clubs and spent much time ia each oi
them, which is not the way- of city
men of brisk business manner, such as
Mr. Brune possessed; and scores of
strangers, brought into one or other
of the clubs by city acquaintances who
did not know whut else to do with
them, gratefully remembered Mr.
Brune as one of the evening's chiel
sources of enjoyment. 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

never made love to the young ladies of '

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

tlemen declined to say more than that

though not very large, was never over

this there seemed some mystery which,
Mrs. Moorhart was determined tq
solve; but the bankers pleaded bu

From that day Brune's fortune wa

abundant leisure will expend a lot o(

anything wrong about Brune, or some
one would know of it ; no one wha

him ; besides, had he not always been

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

Looking Glasses In Coffinv.
One of the ancient customs con
aected with Swedish funerals was to
place a small looking glass in the
Boffin of an unmarried female, so that
when the last trump sounds she might
be able to arrange her tresses. It was
the practice for Scandinavian maidens
to wear their hair flowing loosely,
while the matrons wore it bound about
the head ami generally eovered with
torn 9 form off eap. Hence the unmar
ried woman was imagined as awaken
ing at the judgment day with more un
tidy looks than her wedded sisters and
more in need of a glass. Westminster

Railway Natural History In India.
A correspondent of the Times of
India, who vouches for the truth of the
story, tells how a lady traveling le
tween Kurrachee and Multan with
two tame squirrels was stopped at a
station and told she must take a dog
ticket for each squirrel, as squirrels
were "dogs," and wts further com
pelled to put them In the dog box.
Railway natural history In India
would seem from the above to differ
from that taught on English railway
lines, where, according to the famous
classification, "cats Is dogs, and rab
bits is dogs, and parrots likewise, but
this yer tortla Is a lnsec', and there
ap't no charge."

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

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.
