A PAIR OF TROUSERS.
WAS just aliont to
go ont to luncheon
when the jortor
1ronj(ut in n card.

Knows wuat besides.
"What docs he look like?" I asked
the porter, somewhat anxiously.
"Well, well," the cautious old hoy
liepau, "he wears ineredilde trousers.
CJuite increditile trouser, sir."
What was I to do? If I did not ad
mit him, the fellow would wnit for nie
in tha street, or would even follow m i
to the club, Bin! thers expose me be- j
fore my friends. TerliKps, after all, I
it was better to receiva him here and !
try to outwit him. I gave my porter
five shillings.
"Now, look yon here," I said, 'this !
gentleman is an old friend of mine,
but he is a ne'er-do-well. Do yon sea I
what I mean? Well, you've seen his I
trousers. Very likely he will want to
borrow money from me. I shall then
say that I buva no money, and must
borrow some from you. A'ow, after I
kave made the necessary speech to
you, yon give theso rive shillings to
me, regretting that it is all yon can
coll your own in this world."
The porter grinned slily, and al
lowed my old frieud Louis to enter the
room.
Good heavens! his trousers were
indeed "incredible ;" too short, frayed
at the, edge and of a blue, gray and
green check pattern, which had been
the fashion' in my grandfather's time.
Nor was his blue coat at all new. He
wore it buttoned all the way up so
that yon could say nothing about his
waistcoat. There were gray lights in
his collar, find his cravat was greay.
Also, his enrly black hair, now tinged
with gray, und his beard were much
neglected. An ill odor came from the !
big black cigar ho held in hie hand,
ami his boots left wet marks on the
light carpet.
"Yes, old fellow," he saii'i, and gave
me two thumps; "you are quite right.
I want to borrow money of you, but
it is or a very important matter. I
might come and t?U you that I have
not tasted warm food for a week ; I
might talk to you of a debt of honor
amounting to 50; I might take from
you a o note to pay the landau that
is to tako mo to the place where I am
to tight a dnel. But I have borrowed
money from other friends for all these
purposes, and to-day it is a graver
matter. I ask for a sovereign do you
hear? only a sovereign. I really
require a gninea, but the shilling I
roust must got from somebody else,
and since we are old friends I will
only ask you for the twenty shillings.
Yon ahull have it back to-night before;
dinner. If I am not back at that time
you may consider me a wretch, a
Bcamp, a fraud. I authorize you
to get your porter to throw me down
stairs next time I come here, if I do
not keep my word to-day. I regret
not to be able to give you more details
concerning my purposes with the
sovereign. I may only say that it is
wanted for a remarkable business
transaction, on which ike happiness
of my life may depend.
I did aa I have always done in such
cases. He Lad made me langh and I
gave him the sovereign. He pawned
a few more words of honor and van
ished. For a moment the idea oc
curred to me to invite tha good old
fellow to lunoheon. But don't you
see, a man with such incredible trou
sers no, it would never go.
At five minutes to 7 o'clock the old
porter opened the door of my oflioo,
announcing in a respectful tone, "Mr.
Louis Degars."
"Here I aai as I promised, and here
are your twenty shillings," said my
old friend, Louis, slapping me on the
back and giving ma a friendly nudge.
"By Jove I" I said, from out of the
depth of ay surprise. "I shouldn't
have thought it. Has your business
been a suooesa?"
"Of oourse," ha said, and showed
ma a heap of shillings. There most
have been fifty or sixty shillings, and
I notioed that he took them ont of tha
pocket of a brand new pair of trousers.
It was respectable, veil-out pair, of
discreetly dark-gray color. This
explained the note of respect in tha
porter's voice when ha announced my
friend, Louis.
Can I do anything ohw for yon?"
I Mkad him. with all the voliteness
which Is extended to people who pay
their dobts.
"Many thanks, nothing else. It will
all tnn smoothly now."
A few days later I met him accident
ally in the street. He did not see me,
but, as I looked casually at him, I
noted that again he wore a new pair
ot trousers, this time of a charming
chestnut color. He must be flourish
ing, surely. Again after a few days
he came into our office, to make a small
payment into the bank. Almost nn
ronscionsly I cast a look upon his legs,
and discovered another new pair of
tronsers, this time of an original,
though not particular tasteful, olive
mustard green. I shook my head.
How very wasteful of him to go thus
into trousers I Why could ho not
spend a couple of sovereigns to buy a
new cont instead ot all these things?
His blue cont sadly reqnired replacing.
I almost said so to him, but was afraid
he might then ask ire to lend more
money, and only gave him a friendly
nod.
Meanwhile my study of the circum
stances connected with my old friend's
trousers had had tho curious conse
quence that, quito involuntarily, I be
gan to look at the trousers of every
person with whom I came in contact
during the day. And imagine what
happened I To my boundless conster
nation I noticed that all our clerks,
messengers, poriers and other officials
never wore the same trni.sers more
than once. They nil appeared every
morning in brand new tronsers, and
sometimes they eveu wore one pair in
the morning and another in tho after
noon. The end was that I could think
of nothing but this matter; it took
hold of me more and more. During
my waking hours and in my very
dreams I always sked the question:
What in the world inducv all these
sensible peoplo t bo so madly extrav
agant nliont their trousers? At last I
could stand it no longer. I lr.ade some
jesting remark, about it to the old por
ter whose business ic w as to nnuonnce
my visitors. His nnswer was given in
a reserved manner and with so pecu
liar a smilethntthedreadtrutli dawned
at once upon me ; I was a maniac.
There was no doubt about it, I had a
new disease, trousers mania, a peculiar
kiud of hilinein.'itiou 1 1 decided at
once to keep the matter a profound
secret, and to say nothiug to anybody.
I was especially careful mver again to
breathe a word about it to any of our
ofiioials, bin I could not prevent my
self from studying, with morbid min
uteness, and day after day, tha trous
ers they wore. It was always the same.
Every one wore every day a new pair
of tronserr, often even two pairs in a
singlo day. Tronsers o? all sorts and
conditions, striped, checked, light,
dark, Ion?, short, tight, wide it was
maddening !
Ons day I went secretly to one ol
our most eminent specialists for men
tal diseases. 1 put my case befora him.
nud was partly consoled and partly
horrilied when he was not in the least
surprised, but said, with a goo.l hu
mored laugh: "Well, well, it is not so
very bad."
"What did yon say, doctor? Xot
so bad? But plainly, 1 am mad !"
"Mad," he said very drily. 'Tours
ia a most interesting case of halluci
nations of the optical nerves. Get
away for a month."
Time went on, and with it my dis
ease. I still did my work, and the di
rectors of my bank eveu sent me a
complimentary letter at the close of
the year. I ate and drank as usual,
but all the same I felt that I was sink
ing deeper and deeper into tiio black
abyss ot insanity.
The first glance I cast at people at
this time fell always involuntarily upon
their trousers. In this way I noticed,
with great surprise, how very large
was the number of new trousers which
daily made their appearance in this
vale of tears. Meanwhile ' I was be
ginning to think of leaving my post,
and of finding some work in Scotland
or Central Africa, where I understood
that there are no trousers, when one
day my old friend Louis was- an
nounced. "Of course," I said aloud
to myself as he entered, for be was in
deed wearing a new pair of tronsers,
very wide at the top and tight below
the knees. It was a black and white
check. A curious garment, rather
loud, but not without an air of dis
tinction. His whole Appearance was
in harmony with them. He wore a
jacket and waistcoat of tine black cloth,
faultless linen, a large bright colored
cravat, a heavy gold watch chain, a
shiny new silk hat and a stick with a
gold head. Perhaps it was not gold,
but it looked like it
"Well, old fellow!" he called out
and stepped with youthful energy on
my corns. "I have come to take leave
oi you. Thanks to the twenty shillings
you generously lent to me the other
day I have become a rich man, and 1
intend now to go baok and live at
home. I am going to buy a small
house and live comfortably on my in
come. "
I was speechless with astonishment.
He looked perfectly sane and steady.
His hair and beard were fashionably
arranged and he gave one the impres
sion of being a pensioned cavalry offl
cer or a circus director who, having
made his fortune, was about to retire
into his native town, there to pose aa
an honored and honorable citizen
"What tha deuce have you bees
doing r I asked. "Have yon mur
dered your old aunt?" Have yon
robbed a bank ? Have you won on the
race course? Have you stolen valua
ble papers at a foreign .Embassy 7
He shook with laughter. "No," he
said. "I have only traded in trousers?"
"Traded ia trousers I" I roared, till
the windows shook, and I sank back
ia my chair.
: "Traded ia tronsers," he repeated,
very calmly. "Why should I not trade
ia tronsers T Don 't get exoited. "
''I am not excited, bat I must cob
fess that I was rather taken aba 5k at
the first moment by the idea that yon,
a former officer, should trade in trous
ers. "
"Well," he said, slightly annoyed,
'I know a great many formor officers
in America who are earning a living as
waiters. I fancy a trouser merchant
is worth as mneh as they."
"Certoinly," I interrupted. "But
let me hear your story."
He stretched himself full length upon
a couch, lit his cigar, and began : "A
few hours before I asked you for the
sovereign I was hungry, poor and
ragged. Iu the Rue Bivoli I venlked
into a large shop where a sale was go
ing on. 1 did this, not to buy any.
thing, bnt to get a little warmer.
When I had got warm, I listened me
chanically to the crier and heard that
on the following day 100,000 pairs ot
tronsers, in lots of ten pairs, were to
be sold. There were very few people
in tho shop ; I studied the trousers, as
they lay in lots of ten pairs, and saw
that they were decent results of tha
tailor's art ; good material and good
work. Tho pair was sold at two shil
lings, but you had to take ten rmjis at
least.
"Long experience has taught me
that 'my aunt' (the pawnshop) gives
five or six shillings for a good pair of
tronsers. Can't you see my calcula
tion? With a sovereign I could buy ten
pairs ; you were good enough to lend me
the money ; I bought ten pairs of trous
ers and took them immediately to the
pawnshop. A great disappointment
was in storo for ine. The man behind
the counter told me that new articles
could not be received in a pawnshop.
What ciuld I do? I put my case to
the man, and vowed that I had worn
the things, bnt that they only looked
so new because I was a very neat and
careful man, who looked after his
clothes. At last he took them. He
gave me six shillings for each pair
which I had bought for two. It was a
lucky day I Next day I bought twenty
pairs and spent the afternoon and
evening in wearing them. And the
day after that I took them all to the
various branches of the pawnshop, af
ter which I had suflicient money to buy
fifty pairs.
"Of course I could not wear them
all, and as I did not know a soul in
the place except your old porter I be
gan to make love to hi in, nud supplied
all your bank ofiioials with trousers
that is to say, I made to each of them
a present of a pair on the condition
that he must wear two pairs of my
new ones a day. As soon as tha
trousers began to look worn I pawned
them that is to say, I caused them
to be pawned by my clerks. For my
business went so well that I could no
longer manage it alone. I had about
sixty assistants, some of whom were
employed in walking about the boule
vards wearing new trousers. Occasion
ally I got them to wear three or feur
pairs at a time in order to expedite
business. Inns 1 soou got tho 100,
000 pairs into my hands. The great
difficulty now arose that tho pawn
shop, brimming over with trousers,
would take no more. My men were
even threatened to be taken to tiie
police. Home 20,000 pairs are now
slumbering in the cupboards of 'my
aunt.' And the principal pawnshops
are glutted in the same way, for I had
finally to send travelers into the prov
inces.
"The net result of it all is that,
after all expenses are paid, I have made
a profit of live shillings on each pair
of trousers, or some 20,000 on the
lot. Besides this I am taking 200 pairs,
the best, of their kind, home. They
will last me for life. Finally, in
order to express my gratitude, I have
made generous presents of good warm
tronsers to eery kind of charitable
institution in the country. Every one
of your officials has had a present ot
two pairs, and you, my good friend,
must allow me (be pulled out a
parcel) "to present you with this
magnificent specimen, this best pair
in the collection."
And he unwrapped a truly elegant
light gray pair of trousers, made after
the most fashionable Euglish manner,
pat it on the table in front of me, and
said: "When you get a seat on the
Parish Council you must wear them
at the first meeting you attend."
"A thousand thanks, you dear old
follow, I said, pressed his hand, and
embraced him in my delight.

Marvelous Piece ot Mechanism,
One of the most wonderful machines
in these days of miraculous mechanism
is the chronoscope. It took form
under the skilful hands of Wheat
stone, the mathematicao, who needed
an instrument to measure smaller in
tervals of time than his clock or watch
could indicate. Many improvements
have been made in the chronoscope
since Wbeatstone patented it in 1840,
and now the machine is employed to
measure the flight of projectiles from
a gun. So accurate is it that it will
detect and reoord a difference of time
amounting to a millionth part of
second, and, electricity being need ia
recording the passage of a projectile,
it is possible to determine to a very
small fraction the rate ot speed with
which a shot flies from gun.
