Obhild! 0 sncot love! dear beyond all measure, how could those eyes so bright and clear de ceive me? That little paw so sore a heart-wound give me? Jly kitten's tender paw, thou soft, small treasure. Oh: could I to my burning lips but press thee. My heart the while might bleed to deathand bless thee. I am very sorry to have to say it, yet I must speak the truth even of her I love most; and I repeat, what I always have maintained, not only that she was comrlete ly in the wrong, but that she ought to con fess it. "We had loved each other all our lives. Our fathers were old brother officers and the closest of friends; and each being widowed and the father of an only child, what was more natural than that when they left the service and her father settled on his estate, my father should take up his quarters in a pretty cottage on his friend's domains? "What plans the two old fellows used to make for their children's future! I, of course, should enter the old legiment; and she, of course, should marry me. Alas! I myself w as the cause of the shattering of the first dream, and subse quent events very nearly put an end to all chance of the second's being realized. When I had reached the age of 17, when my brain ought to have been on fire for the sound of the drum, and my sleep dis turbed bv dreams of the glories of Har, my dear old father discovered through" an intolerable odor which pervaded the house, and was traced to a mysterions box in my bedroom that my mind turned toward science, and that a macerating pot or the dissecting table was more to me than the extermination of the entire British army. I often sigh now as I think of the sad headshakings the poor old gentlemen must have indulged in as they discussed my extraordinary fancy over their wine; and I know that my little playfellow, Avis, treated me to a good deal of contempt when it was confessed that I actually turned Irom "the only profession suitable for a gentleman," and deliberately chose that of a mere sawbones. Poor old father! He loved me too well to oppose me; and one dnll autumn morning I lelt the old home to enter upon my studies at the University of Edinburgh. Why did I go to Edinburgh, and not Loudon ? Well, I think it was partly because I had a feeling that I was breaking with all the old life; and, therefoic, wanted to put hundreds of miles between me and the old home, as I l:ad put hundreds of difficulties between niy lather and the realization of his old hope. How well I remember my arrival that cold, gray morning in the beautiful city! I lelt my lugsrage at the station, and climbed up the steep hill that leads from the land of steam and noise to the most beautiful street I have yet seen in my wanderings. How grandly, aivav to my left, rose the magnifi cent ' Old Town," topped with its castle; and to my right, the gardens and splendid buildings of Princes street; while behind me couched the "Lion," watching over the safety of the maiden city! How lonely I felt among it all how utterly lost! I think that, if all had approved my design to become a doctor, I should at that mo ment have turned and gone back to Eng land, and promised mj-old lather to do anything he might wish. But the vision o! a child with long flowing hair, (de fiant face, and hands clasped behind her, came across my mental vision. She had re fused to bid me goodby. How she would triumph if I came home again, my work un done! Xo! I must go on. So I plucked up heart, and wandered on alone in that un known city, looking for a place wherein to lay my weary head. Before long I lound lodgings, and had my things removed to a little street near the theater. And not many weeks had passed before I was as happy as a king, drinking in all the new mysteries of my chosen profession. Ah! that first enthusiasm, why doesn't it last? "Why, a tL.e i cars go on, does there come in its stead such utter loathing of each fresh step? I did not in the least mind the dissecting room; but the operating theatre the hospital the horror of it all! "Well, it is over; and to that supercilious little figure with the flying hair and the clenched hands do I owe the obstinacy that carried me through these four years of sun thine and shadow. Give in, when she had :id: "I know you will hate it. I hope you will give it up!" Shall I give it up? If ever! The thought of the look of triumph 1 should see in the eyes of that youug girl acted as a spur to me." I worked on. I hardly ever went home; for I was ically "keen on" my work, and Fpent most of my spire time among the foreign hospitals and schools. Then a serious nines', coming upon mejustasl had completed my course, made me decide, on my recovery, to go as a doctor on board a great ship sailing to the other ends of the earth. So thanks to one thing and another, it was not till the slim, awkward boy ot eighteen had changed into a great weather beaten man of four or five and twenty, that 1 once more stood on the old walled "terrace of the home of my little love. And by niv tide was the little love herself! And snen a little love ! At twenty she was no bigger than she had been at fiitcen; but oh ! so much prettier. The hair that had then been often dragged back into a stiff pigtail now wandered in wondrous waves over her little head, poised like a flower on her sweet neck. Xo more ink-bespattered pinafores and scratched hands; no more long, thin spindle-shanks showing underashort and skimpr skirt! io; she was as dainty as a iairy, and took now as much pains to adorn her" already perfect little self as at one time she had seemed to expend on trying lo personate a scarecrow. Yes; I stood by her once again, and knew that I was likely to be near her for the rest of our lives. For my dear father was get ting old, and longed to have his only son beside him. So I was only too delighted when the offer came of a practice in the neighborhood. Yes, I had come home "to live and die," as my aged nurse cheerfully put it, in the home of mv childhood; aud I could hardly believe I was not a child again, as once more I settled into the well-known routine: dined with the two old gentlemen; strolled out as of old on the terrace with my early play mate; climbed at night once more to the familiar room under the thatch; and listened as in years gone by to the murmur of the stream that .Jaa-Jrom her home to mine. Yes, it was all the same! The old women seemed not a day older; the trees very little bigcer; the river just as it had always been. Only, how different it all was: how different tne thoughts that thrilled through my brain the leelings that throbbed iu my heart! Well, well, we need not go over all that strange, miserable, happy time when my mind was filled with doubt and fear; when I knew not whether I was to be the most blessed or the most wretched of men; whether I was to stay contentedly at home lor the rest of toy life or start once more on my travels to heal a broken heart as best I could among foreign lands and uuknown faces. I sometimes fancy that if we could but turn back the "forward-flowing tide of time," I would live these weeks over again. But at length they came to an end. One still June evening, when the moon was but a crescent in the sky, aud the nightingales were singing with all the strength of their tiny throats and fervor of their great hearts, my little love laid her golden head somewhere about the lower edge of my breast-pocket, and gazing up in my face,' promised to overlook the fact that I was only a sawbones and no gallant officer. "Well, you see," whispered the little voice, "you are so big and strong and hand some, it"is no use trying to fight against you. I love you, I love you! and after all. you are my own dear old Clinton; and I'd marry you if you were a sweep, which is even worse than a doctor." And the brave blue eves looked up at me so proudly and so trustingly, that I thought no man had ever before such loving glances cast upon him. Oh, what a happy time we had ! I thought that trouble could Dever touch me more. As I strode home through the soft air to tell my father the glad news, I felt like an archangel. Yes, I fancied my troubles were at an end that I was going to be blessed beyond all human flesh; but I did not yet realize what it is to be an engaged man I .No sooner were we safely-and firmly betrothed, than i my young lady contracted such a habit of flirting as made me stand agape. maintain that sh-j flirted. She insists that she did not ! She says she was only making herself agreeable for the sake of my practice. She repeats that she smiled on the curates, youths from Oxford, retired military men, etas not as men at all, but purely as possi ble future patients! Did I want them bought with her smiles? Still, such an in jured saint did she look when I ventured to expostulate, that I hardly knew how to bear myself; and I used to wonder whether I really was the most suspicious brute on the face of the crccn earth. At length matters reached a climax, and I turned at last. It was in the week of the "Lawn Tennis Tournament" the oue great excitement of our little country side when a young hussar made his appearance, and "contrived to get himself drawn as her partner in the doubles! She declares I am simply talking nonsense when I assert that he got himself drawn as her partner; and she says that it is all done by lots, and that people must play with just whoever falls to their lot! "Well, that is neither here nor there. She need not have behaved as she did. He did not live in these parts of the world: he could not be considered as a possible patient; yet the interest she took in him was most marked. If it is a fact that she could not help hav ing him for her partner in the 'doubles' as they called the thing need she have stood watching him with all her eyes in the "singles," clapping her hands at each stroke he won, or have been the first to congratulate him the moment he had put on his abominable loud "blazer" and marched off the field or court vic torious? I do not play tennis, having more im portant matters "to attend to; nor do I dance particularly well; still at their insufferably dull "tennis ball she need not have thrown me over for him in the pronounced way she choose to do. "Oh, Clinton, may I give Captain Smyth one of vour dances? You won't mind, will you?" " "Oh, certainly not; give him the lot if you like," I answered blandly. I did not know till that moment that the sweetest of blue eyes can flash sparks of ice; but I saw them do it then. "Oh, thank you so much. There, Captain Smyth; that is delightful; you can have three more than I promised you at first." Aud without waiting to listen to my angry expostulation, she sailed away on his arm. 1 Knew 1 had been rude, ana wanted to apologize; and tried hard to catch her eve as she swam round with the handsome Captain, who could dance. But never once were the long, dark lashes lifted, never once did the old smile play across the sweet little face. I went home utterly wretched. Ah, how the little paw could wound my big stupid heart ! I lay awake nearly all night, and during the long hours I made up my mind to hasten, the very first thing in the morn ing, to "make friends" with her. I should tell her I was sorry I had been rude, but should also make her understand that I con sidered 1 had a good deal of cause to feel injured. "Clinton,'' she began very quietly the moment she entered the room, "I am glad you have come. There are some things I innst say to you. I consider that the way in which you have behaved since our engagement has been most humil iating to me." "To you! I do not see what cause you have to speak," I broke out. "I am going to speak," her soft, even voice went on. "I consider your unreason able jealousy as nothing short ot an insult. If you cannot trust me, you had better bid me goodby. There can be no happiness iu a marriage without absolute trust." I hardly know what I said then, whether I J picaaeo. or upDraiaca. J. reraemuer nine ot what befell till I found myself striding through the fields, their corn flowers blue like those angry eyes, and their poppies bright like her scornful red mouth. Was it all at an end, then, the dream of my life? Yes, of course it was over, all over! I must get away, away back to the sea and the wild strange lands; away, eome-v-here, anywhere from all this. But my poor old father! I could not leave him. I must not leave my work; some of my cases w ere in a critical condition. There was no escape. Here I must stay; meet her con stantly; shake hands with her; and yet be as if the world stretched betweeu us. And the dreadful part of it all was that she seemed not to care one little bit. She was the same bright, merry, dainty little creat ure that she had always been. Why n as she so cruel? "Why would she not look at me with a glance of pity, love, remorse? How gladly, at her smallest overture of grace, would I have cast myself utterly on her mercy, and vowed anything she chose to demand of me. But she gave no sign; and I was too proud to approacli her unless she herself seemed to summon me. "What a wretched time it was. How fiercely week by week did I try to harden mv heart acainst her! But everything con- j spired to make that impossible. Hardly a cottage did I enter out 1 heard ot her loving kindness. She seemed to go about like a sunbeam, smoothing coarse pillows, comforting sad hearts, calling smiles" to parched and fevered lips, and looks of love to heavy tyes. How "was it that she, who could be so ten ." der to others, could so hurt the heart tha loved her? How could she keep up our quarrel all this time, when she must se . how it was wounding me, killing(me? I only she would say she was sorry she had vexed me, I should not whisper a word of blame. But say it she would not And so the summer passed; autumn came with its storms and decay; and yet we were no nearer being friends again. FART IL Ye who have scorned each other, Or injured friend or brother, lu this last-fading year; Ye who, by word or deed. Have, made a kind heart bleed, Come gather here. Let sinned against and sinning Forget their strile's beginning, .And join in friendship now: Be links nojlongcr broken, Be sweet forgiveness spoken Under the holly bough. So the wretched months passed till mid winter wai reached. And what a winter! Long before Christmas the snow lay thicK on the ground; and ray poor patients learned full well the joys of a "real old-fashioned winter." I had enough and more than enough work to do; but I was thankful for it. Only in helping and relieving the suf ferings of others could I succeed in forget ting my own pain. As the dull days dragged themselves along, one of my favorite pa tients began to fade away; and at length I had to face the painful task of telling her that, ere the new year came, she would have to enter on the world of the unknown. She was a decent woman, the wife of a dissipated husband, for whom she had toiled till her poor worn-out body could work no more. And now she lay apparently dying in her cold little room, thanking God each day that none of her children had been left to struggle on without her. "Except my poor big child," she said, with that spark of pathetic humor oncsees now and again among our rustics chiefly among the women. "But I seerti to have brought him up very badly, doctor. I must iust hope he may be able to bring himself home at last." "Is there anyone vou would care to see, Mrs. Clerk?" I asked her, late one bitter, cold afternoon. "Why do you ask, doctor? Is the end at hand?" "I can hardly say that. Yet, if there is anyone I could send for to come to you, it might be as well not to put it off." A light gleamed over the tired, plain fea tures. "Oh, doctor, if I could see the little Lady, I think it would make it easier for me. But " and the weary eyes wan dered to the uncurtained window "it be getting dark, and the snow lays thick on the ground. Her couldn't come, now." And she sighed that patient sigh that speaks of a life of renunciation. "Have you no relation, no sister, you would care to see?" I asked. "Ho, sir, no. I'd have liked to see the dear Lady this very night. I think if "she had sung me tosloep , I'd have woke bettor. But it is no use. She couldn't come out, a night liko this." "I'll fetch her in my sledge," I said. The tired eyes opened with such a glad light, that, had it been Queen Victoria I had promised to snatch off her throne and bring to this poor cottage. I should have had to try to fulfil mv word. "Will you, sir oh, will vou?', "Yes." And away over the snow I dashed, nor paused to think till I drew up to the door of the Manor. "Is Lady Avis In?" I asked the footman, and mado my way unannounced to the draw ing room. The lamp was bnrring, subdued by Its flower-like shade; the tea table was drawn up near the fire; an d she, in one of her soft, silken tea gowns, was standing wann ing one perfectly shod little foot at the flame of the blazing logs which roared up the chimney and danced on tho steel prate. Close to her sat a young fellow whom I had never seen. I learned afterward that he was a cousin, who, duiing the years I had been away, had been like a brother to her; but I did not know this then. Did her face grow pale in the red light as she saw me enter? It seemed so; yet she came quietly forward and offeied me tea. "No, thank you," I said as shortly as I could; "thero is no time for tea. There is a woman dying who wonts to see you." All her face grew soft in a moment, "A woman dving! Oh, where? What woman?" "Mrs. Clorlcat the old Farm cottages. Will yon come? The sledge is here. It will save time if vou will come in it with me now." "I will come." "Nonsense,Avis,"cried the young man. "It Is sheer nonsense to think of going out in such an evening in an open sledge. Tho broucrham can be brought round In 20 min utes." "Are the horses roughed?" I asked. "No," said Avis; "ana it would take a long time to get them ready. I will go with you." i"And I shall wait outside, as I don't sup pose the footman relishes holding the horses in the snow." "I have no doubt he has sent for a groom," said Avis, her blue eyes turned coldly away. "You had better drink some tea Harold come witli me for a moment;"and she swept trom the room, tho young man following. Drink tea In the room where that fellow has been! Never! I flung out of the room, and hastened into the night air. A groom had relieved John Thomas at the horses' heads: I had the gratification of observing the contemptuous looks with which he surveyed my scratch team ahd make-shift sledge. A courteous footman in tho hall asked whether I would not step Into the library, and threw the door invitingly open, display ing the wainscoted room, on whose old oak carvingandbrightly-bound volumes the fire light danced deliciously. Holly and mistletoe glinted and twinkled from all corners. It was Christmas eve. "No, no; I will wait here," I answered curtly. At this moment, her light foot-step sounded on the stair; and her lady ship herself tripped into tho lamp light. And what a ladyship! She had not even taken time to change her dainty shoes: but her silken dress was cov ered over with her great white mantle. On her soft fair curls rested a little white fur cap; and about her neck was bound a feath ery boa like a glorified snow flake. Her hands were hidden away in a snowy muff. Haroldwas with her. "Well, my snow-queen," he was saying, "you will frighten the country folks it they meet you like that. You look as if you were playing at Queen Matilda escaping from Ox ford Castle." "Clever boy," laughed Avis, "to remember his history so well." "Meantime, history is repeating itself in the most commonplace lashion in Mrs. CIerk'9 cottage." I lemarked grimly. "Per haps you had better not come. You look too gorgeous for that poor room." "Ami? I never thought. This was the warmest, so I put it on," she began, her great eyes full of distress. "It's all right, dear," cried Ilarold, "you know they love you when you look beauti lul." "They must alwavs love her, then," I thought within my bitter heart. In another moment I was seated beside her; the horses' heads were let go: the bells jangled out; aud the sledge slid over tho snow. It was a glorious night. Above us stretched the sapphire sky, gemmed with myriads of flashing stars; while all around us was silence and the gleaming snow. All the well known landscape was rendered strange and unfamiliar under its pure covering as a dear, dead face is rendered awesome under the thin sheet we spiead after death. The bcllsjangled; tho horses' hoofs clinked against each other now and again as the sledge sped on; but all else was filent. Xot a word did we speak. I caught a glimpse of her face once as she turned it to watch a great whito owl slowly glide oerour heads. How white and still the beautiful lace - as! Was there a tremble about the mouth? On we sped. When we had started, my heart had been ablaze with hot anger. Whb was this youth who had u-urped mv place? "Why had I been cast out of my place? Why had we quanelled? Wliy hud we not made it up again? It was all her fault all. I had been ready to make friends, yearning tor the old com panionship, breaking my heart for her cruel sake; ana she had never cared in tho least. Cared! Sho had been filling up her time and thoughts witli this young Herbert Harold whatever his name might be, and probably a dozen more. She was a mere flirt. In her lieait sho still despised me for being a doctor "only a sawbono," as she ned to say. She waR the daughter of the Lord of the Manor: I well, I was as good as she. I was a man with a man's heart, head, lianas. She had no right to play with mc. Had sho played with me? At that moment I caught tho pure profile nsrainst the lamplight. She had leaned sud denly forward, and was gazing away with a strange, far-away look in her eyes. She worthless! She a flirt! How pure and cold she looked! pure like the snow; yes, and cold like tho snow. Ah no, not cold. With those deep dark eyes, those sensitive nostrils, that exquisite mouth. And yet why not? It is ever ttie most beautiful women who are most cruel. And so w ent on tho foolish, proud, unrea soning thoughts within my Drain, while my heart grow wanner in its love for her at every stride the horso took. How could I help loving her with her dear presence so near me. her garments touching me. her breath rising like incense to heaven through the clear ail? Oh, what a long drive! What a sad sore heart! I lelt as if I could bcarit no longer when the welcome cottage came in sight. Silently wo drove up to tho door. "ir you will go in, I will drive on, and leave "some medicine for another pationt, and come back for you," I said, breaking tho silence for the first time. Without a word, she left me. j I drove on about a mile further, and then returned slowly through the still night. Mrs. Clerk's dwelliug had once been a fine old farmhouse in the days when farmers were opulent and liked their rooms to be roomy. It had "come down" in tho world, however; and wns now divided off .among several families of laborers., But outwardly it was still beantiful to the eye From where I sat alone in the sledge, I looked througti an archway of dark yews toward the old rambling building with its low eaves and mullloncd windows. The steep tiled roof was corered.with the gleam- rig snow: the tall irregular chimney stacks rose black against the deep-bine sky; and from one uncurtained window the ruddy light shone out upon the snow-clad lawn. How still it was! Was the whole world dead? The bells on tho horses heads sounded pain fully loud as tho animals moved- restlessly from time to time. I felt vasruely that I ought to walk them up and down, but the spirit of stillness seemed to have got the better of all my senses. I could not move. About was tho still, silent sky: around, the still, silent world: and in my heart a strange sensation of unfeelingness. The world wns dead. I was dead; everything was dead. Nothing mattered any more. I felt nothing, nothing. Why trouble whether sho loved me or not. It would all be the same when I w as dead. My heart was dead now. The spirit of stillness had wrapped the world in its cold embrace, and my soul was at rest within its arms. I dia Hot mind the delay; I did not feel Impa tient for her return: only, I wished the horses would stand still aud the bells not jangle so. Then, all at once, through the silence stole a beautiful sound, falling like golden snow from somewhere above me. A woman's voice! Singing softly, tenderly, gloriously! I held my breath to listen. No words reached mo only the sweet, clear notes; and even they seemed to come from the voice of a singer in a dream. The voice ceased. A little wind up rose and swayed the trees, as if protesting against the cessation of tho wonderful mu sicthen suddenly there came to me over the snow the sound of bells. The time draws near the birth of Christ; The moon is hid. the night la still: And Christmas bells from hill to hill Answer each other through the inUt. Peace and good-will, goodwill and peace. Peace and good-will to all mankind. The door opened gently closed: and, to the music of the bells, a white figure moved toward mo through the whiteness. Under tho arch of black yews she stepped. Did she do it on purpose? Did she know that the light of the carriage lamp fell full upon her? Did she dieamhow beautiful sho was with tho spirit of her song still on her lips: with the light of her tender action still in her eyes? She stopped and listened. How sweet ly, ghostly, sounded those far-off bells, those strange dream-bells. Not a sound, but their thin beauty dying and growing and dying again! And there she stood and listened "with the wonder growing in her face." "Peace and good will peace;" and then she looked at me, and camcquickly forward next moment she was beside mo in tho sledge. "Sho is asleep," she whispored. "I think sho will get well." "Then let us get home," I answered; and that was all. Jangle, jangle, jangle, went the sleigh bolls, and once moie we moved through the silent world. But we went slowly on. Why? Was it because of the surrounding stillness, which one feared to disturb? Or was it be cause my whole soul was filled and thrilled with the knowledge of hernearne-s. with the knowledire that here were she and I alone in this sleeping this dead woild: the only living creatures in this great silence? Slower and slower went the horses; and yet the road seemed to melt before us; and ever neai er came "home" and parting. But yet we did not speak. The sweet precious moments slipped by; and once more my heart camo alive, and beat and throbbed and suffered. I longed to throw myself down in tho snow before her and humble myself utterly, if only, by my doing so, we might be again as once we naa Deen. uut sun l couiu not do it. Sho had been wrong too. She must meet me half-way. Oh! she must feel it. Why would she not confess it? Could she not see how much braver, nobler, worthier of herself it would be than this in different unconcern, this obstinate silence? "I've dropped my muff," tho clear voice suddenly said quietly. I started as if I had been shot, and came back from my world of thought togazo with uncomprehending eyes on the sweet face at my side. How sweet it was, how calm, how contented ! Why was it not full of shame and contrition? It ought to have been: but no, not u bit ot it ! Thetilue eyes were look ing up at me with the utmost friendliness; the rosy mouth had a smile on it. "Please," she cried "please stop the horses. I've dropped my muff." I stopped tho horses. "Will you please get out and find it for me?" went on tho purring voice, "I will hold the horses." "I may not be able to find it in the dark," said I, "it is white like the snow." "It's w niter," she answered, still smiling. I got out and strode along the way that we had come. My heart was vexed within mo; for I knew she had dropped that wretched muff on purpose that she might ordor mo to go back and fetch it. At that moment my foot touched some thing soft. Tho little white muff! I picked it up: and something dropped out. I stooped and lifted it from the snow. A glove! Such a little glove! Not thinking what I did.I spread it out ou my broad paliu and laughed a bit ter laugh as words that I had read some where came to my mind, "That hand withal looketh somewhat soft and small for so largo a will in sooth." I walked back to the sledge. The lamps were shining with two golden eyes over tho snow: tho horses' bells were jangling: but tho little white lady was sitting very still. I came to her sido of carriage. What a great fellow I seemed! for, standing there on the load, my head wns on a level with hers as she sat in the slcdsre. I held out the muff. Sho did not take it. Her face was turned away. Was she crying? Was that why sho kept her face hidden? Was she ashamed at last? This was well, ah! this was well. I was glad she had como to see the error of her ways. She had taken a long time about it, certainly: but still I would, be generous; I would pardon her at once. I still held the muff out. "Avis, this is your property." "Which!" and a face, not bathed in tears, not blushing with shame, but sparkling and dimpling with laughter, was turned to mine. "Which?" she repeated, looking at me with a world of mischief shining in her eyes. "This," I said severely but my hand shook. "Oh! is that all?" sho said, taking the white fluffy thing in one hand very slowly and looking in my eyes all tho time: while gradu ally a warm littlo bare hand stole out from under the wraps. "I thought )on meant this" and the warm littlo hand was about mv neck. For one wild moment I tried to remember my anger: but the shining eyes weie still smiling into mine: and the next moment the laughing month was warm on my lips. Ah! well, who could have resisted it? In nn instant my arms were about her, and I was saaining her to my heart. How could two young people who loved each other have been so foolish? CJtamber's Journal. A DIVORCE JUDGE DENOUNCED.

The case of liverymen Ilolstoin & Puvogel against Mrs. Leslie Carter will have another air ing in the City Court to-morrow morning The judgment or $1,417 90, with interest, was obtained about two weeks ago, and was le turned unsatisfied. Tho efforts of F. J. Bis choir, the lawyer of Holstein & Puvogel, to serve papers on the fair dclendant were not successtul until 1 o'clock this morning. At that hour an employe of Lawyer Bi choff met Mrs. Carter and Tlaywright Bel ascoatthe entrancoto Mrs. Carter's house, '.'5 Madison avenue. The papers weic handed to Mrs. Carter, but sho dropped them on thesidotvalk. Mr. Belasco picked them up and carried them into the house. The items In the livery bill run from No vember, 1890, to tho 10th of last month, and are especially large during the months of July, August, September and October, when Mrs. Carters took many pleasure drives iu Central Park.- v i 'i . SCIENTIFIC ODDITIES. China Will Embark in the Manufac ture of Bessemer Steel. IRON MAKING IX SOUTH AMERICA. Electricity Plays an Important Tart in Medical Treatment. CHIPS FKOM TUB WORLD'S LABORATORY A large steel producing plant for the Celestial empire is at the present moment ou its way to China, after being constructed at the Tees Side Iron and Engine Works Company, Limited, of Jliddlesborongh, It is a complete Bessemer plant, including two five-ton converters, with cupolas, to gether with blowing engines, cranes and other pieces of machinery. There is like wise the entire machinery for a large rail mill, as well as for a plate aud bar mill, together with about 20 puddling furnaces. Two large blast furnaces of the Cleveland type, capable of producing 100 tons of pig iron daily, with all the necessary ap pliances, are in course of construction on the slope of the Hamyang Hills, opposite the city of Hankow. A foreign technical staff has been secured, and in the course of a few months it is an ticipated that there will be produced in China plates and bars, steel rails, soft steel for ship plates, special metal lor small arms, and other classes of steel and iron. Cer tainly this may fairly be termed "one more instance of the slow but sure progress of the intelligent Mongolian to bring the latest scientific improvements to bear upon the varied industries of that immense empire." The works will cover some 20 acres, and the execution of the whole undertaking in all its details has been iutrusted to the above named Middlesborough firm. An order for 2,000 tons of rails and sleepers was obtained in England some time back, and this is now stated to have been lately increased to 12, 000 tons. Iron Manufacture in Brazil. A bulletin issued by the Bureau of Amer ican Kepublics states that the State of M,inas Geraes, in Brazil, abounds with iron ore. It is not found in veins or strata, buried deep in the earth, but in enormous beds, often lying at the surface, or in mountain masses. These vast deposits are worked only by small scattered furnaces, charcoal being used in the reduction of the ore. Of these small furnaces there are five groups, pro ducing about 3.000 tons annually, the pro duct being used in the surrounding dis tricts in the manufacture of article of home consumption, such as hoes, shovels, picks, drills, nails, horseshoes, etc In the State of Sao Paulo are found de posits similar to the best Norwegian ore, and one of the mines is worked by the Gov ernment establishment, near the village of Sorocaba. This establishment has two fur naces, and produced in 1887 790 tons of pig iron. The ore has about 67 per cent of iron. In Santa, Catharina, not far from a harbor which is accessible to the largest vessels, are vast deposits of hematite, containing 30 per cent of manganese and 25 to 30 per cent of iron. Electricity Used by Medical Men. Electricity is one of the most powerful agents affecting the human body, and yet our knowledge of it, both professional and lay, is very vague. Large numbers of peo ple actually content themselves with tying the battery round their waist, and allowing the current to run in the battery itself, their bodies forming no part of the circuit. This is done in some of the galvanic belts. One might just as well tie the electrodes or poles together round the bedpost, and save he discomfort of carrying this apparatus. Others carry magnets in their pockets, or in bags somewhere on their bodies, the electric current circulating in or round the poles of the magnets, and not in the bodies of the wearer or, at most, the magnetic field affecting only a superficial area of skin. But, in spite of all this inaccuracy and hap hazard application, we shall one day get orderly and scientific in our knowledge of medical electricity, as our medical elec tricians of to-day are men who are appointed as electricians on the staffs of our hospitals, or who give special study to the subject in their daily work not men who are simply the agents of battery manufacturers. A Bleb bnt Unapproachable Country. There are said to be five counties in Mis souri and eleven in Arkansas, comprising a strip of country 125 miles square, that have no railroad communication with the outside world, and are yet wonderfully rich in zinc ore. This section of the country lies south and west of the Memphis Railroad, north and west of the Iron Mountain, south and east ot the St. Louis and San Francisco, and north of the Arkansas river. The zinc carbonates of this region yield 83 per cent and the "jack" GO per cent of pure zinc ore. A traveler, Mr. "V. E. "Winner, of Kan sas City, says that he found in the mountain a cave "even larger than the Mammoth Cave. The manner of life of the people is ex tremely primitive. They live in loghouses without windows. Bacon is their main sta ple of diet, and tobacco their only solace, for saloons are unknown. They seldom work as long as they have food and tobacco in the house. But they are virtuoux, peace able and kindly disposed to the stranger. Uso of Explosives in Mines. It has often been complained that the use of modern explosives in mines leads to the production of such poisonous fumes that a grave danger to the workmen is thus in curred. A short time ago a committee was appointed by the Durham Coal Owners' Association, consisting of representatives of both masters and men, to consider this important question. Careful experiments having been made, the committee came to the conclusion that the fumes produced are not more dangerous than those from gun powder; that carbon monoxide the irres pirable gas which is produced by the com bustion of charcoal, and which has led to so many deaths is present only in traces; that an interval of five minutes should be al lowed to elapse before the men re-enter the gallery in which the charge has been fired; and that as they find a portion of the dele terious gases are due to the fuse employed, the charges should be invariably fired by electricity. Carp for Destroying Mosqaltoss. A correspondent of Kalure describes a method for the destruction of mosquitoes which wc believe is not commonly kuown; and he tells us of an English resident on the Itiviera who had freed his property from this pest. Fresh wateron the Kiviera, as many of our readers well know, is scarce, and therefore it is treasured accordingly. The inhabitants store it for use in tanks and other receptacles. Now, the larvx of the mosquito, ii is asserted, can live only in fresh water, and the carp happens to be a iish which is particularly foud of that larva; as an article of diet. The gentleman re ferred to exterminated the insects by the simple device of placing a pair of carp in each tank attached to his premises. "We feci certain that there are many places abroad wbcre the conditions are similar and where this experiment might be tried with advan tage. Calculating the Distance Trareled. It is often desirable to relieve the tedium of travel by rail by testing the speed at which the train is running along, and many persons amuse themselves by timing this speed by noting, watch in hand, the time at which the various mile .posts are passed. There is a rule, however, which gives ap proximately correct results, which any one may practice without reference to a time keeper. The rails average about 30 feet in length; and the number passed over in 20 seconds equals, roughly, the number of miles per hour at which the train is travel ing. Unless the train is running at a very high speed, say over CO miles per hour, there is no difficulty in counting the num ber of rails passed over, as there .is a dis tinct click a the joint between each pair of rails is covered by the wheeL Recipe for Slaking Ivory. . Natural ivory is composed of tribasie phosphate of lime, magnesia, alumina, gelatine, albumen and calcium carbonate. Many attempts have been made to make an artificial substitute, but until recently they have proved unsuccessful. The process is, briefly, to treat quicklime with sufficient water to convert it to a hydrate, adding to it, however, just before it becomes completely hydrated, an aqueous solution of phosporic acid, and while thoroughly stirring incor porating small quantities" of calcium car bonate, magnesia and alumina, and finally the gelatine and albumen dissolved in water. Thus is obtained a plastic, intimately mixed mass, which is set aside to allow com pletion of the action of the phosphoric acid upon the chalk. A day later, while the mixture is still plastic, it is pressed into the desired form and dried in a current of air about 150 C, and after being kept for three or four weeks becomes perfectly hard. The proportions, which can be colored by the addition of suitable substances, are quicklime, 100 parts; water, 300 parts; phos phoric acid solution (1.05 specific gravity), 75 parts; calcium carbonate, 10 parts; mag nesia, 1 to 2 parts; alumina precipitated, 5 parts; gelatine, 15 parts. Wood Fibre Csed tor Bath Tubs. "Wood fibre or pulp is now employed in the manufacture of bath-tubs, the material being-subjected to powerful hydraulic pres sure. The pores are filled with a harden ing material and subjected to a high heat to make the tub impervious to water. As the articles so made are- in one piece there are no joints or cracks in which dirt can col lect. Owing to the fact that wood is a non conductor of heat and cold, tubs made. of this material possess some advantages over those made of metal. Prodnction of Steel Bails. The production of steel rails this year will amount to 1,000,000 or 1,100,000 tons. The output was considerably cut down dur ing the summer by a strike of the coke workers. Judging from the present pros pect, 1892 will show a large gain over 1891 in rail production; it is estimated that at least 500,000 tons more Bessemer iron will go into rails next year than during the present year. "We see no reason why the iron and steel makers of this country may not breathe more more freely and look for ward to a largely expanded market and better prices for their products. Kolndeer Hals in I.lfe Belts. A new life belt, lately invented at Stet tin, is composed of reindeer hair, confined in at canvas covering. It is in the ordinary shape of a life belt, but is very much lighter than those of cork, weighing only two pounds, and will support 22 pounds of iron in the water. Beiudeer hair is hollow, and contains air, being also imperviovs to water. Thus the life belt may be immersed for any length of time, but is still as buoyant as when put in. The hair, being extremely soft, may be used for ship's mattresses or the seats of chaiis, sofas, etc; also coats, waistcoats or traveling rugs may be formed from it. The inventor obtains the hair from the tanners at Leipsic", to which place the largest number of reindeer skins are exported from Xorway, Sweden and Fin land.
