After gazing nt tho vessel from tho

tho gangplank:
"I'tirty good sized steamboat."
"She's n liner, oeoun liner," wus tho
lofty reply.
"She's purty high up, ain't she?"
"Ocean liners have to bo. l!ut when
File U under way she doesn't look no
high."
"Her chimneys ain't very high,
though."
"You moan her funnels. No; they
never make thoin high for UnerB."
"Hinges on "em?"
"Never heard of hinges on a funnel."
"How does sho get under the
bridge?"
"What bridge?"
"Why, any bridge. Steamboats out
our way hnve Llages on their chim
neys, and when they, como to. tho
bridges over the river tliey lower the
chimneys, and sho scoots under like
she was grenscd."
The ni;.n at tho gangplank observed
the St Louis man with lofty indiffer
ence. "
"Sho ain't got any wheolhousess on
her sides nor none at her stern," re
marked tho St. Louis man after bo hnd
niado further inspection.
"Liners have propellers," said tho
man at the gangplank, nnd'h.'s noso
turned up visibly.
"Well, I'll bet sho can't run. ,It takes
two wheels and a bow like am arrow
head nnd a scant hold to give atstonm
boat speed, sonny, nnd don't you forgot
It. If this steamlxiat was to get Into
the Mississippi, she'd go hard. aground

"I have told you this Is not avstcam

saw a picter of her In ono of our news

In tUo grounds of the Duke of Athol
and near lilair custle, England, stands
a high, rocky crag named Crulglebiirns.
It looked grim and bare In tho midst of
beauty, and its owner thought how
much prettier It would look If only

Its nooks and crannies. It was consid
ered Impossible for any ono to scale Its

I"t fntlier's only ulster, Delia, married
a wealthy city iiierrluint, nnd when Mary
wan IU she wns Invited to juish the win
ter month at their elegant house on Mur
ray Hill.
Mary's instinct uml Iden were high
toned and her taste nrtlstic. Sho liked
soft laces nnd jewel, she delighted to
wrap Aunt Delia's costly shawl about
her shapely shoulder nnd let them trail
gracefully over the velvet carpet nnd to
fold the dainty lace against tho elenr
wldte mid pink of her exquisite face and
Imagine herself some fair princes.
Aunt Delhi encouraged the girl in this
kIjc nrrnyed her in the finest and Intro
duced her into society nnd was proud of
the sensation her rare loveliness excited.
Mary's thought are best expressed by
reading over her sister's shoulder the let
ter that she received somewhat later.
This sister, Louisa, wa the eldest, very
plain and very good. Mary confided iu
lier without reserve.
P:nr Lou oh, that you were here! Hut you

but there are hut two eligible for matrimony.
Ono of them, Clifiord Maaon, li a perfect

aver ao much.
He's a fffMitlemun; but, alas, notwithstanding
all this, hu ia poor. Atmt says that he'll have to
"take a hack Keut." Poor fnlka muat, you know.
Utlead WIllouKhhy, the oilier candidate, ia fine
looking, too, hut he ia self opinionated and al
ways ready with a covert aneer; but then he is a
millionaire, nnd. of course, that will atone tor
all his faults.

P. S. I think even you could not help being
pleased with Clifton) Mason. Thcru is something
grand and noble about htm.
Willouuhhy sent her costly bouquets
inul seemed to live but for her smiles, yet,
with a woman's intuition, she knew that
beneath his courtly manner there wus a
hard, sellish nature, hut she thought that
he loved her as much as he loved any
thing heyonil his own pleasure nnd com
fort. Her heart lingered lovingly upon tho
manly words of Clifford Mason. "I am
poor, darling, but I could labor cheerfully
for you, for I love you."
She asked herself, Do I love Giloail
WillouglihyV If ho were poor or ill,
would I hu willing, to work for him?
Could I uccupt of "shabby gentility" and
wear niado over dresses for his sake? If
ho should lose his wealth, could I be a
true, loving wifo all the same?
"tillead is not a mini to die for a wom
an, nor for a woman to die for," sho
nilded, and witli the tears trembling like
ilewdrops upon her long lushes she
struggled nguiiiHt the temptation of being
the envied wifo of u millionaire.
And when tho struggle wns ended and
love had triumphed over ambition it wus
a tinio of joy when sho promised Clifford
Musou to bo his own true, loving wife,
in poverty or riches, in sickness or In
health.
It wus a glorious day in June when
these true lovers were married at the old
furniliouse where she had passed the
happy days of childhood, but she wus
quite content when her husband told her
that hu hud provided u plain, comfurtublu
home Iu New York city.
It wa evening when they arrived, und
when tho carriage stopped before a
stately mansion on Fiftli u venue nnd
Aunt Delia cume out in the hull to wel
come tlieiu she felt us if it wus u pleas
ant surprise. Could it be possible, after
nil, that her proud Aunt Knstinun meant
to forgive her for the serious fault of
marrying u poor mini!
And when she had finished a tour of
examination through the house mid duly
admired the decorations of the rooms,
tin h perfect in its way, she. congratulated
her Hunt upon the possession of so line u
munsiou. "I loved the dear old place on
Murray Hill," bhe said, "hocuuso it wus
there that I first met Clifford, but this
is lit for n king's palace."
"Do you regret liuving rejected tho mil
lionaire for the sake of ouo who has but
U loving heart and willing hands to offer
yon?" inquired her husband.
"I own thut I wus tempted, Cliff; but,
you see, love triumphed."
Clifford Mason wound his arms around
her and, looking Into her beautiful face,
radiant with love und happiness, said:
"Thou welcome huine, dear Mury, for
yon nre sole mistress here."
"Whut!" sho exclaimed, ill astonish
went. "Will you not love me just as well for
having deceived you? For this is my
excuse: I wished to be suro tlint you
loved me. Mary, I am ifut the poor man
thut you thought. I fear thut you will
have to put up with the incumbrance of
my millions, after ull." New York News.

THE CRIMINAL CUCKOO.

If .llifiire of llfnlH,
lind temper und cruelly are perhaps
the most obvious signs of menial de
generation In the beasts. The larger
monkeys, for instance, become us bail
tempered as n violent mull when they
grow old, and many In their treatment
of other animals nre cruel ns wo use
the word In regard to man. Among
tlio carnivorous beasts the cat lionises
Itself by tori tiring a mouse, and tho
weasel tribe kill for sheer love of kill
ing. No su!i cruelty Is seen among
eagles or falcon. Fierce ns their tem
pers nre, they do not torment other
birds which they cntcli or kill for kill
ing's sake, (lood temper Is general
among birds.
Kxeept the cuckoo, such a tiling as
an ill tempered wild bird Is unknown.
Nowhere In the race can n temper like
that of tho Tiismnnlan devil or the
wild hunting dog or tho Cape buffalo
or the baboon be found. Kven those
which In spring are thieves and egg
robbers nre not mniivnls coucbeiirs at
other times, (iood temper and good
fellowship In society, a personal affec
tion ti each other to which the beasts
offer no parallel. Industry nnd Inde
pendence, Intense devotion u'ul fore
sight in tending their young, with oth
er very human and engaging traits of
character, must nil be credited to tho
race of birds.
Among these kindly and simple na
tures the cuckoo Is a monster. Let
there bo no mistake on this subject
Ho unites In his life and character,
from the egg to the ndiilt bird, prac
tices und principles to which the whole
nice of warm blooded animals offers no
parallel. He Is nn outrage on the mor
al law of bird life, something so fla
grant and so utterly foreign to the way
of thought of these kindly beings that
If he did not exist he would bo Incon
ceivable. It Is not merely that ho Is 11
sitpplanter and a changeling. His
whole nature is so evil that In the
world of birds he Is an Incarnation of
tho principle of 111, nn embodiment of
vices which would if understood or
adopted by other birds put nn end to
tho existence of the race. Loudon

TRAINING WATCHDOGS.
Tiie Metlioil Tlint Is t'seil liy n tier
mil 11 I list riictor.
Although It Is generally believed that
watchdogs are "to the manner born,"
It seems that a certain amount of train
ing helps very much to turn out n real
ly good one. This system of training
has developed luto a regular business
In ltcrlin, where one llerr Straus hns
nn academy from which watchdogs
uro turned out by tho hundred every
year.
His system is educational nnd Is ap
plied to almost every kind of dog. Ho
lirst teaches the animal obedience by
training it lo'perform certain "tricks"
tit command ft nil then trains It to dis
tinguish between u visitor nnd a bur
glar and what part of a man's body
should bo attacked to render tho man
helpless.
Outside of the gate thu trainer places
a dummy representing the burglar, nnd
to the latch Is attached a string, liy
means of the string the gate is opened
fcluwly, until the head of the dummy
becomes visible, when the dog Is
tti light to fly at its throat. Hei r St rims
. very particular about this. He makes
his dogs attack the throat or the upper
part of the body always. Sometimes a
real man well padded takes the place
of tho dummy, und of course he is well
paid for his services.
All dogs, It seems, limy be made good
watchdogs, but the St.lleriiards and the
IiUsslun wolfhounds are tho best where
property of great value Is to bo guard
ed. For dogs not so fierce as they are
n different system of training is used.
They soon learn to guard anything
committed to their care, but are not so
quick to attack an Intruder ns tho

How to Trent r:l'ineii t u r IllMnrilera
or the Skin.
A great many elementary disorder
of the skin are due Iu a great measure
to want of exercise nnd an overabun
dant or a faulty diet. The remedy In
elfher case Is (dear. Fresh air and
wholesome living are the best factors
In preserving a 'clear complexion nnd
pure skin.
A frequent source of trouble Is the
appearance of small black specks.
These specks appear even on tho
healthy skin, nnd tlielr riddance Is n
matter of time. The face should bo
frequently washed wllh warm water
and a really good sulphur soup, n nil
the application of n mild sulphur oint
ment two or three times a week will
nlso help the cure. A carbolic treat
ment, Is also to he recommended. A
spoonful of carbolic lotion, specially
prepared lor toilet use, should be add
ed to the basin of warm wilier nnd the
face be washed with carbolic toilet
soap twice dally. 1,'sc a rough Turkish
glove or loofah when souping the face,
so that the specks are loosened, and
dry the face with 11 roughlsh towel,
afterward applying nn astringent lo
tion. This treatment, ought to keep the
skin clear and to prevent the black
specks from Increasing. A vapor face
bath Is also urged ns n skin pui'll'er,
always remembering to close the pores
afterward with n simple tonic. When
the specks are obstinate5, they should
be removed with clean linger nulls.
Small red eruptions on the skin may
also be treated with sulphur ointment
or lotion, and It Is often advisable to
take in addition a blood purifier, such
ns flowers of sulphur.

"Il's strange, yes, very strange, that
the story of the great trial id All ltcn
Ding never nnpeured In print, for thut
Was the most leiiiarkuhle murder trial
ever held In New York county.
"An Knglish ship arrived in New York
(inihor early in April in the year lfl()8.
Her name, 1 think, was the Blue l'igeon,
and she was freighted to the water line
ntii had many passengers a hoard, among
tlieiu AH 1'eii Ding, n native of India.
The Hindoo took n siniill cottage on the
eut-kits of the city, 1 think In the neigh
borhood of where Canal street is today,
lie lived nil alone and was rarely seen
In the st'reels except about dusk, when
he used ti walk down to thu riverside
nnd wntehi the sun setting in the west
nhove tho Palisades. Not far from where
All Hon Dng lived was the house of
Stephen Van Yliet, the money lender,
who was reputed to have stored nway
In his cellar and garret untold hugs of
silver nnd gold, which ho treasured be
yond ull things dear in life. .Not many
moiiih lifter the oriental cunio to New
York he was seen walking on tlm Hud
son's bunk in company with Stephen
Van Vliet, both talking together in deep
earnestness. It did not take long for tho
idle to circulate stories to the effect that
Stephen had sold himself to the devil
for more hags of gold, the Hindoo con
ducting tiie bargain.
"A year passed by nnd summer cume
round again, and still the curious were
nil at sin ns to the business of All Hen
Ding in 'ye ancient town of New York.'
The gossips, imahle to luy their tongues
to nnv suled initial story concerning tho
strange black mail from the fur east, con
tented themselves with wagging' their
1 1 1 -n . 1 s and nodding signiricunl ly, if not
somewhat fearfully, whenever his iinma
was mentioned. Imagine their satisfac
tion when one morning the body of
Stephen Van Vliet was found in n nnr
ro'.v la lie near his house with n long
knife of remarkable workmanship plung
ed in his heart. More than one had seen
that terrible and awe provoking knife
sticking iu Ihe scarlet sash of All Hen
Ding, k.i that not many hours passed be
fore the sheriff and his men went to tho
1 1 union's little house, whence they con
veyed him to the town jail, where ho was
eonlineil in the strongest cell, which was
further strengthened with lniiliy new
locks and bolts.
"The esquire justices of tlio general
quurfcr sessions court, knowing the in
tense feeling against the oriental in tho
town and consequently thu rude crowd
that would till the courtroom and greatly
liilile the judicial dignity of the bench
when ti e murderer was brought to trial,
decided to v ait until late mine after
noon, when every body was ut supper, und
then bring the prisoner Into court und
deal out suuimary justice to him. Con
sequently utie hot evening In August All
lien Ding was taken from his cell nnd
brought In a n umlahout way and with
great s. crcey to the little city hall, where
the general quarter sessions court dis
pensed the criminal business of tlio
comity.
"The prisoner, securely handcuffed to
the sheriff, was brought info the almost
deserted courtroom and arraigned before
the six solemn bewigged mid somber
gowned esquire juswccs. The attorney
general, his one a.-.-is;aiit, Ihe clerk of the
court, the k'.ioi iff, his two deputier and
my anees'or, John Noble, completed the
court complement.
"Tlio uLtoniey general iu u few word
stilted the prosecution's case, and, after
exhibiting the knife which the sheriff
swore he had found in Stephen Van
Vliet's jieiirt, rested his case. The court,
through the presiding justice, nsked tho
prisoner if he wished to bo defended by
counsel.
"The prisoner, Ali Hen Ding, who hiul
stood in the dock with bowed head dur
ing the brief oration of the attorney gen
eral, fixed his piercing black eyes upon
the six solemn judges, then, raising his
hands above his head, begun to mumble
in n voice like it faraway echo from thu
tomb. Suddenly the entire room was
filled with impenetrable daruness nnd
every one stood transfixed us If turned
to stone, terror stilling their very heart
ben Is. Hardly 11 second passed when the
blank, whitewashed wall at the farther
end of Ihe courtroom stood out in glisten
ing while iu the blackness. Kvery eye
was lixed on the wall, which in a second
was covered with n perfect picture of
nature, in nil the living colors. The pic
ture showed (he little lane lending to
Stephen Van Vliet's cottage. The chang
ing hues of evening were livid above the
gently wining tree tops that shaded tho
lane. A rabbit cruwled out of its hole
nnd scampered away in the hushes. Then
Vim Vliet and Ali Hen Ding could bo
seen coming out of a little grove and
walking slowly along the lane towurd
Vnn Yliet's house. They were walking
slowly and apparently conversing in low
tones, when all of n Buddeu two rough
looking men jumped out from behind a
cluster of high bushes. One of the men
jumped behind Ali Hen Ding uud pin
ioned his mills to his side while the other
tore the knife out of his sash nnd in a
twinkling caught Stephen Van Vliet by
the neck, threw him to the ground on his
buck and plunged thu long knife iu his
heart. T!,cu the two men stopped, us if
hearing footsteps, and after waiting a
few seionds disappeared among the trees.
Here the picture failed, uud the darkness
tii.U shrouded the oourlrooni was brush
ed awry as if by an invisible hand. Ali
Hon Ding was still standing with bent
head. Simultaneously thu six justices
made a Mgnil.cuiit sign to the sheriff,
who went to the dock uud opened tho Ut
ile gate to allow thu prisoner to walk out.
