" The effect of a newspaper paragraph may be far-reaching in its legal conse quences sometimes especially in France. M.

He took these criticisms BO much to heart that lie committed sui cide, leaving a widow and child. The said widow brought suit for damages against L'Eeho, holding that her bus band's death was tlio direct result of the criticisms in that paper, and the court, concurring in that view, award ed the full amount claimed, ten thou sand dollars, arid condemned the news paper in lf< ee* .e eotth of the action. In his annual report Brigadier-Gen eral Carlin, commanding the Depart ment of the Columbia, says that tlio experiment of making the Indian a soldier is a decided failure so far us his experience goes, and he has recom mended the discharge of the few Indian soldiers now in his department, less than a company, Gcnertil Carlin re ports that there has been n decided increase in desertions during the past year, due, iu a great measure, to the unpopularity of the ten year service law, aud lie recommends the repeal of thut law.

But Lucy Winslow was staying here still, with her brother's wife and her little nephew ; therefore Arthur Craig stayed on olso. She was sitting iu the hammock, with little Reginald beside her. Reg inald always wits beside her; their fondness for cain'other was great. It bud been n source of affliction to Craig all summer. He told himself that he wasn't jeal ous of Reginald, but if a fellow could get a chance to see a girl alone once u week or so, it would be a relief. Late ly ho had particularly wished to see Miss Winslow alone. "Hello, Arthur!" said Bcginald. "Oh, Reginald," said liis pretty aunt, flushing, "sav Mr. Craig!" "That fellow that wus down here to see him called liim Arthur, and I'm | going to," said Reginald. He was eight years old, and had the i i blue-eved, fair skinned face of a j cherub. But no cherub was ever so pert and precocious as Heginahl. "Let hiui, Miss Winslow," said Craig. He dropped down on the grasM at her feet aud looked up ut her.

"Miss Winslow," sanl Craig, des perately, "I don't know whether you know—whether you have guessed—J ilon't know, Miss Winslow, whether you—you have suspected—" "My goodness!" said Reginald, with a high-pitched eight-year-old laugh; "what are yon trying to Hftv, Arthur?" Craig looked at Lucy. Was she laughing at him, too? His face grew warm with the sudden wretched sus picion that she was. After all, was ho not a fool to think for a moment that she could care for him? Of a sudden he saw matters iu a new, a painful light. If she had oared for him, would she not have managed now anil then that they might see each other alone? How rarely had that occurred—how continually had that little nuisance of a nephew dogged them ! Had she con trived it? Had she made Reginald a defense, a guard against unwelcome advances? He was all at once misera bly certain of it. He was warm with mortification, and cold at heart with keen unhappinness. He had been stupidly slow of percep tion, that was all. But that was a thing which could be remedied. He rose from the grass, and looked down at Lucy Winslow with a set smile. "Well, I don't believe I know my self what I'm tryingtosay, Reginald," he answered. "I needn't say good-by to you just now, Miss Winslow, for I'll be here a day or so yet. But I'll be oft' about Thursday, I guess, and after a month or so at home, I expect togo out West on business that will keep me there indefinitely, I imagine. I shall think of this summer often, and with pleasure, I assure you." Ho bowed, and turned away. He took himself and his bitterness up to liisroom. He felt that ever hour until Thursday would be a period of anguish; and he began to put things into his trunk iu helter-skelter fashion. He had half filled it when Reginald walked in, without knocking. He sat down in the largest chair. "Ho?" he remarked, scofflngly, "that the kind of a trunk you got, with cloth all over it ? Mine's got wooden slats 011, and tin and bruSs nails. What's that thing? Opry glasses, ain't it? Say, 'll you give 'em to me! "Yes, take them," said Craig, wear ily. Reginald spent several minutes in ex amining objects in the room through the glasses, for which he saw fit to re turn no thanks. "Say," he observed presently, turn ing them upon Craig "she's crying. That's what 1 come up to tell you. I thought mobbeyou'd like to know." "Who's crying?" Craig demanded. His heart stood still. "Aunt Lucy's crying," said Regin ald. "She began to ery soon 's you turned round, 'most. I told her somebody'd see her, but she didn't stop, audi wasn't going to stay there and her a blubbering, and I thought I'd come up and tell you." Reginald looked up with his angelic blue eyes and his cherubic smile. "Say, I'm going to see what's in that plush box, Arthur. You care?" Craig strode from the room. He got down the stairs two at a time, and rushed around t• • the red-atul-blue hammock between the shady oak trees. "Lucy!" he ssiil, bending over her. "Yon are not you can't be crying because I'm goin'fc away, Lucy?" There was a hot (lush in the tearful face shu raised to him. "Oh, Lucy," he implored, "don't be ashamed of it ! If you are crying about me, don't you know I am the happiest man on earth? I was so eel tain you didn't care for me, and had trieil to ward mo oft' with with Regiuald, yon know, because he was lorever around. But if you can ery because I am going away, Lucy, then I can fiuish wliat I was trying to say to you. You know what it was " Lucy caught a sobbing breath. "But you are going out West! she faltered, "Yes, and you with me!" Craig re torted. Nobody was near them, and he sat down beside her, his hand warmly clasping hers. "How did you know 1 was crying " Lucy queried, sudduuly, after ten minute* of glowing happiness "Heginahl canit aud told me. Hcginald is a trump, said Craig "a jewel!" "I'llere he comes, said Lucy. "I Hi, Arthur, he's got your your smoking jacket on!" "It's luv bath robe," Croig re spoudt'd, with the composure of a peril el, all satisfying beatitude.

Clouds arc on the averngo about COO yards in thickness. American tools arc far better than those of European make. Tho largest fish known to science is the basking shark, an enormous but harmless variety. A steel ship has been constructed in Cardiff, Wales, with the standing rig ging, as well as the hull, all of steel. The largest known species of night flying insects is the Atlas moth, a resi dent. of the American tropics, which has a wilig spread of over a foot. Human hair varies in thickness from the 250t1i to the 000 th part of nn inch. The coarsest fiber of wool is about one 200 th part of an inch in diameter; tho finest only the 1500 th part. South American ants have been known to construct a tunuel three miles in length, a labor for them pro portionate to that which would bo re quired for men to tunnel undertho Atlantic from New York to London. Many larva? of beetles and other insects are used for food ; tho lice gives honey and wax, the coccus manna and cochineal, the Spanish fly a blistering drug, the gall insects 1111 astringent, and the silk worm an artiele of dress. In Japan there are now twenty pnb blio electric companies in operation. Further companies are proposed, and there is a considerable demand for electrical engineers. Nearly all of tho companies are conducted by Ameri cans. A New England firm is introducing an automatic gas lighter for street lamps, which works 011 the prin ciple of 1111 eight-day clock. It. is explained that the only attention the lighter requires is a weekly winding of the clock movement, and that it lights tho lamp at the required time and extinguishes it at daybreak. Safety matches that can be used without a box are to be placed 011 the English market by a German inventor. The idea is to tip the two ends of the wood separately with those composi tions which in the ordinary way go one 011 the box and the other on the match. To use, break the wood across the middle and rub the ends to gether. An agent of the Suez Canal Com pany lias invented an apparatus to split the electric lights that illuminate the canal into two divergent streams, one sending out rays one way, the other in the opposite direction. This enables ships to approach each other and meet with perfect safety. Formerly the lights blinilea pilots so that they could not see vessels coming in tlio op posite direction. A physician points out that fat people endure most kinds of illness much better than thin people, because they have an extra amount of nutri ment stored away in their tissues to support, them during the ordeal. Moreover, there are many other con solations for persons of abundant girth. They are generally optimists by nature, geuial aud jolly com panions, whose society is universally preferred to tliut of people with angular frames and dispositions. At a recent State fair an inventor exhibited a machine that he had con structed for converting grapes into sugar anil svrup. Experts who wit nessed tho operation and others uflirin that the process is a complete suc cess. Tho experiments were mostly confined to Muscat and other sweet grapes known to carry a large amount of saccharine matter. Heretofore the difficulty has been in granulating grape sugar. But by this new pro cess it is claimed that granulation is perfect.

THE NATIVE LANDS OF THE VARI OUS GRAINS AND FRUITS. Most of Them llnvc Evolved From a Wild State—The True Ifoinc of Indian Corn—The Cherry's Origin.^ THE grains and fruits usod r.i food by man originated I different latitudes, and first existed in a wild state some being indigenous to the tropics and some to temperate zones. As they be came improved anil differentiated they were distributed in different countries according to their utility and the spread of agriculture. It was but nat ural that tho first gradual changes from a wild to a cultivated state should have taken place in geueral in warm countries where the climato and the advanced state of civilization conspired to effect amelioration. For instance, the grnpo is indigenous to America, and had existed here iu a wild state long ages before tho conti nent was iliscoveil by Columbus, but it was first put to practical use iu Egypt and Central Asia, to which lo calities its origin is sometimes attrib uted, and whence it was in reality distributed throughout the Western world. A similar remark may be made of rye, one of the less valued cereals, which is a native of the temperate zones, ami spread thence toward the South. It is supposed to have been unknown in India, Egypt and ancient Palestine, and, though it was more or less used by the ancient Greeks and Romans, it was from the north of Europe that they received it. Nearly all the grains now in use are of unknown antiquity. Wheat was cultivated in eighty-six latitude as far back in the past as we have authentic knowledge. Barley is thought to have originated in the Caucasus, but it was known anil used everywhere in the most ancient times. Oats, like rye, was unknown in ancient India and Egypt and among the Hebrews. The Greeks and Romans received it from the north of Europe. Had there been an early civilization on this continent I the wild oats found hero and there would probably have developed into I the useful cereal now considered abso l lutely essential for the proper nourish ment of horses. This continent ii I credited with having given Indian com to the old world, but this useful cereal j was doubtless known in India and China many hundred years before flit discovery of America. Cotton win used for making garments in India al a date so remote that it cannot even be ' guessed at. The fact is mentioned by ; Aristotle. The first seeds were brought j to this country in 1021. In 1(566 the cub I ture is mentioned in the records of South Carolina. In 17.'10 the culture was general along the eastern coast of Maryland, and in 1770 we hear of il :as far north as Cape May. The use oi llitx for making clothing is nearly a.< ancient us that of cotton, and perliapi more so, plants of soft anil flexible fiber having been wit hout doubt among the lirst vegetable productions of tin ancient world and their practical valtu discovered soon after the invention o: l weaving. The cherry in its improved condi tion is of Persian descent and is an other fruit that might have been im proved from our wild varieties had mil civilization been contemporary wit! that which preceded Egypt and Baby lon in the valleys of the Tigris uuti Euphrates. Peaches, plums ami clier ries were all known to the ancient Greeks ami Romans. The apple, the most useful anil satis factory of all the fruits of the temper ate zones, has been known from tiuii immemorial. It originated from soiui of the hardy wild species that ure fount 1 sometimes almost us fur north as tin j Arctic i rclc. It i* a fruit that like, the cold, and is found in the greatest perfection HI parts of New England, New York and Michigan, where tht winters are severe. Ah it approachei , the e.piator it loses it-* liiunl of tuste, ! while still preserving its beauty, I is n notable fact that, owing to care it the culture, aud in part to u prefereuci for the climate, alltlic fruits incut i.uici iu this li»t ure found of better tpialitj iu Europe aud America than iu the lo entities where they are thought tolnivi originated.

WISE WORDS. Lov« gifftis every time it is tested. Home is tho fortress of the virtues. The truthful man is dead;been dead a long time. Tho real ruler of the man is within him, not without. The man who throws a stone lit an other hurts himself. It is time wastoil to argue with a doubt. Kick it out. It's the youngest man who thinks ho lias tho least time to spare. The whisper of a slanderer can bo heard farther than thunder. There is no good quality which does not become a vice by excess. A woman is seldom quite so happy as when she is thoroughly miserable. Finding fault with another is only a roundabout way of bragging on your self. Some people arc kept poor because they will not believe it is blessed to give. The man who is afraid to look his faults squarely iu the face will never get rid of them. No man is perfectly consistent. Ho who is nearest consistency steers the crookedest course. The Ethics ul Weariness. In a lecture at Cambridge, England, on the subject of "Weariness," Pro fessor Michael Foster said undue ex ertion was exertion in which tho mus cles worked too fast for the rest of tho body. The hunted hare died not be cause he was choked for want of breath, not because his heart stood still, its store of energy having given out, but because a poisoned blood poisoned his brain and his whole body. So also the schoolboy, urged by pride togo .111 running "beyond the earlier symptoms of distress, struggled on until the heaped up poison deadened liis brain, and he fell dazed and giddy, as in a fit, rising again, it might be, and stumbling on unconscious, or half un conscious only, by mere mechanical inertia of his nervous system, falling once more, poisoned by poisons of his own making. All our knowledge went to show that the work of the brain, like the work of the muscles, was ac companied by a chemical change, and that the chemical changes were of the same order in the brain as in the muscle. If an adequate stream of pure blood were necessary for the life of the muscle, equally true, perhaps even more true, was this of the brain. More over, the struggle for existence had brought to the front a brain ever ready to outrun its more humble help mate, and even in the best regulated economy the period of most etlective work between the moment all the complex machinery had been got into working order and the moment when weariness began to tell was bounded by all too narrow limits. The sound way to extend those limits was not so much to render the brain more agile as to encourage the humbler help mates, so that their more efficient co operation might defer the onset ol weariness.—New York Press.
