Circumstantial Evidence By LIEUT. Frank Osgood and Harry Cummings were two young fellows who had been friends from earliest childhood, and schoolmates together up to the age of fourteen. In Bristol, England. Their fathers were merchants, and the fami lies were very well off as regards this world's goods. The two young men, having secured as good common school education as was possible, both enter ed the counting rooms of their respec tive parents, and were still boon com panions until they chanced to make the acquaintance of Miss Mary Marr, ft girl In their own sphere of society, And about the same ago as the young frlenda Btill for some months after their In troduction to Miss Marr, there was no unpleasantness between them, but by and by the simple acquaintance seem ed to ripen Into one of Intimacy be tween the three, and all at once it Hashed upon both Harry and Frank that they were both in love with Miss Marr, and as both could not marry her, a source of rivalry was Inevitable. Yet so well founded was their long and consistent friendship that there was no exhibition of feeling upon the ubject between them, and to all out ward appearances they were still the best of friends when together. But When absent from each other a spirit of antagonism very naturally suggest ed Itself, until by degrees It did not (all to be manifest in public. The. young lady had not shown any preference between them, and If she bad a choice she thus far kept it quite to herself. She treated them so nearly alike, and regarded both with such un disguised good will and friendship, that the most acute observer could de tect no partiality. , Frank Osgood and Harry Cummings each imagined himself the favored one, and put just such interpretations upon r words and smiles as he pieasea. Thus matters remained for a consid erable time without having progressed to such a stage as would warrant eith er In seeking to formally make known bis pretensions, or to ask of Miss Marr her own avowal of affection. But In the meantime the slight change in the feelings of Harry and Frank toward each otlier grew to be Something quite serious, and they mu tually wondered how they could ever have been good friends in times past. They no longer spoke Jo each other. If they met they would turn their faces away without the least recognition, and this Damon and Pythias appeared as though they only lacked the means and opportunity In order to destroy each other. Their friends and ac quaintances observed the change, and Boon learning of the intimacy of the young men at the house of Miss Marr, they were not long in drawing the very natural deduction that jealousy was at the bottom of this discord between the two long-tried young friends. Of course, there was nothing which other parties could do in the premises, how ever much this state of affairs might be regretted. Miss Marr was a very sweet and ac complished girl of eighteen, and no one wondered that the gentlemen found BO much pleasure in her society. She aw how bitter a feeling she had been the cause of creating between Harry and Frank, and, In her very delicate and sensitive nature, she deeply re gretted it, and said to herself: "When I come to let them know which of them I prefer, then the bitter hate which now exists between them will all be transferred to the heart of one." This was very true. The bitterness between the former friends seemed to Increase daily, until finally ' meeting by themselves, they deliberately proposed to each other to aeek some quiet spot and to settle their pretensions to the hand of Miss Marr with pistols. This was but a few years since, when resort to the duel In England was scarcely heard of. But so much In earnest were these rivals that they agreed to this plan, selected the spot for the purpose, and made, very se cretly the necessary arrangements. When, by some mistake all was discov ered, they were brought before the lo cal court and put under heavy bonds to respect the laws and to behave themselves properly. This ended the proposed duel, though they had been quite In earnest. The families of Osgood and Cum inings lived In outlying cottage houses In the suburbs of Bristol, and not far Separated from each other, all the oth er mem berO of these families being on the best of terme. One morning the nelghborhod be came very much excited over the fact that Frank Osgood was missing. The window of his room was open and rery near the ground, by which means certain tracks indicated that he had left his father's house. He had taken nothing away with htm except the clothes he usually wore, so far as could be discovered, and after a whole day's earch for him the matter of his sud den disappearance began to look quite serious. Beneath the window by which young Osgood seemed to have made his es cape during the night there were foot prints in considerable numbers, as though there had been more than one person present at the time. While these tracks continued Iff the yard on the soft ground, they could be snced, and an impression had been flURRAY. carefully taken of them by the po lice. In the meantime every effort whs made to discover a solution of the mystery, but all to no purpose. Harry Cummings found the coast clear, so to. speak, and in a few days he ventured to tell Miss Marr how tenderly he loved her, and how long he had done so. To his great delight he found that his affection was re ciprocated. The excitement at the sudden disap pearance of Frank Osgood in no way abated. Suddenly It was remembered how bitter an enmity had lately sprung up between him and young Cummings. The officers of the law even referred to the proposed duel which had been pre vented by the interference of the au thorities, and It was more than hinted that possibly Harry Cummings might throw some light upon the matter. In his absence from home one day, a detective called at his house with a search warrant, much to the conster nation of the family. This officer had with him a measure representing the footprints under the missing man's windows, and he found that Harry's shoes just fitted the impression, which seemed to him to be such conclusive evidence of his having been present beneath the window that he sought the office of the district attorney at once. Strange whispers were heard about the neighborhood. Harry Cummings was kept under close surveillance by the local police. All his Incomings and outgoings were carefully observed, but nothing suspicious could be found against him except the fatal accuracy wfth which hta shoes fitted those marks under the missing man's win dow, and also the fact that he was bo bitter an enemy of Frank Osgood. The sentiment of jealousy supplied a motive, and altogether a rather sus picious case began to grow up against young Cummings. Though on examination it appeared that Frank had left no money in his room, it was also remembered that he usually carried a pocketbook with him containing the most, if not all, of his available cash. He was in the receipt of a regular salary from his father, and, as his habits were economical, he must have had a considerable sum in his pocketbook. But still there was no reason to suspect that a robbery had taken place. The missing mau must have been Induced to leave his room voluntarily, that was plain, though why or wherefore was a pro found mystery. In their researches, the detectives learned another fact, which, as a link in the chain, looked very important to them, and very suspicious. There was no latchkey to the door of the Cum mings house and anyone desiring en trance after a certain hour, when the front door was always locked, would be compelled to ring and summon one of the servants. It was remem bered by the maid, wh6ao duty It was to answer the doorbell that on Tues day night when Frank Osgood had disappeared, her young master, Harry, had come home very late, long after she had retired, and she was obliged to get up and put on a wrapper to open the door for him. She was very sleepy she said, and just remembered the fact, but nothing more. She could not even tell the time, but thought it was after midnight. She did not no Ice her young master's appearance on the occasion, as she was half asleep at the time. Such was the girl's sim ple evidence. Harry Cummings was now arrested and thrown into prison. Evidence suf ficient was thought to exist to impli cate him, and the cry once raised, pub lic opinion gradually set against him. The proposed duel, the known bitter ness existing between him and the missing man, the footprints exactly fitting those of his own shoes, his ab sence from home on that special night at an unusual hour, all seemed to point to complicity in his former friend's disappearance, nearly as strongly as circumstantial evidence could do. Of course, the accused procured the best possible legal assistance, and found no difficulty in convincing his counsel of his innocence of the charge brought against him, but at the same time the legal gentleman was com pelled to admit that there was con siderable ground for a case against his client. Harry explained to his law yer that he had taken a long walk that evening into the country, and in an absorbed frame of mind had gone fur ther than he knew of, and that whea he turned to come home, he was him self surprised at the distance he bad walked. This waB the cause of his not getting home that Tuesday night until jut after midnight. "Whut were you thinking about to absorb you so?" asked his lawyer. "Miss Marr," said Harry, frankly. "I was making up my mind to propose to her, and was weighing the proper course to pursue in case I found her indifferent, or if there should be any obstacles raised. It may seem a slight matter to you," he continued to bis legal adviser, "but It was all absorb ing to me, and I neither sa w nor heard what was going on about me." "You did not meet anyone?" "No; it was quite dark, and be sides, if I had, I should not have no ticed them." "That's a pity." "Why?" "Because, if we could prove j to have been elsewhere on that evening 01 night, we are all right. "Oh, an alibi?" "Exactly." The bitterness of feeling between Frank Osgood and himself hs freel; admitted, though he said: "It is all pone now, since Miss Man and m)-self understand each other." The matter of the footprints, Harry thought a simple absurdity. It was quite possible that the shoes of both were of the same size, and possibly the same mak. "Young Osgood was a great favor ite," said his counsel, "and had not an enemy in the world, as far as known, except yourself. And as there is no evidence of robbery, what possible mo tive could lead anyone to put him ost of the way? That Is what the other side will argue," he said to his client. ."You were the one enemy." Over three months had elapsed since the disappearance of young Osgood, and the trial of Harry Cummings was about to take place, but close confine ment in prison and depressed spirits had together so worked upon his health that he was seriously ill of slow fever, too ill, as the doctors testified, to he brought up for trial. ThlB wa unfortunate in one respect. It gave thoso who believed In his guilt a fresh item of gossip, and they declared that his Illness was assumed in order to stave off the conviction which would follow his trial. At last, after a considerable delay the trial came on. The principle evi dence relied upon by the prosecution waB that which has already been men tioned, and through the ingenious mani pulation of the district attorney, a very strong case, based upqn circumstantial evidence, was clearly made out against Harry Cummings. Now it was that all the womanly tenderness of Mary Marr, all the sin cerity of her affection, and all her confidence In her lover, shone out In beautiful relief as compared to the se vere ordeal through which he was called to pass. She was by his side in court, she visited him In prison, she ministered at his sick bed, and she loved Harry all the better because he was the victim of such misfortune. The case had been nearly closed. It was the morning upon which Harry's counsel was to make his closing argu ment. The courthouse was crowded to suffocation. There was little doubt in the minds of the public that Harry Cummings would be brought in guilty. Some trifling matters, which we need not now refer to, had been brought to light which were thought to Btltl fur ther Implicate the prisoner. The court was opened with more than UBiial sol emnity. The counsel for the defense rose and delivered a very strong argument against the weakness of circumstantial evidence. It was a philippic that com manded profound attention, and even the Judges listened to it with earnest ness and surprise, it was so well ex pressed, and so indisputable In its de ductions. "And now, may It please the court and gentlemen of the jury In re ply to all the. evidence introduced against my client, in reply to the fal lacy generally of circumstantial evi dence, I shall give you but oiie proof." He walked quietly to a side door, and opened it. Frank Osgood walked Into the court, well and hearty, bowing low to the Judge and jury! The surprise of all can hardly be de scribed. It was impassible for the officers to preserve a proper state of decorum under such exciting circumstances, and cheers arose in the room from the crowd, so genuine, so spontaneous, as to defy all attempt to control them, while some of the women fainted, partly from Intensity of feeling, and partly from excitement, caused by the noise, which was for some moments perfectly doarenlng. Frank Osgood waa very generally known to those present, and was, of course, instantly recognised. Walking up to the prisoner, Harry Cummings, the long-missing man gave him his hand cordially, which created another burst of applause, and it was absolutely necessary to clear the court room before further legal proceedings could take place, owing to the reign ing excitement among the spectators. All was scon explained. The night before his disappearance, Frank had made an avowal of his love of Mary Marr, and had been firmly but delicately refused. This so morti fied and embittered him at first that he became almost crazed. He did not go to bed that night at all, but, Jump ing out of the low window, wandered he knew not whither. Finally com ing to the shore, he saw a ship just letting go her moorings to drop down to sea with the morning tide. She was bound for South America. Hardly knowing what he did, Frank went on toard and sailed on her. Sea life soon restored him to his normal condition. Absence cured him also of his unrequited love, and he sought the earliest means of returning to England. It was before the cable had been laid, and so he brought the news ot hi own. safety in person, ar riving the very morning when he ap peared in court.

P. O'Connor, M. P. EMORY training, like seems to be a topic of interest Just now. Now, in the first place, it is necessary to consider what are the various purposes of training the memory. These, 1 think, can be divided into three classes or sorts: 1. The purpose of acquiring and retaining facts in any branch of knowledge. 2. The purpose of remembering, for a period more or less brief, and by a conscious effort, certain facts or impres M sions, or groups of facts or impressions, as they happen. 3. The purpose of being possessed of what is known ns "a good memory." It is the first of these three classes, and the first section of that class, Which is loudest in its outcry for an invlgorator of memories, and to which most systems primarily appeal. Every system of memory training that Is not purely arbitrary must, I ap prehend, be based upon the well known and ancient principle entitled "the as sociation of ideas." A certain person haB no difficulty in remembering certain extrinsic facts. Thus you may hear a man say: "I always know the exact date of th,e battle of Waterloo bocause I was born on June 18." One thing sug gests another, and the great object of the memory trainer Is, when one thing does not suggest another, artificially to Induce It to suggest another. Thus (in the matter of those Balkan capitals), Roumania does not suggest Bucharest, but if you think of a maniac and of arresting him, you will never in future forget that Bucharest Is the capital of Roumania, because the two names will henceforth be associated by an Idea. I give this merely as a ran dom and clumsy Illustration of the principle, a principle which is certainly ca pable of marvelous elaboration and wide application. It can be utilized to memorize a list for shopping just as successfully as the heads of an argument or the good tales heard at the club. The treatment of numbers is, and must be, more arbitrary and much more artificial. Numerals are not connected with ideas, and cannot therefore, as numerals, be connected one with another. But if one begins by laying aown that the first nine letters of the alphabet shall stand respectively for the nine numerals, and O for naught, all the other letters remaining meaningless, one Instantly has a basis upon which to construct associations. A first class system of memory training will neither be random nor clumsy. It will be carefully planned and worked out so as to gain the greatest possible end by the smallest means. It will be full of minor Ingenuities. It will be adaptable, elastic and comprehensive. Russian "Third Section" By Vance USS1A is pre-eminently the land of spies. Democratic and socialistic France has raised the spy system to a state func tion, but In Russia it is the very soul of the state. In Mob- RJ cow, in the streets, agents of the police are stationed every X five hundred yards; In addition, secret agents watch the : I WW WW WW houses day and night one being allotted to every four houses; and in every house is another spy, the porter. Go where you will, you are never out ofthe watchful eye of the police. You brush against spies in your hotel, as in the tbeatresr In a restaurant, as in the drawing room ot a friend. It is ridicu lously easy to recognize those you meet in the fashionable resorts. They have evidently been instructed to disguise themselves as gentlemen, and for one of them the livery of a gentleman Is a frock coat, a silk hat, and, always by rain or sunlight an umbrella. The famous third police! A stranger might fancy that, in an open cab talkng Fernch or English to his friend he would at least be safe from surveillance; but his friend will touch him significantly and speak of the weather. The fat cabby on the box, somnolent, with white hair and good paternal eyes, may be a spy, more skilled in the languages than the traveling stranger; and, If the cabman has been found loitering near the great clubs, the hotels, or the embassies, the chances are strong that he Is. A sub tler police than that of the third section the akrana, which has its ramifica tions In every capital in Europe and America completes this great system of espionage.

The genial proprietors believe in furnishing their guests with the best of everything, ond now, after Investigating and find ing that Artificial Sunlight can be bad, they have Installed a complete ncety leno gus plnut to produce it, and have connected upwards of six thousand Acetylene burners In and about the plant.

It Is adapted for use vrliorever artificial light 1b needed and the necessary ap paratus can be understood and oper ated by any one. The generator In which Acetylene Is produced by the automatic contact of carbide and water might be termed a gas plant, as it performs al! of the functions of a city gas plant The acetylene generator can be purchased for a few dollars and in any size, from one adapted to furnish acetylene to ten or a dozen burners for a cottage, np to the large but still simple ma chine such as is now furnishing Acet ylene for six thousand burners In the Grand Union. Outside of large cities the use of Acetylene is quite common. The own er of the country home now demands running water, gas and other conveni ences which a few years ago were con sidered as luxuries, and acetylene gas bos met bis requirements, and gives him a better and cheaper light than is ordinarily furnished in cities.

Why T Why, whea buying a book, are we In Uucnced. hy the author's name? Why by as artist's if we purchase s picture? Why do wife buyers insist upon having a rolii'ible name on nearly everything they purchase? It is because the name attached is the safeguard of the buyer a protection against the palming off of inferior articles. This "name guarantee" we all look for in the most important thinm? we buy, and what can be moro important than our food? Everybody knows that all intelligent housekeepers are very particular about the buying of things to eat and drink, and no body realizes it more than the up-to-date grocer, wno caters to me wants oi nis cu tomers.
