because he hoped
and expected to
lu set Alfred Da

knew that Davi-
yC3fffi son was going to
e&j&rr a 'n Pari" for 81
and he had a pur-
f yTNj ticular reitson for
p" 1 wishing to eo:oe
across nun in me
street of Paris
rather than in the
Ktreuts of London.
Striw-ter wni a
Toani author who
had published soveral books, and who
was g' ttiux uling as well as could be
expecte I, until suddenly he inos a
check. The chock was only cheok ac
far ai his own sclf-e-tteem was com
cernud ; for it did not in ths least re
tir.l tins sle of his lutni book, bnt
rather appeared to increase it. The
chock wits unexpected, for where he
had looked for a carets hs had received
a blow. The blow was so well placod
and so vigorous, that at first it stunned
htm. Then he became unreasonably
anjrrT. lie resolved to strike bauk.
Tiio reviow of his book in the Argus
was vigorously severe, and perhaps
what maddened him more thnn any
thing pIho was the feet that, in spite ol
his self-ett!em, he realized the tratb
of the criticism. If his books hid been
less uoctMwfal, or if he had been newer
&s an author, he mi.'nt poasiblv hive
-t hiinwlf out to profit by the keen
thrust givu him by the Argns. H
miqht have remembered thst althonjb
Tennyson struck back t Christopher
Forth, calling him rnrty, ernsty an J
ruriatr, yet the poet eliminated from
later editions all lleuih whiok
musty Christopher had pointed out.
Htreetor resolved to strike back wit!
something more tangible than asaroas
tic verse. He quite admitted, even tc
himself, that a critic had every righi
to criticise that was what he was for:
but he claimed that a man who pre
tended to be an author's friend, and
who praised his books to his face, haj
no ri'ht to go behind his back and pec
criticism so scathing as that which
appeared in the Argus, for Btreetei
knew that Alfred Davison had writtec
the criticism in the Argus, and Davi
son had pretended to be his friend j
and had pretended, an well, that he
had a great admiration for Streeter'i
books.
As Streeter walked down the Boule
vard d( italiens, he saw, seated is
front of a cafe, the man whom he hoped
to meet ; and, furthermore, he war
pleased to see that the man had a friend
with him. The recognition of anthoi
and eritio was mutual.
"Hallo, Streeter I" cried Davison;
"when did yon come over?"
"I left London yesterday," answered
(Streeter.
"Then sit down and have something
with us," said Davison, cordially.
"Streeter this is my friend Harmon.
He is an exile and a resident in Paris,
and, consequently, likes to meet hit
countrymen. What will yoa have tc
drink, Streeter?"
"Bring me a glass of seltzer," said
Streeter to the g.ircon who stood ready
to take the order.
When the waiter returned with
glass of seltzer Streeter pulled out hit
purse.
"So, no!" cried Davison; "yoa ar
not going to pay for this yoa are
drinking with me."
"1 pay for my own drinks," mid
Streeter, surily.
"Sot while I invite you to drink
with me 1" protested the critic. "1 pay
for this seltzer."
"Very well; take it, then t" said
Streeter, picking np the glass and dash
ing the contents in the face of Davison,
Davison took ont hi hankerchief.
"What do yon mean by that, Street
er?" be asked, as the color mounted to
his brow.
Streeter took ont his card and pen
oiled a word or two on the pasteboard.
"There," he said, "is my Paris ad'
dress. If you do not know what I
mean by that, ask your friend here; he
will inform yon.
And with that the novelist arose,
bowed to the two, and departed.
When he returned to his hotel, after
n stroll ulong the brilliantly-lighted
boulevards, be fonnd waiting for him
Mr. Hurmon and a Fronchman.
"I hud no idea yoa would com so
soon," said Streeter, "otherwisa I
would not have kept yon waiting. "
"It does not matter," replied Har
mon ; "we hnve net waited long. Af
fairs of this i;ind require prompt ac
tion. An insult lasts bnt twenty-four
hours, mi I my friend and principal hag
so desiiv 1 1 pnt you to the inconveni
ence of repenting yonr action of this
evening. We are taking it for granted
that you have a friend prepared to act
.'or r-ii; nr yoa? conduct appeared to
ao premeditated."
"You ur quite right," answered
Streeter ; "I have a couple of friend
to whom I shall be pleased to intro
iuce you. Come this wnv, if yoa will
Le s.i ki7-.d."
The preliminaries were speedily ar
railed and th meeting was to take
A.i-'o next morning at daylight, witb
pistols.
Now thilt everything wo3 settled, the
prospect did n.t look qnite so pleasant
to Stroeter as it hi 1 done when he left
London. Davison hn.l asked for no
explanation ; but tint, of course,
could be accounted for, because thil
oritical sneak mnst be well cware oi
the reason of the insult. Still, Street-ei
bad rather expected that ho wonld
perhaps have pretended ignorance-, and
on receiving enlightenment might hav
avoided a meeting by apologizip.
Anyhow, Streeter resolved to make
a night of it. He left his friends to
ir.Muge fr h carriage, and see to all
lhat was neccsarr, whil he dnnned
ais wr-pfirtt nnd riapireted for a gath
oxing to whk-h hs bad
been frrdtei, '
a-1 where he was to meet manv of hi
onctrymen and countrywomen in I
fu&hioiinblc part of Paris.
His hostess appeared to h over
lejsiAo ii hiu. "
"You are so late." she said, "thftt 1
was afraid that something had occurred
that would keep yoa from coming alto
gether."
"Nothing conld have prevented ml
from coining," said Streeter, gallantly
"where Mrs. w ooaiora was nosiess. ;
"Oh, that is rery nice of you, Mr
Streeter I" answered the lady; "but J
;nubt not st :id here talking with you,
for I have promised to introduce yol
to Miss Neville, who wishes rery mucj
to meet you. She is a great admire)
of yonr s and has read all your books.!
"There are not very many of them
laid Streeter, with a laugh; 'and)
such as they are, I hope Miss Xevill(
thinks more of them than I do my
self."
"Ob, we nil know how modest au
thors are!" replied his hostess, 1 jad
ing him away to be introduced.
Miss Neville was young and pretty,
and she was evidently pleased to meel
tha rising young author.
"I have lou wanted to see you,
bho said, "to have a talk with yon
about your books."
"You are very kind," said Streeter,
"bnt perhaps we miht ohooae sonic
thing more profitable t talk about ?"
"I am not so sure o! thi. Perhapl
yon hve been accustomed to hear onl
the nice things people say about you
That is the misiortune of man)
authors."
"It is a misfortune," said Streeter,
"What a writer needs is soineboly t(
tell him the truth. "
"Ahl" said Miss Neville, "that i
another thing I am not so sure about!
Mrs. Woodford has told you, I supl
pose, that I have read oil your books.
Did she add taat I detMtdd -oi?"
"On the contrary, Mrs. Woodford
led me to believe that yoa had liked
them."
The girl leaned back in her rtivi
and looked at him with hjlf-cl.-su J
eyes.
"Of coarse," she said, "Mrs. Wood'
ford docs not knjw. It is not likely
that I would tell hor I dtsted youi
books while I asked for an introduc
tion to you. She took it for grantej
that I meant to say pleasant things tl
you, whereas 1 bad made up my rainj
to do the exact reverse. Ko one wouij
be more shocked than Mrs. Woodfor I
unless, perhaps, it is yourself il
she knew I was going to speak frankll
-;k "1
"1 am not shocked." said the yonni
man, seriously; "I recognise thai
there are many thinjs in my booki
whioh are blemishes. "
"Of course ron don't moan that
said the frauk young woman ; "be
cause if you did you wo.ill not repeal
the faults in book aftor book."
I "A man can but do hi beat," said
Btreeter, getting annoys 1 in spite oj
himself, for no iann tvtes kindly to t!i)
candid friend. "A man can bnt do bid
best, as Hubert said whose grasdeir
draw a loaf -bow at Hastings."
"Tee," returned Miaa Ji'ctIIK

should remember that the man whe
said that said it just before he was de
feated. What I feel is that you nr
not doing your best, and that yon wil
not do yonr best until ?on objectioa
able person like myself has a sorioui
talk with yon." " ,
"Begin the serious tillc," saill
Streeter; "I am ready nad engor tJ
listen."
uiu yon read tne reriew of yo::r
latest book which appeared in tho Ar
gus?" "Did I." said Streeter, eomewh
startled the meeting that was so clos?
and wnicu was coming closer, a at
nhichhe had forgotten tor the mo-i
rcient, flashing over him. "Yes, I didi
ind I had the pleasure of meeting th-J
person who wrote it this evening." '
Miss Neville almost jumped in her'

"Oh, I did not intend tV

"Ioul" cried Streeter, astonished in
lis tnrn. "Do yoa mean to say lhat
fon wrote that review?"
Miss Neville sank back in her chair
rith a sigh.
"There I" she said, "my impetuosity
las, as the Americans say, given mt
tway. After all, yon dfd not know
ihat I was the writer I"
"I thought Davison was tha writer.
! had it on ths very best authority."
"Poor Davison I" said Miss Neville,
anghing, "why, hs is one of the best
ind stanchest friends yoa hare ; and so
rra I for that matter indeed, I think
'tn even mora yonr friend than Mr.
Javison, for I think yon can do good
rork, while Mr. Davison is foolish
nongh to believe yon are doing it."
At this point in tha oc-nvarcctioa
Streeter looked hurriedly at his watnh.
"Ahl I see," said Miss Neville;
"this conversation is not to year taste,
fon are going to plead an appoint
ment as if anyone could have an apJ
DOintment at this hour of lha morn-'
ing.
"Nevertheless" said Streeter, "I
aave ; and I must bid you good-bye.
But I assure you that lay eyes have
been opened, and that I have learned
a lesson to-night which I will not soon
forget. I hope I may have the pleasure
of meeting yoa again and continuing
this conversation. Perhaps some time
I may tell you why I have to leave."
Streeter found his friends waiting
for him. He knew it was no use tryi
ing to see Davison before the meeting.!
There was a long drive ahead of them,)
suu it was gray oayiigni wuen xaey
reached the ground and found the'
other party waiting.
Each man took his place and the
pistol that was handed (o him. When
the word "Fire I" was given Streeter
dropped his hand to his side. Davison
stood with his pistol still pointed, but
he did not fire.
"Why don't you shoot, George?'
said Davison.
Harmon, at this point, rebuked his
principal, and said he must have no
communication with the other except
through a second.
"Oh I said Davison, ImpatientlyJ
"I don't pretend to know the xulea ol

Streeter stepped forward.
"I merely wished to give you tha
opportunity of firing at me if you eared
to do so," he said ; "and now I desire
to apologize for my action at the aafe.
I may say that I did what I did under
a misapprehension. Anything that I
can do to make reparation I am willing
to do."

Am Elaborate Fire EzttngmUfcaih
An original method has lately been
proposed by a Jiew Hampshire In
ventor for the extinguishing of fires.
To accomplish this purpose a chemi
cal generator as large as may La
needed for the case in hand is first!
provided, and pipes run from this
into each room in the building; at
the top is a jar In which acid la
stored, inside of which Is a cartridge;
an open circuit battery is used. The
thermostat In each room Is set at
whatever figure is desired, perhaps at
eighty degrees. On the occurrence
of fire the mercury runs up to this
figure, and the circuit is closed; this
explodes the cartridge In the jar,
valve drops down, and the chemicals
are sent to the room through a sys
tem of sprinklers. In connection
with this device there is a system of
dry pipes, and in case it is found that
the chemicals do not extinguish the
fire an attendant on the outside of
the building Is able to tell by the)
enumerator In which apartment the
fire la located, and by turning
switch can flood the room with water

The Use of roaltlesn.
' Physicians are often surprlssJaliLl
ignorance of patients concerning tha
lo riaea!
from a wrong idea as to the enrativ
action of a poultice.
In general, poultices are primarily
localizers of inflammation; they act
by softening and stimulating the tis
anes with which they are brought di
rectly in contact. The fact that their
value lies in the amount of heat and
moisture which they radiate to thes
tissues, is the reason, probably, foi
the application by the laity in every
case where - heat and moisture may
happen to be indicated as necessary.
Take, for example, two cases
poisoned wound and a finger swollen
by muscular strain. It is manifest
that these two cases are not parallel,
though in both the application of heal
is indicated aa a remedy.
I In the case of the poisoned wound,
we have the presence of a foreign sub
stance in the tissues. This sets np
local information, which by means oi
the circulation tends to spread and be
come general. We place a poultioe
over the affected part, and immediate
ly the application of the heat bring)
to it a fresh supply of blood contain
ing numerous leucocytes white cor
puscles whose business it is to maki
war upon all foreign matter with which
they may eome in contact, and pus it
form.id. This finds a proper means oi
escap-t through the softened tissnei
nnder the poultioe and with it cower
the poison.
In the case of the swollen finger, 00
the other hand, we have a simple Irri
tation, and what we need in tho vay
of treatment is just enough heat to
draw a renewed snpply of blood to the
weakened part for its nourishment,
Bnt we do not wish, as in the first ease,
to confine the heat long enough to
stimulate tho leucocytes to activity, ai
in that event we should only have
made a bad matter worse, with an ab-
ceaa to take care of.
The desired result may be obtained
by simply plunging the finger into wa
ta as hot as can be borne for a short
tifne, or by rubbing on a stimulating
liniment.
The moral of all this is that wo an
to use poultices only where wo wish
to looalize inflammation. In spraini
and the like proper stimulation is al
that is required. Youth's Companion

Development of Modern Cavalry.
It has for some time been realize 1
by the German authorities how advan
tageous it would be if their cavalry
oould rapidly throw aorosa a river a
bridge of sufficient stability to cany
artillery. They have now supplied to
their oavalry a folding boat, which,
with all the necessary stores, can be
loaded and carried on a four-horse
wagon. Each regiment receives two
of these wagons, whioh makes twelve
for a cavalry division, and this amount
of material t unices to construct, in a
very short time, a bridge more than
fifty yards long. These boats can be
used in various ways, the only disad
vantage experienced being that the
twelve wagons take up as much room
aa battery, and materially add to the
length of m column. It is thought that
their Talue has been conclusively
proved at the manoeuvres in various
ciroumstanoes. The Revue dn Cercle
Militatre, from which the above ac
count is taken, adds that the education
of the German cavalry is being prose
cuted in other directions. They are
to be trained in the execution of field
works. A new drill-book is being
snpplied to them, and a certain num
ber of instructors, borrowed from the
pioneer battalions, will henceforward
be attached to the cavalry regiments
and to the Riding School at Hanover.

HOW TO SCALE TI8H.
The roost effective implement
for
I " ordinarry currycomb, which
miT be ourchased at any harness or
harware shop. It bears for the pur
pose the same relation to the knife
that the mowing machine does to the
scythe in cutting grass. The way to
use this device is to cover the fingers
with a cloth, insert them in the month
of the fish as a hold, then draw the
currycomb from the tail to the head.
After use the comb, if washed in water
and dried, will lose all unpleasant c l-r

HOURS PLANTS.
Do not forgot tho ground principle
of success in raising plants, which ifl
to cut the flowers bs soon as they ara
fully developed.' It was the pet charge
of one of the most successful gar
deners to all of his customers : "Now,
madam, if yon want those plants to
flourish, cut tho blossoms as soon aa
they open." He used to sny that he
probably made that remark a hundred
times a day through every spring sea
son ; but he would say, with a peculiar
smile : "All the same, they didn't do
it." Free blooming is dependent on
nothing bo much as this, and it is a
line-upon-line and precept-upon-pre-cept
admonition that every amateur
should not fail to heed.
TO CXiBAN THREAD LACE.
Cover a black bottle with clean lines
or muslin, and wind the lace around it
(securing the ends with a needle anl
thread), not leaving the edge outward
but covering it as you proceed. Set '
the bottle upright in a strong, cold
lather made of white soap and very"
clear, soft water, and place it in the
sun, having gently rubbed the suds up
and down on the lace with the hand.
Keep the bottle in tha sun every day
for a wee's, changing the lather daily
and always rubbing slightly when yon
renew the suds. At the end of the
week take the lace off the bottle, an-1
without rinsing pin it backward and
forward on a large pillow covered witb
a clean, tight case. Every scallop musl
have a separate pin, or more, if the
scallops are not very small. The plain
edge must be pinned down also, so
to make it straight and even. Th
pins should be of the smallest size.
When tho lace is quite dry remove it
from the pillow, but do not starch,
iron or press it. Lay it in long, loose
folds in a pasteboard box. at. Louis

TO WASH CHISA STT.K.
In these days, when wash silks art
in common use, a few words in regard
to washing them mav bo of interest.
As silk is an animal fibre, like wool, it
cannot be treated in the same way at
cotton, which may be subjected tc
water of all temperatures without iu-
jury, sue should be washed as rapidly
aa possible. Examine the articles to be
wanhed, and if there are any parti
espeeiaUy soiled clean with a little
benzine or gasoline applied with a
flannel cloth. Then prepare a soap
suds of luke-warm water and plunge
the garments in it, sousing; them up
and down and rubbing them thor
oughly in this suds. Rinse them in 1
water a little cooler, and then into s
third water still a little cooler, and so
on until the until the final rinsing
water is perfectly cold. Do not blu
them. Wring them out as dry as pos
sible with a machine. Lay them in
sheets or heavy cloths and roll them
as hard as you can in firm rolls. Put
them away for an hour, and at the end
of that time iron them on the wrong
side. Xew York Recorder.

"I had never seen a lunatic before,"
said Wilkins, "so when my friend told
me that that was a lunatio asylum, I
looked hard to see if I couldn't dis
cover one of the lunatics. Sure enough,
there on the top of the fence sat a
lunatic. I dou't know what possessed
me, but I made a face at him. Then
down he jumped, and came at ns on
full speed. "
'Bun for yonr life,' said my friend.
Off we started, the lunatic, a tall,
powerful fellow, in full chase. Oh,
how we ran ! My heart was beating
like a trip himmer ; my breath cams
Fhort and thick ; I felt a strange sink
ing sensation in my stomach, and my
head seemed light enough to fly o3
into space. Every time I looked back
the madman had gained on us. I
conld hear his quick, light footfalls
only ten or a dozen feet behind us. In
a minute he would be on us. -1 turned
to face him. On he came, bis tongue
hanging out like a dog's, his eyes pro
truding, bis hands clenching nervously
at me. l could see a fiendish look of
vacant triumph on his face. I braced I
myself for the shock. His band fell J
heavily on my shoulder.
