A STORY SUCCESSFULLY TOLD.
Protty, plump Jrs, Archibald
Stoole wroto the following paragraph
iu odo of hor letters to bur husbuud
the other day s
John muni oomt down her at onoe,
whether you oan epar biin or not. Our
dear little i,aura ia greatly taken with a
tall, young man, with a hooked no and
thin lip, oallcd 8ioyveaaut. It ia wbie
jiered about the total that he 1 a very
food niaiob, and Uaura' eye a indeed
all lb other pretty rya about or per
petually beeeeotaiug him for attention. In
lb daytime he ie alway with along black
boree, that oover mora ground with it
leg wbil it gjing than any other ani
mal I aver it. When I.oua goea out to
tit-ire behind it, and vanialioa out of sight
with lb bony crealcre, I tremble to lliiuk
bow dreadful il would be if uur dtar liillo
girl would ever be part and parcel of Ibi
wralabed man and hi beaal. Bo 1 thiuk
John had bettor come down at once. 1
-quite long to - hi bau laotne fio and
bear hi boneat foice, aud I think it ia
about liin that John ehould tell hi little
lory to Laura auiMiava thiug settled
Muuiioriably.'
Mr. Archibald Steels smiled when
he put the lottur of bis wife iu Lis
waibtcout pocket, aud picking lip tliu
morning paper, 6oauued through, bis
'gold-ritnuied spectacles the news of
ttio duy. Finding nothing therein to
reliuo the cxeoediug satisfactory con
dition of hie affairs, he put it down
smiling as ouly a prosperous, cou
touted down-town merchant can
eniilo. llo stopped to the door of
his office and beekoued to a young
man with strip of couiiut roial paper
iu his baud. aud a puueil behind his
ear, with tho geuoral air of briekuoss
and shrowduess about him that bo
tokoued a successful dowu-town
murchaut etnpryo. Mr. Stoole smil
ed tho third time, with the air of
oue who was not at all aft aid of uuy
bluo'bloodod obtitacla that might bu

piuoas. John,' said Mr. Steele, closing
the door of his private office, aud
looking upon his young clerk bonov
oloutly, "I'va got au order fiou:
Mrs. Stoelo which I wish you would
Attend to.'
"Cortainly, Bir,' said John j 'shall
I go out and get tho articlos lay

"Why tho fact is, John,' saiAtho
ruerchaut, enjoying his joke more
nod more, 'its ouly ono articlo a
rather bulky oue. It was bargaiuod
for a long time ago I think you
will have to go down with it, John.'
"Down to tho seashore 1' said
John, getting a littlo hot and flus

"Well, perhaps yonr natural mod
esty may depreciate its worth, John
Mrs. Steele and I thiuk a good deal
of it, and Laura, too, I am sure
tloes. The commodity Is yourself,
John, Mrs. Steele wanta you to go
down and take a little holiday thoro.'
When tho name of Laura was
mentioned the young mau'a faoo
prow more flustered and hot than
before.
"You are Tory kind, sir,' be aaid,
''and Mrs. Steele is more like an au
gol than a woman."
"Rather solid aod plump for that
Interposed Mr. Hteolo, but likiog tho

"But it Is a slmplo madnosH," pur
sued John, "to dream of further

All the way to tho seashore John's
face wore tho look of one who bad
rosolved to storm a deadly breach,
but who did not bopo to survive the
attempt.
bven the oconn, when it confront

I non tho horizon a pile of clouds

Steele.
A tramp on tho hard, wot situd,
and liko a meteor a long black horuo
shot by, disappearing in tho uiit,
losvtog for John tho memory of n
charming hoad, crowned with bloude
curling hair, two kind eyes bout up
on his own, and a white waving baud
extended in salutation.
"John," said Mr. Sloolo, 'did yon
boo the faoo of that m-iu T 1 count

I ouly saw Laura, Bir, said John,
simply.

Laura taSf.od her eyes proudly.
"No dangor of that, papa i aud

i Tho Earth A Vast Furnaco.
While engaged last May in watch
ing tho transit of Murourv, Profess
or Proctor and his assistant obscrv
ed tin iutensely bright spot iu tho
coutru of tho planet as it crossed
tho sun's disc It is repot fed that,
souu through their powerful refract
ing telescope, it appeared as a mere
vivid point of light, central in the
planet, like a bide pierced in th
middle of a piece of round black
cardboard. It was permanent from
thu time tho planet's centre touched
tho oue limb of the suu until it left
tho other limb a period of seven
hours. "If tho obi'rvution was re
liable," says a comment ator, '"it
proves that that plants has a hollow
axis. There are hypothesists like
John Cloves Sytuiucs, who hive
long held that tho axis of the other
planet spheres of our solar system,
is similarly hallow, with a clear tu
bular passage from tho North to
South Polo. If such is the fact, it
is thought that should auy of tho
bulloouists of Cheyno's expedition
reach the Polo they will bo rather
warmly received, tho theory being
that if the earth is a hollow cylinder,
each of tho Poles is tho mouth of a
vast furnaco. la this way a German
specialist acoouuts for tho Aurora
Uoroalie, attributing tho mybtor
