"It w8 niiidneaa and follyl" And as Julian Hlulr gave utterance to this excla mation he brought his liunil down upon bis desk with ti'eniendoiis force. The young man iu Ida excitement rose from hia chair and paced the Hour of his office. 'd rmide a fool of myself," he said bit terly, "iters lam, it ymimr lawyer, with out practice, in a little country town, and witii no hope of lettering my condition. Instead of waiting patiently for something to turn up I iiare had the audacity to fall In lure with tlie wealthiest heiress In the place, and to-night I forever disgraced myself by asking her to marry roe. To morrow I am to see her father. There can lie but one result. Mr. Howard ia a millionaire. He will ask me about my property and my pnjrecu. Well, I have about $3 iu my pocket and I owe $500.

It will lie liselcmt," h said, "to tell a man like Mr. Howard that I will wait for his daughter. He will simply show me tbf door, and all will lie oyer."

"ia It another dream," whispered Ju lian. ' I don't nnderstand," said the English' man, somen hut mystified. "Thia is no dream; it is business." Then he went on in his matter of fact way to make everything clear. "You have never culled on me before, nave your axxeu Julian. "Certainly not." milled the visitor: have just found yon, and it was no easy matter, 1 can tell you." "AU this Is very hard for me to be lieve," replied Julian, "und it will take time to convince me of ita reality." "Well, money ought to be tangible enough." aatrt the lawyer. "If you feel like drawing for a few thousand now I'll arramje It for yon. " Such a prnsjeitlnn was not to be re fused, and In tlie course of the day Julian Had fiu.msj to Ills credit In the bank. And then lie broke down under tha strain. For long weeks he lay either nn conscloiw or dvliriona, and the watchers by his bedside wondered at his talk. "His (rood luck turned his brain for the time," said old Mr. Howard. And this waa the view jieople took of the care. The sotier business men of tha town refused to believe that a penniless young man, with nothing to back him hut a dream, hod secured almost unlim ited credit and a rich heiress In the bar gain. "Dreams don't pan out that way," aaid one of them, aud this was the general opinion. Hut Julian, warned hy the tricks his imagination had played him, lost no time in obtaining his legacy and converting It into suinitantiHl Investments. When this was done he led sweet Alice Howard to the altar. Unre he said to her that he was indebted to a dream for ids greatest misery and his greatest happiness. This was all that he could be induced to say. . He had passed through a terrible crisis, and during the remainder of his life his preatest desire was to forget nil alioutit. Wallace P.

By a recent decision acting Secretary Grant by inference held that the World's Columbian Exposition is a private and not a national attair. it Assistant Sec retary Grant la correct, it will raise the question with some people how Congress came to decide the location of the exposition, by whit authority the President named the Commissioners and why Secretary Foster has been paying out public moneys to the government Fair Commissioners, who went abroad in the Interest of the exposition. As eiHlnnt Secretary Grant's decision came about in this way : There has been some complaint that the buildings erected were not safe, and the Chicago people nseeit that tuts complaint came from New York, where there never has been a friendly feeling for Chicago or the fair, In order to dispose of all these stories the CommiHiiionors asked the Secretary of War to detail a corps of engineers to inspect the buildings. The Commission ers thought a report by such a corps would have more weight than if It were made by private engineers. In replying to the rennest Secretary Grant stated that S -ction 1224 of the Revised Statutes forbade army ofllcers from performing work of any kind lor private persons or corporation", '"ml for this reason he was compelled to decline a compliance with the request.

" Julian found, after making his toilet, that he was still a little feverish, with a strange fullness in his head, but a glance at the mirror showed that he was looking unusually well. One thing startled him not a little in the course ot the morning. After a brief interview with one of the bankers of the town, he walked out on the street with $500 In his pocket. A sudden doubt struck him as he reached the sidewalk. Hod he made a mistake in telling the bnnkerof his good fortune? If the whole thing was only a dream, as he sometimes suspected, he had done a very ad t hing. "l'shawl" he said to himself, 1lI am sick anil nervous. How can it be a dream?" By degrees his confidence was restored, and later iu like day when hs saw Mr. Howard his manner was well calculated to impress the millionaire. He told the story of his legacy, and the rich mail took him by the hand and told him that no man iu the wide world would suit him better aa a sou-ill law. A week passed away delightfully. Blair found himself the lion of the town, hut he spent most of his leisure time with his atltanced. ., One morning the young lawyer arose, cool and clear headed, without a trace of ferer. lis looked back upon the events of the past week in amazement. He no longer hail any lieliet iu in visit of the man from London. It was a dream, and nothing else. "I am iu adisgracerul nx!" he groaned, I have lied to Jlr, Howard and to Alice, have borrowed money under false pre tenses. Nothing, will ever convnee peo ple that I am not 11 swindler." As the iliivs rolled ou, Julian grew tnm and pale. Ue could not bring himself to the point ot a confession to Mr. Howard and Alice, Then, too, some of his obli gations were coming due. There was ap parently no way out of the trouble. The thought of suicide took possession of his mind, aud be began to nerve himself for the deed. The card In Julian's hand bore the ad dress of Henry Morley, solicitor, Middle Temple, London, and as the owner of th card was ushered into the office, tlio young lawyer looked at him in blank surprise. It did not take long tor Mr. Morley to state his business. "My young friend," a said, rather! Hunting- Alligator. In Florida.

Inspector Byrua on Criminal. Professionals are very clannish; they run in gangs, the bank sneaks together, the hotel men, and so on through all classes of work. They all grouped and classified. There are, of course, some general thieves, but not many. Now, a man must be acquainted not only with the thieves themselves, but with the modus operandi of the different classes of work. These fellows all have their specialties they are bank burglars, or hotel men, or pickpockets, or forgers, or belong to some one of the many distinct classes of professional thieves. Some have rather limited specialties, like William B. Toole, for instance, who works doctors' offices only, stealing valu able instruments, or James Lee, alias Hartmann, alias Coleman, whose regular scheme Is to act as custom house collector, giving bogus orders for packages at. the custom house after the victim has paid the supposed charges on the same. Tbe method of procedure of a given class of thieves is a)out the same in all cases; variations are easily recognizable. Occa sionally, of course, an ingenious fellow turns up with something new, but not often. New York Cor. Cleveland Leader. DlnadTantag-ra of Hanging. Hanging is no good. lu the tlrst place, it requires a vast amount of perfunctory preliminaries. Feet have to be bound, arms must be tied, a noose must be adjusted, the cap must be drawn, the rope must be cut or a trap must be dropied, and with it seems to be an essential train of possible accidents. Sheriffs, as a rule, are simply successful politicians, rewarded by their party for exceptional work in the party's interest with a good, fat ofhee. If they are men of nsitive organization they naturally shrink from any duty that brings them Into disagreeable contact with their fel low men. If they are thick skinned, opinionated, brutal, forceful fellows, they will quite as likely shock their fellow citi zens by displays of their brutality. Jos Howard jn New York Graphic. The factory lie, in the heart of a great ax panss of aandy plain on the southwest coast of Scotland. On approaching it a visitor ia hailed by the mounted guard that patrols the environment of the factory; and be will have to show very satisfactory credentials before he it allowed to go further. On the way to the manager's house a village is passed where live the whole of the operatives employed ia the manufactory of mtro-glycerina. It ia merely a street of small tenements standing on th, threshold of the palisades which en close M. Konel ' bouses. Home distance from the manager's house is the abed where the practical process of making nitro-glyoerine is seen at a glance. Before the visitor get there, however, he is divested of his watch, chain, money, keys, and every particle of metal be may hare about him. This seem ingly excessive precaution is perfectly neces sary, for a fall of even a penny on a floor containing a grain of tbe explosive might be attended with disaster. Felt shoes have to be worn. a de lic ats ope ratiow. In the first shed reached there Js a large tank in which are two parts of oil of vitriol and one part of the fuming- nitric acid. A cistern above the tank contains glycerine, and when thia is introduced into the acid the compound known as mtro-glyoerine ia at once formed. The oieration is, however, au ex tremely dolicate one. The tank ia in charge of a workman upon whom tbe sole responsi- biuty of an explosion rests. If too much glycerine is introduced into tbe acids at one time, tbe temperature ot the mixture may rise above 77 degs. Fahrenheit, and a spon taneous explosion will at once follow ; so that tbe operative's eyes are never off tbe ther mometerhis own bops of safety lies in keeping down tbe temperature of tbe mixt ure to some 7 or b degs. below its explosive beat. He is aided somewhat by ice and cold water which are outside the vat; but tbe compound is occasionally erratic and will gain beat notwithstanding all precautions. For such a case the only alternative is to move a lever, wbich lowers one side of the tank, and allow the whole of tbe contents to run through a sluice into a pond, when it is about an even chance whether it will ex plode ere it leaves tbe abed or wait until it reaches the open. The second step is to wash the newly formed chemical combination in water, which very slightly absorbs It. It ia then put into "Winchester quarts, and conveyed with tbe utmost care into wooden but or dug-outs. As an instance of the extreme susceptibility of nitro-glycerine to concus sion, it is related that a man waa once seen to slip in tbe act of depositing a bottle in a but; he merely tripped, in tbe ordinary sense of -tbe word, but there was an instant ex.- plosion aud hardly a fragment of tbe poor fellow , gathered for decent burial. Passing on through other sheds, we see the ' mixture ot the mtro-glycerina with a pecu liar f oraininif erous earth, the new substance being dynamite. This is tben- carried to a ; king abed, whore it is pressed Into cartridges by machinery, tha operatives being young women. HAST PRECAUTIONS TAKI!. Not tbe least curious of tbe many curiosi ties at these works are the ponds into which the washing water is run. Tradition has it that tbe detonative property of tbe water was not discovered, until an angler one day attempted to seduce tbe fish with a May-fly. At his first cast, however, the pond blew up, and be found himself some bundrevsof yards away, happily unhurt. To obviate a similar danger now, Saturday is reserved exclusively for cleaning tha works in every department, and anion, other things for deliberately blowing up the ponds. After congratulating himself on a safe journey through the various houses, the stranger is apt to hurry from the factory and only to breathe freely when he is again at tbe station. He will not have failed, however, to notice tbe many precautions taken to insure safety for those who daily risk their lives in these very hazardous operations. Each section of tbe operatives is distin guished by a peculiar canvas suit with a colored marking; no one may go on any pre tence leaving his own department. Tbe women work in felt shoes and bathing dVessea. and every single workman or workwoman ia stripped and reclothed before going to their labor. The explosive, too, are handled in the smallest possible quantities, save in the first room of manufacture, where enough is made at one time to blow up a city. The nitro glycerine itself is a transparent, colorless, oUy fluid, slightly soluble in water, but readily so in spirit, ether or fat One favor ite way of destroying it is by boiling it in potash, when it decomposes, glycerine and niter being formed. Perhaps the most curious use to which it has ever been put is the result ot the searching investigations ot its medic inal properties by Dr. William Murreli, wbo found it almost a specific for angina pectoris, neuralgia and many developments ot heart disease.

Fair amateur photographers have Various ways of making their work ornamental. The pictures wbich tbey take in their studios or conservatories are mounted in odd fash ions. One girl showed to ms a white satin fan on wbich she had photographed a group of friends whispering to each other. She had a fire screen with artistically arranged groups clustered about the fireplace. One group waa a Halloween party watching chest nuts roasting on tbe hearth. This scene might be looked at by anybody, but in ber chamber she bad pictures that were destined for her own eyes alone, or, at most, for those of her most intimate friends. Around the mirror was a circle of finely mounted photo graphs of her girl friends in their prettiest robes de nuit, "Here they are every evening to bid me good night," she said, "and I was so pleased with the fancy that I made this," showing a group of white robed girls with flowing tresses ana one witn beautiful bands working at the curl papers on ber bead. Circling around these photographs was a long curl paper, on which the words "Good night" bad been engraved in a fantastic scroll. This picture stretches clear across the headboard of her bed. On tbe footboard was an assem bly of fair ones iu all stages of attire girls of the garter and girls of tbe cross one but toning her shoes and another lacing her whalebone and watchspring machinery. These were all smiling a "Good morning." Ons more possession of thia versatile young lady amused me. It was a small card table to be given as a prize at the next pro gressive euchre party.
