsion" and "ocur" are frequent rendering of "omis sion," "commission" ttnd "occur," and "secret" masquerades thinly diagulted as "tecrit." Blisiona and clippings are favorite errors, particularly among rapid speakers. Take as recent illustrations "lnUmit" for "intimate," "s"port" and "t'pose," for "support" aud "suppose." In the matter of "h't" actors and ac tresses are com mend ably sound, and "the vtry rare lapses la tt quarter are Invariably dat to Btrreuaueas." Leaden Ttlsts&nh. IN THE SHADOWS.

"Lalla Rookh" was read universally and translated into several European languages. Tbe poem has no lofty Mil tonic flights no hall of Eblis reaching the height of the snblime but it is cal culated to suit the taste of every order of the mind, Young nnd old, educated and uneducated, comprehend its luxu rious Imagery, sweet passages, fascinat ing descriptions and gorgeous voluptu ousness; hence the uncommon popular ity of the poem. Those who have hearts for the deeper things of humanity what enjoyments come not from ext il color, orient hues and Tyrian purplei will prefer the heart which is shown iu many of Moore's other productions. Westminster Beview. Apples at Medicine. Chemically, the apple is composed of vegetable fiber, albumen, sugar, gum, hlorophyl, malic acid, gtllb acid, lime and much water. Furthermore, the Qermaa analysts say that the apple con tains a larger percentage ef phosphorus than any other fruit or vegetable. The phosphorus is admirably adapted for re newing the essential nervous matter, lecithin, of tbe brain and spinal chord. It is perhaps for the same reason, rudely understood, that old Scandinavian tradi tions represent the apple as the food of the gods, who, when they felt themselves to be growing feeble and infirm, resorted to this fruit for renewing their powers of mind and body. Medical Age. Why They Wouldn't Cub It. A well known broker presented one ot John Jacob Aster's checks at a down town bank the other day and was sur prised beyond measure when the paying teller refused to cash it, remarking with a significant smile: "That man's checks are so good here. He gives us more trouble than all our depositors put to gether. We won t touch it "What!" exclaimed the broker, "won't cash that check? Why, man alive, d'ye know who Mr. Astor is? (Ireat" "Hold on," interposed the teller; "the check isn't signed. We get 'em that way every day. They are the most trouble some of all our depos" But the broker bad fled. Iiew York Tunes. A Clers7naa Cobbler. An old fashioned Yorkshire Baptist preached every Sunday for fifty years, and repaired shoes thronahont the week. The good man, who knew his' Bible' by heart, stndied Jonathan Edwards, Mat thew Henry and D wight, and paid his way. Some of his brethren sneered, and respectable persons turned up their noses at his leather apron, but the common people heard the old man so gladly that he did more real good than did many a pulpit thumper attired in the bravery of gown and bands. He was one who knew how to make the best of both worlds, and at his death left his widow a house and money in the bank. Na tional tteview. All for Flee Cents.

Why tha Hair Orawe (.I'm). Aa to the hair growing gray, it results in the majority of cases from the par tial closing of the hair cells and the re daction of the quantity of natural color ing matter which the closing produces. Albany Jtxnrees. A Theory A boat Uu'i Ueud. There Is a theory favored by the disci ples of Darwin that the beard is merely the survival or a primitive decoration. Man, according to this new, was orig inally as hairy as the opossum itself, but as he rolled down the ages he wore the hair off in patches by sleeping on his sides and sitting against a tree. Of course the hair of the dog is not wom off In this way, bnt 'a great tbeory is not to be set aside by an objection so trifling, By and by our ancestors "awoke to the conaciouxDees that they were patchy and spotty," and rtaomng to "live down' all hair that was not ornamental they with remarkable unanimity seem to have fixed on the- eyebrows, the mus tache and unfortunately, aa the self scrapers mostly think the beard as be ing all that was worth preserving of the primitive covering. English Illustrated Magazine. Snap ghatt at IWjaltj. King George is to Air what the Prince of Wales Is to Homberg, He is remarka ble for extreme assurance, tempered with reserve, and wears his hat slightly on the side of his head as he strides along the streets, looking straight at people as if to invite them to get out of bis way. He Is an habitue of the casino and the csxdrooms. On alighting from his carriage yesterday a number of pho tographers ran up to take snap shots at him. Seeing this the king good naturedly stopped and "stood fire," turning his face toward them. On returning to his carriage when the visit was over he did the same, saying aloud when he thought they ought to have done, "Ca y est" (It's all right, Is it not?) a remark that elic ited great laughter. London News. Tbraa Vlewe ur Stare. M. Flammarion, the French astrouu mer, regards it as very probable that the dark areas of Mars are water and the bright oneshuid.
