Everything but her looks seemed to lie against the girl. Even her name was used to her detriment, for no one ever heard it anywhere else as that of any family, either goud or bad, unless, perhaps, it was a corrup tion of the French Perrin, in which case it implied that the young woman's own branch of the fsniiiy must have fallen very low to have accepted so vulgar a pronunciation. lint the name was only the beginning of Miss Perrang's urawliack. Her father had nothing but money gained by compounding liquors to make him prominent at Mayport, and in spending this his taste was so bad that he seldom succeeded in not being offensive. II is wife was a handsome woman who was not without dignity, but au unfortunate fondness for opium and other stimulants had occasionally caused her to act so strangely when in company that invita tions to her parties became more and ! more productive of regrets, and they were returned less and less. When, suddenly, Mis. Perrang realized her position she changed her set for the one of which her husband wus most fond, and her habits also changed for the worse. People did not drop Eunice as thor oughly as they did her parents. W lule at school the girls s high spirits, good temper and generosity made her a favorite, and as she was handsome as well as hvly the young men joined their sisters in defending her whenever they heard her alluded to merely as "as one of the Perracgs." liesioe, there were many mothers and fatheis . . , . i . i .. . . i , : t -iii wuo plulu uie ,i errand uik)u w ing that lueir own family circles should 1 , to congratulate us ou our engagement." Mr. Bonnarton merely glared and exclaimed: "The Devil!" Miss Perrang without the s'igbtest sign ot tear returned uis iook, upon which Bonnarton said: Good night," and abruptly quitted the room. As he did so Dr. Morsely sneaked away from the window where he bad been listen ing, dropped on his knies behind a neglected rose-clump aud offered up a prayer that he had never seen iu print. A few weeks later he joiued the Colonel and Eunice in marriage, and everybody who was anybody came to the wedding end visited the bride always thereafter. The Cjlonel, in spite of his long devo tion to -his first love, became a very happy husband. As for Bonnarton, he was so uumercifullv chaffed that he speedily drank himself to death. Nature!

Ou one of the rare occasions when the Colonel allowed himself to accept an invitatiop, he aud several other gentlemen were taking wine with the host, when one of the guests, who had taken some t Ling stronger thiro wine be fore arriving, said: "I heard to-day that Boniarton had bought Martin's place at the Ridge. It's a charming little nest, but it's two miles from anywhere. What do yon suppose he wants with it?" "Xoboby could guess; those who m;ght have done so saw Col. Reave frown, so they thought it best to re maiu silent Don't you understand?" persisted the informant, with a half tipsy leer that was nevertheless significant "Xo," said the host hurriedly, tak ing the fellow's arm, "nor you, Robin son. Gentlemeu, suppose we join the ladies?" All acted on the suggestion but the Colonel, who begged to be excused for the remainder of the eveuing. An old wound was troubling him, he said, and he would rather be no company than bad company. But instead of going to the cottage of an old soldier t ervant, where he was the only boarder, the Colonel strode in the opjosite direction. Dr. Morsely, who had been a fellow guest, and had heard of what had been 'said, begged his host to let him escape from the house unseen and follow the Colonel, for he feared something niight happen should the soldier meet welL he would mention no names. The host understood, and smuggled the Doctors hat and cane from the dressing-room, and the rever end gentlemen escaped by a side door so speedily that he reached the sidewalk almost as soon as the Colonel. By walking ou the sodded portion of the sidewalk, he followed readily without making any noise. But the trip did not progress exactly as the Doctor had expected. Instead of coins directly to Ikmnarton'B house or to the Perrang place, the Colonel went to the village cemetery. The Doctor promptly became ashamed of himself; although tie was glad to have the Colonel as regardful as himself of Eunice Perrang s reputauon, and was rather sorry that the Colonel's abrupt departure had not beeu caused by the insinuation he had heard, the errand unou which uis m unary ineuu was now bent seemed of far higher na lure than chastising an old ptottigate. The old man was alout to retrace his steps, when it occurred to him that tbe Colonel had been iu such bad health aud spirits for a month or two that he might not be fate company for himself at a time when he preferred a lonely .h.rf til f.iqKt.

She gives to animal? colors that. by resembling their kurrourdings, protect them against their enemies. The brown or gray color of the wild rabbit blends with its surroundings and hiles U irom hostile eyes. The mottled fealuers of the quad and panridge closely resemble the talten leaves, among which the young birds conceal themselves. Animals that roam at night, as do the rats and mice, bats and moles, are usually of a neutral tint, such as escapes notice in the dusk. The helpless tree-toad tabes the color of the tree on which it lives, and his bitterest euemy has hard work to find him. The snimais and birds of the hot desert are tawny and gaudy in hue. 80 the Hon conceals himself by crouching in the sand, aud thence Epnngs upon bis ui suspecting ptey. The tiger stalks among the iungies of iud'a. The vertical brown lines ahich adorn his tawny skin enable him to lurk unseen among ihe bamboo Mems. The spotted skin of the jaguar imitates the changing sp hs of light and shade among the leaves, and tbus conceals him in bis lair. The puma has neither liars nor spots on its skin: it does not need tnem. it waits for its prey by crouching along the limb of a tree, where its dull color escapes notice. White animals and white birds are, as a rule, dwellers in Arctic regions. The white suit of the polar tear indicates at once its distant home andd the snows and aiiow-fields of the north, tfome animals, like the Arctic foxes aud Alpine hares', wear their white livery only in winter, and appear in sumjier clad in brown or gray, in tne thick tropical forests, whose bright foliage is never touched by frost, live tbc Dnluant green parrots and paroquets that seem so out of place here. Nature also seems to take puns jn providing for her weuk and Lelpiesa creatures. The upper surface of the wings of some ef our com mon butterflies is of a bright color, but the lower surface is dusky. W hen they light on a tree or wall, and close their wings, the color of which closely resembles the surrounding surface, the insect collector need 8 sharp eyes lo find them. Moths that fly by night are gray, or neutral, in tint. Sjme tropical butterfl.es resemble withered leaves, and even the marks on 1 heir wings appear like the veins of a leaf. Oar grasshoppers lake the cohr of the irrasi!. lieetles freoutnting mossy banks are creen in color. Beetles thdt live on the bark of trees are rough like bark and frequently resemble hcheDa. Some de fenseless insects are protected by their resemblance to insects able to defend themselves. Some flies, which possess no means of defense, resemble wasps and hornets.

In the wine-vaulta of London, the wiue-vaolt fungus aways hither aud thither in the most graceful profusion. It is lighter than cobwebs, and takes shapes like crystaliz ition.

The ceiling or roof is covered with a field of the fungus four or five inches in depth, aud out of this grow or gather the most cur ious formations, the most interesting 01 which are the round balls like hornets' nests, in color and shape, or great gray sponges, In the vaults where oil is used they soon get black and dirty, but when gas is burned they remain as wnita as snow for a long time, aud are exquisitely beautiful. If the light is held up to them, as soon as they feel its heat, they shrivel away with a sickening odor and disappear To the touch they are damp unpleasant and sticky. The vault men are very proud of them and they dis like to see them destroyed, although it sometimes becomes neeeosary to do so. Their presence is regarded as a proof of the adaptability of the vault. If they gather quickly over a lot of wine that has beeu recently laid down, tue wine and the cellar are both deemed to be good.

As it was not in the way and was not a bid lookin piece of furniture it was permitted to remain undisturbed. Tue house was rented to a family who moved into it recently, and to whom the eoldea secret of the old cupboard was unexpect edly reve'e L The wife did not like the looks of the old cupboard and proposed to her husband that thev should move it to another part of the room. This the hus band consented to, and the cupboard was sccordmgly removed out of the corner where it had remained for perhaps a quar ter of a century. As it was away, a small tin box, such as is used by business men in which to keep papers, was found on the floor covered with dust. The man gave it a kick and was surprised to find that it was no, easy to move, and on picking it up was further surprised at lis weight. A few blows of an axe broke opei the lid and a pile of bright glittering gold pieces met the gaze of the astonished husband and wife. They set to work counting out the coins and found that the pile amounted to the snug little sum of $1,200. As soon they had counted the money tney replaced it in the box and hid it, when the man, with honest haste, went straight to the executor of Jlr ilarkey s estate acd rela ted the circumstances of the finding aud closed by inviting the executor to accom pany iiiui to the house and take possession of the money. The executor followed him home and obtained the gold. In no other country in Euroiie is life and property so insecure as iu Hungary. Murders and robberies take place al most every day. but it is only when a big guu happens to be the victim is public atteution called to them. It is only a short lime since Count Andrassy's p dace in Bnda-Pcsth was broken into by burglars, aud it certainly was not their fault tliat nobody was killed dur ing the operatiou. The murder of Count Mailath has created the most intense sensation throughout the wholo ot Austro-IIungary, especially as the deceased judge was in his way a most remarkable personage. He was aa ex ceedingly haughty man, and vory proud of his lineage, although not on irieudly terms with aiiy members of his family. ills elder brother, who died a few yeurs ago, was also a very eccentric ludiviJu al, aud although possessed of consider able wtalth, hved in the most simple style ou his estates at Perbenyik, and although he had a liJO chateau, pre ferred to reside ui a peasant s cottage. Oa his deatu it was found that he had left all his property to his natural sou, aud tins gave rise to htigition, which has beeu goiug ou ever since, and was engaging the attention cf Count Majlath at the time of his assassination. Sa bitter was the feud in the family that rumors were started to the effect that hatred and not robbery was the motive which prompted tne murderers, and the alhiir is still shrouded in mystery, de spite the usual police formula that 'they ' have a clue. It is well-known that the Emperor of Austii i, ever since the tragic end of his brother Maximilian, has had the greatest iversiou to eiguing death warrant, iu consequence ot which nearly all murderers know that they will escape with penal servitude, or au inadequate sentence of a few ye:ws imprisonment, on the few occa sions on which they are fouud out.

The first Duke was killed at Bos- worth, attained by Parliament and the honor of his house forfeited, but hia son, the Eirl of Surrey, recovered the title on the battle field of Floddeu. Two of this Duke's grand-daughters became Q teens of Enghtnd. and the grandson he com manded tbe British fleet that vanquished the Armada. The third Duke escaped execution by Henry VIII., who died on the day he signed the Duke's death war rant, which, in consequence of the King's death, was never carried out. uis grand' son. tbe fourth Duke, was less fortunate, and was ' executed during the reign of Elizabeth, and the title extinguished by bis attainder. It was nearly a century be tote it was revived, the firth Duke being tnc great grandson of tbe fourth. For two centuries there his been no disturbance of the title, thoueb it has passed from the direct line to branches of the thus for a whole season. Then cut bac the main stem to about fifteen or eighteen mches and remove the side branches.

In one trial three boilers of the same size sud make were ranged in order, one cov ered with tbe ordinary felt, another with a coating of silk oafv five-eighths the thick ness of the feli, while tue third was left altogether uncovered. They were all filled with water bavmg a temperature of luu degrees, Centignuie, and enanued al in tervals. After the lapse of three hours it was found that the unprotected boiler bad lost twelve degrees of heat, and tbe other two each two degrees. After a further lapse of thirty -three hours, the felt-covered Doilcr bad lost thirteen and a half degrees, and that covered with sdk only fourteen. so that there was no ppreclable difference between the protective powers of the silk and those of a casinr ot fell nearly twice its thickness. With regard to the cost of the material, it Is said that in all silk manufactories there are waste scraps which it would be d.fficilt or impossible to utilize in the trade.
