OF 'BA.GS ICopyvitfit. l."".-4. by T. C. McClure. It h.'ti iit'iitv! twenty years :go, ami to Ui tluy I am iuz;:kvil to know how 1 rxolia;i-r.l 1i;s with a follow travelev on the tr;.in i'ro:u Leiblou to Liverpool. TUo o.v h;;nuo was made, however, ami ittactly Alike were the bags that I mpposeJ I l:a 1 my owu until I found that niy key would not open it. I ad vertised for the owner of the strange bag and for the holder of my own, and let six weeks elapse before taking the bag to a locksmith and having hirn fit a key. I had met with no great loss in my bag, and I gained nothing by the ex change. Aside from a few articles of wearing apparel the strange bag con tained only papers. I felt for a time that I had no right to read these docu ments, and they had been In my pos session nearly six months before I brought thnn out one evening and spent two hours in their perusal. I was an old bachelor, and am to this day for that matter. I was also a bar rister and am not so old but what I dabble in law a bit yet. The papers wore carefully prepared legal docu ments bearing on the ease of Major Saunders, an Lng'.ish army officer who had been cashiered in Egypt. They proved him a great scoundrel, taken altogether, and my opinion was that some one with a private grievance to satisfy had employed a lawyer and a detective to trace the major's record back for many years and make him out as guilty of almost everything but murder. I could not recall that I had ever read or heard of him and certain ly had no Idea of ever meeting him face to face. Strange things happen in this world, however. On the second afternoon after my perusal of the papers I was invited by a friend to dine with him at his club. The Leisure Hour club was respecta ble in a way, l.v.t haw the reputation of numbering r. good runny high rollers among its members. There was al ways play go;.:g on, nr. J It was so high that more than one man had come to fnancial grief. After dinner I was taken into the card room, and it was there that I came face to face with Ma jor Saunders. lie had come home from Egypt and dunked his name and by avoiding the muitary clubs had escap ed recognition. Indeed, ho was posing as a Frenchman and making no claim to having be n an officer. You v'l woader how I recognized him. My profession has made me as observing as u detective. The papers contained a minute description of the man as minute as if he had been a murderer fleeing from justice. One of the points was a particular scar on his face, another was the shape of his nose, another was a slight limp in his gait, Btill another was a finger missing from his left hand, carried away by the bul let of a dervish. Before making any move in the mat ter I set myself to find out why the major visited the club at all. I soon discovered that the high play was the magnet, and the three of us who watched hini like so many hawks were not long In making out that he was one of the cleverest card sharpers of the day. lie had been a winner from the first, but was such a slick one that he had not been detected in cheating. We made no mistake on him. Not a whls Ior was permitted to get around until we had the most convincing proof that fie was a cheat and a swindler. How he got on to me and the fact that I bad papers In my possession in criminating Lira Is a greater mystery than tie exchange of bags. I have sometimes figured that he might have boon the owner of the bag I opened, having perhaps stolen it from the right ful (wtfr, Something must have been paid in his hearing by some member of the club, as he never asked me con cerning the bgs. Indeed. I had not passed ten words of conversation with him. In some way that will never bo clear to me he came to know or to suspect that I had the papers and had or might recognize him, and he laid his plans accordingly. I had my office at that time in a street off the Strand. It was up four flights and in the rear and quite cut off from any other build ing. I can't say that I expected a call from the major. I cannot even say that I was sure he knew what a whip I held over him and was prepared for any move on his part. If I had figured on his making any move at all it would have been to drop out of sight and be heard of In the club no more. Terbaps this would have been his course had not the pickings been so good and had he not lien so sure that his rascalities were too doc;,iy concealed to be ex posed. It was one dark and foggy February day that he appeared in my chambers with the excuse that lie wished to con sult me on a legal matter. He stated a theoretical case with great lluency and many details, and his friendly demean or in time threw me off my guard. At least had he come in any other manner I should Lae b-eu more or less pre pared for the move he finally made. We were talking In a quiet, confiden tial way, as lawyer ami client may, and he sat facing me ami not over four feet away when he suddenly dr'W a K.uire nna sprang at me. uv jkffrnse was pure instinct. I was a pretty strong man then, paying consid erable attention to athletics, and as I rose up I caught him by the wrist of the hand holding the knife, and we struggled around the room for two or three minutes. At the end of that time and without my knowing that the knife had touched him he sank down on the floor and was dead in Ave minutes. In our struggle the knife had been turned against him and penetrated his abdomen and ended his life. M. QUAD. THE HUMAN BRAIN. It Is Our Moist IHsMj- Specialized and Vitalized Ovgnn. The story of the brain as scientists have gradually unfolded its peculiar construction is of marvelous Interest. This pulpy and apparently homo geneous mass is revealed to us as the most highly specialized and vitalized or'in in the human body. It consists of hundreds of millions of separate and independent organisms, once known as nerve cells, but now called 'neurones." These units of the brala are indopendtLt bodies and consist of ti cell body, it ' axis and Its branches. The cell body contains within its cov eiing membrane elements which gen erate the nerve force or energy. The axis is the nerve or medium which conveys' that force, and the branches are the means of communication of the neurones with each other and with (he organs and tissues to which the nerve is distributed. The life history of theue microscopical bodies is the same as the cells of other organs and tissues. They are implanted before birth and may remain dormant for a lifetime. If stimulated to activity they enlarge through more abundant nutri tion, but va-le and atrophy when the atliauhiut iJ removed. They are under going constant changes through the process of nutrition and from the in nuruerable impressions made upon them by objects within and without the body. Stephen Smith, M. D., LL. D., in Leslie's Magazine. OLD TIME COSMETICS. Seme of the Cenntlliers t'sed by the l);;!iien Oi Antiquity. xV most repulsive cosmetic, but one which some Roman dames of antiquity esteemed as most precious, was the blood of the young hare. During the sixteenth century the wa ter in which beans had been boiled was used as a complexion wash, and this farinaceous water is entitled to all the fame it possesses. The ancient Gauls, whose beautiful color was a subject of so much envy to the patrician Romans, washed their faces in the foam of beer; also In a liquid made from dissolving chalk In vinegar. An old Italian recipe for obliterating the injurious effects of salt air and sunshine is to bathe tho face with the white of an egg well beaten. Let it dry on the skin and rinse it off after fifteen minutes. This treatment must be repeated three or four times and al ways at night before retiring. Rome under the empire and Greece during the time of Pericles were seized with a mania for golden hair. Many a dame dampened her raven tresses -In the strongest of muriatic acid and sat In the sun to bleach her hair to the coveted yellow. Others used lye and afterward anointed their heads with oil made from goat fat, ashes of the beech tree and certain yeilow flowers. SHAKING HANDS. A Few General Rolen That Govern This PUaie of Etlactte. When to shake hands is a subject which depends somewhat on circum stances, yet a few general rules may be given. When a man is Introduced to i a woman she does not shake hands ' with him unless he is decidedly elderly J or distinguished. If he is the husband j or brother of the woman presenting , him it is natnral to receive him cor- j dlally by shaking hands, but it is not form to do so if he is a mere acquaint ance. A hostess should shake hands with every guest who comes to her house, both on their arrival and departure. Women do not shake hands when In troduced to each other, but merely bow. When, however, a young girl is , presented by a friend to a married woman the latter shakes hands with her, but the girl must not make the first advance. Mn shake hands when introduced to each other as an expression of good will. When leaving an entertainment a man shakes hands with the hostess, and ho may do so with friends who are near, but he must not go about shaking hands generally. New York Journal. To Strenfrthen the Eyed. The eyes will be greatly strength ened by putting the face down Into a glass or eye cup of water the first thing in the morning ami opening them under water. This Is somewhat diffi cult to do at first, but If the water for two or three days be tepid and gradu ally be made colder by Imperceptible degrees until It Is no shock to put the face Into quite cold water It will soon become easy and Is very invigorating and refreshing. The eyes should be wiped after this by passing a soft tow el very gently from the outer angle In ward toward the nose. A BRAVE QUAKER LAD. He "Wouldn't FIIit, but lie Troved lie Wu Not Afraid. When the questiou of courage is on;e Fettled it hardly makes a difference what kind it is, whether it is on the battleiiciil or in the tent. In ljjdl, says Lippincott's Magazine, the great-grand-ji.m of a Quaker who had settled on an island in Lake Champlnin was drafted. "It will be no use," said the young man. "I shall never fight. My mother taught me it is a sin. It is her religion, and my father's, and their fathers'. I shall never raise my hand to kill any ime." The recruiting officer took no notice. "We'll see about that later," said he. The regiment went to Washington, and the Quaker boy drilled placidly and shot straight. "But I shall never fight," said he. Word went out that there was a traitor in the ranks. The lieutenant conferred with the captain, and all the forms of punishment devised for re fractory soldiers were visited on this lad. He went through them without flinching, and then he was taken be fore the colonel. "What does this mean?" demanded fhe officer. "Don't you know you. will be shot?" The Quaker smiled a little. He had steady eyes and a square chin. "That is nothing," he said. "Thee didn't think I was afraid, did thee?" The prisoner went back to the guard house, and the colonel sought out Pres ident Lincoln. "Why, that's plain enough," said the president. "There's only one thing to do. Trump up some excuse and scud him home. You can't kill a boy like that, you know. The country needs all her brave men, wherever they are. Send him home." So the Quaker went back to the is land, to life and duty as he saw them, and his children tell the story. DIED.
