There is no d uiht hut that IK-nton

the unfortunate hahil Trirg had of
reading sclcclioa from iiis .-t irics to
anyone who would listen, and liiere is
iiodauht that ia those days Denton ,
iiioiv than his sliare.
Any man had a riirht t renat this
son of thing, hut he sh aid re.-s-nt it
openly and hidiy, and int revenge

leiito:i iir.iiseil tlie MSS. highly,
l.,jk them to the iiiagaine oliiee readi

tunate Trigg witli a n te i-ayhi $ t iat
tin? editor, in ?jit -' of the waniK'-t com
iuend.itio'.is oa the part of Denton, ha I
rejected ihcUl.
This was wry dUaiipninLing as far as
Trigg was concerned, and he conceived
a violent hatred of tiie unknown editor
who harrcd his way t' iuhlicity.
Xo man can live on rejected MSS.
alone, and TrigiT, cmi'ittcired hy lack
of succos, secured a ku'u irdinate li )-i-ti:!i
on tlie "Aeadanetiui," a great
weekly critical journal. His own try
ing exiK.rieiKV had added jut the re
quisite toticli of virilcnee to hLs jh ii
which t!ie"Acadaneui.i" delighted in,
aal Trigif je.tlily rose ii the c.-tima-tioti
of his stiiicriors on tlio paper.
Trigg naturally hated .successful men.
One night at a large literary dinner
hi found himself next an old man who
was intr.iduced as the editor of the ma
gazine of which his friend Denton was
thesuh. Trigg had hy this time le
CJine known as a ri.-iiig man in what
nnylie termed the cruel of criticism,
and the aged editor was very gracious
to him.
4T w;:i," hisiil at list, -tat you
cxKild find tints' tu w rite us an article on
any suhjeft that pleaseil you."
Trigg turned up:m the U-nvvoIciit
old man.
"And I wish," lie replied, "as did
tlie scriptural character, that you would
write a lok."
Tiie old man heamed up;n him with
surprise.
"The scriptural cliaracter," he said,
"hoped thai his enemy would write a
book. I am certainly not any enemy
of yours."
"Not now, perhaps," od Trigg hru
tally. "You arc like ail the reid. You
give a man encouragement when he
doesn't need iL Now that 1 am fit
ESTABLISHED 1827.
"WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 10, 1895.
ting along, you ak me to write for your
magazine, ignoring the fact that you
have rejected in r. MSS. of mine than
any other man in London, which is
saying a good .-.d."
The editor look at him now with gen
nine stiprise in his eye..
"My dear sir," he" said, "you are I.i-
horiiig under - .:iie strange mistakes.
I never in my life saw a MSS. of yours.
"I am sorry to contradict you," re
plied Trigg, "hut I have too many lct-
er!:i my po.se.ssi.rn which tend to
provt' the contrary. I have, I helicve,
some iu your own handwriting, not in
fill. led for my eyes, of course, in which
you peak with great frankness, of
what yr.ii were pleased l term the
'niter drive!' I have written."
"I would like very much," .said the
stirpris.-J editor, "to mi' one of those
letters. To tell tlie truth I am getting
oa in yours, and my p oition on the
magazine is only nominal. I occasion
ally c ontrihuic something, hut the MSS.
sent in urj entir.-ly dealt with hy our
reader, and finally hy Mr. Denton. He
is the real eJit-.r of the magazine, as I
thought evcryliidy knew, and has bet n
for the past ten ytsirv,"
. "You surprise iii-," said Trigg. "Of
ourse until recently I have known
nothing of the inner life of literary
London, an I since joining the stalFof
liie "Acadancmi" I have been too
busy to pay attention to it. Have you,
then, no power on the magazine with
which your name is connected ?"
"Oh, 1 have the power if I choose to
exercise U; i,ut I have v. rv little taste
for the drudgery of editing, i.nd 1 leave
it entirely iu the hands of my subordi
nates." "What you say," s lid Trigg, "inter
ests me !ti r e than vouca:i be aware of.
I wouid like, if you do not c.uv to show
you a iiutii ier of letters 1 have had
fr.;n th - otlie; of vottr mag l.iile.
The old man was very much a-toii-
i-hed w hen he ?w the Utters.
"Thc-e alleged extracts f.-nni notes of
mine are not in inv writing. I hcv
wire never written by nie. If Denton
wi-hes to n j.-et your MSS. he should at
lea-t have h id tile honesty to take the
re -pon .jbil'ty upon himself. "
Tiie next w, ek Trigg received a note
from tiie editor of the magazine in
qu.-tiou. L was to tiie following
ctr -ct :
"If you think it worth an item in
your li-uil column of luer.iry notes,
you have tlie authority to make tlie
an.ii.uneeiiient tii:d Alfred Denton, for
many y;ars !;;'- litor of the
iii.'.g.i.i'ie, is i.ovv no longer connected
Willi that peri d:cal."

line that led to ultimate editor hip
w.-tv di-cour:igi:ig failure.-. It was
ii:ei-r t!iee cire.:ntet:inces that he
wr-.te his first book and had it pu'o-ii-lied
tinder a iioin plume.
It galled Trigg for many a day after
ward to know that what he wrote about
this book was upon ike whole fa vora
l.ie, hid '.'.1, exceedinglj' favorable, for
Trigg, who at once recogniz-cd the merit
ot'ihe work without iu the least guess
ing who its author w:ts.
liy this li. ne Trigg r.aehed a com
itr.mdiug position upon his paper, tnd
what he wrote for its columns was
prioted as he wrote it, with no blue
pencil sUjfcTvision.
Denton, pleased with the suce,-ss of
his first Uxk, allowed it to lie announc
ed tii.it he was the anonymous author.
Trigg gnashed his teeth when he re
alized that he had in Ipvd his enemy,
but he held his iK'aei.' and waited.
A three volume novel was aniiounc
il. When those thri-e Vohunes lain?
to f he "Acadaiieum" oili.v, Trigg fell
that his time for vengeance had come.
Heilevoteda page to it. NotJiingso

since appeare.I ill Hie cviiical coi'lliilis
of that paper. Il was merciless, and .
eVei'V one recognized tilill l)e!ilo:i had
received iiis death blow as a novelist.
None realized this more than Denton
himself, who was driven to the verge
of despair. His publisher was appall
ed, and he and the author had a coil-'
saltation, and both admitted that noth
ing could be done.
Jiy all laws of logic tic? sale of tiie
b k sir luld have s'oppe-l at that m.
ni -.it, but the wry contrary was the
case. Tiie fierceness and magnitude of
toe attack at one.? gave Dent :i a plaei
in tiie world of literature that it might
in the ordinary c lurso of events have
taken years t attain. Tnere instantly
arose a di -c Ksioii about the book in
various papers throughout the country.
T.ie demand for it increased. IVopie
wanted to read a work that had leen
so merciless.' Mated. the Iioralies
sent in order after order, and a second
edition was announce'!. MUi i:ie ile-
i.iand kept up, and as tiie lok had
genuine merit, and as the attack was
in reality villainously unfair, although
demoniacally clever, public sympathy
began to veer toward the author.
Tin. fir.-t idition of the novel iu cheap
form was sold the day of publication,
a id wa-s speedily followed by a second
and a third and a fourth.
It is quite possible for a critic to over
estimate his own iower, and it wad
some time before Trigg realized that
his revenge was a boomerang. His
article had leen the making of his
enemy, and Denton's ixsitiou in the
literary world was now assured. No
one could destroy it but himself, and,
as every one knows, he was too clever
a man to do that. His succeeding
books have more than Ixime out the
promise of his first and second.
Thus it happened that each man's
vengeance upon the other succeeded in
placing iu both cases the square peg in
th? square hole, and although those
tvi'j men were the making of each oth
er, although each, iu reality, was the
other's best friend, with the wor.-t in
tentions, yet such is the contrariness of
human nature, that no two people iu
L union hate each other so bitterly as
Frederick Trigg and Alfred Denton.

Buying; Babie.
The old .silversmith gave me a good
idea of coolie marriage customs, and
surprisii! me by saying that almost
every little girl in the village was en
gaged, as we would express it. Tii. y
h id all been picked out and paid for,
wKiie of them not more than two or
three years old, and from the time they
were old enough to speak or think they
knew who was to le their future hus
band, or "papa" as the Hindoo women
call a husband. In many cas-. the sale
had Utn made in India, and the hus
bands were only waiting for the girls
to grow large enough to marry, which
meant usually about twelve years old.
When the arrangement was made iu
India the future husband would not
emigrate unles his little "sweetheart"
and her parents emigrated also. There
were several eases in the village, I was
told, where both parents of one of these
little engaged girls h i 1 died, and
where the future husband took the
child into his house, to Ik? treated in
every roitcct like his daughter until
Mie was old enough to becotui. his wife.
How much a coolie pays for a baby
wife was one of tin? tilings I was not
able to find out. It must hi very little,
for they haveabs.ilut.ely nothing when
they reach Trinidad.
The. marriage of an adult coolie wom
an is sail lobe very rare; the coolie
prefers to see his little bride grow up
and to marry her in-fore she h u I urn
cd to read. It often happens that thee
baby wives go to school after they are
married demure and graceful little
ma Irons of twelve sitting with the oili
er children, learning to read and write.
They can always le distinguished from
tiie other pupil.; by their superior
clothes and the quantity of jewelry
they wear. In my intercour-e with
the coolies I saw nothing to lead me to
believe that they cwr treat their young
wives unkindly; they s-tiu tob? very
fui I of them and of everything con
u cried w ith the liitle hom-', even to
the domestic animals. It is only iu
cases of unfaithfulness, w hich are r.ue,
that l he husband jioints his arguments
with a dirk.
"What do the little girls think of

of her own selection if she chooses
under the Ih iti.sh law of Tvinidtl; but
she kn ws that tiie other fellow will

These acids aid the liver in its work of

Some Frank Criticism?.
From Harper's ISuzur.
Among the various customs which
were in vogue twenty years ago, that
of making evening calls has entirely
disappi-arcd. Tiie young man w ho is
iu business, and who-x? only leisure
time is after six o'clock, is now, uii-lcr
this new s;cial law, obliged to sjn-nd
his evenings at his club or at the thea
tre. If his acqiiaintautv is limited and
his means small, lie must have a dull
time indeed. The pleasant home life
to which he was formerly admitted it
is no longer his privilege to share.
This new fashion lias U en adopted for
various reasons, chieily l-cc i'ise, as I
have often said, we copy our styles from
our foreign iieigh'iors. Toe F.nglish
inan never pays an evening visit ; his
hour for calling on his friends is five
o'clock, when he drops in for a cup of
tea. This rule of course applies to the
Englishman of leisure, the great mid
dle class having its own customs, which
we do not choor? to copy. We who
are mostly working-people prefer to
have as our iii'xuVls the idlers and
leaders in the w.HUal world, and so it
follows that the great majority of otir
young men, who ale toiling at their
counting-houses or in llieir odiees, rare
ly see young women except at some
formal gathering. The voting woman
ticemselves do not have nearly so goo I
a time as they used to have ; they
"come out" at teas which no one en
joys, they go t? receptions and dinners
ami dances and the opera, and they
never have a quiet evening at home
with their friends. In fact, they have
little opportunity to make friends,
everything is so formal and stiff. It is
too bad, but it must Ik? the inevitable
result of life iu a big city. When we
are in trouble our friends find us out,
but when everything is prosperous with
us we are left alone t enjoy ourselves
in our own way. Sociability as it was
formerly known exists no longer, and
we must content ourselves that this
is so.
Tiie fallacy holds among a certain
class of persons that women in society
have nothing t o do, and that their time
is sjieiit idly in amusing themselves.
This Ls by no means a fact. So called
amusement is hard work, ant there are
no busier women than tho.-c whxe
occupation consists in uttending to the
numerous details of social life. Fir.-t
there is the house to manage. If the
household is small and the means
m 'derate, the housckecju-r must devote
at lea-t an hour or two each day to the
proper running of the establishment.
Sue goes to her kitchen every morn

it is not necessary for her to go to the

Cat Ciuseo a Bbckaie-
A black cat caused the hi. -eking of
the trolley cars on one of the Brooklyn
iine. Tiie animal sprang from a fence, I
and seated himself It t ween the rails in
front of an approaching car, and re
fused to trudge. The motormaii, who
believed that to kill a black i.it is un
lucky, stopped the car so violently that
many of the pissenger were thrown
from their scats. C'aaes an 1 umbrella
were flourished at the animal, but it
refused to move, and il held to this de
termination even when tlie m torm m
pushed the front of the car over ii.
Finally, after nine cars had lieen
blocked, a comluctcr seized the eat by
the tail and threw it on the gidewalk,
and the pr.ces.-ion moved on.
A Train Stopped By Sntub.
Mr. Laille, an engineer ia the employ
of the Tunisian Kail way, writes iu the
Iijxrir Titnifii liur : The train coming
east from Suk-cl-Arl-a lat Thursday
was two hours late for a very singular
reason. The road was literally covered
with snails, the w heels of the lj-como-tive
crushing these mollusks' into a
pulp, which destroy-. 1 all adherence
and caused the locomotive wheels to
skate, so to speak, ill their places. We
have seen flocks of locusts stop trains,
but I think the fact tlwt snails can
stop a train is w ithout a precedent.
These snails are very general ail
through Tunis, especially during the
rainy season ; the smallest remainders
of green on field or tree are covered
with them, so much m that they aii-j-e-ar
like a lameli of graies hung up,
only that their while shelLs produce a
curious effect.

THE FARM ICEHOUSE.
To Build One Does Not Call for Very
Much Expenditure.
No particular arehitn tural ability is
nciled in putting up an ii-ehotisc, siig
g?sl.s the AiH'-ri'tiii I 'it.'irrit'ir. All that
is muled is to put up a frame, inclos
ing it lioth inside and out, in a locality
where there h -food drainage, so that
wait r from melting ice can lie carrui
away without letting a curn-tit of ait
come tip through the ice. The tilling
in of the air spaces letweeii the double
wall is commonly done with sawdust.
This is cheap, and in localities where
there are lumlx-r mills, it is often so
plentiful thai it is given away to any
one who w ill take it. It is ni?esary,
however, even then, to get the sawdust
early, for as the time for filling ice
houses approaches, there is always a
demand for it. A new material known
as mineral woo! has lately lieen intro
diKul. It is mineral, and, of course, is
not wool at all, though it looks and
feels like wool. It is the glass fibres
made in refining iron ore by the action
of heat on the particles of sand that it
contains. Once this slag remained in
immense piles around iron ore retiuer
i?s, but its value for making mineral
wool has caused a demand for all that
can lie got of it. The cost of mineral
wool if near to a factory w ill probably
Is? near 17 js?r ton, but its bulk iu pro
p irtion to weight is so great that it can
not lie tralisjored far. It is the clean
est and l-st non-conductor of heat. It
contains a great amount of air, and
when laid in the walls Ls a non-conductor
of heat and of sound also. No
kind of insect or other vermin w ill live
in wails where the filling Ls with this
glass material. For this reason, as well
as a non-conductor of heat, it Ls consid
erably ucd for sheathing dwelling
houses. It also greatly retar.Ls de

Hjw ti Makj Chocolate.
For a healthful U-vcrage, nothing is
more d -Iicioiis than cho-nlate preiwired

form of serving it, but it is well worth
all th? care required in its pretration,
as we have found since following a r
cipt that h is b eeil carefully preserved
since teiing it. One, two or three eggs
may l? used to each quart of chocolate,
according to tate and the cm-istency
desired, and three or four of the small
cakes of sweet chocolate.
The quantity of ch-x-olate also d??-p-eiids
tij-on the taste, a fair proportion
l-eing one divii.e, alo.:t an inch wide
and three or four long for each half pint
of water. (Jra'c the chocolate or break
it in small piecs, put it over the lire in
a thick chocolate pot, and stir it until
it softens ; then stir in a quart of milk
to four small cakes of choeolate. While

There are four way of boiling eggs,
and it is, of course. niot essentia! that
the egg should lie jvrfcctly fresh.
1st. i'ut the eggs in boiling water and
let t hem simmer for three minutes if
they are small, and half a minute longer
if they are large.
2d. Put the eggs into a stew pan of
coid water, and place it on a brisk tire.
A soon as the water Imils, the eggs are
sufficiently cooked.
3d. Plaiv the eggs in a stewpaa of
boiling waU-r, and withdraw it from
the fire ; kii?p the ve.v?el covered, and
in six minutes theeggs w ill be done.
-5th. Steam the eggs for four min
utes in a potato steamer.
The second way is perferable to the
others, as the white is rendered more
creamy, and mixes Iw-tter with the yolk
when in contact with tiie egg spmii.
To p.i-.ic'.i eggs in ball, put three pints
of boiling water iut a stewpaa ; set it
on the stove or coals; stir the water
with a stick until it runs rapidly around,
then, having broken an egg into a cup,
taking care not to b-eak tliey.dk, drop
it into the whirling water. V intiau ? t
stir it until the egg is e mkul. Then
take it into a dih with a skinnier and
set it over a p t of Ix.iling water. Iloil
one at a time, until you have enough.
These will remain soft for a long time.

Why there used to l? a lie, and it was
even iu the magazines, to the etreet
that the moon made ieople crazy, and
that if you slept out in the moonlight
you would wake up iu tiie morning a

was perhaps responsible for that. He

Once in a w hile he gets into the
