A prominent Englishman, Lord D a proverbial hater of America and Ameri cans, was dining lately iu Paris with tbe British mtuister. and next to him at the ta ble was a noted Newport belle, Miss X. The conversation had drifted to a discus sion of things American. It is needless to say that Lord D. made some pretty disa greeable remarks about some Americans ha bad met and some Yankee customs he abhorred. ' "Why, d'ye know," he continued, wltb an almost unpardonable want of tact, "that at some of tbe places I dined in America I saw people eat with their knives and spill tbeir soup on Hie tablecloth." MissX. was thoroughly provoked by this time, but she replied witb an apparent unconcern: "Wbat poor letters of introduction you must have had, my lord!

Bat Commissioner Proctor lias Distin guished Himself as Gaologlat. Politicians and civil service reformers were somewhat astonished a short time ago by President Cleveland's summary remov al of Civil Service Commissioner Gcorgo D. Johnston, who had refused to resign his position when requested to do so, though offered in exchange an appointment In the consular service. Mr. Johnston was tbe Democratic member of tbe commission, but was appointed by President Harrison under the requirements of the lnw. He was nnable to agree with his colleagues, Messrs. Roosevelt and Lyman, on several matters and was particularly opposed to the further exteusionof the civil service law to include some minor positions not now affected by it. John R. Proctor of Kentucky, who was appointed to tbe vacancy caused by Mr. Johnston's removal, was ofllcial geologist of the Blue Grass State for 10 or 12 years, an office in which be succeeded Pro fessor Shaler of Harvard univer sity, and is widely known as an au thority on geology and mineralogy.

He was legislated out of of fice by the failure of the legislature to pass an appropriation to sustain the work of the survey. Mr. Proctor was a judge in the depart ment of mines and mining of tbe World's fair in Chicago aud also a member of the board of appeals. He is the author of tbe report on "The Coals of the World," which has not yet been published. He has large interests In mineral lands in Kentucky and elsewhere and has done a great deal to in terest foreign capitalists in that sort of in vestments, making many trips abroad for that purpose. He has an extensive per sonal acquaintance among foreign scien tists, as well as with those of the United States. Hla name was favorably mentioned In connection with the position of United States geologist, for which it was thought he was an applicant. The flirt geological work done by Mr. Proctor which attracted attention was the exploration of the coal and Iron fields of kdmonson and bray son counties soou after bis return to Kentucky from school.

The idea bo longs to Mrs. Leon Jastremski, who noticed the assembling of a group of giris at luncneon time in tno rear or a little store, and concluded that a place where women might rest, lunch and re fresh themselves would be welcomed by all women who are employed. Two large rooms were secured, were lighted and furnished with lounges, easy chairs, growing plants and newspapers iu tho way women most like.

American Dairyman. By HENRY HARLAN D, "I'm sure 1 fool greatly flattorod by her interest iu me," I said. "Yes, it is real nico," Musello agreed. "The olo man, her fazalr," ho went on, after a moment's pause, "he is a funny ole fellor. 'E die of cawnsomption, you know." "So you told mo the othor dny. Do they tbiuk it's funny?" "Ah, that is not w'at 1 have meant. 1 mean he is fonny in uzzair ways." "Aha! For example?" "Well, for example. Well, 'o is a well, 'e is w'at you call iu Ecnglis lib eral." "Liberal, is he? Then ho is rich?" "Oh, no; you do not understand. 1 mean in tho Kilitio. 'E is liberal, radi cal, communist. In ltossia 'e 'uvo been in prison five, six I do' know 'ow many years for a revolutionist." "Really! A live Nihilist! But-but I thought you said he was Hungarian." "The numo Eczardy is'Ungarian; yes, you right Bot the olo fuller, 'e is Rus sian. His family 'avo resido in Rossia since two hawndred year. Jus' like mebbe you know Eonxlis man named Beaucbamp, or uzzair French naiuo, yet 'e is Eenglis all the same. 'E is Russian gentleman wiz 'Uugariau name, that's all Well, as 1 toll you, 'o is a revolu tionist; and he got found hout in a plot; and they arrest him and lock him op for five or six years in solitar' confinement, all alone, waiting till they try him, and ten they tck him before the magistrate, Gen.

Bot since two, free weeks 'e is inoch worse than he 'ave been formerly, and 'e see no one excep' tho doctor." After a little pause he added blithely, "He never bo better again, I guess. "It s rafflicr sad for his daughter." I suggested. Yes, you right; hit is. She 'ave to work to gain their life, and at the same time sho must be his noree. Yes, it is hard for her, no mistek. She get tired hout." "Is her only means of livelihood her painting?" "Yes, that s aw. She mck beeg crayon drawings for photographers, and she pent miniatures and boil paintings. I get her to pent a miniature of myself on bivory. She pent beautiful, no use talk ing. W'at you think of this?" He unbuttoned las coat and extracted from its inner pocket an oval case in red morocco. Opening it he submitted for iny inspection the miniature in question. "Eh, w'nt you think of that?" he re peated. 1 was surprised to find that it was an exceedingly clever piece of painting. In stead of the conventional product of the miniature maker that I had expected I beheld the handiwork of an able and painstukiug artist. Well drawn, well modeled, well handled in respect of color, it presented tho exterminator to the life. Ilia wig. his powder, his rongo, his jowolry, his foppish costume, aud be hind them all, like a skull behind a mask, his genuine old ago, wore reflected as truthfully and us pitilessly as in a looking glass. It was justice untom- pered by inorcy, and it was extremely good. "Why, this is cnpitall" I excluimed. "Sho has real talent. What a shame that she should wa.ute herself on minia tures aud working for photogrnpliersi" "Yes, it is beautiful: it is very fine,1 srmiieeced Muselle, griimiug compla cently. "But if Bho work for photogra phers, you know, hit is because, as we say in Franco, u rant vivre, ono must live. What would you 'ave? She mek no money if she don't." Yes, yas, I understand. But the wo man who painted that has it in her to do things that would really ba worth while.

II j i.-.i mo to tho back room on tho second story, which was furnished as a bedroom, and there, having closed tho door and thrown open the blinds, "This is my 'omo," he announced; "and here is the picture." Uo had described it us a bin nicturo: and big it scarcely was. But in point of artistic merit it tar surpassed what I had come prepared for, even though tho spocinien of her work which he had shown ma nbovo stairs had been so good. Its dimensions were perhaps two feet by eighteen inches, and it represented the interior of a dungeon or prison coll. An oblong window, too Irish nn to be roach- ed without a ladder, too narrow to nor- mit tho passage through it of a human body, and further protected bv stout iron bars, admitted daylight and framed in a patch of slaty wintry sky. For the rest thoro were bare stone walls, a stone ceiling and a stone floor; whilo a broad stone slab, co constructed that it formed part of the solid masonrv of tha wall from which it projected, was the only piece of furniture in evidence, and manifestly answered at once for bed. stool and table. So much for the acces sories. They were rendered in n spirit of exact, almost photographic realism; and the effect of miiKsivcness, remoteness and gloom, proper to tho subject, was vividly Conveyed. ;.d now the interest of the lent. Indeed, If the drawing, coloring and modeling had not been very good no such final emotional effect could have been obtained. "Well," demaudod the exterminator, who stood at my elbow, " 'ow you like It, eh?" "Oh," I said, "It Is very strong. Very powerful and Imaginative and moving. But how did she come to choose such a painful subject? And who was her model? Where did she ever find such an awfully broken down old man?" "Eh, for the subjec' she pent w'at in terest her, I Biipioso. The model, "e was the ole man himself." "What old man? Where did she find him?

One afternoon a week or so later while I was at work washing my brushes in my studio somebody began to sing In the room above. The voice was femi nine, a deep and sweet contralto, and I took for granted thbt the singer must be Miss Eczardy. I listened with a good deal of interest, as well as a good deal of pleasure, for besido that the voice was in itself agreeable tho song she sung seemed to me to be very curious as weil as very pretty. Though the words, of course, wore quite indistinguishable I guessed that it was a Russian song, jier- naps a folk song, it had much of that- savage impetuosity of rhythm and that almost barbnnc brilliancy of color which wo feel in some of the compositions ol Rubinstein. It was swift, merry, jubi lant even, in its movement; yet a pro longed minor wail seemed to run all ot comjiositiiin centered iu the figure of an oia man, nviti-,1 npou tho broad stone bench, with his elbows resting on his knees, his fingers buried in his long, white beard, and his eyes fixed intently, vacantly, painfully straight before him. There was something so irresistibly pathetic in that old man's face and figure that I, who hud come to criticise, felt myself instantly penetrated by an emo tion of distress and sympathy as if I were looking upon a veritable human being and not ninin a mere efflv in paint and canvas. His face was terribly emaciated; t'le cheekbones and tho bridge of his noso seemed to l al nost starting through the skin. His hair an 1 beard were long and white uud un combed and untrimmed. His skiu had that clayey, ghastly pallor which results from long seclusion from fresh air and sunshine. His clothes were old and worn and they hung baggily nliout his limbs as if he had shrunk up within them. His attitude, limp and b -nt over and huddled together, breathe 1 a broken spirit in every line; and his eyvi in their fixed, purposeless stare exprvs - J the de spair and the hopelessness a:i 1 the deep dull pain that consumed his heart far more movingly than words ewr could have done. In examining thit picture you quite forgot to think of tho artist's IflcV'Tilft wJUdliJM'wevax. was excel- through it, giving a secondary effect sorrow. Here and thoro would occnr ropeten-.l, censisting of a succession tei'sehigh notes; every new departure and variation of the tune always finished by bringing np nt this same rejietend; the Influence of it upon the hearer was very strange. It sounded like hilarious laugli ter, yet at the same time it sounded like wild, passionate sobbing, and it moved the heaver at once to pain and to pleas ure in a way that was very strange. Gradually ns I listened the rhythm appeared to become more regular, the eccentricity of the melody to moderate a little. "It begins," I thought, "to re semble something that I have heard be fore. WliNt? Ah, I remember; it is good deal liko that song of Carmen whereby poor Don Joso is made to lose his heart to her. There is tho same effective use of the chromatic scale. She does it beautifully. I should immensely liko to see her. I can fancy the way her eye Hashes, the way her cheek flushes. She must be pretty. No woman could sing with so much fire and spirit unless she were pretty Hello! what is this?" The floor over my head had begun tc vibrate to the measure of a dance; the singer had begun to dance in time to her music. It struck mo all at onco that this was a little singular. Could Miss Eczardy not only sing but dance with her father ill unto death in the next or for ull 1 knew, iu the samo room? : was pondering this enigma in mv mind when sonieboity rapped upon my door. "Unine in, 1 called. Tho exterminator entered, Ho en tered on tiptoe, as if fearful of making the least noise, and with his finger raisou, ms lips pursed and his brows knitted, as if to enjoin silence unon me as wen. l looised up, puzzled, and wait ed for him to vouchsafe tin explanation. xlo advanced very cioso to me, when. bending forward, aud protecting his moutn witn tun opsn palm of his hand.

I felt as though I should not tit nil object to following him. I was be-nnuimr to be mightily interested in Miss Eczardy; and I am sure I should havo surpassed the exterminator himself in apprecia tion of her dancing if I, too, had been permitted to witness it. Iti t rorriwril Hamarbabla Slory ot lodlau Cruelty Ha- pariuuuvaa or illoujr. Liiviiig near una town is a woman whoso prefectly bald head tells a curious tory of jealousy and Indian cruelty. Iu 1WD Oswald Thurwald, a Swedish farm er, bud a borne Iu the territory close to the lexas border, aud his family con sisted of liia wife, two daughters aud a sou. The Indians aeomed friendly, pass- Uig over the ihurwnlds even when slay lug the othor settlers about and fre quenting their place to sell their wares and to purchase such goods as Thur wald brought out from the states for barter. Ho was rapidly growing rich and hud mude his preparations to move to Dallas, where be Intended to extend his business, when tho tragedy occurred that destroyed his homo and scattered his family. It seems that the chief of theTonkawa Indians, who visited that part of the country from tho south on raiding ex peditions, bad seen Elsa, the elder daughter, and fancying her offered to buy ber or her father. But Thurwald, though fond of money, refused, which gave great offenso to the chief. Return ing home, ho incited his people against the Thurwalds, and tho following spring they made an attack on him. He and his son succeeded in escaping, but the wife and younger daughter, though they eluded capture the first few duya, were overtuken finully. Mrs. Thurwald sank under the fatigue of her flight through a rugged country, and when the Indians came up with them it was to find the girl holding her mother in her arras, tbe poor woman having just expired. The next day tho girl herself, luggiug on the march from an arrow wound in her ankle, was shot iu the presence of ber sister, who hud been seized and held from the moment of the attack till now. She was tnkeu to a village and given into the charge of the squaws until the men should have returned from the war trail. Iu the meantime the Klckupoos de clared war on the Tonkawus and ruided tho village, when Elsa Thurwald was curried off with such of the Indian women us were spared as slaves. The Toukawas, on returning, found the smoking remains of the house and started after the despoilers, overtaking them close to the Colorado, where an obstinate battlo ensued, but both sides then consented to a truce. The chief of the Kickupoos, however, stipulated that the white woman should be given him. This was opposed by the Tonka wa chieftain, who claimed her by right of priority. This brought on a quarrel, which was terminated by a hand to hand fight between tho rivals, resulting in the chief of the Tonkawas being killed and the bone of contention fall ing to the victor. He carried hor home and confided her to the cure of his squaw with the injunc tion that if she were injured in any way the lire or the woman would pay for it. But, fired by jealousy for her successor, the woman took advantage of her lord's absence to wreak her vengeance on the detested object. Binding her to a tree, she deliberately pulled out the unfor tunate beauty's huir thread by thread, This torture lasted soveral hours, until the white woman's head was covered with blood and sho shrieking with ngony. When the chief returned and learned what had occurred, he ordered the witch burned at the stake. She escaped into the bush, but was recovered and the sentence executed. Thurwald had now died, but Lis son, hearing of his sister being iu the hands of tbe Indians, organ ized a rescuing party and succeeded in liberating her after 18 months of captiv ity. Her head took weeks to heal, and it is thought her mind was affected by her savage treatment, though in 1873 she married a farmer iu this vicinity. Her huir has never grown again.

Whei. he camo out again, he was astonished to find tho quid in the place where he had left it. "Poo!" said he, in the hearing of some of tbe sailors, "you Frenchmen will never be true sea dogs. No English blue jacket, now, would ever have left an ad miral's quid alone." Whereupon one of the French sailors stopped up, touched his cup and suid: Beg pardon, admiral. I was chew ing your quid while you was in there, but I put it back, you know, when I heard you coming out." Chicago Post Dt.A 'tl I U I ! .1 U . 11.1.

Cardinal Dubois was equally in love witb the vegetable served with white sauce. Being once invited to dine together at the house of a friend the effort was made to gratify the palates of both by prepar ing half the asparagus with butter and half with white sauce. While the preparations were in prog ress the news was brought in thnt the Cardinal was dead. Foutenello did not wait a moment. Rushing to the door of the kitchen, he cried to the chef: "Jean! Jean!
