the household of No. -7 Priucrs' man

tor in a novel.
"The motif originate 1 from your brain,'
remarked Lis fair colleague, Mated o;;e
afternoon in the room which acted both
as a lii)r-.ry and s.uokicg-rooui. 'T shall

of his collaborator with ma:iif;ct admi

fervently, dropping the US. upon the

pendale writing chair. '1 hadn't the
ghost of a notion how to set about a de
Cirit sentence let alone a novel. But
you "he laid bid hand upon thesKui
ringers still holding the pen, and his ve
hement pressure lilted up the pause with
greater signiticar.ee than any mere phrase
could have done.
At this couipiiiiientMrs.Trlttoa's l.a-'rd
eyes sparkled brightly ; but she shooi
her cm ly chestnut head in laughing de

gifl upon his colleague, Saul induced Mrs j
Trittoa to accompany him to thejAel-

stones, now set ia a necklace, had been
entrusted, under the pretense that her
aiil was needed to select a present for
aorue lictitious feminine c.ushi.
Alter iiiiich dl-cussiou the lady i'malty
H-'ec;ed a g'Kd bracelet, w hereon the
word "Amor" tpaiklcd ia dlauionds.
This business dis; osed of, Saul Johnson,
htlecting a nonchalant tone, asked Mrs.
Tfiltoa if she would care to see his cele
brated ttoues.
"Ceitainly," n'piiedthe la Jy joarnaiist
looking np from her note book w iiha
pleased smiled. "And il" yoa would al
low me, I might make a little paragraph
anent your necklace."
"With pleasure," said the young man,
tiat'.ered at the prospective mention of :
his diamonds in thecolumnsof the Sj. iri-
Ir. "At what do you estimate the value
of this necklace?" he asked iu a would
be careitsj tone, turning to the jeweller.
"Five thousand poua ls?"
"Nearer ten thousand," replied the man
displaying the glittering necklace in the
afternoon sualigut. "Tuese stones are of
the finest luster, and are quite worth that
money."
Not without some diilicul'.y upon the
return to Prince's niaasioa could Saul
Johnson induce his colleague to accept
the bracelet as a birthday oCering.
"Please take it as a remembrance of
our collaboration." urged the young man
vehemently, fastening the bracelet upon
Mrs. Tritton's wrist. ' You must guess
that tbe inscription exactly describes

quickly, w ith a demure look at the glit

and though I accept tiiis lovely bracelet
from my collaborator with deepest grati

"By the time I return the novel will

Trittcn, the day cfhia departure. "Au

It was probably the anxiety to nsjure

quent vL-ita of her collaborator. Doubt

which led him to purchase tickets iorlha

to her literary powers, .Mrs. Tritton at

and, alter some fiirtlie debuts, acceded

As he eiKjkii he slipjed the ornament
round Mrs. Tritton's w hi to throat, and,
snapping the catch llrinly, bent down
softly to bestow a furtive kiss ou the tiny
carls at the nape of her neck.
"No, no," said Mrs. Tritton, turning
hastily rouud, "Jo not ask me. I cannot

As though to Uiilastcn the orr. amect,
she stretched out one hand iu a vain, en

' There, the matter is decided," exclaim

and throwing it around her shoulders.
"Come, Lillian, it is time we started."
In vain -Mrs. Tritton protested. With
an air of authority, Mephisto silenced the
fair spirit, and conducted her to the car

ed Mrs. Tritton, in a treuihling tone.
'Never," replied Saul pas uonately,
pressing theg'oved hand to his iips.
Four hours later Mrs. Tritton, ilushed
with excitement and leaning on her col
laborator's arm, emerged irom the bril-iiantly-lightel
building, wliich, at .' a.
., stiil resounded witri the strains of
music. The line of carrii g?rs exteuded
down the street, a crowd of loafers
anxious lo earn an odd copper, blocked
the path and criticised tat dresses of the
mas-pueraders with an unlicensed free
dom of sH"ech.
"As with some diliicalty, Mrs. Tritton,
her cloak left carelessly unfastened at
the neck, made her way through the
throng, the glitter of the necklace in the
lamplight arous;! murmurs of admiring
comment. In tneir eagerness to obtain
li better view, the crowd jostled against
the Spirit of (iolcondain a manner that
annoyed and alarmed her escort, and it
was with a feeiing -of relief that boLi
inas'piera lera gained the brougham,
which drove rapidly olTto Prince's man
sions. The close proximity cf his companion,
whose fair face looked more thaa usually
lovely in its setting of white fur, fired
Saul Johnson's blood to a fjver heat of
passion. Words of ardent love trembled
ou his lips ; he bent toward Mis. Tritton,
who at that moment complaining cf the
stilling he.t of the carriage, was striving
to throw open her cloak.
"My dariing," be began, w ith a fervent
look, and stooping down to kiss the soft,
white, throat so temptingly exposed to
his view. "You kno 1 iove" An
expression of disiuay astonishment inter-

"The diamonds gone" fell from her
lips in choked accents, as, with adistract
el air, she grasped Saul Johnson's arm
and burst into a tlood of tears
Alarmed by the sight of her nncon
tri!ed agitation, her quivering lilt", her
eyes dilated with terror, her sobs of die
tress, as in a feverish search she shook
again and again at tne folds of her gown
and cloak, Saul Johnson, after his first
expressions of di.ui.iy, endeavored to
soothe Mrs. Tritton into a more tranquil
state of mind.
"Never mind, dearest," he said clasp
ing the trembling hands, "the necklace
has probably dropped ia the carriage.
It is certain to be found when we alight."
But Mrs. Tritton, with tears streaming
down her cheeks, refused to be pacified.
In broken tonea she explained that as
she had passed through the crowd she
had distinctly felt a hand on her cloak,
though iu the hurry of the moment had
thought nothing of the action. Tiie neck
lace was gone forever. Her husband
would learii everything, and "ohew as
ruined she was ruined."
"No, no, ciiel Saul passionately 'you
shall never be reproached. Before your
husbands returns you must come with
me. You know how devotedly I love
you. To-morrow we will leave F.iigiar.d
together. Say you will consent, dearest!"
Caressingly he passed his arm round
the weeping woman, and, leaning her
head oa his shoulder, Mrs. Tritton grad
ually allowed herself to be comforted.
Before the bfoughara bad reached
IViuce's mansions Saul Johnson had con
trived to wia over his companion's con
sent to au elopement. A U-rribie dread
of her husband's w rath evidently reig.'.ed
supreme in Mrs. Tritton's uiind.
The cairiag-.i stopped. Followe-.t by
Saul, Mrs. Tritton alighted and made her
way into the dark bail.
"Come in for a few moment," she said
turning a tear-stain -'.1 face to her coin
noiiion. "I told Parker to lay supper,"
opening the dining-room door. "How
stupid of her to turn out the lights."
ir.qi.ng his way through the pitch
darkae-s, MephlstophelcS fumbled vain
ly for a liitht.
"You wi'u tind tbe matched on the mantel-piece,"
said Mrs. Trit on, sinking into
the first arui-chur. "Oil, Saul, dearest,"
sighing deeply, fea that my love alone
can never atone for everything."
"My darling," said Saul, striking a
match, and applying the iight to a candle
which ornamented the supper tabic,
"your love will coiuen:ite a man for
any loss. To-morrow, dearest," g'am ing
fondly across the table, "we shall leave
Kngland, and your fool of a husband will
never team the true hhtory of this
night'
"You infernal s.-ounlre! 1" roared &
voice in his oar, while a tremen lo is blow
ou his shoulder caused the young man to
reel backward under t'.xt unexpected
shock. 'You curl Sj tais is the way
you take advantage of aiy a'usence. And
you also, madam," thundered Mr. Trit
ton, evidently being disturbed by the un
toward ei.try cf the late comers, "so you
and your precious collaborator were to
elope before I returned ? Fnfortunatciy,
uiy sudden arrival has spoiled this little
arrangement."
His face purple with wrath, Mr. Trit
ton, paused momentarily for breath. At
the tirst sound of her husband's voice
Mrs.lr.tten had uttered a terrified cry,
and, in a half fainting condition, had
dropped forward, burying her head on
the table. The shock of surprise over,
Mephistopheles, though inwardly treuib
ing, endeavored to confront his injured
host with a bold front.
'Not a word, sir!" shouted thela'ter,
a3 the youns: man was about to force
some reply to Lis lips. "Were it not f or
the presence of this woman, I would
horsewhip you on the soot. Y'our das
tardly coud j.t is a nice return for all my
hospitality.''
With something of the feeling of the
whipped hound, S;,ul Johnson sullen'y
grasped his cloak un l hat, an.!, edging
his way past Mr. Tritton, male for the
door.
i
A week later Mrs. Tritton, absorbed in
thought, f it at the window of a private
sitting-room in tiie Iiot-l Hoilan ie, Am
sterdam. Across her miud, among vari
ous image?, ilitted most frequently the
figure of her quondam collaborator.
"Por fellow 1" ran her thoughts. "lie
was really very much in love. And bow
heroic of him never to mention the loss
of the necklace. I scarcely credited him
with such generosity of feeling."
At this point her uiedlta tions were in
terrupted by the violent opening of the
door. Holding a morocco cose in his
hand, Mr. Trittoa entered, his again ex
pressive of intense rage'
" Fool 1" be iuid, furiously, throwing
tli case into his wife's lap. "With alt
yo.tr boasted cleverness, to be dujied by
that you p.g scoundrel!"
With a dismayed look Mrs. Tritton had
risen to her feet, and now stood, giam-ing
first at her hnsbf.nd and then at a glitter
ing necklace which reposed on its velvet
bed in the morocco case.
" Woa't Van Yit give your price?" she
asked, faltering!-.
"My price 1" he reiterated, ia accents
of scathing contempt. "The netklace
you so artistically stole, mvlame, signi
fied your i xact value iu the eyes of your
love-sick collaborator. The scoundrel"
with a tremendous expletive "had the
audacity to lend you a substitute of
worthless paste l"
Figuring it Out
Th? earnr-st-looking man was fi curing
oa scraps of taj-er at a very busy rate
when a reporter who had dropped in
wanted to know whit hewn at.
" Making out bills cf fare for the time
I shall be at the Chicago show," answer

"Bills of fare?"
- Yes. I'm going to have a regular as

And the financier leaned back and ad-3nire-l

Told in Court.
In a case before the Magistrates in
which a man was charged with threaten
ing his wife with a caiviiig knife, the
defendant, to the amusement of the
Court, said "Le ought to have Wiken the
advice given by old We Her, 'to bevare
of the vidders.' That was ail he had to
say in his defense." He was reminded
by tl.e Bench that Lis recollection of
that advice would not avail hiiu much if
he broke the law by threatening his wife,
aad he was bound over to keep the
peace.
Intoxication is often pleaded by pris
oners ia their defense, coupled at times
with very odd excuses. Aa Irishman
not long since was sumruoued before a
beech of county Magistrates for being
drunk ami disorderly.
"lo you know what brought you here'."'
was the cpustion put to him.
'"Kaix. ver Honor, two policemen,"
replied the piisoner.
"Had not drink something to do w ith
bringing you here?" said the Magistrate,
frowning.
"Sorticly," answered Paddy, unabash
ed. "They were both drunk."
The inebriate, w boon being reproached
for not leading a regular life denied the
charge by saying "he returned home
every night intoxicated," was scarcely o
ingenious iu his defease as the Scotchman
iu toe following :
"Huilo, James, tiiisy as usual. What
in the world has set you on the spree
now ?"
"Ah ye maunna be harsh, governor
did ye no hear n.y grand whistling
canary was dead?"
"Snipi I fellow, leaving 'our work an. I
getting drunk fir the dealh of a biid.
I'oii't you know a man should look mn
sni'.ii iiu idenLs as triiles?"
"Sol do, governor, so I do, man ; but if
ye wanted a spree yersel', ye wad be glad
of my oi.y handle to t:ira the crane wi'."
Legal aaaals could furnish u.any
itisiances of quite as queer excuses
pleaded by the accused as the following :
The widow of a French chemist, famous
for his research in toxicology, was on trial
for poisoning her husband. It was
proved that .arsenic was the medium
employed.
"Why did you use that poison?" asked
tl.s presiding Magistrate.
"Becaufe," soi l ed the culprit, "it was
the one he like 1 best."
A man accuse-1 of appropriating a pair
of loots explained that "his intentions
were far from stealing them. The reason
he continued wearing them was that he
had r.i't enough money to buy another
air, and when he had draw a his next
wayes he would most certainly have
bought a new pair an 1 taken them back."
The defense was not considered satisfact

There is a Yarkee smack about the
following : The clerk of the court bade
the witness give his name and holdup
Lis hand to be sworn, lie took the oath
with such dignified composure that
every one felt there stood b.f ire them
a calm, self collected, truthfal ma, w hose
evidence would go far to convince the
minds of the jurors in this sensational
ease. There was a distinct murmur as
people settled themselves to listen to his
testimony.
' Now, sir," said theJa !g-. "tell the
jury what you know about the matter."
"I d.u"t know anything about it,"
replied the witness blaally.
Then may I ask w by you had your
self summoned as a witness?"
"So as to get a g ,od sight of the priso
ner and the court. Tickets weren't to be

From the Gulf of Mexico to the North
Pole and from the lakes to the Kocky
Mountains is a vast extent of country
crossed by no mountain chains to inter
cept or retard the velocity of ai.-currents.
The extent of this country is equaled by
none on earth. Cold air being heavier
to the square inch than warm air, the
cold air, when coming in contact with a
warm current from tho south, always pre
dominates, forcing the warm air into the
upier currents.
The cause of cyclones is the meeting of
a headwind from the north with a head
w ind from the south. They meet like two
vast armies of men. The pressure at the
point of meetiug is so great that the air,
by compression, becomes heavier to the
square inch than wood or the human
body, hence either one will float in the
ame manner that wood will float in wa
terit tloats l-caue it is lighter to the
square inch than water. Place water iu
an ordinary wash bowl ar.d remove the
plug and it will be observe.! that in pass
ing out the water forms a circular reac
tion. Air being all piid does the same
in passing either upwards or downwards;
hence the funneHiapeJ spout of the cy
clone centre. When two immense Ixxl -ies
t-f air turning fncu opposite direct
ions meet, the only egress is upwards
and sideways, and in passing upwards it
for.r.s the funnel the same as water pass
ir ir out of a washbowl downwards. The
theory that a cyclone forms a vacuum is
absurd. Withdraw air from a glass jar
with aa air pump, and a feather w ithin
the vacuum formed will drop with the
s ime wit city as lead, or, on the other
hand, you can c impress air until il is
heavier t the s.ti:ri in. h thaa wood, in
w hit h cae wood will tl at in the air.
1 he liltii'g H.wer of a cyclone is caused
li by the compression or density of the
air, and v"' by its velocity. Combining
the power of density with that of veloci

no power can resist it. The feeling of j

A Rattlesnake Story.
Mr. and Mrs. Hill, who live near Fiairs
vilie, had a thrilling experienca with a
rattlesnake recently.
They were walking iu an old lield, and
Mr. Hill was in front, chatting with his
wife. Suddenly the attention of tbe lat
ter was directed to a furious rattlesnake
striking in the most dreadful manner at
her husband.
He seemed ar.c jnscious of the snake's
presence. His w ife attempted to speak
to him and warn him of his danger, but
fright had deprived her of speech.
it was an awful moment.
Suddenly she darted forward, seized
him by the ana and after leading him
back some distance told him w hat was
the matter.
He rushed back to the spot where she
bad seen the snake, and there it lay mak
ing a pile larger than a half bushel. He
struck it several times with rocks, but
did no! succeed in killing it, so he sent to
the house alter a gua and shot the mon
ster. This scake was in a dim trail near a
very heavy stubble and Is the fourth one
that has been killed near that spot.

Soot as a Disinfectant
Ia view of the possible advent of chol
era ia this country, many cheap and sim
ple disinfectants have been proposed for
the use of the eopIe. Of these, one of
the most elective is common soot. Sxt
is composed of pure carbon, and is
fjreed by trie hot vapor of the hydro
c irbon coming from burning fuel sfik
ir.g the cold walls of the chimney or
stovepipe and condensing thereon. It is
a very light, porous and impalpable pow
der, and, like charcoal, which is the same
element ia a dilf rent form, possesses the
property of absorbing and retaining a
wonderfully lare amount of gs.
The great danger of disease about sew
ers, drains and other places is almost en
tire! due to gas given oir by decompos
ing matter. If soot be sprinkled about
tiiese places it will absorb the foul g-.ist
When cholera was expected in Balti
more, some six-een years ago. Dr. Piggot,
a celebrated chemist cf the time, an
nounced that the only disinf.-ctant with
which cholera c iuhl be at all eiiVctively
combatted was copero or sulphate of
iron, and he made a composition of char
coarand coperas which was said to have
been invaiuablein iu disinfecting prop
erties. The general idea in disinfecting
is, first, to provide a means for absorbing
the ileath-dealing gas, carrying with it
millions of diseased germs, and then to
have the necessary aent lo Uestroy the
g-ruis after they are absorbed.
Cnarcoal has alwaysToeen regarded as
aa exce'l-.-nt disinfectant, out as a mallei
of !act, soot is superior lo it from contain
ing some of the unoxidized hydro-carbons
contained in the smoke from the
fie!, an J, among these hydro-carbons is
creosote, a g"rra-ki!!er of wonderful pow
