He had a way of becoming acquainted quickly and of making new acquaintances feel en tirely at ease with him. and he also j . i had a way of remembering a call or two ho had to make, and in which he would invito a new acquaintance of the proper sort to join, which was so unlike the custom of Xew Yorkers in general that man from other cities and without New York connections were likely to feel under obligations to him and also to believe that thov I had made the entree of metropolitan vciety.

He had so much of what women call "style," and he knew how to say nic things, and to suggest new ways oi killing time, and to occasionally pro vide pleasant surprises that cost money a faculty which is quite ai rare among city youths, in proportion to their numbers, as in any country village. To be the wife of such a man would be to become a social queen so thought some pretty young women whose knowledge came principally from their day-dreams.

The truth was, that Brane htv. started in life with a firm determina tion to marry rich or not at all, anc he was keeping himself faithful to that purpose. It cost him terribly, hi sometimes told himself, for he wai really a susceptible fellow and hi heart got a new scar about once a year j but he wasn't going to win a girl merely to have her taken from him bj a matter-of-fact father, who didn't want his money spent by his Laugh ter's husband. He was in the market! if any rich man wanted him for a son in-law there was a proper way for th rich man to bring the affair about provided the daughter was pleasing. Indeed, Brune was obliged to eludi one brilliant opportunity to marrj money, both father and daughter be ing willing and anxious ; but the lad j was a kittenish creature past forty, while Brnne himself was little beyon thirty. But the god of lovo and the goddess of plenty kept their eye upon him, and there came a time when thej seemed to join forces. Miss Ada! Moorhart, a handsome damsel from tb far West, had set her heart on becom ing Mrs. Brnne, and, as she had beei accustomed to having her own waj about everything else, she did not in tend to be thwarted in her one great est desire. She had sn able ally in hei mother, who held the family purse strings and wanted just such a man ai Brune in the family, her own husband having amounted to nothing since hi inherited his father's money. Belnq a prudent woman, she had interrogated her bankers, Messrs. Holdem k Trust, very closely about Bruno's businesi and financial standing ; but those gen tlemen declined to say more than that Brune banked with them ; hi account, though not very large, was never over drawn ; he had a few thousand dollars' ited with them were drawn oy houset of good business standing. Behind all this there seemed some mystery which, Mrs. Moorhart was determined tq solve; but the bankers pleaded bu iness confidence as their excuse for nol qjoing into particulars, unless author izeil to do so by their customer. From that day Brune's fortune wa made, as he half suspected when hit bankers told him of Mrs. Moorhart'! visit, for a woman of strong will anj abundant leisure will expend a lot o( both for the bliss of fathoming a my; tery. Certainly there could not be anything wrong about Brune, or some one would know of it ; no one wha knew him said anything but good o him ; besides, had he not always been known as everybody's good friend? j Mrs. Moorhart tried to make her hom even more agreeable to him than il had been, while the daughter let hei glorious eyes rest upon him from tima to time in a manner which no man ... ..... i with eyes of his own could fail to ua aerstaud.

Mrs. Moorhart bit her lip, andtheii smiled as she asked : "Will you promise to tell me al, about the business as soon as you art Carried?" "Upon my honor." "Insist upon an early marriage, the. all men do, I believe and I will set that Adah accedes to your wish." Tho wedding was a splendid affah iccording to the newspapers; tha bridegroom alone had so many friendi and well-wishers that not all of the in vited could get into the church. Ai to the presents, they were as numeroui and handsome as might be expected by a bride who was rich and handsom and a man who was everybody's good friend. When the happy couple re turned from the church to the house, the bride's mother didn't fall in teari on her daughter's neck ; she led hei lon-in-law aside and whispered: 'You promised " "Yes, to tell you about my business Well, it's been to be everybody's good friend, and be well paid for it, thong none of them suspect it.

Meanwhile the kits were removed from the horses of the main body of the detachment, leav ing nothing but the bridles. By this time the boats and the punts had been brought over from the other side. Into these the kits, carbines, etc., were un ceremoniously bundled, the troopers scrambled Into as many ns each of the four punts would allow without sink ing It, the horses hauled Into the river, and, once in, they jrallnntly swam across to the other side of their own accord.

The greatest affliction of the human race is impure blood. There are about 2400 disorders inci dent to the human frame, the large majority arising from the impure . or ooisonons condition of the blood. The best remedy for all blood dis eases is found in Hood's Sarsaparilla. Its remarkable cures are its ' loudest praise. It is not what we say but what Hood's Sarsaparilla does that tells 'he story. No remedy has ever had so marked uccess, or won such enormous sales. Scrofula in its severest forms yields to its potent powers, blood poisoning and salt rheum and many other diseases are permanently cured by it. For a general Spring Medicine to remove those impurities which have accumu lated during the winter, or to overcome rhat Tired Feeling, nothing equals Hood's Sarsaparilla Is the Only True Blood Purifier. A v'AW MADE OF GOLD. fecnllar Surgical Operation Per formed on a New Torlc Physician. Next to the pleasure of being knows is a silver-tongued orator comes that of having a gold Jaw. Of that unusu rl possession a prominent physician of New York boasts; yet he experiences no different feeling wlt.fr It, so exactly Is it adjusted, than any one else does with a common-place, every-day Jaw. Some time previous b Its acquisition he suffered from a throat trouble, such ns Gen. Grant had, enfied epithelioma, burgeons treated It by heroic mca ires. ' To reach the spot where the malig nant growth lay, under the tongue and near the thorax, necessitated an opera tion wherein the lower Jaw was en tirely cut In two and a portion of it re moved, and Important muscles were Fevered. Then the two parts of the lower Jaw were laid back to allow the surgeon to work under the roots of the '.on sue. A peculiarity of the case at this juncture lay In the fact that the mus cles of each side of the mouth being in dependent of one another, the severed parts of the lower Jaw could not work In unison. The masseter muscle, at- tached to the smaller reninliilng por- j tion of the Jaw, contracted In the proc ess of healing, and the doctor, who had been a flue-looking man before the operation, now went about With a mis ilia pen face. The masseter Is one of the strongest muscles In the system, being the only one that does not act as a lever, but having a straight pulL Notice, la Il lustration of Its power, how the boy who wishes to crack a nut put It be tween the molars and then wills the masseter to crush ahead; or the play ful puppy, who knows by instinct where his best grip is, struggling witt k bone. A dental surgeon now came to the fescue. It took a knowledge of the jiower of machinery, an Inventive fac ulty and the skill of a sculptor In add! Ion to the D. D.'s regular acumen. A Jackscrew with a ball and socket Joint exactly such as would be used to raise a locomotive, except In miuhi Inre had to be resorted to. and the J;t w jivas Jacked open, requiring a strain of Eevernl days to compel the powerful . masseter muscles to relax. This ac complished, a wedge was put In to keep that part of the mouth apart; then the Jackscrew was used to force the larse segment of the severed jaw back to irs Driglnal circle, where It was held by a splint so devised as to be removable, whereupon a gold jaw and teeth were modeled to fill the space and also sind the two sections of the Jaw to Tether. By the aid of the surgeon's knife the liseasc had been entirely removed, and followed up by this remarkable feat 3f dentistry, the articulation and ou :!usiou restored and mastication ren Jered as complete as before the opera tion. Trevlous to the dental work his food was pushed through the orifice be tween the upper and lower jaws. Another point of interest lies in the inuouncement that new cartilage is forming across the chasm, and It Is boped In the course of a year or so to find the Jaw working Independent o.' the gold one.

WHERE PECANS GROW. Preparation of the Meats Becoming; an Important Industry. Perhaps the best of all nuts Is that species of hickory known as the pecan. It Is a native of the United States, growing wild in the Mississippi valley and In Texas. The largest and finest nuts come from Louisiana, some speci mens attaining a length of two inches and a diameter of three-quarters of an Inch. Comparatively few from that State reach the North, however. In Bee County, Texas, pecans are grown with very thin shells, that may be crushed In the fingers. In Texas the pecan Industry has ob tained great Importance. Thousands of people, white and black, make a living by gathering the wild nuts, while many plantations of the trees have been set out and are already In bearing. So long ago as 1SS0 1,250, 000 pounds of the nuts were marketed in San Antonio. Of all the hickory family the pecan seems most suscepti ble of Improvement In the size nnd quality of the fruit, and much has been nccomplishd in this direction by planters exercising judgment In the selection of varieties. V. A. Swluden. of Brownwood, Texas, has 400 acres of pecans, comprising 11,000 trees. Tho usual method of harvesting pe cans is to shake the trees when the hulls Iiegin to open in the autumn, or to thresh them with long, light poles like fishing-rods. The nuts that fall are picked up In baskets. Wild pecans used to be gathered quite commonly In the forest by cutting down the trees a practical application of the princi ple of killing the goose that lays the golden eggs. The freshly gathered nuts are placed In revolving churns, by which they are cleaned and brichtened. A factory In Now York City gives employment to fifty men nnd women encased in the business of polishing or "burnishing" pecans for market. Eventually clean ing establishments will be set up in the neighborhood of orchards. The finest nuts grown from selected stocks are kept for planting, pecans for seed being In great demand at present. Such seed brings as much as $1.."0 a pound; the trade Is carried on mainly by orders throujrh the mallj. Small nuts could be used for making oil. Be fore many years the big pecans, nn Inch and a half to two inches In length, with paper she is will be on the market in plenty. The industry of preparing the meats of pecans for market, free from shells. ! nas already assumed considerable pro- I . . 1 t invi - portions. In 1S0O one manufact-irer sold lixi.000 pounds of the kernels. Being relieved of the trouble of crack ing the nuts and picking out the meats these processes are now performed by machinery confectioner! are be ginning to use pecans quite generally. Three pounds of nuts contain one I pound of meats. The meats 60II for 50 cents a pound. Pecan oil Is excellent for table use. It makes a fine Ilium in ant A kernel, when lighted, will burn for some time brilliantly. It is believed that much might b. accomplished by cultivating choice varieties of shellbarks, of large size, with thin shells. Rene Bache, "Wash 'ugton correspondent. EVOLUTION EVEN HERE. f he Dog's Bark Has Become More Ex pressive as Ilia Cultnre Advanced. The most curious Imitations which we find In dogs Is as to the measure of expression to which they have at tained. Among the savage forefathers tf the modern dog the characteristics of all their utterances was, to a great extent, Involuntary, and once begun the outcry was continued la a iue ihanlcol manner. . The effect of advancing culture ot. the dog, however, has been gradually to decrease this ancient undifferenti ated mode of expression by howling and yelping, and to replace It by the much more speech-like bark, says a writer In Scrlbaer's Magazine. There is some doubt whether dogs possessed by savages have the power of uttering the sharp, specialized note which is so characteristic of tho civilized form of heir species. It is clear, however, that if they have the power of thus expressing them selves they use it but rarely. On the other hand, our high-bred dogs have to a great extent lost the power to express themselves in the ancient way. Many of our breeds appear to have become (Incapable of ululating. There Is no yloubt but the change in the mode of ex pression greatly lncreasrs the capacity of our dogs to set forth their states o mind. If we catch a high-bred dog one with a wide range of sensibilities which we may may find in breeds which have long been closely associated with man w mar ra1llir nnla Kra nr el-r tra. f rletles of sound in the bark, each ot ' .l-lch Is dearly related to a certain Istate of mind. That of welcome, of Xear. of rage, of doubt, and of Dure fun are almost always perfectly distinct to the educated ear, and this, although the observer may not be acquainted with the creature. If he knows him well he may be able to distinguish vari ous other Intonations those which ex press Impatience, and even an element of sorrow. This last note verges to ward a howl.
