At about 9 in the evening a man turned the corner of Madison avenue and Sixty third street, walked slowly along the block, then pausing glanced at a row of handsome houses which stood in their sameness, dark and stately, selected the third, the high steps and au thoritatively rang the bell. It was early spring, tho air was soft, the night still, and tho sharp clang echoed for a moment before the door was opened by a trim waiting maid. The moonlight revealed to this maid a boyish looking fellow, who held carefully in both hands a flowerpot containing a most beautiful azalea in the full bloom of its pink blos soms. The maid involuntarily smiled as she saw the lovely flower, and the smile was answered by an engaging ono from tho young man. "Is Mrs. Courtland at home?" "No, sir." ■ "Mr. Courtland?" "No, sir. They are at the theater." An expression of disappointment cross ed the youth's face, and ho hesitated a? if puzzled. "Won't yon step in?" After an instant's pause tho man did so, throw a comprehensive glance about him und said, "I promised to deliver this plant to Mrs. Courtland herself, but it's a long way up, and I believe I'll leave it." He had one of those pathetic voices in which there is an unconscious appeal, and this, together with his frank blue eye and pleasant manner, created sym pathy for his disappointment in the maid's heart. So Bhe received the plant carefully from him and was about to place it on a hall chair when tho man gently interposed, "Excuse me; I'd rath er you'd put it in a safer place." "Surely," and as the plant was heavy the maid went slowly down the long hull, turning her back completely. The man dropped a card 011 the chair, pushed the door to with a loud slam, and with astonishing agility and lightness sprang up the staircase, disappearing before her return. "Well, he might lia' waited," she mut tered, throwing tho curd into the silver salver, and tho man, who paused in the hall above, heard her descend into the basepient. He smiled, listened, stepped into the dimly lighted library, passed through two dressing rooms into the bedroom beyond, turned up tho gas slightly, and with a ligl:raing glance took in the apart ment and its appointments. As he had calculated, the room was prepared for tho night, so 110 ran little chance of being disturbed. Ho touched nothing until he caught Bight of a gray coat thrown carelessly over a chair. This ho seized, thrust his hand into the insido pocket and drew forth with evident satisfaction a letter, which, hastily examining, 110 kept. Ho then replaced tho coat with precision, lowered the light, listened intently and prepared to descend, when the elicit of a night key was heard in the lock. The owners of the house had returned. A pause. Footsteps on the stairs. Double portiores draped tho doors. 110 slipped botwoen them. Mrs. Courtland entered, turned up tho light and with negligent grace threw off a long opera wrap, revealing that gho wus a beautiful woman in full evening dress, tall, slight, blond. For a full minute she gazed at herself reflected in tho cheval glass, then discontentedly Bat 'down before it and commenced unclasp ing tho ornaments from dress and hair and arms. A well built man with a plain face and fine carriage entered and stood silently regarding her. "Tired, Gertrude?" Mr. .Courtland asked kindly. "No." / "Sick?" "No." "What then?" "Bored; so bored." "Why not have gone to the opera?" "I have heard 'Lohengrin' until I luvte it." "Gertrude," tenderly, "you are not unhappy? You love me?" "Yes," indifferently. "Then what troubles you?" "Nothing. Everything is so tedious. I am weary of people, weary of clothes, weary of myself." "And weary of me?" His wifo did not answer, perhaps did not hear. Mr. Courtland pondered intently, look ing at her curiously as she unwound a long scarf from her throat. Suddenly ho crossed the room, and taking up the gray coat put his hand into one of the i>ockets. "Where is that letter?" "What letter?" asked his wife, startled by the sharp tone of his voice. "The letter I left in the pocket of this coat." The man behind tho portieres started. "I saw no letter," replied Mrs. Court land, rising. "You have stolen it!" his voice increas ing in harshness as with mechanical courtesy he handed her the scarf she let fall. 4 "Ricffard!" "Stolen it, I say!" He was a powerful man. His brow grew heavy, his dark eyes glowed, his hands trembled, he looked brutal, and as ho strode up to his wife the woman shrank. "Richard, what is it? Why are you so strange?" V The man concealed became intensely interested. _ . Mr. Uourtland, seizing his wile's arms, j forced her down before him. "Give it up," he spoke thickly. "Richard, I swear I do not understand you." "Civo it ui)," ho reiterated. "Heaven help me! He will kill me"— j for her husband suddenly made a men acing movement, as though to seize her i throat. "Stop!" And with excitement the man ! burst out from behind the portieres. ! The three attitudinized in amazed si lence. "Who are you?" askel Mr. Courtland. Tho man hesitated, then answered sim ply, "Jonas Crane." "Oh!" cried Mrs. Courtland, "take care. He may be armed." The young man smiles. "I should think, ma'am," ho said quietly, "you'll bo more afraid of him than me. If I hadn't 'a' thought he'd hurt you, I'd never 1 given myself away." Mrs. Courtland looked bewildered. In her surprise she had forgotten her hus band's anger. "What are you doing here?" sho asked. "Well," ho replied respectfully, "I'd as lief not say." "Yes, but you must say. You are not a thieT' "No'm." "Well, then, what?" asked Mr. Court land. "Well, sir," said the youth cheerfully, "I work for Boy ton"—naming a swell tailor—"and before ho sent your suit homo he wore it courtin his lady friend and left a letter in it. It was not tho kind of a letter," looking down modestly, "for others to see, and I undertook to get it without lettin you know he'd wore your cloHies, but I got rattled when you seemed so mad. Tho letter wasn't any use to you, was it?" "Yes, Richard, what made you so angry?" "Gertrude," answered her husband. "I expected to find no letter. I was giv ing a lesson in realism. It was a pre tense—a little bit of acting to cure my wife's ennui." "Then you was actin, sir," said Jonas doubtfully. "I'm tliinkin it'll bo for our mutual advantage to say notliin of all this. Good ovening, ma'am," and with a polite little bow Jonas Crano walked down stairs, and they heard him shut the front door softly behind him. "Well, Gertrude," said Mr. Courtland hopefully, "was the end of your evening successful? If it pleases you, tomorrow I'll tiy something in the comic line—do a little dance, dally with the scenic or dip into melodrama." pis wife, rousing herself, gave a re gretful sigh. "It was very interesting, Richard, very, but"—looking up to him with a shadow in the lovely eyes—"l wish I had read that letter."—Anno Nettleton in New Orleans Times-Democrat. ISacteria In Tobacco. There seems to be no end to the dis coveries that await us concerning bac teria, and the relations of those micro scopic orgauisins to the well being of man. Who would ever have thought that tho peculiar flavors which charac terize different kinds or brands of tobac co aro due to tho presence of bacteria? Yet that is the conclusion to which in vestigations by a Gc.man botanist lead. In curing tobacco, or preparing tho raw, green leaf for use, a fermentative process called sweating is gone through with. It has been supposed that the chemical changes induced by this process were tho source of the peculiar qualities possessed by the cured tobacco. But, according to Suchsland's experiments, it appears that micro-organisms may bo the real cause of the changes. He has examined tobacco from all parts of the world which had been cured and has found in it an abundance of mi cro-organisms, and upon cultivating tho bacteria from a particular kind of tobac co and then inoculating another kind with this culture he has produced in it tho taste and aroma of the original. This discovery lias led to the sugges tion that the quality of tobacco grown in any country may be improved by sim ply inoculating it with bacteria from some finer flavored leaf growing else where. Wines havo already been im proved by a similar process.—Youth's Companion. Trouble With a Sword. A Lewis ton young man who was in Portland Saturday night found some antique Turkish swords in a window on Congress street, and having a love for art bought one for ornamental purposes and asked that tho clerk do it up in paper. Befuro ho had gone half a block the paper came off. Tho young man was waiting for the Boston boat to start. He carried the sword about the streets till people began to comment upon it. Then ho hid it under his ulster and was standing on the corner talking when it slipped down, striking on his too with tho sliarp point. He picked it up again and hid it under his coat. When he got into the theater, he was about to be seated when ho thought of the sword under his coat. He could not sit down until that sword came out, so unbuttoning the coat ho held the sword in his lap all tho evening. At midnight when ho went on board the boat one of tho officers saw the sword and said, "You may leave your valuables with the purs er."—Bangor Commercial. Undemocratic Franco. As a matter of fact Frenchmen are about tho least democratic people in the world in their social longings and ideals. France is politically a republic, but so cially it keeps up most of the character istics of an aristocracy. The difference between her and America in this resptv t is prodigious. In tho United States it is impossible to find a man with a dect-a tiun; ill France it is difficult to find any body without one. In spito of tlio revo lution titles are still maintained, and the highest ambition of every bourgeois would bo satisfied if he could marry his daughter to a nobleman. The insatiable thirst to put on a uniform of some kind, no matter what, lias often been used as a reproach against our Gallic friends.— London Telegraph. iNSiS CARTER HARRISON'S EAD FRENCH. lie Wanted XufiliroomM, but tlio Walter Brought Him an Umbrella. Some other Americans and myself had been in the habit of dropping into the [ Cafe Francais after leaving the Grand j Opera House. None of our party spoke French, and the head waiter was the only one in the cafe who spoke English. He had long, j flowing, red mutton chop whiskers. As soon as we would tako our seat 3 we ; would be approached by a waiter, where upon we would begin pulling our own phantom mutton chops to make him | understand that we wanted the head waiter. "Oui, oui," he would say, and in a few moments our bewhiskered friend, of whom Major Handy is a prototype, would be bowing and smiling and work ing graciously form tip. We met Carter Harrison. He went to the theater with our party, and after ward we took him'to the Cafo Francais. Carter Harrison was then, and may bo now, very fond of mushrooms. Before going into the restaurant he inquired the French name f- r them. He was told that they were called "champignons." Wo soon were seated at our usual ta ble and ono of the waiters came to us. Wo worked our imaginary mutton chops, but were given to understand that tlio head waiter was absent. Harrison tried to pronounce "champignon," but could not. He thought he had it perfectly, but his pronunciation was no more like tho French of it than my English is like the HiinJostnneo. Ho couldn't make tho waiter understand, until an inspiration camo to him. He seized his pencil and drew tho picture of a mushroom. Carter pronounced the word again and pointed at tho picture. There it was, plain as day to us who know what he wanted—the stem and canopylike top of tho vegetable. The waiter gazed at it in profound study for a moment, then tho light of comprehension spread over his features. "Oui, oui," lie'said, and trotted off. In a few moments ho returned, and bowing politely to Mr. Harrison, handed him an umbrella. We looked at the pic ture of tho mushroom, the waiter looked at it, and then Carter, umbrella in hand, looked at it. Then lie rose and said some thing that every American could under stand, but which, luckily for him, the waiter did not. Cnrter ato 110 mush rooms that night.—Chicago Inter Ocean. I*ulc'M For Judging Rubber. An investigation has been conducted by Lieutenant L. Vladiniiroff at the St. Petersburg Technical institute with a view to establishing rules or tests where by the quality of vulcanized imlia rub ber may bo efficiently judged. It is a notorious fact that no method of chem ical analysis gives a reliable result for this substance. Hence the tests applied were chiefly of a physical nature. From a lengthy series of experiments tho fol lowing conclusions were deduced: India rubber should not give the least sign of superficial cracking when bent to an angle of 180 degrees after fivo hours of exposure in a closed air bath to a temperature of 125 degrees centigrade. Tho test pieces should bo six centimeters thick. Rubber that does not contain more than half its weight of metallic oxides should stretch to five times its height without breaking. Caoutchouc, free from all foreign mat ter except tho sulphur used in vulcaniz ing it, should stretch at least seven times its length before rupture. Tho extension measured immediately after rupture has taken place should not exceed 12 per cent of the original length of the test piece of rubber. Tlio test piece should bo from II to 12 milli meters long, 8 centimeters wide and not more than 0 millimeters thick. Softness may bo determined by measur ing the percentage of ash formed on in cineration. It may form the basis for deciding between different grades of rub ber for certain purposes. The vulcanized rubber should not hard en under tho influence of cold tempera ture.—Electrician. "Cleveland Is Our President."

J. M. Grier, a farmer living near Mount Vernon, has a divining rod which he says will locate gold and silver. It consists of two strands of copper wire twisted together to make a rod, which is bent, forming an angle, with a ring at the apex, where tho wire is wrapped with cloth, with loadstone iiiHido. Mr. Grier says that this divining rod will in dicate the location of money, gold or sil ver, buried in the ground. He has bur ied gold and silver and allowed W. 11. Norman and \V. G.

Ha'penny, who was generally supposed to have been killed in the collision with Warpath and John Cavanagh at tho Gravesond track last September, is alive and doing well. Tho vast interest in trotters and pacers may bo judged from the fact that over 1,200 tracks hold certificates of member ship in the National and American Trot ting associations.

The ISuftleri Pessimist. I sat me down to write a rhyme of gloom. All was in tune for it; my temples throbbed; In semidarkness was my cheerless room, And through tlio trees tho sad breezo soughed ' and sobbed; My heart was burning with a fancied woe; Digestion waited not on appetite; My spirits came In dull and sluggish flow; Naught was there in the world that pleased my sight. My pen itself would not put down the thought— The pessimistic thought - that held my mind. Try as I would the fancy flew uncaught, Uncatchablc as any truant wind. Yet I wrote on, and when the rhyme complete Stared boldly at me from the saffron page 1 found myself a victim to defeat— I'd written this a,truly happy age!
